M. A. Crummett, good roads edi-

in discussing the matter with
Chronicle representative said:
We are joining hands with Colo
RADIO, Kansas and Illinois for the es-
Establishment of an Ocean to Ocean
highway. 10 connect with your Han
nibal and St. Joseph cross. state
highway through Missouri.
/ Congress has never taken any
stand on the establishment of such
a highway as we have in contem-
plation, though there are many who
think official action has really been
taken
The Lincoln highway through
Iowa is the one most people have
been using, with the idea that it is
a part of the nation wide route.
"A part of our campaign for this
Northern Missouri highway is to
convince the tourists that it is 260
miles the shortest. Then We are
going to let them know that we are
in as good and safe condition for
heavy automobile traffic as any
crossstate highway in the West.
Think what it would mean
should the traffic be diverted to
this route. Ninety thousand auto
mobiles went over the Iowa high
way last season, You can figure
on an average of three persons to
the car, and that each person will
spend enroute three dollars daily.
That would mean there was
spent along the Iowa route be-
tween three and four millions of
dollars.
Nov, Missouri wants share of
that business, and she will get it if
our good roads people 90 after it
right. 1t is going to be largely a
matter of publicity. Our papers
must take up the matter. Sample
copies containing good roads stories
and information about our highway
should be sent TO people east and
west. Illustrations of scenes along
the route should be printed, to-
gather with descriptions of the
towns, distances and all that sort
of information a tourist needs be-
fore stating out on a cross country

The customary number of pros
pective candidates against the pres

cation in Congress are being men
toned but the chances are that the

to win. The country at large seems
to be we'll satisfied with the present
administration and the way Con-
gress has been cooperating with it
and will likely be content to let all
continue in their good work. Be-
sides the people of Missouri have
learned, as other states have. that
it does not pay to retire a good
man as soon as he begins to get &C
quainted with his fellow members
in Congress to have some influence
and put in his place a new man.
The administration has mapped out
an extensive legislative program
and there will be some very import
ant constructive work begun that
cannot be finished in this Congress.

GOVERNMENT Tests COTTON.
RESULTS OF EXPERIMENTS ARE
GIVEN OUT.
Western and Atlantic States UpIands
Compared for Tensile and Bleaching
QauiticS.

Washington. Nov. 20.-The depart
ment of agriculture today announced
the results Of tests as to the waste,
tensile strength and bleaching quail
ties Of the various grades OF cotton
established by the government. About
120 bales were used in the expert
ments, 10 to IL Of each grade.
The classes Of cotton, Western up
land and Atlantic States upland,
yielded a visible waste of slightly diff
ferent weight and character, the aver
age difference in waste being between
and per cent, that from the
Western uplands being slightly less
than that from the Atlantic States
upland.
The statement from the department
said:
1.-The differences are considerably
greater in the lower grades than in
the higher grades.
The value Of the visible waste
from the various grades has yet to
be determined but from it's character
there can be doubt that the value
Of the waste of the two classes will
be approximately equal weight for
weight. AS regards the relative amount
of visible waste in the different grades
the figures are found to be more con-
sistent than might have been expected.
The mill waste varies from about 4
per cent in middling fair to about IL
per cent in good ordinary and 1t Is
satisfactory to note that the various
official grades fall into line in this re-
spect with something approaching
mathematical uniformity.
preliminary tests on tensile
strength show the yarn from the two
classes Of cotton to be about equal in
strength.
"The cotton used in these investi-
cations was all of the same length Of
staple. Although these figures are
the results of experiments on only one
seasons cotton they are presented
with confidence in their approximate
accuracy. so far as they co.

FIVE REELS AND PICTURE MA

Elisha Carson Hurt by Box Thrown
From Operating Room Window
Building Saved because of Asbestos
Fire Proof Vault for Machine
New Machine Ordered

The Rex was temporarily put out
a fire in the operating room, which
was prevented from spreading because
Of the fact that it was in the asbestos
fire-prOof vault in which the machine
is operated and the flames could not
break through to catch the building.
The people in the house at the time
were kept quiet and the place was
emptied quickly, but without con-
fusion. Elisha Carson. a spectator,
suffered a very painful injury. how
ever, when someone threw a box
from one Of the windows of the oper-
ating room, the corner Of which struck
him on the upper lip. inflicting a jag
ged and very painful cut
The cause Of the fire is unknown.
Archer, the operator, was the only
person in the machine room at the
time. He stated that he did rot
know the cause of the fire. The reels
are OF celluloid treated with some
chemical preparation which makes
them highly infammable and the fire
blazed up in an instant. The opera
tor got out Of the place and ran down
the ladder as quickly as possible,
leaving negro. was was winding up
reel, in the room. The negro threw
the reel he was holding out Of the
window and about the same time
someone threw the box. which struck
Mr.. Carson. III. !. Morris, the man
ager of the Rex, ran up the ladder
into the operating room and managed
to save two films, but all Of the 9TH
ers were destroyed.
The fire department turned out
promptly and used the chemical en-
gine with good effect, eXtinguishing
the fire in short order although they
were handicapped by the smoke and
the numerous electric wires and
switches in the room.
Mr.. Morris stated Friday that the
damage would probably amount to
around $500. but as it was impos-
sible to say what the owners would
charge for the picture films, he could
not make any estimate which might
be nearly accurate. The greatest loss
was in the five films which were de-
stroyed. Three of them were fea-
ture films and more valuable than
the two service films which were lost.
The machine, which was insured, was
totally ruined. The loss on it was esti-
mated at over $500. Practically no
damage was done the building, as the
fire was mostly confined in the fire
proof vault.
Mr.. Carson was taken to the hospi-
tai, where the cut was found to have
penetrated his lip and it had to be
sewed on top and underneath. The
wound. while not considered serious,
is very painful Mr.. Morris stated Fri
day morning that he did not know
who threw the box which caused the
injury and it seems difficult to ascer-
tain who did throw it. Mr.. Carson
was standing on the street looking on
and hearing some one cry look out"
he looked up, the box striking him us
