MATURING

CWEET potatoes q fun week

and other produce at unusually
early dates, were grown on Cali
fornia farm with the aid of a
hotbed that kept the plants warm
by electricity, says Popular Me-
chanics Magazine. The bed was
supplied with heat through some
1000 feet of resistance wires, ar
ranged in parallel strands about
an inch above the surface. A
heavy canvas cover was rolled
over the top of the bed when the
artificial heat was used. During
the season when the young plants
were maturing and night tempera-
lures fell below 40 degrees or so,
the current was turned on to raise
the heat of the bed about Is de-
grees above that of the outside
air. The early yields enabled the
grower to compete with products
shipped in from Southern points
and enjoy the high prices Of the
early season.

Giles Refuses to Risk

Detroit Big Business

SAN FRANCISCO, Calf, Dec. 6.
Captain Frederick A. Giles refuses
to risk his life, in a foolhardy flight
from San Francisco to New Zealand.
merely to do some advertising for the
Detroit Chamber of Commerce.
Giles attempted this flight once be-
fore, but returned because he said he
ran into storm, which according to
weather authorities, did not exist.
However, authorities agree that an
air trip at this time of year would
mean suicide to the pilot.
Values Life Over Business.
w. H. Rosewarne of Detroit, back
er of the venture, reprimanded Giles
for rating his life as more valuable
than the advertising of Detroit bust
ness, and ordered him to try again.
The pilot declares, however, that
he "is through" and will take "a
long rest"
Giles st a tie d that Rosewarne,
hacker of the flight, would probably
advocate continuance of the flight
with another pilot, regardless of the
fatal risk involved.
