MUCH COTTON IN BIG SHELLS
Enormous Amount Of Material 10
Needed in the Operation Of
European BelIigerents-

Every shot fired from one of the
fifteen-inch guns of the British bat
tleship Queen Elizabeth, or one of
the German or Austrian seventeen
inch mortars, means the expenditure
of 400 pounds of raw cotton. Cot
ton is one of the basic ingredients
of all high explosives. No substi-
tute can or has been found, although
German chemists are exerting the ut
most of their ingenuity to provide
something that will take the place of
the cotton boil.
1t has been estimated that 1000
tons of raw cotton are shot away ev-
cry day in the world war by the Ger
man and Austrian armies. The
charge for a German seventeen-inch
howitzer shell, 400 pounds, would
provide ammunition for 400 shots
from a field gun or $4,000 rounds
from an army rife.

~iuld That Makes the Body Transpar
ent IL Discovery Considered
Of Great Value.

A new method Of giving medical
students instruction which, it is said,
will largely obviate the necessity Of
dissection, will be put into practice
at the Hahnemann Medical college,
Philadelphia, at the beginning Of the
next term.
Physicians and surgeons connected
with the department Of anatomy are
now perfecting the process, which
originates through the recent discov-
cry by a French scientist Of fluid
by the use of which the human body
can be rendered transparent.
The fluid, which is composed Of
several oils, turns the flesh into a sort
of transparent jelly when injected,
enabling the student to study the
veins, muscles, and homes far better.
it is asserted, than if they restored
to the dissecting knife. 1t is said
to be one of the most valuable dis
coveries in medical science of late
years.

"MovIEs. FOR LECTURES.

In illustrating a lecture in which
armor plate and armor piercing pro-
jectiles were discussed not long ago
at the British Institution of Mechan-

A number Of drawings in which

breaking into pieces, the projectile
passing through the metal protection
and subsequently decorating, were

dozen Topeka lawyers in preparation

SAME OLD STORY
"H. C.. of L." Takes Another
Jump of 25 Per Cent.
And Worst to Come; Staples To
Be Luxuries by Spring.

New York, Oct. 21.-While an in
crease in the price of foodstuffs
amounting to rs per cent picked the
pockets of New Workers today many
grocers predicted another rs per cent
increase which will make many staple
articles luxuries by spring. The war
is blamed.
The allies are willing to pay such
high prices for food that wholesalers
ship abroad, the grocers declare. A
short crop also is playing havoc in the
prices, and Canada's participation in
the war is having its effect, for that
British possession is sending all it's
surplus to feed the great armies. High
prices paid to laborers in munition
plants is taking men from the farms
and farmers are forced to pay higher
prices to harvest their crops. Specu-
1ators also are helping boost prices
the grocers say.
Even Peace Wouldn't Help.
Even peace would not help much
dealers declare, for the shortage in
production in this country, they be-
lieve, would still be the predominant

full for the Republicans" said Chair
man Mccormick, on his return from
Chicago.
In reply to this statement, George
w Perkins, who, in the absence of
Chairman Wilcox, was in command
of Republican national headquarters,
declared:
Hughes will sweep the country. A
poll of forty-eight states shows that
liz per cent of the Democrats who
supported Wilson four years ago, will
support Hughes this year"
Perkins had just received word
from an "old guard conference called
to save the situation" Among the
participants were W. Murray Crane,
Boies Penrose and George T. Oliver.
Chairman Wilcox was not present.

confidence as he emerged from a long
session of the national campaign COM

''Then you are claiming about every

Senator Willard Saulsburg, of

1t is doubtful. Even in PENNSYLVANIA
there is a good chance for Wilson.
