SUN RAYS KEPT IN
 HOT STORAGE PLANT

Fosteria, O., Nov.3O, "Botled Sunshine" is what Alberta Barnes, local machinist and a genius calls his new invention, a caloric contrivance which he uses to heat his house in winter and to do the washing, ironing and all other household tasks requiring stored force.
 On the hottest days in sum- mer MT. Barnes catches the rays of the sun at the focus of a bright tin roof on his house and conveys the heat to his barn, which he has remodeled into an immense model of a fireless cooker box. In this building great squares of artificial stone are placed and the heat is stor- ed within these big disks. The disks are closely packed inside bales of baled straw. These stones hold more than 1,2OO,- 900 calories of heat, sufficient to heat his house all winter and to supply needed extra heat.
 MT Barns claims that it took only ten days last summer to charge his storage plant.
 The idea for the contrivance originated with MT. Barnes as he was trying to paint the roof of his house on hot day. On finding such great heat on the tin, he was curious to know if food could be cooked there and taking a beefsteak to the roof he left it. After a wait of an hour he crawled to the top of the house and found the steak cooked to a crisp. This incl dent gave him the idea for his storage plant.
 Hundreds of visitors are now viewing the dish shaped roof, the hot house and the heating system at the home of MT. A. Barnes, who says that as there is no meter on the sun he does not expect to pay a cent for heat the remainder of his life.

 latter, concoct the molasses and water. Dr. Ralph w. Webster and Dr. w. J.
 McNally, chemists, testified for the state that Marion died of liquid cyanide of potassium, and that the spots on her coat were left by drops of the solution. Three
 defense chemists testified that the poison was taken in powder form and that the important and accusatory cyanide in the greenhouse was not cyanide of potassium at all, but cyanide of sodium, with only faint trace of potassium. Dr. McNally, having made further experiments, volun- tarily appeared for the defense and cor rected his previous testimony to agree with that of the defense, and Dr. Web ster. recalled by the state, did so in reply to hypothetical question on cross examination.

PROGRESS|VES ARE
 GOING INTO FIGHT.
O'Bear Says New Candidate Will Be Nominated
 in Chicago

John M. Parker of New Orleans, vice presidential nominee of the progressive party. on Sunday morning will make pub lie his call for another progressive con vention in Chicago to nominate a candi- date for President" said George s. O'Bear, one of the best known Alabama .progressives, yesterday.
 T predict that the call will meet with hearty response from progressive all over the nation. Certainly Alabama will send delegates to this convention, for the great majority of progressives here resent the surrender of certain of the party, leaders to the old standpat crowd. But 1t is not only in the south ern states that this resentment is found. It is particularly strong in New York Michigan and Indiana, to say nothing of some of the western states.
 Conscientious progressives in the north are in a peculiar position. It is hard for a man who has once been a lifelong republican to vote for a demo- crat. He is determined not to vote for Hughes, but he will vote for a real pro- gressive, even though he knows that the nominee cannot be elected. He takes this attitude because he is sincere in his de- votion to what the progressive party stands for and not because he Is looking for the best way to get an office for himself or for some friend.
 There has been a great deal of talk about the progressves swinging into line for Hughes, but there will be a different story when the new conv ention meets, and real progressive candidate is put into the field.''
