John F. Stevens, chief engineer of the Pana-

capital during the Investigations, but he carried
his point and has been told at last TO go ahead

He is man to carry points when he makes

TO Make Alcohol from COncobsRare Act Of Army Friend
ship-To Suppress Bell Ringing.

WASHINGTON.-The manufacture OF alcohol
may be revolutionzed as the result of expert
mCnts which have been completed by the depart
ment of agriculture. The officials of the depart.
ment have succeeded in making alcohol from
corncobs and cOrnstalks at cost small that
they believe it will prove of large commercial
value and develop into new industry. 1t is
proposed at first to manufacture the alcohol a
byproduct in connection with corn-canning fac
tories. In investigations which the department
is making at HoopestCn, Ill., it has been proved
that the large quantities of corncobs which every
year go to waste can be converted into alcohol
in sufficient quantities to justify the erection OF
a distilling plant
The department sent two chemists to Hopes

He had great speed and fine control.
King caught a minor league game and

hand. His triple helped TO win, and IT
