New Plastic Material

A new plastic material that can be
put to many uses in the arts is made
by melting glue or gelatin on a water
bath at temperature slightly below
the boiling point of water. When the
glue is liquid a decoction of hop flow
ers in dilute oxalic acid is added. and
the impurities are allowed to settle
The liquid is then poured into carefully
leveled shallow molds, and allowed to
dry in the air, forming thin plates. 1t
can be dyed any color desired, after
which 1t is treated in bath consisting
of a mixture of formaldehyde, alcohol,
fannie acid, glycerine and water. This
hardens the glue, renders it insoluble
in water, yet leaves 1t quite plastic.

PIGS AS MACHINE GUNNERs
shrewd Trick Played by Germans
When They Fled Before the Con-
quering American Troops.

The crafty Germans resorted to all
sorts of tricks to check the advance OF
the Yankees in the fighting just before
the arnistice was signed, according to
letter from Sergt. Sidney S. Foy, for
merly of Detroit, Mich, now attached
to headquarters company in classi-
fication camp in France, to friend in
the Michigan city.
Foy writes that pigs were numerous
during the advance and that the Ger
mans used them to help in putting
Yankees out of action. When the
Huns were forced to retreat they
would tie pig by the leg to the trig-
ger of machine gun. When the Yanks
would charge, the pig, becoming fright
ened, would sQueal and tug to free it.
self. Every tug the pig made shot
was fired at the waves Of oncoming
American troops. and, Of course, some
Of them were hit.
This was only one Of the ruses
adopted by the Germans, says Foy,
and the Yankees had to use the ut
most caution in going over the ground
evacuated by the Germans.

1t is gratifying to know that South
Dakota has finished the job" and
done it in record time. According to
the unofficial report Of ]. c. Bassett.
chairman Of the Victory Loan. the
state went over the top last Saturday
night, with some millions to spare.
According to the statement of Mr.
Bassett, South Dakota is the first
state in the ninth district to complete
its quota, and the second state in the
Union, being beaten only by the state
of Iowa. There was a report that
North Dakota had gone over the top,
but this is denied by Mr.. Rogers. the
state chairman, who says that last
Saturday night she was over four mill
lions short. This is the fifth loan
that South Dakota has oversubscribed,
and, the last one seems to have been
done the easiest Of any Of them.

Packers sy.Products.

into two classes-the edible and the

which have developed into enormous
industries in themselves, such as
leather, soap, glue and fertilizer. The
last mentioned represents the ultimate
utilization Of packing house waste.
For example, in the manufacture Of
buttons, combs, knife handles and

cattle and sheep and the hoofs Of hogs

Of every decent American. Fortu-
natey, through the refusal Of the law
abiding elements of Russia to make
any compromise with bolshevism. the
council was not held. Had this coun-
Gil heen held it would have given q
recognition to the bolshevik forces
that would have enabled them to still
further prolong their anarchistic pow
ers. Americans will rejoice in the
overthrow of anarchy in Russia. even
though our citizens may look with
shame upon our own record as ma
tion in giving it encouragement.

AS result of the plot to send in
fernal machines through the mails
addressed to prominent citizens who
have incurred the displeasure of alien
anarchists, and cause simultaneous
explosion on May 1st, the sentiment
in favor Of a universal deportation of
alien bolshevjsts and /. w. WIS is
rapidly growing. The sentiment in
favor of more stringent immigration
and naturalization laws has grown
since the opening of the war when it
was discovered that many who had
become American citizens legally,
were still aliens in their sympathies.
The naturalization courts are now
quite generally refusing final papers
to thope who had declared their inten-
tions but took advantage of their
rights as aliens to escape military
service. Col. Roosevelt, in his last
public utterance expressed his views
on this subject as follows: "We have
room for but one language here, and
that is the English language, for we
intend to see that the crucible turns
our people out as Americans, of A.
merican nationality. and not as DWELL
ers in polyglot boarding house; and
we have room for but one soul loyalty
and that is loyalty to the American
people -

The reports coming from Ruseia
give much encouragement to the hope
thst bolshevism will soon be over
thrown. The ANARCHISTS are being
surrounded and beaten or. ali sides,
! and it is relortsd .tha.s, beth Lenine
and Trotzky are appealing to foreign
countries, thus far without success,
to furnish them a refuge. The best
feature of this prospective victory is
that it is coming through the efforts
o: the decent element of Russia her
self, and such victory will be much
more permanent than one acquired
through outside Intervention. The
unfortunate feature is that in this
victory the United States can claim
no credit. In fact our influence has
tended to encourage bolehevism, if we
were not in measure responsible for
it's rise. At the time Of the over
throw Of the Russian monarchy Trotz-
ky was in this country, and was or
ganizing anarchistic societies in the
foreign quarters of New York City.
Dr.. Dwight NJ. Hills says: ''We
shall give account in body as a ma
tion, for the results of Trotzky going
to Russia. Alta farewell meeting
arranged by Germans and Russian
anarchists and l. w. w. men and
women held in German hall in the
Bronx, March 26, 1917, Trtokzy
gave his hearers this charge: I want
you people here to organize and keep
organizing in this country, in order
that you may be able to overthrow
this dirty. rotten government of the
United States. l am going back to
Russia to overthrow the government
there and stop this war with Germa-
n.y. - The report of this speech
was sent to Washington and charge
of treason was made against Trotzky.
Protests were made to this govern
ment by both Great Britain and
France against the issue Of passports
to sTrotzky, but nevertheless, through
the intercession of Lincoln Steffens,
the American Bolshevist, passports
were granted from Washington to
Trotzky and thirty of his followers,
in spite Of the fact that it WAS known
that his expressed intent was to over
throw q friendly government. His
success is we'll known together with
its consequences. Karensky's govern
ment was on-erthrown. the shameful
Brest-Litovsk treaty was made with
Germany by which millions of German
soldiers from the eastern front were
released and enabled to join the Ger.
man forces on the west front where
they had to be defeated by our own
bows. But this is not all. When the
bolshevists were triumphing in Russia
they appealed to the allies for recog.
milton, and a council was arranged te
be held by delegates feom the allied
governments, and from the various
factions Of Russia. Two of the dele.
