May Public Spirit Prevail.

We note with great satisfaction the
prospect which has arisen of averting the
strike OF the four big railroad brother
hoods which is the great, immediate men
ace to the peace and prosperity OF the
country. And advantage gained by mod
Grafton, common sense and decent re-
gard for the rights OF others over sell
fishness, greed and stubborn blindness
must always be welcomed. When it rep
resents a clear recession from an atti-
tude OF nsolent dictation it is a cause
for positive rejoicing.
Should the brotherhoods now agree TO
arbitration OF their demands upon the
railroad companies, which the latter stig-
Matte as unjus i'll principle and impos-
sible in practice, nobody will rail at
them for inconsistency The public will
take it that their recent "a per cent
vote for strike was merely the ex-
preston OF an aspiration Of desire for
higher pay, and viii accept their present
concession as the triumph of their bet
ter judgment and their better feeling
over the egoism with which they are
infected perhaps no more than any 9TH

The outcome of this momentous crisis
is IN the lap of the gods. All we can
do at this time is wish well to the work

Sand Industry Affected by European
War.

An increase in the quantity of glass
sand used in the United States in 1915
over that in 1914 may be explained in
part by the activity in the glass indus
try due to increased exports, a direct
effect of the war in Europe The produc.
ton of glass sand in 1915 was | ,sS4 ,044
short tons. valued at Sl,G06 $40 This is
the largest quantity ever reported by
the United States geological survey, de
partment of the interior, which has Just
issued its annual statistical report on
sand and gravel Some weeks ago fig
ures were given out for the production
OF glass sand in the principal producing
states. but the above are final figures for
the entire country.
holding sand was produced in very
much greater quantity in 1915 than in
1914 owing in part at least to the for
eign demand for vast supplies of ma
and munitions requiring the
casting of metal which called for the
use Of molding sand in large amounts
The total production of molding sand
throughout the United States as report
ed to the survey was 3.5S5,746 short
tons. valued at S2,l23,203.
The report shows that the total guam
tity Of sand and gravel produced in 1915
and reported to the survey was 76.603.-

American "Ichthyol."

The current publication of the United
States geological survey, department of
the interior, on the production of asphalt
and related bitumens in 1915 contains a
brief note on the subject of ichthyol.
Prior to August, 1914, this asphaltic ma
teral, which is employed as an antisep-
tic medcament, was imported from Eu
rope. 1t is derived from bituminous
rock, filled with fossil fish, that is found
in the Austrian Tyrol. American imports
had increased from $4,000 pounds in 1910
to 10000 pounds in 1914, but dropped off
last year to less than $4,000 pounds. In
view of the inadequacy of the foreign
supply TO meet the domestic demand nm
der present conditions, it is interesting
to know that in this product, as in 9TH
ers, America has come to depend on its
own resources. So far as known there
are in the United States no deposits of
asphaltic material of the peculiar type
from which ichthyol is derived, but Amer
lean chemists have solved the problem of
supplying the domestic needs in this re-
gard, and favorably recommended substi-
tutes for ichthyol, prepared from domes
tic materials by synthetic methods, are
now available in the markets.
Theo geological surveys general report
on asphalt, Related Btumens, and BIZ
luminous Rock in 1915" is now ready
for distribution. During the year the
natural asphalt of all varieties sold at
the sources of production in the United
States aggregated 1871 short tons, val
ued at 1926, 400.

The Boy
Bushwhacker
BY DONALD CHAMBERLIN

Two American boys, whose fathers
were engaged in business In northern
Mexico. were out hunting. What they
were after was not rabbits or squirrels
or birds. They wanted bigger game.
They were bushwhackers. From be-
hind a tree, stone or a bush they
would pick of the bandits. Their
homes had been plundered and the
brother Of one OF them, George Dor
rance, had been killed by the men they
were now taking revenge upon.
George had lain in wait for n strag-
gler from the band OF one Alvarez and
shot him from behind tree. Imme-
diately after the deed was done
Mexican woman, who knew George,
saw him emerge from the timber.
Passing along the road she saw the
dead bandit lying on his back, his
CLASSY eye looking up at the peaceful
blue sky. Alvarez had heard the shot
behind him and, desiring TO know what
1t was about, turned and rode back.
Seeing the dead man. he asked the
woman who shot him. She told him
that George Dorrance had done the
deed. and pointed in the direction
George had gone.
Warren Edwards, Georges compan-
ion, was waiting for him not far dis
tant, and they moved on together to-
ward Georges home, Presently look
ing back, they saw Alvarez coming
He was on an elevation In the ground.
and they were on another. The Dor
rance house was a short distance be-
low, and, boylike, instead OF going into
hiding anywhere else they made for It.
They were met at the door by Mrs.
Dorrance
Mother" said George, II shot

ing for me-"
moments thought decided her. and
she led them 70 garnet, unceiled and
the joists above uncovered. On these
joists were piled some old beds.
Get up there" said the woman.
The boys climbed up and hid them
selves in the bedding. Unfortunately.
Alvarez had seen them go into the
house and knew they We're there. He
was full Of wrath at the loss of his
man and determined to wreak Ii on
the slayer. Riding up TO the house,
he threw himself from his horse and |
stalked in with knitted brow and a |
merciless look in his eye.
II want a boy named George Dor |
rance he said to Georges mother.
There's no such boy here"
He is here; | saw him come in with
another boy a few minutes ago. You
might as well produce him and save
ne the trouble of looking for him"
What do you want to do with him?''
"Neyer mind that; tell him to come
nut of hiding"
The woman stuck to it that George
vas not in the house.
Are you his mother?- asked the
'andit.
Yes"
AS soon as he received this reply
Alvarez gave up trying to persuade or {
rigbten the woman into giving up her
ON and went through the house {
earching for him AS soon as he saw
be beds stored on the joists above the
arret. recognizing 1t as a most likely
iding place, he examined 1t and yank- =,

(Which OF you boys is George Dor

Neither replied Alvarez asked the
question OF Mrs, Dorrance who he'd
followed them out OF the house. She
would not reply,
Il want 10 know" said Alvarez an
grily, (which one OF you boys is
George Dorrance. who just now shot
one of my men. IL / can't find out I'll
kill you both, for I'm determined 10
kill the one who did the bushwhack-
ing"
George declined TO give the required
information, and Warren was deter
mined that he would not betray his
friend Whether Alvarez admired an
act OF heroism on the part OF one OF
the boys unknown TO him or from
some other cause he did not carry out
this threat 20 kill both. He resorted
TO device to learn the truth. He had
seen the boys guns standing In a cor
ner In the house. He stepped inside,
brought them out and, keeping the
boys covered with a revolver, handed
each boy gun. Then he told them,
when he gave the word, TO fire on
Mrs. Dorrance, and the boy who fall
ed TO irfict death wound should die
In this way he expected to discover
which was her son, for no boy would
thus kill his mother.
But the test was interrupted He
had scarcely handed the guns to tho
boys when there came the metallic
notes OF bugle Alvarez, without
even looking to see whence it came,
leaped on to his horse and, digging the
rowels Of his spurs into the beasts
tanks, was off like a fash.
But the boys had the guns. Two re-
ports rang out together, and Alvarezs
body was left in the dust while his
horse ran on.
A few minutes later company OF
the -th United States cavalry rode
past the house. The captain was mott
fed that Alvarez's band was in the
neighborhood and. taking the boys for
guides, hurried away TO attack them.
Some of the bandits were coming
back to look for their commander, but,
seeing the troopers, turned and fed.
They were pursued and gave the alarm
to their comrades, but it was too late.
The robbers were obliged TO turn and
fight but, not having their commander
to lend them, they were routed and
most of them either killed or captured

LAUREL ROOTS FOR PIPES.
Manufacturers Buy Supply from U. S.
Government.

Washington, Aug. Ia sale of a
large quantity OF mountain laurel roots
| from one of the national forests III the
southern Appalachians is reported by OF
fcials in charge, who say that the roots
will be used to make pipes
The mountain laurel root is similar IN
appearance to the French briar, which
the majority of pipe smokers are said to
prefer The French briar is the root OF
the white heath or "bruyere," The roots
are gathered in large quantities, and aft
or being cleaned and sawed into blanks
they are placed in hot water and sim
mered for u hours or more. This process
gives them the rich hue for which the
best pipes are noted. 1t is said that in
1915 the value of the blanks shipped to
this country was almost 100000, and in
addition large number of finished pipes
were imported
On account of the present scarcity and
high price of French briar, number OF
pipe manufacturers in this country have
been on the lookout for substitutes, and
the forest products laboratory has con
Quoted experiments to determine the
availability of other woods. 1t Is re-
ported that the mountain laurel roots
burn out more readily than briar, but
forest service experts are trying to find
method of hardening the wood and
have succeeded to an appreciate extent.
They have also found that a number OF
the various kinds of chaparral which are
abundant in the West give promise of
yielding material which viii be the equal
of French briar in every way.
Other woods now widely used for pipe
making are apple wood, red gum ebony,
and birch, together with smaller amounts
of olive wood, rosewood and Usage or
abge.
Considerable amounts of the laurel
roots are being used, and officials expect
to make further sales. The lands pur
chased by the government in the south
ern Appalachians are reported to contain
unlimited quantities of laurel, which is |
widely known for the delicate beauty OF |
its flowers In places it forms extensive
which are almost impenetrable. |
Visitors to the mountains say that in the |
spring these thickets, or pink BEDS" as
they are called by the mountaineers, are
beautiful and form one of
the main attractions of the region.
The sales of laurel root will not be |
made at places frequented by tourists, or
where the removal of the laurel will de-
tract from the beauty of the landscape.

Baking Soda as Medicine.

Baking soda, which is known to ply
sicians and druggists as sodium bicar-
Donate, is extolled by DR.. w p Herrick OF
New York in the Medical journal as
proba bly, the most generally useful of all
drugs as medicines. This not merely be-
cause of its value when used alone, but
because of the great number of important
combinations into which it enters, its eff
feet seemingm to be to increase the eff
cheney of the drugs with which it is COM
bined
DIR Herrick describes the multifarious
uses of bicarbonate Of soda. These may
be summarized as follows;
1t is a valuable skin lotion. relieving
itching, allaying the pain OF burns.
1t is non-irritant antseptic for
wounds.
In warm water il is the best method OF
removing hardened wax from the ear.
As a nasal douche it is unsurpassed.
As a mouth wash it is antiscptic and
alkaline; it cures canker sores.
1t makes grateful gargie in tonsilitis

As douche for the stomach and other
parts it is most valuable
In the stomach it dissoves mucous and

IL. C, Tucker, charging Erwin King with
murder in the first degree in connection
with the Phelps and Wolcott murders at
West Shelby, in March, 1915, for which
Charles f. Stielow is under sentence OF
death. Mr.. Tucker refused TO say upon
whose information the warrant was is

nounced early in the day that King re-
pudiated as spurious the confession al
legged to have been made in the Little
Valley Jail to Mrs. Grace Humston,
New York lawyer who has been working
to save Stielow from the electric chair,
Mrs. Humston demanded to see King
upon her arrival here yesterday, but the
district attorney refused TO permit an IN
terview. David A. White, Stielow's Al
bion lawyer, declared that the prisoners
recantation was ridiculous, false and in
spired.' Mr. White denied that friends
of Stelow were responsible for the war
rant issued yesterday for Kings arrest
on murder charge.
Mrs. Grace Humiston, a lawyer who
has been leading the fight to free Stielow,
expressed the greatest indignation when
she learned yesterday that King had been
brought here in an automobile and exam

and Detective Newton. 1t was Newton
whose third degree methods in obtaining
the confession on which Stielow was sen
fenced were severely criticized by a SUI

Mrs. Humiston said she was determined
to protect King from intimidation and to
him from being forced by the
third degree methods to repudate his
confession.

Ways of Frying Liver.

Fried liver can be prepared in several
different ways.
One way is to fry bacon and then fry
the slices of liver in the hot bacon fat
Another is to dip the slices in egg and
then in fine crumbs, and then to fry in a
shallow frying pan; really this is sauted
liver. Make rich brown gravy with
the stock and fat in the pan.
Still anothre way is to drop the slices
of liver and slices of bacon into deep very
hot fat and fry until tender.
