INvENTs PHONoGRAPH NEEDLE
Perry Man Finds Clay Shale That
ReprOduces Records.

Ames, IA photograph needle
made of clay, which in trial has
played 100 records, has been invent
ed by H. R. Straight, secretary and
general manager of the Adel Brick
and Tile Company. Patterns and
molds to be used in the manufacture
of the needles are being made by O..
j. Whittemore, head of the ceramics
department of Iowa State College.
The discovery was purely acciden-
tai. Mr.. Straight happened to find
a piece of red shale clay in his pock-
ct while at home one day. He placed
bit of this shale in the end of the
reproducer and the record was re-
produced as clearly, he asserts, as
if he had used the diamond point or
steel needle.
The needles can be made of any
clay that will make good brick or
tile, according to Professor White

FARM ALCOHOL FOR AUTOS.
Main Thing to Invent Extraction
Processes to Produce it Cheaply


The supply and demand of gaso-
line has reached a point where the
experts must look about for other
fuels for automobiles. Gasoline is
rapidly becoming luxury, with lux
ury price. And kerosene, the COM
mon coal oil of our youth, offers no
easy road out of the dilemma. Kero-
sene has doubled in price since the
war, and if any considerable number
of auto engines were made to burn
this product, it would soon soar to
prices higher even than gasoline.
Some of the experts are talking
about fuel oil, the refined residue
after the gasoline has been removed
But here again We are up against it;
all products of petroleum are going
higher and higher. We see, that in
the steadily increasing price of
crude oil today.
The far sighted, however, are
strongly considering alcohol. That is
fuel, the supply of which can be
made ineXhaustible forever-anyhow
as long as the sun shines and the
rain falls and the soil continues fer
tile. The main thing is to invent ex-
traction processes that will produce
it cheaply. Then all the scrap of the
farm, as well as cultivated vegeta-
ton, can be thrown into the vat and
made to give up it's alcohol.
The automobile, the tractor and
the truck are as important to the
rural districts as is the motor to the
city. In some of our farming states,
they are of much higher importance.
1t will be great day when the
farmer can raise" his own alcohol
for 10 to Is cents per gallon and
have motor vehicles, the engines of
which-carburetors and cylinders
are built especially for the use Of al
cohol as fuel.

WANTS II. S. NAVY
SECOND TO NONE
Secretary Daniels Appeals to
Senate Committee.

WASHINGTON, April 6.-Advocating a
navy second to none In the world and
asking that appropriation be provided TO
make such force possible, Secretary
Of the Navy Daniels appeared today be-
fore the senate naval affairs committee,
considering the annual naval approprla-
tion bill In executive session.
The program submitted by the secre-
tary includes the completion Of the three
year program authorized in 1916 and par
TALLY postponed because Of the war: the
construction of additional ships to make
the United States fleet balanced In every
respect and authorization Of additional
vessels Of grades TO make the navy Of
the United States second to none"
One point emphasized by the secre-
tary was the need of additional pro-
visions for the navy on the Pacific
He said that for the first time in its
history the United States is maintaining
fleet on the Pacific and Is not pre-
pared to care for those ships In home
ports"
The navy yard facilities Of the coast,
he declared, are 'fnadequate."
The house in passing the naval ap-
preparation bill provided for the com
pletion of the formerly authorized pro-
gram and some additional departments
but did not do all the secretary desired.
In an effort to have his full program
authorized the secretary addressed his
appeal to the senate committee.
The creation Of the league Of nations
and the possible part the United States
will have in it; the result Of the pro-
posed or alleged agreement the British
government desires to make relative to
naval armament and the future man
power for the navy were questions taken
up by the secretary.

ard f. Edwards Of Peru outline the pro-
gram Of the League OF Women Voters,

regardless OF partisan lines when vital
subjects Of legislation make this advis-
able
Miss Helen Benbridge of Terre Haute

reviewed the WORK OF the organization IN
its long fight for suffrage
kilograms from national officers OF

nent suffragists were read.
Carrie Chapman Gait, president Of the
league, sent this message:
Ratification is as Inevitable as the

DIFFICULTY IN SUCCESS.
Our most serious difficulty now faces
us-success," said Miss Benbridge.
Men leagues say our work is finished,
but our work IL not over.
"Our very fhlure may come in our
success.
IF the women do not turn out to the
polls we are a failure as citizens and the
leagues must get together and show the
stay-a -at-home woman why she must 90
and then see that she is there to cast her
ballot,
Everything depends on the size of the
woman vote at this first trial more even
than the wisdom with which she uses it."

LONDON SAYS
u. S. PROTESTS

LONDON, April ct was reported
in authoritative quarters that Washing
ton has protested against the French
occupation of towns in the German
neutral zone.
The protest was said to have been
made in 'clear terms"
1t is regarded as significant that the
Daily Express, which is close to 4. Bonar
Law, stated today that France would not,
move her troops from the Rhine without
allied approval.
From reliable source it is learned
that the advance ordered by Marshal
Foch took the cabinet by surprise and
may result in a tense diplomatic situa-
tion.
Numerous reports were current.
One of them was to the effect that
Great Britain had reversed her former
opposition to the French advance, hav-

A few months ago It was freely pre-

The saxophone provides the only new
element In modern jazz music
The screaming reed instruments, the
weird violin effect and the farlng from
bone flights Of the jazz are old, very old
The same effects were produced with
different instruments by the orchestras
of Congo Square, New Orleans, for the
slave dances more than a hundred years
old.
Voodoo worship was common in those
days, and it was customary for dancers
to work themselves into ecstatic fren-
zies, induced partly by the syncopated
strains of tn eweird and barbarous music
from which jazz was evolved.
Such students of Creole history as
George w. Cable and Lafcadio Hearn
