combined with his ability to go for
days without adding to his reservoirs
of water, putting up with the scant
food supply. closing his nostrils and
ears to the dust storms, and keeping
up a steady gait hour after hour, are
points that make him far more val
liable to man than any other animal
in the country of deserts where trans
portation by camel caravan is the only
mode of travel.
The foot of the camel has two toes
and each of them is fitted with broad
pad which seems all out of proportion
10 the size of the foot. But they spread
out when the "nimal is walking and
prevent it frc + sinking in the soft
sand.
The long neck is sort of periscope
and also enables the camel to reach
for desert growth. Looking into the
beasts mouth you can see how it is
able to chew the thorny plants.
Over the prominent eyes there are
overhanging lids that serve as avn
ings. The camel lies down in the
glaring sun as If enjoying a sun
bath.
The hump on the back is sure
indication of the physical condition
of the camel. His store of food for
long tricks and in times of shortage
is stored in the form of fat. A fine.
large hump will see its owner through
q long, tedious journey. His water
supply is taken care of in a marvellous
way, too. His stomach is divided
into cells or pockets that look some
thing like large honeycomb. When
q camel drinks water, he fills up these
containers.
As a traveller with load of 700 to
800 pounds he can keep up a pace of
IS miles day without water. He is
not gifted with intelligence, as We
find in the horse. He could not find
his way home, for he travels straight
ahead in any direction you point
his head.

Although many of us have only re-
Gently recovered from the ravages OF
last Winters record cold spell 1t Is
again time to think about the heating
plant that you hope will carry you
through next Winter.
If you had dificulty in heating some
rooms during the coldest weather, why
not call in a heating contractor now,
before he gets too busy, and you can
have whatever work that is required
done in leisurely manner and prob
ably at lower cost. Then again most

plan so that you can have the work
done now, but pay for it next Fall.
Heating and air conditioning have
been going through such important
changes during the past few years that
if you haven't been keeping up with
them you will be surprised when you
see the remarkable things which are
now available.
Small House Heating.
The ordinary small house for in
stance that formerly had To worry
along with a hit-or-miss hot-air fur
mace, or a doubtful steam or hot-water
plant, can now enjoy automatic heat
by utilizing one of the new gas boilers.
Gas rates are being lowered everywhere
and there is certainly no easier way
to heat your house than to light
pilot flame in the Fall, adjust the room
thermostat to the desired temperature
and forget it until you feel like shut
ting it down in the Spring.
If you have a very small house 1t
is possible to put in one of the new
small boilers which can be located in
the kitchen and piped to good-looking
radiators placed in different parts OF
the house. They are very efficient
little heating plants and will elimi-
nate the drudgery Of separate oil
heaters or coal stoves. Small OIL
burners are available for these heaters
if you want fully automatic system.
For those interested In obtaining
maximum comfort during cold
weather there are now available small
air conditioners which can be con-
nected into the piping system where
desired, and supply of filtered, hui
midified air will be supplied to the
house. These conditioners are COM

WAYS OF RESTORING

Advises,

Even q good thing can be over
done and modernization is not q
cure-an for every piece Of real prop
erty that has not been earning its
keep, Chester A. Moores, Portland.
Oreg., warns in advising how depres-
sion-hit properties may be restored
to a profitable basis.
Writing in the current issue of the
Journal Of Real Estate Management,
technical quarterly of the Institute
Of Real Estate Management Of the
National Association of Real Estate
Boards, Mr.. Moores. chairman of the
apartment house division of the Ma
tional Association Of Building Owners
and Managers, gives some pithy ad-
vice:
IF you have a property situated
directly In the path Of activity where
most Of the national chains and the
leading retail merchants are anxious
to locate you can well afford to go
along with the tide and modernize in
such a way as to bring :;,creasing
net returns. The same tactics will
not work successfully where the tide
Of retail activity Is going out. Along
with before and after modernization
pictures we need also before and
after arithmetic. The full before
and after story may not be told OH
cialy for years to come. It is prudent
to add to your modernization costs q
considerable sum for amortization Of
the improvement, say 10 per cent on
the average plus interest over the
period Of the amortization. Q sum

SPRAYING HELD CAUSE
OF VEGETABLE LOSSES
Pollen Washed From Flowers Pre-
vents Fertilization of Tomatoes
and Eggplant.

About Midsummer one of the most
frequent queries from home garden
ers concerns the failure of tomato,
eggplant and pepper blossoms to be-
come fertihzed and start the forma-
ton of fruit. Most inquirers describe
a condition of falling blossoms with
no subsequent development of fruit.
Significantly, most Of the inquiries
come from gardeners who have pres
sure water systems, and according to
vegetable experts of seed breeding
institute, the cause of the failure is
likely to be the method of watering
When the garden is sprayed with
hose, these experts explain, the
fine spray from the hose washes
the pollen from the flowers before
the pistils are fertilized Or. If not
entirely washed away, the pollen is
kept so moist by frequent waterings
that it does not transfer readily and
fertilization is not accomplished. The
nature of the tomato, eggplant and
pepper blossoms makes them particu-
larly susceptible to sterility from this
cause.
The remedy for such failures Is to
adopt another method of watering.
Instead of spraying the plants mois-

the air to slight extent to avoid

Circulator for Hot Water.
Rooms that have been difficult to
heat due to piping conditions can
now be kept comfortable by installing
circulator on hot-water heating
system. These devices will send a
supply Of hot water to tagging radia-
tors regardless Of the sluggishness
formerly experienced. With q circu-
lator installed it Is also possible to
enjoy the benefits Of a year-around
hot-watef supply for domestic uses.
Many Of us have gone along for
years taking it for granted that tend
ing furnace was something that
had to be done, and that anything
that would relieve that labor would
certainly be too expensive. Nowadays
it is so easy and inexpensive to have
some form Of automatic heat in
stalled that when you investigate the
matter you will wonder how you let

President canon de Valera, OF

sons prompting the United States
to refuse to have anything TO do
with the League OF Nations,
William Griffin, publisher OF the
New York Enquirer, declared to-
day following an interview with
the Irish leader. He said:
president De Valera said 1t
was unreasonable to expect
America to participate in Eu-
rOpean affairs in view of the
failure of Europe to set Its own
house in order.
"The President discussed the
war preparations Of Europe
and pointed out that the
United States is following a
policy of common sense in re-
fusing to be embrOiled in
European affairs"
Griffin quoted De Valera as
saying:
Il don't wish to say the
League has not performed use
full service, but as regards the
great things which 1t endeav-
Ored to do, it has failed in
every one of them"
Griffin continued:
"The president displayed his
usual keen interest in American
matters, particularly the pOliti-
cal conventions, and expressed
warm regard for the American
people and hope for speedy COM
pletiOn of their economic re-
cOvery.
Referring to the Anglo Irish
dispute, President de Valera
declared that once Britain
abandonS her traditional Anglo
Irish policy, the Irish people are
ready to bury the Ratchet and
show their desire for just settle
ment.
at is not our fault that re-
latiOns with Britain are not on
a more satisfactory basis the
