Washington.-Vice Admiral Sims
cabled the Navy Department that an
American patrol vessel, on duty at
night in the war zone, had fired on
an Italian submarine which failed to
answer recognition signals, killing
one officer and one enlisted man. Sec

GERMAN SAILORS MuTlNY
Another Crew Attempts To Escape To
Norway-RevoIt Is Said To Have
Spread To Army.

Amsterdam.-A mutiny among the
crews of four battleships of the Ger
man fleet has taken place at Wllhelms-
haven. One of these battleships was
the Westfalen, whose captain was
thrown overheard and drowned. The
seamen landed. Marines refused to
fire on them, whereupon soldiers sur
rounded the sailors, who surrendered.
The crew on the warship Nurnberg
also was involved in the revolutionary
outbreak. The men on the Nurnberg
seized the officers and proceeded in the
direction of Norway, with the inten-
ton of being interned. The warship
was overtaken by destroyers and
forced to surrender.
Emperor William went to Wilhelms-
haven and ordered that one out OF
every seven mutineers be shot. Chan
cellor Michaels protested, with the re-
suit that only three were shot. Heavy
sentences were imposed on the others.
One of the reasons for the mutiny was
bad and inadequate food. The West
fallen is battleship of $4,000 tons,
built in 1906. The Nurnberg is new
vessel. She is a namesake of the
cruiser Nurnberg, sunk by the British
in the battle off the Falkland Islands
in December, 1914 Several mutinous
outbreaks also are reported to have
taken place among soldiers at the
front. They were not of such grave
character, dispatches say.

.HY-
Women Should Drop the
Platinum Fad

n MEXICAN women have been ask
n ed by the American Chemical
society to stop purchasing plati
mum jewelry because the country's out
put Of high explosives is seriously NEIL
aced by the shortage Of this metal.
ION behalf of the chemical manu-
facturers Of the country, who are striv-
ing to provide our government with its
many necessities, and in behalf Of
those conducting scientific research for
the public sood,' said the society's
statement, 1.-The American Chemical so
ciety appeals to the loyal women Of the
United States to refrain from purchas-
Ing platinum in the form of jewelry
and to help discourage the use Of this
metal for ornamental or other unnec-
essary purposes, so that the limited
supply may be made available for use
where it can do the greatest good In
the service Of our beloved country.
Few realize that the dictators OF
fashion have caused the price Of plati-
mum to advance within the last few
years until today 1t is worth five times
as much as gold. As result Of this
mood of Dame Fashion the chemical
industries OF the country are finding
it exceedingly difficult to secure the
supplies they need, while our govern
ment as well as all chemical labora-
tories il greatly handicapped by its
scarcity. Platinum is essential for pro-
ducing sulphuric acid, which in its
turn IS an absolute necessity in the
production Of high explosives.
1.-The matter has become so serious
that scientific and Industrial advance
ment is suffering severely because of
the lack Of platinum and the almost
prohibitive price to which its scarcity
has given rise. 1t seems a shame,
especially at this time, that personal
vanity should prove such handicap to
the government and that a mere frivo-
lous fad should deprive chemists and
manufacturers Of the proper tools for
the prosecution Of the demands placed
upon them

TAX PAYING TIME
May 81, Is the Last Day That One.
Half Of Realty Taxes May Be
Paid-Do Not Wait to
Last Day.

County Treasurer John B. Orion
calls attention to the fact that May
81 is the last day upon which one-half
of real estate taxes may be paid, and
that If One-half is not paid by that
date, the entire tax becomes delin-
quent, and draws Is per cent interest
and can only be settled by payment
in full.
Taxpayers should not put off this
payment to the last day, as if they
make an error in computation and fail
to remit the full amount due, the pay
ments can not be accepted and their
taxes then become delinquent.

How to Apply Fertilizers and Lime to
the Sell.

How to Apply Fertilizers and Lime TO
the Sell.
After blowing or working with n
spade 1t is usually desirable to apply
some form of fertilizer. Barnyard or
stable manure, which furnishes both
plant food and humus. is undoubtedly
the best. and applications Of from
twenty to thirty tons to the acre are
satisfactory. The manure should be
distributed evenly over the surface and
later worked in with Il hoe and rake
Frequently ii is advisable also to apply
commercial fertilizer. especially phos-
plate. An application of 800 to COO
pounds of acid phosphate to the acre
is usually sufficient. In order to sup
ply potash, if this is needed, unleached
wood ashes may be distributed over
the garden at the rate of thousand
pounds to the acre. Wet, or leached.
ashes have less fertilizer value. Two
thousand pounds Of these should be
used. In order to start the plants
early in the spring applications Of
hundred pounds to the acre Of nitrate
of soda are sometimes used. 1t is i'm
pOrtant. however, to remember that no
form of commercial fertilizer will yield
good results unless the soil is well
supplied with humus This frequently
may be furnished in the form of sod or
other vegetation which has overgrown
garden spot and may be turned IN
der with pillow or spade
In certain localities it also Is advis-
able to test the soil for acidity. Natu-
rally moist soils are apt to he sour
and in such q condition are not likely
to produce the most satisfactory crops
The test for acidity or sourness is a
very simple one. A handful Of the soil
slightly moistened and piece Of blue
litmus paper, which can be obtained
from any drug store, are all that is
necessary. When placed on sour soil
the paper will turn red. To correct
such condition lime should be used.
The ground should be covered with a
thin coat Of air slaked lime and the lat
ter worked in we'll Lime is not a plant
food. but it will correct the acidity and
will improve the physical condition of
the soil.
