New York, Aug. 25-Oils and sug-

today's early trading at gains, rang
ing from large fractions to two

Steel and other equipments of that
class moved within narrow and ire
gular limits. Industrial Alcohol re-
acted 2 Ia and Anaconda 1 la
Such tendencies as were manifested
during today's dull session resulted
mainly from the weekly closing of
short contracts. Moderate pressure
was fexerted against some of the cop

further accumulation of Rock Island

THEORY OF LIQUID
DECARBONIZERS.
J. Y. asks: What is the theory Of
action Of liquid deca rbonizers?
Answer: We understand. it to be,
as follows: So called carbon de-
posits are not composed of pure car
bon alone. but of carbon and dust
particles bound together by means
of partially carbonized substances
derived from the fuel and the oil.
These partly carbonized .binders''
are. to some extent, soluble and.
when they are softened or dissolved,
the incrustations of which Their
form part become loose and dis.
integrate or crumble to such an ex.
tent that they no longer adhere t.
the metallic surfaces Of the cylinder
but become detached and pass on
with the exhaust gases. Kerosene
alcohol benzol and acetcne are
among the liquids which are believed
to exert this solvent action.

BODY OF LIEUT.. WELSH,
 BOMB THROWER, FOUND

The Navy Department authorizes the following:
 The body of Liuet. Luther Welsh, of Kansas City, killed by the explosion of a bomb in a flight at the naval proving grounds, Indianhead, Maryland, on No vember 8 1916, washed ashore and was recovered by a workman on June %. The remains, which were identified, had foated two miles down the Poto- mac and to the opposite side of the river. It had been supposed, until the recovery Tuesday, that the body had been destroyed in the explosion.
 Lieut.. Welsh and c. K. Bronson, of New York, went aloft in a naval hy- droplane at Indianhead on the after noon of November s, 1916, for exper- mental practice. Anti-submarine bombs were to be dropped at target in the Potomac river Two bombs were successfully reelased, but the third exploded near the machine, wrecking the plane and killing both oc- cupants. The body of Lieut.. Bronson was recovered shortly after the acci- dent, but no trace could be found of his companion.

ON GUARD FOR
 INTRIGUERS
Department of Justice Keeps Close Watch On All Alien
 Enemies.

WASHINGTON, July :, (By MaiD. That German intrigues against property and stations of the United States navy in this country must still be carefully guarded against is shown by a case which is now before the De- partment of Justice, says a statement issued here today at navy league head quarters.
 In a southern city with population of about SOOOO people, says this state ment there is a colony of German sub jectS who recently petitioned the Gov ernment, through the Department of Justice, to waive certain of the reStric- tionS placed upon them as to their residence in fixed zones.
 These restrictions prevent alien enc mics from living or going within a certain distance of any naval station or ship.
 The petition from the Germans of the Southern city, mentioned above, was so phraSed on its face that it ap- peared to be an entirely harmless re- quest. Federal officials in the South were inclined to grant it. The petition was, however, referred to Washington, An investigation proved that there was on foot a scheme to place certain German agents close to the navy yard where considerable mischief might be done. 1t has now been decided that, not only will the areas from which these Germans are barred not be linn tied or reduced, but that increased sur veillance over every movemnt will be maintained
 The belief is expressed here that had this request been granted, it was the intention of alien enemies in other cities to make a similar request, and that in the end serious harm might have resulted.

AN EXTRA SESSION DEPENDS
On THE OPINION OF WEST

Attorney General West returned
to Tallahassee this morning, and has
not yet had opportunity to render a
decision on the request made Of him
by Comptroller Ernest Amos. as 10
whether or not the governor can
veto part of an item in an appropria
ton bill and leave the remainder of
the Item legal and binding. This op-
ihion has been requested because the
governor recently vetoed parts of
several items in the general appro
priation bill. Amos wants this opin
ion in order to protect himself in ,s-
sains warrants. 1t is well known
that the governor can veto anv item
hut in this instance he hasvetoed
parts of items and this is establishing
new precedent. If the attorney gen
era. decides that the governor could
not legally veto parts of any item in
an appropriation bill. many State
salaries will be held up and an ex.
ira session of the legislature made

COMMERCIAL PRODUCTION
OF AMERICAN CAMpHOR

amphOr is now grown in Florida
and Texas, the trees forming attrac-
tive hedges. Mr.. Samuel G.. Hood,
formerly Of the ni;ed states Bureau
of Plant Industry, gave lately in the
Journal OF Industrial and Ensineer.
ing Chemistry of the American
Chemical Society the results. of MANY
tests made on Florida camphor trees
He reached the conclusion that the
best yield is obtained from TRIMMING
the hedges in the spring and fall
during the dormant seasons of the
trees. If the outer leaves and twigs
are allowed to remain on the tree
through another growing season. the
yield is decreased. The faster the
trees grow the more gum they Sc
crete, so that better results are oh
tanned from trees growing on good
ground than on poor land. Forcinc
the trees with fertilizer also helms
to produce gum Even very slight
shade decreases the yield. His re-
suits show little more than -
per cent of pure camphor from the
leaves and twigs.
For many years this product has
oeen contraced by the japanese, and

which is being made in this country
