Preventing Snow from Sticking

use a ,ne,a' shovel for scooping snow
as the snow has tendency to stick
to it. This trouble can easily be pre-
vented by first cleaning the shovel
/, that it is absolutely free from dirt,
heating the metal part, and then COW
er'ne II well with melted paraffin or
wax. Ehen the paraffin is cold, the
shovel can be used, and it will be
found that the snow will not stick.
OF course, this will last only as long
as there il; film OF wax on the shovel,
but it is surprising how long it takes
before this finn is worn off. Wooden
shove!s may be treated with grease OF

Silencing Automobile Door

Squeaking automobile doors can
sometimes be silenced by cleaning the
rubber bumpers and the parts they
touch with gasoline, wiping dry and
powdering literally with tale dust.
Oil should never be used as it ruins
the rubber. If the door rattles, see if
the rubbers are pressing against the
door. If not, readjust them with the
setscrew, or by forcing small pieces of
inner tube under them with a screw
driver. New bumpers may be needed.
A few minutes attention now and
then wv eliminate the annoyance. !,

WHEAT RISES,

Profit Taking Forces Down
Price After Big Jump

Chicago, Jan. 27.--Wheat quickly
assembled today to $1.9s a bushel for
May delivery, a new high record,
but heavy profit-taking soon led to
a downturn which went we'll below
yesterdays finish. The rise was
largely due to advices that Hungary,
usually an exporting country, had
made big purchases Of wheat in Ar
gentina. Liberal buying of wheat
in the United States for immediate
shipment to Europe was also said to
be in prospect. Opening prices
which ranged from l q cents decline
to lss cents advance, with May $1.97
n to ,$l.98, and July $1.7OA to
$1.71 were followed by sharp gen.
eral setback which carried May
down to $l.96.
Subsequently with buying on a big
scale here and with good export bus
mess at the seaport, the market
jumped from $1.91A on May, a gain
Of l and u cent over today's earlier
price record. The close was unset
tied at range varying from 1ssc
to 2%c net advance, with May at
$l.9l Is to $1.91A and July at $1.871a.

Revolt In The Air.

Disguised and sickened by the med
dlesome tactics of self constituted re-
formers and uplifters, an increasing
number of citizens of this great coun-
try are getting cooked and primed for
genuine revolt against a lot of
foolishness which is being practiced
under the guise of reform.
Every dyspeptic individual who has
lost all zest for life wants to make it
impossible for his fellow men to en-
joy even the most harmless forms of
amusement, excepting under such reg
ulations as may be prescribed by the
busybodies.
Another class would. stifle free
thought and speech; many even try
to injure a fellow citizen in his BUSH
ness because he does not subscribe to
the same creed as that professed by
certain self-appointed guardians of
religion and morals.
From one angle or another, practi-
cally every security vouchsafed to an
American citizen by the Bill! of Rights
is being attacked. It is time to call
a halt to this petty tyranny of fan
atical minority and assert our tradi-
tional rights to life, liberty and the
pursuit Of happiness.-Heron Lake

A New Use for X-Rays.

How X-rays are being used to re-
duce danger in power plants by the
detection of hidden flaws in pipes
and other castings, was explained re-
Gently to the American Society OF
Mechanical Engineers in Milwaukee
by l. E Moultrop and E. w. Norris,
OF Boston, Mass.
The engineers were told of the use
of powerful X-ray tubes, using and
electrical current of 100000 voults,
so that photographs could be made
through four inches of steel. In
such photographs concealed defects
which previously could have been de-
tected only by cutting the casting in
to sections, are clearly revealed with
out damage to the part. In recent
power plant installation at Boston,
it was said 80 casting intended for
part of high pressure steam system
were examined and as a result five
were found to have flaws and reject
ed. Formerly, these would have been
used and serious damage might have
resulted from their failure.
Defects in forgings too large to find
by the X-ray methods were discussed
by j. Fletcher Harper, of Milwaukee,
who described a form of periscope
used to examine the interior of long
narrow holes bored in shafts.-Science

When Young People Have Made

In Japan there are many simple and
sweet customs. The Japanese are a
nation Of lovers Of romance and SYM
bOlism. Simplicity of thought and del
icacy of feeding add to the charm and
beauty Of their many truly artistic
customs.
Even in love affairs and i'm court
ships this same sweet simplicity Is
observed. The thought is not lost
in compiicating realities and expense.
The young man does not have
to save up so he can perhaps spend
more money than he should to give
his fiancee an engagement ring, be-
cause in Japan they do not wear en-
gagement rings.
Instead, after girl has promised
to marry the man Of her choice he
proudly goes to the best shop where
the finest silks are sold. Here, with
great care, he selects a beautiful piece
Of silk and carries it lovingly to the
girl of his heart.
With this silk the newly engaged
girl makes sash and wears 1t tri.

CAREER MARRIED By READING
emn Warning Against the Pe-ils
Of Literature.

At an early age Mark Twain was
s0lemnly warned against the dangers
Of reading. AS boy-so we learn
from the diary of Mrs. James T.
Fields, which the Atlantic Monthly
prints-one of the first stories that
he acquired after he had begun his
apprenticeship on Mississippi river
steamboat was the Fortunes Of Nigel.
He hid himself with it behind bar
rel, where the master Of the boat
found him and read him q lecture on
the ruinOus effect Of his act. Tive
seen it over and over ag'in," he de-
clared. "You needn't tell me any
thin about it; if ye're going to be a
pilot on this river yer needn't ever
think Of reading. for it just spiles all
Yer can't remember how high the tides
were in Cans gut three trips before
the last now, I'll wager"
"Why, no." replied Mark, chat was
six months ago."
Il don't care If twas" said the man.
IF you hadn'h been spiling yer mind
by readin', ye'd have remembered"
So the boy was never permitted to
read after that. "And," Mark once
observed, mot being able to have it
when I was hungry for it, I can only
read the encyclopedia nowadays"
But, adds Mrs. Fields, that is not
true; he reads everything YOUTHS

GOLD LURED MANY TO DEATH
-" Literally Strewn With Bones
Of Unfortunates.

"The days of oil, the days of gold,
the days Of 49," marked the most pic
turesque gold rush in history. On the
heels of Marshall's discovery, follow
ing Suffers lead, excitement became
intense and gold in California was the
ruling topic everywhere. BY January.
1849, 80 vessels carrying 5000 passen-
gers sailed from various ports for San
Francisco and 20 more were ready.
During the year $40 vessels entered
port carrying $4,000 passengers and
1900 immigrants arrived overland.
In few months the population of
San Francisco climbed from 1900 to
14,0OO and that-year the first Pacific
mail steamer passed through the Gold
en- gate. Four hundred sailing vessels
were abandoned in the harbOr while
their owners and crews joined in the
mad rush to the gold fields. Labor
jumped to $40 day and was scarce
at that figure.
Between the spring Of that year and
che autumn of 1850, it is estimated
that about million people-men,
women and children-left the Eastern
states bound for the new Eldorado.
But of this vast army thousands died
Of hunger and thirst amid the burning
alkali deserts of New Mexico and Ari-
IONA thousands more lost their way
and persisted miserably in the gloomy
canyons and intricate Businesses Of
the Rocky mountains, multitudes fell
victims to the tOmahawk and scalping
knife of the Apaches, the raids of the
Sioux and the opposition of the Nor
mon elders, who. resenting the intru-
sion of the gold seekers, sought to
stem the tide by force.

ClothierS-

"lewd love" and the resulting death
gave the moralists grand chance.
In DR.. Hotson's book on the death
Of Marlowe there is given to the
world the report of the coroner's
jury that acquitted Marlowe. The
fight was about who should pay the
tavern bill. The moral must be
changed, perhaps into argument for
prohibition.
We can see what we look for. In
GAS You Like It" there is a recog-
nized reference to Marlowe in which
one of his own lines is quoted:
"Who ever loved that loved not
at first sight ?"
But now another reference be-
comes ineligible that Shakespeare
makes in the same play to HRS
friends death: 'It strikes a man
more dead than great reckoning in
little room" MarIowe himself
wrote the line Infinite riches in q
little ROOM" and he had been killed
over reckoning in a little room,
when Shakespeare wrote "As You
Like It"
So three centuries go by and new
truth comes out about the death of
one man.-San Francisco Examiner.

lifts Mired Motortrucks.

For lifting mOtOrtrucks out Of mud
sand or snow, in which they may be
stranded, portable attachment, shown
in Popular Mechanics Magazine, for
connection to a mired wheel, is in the
form Of wooden fodr-sided block, in
length about half the width Of the
truck. About the middle Of this block
is an eyebolt through which a chain
having a hook at one end Is passed
The chain is long enough to encircle
the rim of the wheel, against which il
is made tight by slipping the hook into
the link Of the chain. A tubular ex
tension at the end Of the block is sc
made that, when two blocks are placed
on opposite wheels, they will telescope
together. The truck is lifted by the
blocks when the wheels are rotated
