and met Hardy few yards below the

of that steady approach to his rifle

disconnected him; it struck a chill
into the heat of his frenzy.
Still Hardy advanced, swift and
| steady, his gaze never so much as
flickering. Now his eyes and forehead,
close beyond the foresight of the rifle,
appeared enormously enlarged to Van
dervyn's distorted vision. Steadily
Hardy put up his hard. took hold of
the rifle barrel, and turned ths muzzle
aside.

Vandervyn had parted with his rife
as if dazed. At the sound of Hardy's
voice fresh wave of crimson flooded
his face. He stepped back, and jerked
out his revolver. Hardy leaped upon
him like panther, and struck the
weapon aside. The heavy bullet
whizzed past Hardy's head. A moment
later, Vandervyn though the younger
and perhaps the stronger of the two,
reeled away, clutching his lacerated
trigger finger. Hardy stood with the
revolver in his hand. He turned to

official quota as set by the govern
ment was received this morning, re-
questing the selection Of ZIG men

That a second call may be issued
to obtain the required quota, Is the
opinion Of County Auditor Hans An

two officials stated today that they are
being besieged with inquiries from

emption claim will be considered.
The officials expect a rushing business

completion Of the examinations, when
the men who have been passed as

mence filing their exemption claims.
Those who have been besieging the
county officials regarding their exemp-
ton claims could be given no salts

any statements or give the men any
assurances, and all must appear be-
fore the board for examination. 1t is
also expected that a great many will
file claims for exemption that cannot
be given even a moments considera-

false grounds. are due for embarass-
ing consequences. All notices for

FORMER LOCAL .
MEN DO GREAT .
SCIENCE WORK
DIR. Stewart and Dr. Coulter
Of University Aid Govern
ment in War Work.

Two former Grand Forks men,
Professor q. w. Stewart and DR.. John
NJ. Coulter. are just now acquiring
national Zane In connection with
their scientific researches / for the
United States government. The two
savants are chairmen Of committees
working under the general super
vision of the national research coun-
Gil which applies scientific principles
to the problems of the war. n
Professor Stewart was professor Of
physics at the North Dakota state
university for a period Of Ave or six
years and is now head Of the physics
department Of the Iowa state univer-
sity in Iowa City. In the national re-
search council Professor Stewart Is
chairman OF the committee on loca.
,tion of saeroplanes by sound and1h has
Just submitted a report to the coun-
oil, as well as to the navy, showing
thatathe problem of accurate location
of noises by sound has been sa~tisfac-
torily solved. In Its work the COM
mittee was able to locate sources Of

was well known in local medical and
Civic league work.
Among the hundreds Of research
scientists who are devoting most of
their time to the solution of war
problems is also DR.. John M. Coulter
of the University of Chicago, a former
member of the faculty of the North
Dakota state university, who heads
the subcommittee on botany. E
At the first glance, 1t is somewhat
difficult to establish a connection be-
tween botany and the science Of war,
but Dr.. Coulter and his committee have
discovered in the shape Of waste ma
terial a satisfactory substitute for cot
ton in the manufacture of high ex-
plosives.
The; committee has been working to
find new sources of rubber, 80 vital
and so costly a product in many war
mechanisms, and DR.. Coulter now re-
ports that the problem is nearing Its
solution. The committee likewise has
interested itself. in the old problem 'of
producing strains Of wheat and other
cereals which will be disease resist
ing. A common weed which is richtin
thymol and can be cultivated as an
abundant source of the drug a been
discovered by the committee under
the leadership Of the former Grand
Forks scientist. Ts !.
