bated afterward.
The opinions of the American farmer
ON the projects of congress to furnish
him with rural credit schemes are eN-
pected to form an important part of
the debates.
The rural credits idea, considered by
its advocates as the best means of
solidifying the borrowing power of
farmers, reducing interest and enabl-
ing them readily to buy and and move
their crops, will probably nave to meet
the criticism of its enemies that such
a plan would deliver the farmer over
to organized money power. The pro-
posed Fletcher bin will be the center
for this debate. it Is said.

Mother of Pearl Ikon
From Arab Tribe.

emperor of Russia. by the sultan of

London, awaiting "a claimant. 1t was
destined for King George, out because
1t is not an official gift it cannot be
presented to him. and, since no one else
has a right to accept it, the ikon re-
mains without a master. q.
The history of the ikon began when

need OF friends. determined to turn to

accompany his overtures with q gift.
He ordered the Kobi. an Arabian tribe

to make an ikon of the Lords Last
Supper" for presentation to the Rus
sian emperor. 1t was no small order,
Tor the mother of pearl had to be car
RED a l2-day camel journey into the
interior, from the sea shore.
While the tribe was at work on the
lkon, one of its members, who had
served IN the British army paid IL visit
to his old home, and when he saw what
was being done insisted that it would
be the g~rossest ~discourtesy to his royal
master il a similar gift was not made
for King George. The only difference
between the two is that the Russian
gift Is surmounted by the imperial arms
of Russia. while the English Image
bears the royal arms OF Great Britain.
When the Russian gift was finished
the agents of the sultan paid for it and
carried 1t away, but the lSobi tribes
men did not know how to send the re-
plea to King George. 1t was finally
taken to Sir John Gray Hill, of Liver
pool. who maintains a winter home on
the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem. Lady
Hill paid the tribesmen for their work
and brought the ikon to London.
The ikon is made in the form OF a
hall room. with the front elevation sur
mounted by the royal arms. The fig

Cincinnati. Ohio. April 13.-Some
rather curious statistics were brought
forth at the convention of the Ameri-
AM Chemical society here for the bene-
fit of motorists.
In his address on Some Economic
Phases of the Use of Gasoline" Prof.
Benjamin II. Brooks, of the bureau of
mines. Washington. said that gasoline
is rapidly approaching the 40-cent a
gallon mark. at which point alcohol
would be an active competitor.
He estimated the present production
OF gasoline in America to be $50. 900
barrels of - gallons each, and said it
Is behind the demand made on it by
motor vehicles, dry cleaners and va
rious industries. To replace this
mount of gasoline by 96 per cent al
coho made from corn would require
$50, 900, 600 bushels. Professor Brooks
