Haples. clarlber. Encounter.

The sun was slowly sinking In the
usual place. Claribel Skippenhop. over
whose youthful head scarce thirty-sev-
en- summers had lightly flown, sat in a
regulation-size hammock, idly swinging
her foot to the tune Of "Keep the
Home Liars Squirming" played on a
Hottentot bagpipe AZ miles away.
Suddenly a thought seized her. She
tried to scream and break its hold. She
succeeded in both. Probably one and
fifteen eight-millionths Of cubic
second was allowed to elapse between
her scream and the time the thought
was covering at her feet.
"Avaunt," she cried. ".Don't you

RED CROSS HANDLES
LETTERS TO GERMANY
Follow Plan Which Is as Spy
Proof as Is Possible to
Devise.

To prevent the possibility Of valu-
able information getting into Germany,
the American Red Cross, in sending
letters behind the enemy lines at the
request of persons in this country, Is
following carefully plan worked out
by the state department to do away
with code.
Americans, Germans or others in ther
United States wishing to communicate
with relatives in Germany must now
write out their messages In Red Gross
chapters throughout the country
These are sent through the division Of
ficers Of the organization to national
headquarters. Here they, are rewrit-
ten and the wording absolutely chang
ed to prevent the sending of any dia-
gram or secret code. The messages
are given to the censorship board and
are passed or refused by them as the
case may be. When they reach q neu--
trail country, they are translated on
other paper and in most cases delivered
by the Red Cross of the place, to which.
they go. The plan is considered as.
spy proof us 1t is possible to devise.
During the last % years the practice
has grown up that welfare inquiries
md messages shall be permitted be-
tween civilians in countries which are
ut war with each other. The promis-
cuous sending of letters through or.
ganizations In neutral countries could
not be permitted because of the large
number of enemies In the country. To
prohibit entirely the sending Of mes
sages would, for example, prevent a
loyal American from finding out wheth--
er his sister, unfortunately married to,
German, was alive or dead. Pro-
hibition was in force for time and
pitiful appeals were received by the
Red Cross from French, Belgians and
Italians begging the society to get
word for them as to whether their peo-
pie in the occupied districts were still
alive.
! The state department presented to
the Red Cross the present plan In de-
tail and asked that the Red Cross put
' It into effect. AS 1t was purely hui
manitarian work, the government
could do no more than supervise the,
work. .'.-.-.> >-u---'-~->,

COAL PYRITE IN EXPLOSIVES
Iowa biologists Investigate Coal Fields
for Needed Mineral, With
Excellent Results.

An investigation Of pyrite, an essen
tial material in the manufacture of
high explosives, is being made in the
coal fields Of Iowa under the direction
Of Dean George F. Kay Of the Uni
versity Of Iowa, who is director Of the
Iowa geological survey. High explo-
sives are made with the aid of sui
phuric acid, which in turn Is made
chiefly by roasting pyrite. popularity
known as "fool's gold" Hence the
mineral is in great demand.
For many years pyrite for acid pro-
duction has been imported from Spain,
States Doctor Kay. But in order to save
the ships for more urgent uses, the
shipping board has sharply reduced the
import Of pyrite. The domestic produc-
ton of the mineral must then be un-
usually large, he declares.
New York, Virginia, Georgia, South
Carolina and Alabama have pyrite
mines, and Illinois and several other
states are producing small tonnage
from coal mines. Many hundred thou
sand tons are quickly available from
coal mines, says the state geologist. If
the governments explosive program re-
Quires 1t.
The method Of preparing coal pyrite
for shipment to acid plants is simple
AND cheap. The sulphur balls" must
be separated from adhering coal, and
be crushed. washed and screened into
lump and fine sizes. Coal miners are
willing to load pyrite. and the opera
tors to hoist and ship it, If war indus
tries demand it.
