MAKING GLYCERIN BY
 FERMENTATION OF SUGAR

Washington, Dec 4.-Out of the wars necessities has been developed ne wsynthetic process of making gly- cerin by fermentation of. sugar in quantity at low cost, which govern ment officials say will revolutionize production. This secret, carefully guarded while the war lasted, was dis closed today in a treasury report.
 In a little laboratory up under the caves of the treasury building, chem ists of the internal revenue bureau worked for months on information reaching the government in the spring of last year that Germany was pro ducing glyeerin through ferrnenta- tien process was able to turn out ex- plosives. requiring great quantities of glycerin in spite of the scarcity of fats. John R. Oeff is the chemist who directed the experiments which finally solved the German riddle,
 The process was tried out on large Scale in a chemical plant at Aurora, H.. and found to be commercially profitable. Then the secret was con veyed to allied governments and to manufacturing chemists, who proposed to undertake commercial exploitation of the process.

SHOE GUARANTEES AND PRICES.

A CAUTIOUS LOT are the retail shoe dealers of Okla
homa as evidenced by the action Of the association at its
recent meeting here in passing resolution eliminating most
Of the guarantees for shoe leather At present prices which
show no signs Of going into decline II would seem one
pays enough to get an insurance policy thrown in with his
English walking shoes pump, or cslords. That would be
the opinion Of ultimate consumer whose knowlsdge OF
the shoe trade is based buying footwear for growing
and energetic family but the shoe seem TO think other
wise Also dScardng the guarantee arouses suspicion IN
the lay mind that an inferior article may be offered even
at the superior prices prevailing and likely to continue
And that would certainly be calamity to the man who
seems to do most Of his week ending in shoe emporium
With due regard to the retail shoe men, comparatively
few of whom are listed with the predatory rich does
seem that shoe prices high and there regret that
the shoe men didn't kick them around while slaniNlng

holding hides at an exobtant figure because the trade
will stand IL that the shoe machinery trust is still trusting
and other possib, and plausible theories to account for
inflated values Possibly the retailers as helple" as
the consumers. but something should be done lest walking
become luxury the proearat forced TO - bareiooted
However the retailers offered helpful hint, and
that is to pay attention to the repair department
Repairs are also expensive, but still less costly
than new shoes and those who want small change

consider the helpful haliso and the stitch in time

DO YOUR COAL SHOPPING EARLY.

THE WARNING from Washington urging Oklahoma
coal consumers to ls in their supply for next winter
early should not go unheeded There was suffering 100
this state and others last year because Of mistaken policy
Of postponing fuel purchases until the blizzard The
fuel administration partly to blame for that blunder
but it shouldn't be repeated All who should tll the
coal bin before the wanes and even such precau
ton will leave horde OF buyers for the chilly season there
being always a large number who must procure all supplies
in small quantities needed And in considering the coal
question it is also well to remember the retiring d'pos
on Of the gas pressur. Don't forget its tendency 10 shrink
from cold weather the trust magnate shuns publicity
Don't depend entirely but have coal or some other
auxiliary source Of heat for the days when heat will be
needed most hint to the wise is sufficient but so many
are not wise that we may mention il again.
