A Bulletin He states that the Quilt he has adopted consists of an extremely flexible lneurated resistance wire Introduced between two layeis of fabilc so as to form a Hshf and comfortable bed coveting which Is speedily warmed to the lequued tempei aturo at a low consumption of electilclty. Of the two layeis of fabrio the inner Is made of a heat conducting substance, so that the heat Is readily tians mltted to tho patient, while the outer layer is non conductinj so as to conserve the maximum of heat With a supply at 115 volts or less tho quilt can bo connected diiectly to a plug br lamo holder, but with higher pressuio a small transfoimer or resistance is necessaiy. These quilts at first were used simply as a means of supplying warmth to consumptive cases sleeping out of doois or in shelters Later th.e quilts were used in the fever watds. and It was found that by the supei position of one or more blankets, according to the room temperature, a bed temperature of 90 degrees could be attalrfed in less than half an hour and maintained without appreciable fluctuation for an indefinite period. ELECTRICAL DRIVE FOR THE WAR SHIP According to disclosures made to the house committee on naval affairs by Josephus Daniels, secretary of the navy, all new capital ships of the American navy will be equipped with electno propelling machinery The latest dreadnought, the Xew Mexico, is so equipped, and the tests made seem to show that it is a wonderful success.

Women Work in Electric Trades An artlclo which points out not only the feasibility but tho desirability of women at mechanical tiades in Industrial plants was piinted in the December, 1918. issuo of The Travelers Standard, a monthly publication issued by Tho Travelers Insurance company of Hsrtford, Conn. Tho great increase in the employment of women due to war conditions is bi ought out, and tho statement is made that owing to many conditions it Is piobablo that It will be a long time before conditions become normal enough, to make any treat difference In the number of women employed. Proper consideration of tho limitations of women, methods of selection by the employment office, thorough training, suitable Uniforms, proper supervision and hours of labor, are some of the important subjocts brought Dut in the artlclo as woithy of the employer's deepest study.

realizing that many men would return from war blinded, some time ago set out to find a way In which thoy would be able to compete on an footing with other workers There were many occupations, but none removed from the taint of charity In looking over the factory, Dr. Wheeler found that there was one place in electrical manufacturing where the blind could be as efficient workers as those who have their sight armature winding This work requires deft fingers and great care in winding the colls, and the blind are peculiarly adapted to it by their sensitive touch and caution As the demand for these colls is Inexhaustible, there will always be a open for the blind to become self supporting and independent FUTURE OF ELECTRIC STEEL VERY BRIGHT Dr. John A. Mathews, president of tho Holcornb Steel company, Syracuse, N. in a paper on the Future of Electilc Steel, presented lecently befoij tho American Electi ocheinical society, pointed out that wo are In our thirteenth year in the manufacture of electric steel.

In automobile and. airplane construction, and in many other ways, ho said, that oleotric stool has given a splendid account of itself. Electric steel may well be called "super steel." It has had the indirect effect of stimulating better production on the part of open hearth and Bessemer steel makers, and thus It may bo considered as a beneficial acquisition to tho entire steel industry. Easily oxidizing metals, like vanadium, chromium and manganese are readily handled in the electric furnace, and hence le3s of them need bo to give a final minimum content in th.e steel Less of tho oxides of these metals will be pioduced in the steel and therefore less of those oxides need be lemoved Sulphur and phosphorous can bo readily eliminated. With the electilc furnace, alloy steels aro made In the furnace Itself rather than in tho ladle, and in this there is bettor opportunity for mci easing the solution, diffusion and homogeneity in the product field for electric steel In the future Is a very promising one and when its merits are fully recognized new uses for it will Results of comparative tests of coal, wood and electricity for cooking as conducted recently at the State college of Washington, show the following costs per week of each fuel In each case three meals a day were cooked for a number of woeki with coal at $11 per ton, the cost per week was 88 5 cents; with wood (fir at $11 per cotd, S3 0 cents per week; with electricity at 3 85 cents per kw hr S6 5 cents cer week.
