Care Urged In Burning Brush

While cleanup operations on the
farm are commendable, burning
fence rows is hazardous unless ade-
quate precautions are taken. Grass
and brush areas afford food and cover
for many of Jul smaller game birds
and animals, notes l.. A. Carter, of
the Michigan state college forestry
department. Careless use of fire de-
stroys their cover completely and
they are forced to find food and
shelter elsewhere. Before burning is
done, a firebreak should be freshly
made or plowed around the area to be
burned. 1t should be at least ten feet
wide. Burning should be done after
400 P. M. on calm days only. Rakes,
shovels, and water should be handy
in case they are needed.

Apple, Grown for Juice,
May Return to richard

Increasing popularity of apple juice
may call for the return of the drink
ing apple to u. S. orchards, says F.
c. Bradford, U. S. department of ag-
riculture horticulturist.
The drinking or beverage apple for
making cider has been widely cult
waited in France and England since
the 10th century. Seeding stocks
were brought to this country by the
Pilgrim Fathers. Trees of this type
may still be found on abandoned
farms but the drinking apple has not
been an important variety in this
country for more than a hundred
years. Bradford suggests a reexamin-
alton Of European cider varieties for
breeding characters valuable in de-
veloping new drinking apple varieties
for orchards here.
He points out that apples grown
specially for juice should be high in
acidity and ~astringency needed to
give the proper tang to processed
juice.
A drinking apple must be cheap
to produce. That e early, fire.
quent, and heavy bearing, resistance
to winter cold and spring frosts, mini
mum spraying requirements, and a
small size that can be harvested by
shaking. Small apples bruise less than
large ones. The small apple also has
a higher proportion of skin and ex-
ternal pulp where desirable flavoring
materials are concentrated. The
ripening season of the drinking apple
should be about the same as for
standard varieties.

Cannibalism in Chicks

Cannibalism in chicks is hard to
stop once it gets started. To avoid
this, keep the chicks busy at the feed
ers and water founts. If cannibalism
should start, treat the affected parts
with pine tar or commercial prepar-
atoms made for the purpose. Reduce
the light in the house. If possible,
exclude all light by shading the win
dows. Use a red light if the house is
wired for electricity. Salt added to
the drinking water at the rate of n
tablespoon per gallon of water for
halliday periods on three successive
days may prove beneficial. If the first
treatment is not successful, repeat
after three days.

Jeep Fan Belts, Tires

Fan belts on jeeps stiffened in sub

because gear oils and wheel bearing
greases stiffened so the wheels
would skid rather than turn.

First Illinois Prison

First state prison in Illinois was
in Alton, in southern Illinois. Estab-
lishment of the state penitentiary
at Joliet resulted from a legislative
investigation after the Civil war
into conditions at the Alton state
prison. During that war, conditions
were so bad in the Alton Jail that
prisoners died at the rate of 6 to 10
a day. After the war, the prison was
evacuated, sold and RACED.

Principal Causes Of Fires

Rural or farm homes face the
greatest danger from fires, since i'm
mediate help from fire departments
or neighbors is usually not close at
hand when the emergency arises. One
way or another, heating systems are
responsible for the majority of home
fires. Ranking second to the home
heating system as a "house burner
may be listed the careless habits of
smokers, the use of gasoline to wash
clothing in enclosed rooms, inflam-
mable liquids used nea open flames,
improper electrical fuses, ashes stor-
ed in cardboard boxes and dried leav-
es and moss on roofs.

Oils Sold In Three Grades

Engine oils are now sold under one
of three grades. The three grades are
regular, premium, and heavy-duty.
Regular oil refers to oil which has
been found to be generally suitable
for use in Observation-Disclosures en-.
gines under moderate operating con-
ditions. Premium oil must contain an
addative which resists oxidation and
must contain chemicals which pre-.
vent bearing erosion. Heavy-duty oil
will contain detergent additives in ad'
dition to corrosion and oxidation tn'
hibitors.

Aviation Industry
Seeks Safe Fuels
For AirpIane Use

CLEVELAND, OHIO.-Prevention
OF fires and explosions has become
a distinct possibility in most air.
plane crashes, some of the nations
leading aviation scientists believe.
The flight propulsion research lab
oratory Of the National Advisory
Committee for Aeronautics here,
with the cooperation of the aviation
industry, the air lines and the Civil
Aeronautics administration has I'M
dertaken an extensive program of
fundamental research on the prob
lem of aircraft fires.
1t is headed by the NACA's Lewis
A. Robert. winner of the 1916 Rob-
ert j. Collier trophy, the outstanding
aviation award in the country. Rob-
ert was given the trophy for devel-
oping a heat method of protecting
aircraft from ice.
So-called safety fuels" far less
explosive than regular aviation gas
oline, have already been developed
and used to fly airplanes. These
fuels cannot be used in commercial
air liners. however. until they have
been thoroughly tested and until en-
CINE notifications have been made.
Matches Won't Ignite II
You car throw lighted matches
into a pan of low volatility gasoline
(the so-called safety fuel) and it
won't burn. If the safety fuel is
heated to a high enough tempera-
ture to set it afire, it will burn only
one-twentieth as fast as the high
volatility gasoline now in general
use.
If the fire reduction program is
successful. passengers will have con-
siderably greater chances of sur
viving plane crashes than they do
at present. According to air force
authorities at Wright field, Dayton,
Ohio, roughly half the people killed
in airplanes during a typical year
survive the shock of the crash only
to be burned to death.
One of the problems to be over
come is that the safety fuel pro-
duces an explosive vapor in the gas
tanks of airplanes. Although this
vapor should not be particularly diff
ficult to neutralize, the problem is
of difficulties which must
be overcome before use of safety
fuels will become widespread. If
such as the use of a
new type fuel are introduced with
out thorough testing and study, en-
tirely new problems might be Gre
ated that are more serious than the
one eliminated, it is believed.
New Hydraulic Fluid
In addition to low volatility fuel,
a hydraulic fluid far less inflam-
mable than the highly explosive
types now used in airplanes has
been developed by the industry. It
S not yet ready for commercial air.
planes and is not regarded as ideal.
This e fluid will not burn under
most conditions but it will burn
sometimes. Research in developing
lonexplosive fluids is continuing.
Hydraulic fluid is used in all COM
nercial air liners TO raise and lower
anding gears and flaps.
The biggest problem facing the
Engineers now is the development
# a noninflammable lubricant to
ubstitute for oil used in airplane
ngines. Although oil seldom ex-
it burns even more easily

inc. Much more research must be

 Bailey said the boat left Whit tier with six passengers and was caught in a severe storm at Polt Wells. All six passengers escaped injury when the boat went on the rocks. but the boat was a total loss, and $500 worth of cargo were lost with it. The next day, when the owner returned to the scene. not even a rib of the boat was left at the spot. Only a part of the engine was found.

released pending further check, enough information has come to light to make his arrest manda- tory.
 Fails was known to be in Spo- kane yesterday, and extradition proceedings were to be instituted immediately. In all probability he will be brought to trial in Anchor age next month, Mayor Lanier said.
 Fails left town Saturday with his family, and had plane reser- vations to the .s States. without having given any notice whatever to the city administration. Much work is left unfinished that is necessary to safeguard the plumb ing and other utilities in the houS- ing area.
 Residents of the area will be asked to make affidavits concern ing work done and rentals paid They will also be asked to inden- tify cancelled checks they have written to pay for rent and other services.
 It is assumed that settlement of all questions pertaining 10 the housing project will be held in abeyance for the time being. At the time Fails fled the city was in receipt of letter from the Public Housing Administration Office in San Francisco to the effect that the Housing Administration was willing to submit a plan to settle the financial tangle arising from the building of the local Veterans Housing Project. The plan was originally submitted by Carl Hut ton, City Attorney of Seward, and was an entirely new plan.

Streets Set Aside For Coasting By Children

With Fridays snowfall herald ing the approach of winter City Police ask that all children con- fine their coasting activities to Second Street hin and Adams Street in the neighborhood of the Standard Oil Company.
 These two areas have been des- ignated by authorities because the traffic seems to be lighter there than in other parts of town and there is less likelihood of serious accidents.
 Motorists using Second and Adams Streets are asked to be especially watchful in these des- ignated areas, particularly after school hours and on weekends.

Mrs. Lanier Named Welfare Officer Here

Mrs. Margaert Hafemeister, Dis trict Worker for the Department of Public Welfare in the Third Judi cial District, announced yesterday that Mrs Gene Lanier has been ap pointed the official agent for the Department of Public Welfare in Seward. The appointment was made by Mrs. Hafemeister.
 In the same interview, Mrs. Hafe- meister announced that she had re- signed her position with the Pub lie Welfare Department with the effective date of December first. At that time Mir. and Mrs. Hafe- meister will come to Seward to take up their residence.
 Mrs. Hafemeister will be sue Ceeded in the Anchorage office by Miss Nan Blaha, who comes to the Third District from the Wei fare Office in ketchikan, where she has worked for the past two years.
 Mrs. Hafemeister visit in Sew ard this week was a routine visit on Welfare Department business, and she is returning to Anchorage this morning.
 In the interview, Mrs. Hafe- meiSter gave some very interest ing figures concerning the funds available in the Thi5d District The monthly Welfare budget for this district is $l33O, and at the first of each month about three quarters of this is earmarked for continuing cases, leaving little for emergencies.
 This amount of money is sup posed to cover all general welfare work for indigent white popula- ton, board and care for children in foster homes, and burialS of whites at a cost of Sl00 for each burial.
 With winter approaching. and with the great increase in popula- tion in the past two years. it can readily be seen that this Sl330 just can not be stretched far enough to cover all such cases. There will no doubt be some turn downs in some needy cases.
 It will be five months before the new biennium, April l, at which time, Mrs Hafemeister sincerely hopes, the new legislature will rec ognize the extreme need, and the importance of appropriating ade- quate funds to serve all cases of need, especially the needy chil- dren as well as the aged.
