MAKE YOUR HEATING
APPARATUS SAFE
Before stoves and furnaces art
started up this fall they should be
carefully inspected, together with the
smoke pipes, flues, etc This may
save your home and the lives of your
family. Sixty-five per cent of all
the fires occur in dwellings, and de
fective flues and heating apparatus
are resnonsible for most of these.
The general rules for the safeguard
ing of domestic heating appliances
are as louows:
Examine smoke nines to see that
they have not rusted through, and
that Joints are tight
Be certain that there are no cracks
in the chimneys or flues, and that
they are cleaned out regularly.
Place stoves, furnaces and nines far
enough from walls and woodwork to
avoid overheating.
Cover the nearest wooden surfaces
with sheet asbestos, sheet iron or tin)
if iron or tin is used, leave an air
space behind it.
Where stovepipes or heating pipes
pass through walls, e nclose the pipes
in galvanized iron, double-wailed, ven
tilated thimbles at least two in
ches wider than the diameter of the
pipes.
Protect the floor beneath the stova
with sheet metal, and have it extend
forward at least twelve inches di
rectly beneath the door of the ashpit.
Surround the base of the furnace
with brick, stone or concrete.
Fix a guard about the nine in the
attic, so nothing may be stored
against it.
never pour kerosene into a coal
or wood stove, even when the fir u
OUT.
Never nut ashes into wooden hr.
rets; use a strong metal can.
atuoy tne drafts and dampers.
'Do not let the stove or nines be.
come red-hot.
Keen stoves, furnaces. fluaa anil
chimneys clean.
Inspect the chimneys and flues to
be sure they are sound.
Do not dry wood in an oven.
Do not hang wet clothes too near
to a stove.
Keep curtains and other cloth away
rrom stoves and pipes.
To Conduct Experiments
Plans for extensive exnerimenta In'
connection with the coal deposits of
uregon to determine the extent of de
posits of coking coal, were formulat
ed Monday at a conference between
Director a. Foster Bain of the United
States Bureau of Mines who wan in
Portland and Director H. M. Parka
of the Oregon Bureau of Mines and
Geology. The United Stataa bureau
will use its laboratories and experts
in their investigations and the Oregon
bureau will do much of the field wnrlr. !
It is believed that extensive deposits
of good coking coat exist in several
districts of Oregon. If a good cok
ing coal of sufficient quantities can
be found, it is believed the iron ore
deposits of the state speedily will be
developed.

pleted, according to advices ret rfved
by frank b. brant illustrious poten
tate of At Kader temple, yesterday.
Potentate Grant yesterday received
the first complete details of the meet
ing of the board of trustees of the
Shriners' hospital project. This
meeting was held recently in Atlanta.
Ga., and St Louis, Mo.
Plans for the Portland hoenital to
be constructed bv the Shrine will be
drawn by the firm of Heinz, Reid eV
Adler, who designed the plans for the
Scottish Rite crippled children's hos
pital In Atlanta. Ga.. which will be
the model for all of the subsidiary i
hosDitala,
Construction of the hosnital in
Portland, according to the advices re
ceived, will probably be under direc
tion of Mayor Baker, who Will also be
empowered to select the site and let
the contract for the work.
Members of the board of trustees
estimate the coat of operating the
hospitals to be erected in Portland
and other points througout the United
oiaies and Canada wui amount to ap
proximately $50,000 vearlr. It is nos-
sibie that extensions will be made
to the various hospitals after they
nave seen eompieted, u the demand
for services exceeds the capacity.
However, this is a detail that will not
be bandied until the buudinr nroffram
agreed upon nas been carried out.
According to reports read at thi
meeting held in Atlanta, the board of
trustees now has $950,000 of the first
$1,000,000 in the banks and tha aronH
$1,000,000 of the hospital fund will be
due on January 1. The public, inci
dentally, is not called upon to aid in

nas neen approved bv the imDeri&i
council.
The central hosnital for the crip
pled children will be located in St.
Louis, and its cost is estimated at
sauu.wu. in addition to the hospital
in Portland, the board of tmataoa haa
selected Montreal, Canada, St. .Paul
and Minneapolis, San Francisco and
Shraveport, La.
In addition to these six hospitals

After many discourastnc notes had
been sounded and the cause by some
seemed lost, the Council Crest site lor
the 1925 World's Fair ia again fore
most of the sites proposed and is re
ceiving the enthusiastic support of
many mitutntiai -me. nrous;n me
efforts of members of the Beaverton
and Huber Commercial Clubs, the
support of many Portland people has
been enlisted and efforts are now well
under way which' will result hi the
site being fully set before the direct
ors of the fair and its many advan
tages convincingly shown. At a meet
ing of a committee consisting of Doy
Gray, Otto Erickson, D. A. Norton,
E .E. Swenson and R. H. Jonas called
on Messrs. Lewis sY Clark, consulting
enffinewa. vesterdav afternoon and
obtained from them estimates of the
cost of an accurate survey of the
merits of the site and durinr the next
few days Messrs. Norton and Johns
will present the matter to various
Portland organisations with a view of
securing their support
Under the new n the site wilt be
extended east from Council Crest to
the river and use will be made of the
deep water channel and the advan
tages of hydroplane landings and oth
er aquatic features. At no other
place which has vet been proposed are
there scneic attractions, camping fa
cilities and transportation possibili
ties to compare with those on the
Council Crest site and the addition of
the river frontage gives the site ev
ery advantage nossessed by any other
site and dozens which are exclusive
to the only close-in West side site.
While the cost will approximate
nearly $3000 nnd the retort will equal
that of any site now being considered..
pledges already received will care for
all but about $700 of this amount and haiI mean and include any automo

FRESH MILK FOR BABY
Note Some auto .campers had a
crate fastened to the back of their
car containing a goat which furnished
fresh milk for their baby,
Some campers had a nanny goat
And she gave milk and so
They took her on their flivver boat
Wherever they did go,
They motored across our U. 8. A.
And camned out every night
And at all stops both night and day
They gave the crowd delight.
They took the goat out of the crate,
To get a bite to eat
No creamery that ia up-to-date,
Can with their one compete.
In camp or ro't the goat went m-a-h
It ate up all their straps
And when some bystanders said b-s-b
She started for those chaps.
The night was not so awful dark
Moon-clouds were drift inn- bv
A howl Is heard throughout the ark
un bear that baby cry.
A light flares up within the tent
A shadow on the wall
The movement of some lanky gent,
wno lets tne oottie lau.
There was no more milk In the can,
The child strikes mighty blows,
He quickly to his garments ran
And nuatied in nis clothes.
ne took the iiasn tigtit and want out
ne neid it to tne ground
As from the tent he walked about,
ine nanny yoat was round.
The bottle was filled to the brim
He hastily want Inside
The baby grabbed the milk from him
And soon was satisiied.
And so you see tkey found it paid,
To take a goat along
For themselves it did greatly aid
When anything went wrong.
So when the country ou go through
ror iresn miiif you win find
It pays to take a goat with you
And strap it on behind,

NO E&T A BUSHED MARKET
FOR POTATO DEED BALLS
Since the story was published that
someone at some time paid a fancy
price for the seed grown In the littla
&rten potato seed balls nearly three
iindred letters of inquiry for a potato
seed market have come to the O. A.
C, Experiment station.
"In tha particular Instance cited
the potatoes had been artificially
crossed with two well known parent
stocks," says G. R. Hyslop, chief of
the station farm corps. "Then is no
established market for potato aoad
at this time."
Potatoes In tho northwest fraauant.
ly sear the seed balls rather heavily.
Professor Hyslop points out, snd it
would ba possible to collect in the
average year several wagon loads of
thtm.
Potato seed la used In some in.
stances to establish new potato var
iation. The procedure is to wash
out the ripe teed balls fat water over
a screen, and to separata tha sesdi
in much the same manner that toma
to seeds are separated. Tha seed ia
dried and kept till spring, whan it ia
usuany started in a green house or
other protected place, from which
the plants are later field set. .
Only small tubers sre usually pre
dated the first year, and these are,
than regularly planted the next year a,
by which time it is possible to tall
whether the variety Las any merit.
Most products prove Inferior and not
worth continued culture, but a new
variety of real uromiae ia onaainnall
developed in this way. For Oregon
conditions a long to oblong variety
resistant to wilt and mosaic is need
