GREAT COAL SAVING OF 50,000,
000 TONS BY ELECTRIFICA-
TION.
Secretary Fall has submitted to
President Harding, “as a contribution
of the Department of the Interior to
the common welfare,” the analysis
made by the geological survey of a
comprehensive system for generating
and distributing electricity to trans-
portation lines and industries in the
north Atlantic coast region between
Boston and Washington. The survey
was authorized by Congress.
The engineers who made the survey
reported that 970 miles of 220,000-
volt lines and five times that mileage
in 119,000-volt lines would be needed.
The 1200 miles of wire now carry-
ing 33,000 volts and more would be
operated as simple distribution lines
for local industries.
This transmission net work and its
substations would require $104,000,-
000 by 1930, the report said, in which
year the total investment would be
$1,110,504,000.
Electrification of the Boston-Wash-
ington area, according to the report,
would save fifty million tons of coal
annually by 1930, or $190,000,000 in
fuel expenditures, and electrification
of the railroads would save 11 to 19
per cent. on their investment.
“The question of railroad electrifi-
cation,” it continues, “must be decided
according to density of traffic, and so
it is that of the 36,000 miles of line,
yards and sidings in this superpower
zone only about 19,000 miles could be
electrified profitably. This electrifi-
cation would cost nearly $500,000,000,
but it would save from 11 to 19 per
cent. on the investment, or an average
of 14 per cent.
“Electrification is the next step in
railroad expansion absolutely neces-
sary to increase both the capacity and
the efficiency of our transportation
system. Incidentally, the annual sav-
ings of 12,000,000 tons of coal by the
railroads would greatly increase the
available car supply.
«The North Atlantic coast region,
to which it is proposed to supply more
and cheaper electric current, was se-
lected for this, study, because its in-
dustries and railroads have the max-
imum requirements for power. Uu-
fortunately, this region is not blessed
with the abundance of water power
that is possessed by the Pacific coast
States, so that the plan of power pro-
duction includes large steam plants at
tidewater or on rivers large enough to
furnish sufficient condensing water
and hydro-electric power plants
wherever they can be economically
built on the rivers, within the zone or
within transmission distance of it.
“After 1930, cheap power from the
proposed St. Lawrence improvement
and from additional capacity at Niag-
ara Falls may be available for west-
ern New England and New York
State, which will benefit greatly by
the development of these new sources
of energy.”
The success of the government's
study, Mr. Fall said, was due to “the
hearty co-operation of the engineer-
ing profession and of all the indus-
tries affected by the proposed larger
electrification.” W. S. Murray, of
New York, was chief of the engineer-
ign staff, with an advisory board of
business men representing the rail-
roads and industries interested. —Ex.
PUMPED AIR IN A WHALE.
Compressed air is playing a very
important part in the whaling indus-
try at the present time.
‘After a whale is captured compress-
ed air is used to make it float, each
whale being equipped with an air
compressor. The whale is tied along-
side the ship and a four-foot spear is
plunged into it. This spear is very
sharp at the end and is provided with
perforations through which the air es-
capes. At the butt of the spear there
is attached a compressed air hose.
About two inches back of this hose
there is attached a heavy rope. The
hose is about 100 feet in length.
After this spear has been rammed
into the whale the creature is pump-
ed up to a pressure of about eighty
inches, which makes it float like a
rubber ball. The spear is then with-
drawn and the hole plugged up with
oakum. It requires only three or four
minutes to deliver sufficient air with-
in the whale to make it float.
mounted on the carcass while the
steamer leaves in the pursuit of
another whale.
The whaling industry at the pres-
ent time is so different from the old
industry that almost the only point of
resemblance is that it deals with
whales. Its operations, its products,
its whole point of view is vastly dif-
ferent.
The new whaling is based on the
utilization of the entire carcass, of
fishing in shore waters, on a sytsem
of capture far more certain than that
of the old days, and on bringing the
entire whale to be cut up and process-
ed at the factory.
From the carcass
not only oil for which the soap indus-
try has provided a new market, but
fertilizers of first rate quality, bone
meat and whale meat, besides other
commodities; so nothing is wasted.

STATE TO OBSERVE
TUBERCULOSIS DAY

Health Stories in Schools Dec.
g and Talks in Churches
Dec. 11.
Harrisburg, Pa—In connection with
the 1921 Christmas Seal Gale in Penn-
sylvania, tuberculosis day will be ob-
served in the schools on Friday, De-
cember 9th, and tuberculesis day in
the churches on Sunday, December
11th. Governor Sproul in voicing ap-
proval of these tuberculosts days said:
“Most of the states of the Union,
in connection with the fourteenth an-
nual tuberculosis Christmas Seal Sale,
and in accordance with the suggestion
of the National Health Council in co-
operation with Rotary Clubs, will ob-
serve the week of December 5th to
11th, inclusive as health week, with
special emphasis on Friday, December
9th, as tuberculosis day in the schools
and Sunday, December 11th, as iu
berculosis day in the churches.
awakened com-
In
line with the newly
munity interest in health work
throughout Pennsylvania, it is espe-
cially fitting that these days be so
marked in this state.
“One of the most encouraging fea-
tures of the efforts being carried on
by Penns-lvania health workers is
the cagerness and deep interest shown
by children in the rules for good
hea:th. Such children will be a mighty
factor in the improvement of our pub-
lis health in the future.”
In the schools on December 9th
teachers will give to their children
stories and instruction on tubercu-
losis. On Sunday, December 11th, in
the churches pastors ar laymen and
Sunday school superintendents and
teachers will speak on the duty of the
individual toward tuberculosis, a pre-
ventable disease which kills more
than nine thousand Pennsylvanians
avery year.
Seal Sale Opened
By the Governor
Harrisburg, Pa—Governor Sproul
opened the fourteenth annual Christ-
mas Seal Sale in Pennsylvania by the
purchase of the first Seals. The sales-
men were two Harrisburg children,
Mildred A. Schampan and Webster
Lewis, who visited the governor in
the capital dresseC as Knight Ban-
neretts of the Modern Health Cru- |
sade.
«] intend in every way possible to
help this campaign, “said the Gov-
ernor.. “It is an inspiring sight to
see you children dresscd as knights
looking so healthy and happy because
you have followed the rules of the
health game.”
The Governor paid two cents apiece
for the Seals he bought, although the
regular price is a penny apiece.
The children’s costumes were white
with cape and Crusader helmet. On
the helmet and the cape appeared In
red the double barred cross, emblem
of the agencies fighting tuberculosis.
The boy recited the first half and the
girl the other half of the following
rhyme:
