every mouthiul OF dinner had the un-
mistakablc taste of the poison gas;
each draught of water had the same
taste of the deadly gas; and even the
puffs of a cigar had the taste of so
many pufs of this death-dcaling gas
always the fiery needles and 50
many draughts of vitriol. Colonel
Cosby could speak to his family only
in inarticulate whispers. They were
naturally much concerned over the
possible aftcr-effccts,
When Colonel Cosby saw a doctor
the next day, the throat was found to
be in a very bad condition, as ON
an acute attack of laryngitis. The
colonel continued on his duties, but
for a week he could speak only in
whispers. 1t was ten days before
the clutch of poison gas on the throat
had been raised enough to let him
speak again in full voice.

Austrian Derby
Draws Good Crowds
Regardless Of Wal

Correspondence of The Associated Press)
Vienna, July 1.-The annual Aus
trian derby, the banner race Of the
sporting season for all Austria Hun
gary, this year proved even more
than the anticipated success. 1t far
outdid the derby of 1915 in general
interest, attendance and sporting fea-
lures. Many of the big figures in
society and the smart and brilliant
gowns of peace time were lacking
but the threatening weather was
largely to blame for that.
The Austrian race track crowd is
totally unlike the one-time American
crowd. The nerve-racked excitement
of the American track is lacking,
and when the horses come laundering
down the track-from right to left
instead of from left to right and on
sod instead of solid earth-there are
seldom any shouts for this or that
horse.
A feature Of the Austrian track is
the surprising number of women who
bet on the races. Thousands of them
crowded to the pari-mutel booths on
derby day, feverishly thrusting their
ten and twenty-crown bills to the
cashiers, and jostingly making their
way after each race TO the pay-off
booths. The women, too, furnished a
sight that is not common on an
American track, for countless num-
bers of them strolled about the pad
dock, or leaned against the rail
snoking cigarette after cigarette.
They stood about the huge announ-
cling board with cigarettes between
their lips. program in hand, carefully
and skilfully checking off the num-
s"rs of the horses to run in the next
race and the names OF the jockeys

stopper very cautiously, and Colonel
Cosby took slight whiff OF the gas.
1t was not ovcr-powering or violent

ether. Now the second class of gases
we're rcached-thc tcar-producing
gascs--and these too were tested in
the same way. These. also, were not
over-powering, but gave the same
sharp odor of ether and a perceptible
effect on the eyes. Colonel Cosby
was beginning TO think the gases were
not so bad after all,
They had now reached the poison
gas--the deadly gas which clutches

Colonel Cosby foot away. But i'll
that instant the Colonel felt he had
been hurled back twenty feet,
Tongues of fire were eating at his
throat, and ten thousand needles were
darting around his neck. 1t seemed
as though live vitriol had been cmptied
in his mouth and was coursing
through his veins. His whole vocal
system was paralyscd, This infni-
,esimal portion of the deadly gas had,
in all instant, overpowcred him.
II was some little time before Col
oncl Cosby was in position to dis
cuss his tests. The chief chemist
said the effect would continue some
hours and probably some days, 1t

WHO OWNS WATER
IN SOUTH PLATTE?
Motion Filed in Supreme Court
to Dismiss Contentious of
Nebraskans.
TWO SIDES TO QUESTION

Lincoln, July l7.-(Special0-CoI-
orado attorneys interested in the con-
troversy between that state and Ne
braska over the right of the former
to withhold water in the South Platte
river so that Nebraska people have
none whatever have filed a motion
in the supreme court to dismiss the
case brought by water users of this
state.
The case hinges on whether the
people of the Centennial state own the
water exclusively and can keep Ne
braska from receiving the natural flow
OF the river. Nebraska says that it is
an interstate proposition while the
Colorado people say that the water
does not become an interstate matter
until it has crossed the line into an
other state, and as they keep it from
crossing it is purely Colorado prop
erty which that state has a right to
control as it sees fit.
On that plea it is said that the state
Of Colorado could be held for dam
ages caused by the overflow which
occasionally covers Nebraska lands
and causes much damage, so there are
two sides to the question.

Ancient Iron Mines
Worked by Italians

Correspondence Of The Associated Press)
Rome, July 5.-The iron mines of
the island of Sardinia, worked in the
time of the Roman republic to obtain
metals for the arms of its legions, are
today being worked by the Italians in
their need for artillery munitions.
Never in its history, according to a
writer in the Idea Nazionale, a daily
newspaper, has Italy so felt the need
of iron or so recognized the lack of it
in its soil.
Of the large countries of the world,
barring Japan, Italy's soil is the poor
est in iron ore, despite its care in de-
veloping the mines it possesses. 1t
yearly produces slightly over 100000
tons of pig iron, as compared to up
wards of 30,000,000 tons in the United
States, or 100000 in England, TO-
100000 in Germany and 100000 in
Austria-Hungary, the country with
which it is at war.
The progress of Italy as an iron
producer has, however, been rapid. In
the year 1890 it was producing but
$4,000 tons of pig iron, as compared
to 375,0O0 tons in 1912. In this war
year it is estimated that its produc-
ton, stimulated by the needs of its ar
tillery and the high ocean freights
from the United States, will be con-
siderably greater than in normal years.
The mountainous country of the
mainland of Italy's territory, including
the Alps and the Apennines, yield but
little iron. The best part Of it comes
from the islands of Sicily and Sar-
dinia. The mines of Caltanisetta in
Sicily produce some S6,000,000 worth
of ore. Another 100000 worth is
mined in the districts about Florence,
another $l,000,000 worth comes from
Bologna, while smaller values come
from mines near Naples, Rome, Milan
and Turin. The next largest value
comes out of the ancient mines Of
Sardinia, which produce a value Of
over 100000 normally, in peace
years, and which are being worked
under pressure this year. 1t is stated
that if foreign capital and American
machinery we're introduced on that
island the mines could be made still
more productive.

STAGE TO CUT CROPS
Several important Factors Must
Not Be Overlooked.
Proper Curing of Fodder and Feeding
Value Of Cured Material Are Es-
sentials Often Neglected
in Harvesting.

Farmers should harvest their forage
crops at proper stage of maturity, If
best results are desired. Several fac
tors must be taken into account. Ac-
cording to Farm and Home, the yield
per acre, the proper curing of the
fodder, and the feeding value of the
cured material, all are essentials too
often overlooked.
The mixed crop, oats and peas, will
improve in composition, as 1t grows
older and should be allowed to stand
as long as the pea vines remain fairly
erect. In this stage of maturity, the
flesh-forming and fat-forming constit-
uents in the fodder obtained will be
very nearly the correct one for we'll
balanced ration for most animals.
Field corn, millet, sorghum and kafir
corn win decrease very rapidly in pro-
teln content while heading out. The
percentage of crude fiber also de-
creases. Both of these changes are due
to the rapid accumulation Of starch
and sugars In the plant juices at that
time, while there is an increase in the
much-desired nitrogen free extract. In
