1930 FIRE BILL WILL TOTAL HALF BILLION DOLLARS Jsew York. —Approximately 10.000 Uvea will be lost in fires In the United States during 1930, it was estimated today by the Henry Klein Research Laboratory. In the same period property loss to the amount of nearly $500,000,000 will result from the same cause. “Despite constant tightening of the fire laws and numerous technical im-

provements in building construction such as flame proof wood, the present trend of the ( nation's annual fire , loss is upward," the laboratory an nounced after an exhaustive survey of the subject I Hope that this I upward trend will I soon be checked ’ however, was contained in the announcement, which

pointed to such appalling disasters as the recent prison h're.at Columbus, Ohio, as costly lessons to the .public bn the necessity for even greater fire prevention measures. “Too much emphasis has been placed since the war on ouiiding materials other than wood because wood was considered Ineffective in preventing fires," the statement pointed oirt. “There has been a willingness to accept these so-called fire proof materials as the only necessary precaution against fire, whereas it is just becoming evident that , they are riot even as fire-resistant as wood Is when properly treated under new flame proof processes. The wood, then becomes a better safeguard against poison gases, smoke, and Haines than any other product known to science. ’ Thirty per cent of nil fires that will occur this year could be prevented by a little more care and 25 per rent of them could be curbed from reaching serious proportions, the report estimated.

Have It scalding hot by rinsing with hot water. Put dry leaves into the Jlf hot pot Save a measure for your water and have this measure scalding hot Pour out carefully as many cups of water as you desire to make of tea and pour the water instantly while it is boiling, bubbling hot on tiie dry tea. Let the tea steep from three to five minutes, according to whether you wish It weak o< strong. Stir before pouring. Keep the pot b«»r but do not allow the tea to boll. A teaspoonful of tea for each cup and one for the pot makes a delicious beverage of medium strength." Wood used with bark on—for rustic, cabins, summer houses, fences etc, should be cut in late fall or win ter, says the U. S- Department ol Agriculture. Winter cutting minimix ee damage from insects. Pile the wood either off the ground or under covei so it will dry as rapidly as possible Most wood-boring insects eat onlj freshly cut wood and are not active tn December, January and February

"We invade a new field with vastly improved cars at the lowest prices in our history" BY WILLIAM J. McANEENY President, Hudson Motor Car Company

We have built these models up to and beyond the 193 T standards-of performance an/ quality in every way, and have never in our history offered so many improvements. Quality is greater down to the. last detail Every phase of performance has been greatly improved, and the luxury we have built into the cars is substantially greater than ever before. Motors are larger and more powerful. An efficient system of oil cooling is introduced. A marked improvement in carburetion increases flexibility and economy. Bodies are longer and wider. These cars possess the finest, easiest riding qualities. For the first time, such comfort is available at these low prices. Only great manufacturing economies and ■ the fact that our large resources permit us to take the fullest possible advantage of reduced commodity prices have enabled us to offer the public, the greatest combination of quality and low prices in our entire history.

Btfke the pie in, a slow oven for about 20 minutes or until the meringue is delicately brown. Demand for feeder pigs has increased in recent years, says the US. Department of Agriculture, principally from corn belt farmers and men who make a business of fattening pigs. Garbage-feeding establishments and serum plants also buy feeder pigs. To sell as feeders, pigs should weigh from 75 to 100 pounds, or they may even weigh up to 120 pounds.

REPORTS ON BLACK WALNUT CROP VARY INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (Special)— The recent inquiry of the forestry division of the state conservation department about the season’s crop of tjlack walnuts brought in a variety of replies, says Ralph F. Wilcox, state forester Many report only a few* trees having any crop worth gathering; others i large number of young trees without any walnuts. « A most striking revelation, he says, is the fact that a number of woodland owners have cut the last nutbearing walnut free on their land, and therefore no longer derive an annual income from the sale of walnuts. This is especially true in communities adjacent to walnut veneer or woodworking establshinents. Each season, contends the state forester, a number of requests are received from confectioners and wholesalers. Prices vary from SI.OO per bushel for walnuts to SI.OO per pound

for the walnut kernels. The sale of walnuts represents a means of revenue usually overlooked by farmers and woodland owners. In a bulletin issued today, Wilcox urged land owners to save their good trees for seed, as they will be needed in this tremendous program to reforest portions of Indiana. The extent of the damage to forest land by last seasori’s drought will probably never be known, the bulletin says. However, the drought left large areas of forest land very dry and in "4 tinder-like condition. For this reason unless there are heavy rains, forest fires will threaten Indiana woodlands for the next six weeks A recent survey of the forestry office of summer forest fires in Morgan, Brown, _ Martin, Crawford and Harrison counties show twenty-three fires burned over more than 2,000 acres. Fifty per cent of these fires were caused by transits, twenty-five per cent by hunters, and the remaining twenty-five per cent by railroads and tfnknown causes, the survey reveled.
