DON CARLOS JAMES APPEARS
BEFORE SCIENTIFIC SOCIETY

Education and Agriculture in the
Orient" was a subject most ably
handled by Don Carlos James, before
the Scientific and Historical society
here last Thursday evening. Our
readers have from time to time en-
joyed the splendid descriptive letters
and articles by Mr.. James, which
have been published in this paper.
AS a speaker he is equally fluent,
and eloquent, with the same vivid
power of description and clearness of
expression.
The three countries he dwelt upon
were Japan, China and India. TAX
ing up Japan he stated the popula-
ton was, according to the last CEN
sus, about 57,500,000; the area
about $50, 900 square miles-but
little larger than our state of Mon
tana. The country is divided into
four principal islands-Hondo, Kiu-
shu, Shikoku and Yezo The in
habitants are Industrious large
percent OIL the WOIU0U WOFk on the
farms. There are many tradesmen,
and those employed in the Industrial
arts. The country is badly crowded
the average sized farm being only
two and half acres. Forestry is
practiced, so the future timber
question will take care of itself. In
the matter of education, Mr.. James
says the Japanese are a wonder He

empire since Commodore Perry first
opened up the ports in 1853. The

There's a mothers deep prayer
And Daby's low cry.
And the star rains its fire while the beau

THERE'S 8 tumult of Joy

Automobiles are more of a source
of safety promotion than of danger,
according to Capt. Harry NJ. Horton,
local automobile dealer, who has
given great deal Of time and
thought to safety work in connec-
tion with motoring.
I'VE hear lot about the problems
created by the automobile" says
| Horton, but very little about what
the automobile is doing to mako the
streets safer. 1t is true that the au-
tomobile, in the hands of the incom-
petent, can be and often is an in
strument Of danger, but in summing
up the automobiles contribution to
the safety of the American people
it is necessary to consider its effect
as a whole.
Much thuggery and crime is ia
cilitated by the use of the motor car,
but it is insignificant in comparison
with the amount Of crime prevented
or minimized by means of the motor
car. Many a midnight joyrider has
scared away the safe blower.
Auto as Crime Preventive.
1--WE never hear of instances where
the automobile has served to pre-
vent the crime. What is it but the
automobile that brings the police to
your door in short order when you
phone for help? The police officer
is frequently assisted in his work by
means of a lift granted by the pass
ing motorist at the psychological
moment.
Every automobile in tho country
| Is being used to some extent for the
| development Of safety and one does
not have to look to the doctors and
| the police for instances. The num-
| Der of fires that have been discover
ed by passing motorists and the loss
of life and property prevented as a
! consequence. would make an excel
| lent comparison with the number of
! persons who have been killed as a
! result of unwise use Of the auto
mobile.

during epidemics has been demon

preventing the spread of contagious
diseases, while the prevalence of the

where habitation is slight, together
with its numerical prominence. has
enabled its owners to save the lives
Of many campers who, under any
other conditions, would have no
ready means of reaching the nearest
town or city quickly.
Save Many Lives.
Those who are so pessimisti,:
about the automobile in its relation
to safety never consider the number
of children who have been saved
from drowning in ponds and streams
as result of the number of people
travelling nearby road by motor
car Motorists go everywhere and, in

MILLIONS SALvAGED
IN YEAR BY FORD
Nothing Too Small or Too Large
for Attention of
Squad.

The general salvage department.
all that the name implies. working
steadily behind the scenes at the Ford
plants, presents to the Industrial
world a new picture of the meaning
of economy.
The salvage squad collects. repairs
or remakes and disposes of materials
which are valued by the Ford Motor
Company at nearly a million dollars
month, according To IL report of sal
wage operations just made public.
Nothing is too small and nothing too
large for the salvage department. 1t
takes anything from broken mop
pals to an entire factory building.
To begin with, the squad itself is
salvage. Four hundred and seventeen
men. nearly all of them in i'll health.
crippled or tubercular, carry on this
reclamation work. These recruits
have come from all parts of the plant.
Many of those assigned to the salvage
work as result of i'll health have
been completely restored, but aro
kept at their jobs in the open to pre-
vent relapSeS.
Some intimation of the size Of the
reclamation work is seen in the de-
partment's report. stating that 392
tons of steel trimmings are disposed
of every day. 1870 tons of baled steel
stamping waste-and 153 tons OF
cast iron borings gathered up to be
turned back into disable material.
other smaller items of the daily
cleanup includes gig tons of waste
from to tons of baled tin, hoops
and wire, and 8 tons of miscellaneous
material, including broken tools.
ReclnimfnE Silver.
Metallic silver, valued at $1,000, is
reclaimed by the salvage department
every year from the Photographic
laboratories. The precious metal is
refined from the silver nitrate that
collects in the hypovats in develop
ing motion picture reels. When the
hypo becomes too weak to be of fur-
ther use. the salvage squad adds So
dunn sulphate TO the solution in the
watts precipitating the silver nitrate
into muddy sediment. The watts are
then drained. the precipitate IS SHOW
eied out. baked into cakes and ship
ped to refiners who complete the proc
ess of reducing the pure silver
The daily reclamation of 1000 gall
Ions of oil is made from twenty tons
of steel turningS run through cen
trfugal wringers. The oil from the
wringers is then cleansed of sr;t and
matter in automatic stills, and
returned to the factory to be used
again.
Loss Of Towels.
Large quantities of nuts. bolts, cot
Ter Dins etc, are removed every day
from the three tons of factory sweep
ings and replaced in stock. Combing
of the sweepings for salvage has in
cidentally ended the loss of from 800
to 500 towels per day.
Repairs to broken tools. including
any and every appliance from a pair
of forceps from the dental clinic to a
drill press on the shop floor, save
nearly 500 day. Over 81 900 worth
Of betting is reclaimed for its original
