FIND Frosted and Decayed
Potatoes May Be Utilized
in Manufacture of Starch

Frosted and decayed potatoes have
been found in trials conducted by
the United States department of ag-
riculture to be entirely capable of
producing acceptable and frequently
normal yields of clean, white starch
of good quality. Much of this ma
terial appears to possess a potential
value for the production of sizing
starch approximating that of the stock
at present used for this purpose. The
mechanical difficulties in recover
ing from decayed pulp are some
times less than from normal stock.
Modified procedure adapted to these
abnormal pulps doubtless could be
devised, department specialists say,
but there seems to be no reason why
the present method might not be ap-
piled profitably in the meantime In
the production of sizing starch in large
factories at the large shipping CEN
tiers installed to utilize the great guam
titles Of frozen and decayed potatoes
arriving during the fall and winter.
This would turn to profitable account
large supplies at present without
value, but which are serious burden
of expense since to their cost of pro-
duction must be added transportation
and dumping charges.

SEX IN WORDS.

The United States government has
solemnly decided that an aviator is an
aviator, regardless of sex. This deci-
sion is in line with modern usage,
which is finally the controlling influ-
ence In writing and speaking. Gener-
ally for years the tendency has been
to drop the distinguishing suffix from
words that may rightly be employed TO
designate either sex, and thus the
language, both written and spoken. is
being freed from awkward efforts, the
origin of which lay deep In mans gal
lantry, but which have lost most, If not
all, of their significance under modern
customs. Woman herself has aided In
this. Her entrance into all avenues of
human activity or occupation has given
her at least right to share In the full
meaning of the word that denotes her
position, and not to be set off In sep
arate class by the addition of "trix"
or an "ess," intended to show that 1t
Is the female of the species" who Is
present, says Omaha Bee. In the case
of the aviator, when arrayed for duty
II is impossible for the casual observer
to distinguish between man and wom-
an. The same condition holds good
in many other ways, and the change in
the words is but tribute to woman's
increasing sphere. With the vanishing
of sex from the language. we may re-
new the quest for the impersonal pro-
noun.

VIII the shipbuilding industry van
ish from America with the closing of
the war? The future of this great new
industry must be pondered most care
fully. The reconstruction commission
which is now assured by the action of
the Republicans and Democrats of
congress will have a most puzzling
problem In this. 1t all depends on the
cost of ship construction, writes Thorn
as F. Logan in Leslie's. The British
are today building ships more cheaply
per ton than we are. Back on peace
basis, they undoubtedly will decrease
these costs. If America fails TO do so,
her industry will survive on a large
scale only so long as the after-the-war
emergency shipping is being met.
Then American and foreign companies
will inevitably seek the cheaper yards
-ef The world to place their contracts.

1t is well known that wood is poor
conductor of electricity. Whilst trees
TO some extent attract the electrical
fluid it does not penetrate the body of
the tree itself; rather does the force of
the current pass down the exterior.
Whether, therefore, tree be wet or
dry, to stand near its trunk or under
Its branches Is almost like putting
oneself In the way of an electrical dis
charge. Many deaths have occurred
owing to the ignorance or carelessness
Of persons scuttling under the trees
for shelter. If relative safety may be
instanced in degrees such persons are
far safer In the open than beneath the
foliage which keeps them dry, per-
haps, yet exposes them to far more
serious risk than getting soaked. 1t
is far better to be wet than dead.

Thomas Jefferson Rodman
Said to Have Been Father
of Big Gun Used in Europe

Thomas Jefferson Rodman, the
American inventor and ordnance ex-
pert, who initiated the movement for
big guns which eliminated in the giant
cannon used in Europe, was born 1O3
years ago in Salem, Ind, and after
graduating from West Point, entered
the ordnance department of the army.
He early devoted himself to expert
ments with guns and gunpowder. Rod
mans greatest triumph, notes a writer
in the Sacramento Union, was the in
vention of a method of casting guns
hollow and cooling them from the in
side, which worked a revolution in the
making of artillery.
The long and earnest study devoted
TO the properties and manipulation of
cast iron, then regarded as the best
material for heavy ordnance, by Rod
man and other officers, enabled the
United States to produce guns then
admittedly the best In the world. In
1860 cannon weighing 35 tons, the
largest In the world, was cast, but the
exigencies of the Civil war required
heavier and better artillery. In 1863
a 20-inch smooth bore, weighing near
ly SO tons and throwing a solid shot
of 1,080 pounds, was cast. This great
gun attracted international attention,
and many years passed before 1t was
surpassed in size and effectiveness.
Rodman also introduced the use of
mammoth" powder for the 15-inch
smooth-bore guns of his invention. Dur
ing the Civil war his guns were used
in both navy and army, and were of
great assistance in deciding the out
come of the struggle. During the war
period Rodman had command of the
Watertown arsenal.

BELGIUM'S CASE LAID
BEFORE PEACE CONFERENCE

Paris, April 4.-(By the A. P)-
Beigium's case has been laid before the
peace conference by the most disting
uished advocate Belgium could have
chosen. King Albert has been in Paris
for the past three days, and in num-
erous conferences with the represent
atives of the great powers he has out
lined to them the needs Of his country
and told them of the steps that must
be taken Immediately if Belgium is to
be restored.
King Albert has had long conversa-
tions with President Wilson, Colonel
Edward A. Bouse. Premiers Clemen-
ceau and David Lloyd George. These
conversations led up TO his appearance
before the council Of four today.
A member of the Belgian peace del
egation told the Associated Press to-
day that, shorn of all its diplomatic
niceties what King Albert told the
council might be summarized thus:
The time of promises has passed
IF Belgium is to live the council must
act.
The Associated Press is able to state
that three questions OF vital immediate
importance TO the re-establishment OF
Belgium, financially, economically and
politically. were discussed. The first
question was the immediate advance
TO Belgium of about ten billion francs
/ the second the eXDortatiOn to Belgium
