WARNS AGAINST BOILERS
NEW YORK, <By Mail) —Steam
power' is taking the place of strong
right arms and ‘“elbow grease" in
west and middle west farms, aec >rd
mg to the Boiler Code Committee
of the American Society of Mechan
ical Engineers. The use of steam
for scalding milk pails, cream separ
ators churning machinery and other
dairying apparatus is fact becom
ing general. Steam power is being
used to pump water and saw wood.
With the announcement of the in
creased use of steam on farms, the
committee has sounded a warning
that the application of safety law*
to-guard against explosion of high
pressure boilers is needed. The
high pressure boiler is as potential
ly danerous as TNT, the committee
declares.

is a car invented in Germany to be

cut weeds from railroad tracks.

TYPHOIDS LOW DEATH RATE
NEW YORK, (By Mai])—Control
of typhoid fever has made such
progress that in 1922 the death rate
for this disease was the lowest ever
recorded, according to figures com
piled by the Metropolitan Life In
surance Company.
Based on statistics from one-sev
enth of the total population of the
United States and Canada, the death
rate in the year mentioned was 5.6
per 100,000 of population. Ln 1911
the rate was 22.8 per 100,000.
These figures are particularly
cheering to the American Child
Healatb Asociation, which is engaged
in fighting typhoid as well as other
diseases which affect children and
mothers.

A. E. C. Storekeeper, spent yester- j

HAWAII WILL FIGHT FOR
RIGHTS AS U. S. TERRITORY
HONOLULU, (By Mail)—A con-1
certed campaign to obtain recogni
tion of Hawaii’s status as a territory
and its rights to the benefits and
priveleges enjoyed by states, as set
forth in the measure adopted by the
recent legislature, which is known
as “Hawaii's Bill of Rights,” is be
ing waged by Govern >r Walace R.
Farrington and other territorial of
ficials.
The territorial government is mail
ing to the governors of all of the
states and to each member of Con
gress a copy of the “Bill cf Rights”
which was approved April 26. A
letter requesting aid in obtaining the
recognition sought accompanies each
copy.
“The bill, containing 16 printed
pages, reviews the history of the is
lands from 1853, when annexation
to the United State* was considered
for the first time, until the present
day.
“This declaration and its method
of promulgation are extraordinary
unique in the history of legislation,”
the document says. “The reason for
this procedure is that an extraordin
ary and critical situation faces Haw
aii—one unique in history.”
“For a quarter of a century Haw
aii has occupied the legal status of
full and complete political union
with the United States as an integral
part thereof, but a misunderstanding
appears to exist in the congress and
in some of the executive depart
ments of the federal government as
to the status, which has at times re
volted in the classification or treat
ment of Hawaii as if it were an
“insular possession” in a derogatory
manner to the dignity of this terri
tory.”
VIENNESE TOO POOR TO
PAY THE DOCTORS’ FEES
VIENNA, (By Mail)—Hundreds
of doctors, these days in Vienna are
having a hard time keeping them
selves alive. The people cannot af
ford their fees, wthich are 10,000
crowns, or 15 cents, for a visit.
Many physicians’ families get meat
only once a month ar.d live chiefly
on bread and potatoes.
Ninety percent of :he people in
\ ienna belong to sick benefit asso
ciations, and seek the help of an
outside doctor an!y as a last re
source. Furthermore few foreigners
come nowadays to Vienna in quest
of medical aid. The home doctors
discourage, them taking the journey
representing the local facilities for
cures as good as anything to be had
in Austria. It is evident the local
practitioner does not want fees to
slip through his fingers for the ben
efit of the profession in another
country.

PREMIER BALDWIN FINDS
PUBLICITY NEW EXPERIENCE
LONDON, (By Mail)— Stanley
Baldwin, Britain’s new pilot of the
Ship of State, has won the admira
tion and good will of all classes by
lis simple, unostentatious manner
»nd his outstanding popularity among
the British and American newspaper
men. who have found him approach
able and unfailingly courteous. He
tias none of the aloofness, the sup
erior manner or severe pride of po
sition which one is apt to associate
with prime ministers.
The journalists' fondness for the
premier is reciprocated by Mr. Bald
win, for he realizes triat his sudden
rise to fame is due in no small mea
sure to the sympathetic attitude
adopted by them toward him.
At a recent banquet given by the
British newspaper men in his honor,
Mr. Baldwin said: “I am conscious
more than ever liow the creation
af a reputation really is your prero
rarive and your prerogative alone.
Whatever reputation 1 may have
today I beg to thank you for it from
the bottom of my heart.”
The prime minister referred to
■ome of the remarkable qualities
attributed by the American and
Britsh newspapers to him, which he
;aid it was impossible to live up to.
‘‘I have noticed in my brief ca
reer in public life,” he said, "that
some men like the limelight and
iome do not. I have always found
hat wherever the limelight is bright
est there is always a corresponding
plack shadow close to it, and I have
Hitherto been able to s:ep into that
■badow whenever the limelight was
:umed on. But I find now that I
rannot escape it. 1 fee! very much
ike a small insect under a miscro
scope. Everything that I do or think
ir say is laid bare.
“I notice lately that certain per
severing papers have succeeded in
dragging from obscurity my fathers’
roachman and my old nurse. I am
hankful to say that the revelations
hey have succeeded in dragging
from them are such as not to blast
my career yet. I have read the most
imazing things about myself, pro
ficiency in arts to which I have
never aspired, and ignorance of some
things of which I thought I had
some knowledge. The unkindest cut
if all was in the Nation, where
>omeone said my schoolmaster told
me 1 had no brains.”
- AR AWAY BORNEO OFFERS
EASY AND CHEAP LIVING
LONDON, (By Mail)—British
V’orth Borneo appears to be as near
jaradise as it is possible for the
tax burdened n^an of today to get.
No income tax is collected in the
iistrict. There is only a nominal
and tax, railway fares have not
>een increased since 1911, tobacco
s cheaper than in any other place
#the world, chickens sell for a shil
ing apiece and whiskey for eight
hilling? a bottle.
These facts are not taken from
.he circulars of a colonization agent
>ut are found in the official report
>f the British government authori
ses in the district.
Incidently the report says the na
ivs have given up their old habit
