LARGE POTASH DEPOSITS
Experts, After Careful Search, Found
Them In Saskatchewan.

Following careful examination Of
certain mineral products found In the
dried up bed of an old lake near Swift
Current. Sask., by Prof. ID. McLaren of
the Saskatchewan university. an
nouncement has been made that I'M
mense deposits of potash. sodium, sui.
phate and EPSON salts have been 10.
Gated. Expert engineers have been
called in by group of Saskatchewan
men who have filed claims on the old
lake bed. and In their opinion millions
of tons OF useful mineral deposits are
available for the use of the allies
without the necessity of deep mining.
The minerals can be removed by
steam shovels and the top layers are
already being removed.

self or his machine. For Fonck
has been wounded. Many of his vic
tories were won before the German
adversary had a chance TO fire a shot.
Incidentally he is said to know more
about German aviation than any other
man among the allies.
Brocard taught him to fly anything
and everything. including the first ar
tillery observation machine with two
motors. Fonck himself says he liked
every machine he ever tried except the
one he attempted to make out of his
mothers buffet when he was ten a
old. He spoiled the buffet, he says,
and the results were painfully unsatis-
factory.
Finally, he is modest he keeps say
ing he is lazy. and very likely he really
means it, because he keeps comparing
himself to Guynemer. Guynemer was
always in the air he was untiring, at
work hour after hour. Fonck by COM
parison flies seldom. He never goes up
unless he feels just like it. He cannot
conquer this reluctance TO systematic
daily work, he says. Which seems TO
show that, after all, he is human and
has a failing.

DEAF MUTES MAKE
IDEAL AIR FIGHTERS
Successful Experiments at Min
cola May Result in Their Be-
ing Allowed to Enlist.

Army officers of the Mineola avia-
ton field believe that the ideal air
fighter has been found-the deaf mute.
AS a result of tests made with recent
graduates from the New York Insti-
tuition for the Deaf and Dumb IL is be-
lieved that the war department will
soon authorize their enrolment II the
flying service and that a new field of
war endeavor will be opened to thou
sands of young men all over the coun-
try.
Curiously enough ii has been DIS
covered that deafness eliminates one
of the most dangerous factors in the
training of military aviators. The man
who was born normal but who has
lost his hearing has no sense of mo-
ton, so it is explained by Maj. William
II. Van Tassell, assistant principal OF
the institution. AS a result he loses
the fear and the feeling Of dizziness
which a great altitude often causes In
the normal man.
"a number of our graduates have
been tried out in airplanes at Mineola
for several Sundays past" said Major
Van Tassell, 'and the tests have been
so successful that it is quite likely they
will be allowed to enlist. 1t viii de-
pend upon how further experimental
ton, which is now in progress, turns
out.
"The deaf have no sense of motion.
If they lose the sense of hearing. after
once having possessed 1t, they cannot
tell, for instance, whether they are
swinging in a hammock or whether II
is stationary. They never become sea-
sick or dizzy in high attitudes and lose
all ems 'of dread, such as is expe-
rienced by normal persons. The ex-
plosions of airplane engines are entire
ly unheard by the mutes, although In
all other respects they are exactly as
keen as anyone"

STORED MUCH FROZEN MEAT
German Authorities, in First Days of
War, Modified All Resources of
Refrigerating Plants.

Berlin has 2,200 tons of frozen meat
in its municipal cold storage depots.
The supply is replenished from time to
time SC that it remains at that figure.
On their present meat ration of one
half pound. the Vossische Zeitung says
the Berliners are assured of meat
enough to last all Greater Berlin two
or three weeks, even If there should
be a temporary stoppage of r~eplenish-
ments.
How the cold storage of pork has
helped Germany to "stick it, is ex-
planned In an article In the Chemiker
Zeitung. Early in the war, realizing
the serious effect of the British block
ade on the meat supply, the govern
ment directed the refrigerating indus
try to mobilize its on the
largest possible scale. 1t was ordered
to make preparations for dealing with
millions instead of thousands of pigs.
Cold storage plants were enlarged,
new ones built, and the system so ex-
tended that today there is hardly a
local community without its own re-
frigerating facilities.
Every fortress has a freezing plant
of its OWL In case of siege 1t will
assist materially in the preservation of
perishable foods, especially meat, eggs,
fish and butter.
"The German authorities" says the
article, shave taken advantage of cold
storage to the fullest extent, thereby
greatly easing the economic conduct
of the war;"

WHAT SCOTLAND IS DOING
This Little Country Has Already
cheerfully Done Very Much More
Than Her Share.

We are pretty well acquainted in this
country with the part Canada is TAX
ing in the war. We have been advised
from time to time of the individual
sacrinces being made by the people
to the north of us. We know only in
a general way what other people are
doing. So it as refreshing news
to hear from the lips of such q man
al Harry Lauder the heroic work and
sacrifices of the Scots.
More than 100000 Scotchmen are
under arms, or have given up their
lives in the struggle. And Scotland
is a small country. In the cities and
towns there are no more eligible men
no more men fit to bear arms. They
have all departed. Scotland is a Land
of old men and women and little chill
dren-and crippled soldiers. 1t is not
the Scotland of three years ago. with
a husky set of strapping young fellows
filling the fields and working in the
mines and mills.
Not only that, but the people do not
complain. There are no riots because
of the conditions-no ~murmurings
against their fate. The war Is on the
Scots will fight it out. That is the
spirit one finds in Scotland. among
those old men and women and among
the little children. 1t Is the spirit one
finds out In the trenches, where the
Scottish soldiers stand on guard and
meet the enemy face to face.
The history Of Scotland is too well
understood to call attention to 1t here.
The record Of the Scots, made in the
long ago, still is fresh in the mind OF
every one who knows history. So it
isn't necessary to state hat the Scots
are born fighters, that they are not
going to give up. They have done In
this wal exactly what those familiar
with Scottish history expected them to
do. And they win not fail at any time
in the future.-Columbus Dispatch

C SHORTAGE HITS
SPAIN AND PORTUGAL

In Spain and Portugal sugar prices
are soaring. Both countries have been
seriously affected by the short beet
sugar crop in Europe and the lack Of
ocean tonnage to move stocks of cane
sugar isolated in far away ports.
GRADUATED sugar. home grown, was
being sold i'm Barcelona, Spain, during
the early summer at 10 cents a pound.
The price of brown sugar in Lisbon,
Portugal. fixed by governmental order,
was S1.04 to SLIP a pound.
BY comparison the price of beet
sugar in Sweden Is IA cents a pound.

TOUGH ON FRENCH GIRLS
They May Not Wear Insignia OF

without such other souvenirs as they
used to acquire through their dough-

in official language:
Concerning French citizens consent

articles of clothing or equipment:
