With Your Fuses
"Mary, didn't you like the phy-
I k e class today?"
"Oh, it was all right. John, look
at the lovely colbre in that cloud."
"Electricity is a wonderful thing,
brut we have to learn how to use it
right."
Jahn, let's go for a drive tonight
down by the river."
"O.K. Now, as we learned today,
you have to have right size fuses
fn each circuit or you might burn
out the equipment or cause a fire
I'1] bet a lot of fires are caused by
using the wrong fuse."
"Oh, bother!"
"What? No, it isn't much bother.
Just use 15 -amp fuses for all light
circuits and check with the elec-
trician on other circuits. I'm going
to check on our fuses tonight,"
"Oh, John, how about our ride?"
"We'll take a ride after I check
on the fuses and do the chores."
When John reached home, he
asked his mother if the fuses in
their light circuits were the right
size.
"1 suppose so. They haven't
burned out for several years."
"That may mean they are too
large."
"Don't worry. They did burn
out several times a year or two ago,
but Dad got some new ones. He
said they wouldn't burn out."
"I remember that. I'm going to
check on them now." John ran out
to the back porch where the fuse
box was. He opened the box.
"Tlhe circuits are marked. That
helps. Let's see now: Here's the
electric range. Wheel That's 35
amps. I'll have to check with the
electrician an that once.
"Now for the light circuits.
Gosh! They are 30 amps. No
wonder they never blew out."
John pulled the main switch,
I'm going to look at the wiring
here in tlhe wall." The wall on the
porch was part of a cabinet, with
the light circuit wires going across
the back—but easily seen when the
cabinet doors were open.
As John took hold of one of the
wires, the insulation crumbled and
a section of bare topper wire shone
Though,
No, there bad been no fire in
John's home. But one could have
started any time. It's impossible
to say just when over -fusing will
eause a fire. That depends on the
amount of the overload carried in
the wire and the frequency of that
overload.
But it is well to remember that
a fire could start even at the time
of the first overload. Usually, how-
ever, it doesn't happen right away.
So you figure the large fuse is Bate
enough to use a little longer. After
4hat, you decide all the worry over
fuses is poppycock—and the large
fuse is there to stay.
There is just one rule on fuses
for light circuits. Always use fuses
of 15 amperes ar less.
Color In The
Bahama Islands
In the Bahamas is color of a
magnificence unequalled elsewhere.
The St. Lawrence River is mighty
with its autumn -clad banks; Egypt
is roofed with mother-of-pearl, and
the Mediterranean is blue. But all
these tones and tints are to be found
in the Bahamas and a thousand
morel Color in these islands never
ceases its outpouring. Sky, flower,
sea and fish are now flaming, now
delicate, now bold, now soft in col-
oring. Even the houses are washed
in salmons, grays, creams and pinks.
The roads are white .. .
!."oder closer examination, the
details of the picture prove as
richly painted as the whole, Among
the birds, the tall flamingo is feath-
ered rose, and the humming birds
are t•ameos of irridiscence. A score
of butterflies caper down each gar-
den lane, the most conspicuous clad
in yellow silk with black facings.
That large tree, the Pride of India,
becomes a cloud of lavender poised
..Dove a lawn, when in flower. The
frangipani has enamel leaves and
slink, windmill blossoms. The cro-
ton has orange leaves; the bougain-
villea is a shawl of purple wherever
5t clings and the corallita a veil of
rove. Honeysuckle, jessamine, night
blooming cereus, morning glory,
passion flower, each mingle color
end fragrancein its turn, and in
sone gardens poinsettias grow,
—be limestone cays of the Ba-
hamas are fringed with coral reefs
and shoals. These rest upon white
sand under water orystal clear, So
transparent is the sea that a penny
sould be discerned under 10 fath-
oms. The sun, caressing the waters,
weaves them into strands of em-
erald, ochre, mauve and blue, From'
the brown coral heaps rise sea
flans, some yellow and others pur-
ple, Among the coral swim Ash fan-
tastically hued. A parrot fish has
green teeth sand its body is plum
and blue-green; the cow -pilot has
black' and yellow bands; one grunt
alas blue and gold stripes and an-
other is covered with blue and yel-
low lines, Other fish may pass, ver•
si illion units, or blue, or green.
Such is the gift of color which
the Bahamas contribute to the
beauty and culture of this planet,
It was as 1f Borne apecimett of each

Short Shorthorn—Gene Holter shows off Ferdinand, one of the
herd of dwarf cattle he found in a secret "lost canyon" near
_Jamestown, N.D. Ferdinand is 28 inches high and weighs
225 pounds. Veterinarians say he's a perfect dwarf Hereford,
about two years old. At that age, Ferdinand should be an
excellent source of minute steaks and short ribs.
THEFARM FOM
When people drive past your
farm today, they might say, "That's
the Soanso place. Best farm in the
county," But did you ever wonder
what they'll be saying about it 10
or 15 years from now?
* * *
Recently, the editors of Wallaces'
Farmer, published in Iowa, have
been looking over a number of
places that once were considered
the "best farms in their comenuni-
'ties." This is what they report—
"Borne of them look terrible nowt
Buildings are run down. Soil la
getting thin, Often, there is a one-
year tenant on the place."
* * *
What happened? Did a to:ne.y
strike or a drought hitt Nc. Did
low prices wipe out the opera -sr?
No, prices have been good.
All that happened was this. The
farmer who owned the place held
on to it until his death. Then it was
divided among several children.
• *
That is the customary way for
farm operators to handle their prop-
erty. It also—in some cases—is a
good way to ruin a good farm.
Take John X,,for example. We
don't dare call names and counties
in a case like this, But John is like
a dozen other farmers we know.
John died in 1928. One of his
boys bought out the two girls and
the other son, That started the
boy on the farm with a heavy
mortgage.
He lost the place in 1932. The
farm has been rented since. The
community has lost a first-rate
fasin family. The farm itself has
gone downhill.
John's boy, now farming else-
wlhere, and getting along, had a
hard time getting over his hart start.
Bucky's 13ack . ,an 1ey
"Bucky" Harris smiles broadly
as he signs a three-year con-
tract in Washington to manage
the Washington Senators base-
ball team, It will be the third
time as the Senators' manager
for Bucky, whose most recent
job was with San Diego in the
Pacific Coast League,
Are there better ways to handle
the job of passing on a farm from
one generation to the next? We
think so.
There are two major points to
watch: -
1. Get the settlement made early
so that everybody will know how
things are going to work out. Don't
leave it to the executor of your
estate. He's no smarter than you
are.
2. In any disposition of the farm,
use ar. appraisal based on 30 -year
average yields and prices, Don't put
ar infiate: ..-sate on the place.
layi.e John X, 6c, calls the four
children in. and says: "Your me
and I art going to quit farming.
I've had the farm appraised. If
prices to next 30 years average
out the way they have been the last
30 year;. it's :north about 820.100.
We'll sell for that. Who warts it
10 live on'
If only one of the ::ii; ren warts
the farm, that makes it easy. If
two. want it, they may have to
match coins. But don't split it up
unless it is plainly too big. If it is
a good working unit naw, leave it
that way.
What terms? John X goes on:
"I'll sell the machinery and live
stock for cash. You can have the
place on contract. I'll make you a
rate of interest just a little below
the land bank rate.
"But you'll have to keep books
and pay me one-half of the net in-
come of the farm each year. That
applies on the principal and interest.
"If you have a bad year, your
payment will be cut down accord-
ingly, And I'll have to draw on
my bonds to get along. But you
won't be wrecked by heavy pay-
ments.in a bad year."
r * *
It might be still better if John
X, at 50, has his boy coming to
work the farm on shares, And for
John to say then:
"Fifteen years from now, I71
probably retire. When I do, this
Is the kind of deal I want to make
with you. And I'll fix my will so
that if anything happens to mc,
that deal will start at once."
0 * *
It's hard to ask outright. about
things like this, A boy can't say,
"Pop, some day you'll be hauled off
by the undertaker. What happens
to me and the fares then?"
Yet a boy, working on the home
farm, has a right to know wheat's
ahead. Definite plans should be
made for disposition of the farm
when the father quits or dies,
All amen are born equal. How
they finish depends' on what they're
equal to.

More and more it is coming to
look as though the honeymoon is
definitely over so far as sports pro-
motion in the United States is con-
cerned. Of course fight gates have
been "off" .for many months; but
that was put down, by sports writ-
ers and other "experts" as largely
due to the sad lack of colorful and
reasonably workmanlike leather
heavers, especially in the "heavy-
weight division,
* * *
But now the folks who set in
cash at the box -offices are staying
away from football—both the col-
lege and honestly professional var-
ieties—in increasingly large and
painful quantities, Stadion sellouts,
which were the rule during wartime
and immediately post-wartitlte days,
are the exception now. In sport, as
in many other lines of trade, they're
having a buyer's rather than a sell-
er's market. And the colleges and
promoters who went clean over-
board building huge arenas and vast
stadiums are beginning to worry
more than a trifle.
k V *
Take the l: nieersity of Pennsyl-
vania, for example. In Franklin
Field, Penn has one of the biggest
stadiums in the States, seating more
than 78,000. Last fall they had sell-
outs for practically every home
game, with a total attendance of
over 460,000 in seven contests. Their
first two opponents this season were
Dartmouth and Columbia, both gen-
erally big drawing cards. Yet in
the two games the paying clients
numbered only around 70,000 all
told. And that with a winning team!
* * *
This is merely one example, taken
from many; and the reason we reten-
tion it is not because we think that
both our readers are especially in-
terested in United States football,
but because sports trends here have
a way of following those south of
the border. What is happening there
is liable to be duplicated, before too
long, right here. When that day
conies, the reactions of certain pro-
moters, in danger now of becom-
ing round-shouldered from patting
themselves on the back, will be
worth watching. And hearing.
From the first we have contended
that major league hockey was more
or less smacking easy -to -please cus-
tomers in the face by cutting out
the overtime, and allowing teams to
settle for a draw. But, "Just look
at the sellout crowds and mobs beg-
ging for tickets" was the only reply
we ever got.
* * *
Well, as already stated, what hap-
pens in the States can, and frequent-
ly does, occur right here. And if
certain hockey bazzaars should
some day be begging for patronage,
instead of turning it more or less
politely away, in our opinion the
tie -game farce will have had no
little to do with bringing about such
a condition,
• * *
The National 'Hockey League
season is still young, As we pound
out these lines a total of twenty-six
games have been played. And of
those twenty-six, exactly ten—al-
most forty per cent—have ended in
draws.
* * *
Boxing bouts used to be—perhaps
still are — advertised with a line
reading something like FIFTEEN
ROUNDS TO A DECISION,

If things keep up as they are
going, we suggest that professional
hockey games ahould be billed
