Streets For Coasting

Pittsburgh. Pa. Dec. 31.-The
finance committee of the Pittsburgh
City Council took steps here to de-
crease the number of deaths in
coasting accidents. The director Of

certain streets in each police dis
trict for coasting and sliding pur-
poses. The police department was
asked to cooperate with firemen in
roping off streets and posting fire
men and policemen along the
"speedways" TO assist pedestrians and
other traffic. The requests will be
complied with imm ediately, the
safety director said.
There have been three killed and
ten persons injured in two days in

Three Women and Man
Are Believed to Be
Wood Alcohol Victims
PhfladeIphfa.

philadelphia, Dec. 81 Local au-
thorities to-day were investigating
the deaths of three women and a
man believed to have been victims cf
wood alcohol. Their bodies were
found last night in rooming house
here and the police believe they died
on Saturday, when they were last
seen. 1t was announced at the hos
pital where the bodies were taken
that death was due t. alcoholic poison
but that it would take a chemical cX-
animation of the bottle found in the
room to determine whether the vic
Tins drank wood alcohol. The au-
thorities have located another man
who was in the room Saturday, and
who, they say. took two drinks from
the bottle and was almost blinded.
The fact that one of the women
was reported to have come from New
York leads the police TO believe that
she brought the liquid which caused
their deaths from that city.
The discovery of the four bodies
increased the number of suspected
wood alcohol victims in this city and
vicinity to six.

RHEUM TIC A
PRICED RELICS OF THE MAGl
Cologne Cathedral Said to Contain the
Skulls of the Three "Wise Men
of the East"

A British army chaplain celebrated
mass recently in the great Cologne
cathedral at the altar of the relics OF
the Magi, the skulls of the three wise
men who came from the East to visit
the newly born Savior at Bethlehem.
Tradition says that the Empress
Helene procured the bones and took
them to Constantinople, whence they
were removed to Milan. In 1164 they
were presented by Frederick Barba-
rosa to Archbishop Reinald Won Das-
sci, who brought them to Cologne. AT
first they were kept in the chapel OF
the Magi, the central chapel of the
seven thanking the choir. but since the
war they have been put away in the
cathedral treasury, near the organ.
The bones are kept in a golden reii'
quarry, costly specimen of Roman
esque craftsmanship in the form of a
basilica, said to have been made about
1900 A. D. In the Cologne coat-of-arms
three crowns are represented. the
ownership of the Magi relics having
suggested the design.

EXTRA FEED FATTENs CATTLE
ccttonseed Cake a. Supplement to
Summer Pasture increases Mate
rally Rate Of Gains.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
Feeding cottonseed cake to steers as
q supplement to summer pasture in
creases materially the rate Of gains
made by the animals, causes them to
finish more quickly and take on a high
er degree of finish. and increases the
margin between the buying and selling
prices, specialists of the United States
department of agriculture say In Bull
letin TIT. just published by the depart
ment. The bulletin is G report of ex-
periments in fattening steers on sum-
mer pasture conducted comparatively
by the department and the Alabama
experiment station in 1912 and 1913.
and the Mississippi experiment station
in 1915 and 1916.
All the experiments were carried out
under actual and typical farm condi-
tions. Consequently the results may
be applied directly in many regions to
the management and feeding of cattle
on pasture. In each experiment,
SIUupS IA otccto WcIG hcpt vi pas
ture alone; on pasture with supple
mentary feed of one-half corn chop and
one-half cOttonseed cake; and on pas
ture with supplementary feed Of cot
tonseed cake. The average daily gains
for each animal, which may be consid-
cred the most valuable standard in
judging the efficiency Of rations, were
1.49 pounds for the steers getting pas
ture only; 1.83 pounds for the steers
getting cottonseed cake with pasture;
and 1853 pounds for those on pasture
supplemented by the mixture of cake
and corn chop.
The initial cost of the steers per 100
pounds of the three groups was the
same for any one year, but in each
case the steers on pasture alone sold
for a lower price. The margins be-
tween the buying and selling prices of
the cattle were always II favor of
those which were fed supplements with
their pastures. The margins aver
aged less than % cents hundred
pounds for the steers on pasture alone,
compared to 80 cents for animals
which were fed cottonseed cake with
pasture, and S11a cents for the ami
mails whose pasture was supplemented
with the mixture of cake and corn
chop. After the animals had been
