the state department that no informa-

Of the armistice terms, or even OF the

The state department authorized

Eastern manufacturers will have TO
turn to Kansas City and the middle
West for their supply of sulphuric
acid during the war. Prof. Erasmus
Haworth, dean of the Mining school,
has made a survey of reports of pro-
ducers In various portions of the coun-
try, and finds that the West will soon
be depended upon entirely for the sup
ply of sulphur and sulphuric acid.
The main supply of this acid will
come from the zinc district around
Baxter Springs, Kan, and Miami,
Okla, and in part around the Joplin
(Mo.) zinc district. The Joplin dis
trict was always known as one of the
largest zinc fields In America, but the
discovery of the field around Baxter
Springs, the extent of which is I'M
known, makes 1t the largest In the
world. With this field being properly
developed the output of zinc will be
enormous, and as this zinc Is smelted
the sulphur can be collected from the
gases, making a supply of sulphur for
sulphuric acid that will more than
meet the demands In the United States
during the war.
No New Process Necessary.
At the present time only about 10
per cent of the sulphur is saved at
these smelters. To save the entire
supply no new process or invention Is
necessary, as the process has been in
use in some places for 35 years. The
United Zinc and Chemical company
of Kansas is already one of the larg-
est sulphuric acid producers in the
Missouri valley. This company uses
the ores in the Joplin district. With
the eastern concerns closed on account
of the high cost Of transporting min
erals to the East, the western firms
will enlarge their smelters and amply
supply the entire United States, Pro-
fessor Haworth points out.
The question of adequate sulphuric
acid supply came before the chemists
of the country at the recent conven-
ton of the American Institute of Min
ing Engineers in st. Louis. The east
ern companies reported that the United
States was threatened with short
age of sulphuric acid, since the sup
ply of pyrite. which had been import
ed, was cut off. Biologists in the West
and South are now asking the eastern
chemists and manufacturing compa-
MES to turn to the West for the sup
ply. Sulphur is being mined In Louisi
ana and Texas in vast quantities now
as fast as the market will consume 1t.
in Texas, sulphur is In high piles

Mrs. Allen Weir. who lives west Of

Her hair was hanging loose and she
had a scarf about her neck, when the
scarf and hair were caught in the

He obtained a pair of scissors and re-
leased her by cutting off her hair and

SPAIN KEEPS ITS OLIVE OIL
Recent Royal Decree Forbids Export
of This Product

A recent royal decree forbids exports
from Spain of olive oil, of which large
quantities formerly were shipped both
directly and via France and Italy to
the United States and other foreign
markets from Barcelona and Seville.
In southern Spain and In Catalonia the
olive oil industry has been an impOr-
tant source of revenue to the growers,
who exported TO foreign refineries,
whence the oil was often shipped TO
the United States as of really nom
Spanish production. Recently the d.
rect exports from Spain TO the United
States have increased considerably.
