’Orientation*— Keeping
Face Toward Rising Sun
Orientation is an architectural
term which ir"particularly applied
to ecclesiaatical’Ttochitecture. From
antiquity religious ceremonies have
been performed at dawn, facing the
rising sun. The belief in the effi-
cacy of this Influenced the orlenta-
tioii of temples and other religious
structures so that they faced the
east. The early Christian basilica*
were built to face the east and this
tradition has persisted, although it
was followed less frequently in
France and Italy than In other Eu-
ropean countries.
So widespread waa it 'in many
countries that "west front” became
the generic name for fhg entrance
facade of the church. Strictly speak-
ing, the central line through the
chancel of the church sflfcld point
directly to the rising sun w the day
of the saint tor whom thefchurcto ia
named. In Jewish synagogues, the
sanctuary or holy ark^ipust be
placed in the eastern end and in
Mohammedan mosques the worship-
er faces toward Mecca.
Government building* and other
large structures often ardcarefully
oriented and'the orientatfbn of grid-
iron plans in tome cities is meticu-
lous. The practical consideration of
sunlight ia a strong factor in the ori-
entation of domestic and industrial
architecture.
The derivation of the* figurative
meaning of the word is easily seen.
Colorfnl Meals
The sales value of proper colors
in restaurants, hotel dining rooms
and other eating places is suggested
by an experiment conducted by a
Chicago illuminating engineer, says
George D. Gaw in American Busi-
ness magazine. He Invited guests
to dinner in a hotel dining room
where they found appetising golden-
brown steaks, crlap, freah vegeta-
bles in aaladf . and other tempting
viands which they attacked with
zestful appetite. Then, the lights in
the room changed color. Within a
few minutes, the ehtlre party bad
lost appetite for the delicious din-
ner, and soma were taken violently
ill. The reason given for the change
is> that the celery had turned a
gaudy pink, steaks whitish gray,

Quick Action Will Protect
Parmer From Shortages.

By C. B. RICHE/FV •
(Agricultural Engineer. Oil's State
University.) '
Farmers who immediately take
measures to protect themselves
against any possible shortages in
machinery or repair parts will save
themselves and their neighbors
money and trouble.
The first step in this preparedness
campaign is the Inspection of all
machinery and equipment to ~ find
broken or worn parts that are likely

Another example is the problem1
of collecting scrap metal. If it

have to be partially dismantled be-
fore die amount of wear and tear
on parts can ba determined.
If repair .parts are needed, labor
can be aaved by leaving the ma-
chine torn down until the parts are
obtained. However, bolts, washers,
keys, and other small parts of the
machine should be pieced in a con-
tainer tb they can not be lost during
the period of waiting. >
The second step th getting the , . .
machines ready for 1942 is to order * awu
needed parts immediately. This
should be done whether or not the
dealer lays they are available.
Back logs of orders tor parts in the
manufacturers' files are powerful
arguments in getting supplies of
materials for filling the orders.
While the machines are being In-
spected, all loose nuts and other mi-
nor lacks of adjustment should fa-
corrected. Excessive vibration oi
machinery in operation decreases
its efficiency and increases chances
of breakage. Lock washers help
keep niits from working loose.

Good Farm Pastu#. ^/ 4
Will Aid Uncle Sam
Good farm pastures will become
as vital as munitions factories in
Uncle Sam's war program da the
demand for more meat and dairy
products Increase* in month* 4o
come:
"The farmer’s surest recipe for
meeting this demand for food for our
armed forces and obr allies, lies in
undertaking an intelligent program
of pasture Improvement that will in-
sure him a good stand - of legumes
and grasses," says a statement of
the Middle West Soil Improvement
Committee- ‘'To accomplish this it
Is important, first of all, that the
soil’s productivity be built up by the
use of fertilizer containing phosphor-
us and potash.
"Whether the crop is good or poor
will be determined by the presence
or absence of plant food. Thus it is
important to have the soil tested
to determine whether it is adequate-
ly supplied with the necesaary ele-
ments. * -
"Agronomists at stats colleges or
county agenta are prepared to co-
operate in makipg these testa and
likewise to providing recommenda-
tions covering the use of fertilizers
on pasture crop* in a rotation."
Soil Erosion Called
A ‘Fifth Columnist’
No "fifth columnist” ever
worked mote quietly than does
•oil erosion on a farm, but one
difference Is that evidences of
•ell erosion are easily seen. Ev-
ery muddy atream that Comes

warning that somewhere on high-
er ground the eoll haa been loos-
ened and is being carried away.
So says Prof. Paul Hoff of the
department of agricultural engi-
neering at Cornell university. As
objection of some farm op-
itors who ktaow they have an
problem but can’t find
labor to correct it, he
cannot be solved
nor does it require a
child—ami we'd have to do it even
if it necessitated turning in the
family washing machine. „ t
There is no question that the
voluntary methods serve to build
better morale and public interest
in the war program—but there is
^of question as to the.
advisability of continuing volun-
tary methods in cases where it is
evident tiiat they are not produc-
ing the desired results.

GOVERNMENT . i . . caution
Thp government's request for
sacrifices has been way behind the"
willingness of the people to make
sacrifices.
When the selective service act
was put in operation there was no
murmur of objection by the people.
When rationing began, the people
had long been ready for it and ad-
justed their lives accordingly.
When gigantic war taxes were
proposed, the people took for
grafted that they were necessary*
to pay part of the huge cost of
war. And even the plans to freeze
wages and farm prices have met
with few obectionp from those who
would be affected by them.
The attitude of the people rigb*
along has been that they will
gladly make sacrifices which are
made by all of the people. But in
a period of such vital concern to

We’re apt to learn to like the
