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.

of a room of considerable size, as
has been explained, it will deliver a
delightful heat to any given place. 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.

"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

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."

STOP THIS WASTE
By Dr. Frank Crape.
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-

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.

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.
