"WHITE COAL" USAGES
Quality production in industry is
aided by electric heat, and a number
of uses are listed by Harold Ful
wider of the General Electric Com
pany. Some of these are enumerated
as follows:
Bread ' is baked better and more
uniformily, gears are made stronger,
bath tubs smoother and lenses clear
er by electric heating. An electrical
device is on the market which is
used by opticians in stretching cellu
loid or "tortoise shell" eyeglass rims
with the aid of electric heat. An
other device, utilizing an electric
heating unit, is designed to quicken
the starting of automobiles in any
weather, and is placed in the gas
line of the car between the carburet
or and in the intake manifold.
A firm of wholesale grocers in
Cleveland has several electric heat
ers for warming its 18,000 gallon
sprinkler system during the winter
to keep it from freezing. Electric
heat has been applied in California
to the heating of residences, drying
walnuts and marketing oranges.
A new all-electric automatic dough
nut machine with a capacity of ap
proximately 5,000 doughnuts per hour
was recently placed on ilie market,
This machine performs all the op
erations of cutting, frying, turning,
ejecting and conveying the finished
doughnuts automatically. The cook
ing is done with electric heat.
, Another new machine produces
"hot dogs" automatically, cooking the
frankfurter inside the roll which is
baked at the same time. Electric
heat does the cooking.
Eggs are now sterilized by clccU-i
heat. The eggs are passed through
a heated oil bath, the oil fills the
pores in the eggshell and prevents
air from entering. Recent tests in
dicated that eggs so treated may b
kept odorless and fresh for years.
Odors and smoke are eliminated
and the fire hazard is either minim
ized or done away with.
Electric heat is now used success
fully in' manufacturing abrasives;
working, shaping and heat treating
metals; making bottle caps; brand
ing; making cereals; in the chemi
cal industry; in the clay industry; in
cloth singeing; roasting cocoa beans;
embossing; melting glue; impregnat
ing paper, asphalt, lumber and rope,
heating water; manufacturing clec
trical apparatus; japan baking; la
boratory experimental work; laundry
machines; drying paint; roasting
peanuts; curing rubber; sherardiz-
ing; making shoes; operating stills
and sterilizers; making cigarettes;
drying varnish; vitreous enameling;
wrapping packages, etc. '

The nama, Oregon Agricultural
college, appears to be slipping. Ore
gon State College and State College
are the names the institution is be
ing called at the present time. The
change of name is becoming eom
1 mon in usage, is of recent origin,
and it transpires has grown out of a
general acceptance by students and
alumni and is not due to any official
action of the college administration.
While the change may be radical
enough to draw a certain amount of
sentiment, the shortening of the
name is better for every purpuse,
without detracting in any degree
whatever, insofar as designation is
concerned.
o
Detroit seems to be a city from the
ground up, in every sense of the
term. Detroit is a city noted for do
ing things on a large scale. For
instance, the other day prohibition
agents found a million dollar brew
cry under ground, occupying a whole
block of chambers and tunnels, with
!'00,000 gallons of the beverage that
made Milwaukee famous on hand.

HIS TRIBUTE TO DAD
The following is from the Mas
onic Analyst, and is written by Dr.
Frank Crane under the title "Dad."
Dear Dad: I am writing this to
you, though you have been dead 30
years. From your seat in The Place
Beyond, I hope you can see these
lines. I feel I must say some
things to you, things I didn't know
when I was a boy in your house, and
things I was too stupid to say. tIt's
only now, after passing through the
long, hard school of years, only now,
when my own hair is gray, that I
understand how you felt. I must
have been a bitter trial to you. I
was such an ass. I believed my" own
petty wisdom, and I know now how
ridiculous it was, compared to that
calm, ripe, wholesome wisdom of
yours.
Most of all, I want to confess my
worst sin against you. It was the
feeling I had that you "did not un
derstand." When I look back over
it now, I know that you did Under
stand. You understood me better
than I did myself. Your wisdom
flowed around mine like the ocean
around an island. And how patient
you were with me! How full of
long suffering, and kindness! And
how pathetic, it now comes home to
me, were your efforts to get close
to me, to win my confidence, to be
my pal! I wouldn't let you. I
couldn't. What was it held me aloof?
I don't know. But it is tragic that
wall that rises . between a boy and
his father, and their frantic attempts
to see through it and climb over it.
I wish you were here now, across
the table from me, just for an hour,
so I could tell you how there's no
wall any more; I understand you
now, Dad, and, God, how I love you,
and wish I could go back and be
your boy again! I know now how
I could make you ; happy every day.
I know how you felt. Well, it won't
be long, Dad, till I am over, and I
believe you'll be the first one to take
me by the hand and help me up the.
further slope. And I'll put in the
first thousand years or so making
you realize that not one pang or
yearning you spent on me was wast
ed. It took a good many years for
this prodigal son and all sons are
in a measure prodigal to come to
himself, but I've come, I see it all
now. I know that the richest, most
priceless thing on earth, and the
thing least understood,1 is that mighty
love' and tenderness and craving to
help which a father feels toward his
boy. For I. have a boy of my own.
And it is he that makes me want to
go back to you, and get down on my
knees to you.
Up there somewhere in The Sil
ence, hear me, Dad, and believe me!
LORENA TRiCKEY
(Portland Telegram)
Lorena Trickey, tried before a jury
of her peers, has been acquitted of
the charge of murdering "Slim" Har
ris, her common-law husband. We
use the word "peers" advisedly. The
case was heard in one of the last
surviving strongholds of the range
country and the people in the jury
box and in the court room were
those who know still the- elemental
life of the frontier.
In such a court and surrounded
by such an atmosphere, the peculiar
code of Western chivalry could pr
mit no other than the verdict of
"not guilty." And with all our re
gard for law enforcement, and leav
ing aside such details of the evi
dence as might awaken doubt as to
the motive of her violent act, we
would not have it otherwise.
There is something simple and di
rect about the tale of "Trickey" and
her "Slim" that clears it of such
sordid taint as we associate with
Judge Lindsay's "companionate mar
riage." The whole drama of Lor-
ena's life, beginning with her child
ish battles with untamed horses and
including her losing battle with her
untamed self, has the vigorous
swing of such old tales as make up
the northland sagas. Its virtues are
the hardy ones of courage, loyalty,
generosity and a sin.ple honesty. Its
sins are vigorous, forthright sins
that attempt no polite disguise under
the "urge for self expression."
It is a life that is largely the
product of its harsh and primitive
surroundings, and it has been in the
same surroundings that its acts were
judged. We cannot be sorry that in
that old court room at Lakeview,
there was none found to throw the
first stone.
