this business OF producing foodstuffs

Young Lieutenant Amid

army was thrilled today by the
heroic action Of a lieutenant in

Knit Goods For Soldiers.

Despite contradictory reports
which have been in circulation,
the knitting Of sweaters, mitts
and other comfort articles for
soldiers is encouraged by the
War Department. The State
Council of Defense is enabled to
make this reassuring announce
ment on official authority to all
mothers, wives, sweethearts and
friends of men in the service.
No attention should be paid to
rumors to the effect that knitted
goods are not acceptable and
that army men are not permitted
to receive them. There is only
one caution issued to the patriotic
women who are producing this
warm apparel: Don't use gaudy
warns. All such articles should
be knitted in neutral colors,
otherwise the soldiers will not be
allowed to use them. The reason
for this ruling is plain. Bright
colors render soldiers conspicu.
ous and expose them unneces'
sarily to the enemy's fire.
It is much preferred by the
IWar Department that knitted
goods be given to the Red Cross
} flor distribution as that organiza
[tion knows exactly where there
is most need of them. The De.
partment however, does not deny
} anyone the right to donate such
!, goods to individuals or to regi'
lEental units.

Admits Placing Bomb On
Chicago Theatre Floor.

Chicago, Nov. 22.-Reinhold
A. Faust. a naturalized German
tonight confessed to Chief of
Police Schuettler that he placed
a bomb in the Auditorium Thea
ter last Friday during a grand
opera performance. The crudely
constructed bomb did not ex-
plode but its discovery caused
much confusion among the audi
ence. Faust, who formerly was
a post. office clerk, also admitted,
the police said. that he had writ
ten blackmailing letters to James
B. Forgan and Frank .. Wit
more, chairman of the board and
president, respectively, of the
First National Bank of Chicago.
Faust said he had hated the
government. Not because it was
at war with his native land but
because of treatment he had re-
ceived while postal employee
for ten years. He said he want
ed only to alarm wealthy persons
so that they would heed his
blackmailing letters.
Faust said the bomb was to b.
ignited by means of a liquid
which he poured on the floor O.
the theater. The fare from
this chemical as it caught fire OF
exposure to the air caused the
first excitement among the audi
tors and the flash that startled
the whole theater was from the
ignition Of some powder spilled
from the constructed bomb
Faust said.
The planter Of the bomb sale
he attended the opera one nigh
to plan how and where to plac
the explosive and then bought
seat as far as possible from th'
stations of the ushers and fir
guards.
At Faust's home the polio
found nitro. .glycerine, gunpowde
powdered dynamite and other es
plosives, as well and another
bomb similar to the one placed i
the auditorium. He was captul
ed as a result Of his letters to tn

Gravity Not a Test
For Gasoline

"The popular opinion that spectre

flee as a test for gasoline is un-
fortunately erroneous" says the U. s.
Bureau Of Standards.
In commenting ON this statement,
recently, one of the heads of the local
agency Of the Standard Oil Company
said.
"The reason gravity is misleading as

You understand that boiling points

about boiling points and their proper

"To be 100 percent efficient, gasoline
must have its boiling points in CON

portant to note that only straight

boiling points in continuous chain.
