Then followed long and costly tests
OF the stability and durability OF the
powder. These experiments removed
from its explosions even the trace Of

Jacob Astor 3rd, the little son Of Mrs.
John Jacob Astor was two years old

by his mother, who is a member OF the
fashionable summer colony here.
Among those in the family party were
the parents OF Mrs. Astor and her sis

Little John Jacob Astor 3rd was
born August II. 1912, four months af-
ter his father had perished in the III
tanic disaster. Rather delicate at his
birth, the baby has grown into a
healthy youngster and is one of the
most rugged babies seen at Bar Har-
bOr this summer. The child closely
resembles his mother. He has a
wealth OF light golden hair, the clear
est OF blue eyes and a pink and white
complexion. In the baby appears no
trace OF the grim tragedy in which
his father bravely lost his life.
by his will Colonel Astor created a
trust fund Of 100000 for any child

Force, until the heir was II years old.
This fund, inherited by little John ia

considering the way in which the bulk

EUROPE MUST
GET NITRATE
FOR POW De R
Chile Enjoys Practically a World
Monopoly In This Material

Where is all the raw material COM
ing from for the vast amount of pow
der that will be needed in the sreat
European war? That Is question that
South America can answer according
TO news note I'm the July number OF
the Monthly Bulletin Of the Pan Am
erican Union, Washington, ID. G.
Strange to say. the one country in
the world which in times of peace
supplies the greatest agent To increase
the productiveness of the earth, will
now be called upon for identically the
same agent To supply the means OF de-
struction. That country is the Repub-
lie Of Chile, and the product which has
now assumed such tremendous inn
portance is the nitrate Of soda which
il supplies 10 the world. The nitrate
fields OF chile form a wonderful asset
in the national economy and this
news note states that the government
will sell at public auction, on August
10. in the city OF Santiago, certain nit
rate lands located in the Province of
Tarapaca, thus opening up for devel-
opment additional areas containing
this remarkable product.
The greatest use in recent years OF
Chilean nitrate has been "to make two
blades Of grass grow where but one
grew before" and in this capacity 1t
has been blessing TO humanity. The
use Of nitrate OF soda as fertilizer
though very general now, has been
known To our civilization less than a
century. The story goes that an old
Scotchman who lived near the present
nitrate fields about 1916, spread some
soil containing white crystals over part
OF his garden. Things planted in this
particular spot grew wonderfully.
Samples Of the soil were sent to Scot
land for analysis, and the nature Of
the substance and it's value as a fer
t.lizer was soon established, According
TO tradition. however. centuries before
The Spanish conquest, the Incas of
Peru and some Of the natives Of Boil
via knew Of the fertilizing value Of the
white crystals, and are supposed to
have known how 10 produce them from
The crude material.
Today Chile enjoys practically
world monopoly in the production of
nitrate. and its use is constantly grow
ing. In 1913 the exports reached the
h gh-water mark. Nearly 100000 tons
were shipped from the various ports Of
the country and went TO increase the
productiveness OF the soils OF many
different nations. incidentally, chile
derives a golden harvest from the
product. The revenue derived from
