POTASH MADE or FELDsFAA

Amount Needed.

Tho European war has brought the
United States face to face with the
problem Of supplying its own potash.
Several new methods Of prcyiling a
substitute Tor German fertilizers have
been brought to the attention OF the
government. The most promising OF
these is that patented by a Canallan'
which provides for llc extracting OF
potash fru1l ordinary fCidspar. The
fglGsuar is heated with limestone ana
ir1E oxide at temperature CT about
2.2eC degrees Fahrenheit, which pro-
duces partly fused mass that is cas-
lily decCmrosed by d weak acid. From
this product the potash salts can be
readily extracted for further puTitlca-
ton.
Another method Of obtaining potash
will be tried out at New Orleans dis
tillerv where molasses is used III large
quantities. In the distilleries where
molasscs is fcrmentcd it is said that
more than one hundred and six tons or
potash is wasted daily and is it this
waste the New Orleans company is en-

to make fertilizer from this otherwise
worthless material at price that Will

In telling the details later, William
4. Lucas said he brushed the car OF

street and Vermont avenue, when the

all of G52 Towne avenue, was struck
amidships by al unknown motorist in
a powerful machine.
The small car which Mr.. Lucas was
driving was turned over, and Mr..
Lucas was thrown out, so he fell with
the full weight of the machine On his
head. The car was one of the light
ones about which so many jokes are
attempted.

MOSLEMS TO Be RECOGNIZED
Legislation viii Make Their Religion
Legally Recognized by
Hungary.

The Moslem religion will be legally
recognized in Hungary if bill intro
duced by the Hungarian minister Of
Justice is enacted into law by the Hun
garian diet.
In addition to giving the Moslem
religion every right enjoyed by any
other recognized faith in Hungary, the
proposed law will also permit the
teaching of Mohammedan dogma and
the founding of Moslem religious in
situations so far as they are not in
conflict with the existing laws.
While ,Mohammedans in Hungary
have in the past enjoyed full liberty
of conscience, they were as yet de-
prived Of certain civil rights which
functionaries CT other recognized
creeds exercised. The bill now before
the diet effaces some Of these inabili-
ties automatically, as soon as it be-
comes a law, while others are removed
by express provisions, as was done in
the case of the Mohammedans Of Bos-
mia and Herzegovina.
OF Moslem communities in Hungary

Orsova. is the largest, though groups
large enough to form religious COM
munities are found in many parts OF

DIFFER IN SLIGHT DEGREE
Words "1cssession" and "0tacssion"
Really Have Very Much the Same
Meaning, According to Authority.

Possess and obSess are etymolOgic'
ely related, but usage has given them
slightly different meanings. Both are
from the Latin. ana the second syE
liable OF both, scss, is from sedere, to
sit: therefore a session is sitting;
but possession is to sit before or near
a thing as owning it, and obscssion is
to be sat upon by it. This is not very
illuminativc, but it serves tC mark
different shades of meaning. Yet the
two words are so nearly Synonymous
that both have been used to describe
the persecution of human body by
an evil spirit. though possession means
operating from within and obessi0n
from without. The Bible speaks Of
those who were possessed with devils,
and the Oxford dictionary gives one
OF the definitions Of obsession as the
hostile action of the devil, or an evil
spirit bcsetting anyone: actuation by
the devil or an evil spirit FROM with
out" But while the authorities rccog
IiZ6 ICCnnlCal uIuGIcIISc tcI" SCl-
possession and ohsession as relating
to the devils operations from within
or from the outside, they d. not diff
forcntiate the moral results Of the
cases. ALPHABETICALLY speaking, there
is a sha,e OF difference between the
two words, but the chronological diff
ference is only skin deep, while, NOR
ally speaking there is little or no diff
ference between being operated by the
devil from within or worked by him
from the outside In quoting scne eX'
amples Of the use Of obsession as re-
lating to evil spirits, the Oxford die
tionary remarks that, These cases
belong rather to obsessicn than pos
session. the spirits net actually lnha5-
jtirg the bodies, but hanging or how
ering about them" Leaving the devil
ont of the case entirely and coming tc
ordinary affairs it may be said that
while ohsess and possess are different
in some meanings they are synony-
nous il others.
