Carrera, and the man who aided in
such an effective manner the cause
of our independence, the Anglo-Saxon
Republic has had the good fortune
to send to us more than one man
whose personality remains in the
memory of Chileans surrounded with
special feelings of kindliness.
I'VE believe that the name OF the
present Ambassador of the United
Collier, will be one of those which
will survive in the history of the
good relations between Chile and
America.
From the time that he arrived in
our country, something over two
years ago. Mr.. Collier has shown
himself to be a type Of American
| especially fitted to gain for himself
| the good will of the Chileans; to
penetrate into the intimacy Of our
character, and to give to his coun-
try and to ours the splendid service
of strengthening their friendship for
each other. -
But that which above all reveals
him to the Chileans as the man whom
we would wish to be the representa-
tive OF that great power in our coun-
try is his eagerness to know our
country, to penetrate to the very soul
of the people, to bind himself to us
by repeated acts of sympathetic in
tereSt.
Knows Country Wei.
Mr.. Collier is the first foreign dip
lomat whom we recall of whom it can
be said that he knows all of Chile
from the extreme north to Punta
Arenas in the Straits of Magellan
without leaving out even the small
villages or any notable industry, any
of the spots of beautiful scenery or
the remote corners of the coun-
try which gives promise of future
riches.
There are not many Chileans who
can say, as he can, that they have
sailed on the Lakes of Lanquihue and
Todos los Santos, that they have been
present at the operations in the
manufacture of nitrate. know our coal
mines and witnessed the rounding up
of cattle on our great haciendas.
He has traits which show to us
that idealism which lies at the bottom
or American character, and which is
the part most generally unknown in
the psychology of that people. Thus
We see him today, calling together
his compatriots, to bring back in the
embassy the scene which took place in
the general OIL tne time OF
Poinsett when, on the 4th of July,
1912, the Americans resident in San
tiago sang the hymn which Camilo
Henriquez, the editor of the first
Chilean newspaper. has written in
praise of the United States and of it's
friendship with Chile.
Praise for ThOrouEhnesa.
Mr.. Collier has thoroughly gone
over all the history of the relations
between his country and ours. Where
he has found "reminiscences indicative
of fraternity and mutual esteem, he
has made note of it, portraits Of prom
inent Americans given by him to our
various institutions, commemorative
of acts indicative Of cordiality; none
of them has been overlooked.
He is a great disseminator Of the
seeds of good international under
-tanding. We Chileans will always
upon him a friend of our
try, and we sincerely believe that
he leaves Chile-may that not
tor long time-William Miller
yllier will often think of this far
away republic where he has so many
friends and so many admirers of his
talent, and so many Witnesses of
his lofty and noble work.

Refugees Suffer from
Malaria in Macedonia

They have high winds in Salontka-
the gales come driving down from the
Dardar marches and pierce to the
very marrow of the bones of the
Greek refugees who shiver over their
brushwood fires.
But 1t takes more than a brushwood
fire to warm the blood Of the malaria
patient; and even when the weather
is favorable, the chills and fever raw
ish the strength of those who should
be building homes and cultivating or
harvesting their crops
Last winter there were 100000 Of
these refugees with funds which have
been contributed from the Greek gov
eminent and from different relief SO
cieties. Last year a dispensary was
opened at Egribudzak. Malaria pa
tients who were able, came here for
quinine; but often the nurse had to
travel out to the different villages,
walking long distances, giving pills
and injections Of quinine. Sometimes
she found the whole population of a
village PROSTATE with the fever.
These refugees are self-respectins
persons who have known better times.
They do not want to become objects
of charity, they want honest pay for
honest work; but 1t is hard to keep up
morale when this disease attacks the
system. The American Farm School
and the Cooperative Association have
stood like breakwater between the
refugees and despair. If medical and
nursing personnel can be maintained
much suffering can be prevented and
many lives saved.

ELECTRICITY AND THE FARMER
Smith, Professor Agricultural Engineering College
Washington

Our country is only just beginning
to harness it's greatest source of pow
er which, with proper precautions,
will never diminish or fail The falls
and rapids of America are beautiful
to behold, but they are also of ire
mendous economic Importance. There
is running to waste annually in Can
ada and the United States sufficient
water power to equal that which could
be obtained from burning 500,000,00O
tons Of coal.
By stepping up the voltage of the
electricity at the dams to from 10000
to 100000 volts, it is possible to de-
liver electric power to points from
$50 to $50 miles distant with a COM
paratively little loss of power. With
these high voltages, several thousand
horsepower is delivered on a wire the
size of lead pencil-a fact so great
that it is hard to grasp.
This electric power, sometimes call
ed white COAL" is rapidly replacing
other sources Of power in the indus
tries. The steam plant is dropping
out of the race. Even steam locomo-
tives are being replaced by electric
ones of still greater power than the
giant steam moguls.

United States. This will mean a great
deal in the future development of this
region.
But where does the farmer connect

ment? Speaking generally, the large
electric-producing companies have not
been greatly Interested in furnishing
electricity to the farmer. They have
not pushed the sale of electricity out
side of thickly-settled regions or To-
calities where a large amount OF
power is used.
The farmer has seen what electric.
ity has done for his friends in the
towns and cities, and is beginning to
ask for electricity to assist him in his
task of feeding the nation. II the
country folk are to get electricity,
must be found for them to use
.icient amount to pay the power
anies to put in transformers and
poles and wires. The new ways OF
using electricity must also be more
economical than the present power
producers. To get the greatest econ
omies, the amount Of electricity used
must not vary too much. 1t should
rather be small amperage, but that
amperage to be used as continuously
as possible, day in and day out. Fol
example, it would not pay to buy and
use six horsepower electric motor

The farm is already loaded up witt
too much equipment that can only b.
used for short time each year. The
! way to use electricity economically
would be to have small motor and

CLICK OF AMERICAN TYPEWRITER
rs HEARD THE WORLD AROUND

our American neighbors, north and
south, about three millions, to Asia
and Oceania one and one-half mil
lions and to Africa nearly one million
dollars. Many of these machines 60
ing to countries having an alphabet
different from our own are equipped
with the letters and numerals used in
the countries to which they are being
sent.
The growth In the use Of American
typewriting machines both at home
and abroad is illustrated by the fact
that the census reports of manufac-
lures made no record Of typewriters
produced in any year prior to 1890,
when the total out-turn was recorded
at three and one-half million dollars
value; in 1900, seven millions, in 1914,
"a millions; 1919, So millions; 1921,
AZ millions, and in 1928, So million
dollars, or about the same as in the
high record manufacturing year, 1919.
The manufacture of the typewriter
began about 1875, but as above indi-
Gated no record Of out-turn was pre-
scented in the census of manufactures
prior to 1890.
Great Britain Is the largest foreign
purchaser of our typewriters, the to-
tai number of machines sent to that
country in the fiscal year ending with
June, 1924, having been 4S,136 against
27,447 to France, 1884 to Canada,
15,49O to Italy, 1881 to Australia,
7,40O to India, 1000 to China, and

That hole in tooth may cause a

II we take piece of fresh meat and

this meat been kept in cold storage,
it would still be fresh, but the warmer
temperature has caused it to putrefy,
