legislature. The Federation also axis
for a reduction of the waiting period,
which has been found to be too long
under conditions of labor in New
Mexico. This also will undoubtedly
be remedied; but both these sugges-
tons of the, Federation go to the de-
tails of the bill and not to the frame
work and leave Mr., Rogers in a sit
uation where the only conclusion that
he and his readers may draw is that
the workman to be compensated for
his injuries is satisfied with the law
under which that compensation is to
be fixed and paid.
There is one feature of the law that
perhaps pinches Mr.. Rogers fingers.
That feature is that the law abolishes
percentage contracts and fixes the
limit Of charges for fees Of attorneys
for the workman and his dependents
at five per cent Of the recovery. In
this channel of legal activities the
power of the unrestricted contract is
abolished.

What does the government want
with peach stones? This has recently
been asked very often. They are used
as raw material for making the best
grade of absorbent charcoal ever pro-
duced, and the charcoal is used in gas
mask respirators for absorbing deadly
gases sent over by the enemy.
Charcoal is produced by roasting
wood, dried blood or other organic
material, and this roasting decom-
poses the material into two parts. one
of them gaseous, WHICH passes off
from the retorts, and one of them
solid, which remains behind as char
coal. Every minutest cell of the wood
and every part of a cell gave up some
of the gas during the operation and
thus left minute pores all through
the material. Thus the wood charcoal
that we know is very brisk for it's
weight and contains innumerable fine
pores. Now, this highly porous char
coal has a remarkable property of
absorbing certain kinds of substances.
Enormous quantities are used in
clarifying the decoloring beet and. cane
Juices in sugar manufacture; most
drugs have to be bone BACKED be-
fore white product can be obtained,
and we have all taken charcoal tab
let's for the purpose of removing dis
Pressing gases arising from digestive
disorders. .s-a
The application of charcoal to the
gas mask then is obvious. The con-
taminated air passes through q layer
of highly active carbon before it
reaches the mouth, and the poisonous
material is absorbed 1t is apparent
that the more active the charcoal the
more the absorbing power can be
packed into the small box on the front
of the mask, Hence, before charcoal
was used successfully in masks a very
active form had to be produced. And
it was found that the hard, dense,
compact substance of nut shells and
fruit stones formed the most con-
dehsed and actively absorbing char
coal. The pores of the charcoal ma
terial are infinitely fine and numer-
Gus, and hence a given volume of the
carbon will do far more work than
the same yalume of other kinds of
charcoal.
Perhaps some other very dense
plant materials, such as ebony and
lignum-vitae, would also make good
carbon; but for obvious reasons waste
products like nut shells and fruit
stones are preferred. Can Uncle sam
collect enough of such materials for
what he needs, remembering that the
char In the masks becomes Inactive
and has to be renewed? 1t is be-
iieved that he can if people are care
full enough in saving this new object
of salvage. Suppose it takes two
dozen stones to make enough carbon
for mask; there are very few people
in this country who do not eat that
many peaches or their equivalent in
plums and nuts in year. If these
stones and shells are turned in at the
collecting depots they will contribute
to the making of an enormous number
of masks.
1t must not he understood that the
charcoal is TO be used universally In

MY MOTHERS BIBLE.

The book is all that's left me now,
Tears Will unbidden start
With faltering lip and throbbing brow
/ press it to my heart.
For many generations past,
Here is our family tree:
My mothers hand this Bible clasped;
She, dying, gave it me.
All, we'll do ! remember those
Whose names these records bear,
Who round the .reathstone used to
close
After the evening prayer.
And speak of what these pages said,
In tones my heart would thrill!
Though they are with the silent dead,
Here are they living still!
My father read this holy book
To brothers, sisters, dear;
How calm was my poor mothers look
Who leaned Gods word to hear.
Her angel facet see it yet!
What thronging memories come!
Again that little group is met
Within the halls of home!
Thou truest friend man ever knew,
Thy constaney I've tried;
Where all were false Tfound thee true
My counsellor and guide.
The mines of earth no treasure give
That could this volume buy;
In teaching me the way to live,
1t taught me how to die.

The Jar Family ~ ROY ; n.eAegs...

1--WE invited Prof. Pomfret and his
wife home to dinner with us said
Mrs. Jarr. DO not try to tell your
old funny stories to the professor and
his wife. They are intellectual peo-
pie and will not be at all interested
in the side splitting whimsicalities as
to what funny things negro soldiers,
Irish soldiers and Jewish soldiers said
in the trenches-the kind of stories
You retail to your friend Gus, the
saloonkeeper, and Mr.. Slavinsky, the

And he allowed himself to be led
into the front room to again meet
Prof. Ponsonby Pomfret and his wife.
The professor was a tiny, snug look
ing man, with an aquiline nose and
heavy mop of hair, worn long. His
wife was q little blue eyed, yellow
haired woman, who looked like ca
nary, and, as it TRANSFERRED, had about
the same mental equipment as that
feathered twitterer.

Mr.. Jarr wasn't to be out talked on

WHERE RAINBOW NEVER FADES

1t cannot be that the earth is mans
only abiding place. 1t cannot be that
our life is a mere bubble east up by
eternity TO float moment on it's
waves and then sink into nothingness.
Else why is it that the glorious aspir-
atoms which leap like angels from
the temple of our hearts are forever
wandering unsatisfied? Why is 1t
that all the stars that hold their fes-
tival around the midnight throne are
set above the grasp of our limited
facilities, forever hooking us with
their unapproachable glory? And,
finally, why is it that bright forms
are taken from us, leaving the thou
sand streams of our affections to flow
back in Alpine torrents upon our
hearts. There is n realism where the
rainbow never fades: where the stars
will be spread out before us like islands
that slumher in the ocean, and where
the beautiful beings which now pass
before us like shadows will stay in our
presence forever.

Why Peach Stones Are Needed In
Making Gas Masks

gas masks to the exclusion of chemi-
calls. Charcoal will not absorb all
gases effectively, hence masks will
still depend largely upon chemical
protection. But the carbon is more
easily handled than chemicals. 1t can
be taken out and revived by roasting,
and it will probably prove to be much
cheaper than most chemicals.

DRAFT ACE LIMITS
NOT YET AGREED TO
Bill Completely Drawn with Blanks
to Be Filled Monday.

Notwithstanding all speculation as
to the draft age limits which will be
fixed in Secretary Bakers new man
power bill, 1t became known yesterday
that the age limits have not been de-
finitely agreed upon. The bill itself
has been entirely drafted. but the
section fixing the ages of the men to
be drafted has been written in blank
Final determination of the age limits,
1t is understood, will not be made
until next Monday.
The President is known to be
strongly opposed 10 any lowering Of
the draft age below the present mini
mum Of q. 1t is understood that the
President inclines favorably toward
making 36 the maximum and 81 the
minimum.
Oficials in all departments Of the
government engaged In war work
have from time to time expressed the
fear that the raising the draft age
limit to 45 years or even to 10 might
interfere very seriously with the labor
problem in the shipyards and muni-
ton factories. This argument has had
great weight with those who favor
36 years as the maximum.
