ELECTfilGlTY 1 Eng: ineer Shows What Can and What Cannot Be Done in Home. Electricity May Be Im portant as Coal Prob lems Grow Larger. By F. W. HEWITT. One of America's Leading Engineers and Authorities. Editor's Note F. W. Hewitt is a well known engineer and authority on heating problems. In the following he takes up the question of electri city as an agent for heating the home. So far its use has been almost experi mental, certainly not universal al though the general public is apt to carry a vague idea that electric heat ers can heat a home as successfully as steam. Why it cannot is explained herewith. Just at this time the American peo ple are thinking of the coal shortage and of the possible lack of heat dur ing the coming cold months. Yet the coal situation and the question of heat are not necessarily the same. All experts have urged the use of substitutes for anthracite as far as may be possible in order to conserve the limited supply. The public mind has naturally turned to bituminous coal or to the possible use of oil, wood or gas. That is because we are ac customed to think of heat in terms of combustion exclusively; whereas, we actually get two kinds of heat convected and radiant. The former is the kind of heat we get from steam or hot water radiator. The latter is the heat we get from the sun. The steam or hot water radiator warms the surrounding air which rises, drawing cooler air into its place, and thus gradually lifts the entire surrounding temperature. In the case of the sun's rays, whatever they fall upon is instantly warmed, even though the surrounding temperature "in the shade" may remain lower and be gradually affected only as the earth, upon which the sun's rays have fallen, produces convected heat. Something very similar to this radi ated heat from the sun we now obtain through electricity and is available for the household in the present fuel famine. In large units, however, elec tricity is not available for the house holder since its use in that way calls for heavy currents and special wires for Its supply. The only practical value of electricity to the average consumer in hiB home is in that form which may be utilized from an ordi nary lamp socket, and this takes the form of the well-named sun-bow type of heater. As to the B. T. U. The phenomena of heat is change of temperature, and the higher tem perature is always the source of heat as it is fundamental that heat will travel from a hot to a cold body. Tem perature alone will not always suf fice as a source of heat. There must be quality as well. A burning match will develop a very high temperature, but it will not heat a room as the quantity of heat is lacking. Quantity is measured in heat units, and in technical language the measure of heat is the British Thermal Unit, or B. T. U. Coal is desirable as a fuel because it develops a great number of the B. T. U. in a small mass or weight. Oil, wood and various other fuels de velop B.T.U.'s in quantities as they burn, and their relative value as fuel is in the same relation as their B. T. U.'s per pound. Electricity is not measured by the pound but by the kilowatt hour, and every such kilo watt hour contains 3412 B. T. U. The development of heat from elec tricity necessarily comes through the lamp socket into the home, these nav- ing been designed for lamps and not for heaters. The metal parts within are not substantial enough to carry an amount of electricity sufficient to heat a room. The wires are also in adequate for this purpose and it be comes necessary, therefore, to limit the amount of heat that can be ob tained through a lamp socket. Con' sequently it has been determined that from 600 to 660 watts is the maximum for home electric heaters, which means that they will dissipate into the room from 2047 to 2252 B. T. V, for every hour they are to run. To Avoid Waste It is as hopeless to expect to heat a room of any size with this number of B. T. U. as it is to do it with a burning match. Consequently, the heat thus developed must be utilized without waste and to the best advan tage, concentrating it where it is most wanted. That is upon things or persons, not on the insensate walls. The essence of the household electric heater is, therefore, direction and con centration of a very high degree of temperature. The electric heater of the highest and most efficient type, therefore, fol lows the same laws as light. Heat can be radiated and passed through space with little loss. The sun's rays come to us that way. By making a heater that will operate at a very high temperature within the capacity a lamp socket and mounting this in the focus of a highly polished cop per reflector, the highest degree of heat efficiency has been obtained. Such a radiator will t..ke a small quantity of electricity and turn every bit of it into heat which can then be delivered with the least possible loss at the exact point to be heated. . Brings Comfort. While such a heater will not mate- Comes 20,000 Miles to Study Cattle; J. P.

It wilt make it possible to sit in a room in comfort that is not otherwise heat ed to an agreeable temperature, just as one may sit in the sun with com fort when it would be too cool in the shade. Many makes of heaters of this gen eral Sun-bowl type are on the market ranging downward in price from elev en dollars for the best. In selecting a heater the best test is to stand about live feet in front of several and to choose that which radiates the great est amount of heat This is governed to some extent by the site of the cop per bowl which should glow evenly when the current is on. If it is not full of even color it is not a scien tifically made sun-bowl. There is virtually no difference between the various makes in the amount of cur rent consumed What the user should assure himself of is the maximum amount of heat from the current he consumes, and this is mainly gov erned by the shape of the heating medium, whether or not it directs the greatest amount of heat generated first to the bowl, and then radiate it in the direction desired in the great est quantity. FIGURING IT ALL OUT There will always be a difference of opinion as to the relative placing of the factors entering into the suc cess or failure at the noils. However. the Gaiette-Times dares to venture certain conclusions in reference to the result of yesterday, First in the success of Mr. Fierce comes his own engaging personality and splendid campaigning ability. Without a man of his type and fight ing capacity, it would not have been possible for the result to have been accomplished. Second, the issue on .which Mr Pierce chose to make his campaign- the lessening of taxation. Taxes touch everybody, and all the natives sit up and take notice when there ia possi ble, though not necessarily probable, relief. Third, the deflections from repub lican ranks due to the Compulsory school bill and the breaking away resulting from the activities of the Klan tight in the primaries and the splendid organization work of this body Fourth, the fact that Mr Olcott, his opponent, has never been regard ed as a republican organization man of sufficient certainty as to bring him the enthusiastic support of the leading workers in the republican organization Fifth, a resentment in the minds of many at the presentation of the record of Mr. Pierce with the impu tations attached. Sixth, the general discontent throughout the country born of combination of circumstances, and in many instances without reason, ex cept that periodically there is a dis position to swat the fellow in office- Seventh, a feeling on the part of many that Mr. Olcott has been in state office quite a while. Doubtless there were many other factors cantributing to the success of Mr. Pierce, but inquiry before and after leads the Gazette-Times to put the leading ones in the order stated. It will be the disposition of many to arrange these in order of importance on the basis of their own feelings. In case one was moved by a certain factor more than another, in all probability the disposition will be to magnify that as the factor contributing most to the attitude of others. Corvallis Gazette-Times. AFTER THE BATTLE The election is over and the can didates are now winners and losers. The outstanding feature of the re sults is the success which attended those who had the klan backing. In city and state they won out with but few exceptions. Party lines were ob literated and other issues and con siderations were subordinated inso far as the major contests were con cerned. To the victor belongs the spoils, and a part of the spoils is the right to celebrate and receive the congrat ulations of the losers. So be it. They have the reins of government. May they handle them successfully. Astoria Budget. "WE WANT A CHANGE" Oregon wanted a change and we have it. We have turned out a careful pain staking executive who during his many years in public life has con scientiously served the public and as governor given the best business ad ministration any western state en joys. But there were not jobs enough to go around so we voted for a change. The Athenians banished Ar istides because they wearied of hear ing him called the just, and we have voted to oust Olcott because we are tired of efficiency. Oreiton wanted a change -and we have it. We have advertised ourselves as the only state in the union where the peo ple have voted to close private ana church schools and make the child the ward of the state. The election proved that Catholics and Lutherans, Adventists and othera maintaining religious schools are not anted. and that relvuus to.eration has been abolished in favor of sec tarian fanaticism. We have voted to be classed as the bigot among states. We have joined Texas and become an important pro vince in the "invisible empire ruled by secret society domination. We wanted a change and we nave it Salem Capitol Journal. In Oregon it was a most remark able election. The most remarkable in the history of the state. Oregon has a right to elect a republican on registration by 75,000 majority. And yet Pierce overcame this ana was elected by about 30,000 according to present returns. What did it do and how was It done? Kid fierce nave me power of the press behind him? Did he have the speakers? Did he have the monev: No, he had none ol these Everything was against him but the voters. The united press of Oregon was for Olcott. The Oregon delega tion from congress was brought home to fight for him. The money for ad vertising and propaganda was against him. Pierce was alone. He spoke in nearly every county in the state. IH said we ought to try and .educe taxes Oicott said poo-poo, it can't be done And then the religious fight entered into it. Olcott made his fatal mistake just before the primary election when he issued his religious edict, inese things combined to make the election a rather remarkable one. The power of the press went as nought. The in fluence of money was swept aside. There was mental revolt. A silent protest and Pierce almost single handed and alone was caught in the tidal wave of political revolt and swept into office. Blue Mountain Eagle. HOMEY PHILOSOPHY for 1922 What a great thing it would be if all the musical geniuses thought of the mob an' wrote for the mob an' if the fellows that think they're musi cal geniuses thought of the mob an didn't write for the mob. Music lifts the soul, it inspires to action, it sti mulates in war, and comforts thi souls of the afflicted. A thousand souls are more important than one soul, an' the mob is being born, is growing up an' is dying every day. Classical music may be all right in its way, but who knows it? When the long-haired critic laughs because you don't know the definition of classical music, slip this over to him: "Classical music is music that is not popular."

The other day the postmaster at Chicago had placards put on the mot or vehicles operating in the Postal Service reading as follows: STOP THIS WASTE! 25,000,000 Pieces of Mail Annually Are Delayed or Not Delivered atAll Because They Are Incorrectly Ad dressed or Improperly Packed. The postal authorities call our at tention to the fact that there are 25,000,000 pieces of mail that they must handle three to seven times oftener than they would have to hand le them if they had been properly prepared. And even after they have exhausted every means of identification and sal vage they succeed in delivering only slightly more than one-fifth of that amount. ' And this does not include vast quantities of circulars and news papers which are not properly ad dressed, and which are destroyed be cause they can not be delivered. In Chicago there is one building that is used as a storage place for mail of obvious value and for mail of first class which cannot be deliver ed. Twice a year the contents are auc tioned off, because there is no way of finding the owners.. In this build ing are bins of shoes, quantities of clothing, dress goods, automobile parts and tires, sporting goods, suit cases everything from a bird cage to a mouse trap. These are lost to both the one who sent them and the one who should receive them because somebody was careless In tying a knot, or used flimsy wrapping paper, or put on a defective address. Nearly 300 employees are engaged in correcting the common, prevent able errors of the people, The only reason the post office can stand this drain of carelessness upon its re sources Is that the people pay the bill. .. ' There ought to be a general cam paign of education with the object of impressing upon the people the Importance of properly preparing and addressing anything they put Into the mail box. Another waste, caused by sheer thoughtlessness, arises from the cus tom of many business houses holding their mail until the close of the busi ness day, when they release It to the postoffice in a perfect deluge. All day, cancelling machines, dlstribut- 3 n;i.A'j ,itha Mimh whefa the storm- clouds frown, than to jine the crowd that's a-goin' down! God loves the man with the heart enin' song who can change his tune if he gets it wrong that can fit his soul to the all-wise plan, with some thin' to spare fer hie feller-man. And beyond the clouds, and toil and strife, there's a crown of joy and eternal life! ing cases, and other facilities for handling mail lie practically idle, and just after 5 p. m. they are taxed beyond their capacity. If people would simply change their mailing habits to the extent of depositing their mail even two hours earlier than they do at present, it would revolutionize the Postal Service. This article is written in the hope that many people will adopt the idea of paying better attention to their' mail matter. I After all, the post office Is the great public servant, and it be hooves every citizen of the country to make that servant as efficient as possible. Much of the criticism leveled at the post office is due to the careless ness of the general public. JOHN H. BARTLETT, First Assistant Postmaster General. Heppner Man Visits County. S. E. Notson of Heppner was a visitor in the county the last of the week. Mr. Notson filled the speaking engagement advertised for Frank Davey of Salem, addressing the vot ers of the lower valley at Wallowa Friday evening and the voters of the upper valley at Enterprise Saturday evening. He was met by a fair sized audience at Wallowa but the turn out at Enterprise was very poor. This is no sign of disapproval of Mr. Not son's ability as a speaker but it is testimony of the general apathy on the part of the voters in regard to elections these days. Mr. Notson spent Sunday morning in company with The Herald editor In viewing some of the scenery of this vicinity. A trip to the head of the lake, taking in .the Elk's building, the electric light plant, the west falls and the park, convincing him that the wonderful tales the Heppner Gazette-Times editor poured in his ear after his recent visit to Wallowa County were not In the least ex aggerated. The little skiff of snow, the ice on the trees below the power plant and the faded tamarack only served to make the scene more en chanting. In days gone by, when ye editor claimed Heppner as his home, Sam Notson was a neighbor of ours. This was not entirely his fault, because he bought himself and family a nice home in our end of town and we sort of migrated from place to place, first on one side of him and then on the other. He is a peace-loving man and we always got along well together, He is a republican and we claim some such affiliations; he Is a public spirit ed citizen, a booster, and that Is in line with our trend of thought. He is an educator of more than local prominence, and in that he holds our admiration and respect. So withal we feel deeply inclined to pay him a compliment. Mr. Notson wsa superintendent of schools for Morrow county f r sever al years and is at present county at torney. FOR SALE -A few well devoloped Duroc Jersey weanling pigs. $5.00 each if taken soon.
