WILL BE ELECTED PRESIDENT HEADING OFFJIPPINQ FROST Many Types of tmess Fwts fair PrwtecttasT the Beadlaa; j Orrharaa. A new self-lighting orchard heating system, by which a great number of smudge pots may be lighted by a single operation whenever aa orchard Is threat ened with frost, la described by the Sci entific American. Immediately when the smudge pots are lighted a dense cloud of smoks arises and covers the region t be protected. This prevents heat radia tion from the earth's surface aad safe guards the buds of the fruit trees from ths rays of the sua. There are many types of heaters, and ooaf and oil have seen the fuel most extensively used, but oil seems to be held In greater favor be cause it la more easily handled. The self llghtlng device may be attached to va rious Wade of beaters. By Ha nss a quarter of mile of smudge pots can be lighted Instantaneously and much oil Is saved weeauss It la not accessary to light up until the thermometer indicates that frost la In the vtclmty. Ths systsm when operated for a cer tain round styM of pots consists of two overhead wires running down from a row of trees from a post, with real aad lever attached, to the end of the orchard. The overhead wires, which are erected about seven feet from the groond. may be eon- vantaotlr run through the Umbo of the trees or between rowtf ss desired. From the overhead Maes a wire extends to each pot U4, watch sonaosts with a chemical cartridge placed on a hokler attached to each pot. woaa toe cartridge ts opened Maxtor laaottae flows from and Ignites the erode en m tbe pot. The wires are made In two lengths so that when the lever Is turned oaos ealy half the pots lavery other one) are lighted. X second tare will light the others. This system la daslgasd so that whoa a minimum amount of heat is required only half of the pots will be lighted. Whoa aa entire orchard Is thus equipped tbe levari are ptaoed la a centrally located row se that all may be throws within a few minutes. Another type of heater constats of aa ok long box. the Ud of which Is opened tkree iaehes by one turn of the lever, two Inches wider by a second turn and roll length by a third turn, according to the amount of heat feared. The eetf-UghttBg cartridge la mada of treated paper aad consists of sslf -lighting chemical agents placed is a tube within the container. Ths space sur rounding the tube Is filled with g eon Hue aad a sealed cap covers ths container. The oaeratlea of the cartridge Is soeocs pUabed errs ply by breaking the cover seal, which is dona astaenaUcelly aa ths Ud of the heater la throws by the lever.

Though ths pst cat hsa its devoted champions, ths other aide of the question Is feelingly Indicated by a writer la the Westminster. Review. In discussing Lon don tyrannies he has thla to say: "In Great Britain ws harbor ".Ks.000 cats, or ona est per tV human beings. reckoning our total population at et.0l0.0O0.

But In the concrete or, to be more precise, among the bricks and mortar of that particular urban space under review they are actually appalling.

Ws were considering the mu-chaae of Puiton'a compounds and were looking for cases to try them out on. One of our number knew Charlee A. Newton, the Vardmaster of the 8. P. R. R. I.'c at Sacramento a very worthy man. He also knew that Newton had Diabetes and waa In a hospital In the Capital City, and that hla recovery seemed Impossible when he mat nearu irons him. A letter was written to Newton that Irulton claimed his Dia betes Compound cured Diabetes and that ws wsnted to know from Ol'R friends If this wss so, and that If he I New tool would take It that we would aand him a supply of It. Newton replied to the effect that come four or five months before ws wrote Dim he had heard about the com pound, had taken It. that the auger was nearly out and he wee almost well. M Is complete recovery followed, end be toM uH P. Engineer who bad Diabetes and be recovered. We also saw Gen. Taso.

City Elec trician Michadsen and moving picture machine operators agreed that there was dsnger from Inexperienced -and Incapable operators.

Kleeer Telle the Wean that Clrrka la Departaarat Starea -Have Splendid Opportunity If They Are Ambltlawa. Discuss! ona of the commission form of government, led by Charlee A. A Wen ot the executive committee of the Clttxens' union, was held by the social science de partment of the Omaha Woman's club at. yesterday's meeting. Miss Lily Strong, general secretary of the Toung Women's Christian association, told about the asso ciation's travelers' aid department Henry Kleser, head of the book department of the Bennett company's store, gave sketch ot Ufc behind the department store counter. Mr. Aldea said that the question sow up to the cltlsens ot Omaha la that of picking from the ISO snd more candidates for nomination for the oomrolsalonershlp of Omaha, seven men who are honest, fit snd big enough to see a Melon ot Omaha as It ought to be. Miss Strong, in telling of the work of Miss Clara Mead, travelers' aid secretary stationed at the Union depot, said that the number of girls wbo travel utterly unprepared with information of their destination, and ths number who simply land In Omaha trusting to hick for a higher providence to look after them, is astounding. She said that in all Nebraska towns there should be plscards telling of the travelers' aid In the Omaha station, that ticket agents should be mads authoritative agents ot the national association for ths purpose of dispensing Information to women traveling alone. Miss Strong said that there Is a plan oa foot to estabUah a national travelers' aid for women se that girls headed west ward, especially Immigrants, would be met In the cities along ths route by re sponsible persona to sld them. She de clared that there are H.OW girls lost an nually while traveling la the United 8tates. " Kleeer oa SaeraauuMhlp. Mr. Kleeer gavs a comprehensive view ot the education which goes te the mak ing of a capable salesman or saleswoman and the Important part which ths depart ment store plays In ths commercial world. "The percentage of opportunities fur promotion to the honest, industrious, ambitious and qualified men and women are greater in the department store than in any other branch of mercantile pur suits," declared Mr, Kleeer, and added that the vast army ot men and women employed In the department stores of ths country represent America's greatest brain power,- energy and practical oour-1 tear. 1 I Mr, Kleser denied that the department store is an emporium for a continual pro cession ot bankrupt, fire and wreck ssles and said that this Idea is rapidly being relegated to the past , .' Hs maintained that . ths department store hss not drlvea the small store out of, business and aald that, granting It had. It Justifies Its existence from the 'act that It gives the public greater value and greater servk-e, than tbe small store. '..- "The department store Is sbla to render public service at a fraction of the cost ot the asms kind of service it rendered by the small store." - Births and Deaths.
