he recently won a prize for oratory.
In an essay on The Regeneration OF

British control Of the government was

The wilder and more ignorant Of the
Zulus are. like most savage or semi
savage peoples, of a childlike simple
ity Of character In many respects. The
young men are fond Of displaying
themselves In garb borrowed from CIV
Ilization, but they do not always wear
their attire In the fashion customary
among whites. The accompanying pic
ture of a Zulu Beau Brummel shows
him with bare legs, but with other ar
ticies of apparel or decoration, which
In his estimation evidently make up for
this lack Of covering. For instance, he
wears a silk hat and a monocle. car
ries a cane and smokes a cigarette. He
has done his best to carry out the
white mans idea Of being in style.

degrees test gasoline was advanced
half a cent a gallon, while all other
high grades were put up a cent per
gallon. The present internal revenue
tax on d~enaturized alcohol Is SO large
as to make its use for commercial pur-
poses impractical. In England, Ger
many and some other European coun-
tries there Is no tax on d~enaturized
alcohol, and there 1t is largely used in
the arts and in manufactures and also
as fuel and for motive power. Com
mercial alcohol, known as wood alco-
hol or methyl alcohol. has long been OBJ
tained by the dry d~istillation Of wood.
but there are many purposes for which
It cannot be used and for which the de
naturized alcohol obtained from grain
or vegetables would be available. The
products expected to furnish the chief
supply Of this article In case Of the
removal Of the tax are corn. potatoes.
sugar beets and other vegetables con-
tanning a great deal Of starch. Accord
ing to the estimates Of the secretary Of
agriculture, potatoes and corn will
be largely grown for the production Of
alcohol as well as for food II the tax Is
removed. The alcohol In that case
would be made undrinkable by the ad-
dition Of wood alcohol and pyridine.
DR.. Wiley. whose chemical expert
ments have done much to develop e n
timent In favor Of pure food laws. has
shown that cornstalks may be util-
lied for commercial alcohol, the same
kind of press being used to extract the
fermentable material as for sugar cane.
Mr.. Wilson estimates that with the
grinding up Of the stalk az well as the
grain corn can be made to produce 23O
gallons Of alcohol to the acre. This
would mean a vast increase in the de-
mand for this product and a CORE
spending benefit to the farmer. The
corn crop Of the country Is already
enormous, and on the plains Of the
west 1t il stacked up almost mountain
high ut certain seasons, but Its growth
would be stimulated still more by the
opening up Of such a market as the re-
moval of the tar would create. 1t Ii
estimated that the ordinary white po-
tato will produce as much as 255 gal
Ions of alcohol per acre. From sugar
beets about 224 gallons Of alcohol per
acre may be obtained. The use Of alco-
hol for fuel and power is not SO dan
gerous as that Of oil and gasoline. and
it is thus especially adapted for farm
purposes.

office he held as chief magistrate Of the

this precludes him from taking an In

or from expressing his opinions upon
the same upon proper occasions. He
presided recently at the national con-
ference of charities and corrections In
