HONEY IN AUTO RADIATORS.

Reports by the United States Department of Agriculture of the unusual of honey in the cool ing system of motor cars attracted rather wide at tenton and led to many inquiries. The statements were based on the experience of a small number Of motorists in various parts of the country, particular ly the West
 In this region certain motorists enthus- iastic to the possibilities of this food product as means of preventing boiling as well freezing in motor cooling systems. Some of those who have used it for this purpose have reported sat- isfactory results. Most motorists however, are likely to find other material more suitable
 Tests conducted by the Bureau of Standards on the freezing point of various honey mixtures disclose that 1t takes two parts of honay to one part of water to prevent freezing at O. F. Such solutions too viscous to circulate readily at low temperatures in automobile radiators
 As pointed out in other statements by the Bureau of Entomology, the of honey in the cooling system of motor necessitates absolutely tight cylinder head gaskets. Seepage of honey into the cylinders fouls the spark plugs, produces much carbon and pollutes crank-case oil thus destroying it's lubricatng qualities
 Honey, says the department, is of the choicest and most valuable of foods and it is very doubtful if the production will ever reach such proportion to necessitate the surplus being used in auto mobile radiators.

ALASKA JUNEAU'S DISTINCTION.

In a seriously considered and well written article on gold mining appearing in the current number of the Engineering and Mining Journal, S. D. Strauss Assistant Editor again calls attention to the great work being done by the Alaska Juneau Gold Mining Company in its local property. He points out that it has to handle "A tons of rock in order to obtain one ounce of gold, the largest quantity of any gold mine in the world Its nearest competitor in that line is the Mountain Copper property in Shasta County Caf which only handles 800 tons daily as compared to Alaska Juneau, and recovers an ounce of gold from l8 tons of rock. Ashanti Mines on the African Gold Coast is at the other end of the line it's recovery averaging an ounce for every ton of mined
 It is in it's volume and low cost operations that the Alaska Juneau has won distinction It produces a tonnage of about 100000 annually, which is 25 per cent greater than its nearest competitor-Crown Mines in the Transvaa The lowest cost per ton, with everything included, is achieved by the Alaska Juneau at $627 per ton of Mountain Copper ranks second with $.8l7 per ton. Only two mines in the United States paying more than $500,0oo annually in dividends The Homestake led in 1850 with s2O09 28O and his year the Alaska Juneau will ta the second with about s600O00 On the face of showings 1ar the local companys sur plus account for 1851 will be almost twice as large as its dividend disbursements

Radio Telephone.
(Prince Rupert News,

The city is planning to arrange with the North west Telephone Company to tie up with their sys- tenn in order to give Prince Rupert long distance connection by telephone with the rest of the world
 It is proposed by the company to make Prince Rupert a center for its operations, something very much to be desired If Prince Rupert failed to cooperate some other center would be chosen. The plan of cooperation with the company costs Prince Rupert nothing and the radio telephone will not affect the lives of the majority of people here lit will be convenience to of the business people and possibly few others. but 1t will be a step forward in developing Prince Rupert as a business center The proposed rate for using it puts it out of the range of possibility for the ordinary person, for the time being at any rate Later the rates may be reduced, possibly to point where it may become more generally useful. It may be found that lower rates will bring a larger income The main thing is to get the new systems installed and started
 | Should the company secure the charter fol Alaska, it would be still valuble to Prince Rupert for it would tie up this city definitely wtf

America to See in Crandi
 Busy Man of Simple Tastes

ROME, Nov 3.-A frugal sim plicity marks Dino Grandi, Musso. linis handsome young foreign min- ister who soon is to visit Presiden. Hoover in Washington.
 Grandi smokes little, doesn't play cards, likes ham and eggs, anc drinks water instead of wine.
 His dress is simple, too but it's an elegant simplicity. He wears 2 cutaway and a silk hat with ar air to make the best Beau Brum- mel envious.
 Grandi is hard-working straightforward man with a heroi; fighting record in war and a lisi of achievements in peace that would make it unnecessary to pose if he so wished.
 He was one of the little band o1 patriots who went outside the law and annexed" Plume with d'An- nunzio. He left Bologna university at 20 when Italy entered the war soon became a second lieutenant and ended a colonel in the Alpine corps with a silver medal, bronze medal and three crosses for valor
 Back from the war with the red peril threatening hls country, com munists occupying the biggest fac tories, and politics in a bad fix Grandi fought in the streets with his squad companions of the then embryonic Fascismo.
 With pistol, knife and fist he aided in one of the biggest policing jobs any country ever has had done by self-appointed rough and ready patriots.
 Grandi enjoys good food, but eats moderately He drinks but little wine, usually only the toast at public dinners. When the min- is.cr is very busy he has lunch sent to his office. Usually he has ham and eggs, bottle of water and plenty of fruit.
 Grandi and ms young wife have two children, Franco, and Simo- netta, 4. The family lives very simple life in country home, for Grandi is not rich man.

OASES BY THE THOUSANDS.

In this great American Desert of Volsteadia the thirsty not altogether lacking sources Of renef In fact, more marked for apunoance than for scarcity This is more or less matter of common knowledge, but even the best informed on it, apt to be astonished by the figures compiled by Maj. Maurice Campbell, one-time Fed eral Prohibition Administrator for the New York district. Since he resgned from the service o1 the Dry Bureau he has become editor of a magazine Repeal published in New York City, and, as its name would indicate is devoted to the cause of re- p.aling the Eighteenth Amendnlent
 Mai. Campbell placed the number of speakeases operating in the United States, not including AL aska Hawaii and other outlying parts of the country, at 222225. New York State leads the list with 42OO0 Illinois is second with 10000 and Pennsylvania third with 2o,00O. California the home of wine grape juice and wine bricks, has 15OOo. Three more--Massachusets. Michigan and New Jersey are credited with 10000 each. In the Dis trict of Columbia within the shadow cast by the buildings housing agencies for eradicating oases there are 5O0 Arizona has 75o Colorado 1500, Con- necticut 5000, Delaware 250 Idaho 500 Indiana 2500 Iowa $500, Kansas, 1000, Louisiana 5000 Maine 1000, Maryland 5000, Minnesota 2,000, Mis sour 5000, Montana 5000 Nebraska 1900, New Hampshire 1000, New Mexico 750, the two Dakota! 1000 Ohio 5000, Oklahoma 20OO Oregon 5000 Nevada 50O Rhode Island 2,O00, Texas $500, Utaf 750, Vermont 750 Virginia 1000 Washington 4,0OO West Virginia l5OO, Wisconsin 7,5oo, and Wyomint 500.
 Alabama Florida. Georgia Mississippi, North ant South Carolina, Tennessee, Arkansas and Kentuck. together have a 2,500. This. however, doesn' mean that the supply is limited Outside of Nev Orleans, where everything is wide open," said Mai Campbell there fewer speakeasies than il any part of the country. This is because of tn popularity of "cawn likker" which is distributed direct by the bootleggers for home consumption.

HOTEL REQUIRED FOR CABINET OF
 HUGE RADIO SET
Four Tuning Units Requir- ed with Racks of
 Amplifiers

NEW YORK.-How would you like to run a radio receiver so mas sive that it requires the space of large hotel as a cabinet?
 Eli M. Lourie, young engineer does and gets a tremendous kick out of his job. So enthusiastic does he become sometimes that he forgets to sleep, particularly when he gets lost in some problem.
 This particular radio receive, really is in two sections, one close to the roof of the Hotel New York CT and the other on lower floor. The roof apparatus is the radio re- ceiving equipment while the other is the heart of public address system.
 Wires lead from the two radio rooms to loudspeakers in sleeping rooms, ball rooms, reception rooms and about every place in the build ing at which it is desired to pipe music, coming over the air or or iginating in the hotel itself.
 Four Tuning Units
 The main receiver looks more like broadcast tranSmitter than a ra- dio set.
 In addition to four tuning units it contains several racks of ampli- fiers using 250 tubes in pushpull parallel so designed that the ad- dition or subtraction of half of the speakers in the building woulc have no effect on the volume level.
 The intricate wiring provides that microphones may be cut in at var ious points in the hotel as well as the radio room itself so that enter tainment or speeches may be car ried from many points in the building.
 The master recelver-really four of them-will handle four radio programs at once, switch being provided at each speaker for se- lection.
 Operates a Magic Box
 Besides running these twin-out- fits. Young Lourie often is seen hurrying through the hotel with a so-called magic box. It contains a dial and series of buttons In addition to a cable attached to a plug with a half dozen or more prongs.
 He goes to the ball room and hurries over to wall receptacle He makes nasty connection and starts operating the controls on the oox. Suddenly music from a radio station fills the room. His box is a remote control device that oper- ates a separate receiver installed in a desk in the roof radio room.

REFRIGERATION
ADS AID GOAL

The electric refrigeration bu-
reau of the National Electric
Light Association has set goal
for the sale of 100000 electric
refrigeratorS during 1882, and has
appropriated a sum exceeding
100000 for national advertising
in full-page and double-page space
in five monthly and weekly maga-
zines.
The expense for the campaign
is being betrayed by the leading
manufacturers of electric refrig-
orators.
In addition to this primary
item for national advertising,
quotas have been set calling for
the expenditure of approximately
$2,5O0,000 in local advertising
through local bureaus and utility
companies. the contribution of
the latter being based upon a
quota figure of 10 cents a domes-
tic meter.
This is exclusive of any expendi
lures by local distributors n d
dealers, which expenditures, in
addition to the national advertis.
ing appropriations of the indi-
vidual manufacturers, will bring
the grand total for the years
campaign to approximately $18,-

Prospects Too 7roublous
For Risks, Says Haney

again. Demand deposits are
down to where they stood be-
tween July and August, 1924.
This is good evidence that infla-
ton has not yet begun to take
hold of banking.
In fact, the National Credit
Corporation has been a "dud" in
this respect. Fortunately, it has
done practically nothing in the
way of freezing bank credit.
New Credit Danger
But we can see some warning
that initiation is still a dan
gerous possibility. The issues OF
Federal Reserve notes continue to
increase. Hoarding has shown
no appreciable decrease.
Now comes renewed talk OF a
great finance corporation to
pump Government credit into
business.
If our Government were out Of
debt and had balanced budget,
such a corporation might not
mean a dangerous initiation. AS
it is, however, it would certainly
near just that.
Fluctuations Violent
The stock market hangs be-
tween a short covering movement
and cleanup period Of hqui-
dation. Bank credit hangs be-
tween liquidation pressure and
inflationary forces.
The financial barometer is
fIuctuating violently. This Is no
time for the little boat to start
on a voyage.

This is a critical time in finan-
cial and stock market affairs. The
question is, can liquidation be
checked here, or will it be neces-
sary to allow things to be cleaned
up further.
In the stock market an effort
has been under way in the last
two or three days to support prices
and to take them up through GER
tain levels at which. good deal
of stock is for sale.
Strengthening Banks
Meanwhile, banking figures for
the country show continued de-
flation and liquidation. This may
seem discouraging to those who
had hoped for some expansion in
business at this time.
But it is really putting the banks
i'm the way of getting into a
sOunder position eventually.
The total amount Of credit ex-
tended by the Reserve Banks de-
clined again last week. Their
holdings of bills" and Govern
ment securities were both reduced.
This took some money out Of the
market.
Borrowings Larger
On the other hand, the borrow
ings of the member banks in
creased, and are now quite large.
That tends to tighten the money
market.
