MARKS OF DANGER
Certain Characteristics Distin-
guish Poisonous Mushrooms.
Edible Varieties May Be Easily Identi-
fled With Exercise of a Little
Care, Says Agricultural
Expert.

Every year there are a few cases
of mushroom poisoning. In some i'm
stances the individual is only made
sick, while in other cases the results
are fatal.
1t is difficult to lay down any hard
and fast rules that can be used to dis
tinguish between edible and poisonous
mushrooms. In some cases a species
that may be harmless for one individ-
ual may cause serious digestive dis
turbances in another. There is, how
ever, one group Of mushrooms that is
deadly poisonous. This is the group
Of Amanitas, says w. w. Robbins Of
the Colorado Agricultural college.
There are a number Of species Of
Amanita, all Of which are deadly pois-
onous. The deadly Amanitas have
white gills, ring about the stem just
beneath the cap, and a cup or scales
at the base of the stem.
Do not place any reliance In the
many popular and traditional tests Of
poisonous or edible qualities. These
tests are entirely worthless. The dis

in water; or brilliant coloration-are
no indication of either poisonous or
edible qualities. Furthermore, the
notion that poisonous mushrooms can
be rendered harmless by boiling in
water and then washing thoroughly in
cold water is erroneous.
One can easily become familiar with
80
There are many of these springing up
in our lawns, dooryards and along
fences. One may feel absolutely safe
in using all those mushrooms having
black gills which dissolve with age
into an inky mass. These, of course
must be eaten before turning black,
but usually several stages of ripening
will be found IN the same clump or
group of individuals, so that identif1-
cation can be made. Among these
black gill species are the Shaggy
mane," with more or less bell-shaped,
creamy-white cap which becomes shag-
gy, and the 'fpky-cap," growing in
dense clusters. These two are both
common in lawns, gardens, etc, from
spring to autumn and are among the
best of our edible forms. All of the
puff-balls are edible, and excellent If
eaten when the flesh is white and
solid.
Mushrooms are sometimes soon at
tackled by worms, and in gathering
those which have perhaps stood long
er than the others it is we'll to break
off the caps and note whether the
worms have worked their way up
through the stalk into the cap.
The deadly mushrooms are those
which possess the following three char
acteristics: ~ white gills; (2) a
ring on the stem just beneath the caps
and (3) a cup or scales at the base Of
the stem.

Ihe drawing PROBABLY Will be held IN
the big reception room of the War De-
partment adjoining Secretary Bakers
Office. The Secretary is willing to do
the drawing himself, but that point has
not take part personally in the draw
ing.
Fate In Capsules.
Officials are unwilling to disclose the
details of the drawing itself, but the
suggestion which seems to have the
most support is that the numbers
stamped on thin slips Of paper, be in
closed in non-transparent gelatin cap
sci to be removed one at time by
the official designated to do that work
The number of capsules which would
be necessary will be equal, of course,
to the total in the largest district.
Thus under the present arrangement
1000 numbers would have to be drawn.
Amalgamation of smaller districts and
division of the large ones may be de-
cided on, however, to reduce the varia.
tions.
How 1t Will Work.
Information so far available indi-
Gates that the drawing will work out
in this way: There are 1850 exemp-
tion districts. When the first number
is drawn-say No. lot will be re-
corded as No. l, with the serial num-
Der (ten) following. The record would
show that the men whose cards bear
the serial No. 10 in each of 1850 ex-
emption districts would be first to ap-
pear before the exemption boards.
at the drawing would be No. l, serial
No. 10.
1t is assumed that when the draw
ing is complete the government will
compute how many men are repre-
sented by No. 1 in the drawing and
by the numbers Immediately succeed
ing, and then issue an order for
enough to report to make the total de-
sired for the first army. For instance,
the first call might be for Nos. to
100 in all districts. When the first
exemption came in each district No
101 would be called, and so on.
Buttons For Those Exempt.
To prevent embarrassment among
those who are exempt, the War De-
partment has decided to give with
each exemption certificate bronze
badge bearing the inscription "EX-
S." The design for this
badge has been approved by Secretary
Baker and number already are in
process of manufacture 1t is intend
ed to protect those exempted from any
of being slackers
The law specifies that exemptions
are not permanent unless the cause
for which they are granted is perman-
ent. For instance, if man should be
exempted on the first call because of
a dependent relative and that relative
should die or become self-supporting
before the second call, the registrant
would be liable for service under the
second call. 1t will be the duty of the
exemption boards to keep watch of
such cases and recall men who have
been passed over once, but whose
status may have changed before the

MOBM.ZGlG THE RUBBER INDUSTRY Frank C. Carpenter

tneir depth in the water, and rubber Is aiso @ used in laying the submarine mines | ne crews of our submarines have rub per boots, hats and oversuits, and they nave escape helmets which contain great deal of rubber.
 In one part of the factory they were making rubber sheets, which will be sent out as part of the Red Cross supplies, ana rubber operating aprons. to be used oy the doctors. The government IS now asking for something like 5000 doctors 70 go to France and each of these must nave an extensive rubber equipment, in- cluolng tools that are largely made or rubber. We have already six base hospi- tals in France and these have in the neighborhood of 10000 beds. The patients In them need hot water bags, ice bags and rubber pillows and mattresses. The nurses use rubber gloves and the attend ants have rubber-tired wheelbarrows for carrying the patients. All of these sup plies will be enormously increased when our great army has gone to the field.
 In going through the factory as de- scribed, I started at the basement, where there were acres of rooms filled with rubber as 1t comes from the plan- tations, and followed the rubber hams and crepe rubber through their many processes Into goods of one kind or another. The first process IS softening the rubber and crushing the Jumps be- tween great corrugated rollers of steel. The softening is done in vats Of hot water. Then comes the crushing, which brings the rubber out in great sheets. It Is next washed by streams of rum ming water until all the dirt and grit are removed and then rolled out Into thin, porous sheets. It Is moved back and forth between the rollers, kneaded and worked over and over and mixed with . binding material, so that when 1t Is finished 1t Is in rubber sheets about quarter of an inch thick, and 1t may be white, black or red, accord ing to the coloring matter that is mixed. with it. The necessary sulphur Is then added for vulcanization and 1t Is treated with other ingredients, ac- cording to the kind of product desired.
 In the making of tires, mixture of cloth or cord is used to build up the fabric, each factory having it's own methods of manipulation and construc- tion. The cotton employed must be of the very best and of the longest staple, and thousands of bales are consumed in this way every year. We import 8 great deal of Egyptian cotton for the purpose, and there is one company here which has it's own plantation in Ari- zona and is raising cotton there. The amount planted this year was more than 10000 acres. Another company has a cotton mill of it's own It wants to experiment and will take the cotton from its own fields into it's own mill and make it's own tire fabric. This new cotton mill is in New England, not far from Providence, R. I. It already em- ployes 1900 hands.
 The rubber industry has made Akron one of the booming towns of the United States. There is no special reason for
