PsriIous e. Handle.

Tho production Of chrysarobin, a
medicinal principle much used in par
asitic skin diseases, is attended with
great peril. 1t forms about 50 per
cent of goa powder, obtained from
cavities in the Brazilian araroba tree
(Andira anarabo), and In securing this
powder the trees are felled, though
eighty to one hundred feet high. and
often three feet in diameter. The ma
terial ls found as damp pulp or Jumps
In the center of the trunks, the yield
sometimes reaching sixty or sixty-five
pounds per tree, with none at all In
some trees. The accompanying caus-
tic liquid makes the substance difficult
to handle and, despite gloves and
masks, workers for any length Of time
invariably lose their hair, eyebrows
and eyelashes and sometimes even be-
come blind. while sores from the burns
may cause long disability. A cat has
been known to lose its fur from sleep
ing on bag of the powder.

Governor Burke Coming

Hpn. John Burke, Treasurer
Of the United States, will deliver
an address in the opera house, at
8:15, Wednesday evening, Oct.
1S. Governor BurkeI is one OF
the leading platform men Of
the country and as political
speaker he has few equals. His
resi-. ence in Washington has
placed him in close touch with
the affairs of the nations, both
foreign and domestic, and those
who hear him Wednesday are
assured an able discussion Of the
sue of the present campaign. A
cordial invitation is extended to
all, to- the ladies and high school
students, as we'll as to the Vot-
ers. The orchestra will entertain
those who come early in order
to secure a seat.

snubbsd the Composer.

Gustav Mailer had a queer expert
ence in Munich one day for which his
name was partly responsible. His new
symphony was being rehearsed, and he
took advantage Of an hours intermis-
sion to get some fresh air. ION return
ing to the building" says Munich pa
per, "he lost his way and tried to
reach the hall through corridor in
which plasterers were at work. You
cannot pass through here,' he was told.
But 1 am Mailer Mahler is the Ger
man for painter.) You look it. was
the unsympathetic reply of the man
who blocked his way. We are not
ready for the painters yet, so run on
And the composer, realizing that argu-
ment would be useless, plunged into
the labyrinth and finally reached his
destination

Strength Of . Flower.

One of the most remarkable exhibi-
tions of plant force ever saw, says
John Burroughs in "The Breath of
Life," was in western city, where 1
observed a wild sunflower forcing its
way up through the asphalt pavement.
The folded and compressed leaves of
the plant, like mans fist, had pushed
against the hard but flexible concrete
until 1t bulged up and split and let the
irrepressible plant through. The force
exerted must have been many pounds.
l think it doubtful If the strongest man
could have pushed his fist through such
resisting medium.
Life activities are q kind of explo.
sion, and the slow continued explo-
sions of this growing plant rent the
pavement as surely as powder would
have done. It Is doubtful If any culti-
vated plant could have overcome such
odds. 1t required the force of the un-
tanned hairy plant of the plains to ac-
complish the feat.

Mon by Good looka.

One man In English history owed his
success In life almost wholly to his
good looks. 1t was George Villiers,
first duke Of Buckingham. James I.
was wanting private secretary, and
when young vlliers applied for the po-
sition. the king was much impressed
with the beauty of his person and the
gracefulness Of his manners. He gave
him the place, and that was the begin
ming of great career. From that time
to the end Of james reign the history
of England was in great part the per-
sonal history Of George Villiers, the ad.
venturer-frst the cupbearer, in a few
weeks knighted, then made gentle
man of the bedchamber and knight of
the Order of the Garter; then success
sively he was made a baron, a Wis.
count, an earl, marquis and lord high
admiral Of England.

-rsst,na woo,sns.

Pure woolens are adulteratel even
more than silk because they are In
greater demand and also because they
are quite easy to initiate. Many q

tains from 80 to 60 per cent cotton.
Blankets sold as "half WOOL have fire.
quently been found to contain only 10
per cent of pure wool There are ma
chimes today which cleverly wrap
wool around cotton threads, and the
finished product has every appearance
Of being 'all wool" Another method
Of ,adulterating is by taking cotton
cloth and "felting'' short woolen
threads upon its surface by means Of
heat, moisture and pressure.
A purchaser may be fully convinced
from the appearance and feeling of
cloth that it is all wool, but the only
safe method is to take home the sam
pie and make tests. Immerse the sam
pie Of so called wool in oil Of vitriol for
about two minutes. This will destroy
the cotton, but the wool will not be
affected. Another test is to m0isten a
sample with 80 per cent nitric acid.
This will turn the wool yellow. but the
cotton will retain its color.-Washing-

WILL NEVER MEET STECHER.
CHAMPION GOTCH DECLARES
Heavyweight Titleholder Says Nebraska
Wrestler Is Only a Boy-Does Not
Think Public Demands Match.

Special Correspondence of The star.
MINNEAPOLIS, January S.-Joe
| Stecher. the Nebraska wrestler. whose
marked success on the mat has created
a new interest in the graphing game,
is far from that coveted goai-the
world championship. While he is one
of the best wrestlers in the country
today among the title contenders
Stecher will not be fully developed for
more than two years, and, furthermore,
he will never be offered an opportunity
of meeting Frank Gotch for the cham
pionship title.
| Frank Gotch. worlds greatest wrest-
Ter and present-day farmer of wealth.
is authority for the above statement
concerning Stecher. Gotch was a WISH
tor in Minneapolis yesterday. and he
left the city last night after completing
some private business relative to farm
lands. The Iowa farmer was registered
at the Dyckman Hotel, and practically
every hour of his time in the city was
spent in the hostelry. He expected to
spend today at his home in Humboldt,
Iowa, and tomorrow will leave with
his wife and son for the Pacific coast.
Will Not Wrestle Again.
Frank will never Wrestle again. He
says so, and, furthermore, he says 1t
as though he means it. He regards
lStecher as a coming youngster who is
in need of experience, and, incidentally,
The does not take the Nebraska mans
series of victories seriously because OF
a dearth of wrestling material through
out the country. However. the great
est of all wrestlers was willing to talk
of the mat pastime and of his success,
but he declares he can see no reason
for considering a match with Stecher.
II have seen Stecher work and l like
his STYLE" said Gotch. He has the
making of a great wrestler, but he
should not be crowded. He hasn't per-
! formed any feats e which any one
should become excited. Take the list
of men over whom he has scored VIC
tories and no one can be considered a
title contender. Hussane, Cutler ana
other stars of a few years ago have
been beaten by the young Nebraskan,
but YOU must stop and consider this
Ifact-these men were stars several
years ago and are just about all
through now.
Nothing to Gain by Big Match.
Asked if he would consider wrestling
Stecher, the Iowa farmer was present
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1916-01-09

with an emphatic reply. "Why should
/ wrestle him? asked Gotch. "He has
nothing that I want. / would have
everything to lose and not a thing to
gain-unless it were the gate receipts
and I don't think there is money
enough in the wrestling game to entice
me out of retirement. In order to
drag me out promoters would ave to
offer me practically all of the money
to be taken in, and I would not like to
be considered a glutton; However,
of land that is listed in my name came
from the sport-loving public, and if
that same public. should demand that
I step out and depend my title. then l
would wrestle Stecher and the money
would make no difference. But COM
paratively few fans have ever sug-
gested that I. meet him, and unless !

AFTER NEWARK BACKER.
Players and Park Available, But
No Angel in Sight.
