USEFUL PORTABLE LAVATORY Question of Washing Hands After Making Necessary Repairs Solved by Cincinnati Man, Often it happens that motorists are bliged to stop and repalr their ears far from any available water supply. and then It is a question of washing their hands. Annoying, often, But Edgar 8. Curtiss of Cincinnati has devised a portable lavatory, which, having the outward appearance of a suitcase, may readily be put to use In mech an emergency. Half of it is a water tank; the other half is a basin. All that Is necessary is to open It and turn a tap. A small box with a water-tight lid, to contain a cake of soap, Is mounted on the tank, which is also provided with a spring clamp to hold a towel, Thus the motorist ean wash his hands at a moment's notice, dry them, empty the basin by unscrewing a cap which closes the outlet and so go on his way rejoicing.

Studies have been conducted by the weather bureau, United States Department of Agricul. ture, to determine the influence of the westher on the yield of potatoes, corn, oats and cotton. The effort has been to show the kind of weather that has the greatest Influence in varying yield of a crop, as well as the most crith cal period of growth. There is a pos sibility, many believe, that the yield of several Important crops may be predicted considerably before harvest ing time from a knowledge of ante- cedent weather conditions. The wenth- er must be taken into sccount up to sbout the harvest date for oats, but the probable yleid for corn can be de- termined by the end of July and of cotton at the end of June in the east ern part of the belt TIMBER GROWING DRAWBACK One of the Greatest Handicaps is De. terrent Effect of Property Tax Levied on Land, the yields One of the greatest drawbacks upon timber growing in the United States is the deterrent effect of the property tax levied year after year upon land bearing young trees, says the forest gervice, United States Department of Agriculture, What is needed Is a sys tem of taxing growing forests under which the principal burden will fall at the time of harvesting the matured crop but which Is so adjusted as to equitable to other classes of taxpayers and to meet the needs for revenue. i i LIKE NEW MAN Portland Citizen Detiares Tan- lac Completely Overcame Stomach Troubles.
