I I . '3 District Game Warden C. N. Mease of Black Mountain was here Tues day night with three deer for the AVayah Bald Game refuge. These make a total fo 12 deer that have been turned loose on the refuee. Mr Mease stated that he will be back later in the week with three more In connection with the refuges un der his administration Mr. Mease stated that there has not been single creature killed on either of the refuges since they were established He further stated that the state has purchased 1,000 turkeys to be released on the game refuges. A number of these turkeys will .be turned loose on Wayah. The state will also procure more Mexican quail for Macon and other counties. Mr. Mease stated thaH the state has also purchased twenty head of elk now on Hooper Jiald in Graham county and tnat these animals will be distributed s to the game refuges in this section of the state. It is expected that a few will be brought to Macon county, though there is no definite assurance "to this effect. The men on Burningtown -who recently rescued a deer from the dogs have received a letter of thanks and commendation from Mr Mease. While here he took occasion to compliment the citizens of Macon county for the manner in which they are co-operating lwtn me auinonues in the protection of game. .Lighting the Farm Home (By W. C. Brown and M. S. Meaker, Engineering Department, National Lamp Work of . General Elec- ; . trie Company) Five brief years ago America's mil lions of farms were truly in the dark. Today the power lines have been ex tended to nearly half a million farms, and have brought a source of light so superior to anything before avail able that it is raising the entire stand ard of living on the farm. All this change has taken place in a very short time, and it is to be expected that many of the homes equipped with electric lighting are still left "in the dark" as to how to use the new type of illumination to their best advantage irom tne stand point of economy and comfort. The house had been wired with only a ceiling outlet in each room. A 60 watt lamp hung from a drop-cord in the center of the room. Void of any sort of shade, it intruded its glar ing . unsoftened rays of light into every corner of the room. The home owner was right it was not a light to read by. Dark sfyd ows followed one's every move, and the bright light source in the line as to the cost, for he was not getting in a usable form the light he paid for. Fortunately such lighting is com paratively rare. Most of us would smile at the thought of expecting comfort from such an arrangement; yet there are other mistakes sub tracting from the comfort of many living rooms that at first glance we might say were well lighted. Lamps Without Shades Most of the old types of ceiling fixtures were designed without shades for the lamps, and too frequently we still see unshaded shower or candle fixtures in the living room.' Unshaded light is always annoying and harm ful to the eyes. The ceiling fixture is very useful when a number of peo ple are gathered in a room, as for a party, and there are on the market beautiful fixtures with shades to di rect the light and shield the lamps from the eyes. The shower fixture is hung close to the, ceiling and equipped with four to six lamps. For this fixture, shades of glass, parchment, or silk are avail able. smaller across the bottom than at the top, are desiraWe because they shield the lamos most effectively. With a hieh ceiline. the candle fixture may be used with good results., for eith er of these fixtures, 40-watt or 5U- watt inside-frosted lamps are recom mended. Another tvne of ceiling fixture di- rects most of the light toward the ceiling, from whence it is reflected downward as soft, comfortable gen eral illumination. There are on the market a number of ceiling fixtures emDoaying mis pontic ui umucv-i lghting. As a reaction, from the old types of ceiling fixtures, with unshaded amps, home owners turned to tne portable lamp. And many of th parlv nortable lamrs were equipped with heavy dark silk shades in the effort to provide "subdued" light. Dark shades, closed at the top, ab sorb and waste a good portion ot the ight from the lamp bulb within, ana supply the desired downward lili for reading. Next in line in the illustration is an ordinary floor lamp; then a goo bridge lamp, and a floor lamp o new design with an entirely downward distribution of light. The table lamp on the left is "indirect" as may b seen by the upward spread of light on the curtain in the background. Ford's Fine Workmanship A million axle shafts, each one ex actly like the other 999,999 within one thousandth of an inch four million pistons fitting four million cylinders with .a degree of exactness that all but staggers the imagination many more millions of drilled and threeaded holes, all placed with an accuracy of location that is incomprehensible to any but the mechanically or mathe matically minded and all these fac tors, combined with other millions of parts manufactured in widely separat ed units of a gigantic plant, meeting on an assembly line -to fashion a million automobiles! This is the mir acle that is modern mass production, the miracle that was conjured up by Mr. irlenry ford when he started his first automobile assembly line The story of how it is possible to make a million or ten million, or twenty million, for that mattter of any machine part, each one identical with all its fellows, is a story of Shades that are somewhat measurements. Just ass that story of the Ford Motor company to produce fifteen million . Model T automobiles, it also explains Mr. Ford's ability to produce the Model A in the same plants and by the same methods that made possible the pioneer Ford cars, yet at limits that are from 1-4 to 1-2 what they were on the Model T. today, in the Detroit plants, - me chanics who have never looked through the eye-piece of a microscope are- measauring within limits too fine for any unaided eye to see. Model A parts machined to within one ten thousandth part of an inch accuracy are all in the day's work. Back of this precision are something like a million gages that must be kept in correct adjustment at all times, and many thousands of these gages are in constant u se throughout the Ford plants. There is no time for hand fitting of inaccurate parts on the as sembly line. They must either fit the first time or they are valueless. rr?

Only last week a resident of av small town was heard to remark; "Well, I'd 'rather have-a-Bood --old kerosene lamp to read by than the electric lighting in our living. room! I pay, 15c a kilowatt hour for that, and I don't think I have much then." " One look into his living room ex plained his outburst perfectly. The encourages uncomfortable reading po- sitions and eyestrain. And a shadP that is too thin is almost as bad as no shade at all. Too often we see the wrong qualities combined in r nortahlp lamn. : Choose the Livinfr Room Portables Carefully mn should be chosen with reference to where it will b used. A good floor lamp, equipped with two bulbs and an open-top snacie, will do several lighting jobs at once. Through the open top of the shade, it will give a flood of light for its corner of the room, and the distribu tion of downward light -way be such as to serve a chair on one side and the end of a davenport on the other side. Be sure that the shade is ad justed so that the lamps will not shine into the eyes of anyone sitting by the lamp to read. A good way to be sure on this point is to place a floor lamp at one side of the chair and' slightly behind it. A bridge lamp is very practical for use at the living room desk where father does his farm accounting and tVip ame 1-imn mav be moved slight ly to serve a comfortable chair or the sewing, machine. The distribution of light given by a table lamp is governed by its height, the location of the lamp bulbs inside. and the 4epth of the shade. Tlv shade should be deep enough to -con -real the lisrht source from the view of one sitting in a ' chair beside the table, but the lamp bulbs should be ?n- nlaced inside the shade as to give a good wide distribution of light for reading. . , A. group of portable' lamps or goou design.

In one type of "indirect" ward to give general illumination in portable lamp this bowl is designed to send a . certain amount of .well- diffused light downward for reading. Another type has a mirrored glass bowl that sends all of the light up ward, so it is equipped with two ad ditional lamps beneath the bowl to witrTeVery s peafieelJ'dimensToh cor rect.

With thous ands of the new Chevrolet sixes daily being placed in the hands of owners, Chevrolet Motor company announced officially here yesterday that pro duction for the first ten and a half months of 1923 equalled 1,200,000 units. This figure, it was said, rep resented an increase of 180,000 units over 1927, the best previous year. Month after month of last year found Chevrolet shattering all form er production marks. Its all time record for monthly output occurred in May, when 140,775 units were pro duced. May stood out in the Chev rolet calendar also because it in eluded the greatest single day's out put in the company's 16 years of his tory. Seven thousand and seventy- five cars and trucks, completely fin ished, rolled off Chevrolet assembly lines May 28. Coincident with the announcement of 1928 production figures, Chevrolet officials at the New York Automobile Show last week, were viewing with interest the continued enthusiasm that the crowds bestowed on the new sixes, Several ranking officials reiterated the statement made a few wcekfc ago bv W. S. Knudscn, president, that 1929 production would equal ai icabi 1.250.000 un ts. One ot the sauem tributes paid Chevrolet by visiting nntnmteh e men at the show invoiveu the company's remarkable evolution rom four cylinder to siv cyunuer ntwhirtinn in the short space ot a few weeks. Today all nine of Chcy--iote ascpmhlv nlants are rapidly adjusting themselves to take care of peak schedules. For the fourth time in as many years the sales department of Chev rlet at this time is sponsoring its annual series of nationwide sales meetr ings. The first of the series, which will be extended to include 35 cities, opened yesterday in New York. Three crews, each composed of five men, ah factory executives, will conduct the meetings. It is the purpose of the meetings to enable the Chevrolet dealer organization, numbering over 10,000 dealers, to hear from the lips of the company's sales heads the com- more favorably with crop far: .." . were determined as two hnicrzlU:z. needs. County organizations of farri ers which would follow the dcfinlls five-year program of development was also decided upon. Dean I. C. Sclia of the school of agriculture was re quested to prepare such a program for the action of the commission. In this program, the committee wishes to have more co-operation from the State Bankers' association, more information about farm management and farm budgeting and facts about economic production. The committee expects to make a full report along these lines to the advisory board when it meets at the call of the gov ernor. The committee also recom mended that a tobacco farmer be add ed to the board. 666 is a Prescription for Colds, Grippe, Flu, Dengue, Bilious Fever and Malaria It is the most speedy remedy known.

But these gages will wear or get silghtly out of ad justment under constant use, there fore, they must be constantly watch ed. ' So behind them must be master gages, of greater accuracy, for use as standards. These master gages, the product of the C. E. Johnasson Di vision of the Ford Motor company are accurate within a millionth part of an inch. Throughout the. Ford plants inspec tors are moving constantly, each with special hardened, ground and lapped rectangular steel blocks Johansson gages. These gage blocks are in spe cial sizes to meet requirements of the workman's scrutiny; making it un necessary for inspectors to make up combinations to measure different di mensions of length. A set of 81 gage blocks, such as' is used in the tool rooms, can be combined to meas ure 120,000 different size lengths, from three-sixteenths inch to over twlevc inches, , and each of the 120,000 com bination gages represent a variation of one ten-thousandth part of an inch. On some operations where the lim its arc close, the gages arc. changed every two to four hours to correct a wear of one ten-thousandth part of an ' inch . which . Occurs, in that time. Others are adjusted or changed at less frequent intervals, as frequency of use and amount of wear dictates. In addition to their use in the pro duction of Ford cars, trucks, airplanes and Lincoln automobiles, the Johans son gage blocks are the standard of the world for industrial precision measurement of length'.

More funds for research with cotton, a county agent in each county with a sup porting board of agriculture, better sppds more livestock, and a definite five-year program of agricultural ad vancement are some ot the pertinent suggestions - that the . executive com mittee will recommend to the full agricultural, advisory board when it meets at the call of Governor Gard ner after his inauguration. This executive committee of the board met in the offices of the Commissioner of Agriculture on Jan uary first at the call of the chair man, Dr. E. C. Brooks.

Gates of Mebane, Thurman Chatham of Winston-Salem, and Dr. Clarence Poe of the Pro gressive Farmer. Dr. Carl C. Taylor also attended as an invited guest. At the governor's suggestion, the advisability of using the surplus ware house fund amounting to about $500. 0()0 for research work with cotton wac discussed and a ruling was requested from the attorney general. .
