FILES PHYSICIANS.

Kansas City, Jan. 14.--Muskogee.
Okla, and Topeka, Kan, tonight re-
ported numerous cases of the strange
intestinal malady that has caused
four deaths and the illness of several
hundred persons near Skiatook, Tul-
sa county, Okla.
The Muskoee dispatches said 500
persons were i'll there, but that there
had been no fatalities. Physicians at
Muskogee and Topeka were in con-
ference to discuss ways of checking
the epidemic.
Oklahoma City advices indicated
state officials were giving the disease
close attention. Inspectors sent 20
Skiatook today to investigate report
ed that they found the situation there
under control, but had not forwarded
any information that would assist in
identifying the disease, it was stated.
Exhaustive tests of sources of in
fection believed to be causing the ILL
ness are being made at the Oklahoma
state emergency hospital.

SAVING WILL CUT
HIGH COST
CLUB WOMAN ADVISES BUYING
NOTHING NOT NEEDED.

Mitchell, Jan. 14.-Mitchell wom-
en- can do the most effective work in
cutting down the cost of living, If
they will do their part to decrease the
consumption at present, according to
Mrs. w. s. Hill, president of the city
federation of women's clubs, in an
address given before that body.
"Boycotts or campaigns against
profiteers would have little effect in
Mitchell" said Mrs. Hill, "as we can
find practically no evidence that there
is profiteering.
Living costs have risen, however,
because consumption is so heavy and
production has been comparatively
small. 1t is the duty of the women,
then, to do their part in lowering
consumption and encouraging pro-
duction until the right balance is
reached again."
Mrs. Hill advocated economical
buying ih all lines, asking the wom-
en- to purchase only such clothing as
they needed, and also to use especial
care in buying food.
One illustration of decreased pro-
duction was given by Mrs. Hill in ax-
planning the workings of this system,
in the poultry industry. Farmers,
she said, were unable to keep their
chickens last fall because of the high
cost of grain. Consequently they sold
their fowls. eggs became scarce, and
Immediately began to rise in price.
Economical use of the supply ON
hand is the only means for the won.
en- to aid in making the small supply
meet the present needs.

REGRETS j. s. DID
NOT SIGN TREATY
COMMENT OF BRITISH PRESS ON
RATIFICATION OF PACT
HAS DOLEFUL TONE.

London, Jan. 14.-Regret that the
ratification of the treaty of Versailles
is expressed by today's newspapers.
Some editorials take on doleful
notes.
''The omission of Americas sigma
ture to the ratification document" F."
says the Telegraph, Stands for the
bitter disappointment of the hope
that glowed with promise for human
ity a year ago. 1t is true that the
league OF nations exists by the terms
of the treaty, but the world knows
that until the United States adheres
to the league not a tithe of the USE
fulness and moral authority it should
possess will belong to it,"
The Telegraph also cites the alb
sence of Russia from Saturdays cer-
emony and says:
Until the sky in that direction
grows clearer there can be no world
peace nor any hope of it,"
Doubts of the reality of peace be-
hind the final act of ratification are
expressed by the Daily News.
There is not a nation which can
not. If it wishes, manufacture new
grievances out of the settlement to
trouble the peace of the world" il
says. Occasions of offense are SO
numerous they obscure the fact of
peace"
The News notes that America
which did SO much to make peace
had no part in the final act.
The Chronicle, discussing the
league of nations. says it is much
weakened by the action of the Amer
lean senate. 1t expresses the hope
nevertheless, that allied governments
will Immediately go ahead with tie
league, but questions whether Great
Britain and Italy, without the sup.
port of America, can assume a posi-
tion to act as dictators to the rest OF
Europe, adding:
Americas concurrence would
have made great moral difference

Metal Lighter Than
 Aluminium

The hghtest metal now known that remains comparatively unaltered under ordinary atmospheric conditions is magnesium, which is only two- thirds as heavy as aluminium. Mag nesium is a beautiful silvery-white metal that has been made in the Unit ed States only since 1915 and is now made at but three plants. It is known to comparatively few people and to most of those few chiefly as silvery powder used for making flash lights in photography. It was reported from Germany for this use for many years. During the world war large quantities of powdered magnesium were made in the United States for use in star shells designed to illuminate battle fields at night, as well as in special shells designed to show in the daytime exactly where the shells containing it exploded. The white cloud by day and the brilliant white pillar of fire by nightrboth striking features of the battle fields of the world war-were produced by the combustion of magnesium.
 Magnesium in massive form, as sticks or rods, is used to deoxidize other metals in foundries and is con- stituent of alloys. More magnesium is now used as a deoXidizer or scaven- ger in metallurgy than for any other purpose, but it's employment in alloys is increasing and may eventually be-. come the largest one. An alloy of magnesium and aluminium is used in making castings for aircraft engines and parts of airplanes. The skeleton of the British airship R-34, the first dirigible to cross the Atlantic, is an alloy of aluminium and magnesium, and the yacht Resolute, the defender of the America's' cup in the races in July, 1920, as we'll as the alternative defender the Vanitie, carried gaffs made of this alloy.
 The demand for metallic mag nesium has slackened since the war, however, and in 1919 it's production in the United States amounted to 127,- 465 pounds, valued at $247 1902, a de. crease of 55 per cent in quantity and 60 per cent in value from 1918. A report on the magnesium industry in 1919, by R. w. Stone, can be obtained free on application to the Director, U. S. Geological Survey, Washington, D. C.
