Furnace Goes to College

The tie-up between business and
higher education grows closer eV-
ery day. The old ideal of college
professor as an aesthetic gentleman
in u frock coat lecturing to respect
full students is. fading out and the
new type of college instructor is
taking his place in the picture. Now
adays we hear as much about what
the colleges are doing for business
as what they do for education.
From Yale, for example, comes
the news that oil burners are being
studied at Sheffield Scientific School.
A room in the famous Mason Labor
atories has been equipped with sew
eral different types of burners and
boilers which are operated under
different conditions to discover new
ways of saving fuel. By switching
the burners from one boiler to an
other and operating them at their
maximum and minimum capacities,
the experimenters are able to get a
series of different tests from which
they expect to learn whether any
particular type burner is more suit
ed to certain boiler than ether
types.
The research is in charge of Pro-
fessor L. E. Seeley and it is being

 I fingered only for a low-toncJ word with. Purnell.

 "Yes'm. that's what he said" Purncll replied, and the manager said I wasn't 10 stir from here till Mr Underwood came out"
 Then VIC need feel no anxiety" I told him, and the man grinned widely as l turned and walked swiftly toward the door of the hotel with Mary close beside me. Lillian's Dilemma

 There was an effort 10 play ths game of pinning the tail on the donkey, but the children got rest less before there had been even one turn around. Billy himself got into a fight with two of his guests who wanted to play with his birthday presents.
 By the time refreshments were over he was in such state of ner- vous tension that he alternated be- tween acting silly to hold the cen- ter of the stage and bullying the children who had come to play with him. When the last child had gone Billy had reached a con- dition of exhaustion, which made it necessary to give him a warm bath and put him at once to bed.

Finding a Good Doctor

 What of the new doctor? After all it is q simple matter to go to the corner grocer and say, Give me a loaf of bread" One cant uo the same, however, with the physi- elan. So the Jones family waits until some emergency arises, then the nearest doctor is called Tn. Sometimes he suits the family; just a5 often he does not.
 What is Jones to do?
 The answer is simple. If Jones had a family physician in the old town or place before moving ne should asl, the doctor to refer him to a physician located in the newer district. But if Jones had no physi- cannot be referred to one, then he should go about finding one fo1 himself before emergencies arise. How is that to be done? Perhaps before answering that we ought tc consider the meaning of a good doc tor. Medicine, it is agreed, is as much of an art as q science. AnG most of the art element resides ir the personal relation between doc tor and patient, and vice versa. Now there are certain persons 1 Who ar! sympathetic to us. au certain others who are antipathc | It. follows that our rCaCtIo to dtf- i ."rcnt physicians will vary. and the more syi lpathotic the pcrsonaHtt ! ! of-thc physician the better the :c. 1 lItionship.

Harry Takes Unusual Precautions
 in Guarding the Car While Lil-
 Han Prepares for the Journey 10
 the Catskills.
 I was thankful for my war secret service training as Harry Under- wood gave me the muttered direc- tion to pipe the driver Of that black coupe, adding that he would tell me why later" l knew from his excessive caution that he was anxious no hint of his admonition should reach the ears of his wife, already at high nervous tension over the possible race with death which we were making to Robert Sayarins home in the Catsksil Mountains: and I remained immo- bile as I listened to his injuction.
 I pretended to stumble as reached the ground, and catching lis arm gave him an old-time sig nal that I had caught his warning. The next instant he had gone to the other side to help Lillian down, Mary had jumped lightly to the ground almost before the car had stopped, and I was thankful thnt she was beside me, rummaging in the tonneau for her bag, because her action screened me in the fur tive scrutiny I was giving the rnt.l Mir. Underwood had pointed out.
 He was man heavily built, with brown hair strcaked with gray showing beneath his cloth cap. An ulster, heavy but distinctly not new covered him, but as he ahght 21 from the car, q look at his shoes, with a quick summing up of his way of standing. and his method ot using his eyes in looking at his suf- rcundings clicked him at once in a certain compartment of my mental file. Private detcctiFe' was Writtan all over him, and l knew what Harry Underwood wished of me. He did not need my confirmation Of what his own keen perceptions and experience must have recognized &t once, but he did wish me to impress upon my memory which he is pleased to call 'uncanny," every de- tail of the appearance of both the man and the car he was driving.
 With q fussy pretense of rear ranging the lunch box, which we had not as yet touched. l kept Mary with me as a smoke screen while stenciled the mans photograpr upon my memory. Harry had taker Lillian directly to the door of the hotel, and by the time l had cor pleted my mental catalogulng Of the man opposite, Purncll, suavc ar smiling as ever, appeared from th' door of the hotel.

But Mir Underwood says you are only to h' here few minutes. He told me tt lcck the car and keep an eye on 1t and asked if you two ladies woul, not come directly upstairs to ht suite.'

Curiosity is a most provoking thing. It will not let you forget when you want to forget. Peter Rabbit never went over to the Green Forest that he didn't remcm- Der that Whitefoot the Wool Mouse had told him about his Win ter home. Just the sight of the edge of the Green Forest would remind Peter of Whltcfoots secret and iGi- mcdiatcly arouse Peters curiosity. He wasted a lot of time hunti.is for that home of Whitcfoots. Somc- times he saw Whitcfoot, but moro often he didn't. When he did sc2 Whitefoot it was always near the place where he had met Whitefoot when the latter had told him about that home.
 Now, many pairs of eyes arc bet ter than just one pair. At least, that is what Peter Rabbit thought. If l can't find Whltefoot's home myself, perhaps some one else Can,' said he. "Thc thing to do is 10 ask ques tions."
 The first one Peter asked was his cousin, Jumper the Hare, who live it the Green Forest. Cousin Jumper" said Peter, do you hap pen to know where Whitcfoot th& Wood Mouse is living this Wintor!'
 Jumper scratched q. long ear with {. long hindfoot. No, I don't, Pa- ter." said he. Now you mention this matter, it occurs to mo that l haven't seen Whitefoot all winter. ]! do hope nothing has happened 10 him. 1 am rather fond of the ltl.- fellow"
 "I can set your mind al rest cn that score" said Peter. ''Nothips has hapepncd to him. Anyway. noih- ing had hapepned to him up 10 Ii few nights ago, for saw him then, He was on the very edge of tile Green Forest
 "That explains it, said Jumper 'I seldom go over to the edge ni the Green Forest. It must be that hs has moved over there"
 DO you think so?' cried Pct"r T hadn't thought of that. l have always thought Of Whitefoot as liV. ing in the Green Forest, so l sup. posed he had simply wandered { long way from home"
 You may be certain he hast done that" replied Jumper, White loot never wanders very far iron lis home. You may be sure that t home is not a great way from wher you saw him. I am glad 10 kno@ that he is alive and all right,
 "Oh, he was very much alive aHt quite all right when l last saN him." said Peter. He was lookln.
