DREXEL'S VERSION
If Experts, on Second Reading,
Reject His Altitude Record,
He'll Try Again.

81 NEW YORK, Dec. 2.-Another test is
J. Armstrong Drexel, at Philadelphia,
in his effort to establish a new worlds
record for altitude. A few hours before
he made the fight the instrument was
tested for him by Philadelphia ex-
perts. who pronounced it in satisfac-
tory condition. After the flight the in
5trument showed a record of 1870 feet,
which was 256 feet more than the pre-
vious worlds record. made by the
late Ralph tombstone at Belmont Park
ON October 81.
when the Paragraph was brought to
New York it was sent to the experts
employed by the Aero Club of America,
who reported an error in the machine,
which reduced the record of Mr.. Drex-
els flight to $3.50 feet, 264 feet less than
Ralph J~ohnstone's record. Mr.. Drexers
claim to a. worlds record was there
fore rejected.
lit is now announced that the Aero
Club of Pennsylvania will take h in
strument back to Philadelphia for re-
testing. In order to insure that the
tEst is thorough I'M official in every
respect it will be witnessed by two
scientists from the Weather Bureau at

Assuming that the crib Is moderate
ly tight ii Is used at the rate of three
pounds to 100 bushels OF grain,
approximately 1000 cubic feet Of
space, the latter being for an empty
crib. 1t should be repeated in ten
days. 1t may be distributed in sew
eral shallow vessels. but the simplest
way is to sprinkle it over the top like
water and II blankets are available
the surface of the corn should be
covered. Where the bin. is open, the
best possible thing to do is to make
it tight. In case Of log cribs, this may
be accomplished by means Of canvas
tackled over the walls.
Where only a small quantity Of grain
Is to be fumigated, such as seed coin
or cowpeas used for seed. it may be
accomplished by pouring 1t in coal
oil or molasses barrel. Such barrel
will accommodate about three BUSH
els. Three to five ounces Of carbon
bisulphide is poured over the sur
face and the barrel tightly closed for
twenty-four to thirty-six hours. The
top Of the barrel may be made per-
fectly tight by covering it with sew
eral burlap bags weighted down with
boards. A permanent covering for
this purpose may be made by heavily
painting a piece of canvas Of proper
size, which Is then laid over the open
ing and a barrel hoop dropped over
the top to hold it firmly in position.
Carbon bisulphide Is not poisonous
nor caustic. 1t drives the air from the
space to which 1t Is applied and causes
suffocation. When overcome by this
gas in a building, the symptoms con-
sist of a dry feeling Of the skin and
a streaked headache, accompanied by
dizziness. This will pass off imme-
diately after a person reaches the
fresh air. 1t Is not advisable that
people affected with heart trouble
handle this gas to any great extent.
Among other methods for con-
trolling weevils, lime and salt are
sometimes recommended. These ma
terials are not nearly as effective as
fumigation while the decrease in the
palatability of the corn where lime
Is employed, makes the use OF this
material Objectionable.
The use Of each does not decrease
the palatability but, In order that IL
may do any good at all 1t must be
used at heavy rate. A fair applica-
ton would consist Of seventy-five TO
100 pounds of salt to 800 bushels OF
corn. Retter permeation Is secured

rate Of two pounds Of salt to one GAL

The weevils lay their eggs in the
seed where the young larvae eat the
starch. When full grown they change
to the dormant or pupal stage, from
which the full grown weevil emerges
and works it's way out to lay the eggs
for another generation. The entire
time. from egg laying to the develop
ment of the full grown weevil, re-
quires about six weeks.
The first step in controlling corn
weevils is to select the seed corn in
the field. paying special attention to
the ears that are well covered by the

the pointed end downward. This Is
an important precaution, although not

Suggestion Recently Made By
Secretary Of the Treasury
McVeagh Adopted and
Acted Upon
MONEY FOR EMERGENCY USE
Organization Of Bankers Formed in
New York Today May Provo Basis
of New Government Currency
Scheme at Later Date.

New York. July 29.-The recent plea
of Secretary of the Treasury McVeagh
that bankers should form associations
to prepare for taking out emergency
currency in the event OF a situation
demanding such action bore its first
fruits today when representatives of
the national banks of the New York
Boroughs and of Long Island met in
this city To perfect an organization
such as is proposed by the Secretary
of the Treasury and provided for In
the Aldrich- -Vreeland emergency cur
rency act.
The new organization will be known
az the National Currency Association.
It's bylaws, as drawn up by the COM
mittee intrusted with that task, con-
tain two important provisions that
are expected to remove the objections
to organizing which have existed here
tofore.
One OF these provisions permits the
withdrawal of bank from member
ship in the association, with the per-
mission of the executive committee
and the approval of the secretary of
the treasury. provided the bank has
no unredeemed emergency currency
outstanding The other provision, which
is local for its immediate purpose
but general in its scope. permits the
nine small banks of Long Island to
become members of the association.
This action is intended to establish
line of policy whereby in the for
nation OF associations i'm other clear
ing house districts. small banks will
be taken care of. The Treasury De-
partment recognizes that to be work.
able n law must be applied impair
TALLY, hence IL has insisted, in the
case of the New York banks. that
the small banks of Long Island should
have equal rights of membership with
the great banks of New York city.
With this principle carried into eff
feet throughout the country, small de-
positors and customers will have
equal protection with those of the
great banking institutions. 1t is un-
derstood that the organization of the
currency associations will be well
coined also for the possible aid these
associations may offer the problem of
refrming the currency system. Most
or the plans for fiscal reform con-
template the organization of groups
OF banks In various parts of the coun-
try. When these associations become
general 1t is believed they might not
only be of great assistance to the
National Monetary Commission in di-
gesting Its recommendations md pop
ularizing them with the peol ;, but it
Is also conceivable that the new or
ganization might serve In some way
as basis for new government cur
rency scheme.

Open VERDICT BY
CORONER'S JURY
JURY INVESTIGATING DEATH OF
!. G. RAWN, HEAD OF MoNoN
ROAD, FIXES NO REsPoN-
SIBlLITY

Chicago, ILL.,, July 29.-The coron-
er's jury. impaneled to inquire into
the death Of /. G. Rawn, late president
of the Monon railroad returned an
open verdict. The verdict was so
worded as to show that the jurors be-
lieve Rawn was responsible for his
own death but the question OF suicide
or accident was left to be fought out
by the family and the insurance COM
panies. 1t took several hours of delib-
Grafton to reach this finding.
One of the chief, points involved In
the long discussion was how to word
the document so as not to deprive
Rawn's family Of any legal rights the
members might have under the $11O,-
900 i'm accident insurance policies left
by him. Two of the six jurors held
out for a verdict OF suicide and two
others held to the accident theory.
The verdict was therefore a compro-
mise between these divergent views.

The Sardinia aboard which it was

were not aboard the Sardinia and that
the vessel is entirely eliminated from

that the pair were on the latter vessel
and relayed the message to land points.
IL is not certain that the suspects
registered on the Montrose as John
