the additional force OF those former
wet workers who have been converted
to the dry cause through the working
OF recent prohibition legislation which
has been satisfactory to them.
Senator Penrose started a discus
sion, which he doubtless tackled with
out preparation. when he cast slurs
on the operation of the rural credit
or Federal farm loan bank law. The
truth is that rather unfortunately the
Federal farm loan system had suffered
from the depletion OF the bond mar
ket, incidental to the changing con-
ditions Of the war period. But there
is no such a thing as scandal con-
nected with it Members of the Sem
ate who were called TO conference with
Secretary McAdoo in advance OF the
presentation of the legislation were in
formed fully Of the condition Of af-
fairs. They were satisfied with the
statements of the farm loan board
members and with the statement Of
the Secretary himself. They saw the
cause for this step, which is now pro-
posed, and they saw that any remedy
administered by Congress would nee
essarily be only temporary at best.
1t will require no great amount Of
financing. after conditions become nor
NAL, to restore the banks to the place
! they were before the war stringency
came on.
The government. IN this proposed
Legislation, merely comes to the aid Of
the system by Offering a market for
the sale OF the farm loan bonds. The
market is not available elsewhere at
this time and 1t is obviously UP to the
government to make up for the defect
by creating its own market. The
bonds can be disposed Of later through
the customary channels. The pending
bill is a relief measure. The legisla-
ton which Congress seeks to aid is
sound in every respect. 1t is needed
in the couutry-no one can deny this
So the effort now to alleviate the un-
usual conditions which have been Inn
posed upon the board which admins
ters the law is in the interests Of the
agricultural and livestock sections of
the country. These sections have been
depending upon this legislation and
upon the money which they could OBJ
tain through 1t. The belief Of many
members of Congress is that the issue
should not be clouded-even in the
name OF politics-and that each MEM
bcr should meet the issue in fairness
to the law and its administrators.

MAKING DEADLIEST OF
EXPLOSIVES At i. S. c.

Tri-nitro toluene, from which IS
made the most deadly high explosive
used in the European war, is being
manufactured in large quantities in
the chemistry laboratory at the Uni
versity of Southern California.
During a recent spring vacation, Le-
land l.. Rebber, with two other stu
dents in chemistry, under the direc-
ton Of Professor l.. S. Weatherbee,
completed an apparatus for producing
tOluene. The apparatus is known as
the Rittman tube. There is another
such apparatus at Columbia univer-
gity, where it was invented four yea, 5
ago, and the University Of Southern
California is one Of the three uni
vcrsities in the country to build the
tube.
Toluene is coal tar product and
cen be extensively produced from the
Southern California asphaltic fields.
The machine being too tall to go
into the chemistry building, Rebber
an d his assistants had to cut hole in
the roof and build queer looking
structure which the students have
