Then Mr.. Bean called out:

The courtroom was stirred when q
Young woman. very pretty. and dressed
tastefully and extensively, arose from

went 10 the front of the court.
She stood looking at Furey, her eyes
flashing contempt and her nose UP
tilted.

asked.
Furey looked at her a long time and
then said she was.
Miss Ehrick, or Miss Emerson
returned to her seat, and Mr.. Bean
went ahead.
During the Cross examination some
doubt that the naturalization of the
girl had been positive arose.

questions about the plot for Grover

Furey's military history was then
the subject of questioning by Mr.. Bean.
The cross examination brought out that

SERUM A L|FE-SAvER IN
HOG CHOLERA EPIDEMIC
Prevents Well Animals From Dis
ease, and Cures so Per Cent
of Those Affected.

Hog cholera has made its appearance
this year in the vicinity of Hockessin. To
aid hog-raisers IN preventing losses, the
Legislature appropriated S25, 900 for the
purchase of hog cholera serum. The serum
is furnished free of charge to hog owners,
the only cost being in the administration
of the serum.
DIR. D.C.Palmer. department of bacteri-
oloey and veterinary science, Delaware
College. has written paper for Extension
Service News, q state publication known
20 all progressive farmers. telling how the
disease may be combatted. He says in
port
There is no longer any doubt as to
the value of hog cholera vaccination.
II hogs are properly vaccnatei before the
disease appears in a herd the disease can
b. prevented, and hogs doubly vaccinat-
ed will be protected from hog cholera for
lfc
When cholera appears on farm, the
owner should report the matter ut once
o. the proper authorities and advise the
nelghhors in order that all hogs ON sur
rounding farms may be protected
Remember that vaccination will pre-
vent the disease, but IL Is of little value in
hogs showing marked symptoms, and To
be effective the serum must be given
early. before the hogs become sick.
There is no known drug or medicine
that will cure or prevent hog cholera.
Hog serum will prevent the disease in
well hogs and save an average of fifty
per cent of hogs in affected herds Avoid

GAS MAY
DECIDE NEXT WAR
British Act to Build Dye Indus
try viii Open Way for Ger
man Imports to U. s.
AMERICA WILL BE RIVAL

Washington, Dec. 29.-By the pas =
sage Of the dyestuhs import regula
tions act, Great Britain has definitely
accepted the theory that poison gas will
be the supreme weapon Of the next war,
and at the same time has opened the way
for the entry Of German dyes into this
country. according 90 the views eI-
pressed last night by chemical experts
OF the government. ",
Tho British act, which became law
Monday. prohibits the importation Of
dyestuffs into Great Britain for ten
years, which, government experts de-
clared, will enable England to build up
n ner aye industry to a point OF CON
world. =.
Poison gas and dyestufs both come
from coal tar, Il was explained, and
from the manufacture of the CONNER
cial article to the production Of the
military weapon is but another step In
continuous process. BY insuring the
development Of the dye industry, chemi-
cal experts here SAID, Great Britain
has laid the ground work for possible
widespread use Of gas in warfare.
Direct competition In this country
between German and American made
dyes also Ia seen by officials here as
result Of the British dyestuffs act. While
the act prohibits the importation Of dye
products into the United Kingdom, the
restriction does not apply to goods i'm
ported for expectation after transit
through the United Kingdom or by way
Of transshipment.
Dyes may not be imported into this
country whom IL can be shown they
are of German origin. An influx Of
German dyes would probably mean, Off
cials frankly stated, that the develop
ment OF the American industry would Be
hindered, and consequently the United
states would fall behind the other ma
tions In wartime to produce poison gas.
