Use of Stainless Steel.

Stainless steel is coming more into
use year by year as new uses for it
are found. To become stainless, steel
must first be hardened and tempered
to give tensile strength of not less
than forty-five tons per square inch.

THOSE NEGLECTED. HEADLIGHTS

Would you drive your car 20 to 80
miles an hour blindfolded?
Of course you would not and yet
that is what people do in effect when
they dim their headlights when pass
ing each other on the highway.
Everyone knows that bright lights
shining in the eye blind a person and
cause accidents.
Not SO many people know that sud-
denly dimming the headlights on pass
ing another car also blinds the driver
and that this procedure causes just
as many highway accidents as glazing
lights.
What person has not been partially
blinded for few moments when step
ping from a brightly lighted room to
dark cellar stairway?
The effect is the same when you
suddenly dim your headlights. To be
sure both drivers stop the glare but
they also rob themselves of the light
necessary to see. If memory of what
he saw just before dimming were not
helpful factor to the driver, the
number of night accidents due to dim
ming would be appalling.
For this reason the Wisconsin law
forbids dimming your headlights and
the Secretary of State so advises
every motorist when he sends the
license plates.
But this does not mean that you
may cause binding glare. You are re-
quired to have light on the road
which is so good that you can see a
dark object 200 feet ahead of your car
and at the same time not blind the
other driver.
Such light, when the lights are not
dimmed, will throw direct beam
down the road at least 200 feet but
no part of the beam will rise above
the level of the headlights and hence
will not glare the other driver.
Remember that the light which
blinds the other fellow does you no
good either, because it never hits the
road bed Hence when your lights are
glazing you are wasting light.
A few simple adjustments, just a
simple as the ones you make on your
radio, will give you light which is
not only legal and safe but actually is
better.
Therefore, for selfish reasons, if

Failure to Vote Harmful

One Of the recognized difficulties in
this country is to get all the good
citizens to go to the polls. 1t has been
established that very large numbers
Of potential voters fail In each election
to go to the polls.
Doctor Tigert, in his address before
the American National council in New
York made the following significant
statement in this connection: II doubt
IL a weak or undesirable public official
has ever been elected by larger ma
jority than the number Of good citi-
zens who failed to vote In the election.
/ agree with the statement | heard a
public speaker make the other day,
when he said that he had ten times
as much respect for the man who voted
ten times as he did for the man who
did not vote at all.
Instances were cited by Doctor
Mann where grating politicians were
abe to continue in power because
only 81 per cent of the voters turned
out to take part in an election. These
same grating politicians were. cast
out. he said, when only SO per cent of
the voters went to the polls after con-
ditions had become such that they
were goaded into fulfilling their duty
as citizens.

Fan Helps Burn Coal

Fuel experts for several years past
have been preaching the use OF smaller
sizes Of anthracite coal such as pea
and buckwheat, for household use.
They state that these sizes of coal
have nearly the same amount of heat
producing units per ton as the larger
sizes and point out that they are ma
terially lower in price. Some people
find that the smaller coal burns ad-
mIrably in their furnaces except on
occasional heavy damp days. Then,
furnace stocked with small-sized coal
simply will not burn brightly enough
TO produce the desired heat. On such
days an electric fan will come to the
rescue. Open the ash-pit door, set the
electric fan directly in front of 1t.
Then connect 1t to one Of the con-
yenience outlets in the cellar and turn
on the fan. With the added draft pro-
vided by the fan the small-sized coal
will burn just as IL the weather con-
ditions were normal.

Points Out Efficiency
of City Manager Plan

When politics becomes oppressive,
institute city manager government.
That Is the suggestion put forth in
Kansas City by w. S. Ferguson, direc-
tor of public service for Cleveland,
now under the city manager form Of
government Mr.. Ferguson is on q
short vacation.
Civic affairs have been freed Of
political chains and men who have
been successful in business are at the
helm, Mr. Ferguson declared
The nucleus Of the government is
w. r. Hopkins, city manager, and five
department directors besides Mr.. Fer
guson.
Mr.. Ferguson, who is an architect
and engineer, never has been in poll
tics, and Mr.. Hopkins forgot big com
mercial ventures when the council Sc
lected him for the city's head.
The council also elected a mayor.
He receives $500 year, the manager
$4,000 and the department heads
$500. Cleveland is the largest city
with city manager government, Mr..
Ferguson said.
''Mr. Hopkins and his directors have
obtained the cooperation Of the coun-
Gil Of twenty-six elected members and
Of the people because we are not in
terested in politics" Mr.. Ferguson said.
"City officials are giving Cleveland
more service because they choose
workers according to ability rather
than political qualifications OF course,
you can't cut out politics entirely in
a city where 1t has reigned for years"
Mr.. Ferguson told Of Cleveland's gar
bage reducing plant, where 800 tons
were being handled a day at no loss.
The process is one of reduction to
grease, fertilizer and gasoline, which
are sold. Plans have been completed
for new $1,OOO,O0O plant, which will
be erected within year and is ex-
pected to produce revenue.
1.-THE best plan Of garbage disposal,
Mr.. Ferguson said, lis for the city to
dispose Of it's own garbage in plant
properly equipped and managed.
Proper management is the first essen
tial and that 1t what appeals to Cleve-

CORN PLANTING {.
 IS WELL BEGUN
Preparation Of Cotton Land Advances In North
 Section Of Belt

WASHINGTON, April 16.-Crop and weather conditions in southern states during the week ended yester- day were summarized today by the department of agriculture as follows: Corn planting made fairly good prog ress in southern states, and was begun during the week northward to North Carolina, southern Missouri and sodth- ern Kansas. Better weather prevailed for germination of this crop in the south and it was coming up generally to good stand. s
 Preparation of cotton land advanced actively in the northern portion of the belt, but rains caused interference in some central and eastern districts. Planting was begun at scattered places in southern Oklahoma, and some cot ton was planted in most sections of Arkansas and in parts of Tennessee. It was too cold for the best germina- tion of cotton in Louisiana, while rain fall was rather unfavorable in parts of the southeast. Early planted cotton in Texas shows only fair stands, and the general condition of the crop ranges from poor to fair.
 While gardening is still late, con- siderable early garden crops were plant ed in the central section of the coun- try, while truck and gardens did well generally in the southern states, all though rain on several days was un- favorable on lowlands of the Florida peninsula.
 Alabama Fairly good progress in planting cotton in south; coming up and planting beginning in Shelby and Tuscaloosa counties. Corn planting progressed slowly: coming up to good stands in south. Truck and late plant ed oats mostly doing welL Pastures generally improved and fruits doing well where they stood the winter cold. Additional satsuma trees begin bud ding.

Japanese Issues Alone
 Weak In Face Of Ris- '.ss ing Market

NEW YORK. April 16.-Continued heavy selling of Japanese government E6h bonds which established new low price at 901s failed to depress the bond market today and prices of other domestic liens turned upward.
 Liquidation inspired by uneasiness over the political situation and dis solution; of the syndicate was reflected in the initial sale of $274,000 block of the Japanese bonds at 91. Subse- quent offerings drove the price down to 90A before resistance was en- countered. The closing price of 905s represented a net loss of 3s.'
 Weakness of Japanese issues was offset in the foreign list by strength of French municipals and Serbian eights, which touched new 1924 high at 7S. .
 The remarkable recovery staged by Wilson and Company obligations after reports of receivership were denied was given French impetus today Nby the rise of the convertibles 51as to q high level of 7Sk, gain of almost 20 points within two dyas. Under the leadership of sugar company liens which advanced 1 to 3 points, numer- ous industrial issues moved higher to- day and the demand for public util- ity mortgages widened. United States treasury 4Hs reached a record high level of.101 4-32. The improved market tone manifested today, it was felt in bond circles, was the forerunner of bet ter investment business which would be helped by the diversion of funds due to current trade dullness.

STOCK LETTERS

NEW YORK, April 16,--A little further progress toward higher prices was made in stocks today. principally at the expense of the short interest. Transactions were light and outside participation swas at the usual low ebb. The buying in United States Steel was said to be of good char acter, and in spite of rumors to the con- trary, the extra dividend of 50 cents Is expected in most quarters when the direc
 tors meet, April 29, for dividend action. The annual meeting is scheduled for April 21 Corn Products, both old and new stock, were featured by rise in sponse to a published estimate of earn ings for the first quarter. equaling about $4 on the old stock. Cast Iron Pipe was conspicuous, advancing about { points. Final prices eased off little from the highs. Sentiment in most places still is bearish. but the feeling prevails that there is too much competition on the short side for the present. Total sales, 676.40O shares.-Fenner Beane, to Kahn & Virgin.
