LOCAL TROLLEYMAN
 READY TO STRIKE
Sympathetic Walkout Will Be Result of Action to Deprive Colleagues
 of Pay in Bridgeport.

In the event of a decision by the Bridgeport branch of the Connecticut company to dispense with the entire force or any part of the force of trolleymen in that city until restrie- tive legislation against jitney busses is put into effect, and an order by the company that the trolleymen are not 70 receive wages during the in- terim, the local members of the Trol- leymen's union are prepared for a "sympathetic strike" One of those interested in the trolley situation, an employe of the local branch, said last evening that the local men can be relied upon to walk out to man.
 The announcement of preparations for a sympathetic strike" in this city, last night, was the first move locally on the part of the trolleymen since the jitney bus controversy arose. Local employees are vitally in terested in. the outcome of the at tempt to oust the jitneys inasmuch as such action will increase the revenue of the company and may mean later salary increases.
 Since the advent of the jitney, motormen say. difficulty has been en- countered by the stoppage of the busses directly on the trolley tracks. presumably on account of the oppo- sition raised by the Connecticut com- pany to their presence

A SUGAR SUBSTITUTE
Honey Is Used By Kansas People to Overcome Shortage of Sugar-Field Unlimited.

Manhattan, Kan, July 21.-Kansas bee keepers are solving the high cost of preserving fruit this year by sub stituting honey for sugar, according to state bee inspectors who met here for two-day conference with Dr. l. H. Merrill. assistant entomoligist of the Kansas Agricultural Experi- ment station.
 While it requires slightly more honey for preserving fruits, bee keep CTS can save money by using the product of bees since the cost of manufacturing it is almost nothing, the inspectors pointed out. They said thousands of dollars worth of honey from the clover and alfalfa fields of the state goes to waste an- nually because comparatively few farmers keep bees.

Reds in South Africa, Too.

Captain Town, according to the Lon
don Telegraph's Cape Town corre-
spondent. Mr.. Malan, the acting prime
minister, announced in the house of
assembly that the government would
introduce bill dealing with bolsheyist
propaganda in South Africa. The an
nouncement. though viewed askance
by the laborists. has otherwise given
general satisfaction. 1t was stated re-
Gently on high authority that native
discomfort was never more pronounced
than now. Various revolutionary and
socialist bodies, largely composed Of
Russian and other aliens, have been
issuing bolshevist literature in the ma
tive languages. In a recent prosecu-
ton in MarItzburg a leafiet printed In
Zulu, calling upon the natives to
strike off their chains and free them
selves, was read In court. The general
feeling is that the circulation Of such
indictments Is highly dangerous. and
that alien and bolshevist agitators
should be deported.

MUSTARD GAS NOTHING NEW

How easy statement given ere |

totally wrong and yet acquire stand |
ing which\suhsequent explanation may
not affect is illustrated in connection
with an assertion concerning DR.. Hugo
Schweitzer. said to have been part of
German propaganda in the United
States. The assertion was that Doctor
Schweitzer employed. financed and
guided a Doctor Scheele, who. at Bo-
gotta. n. j.. in 1913, discovered the
deadly mustard gas, the formula for
which was Immediately transmitted to
the German government through Won
Papen when the war opened. Occupy
ing place in what is to be a semi
official brief to congress, its accuracy
would ordinarily remain unimpeached,
yet according to former federal war
chemist and professor of chemistry,
the statement is completely wrong in
its main feature.
Doctor SchweitZer may have en-
ployed, financed and guided Doctor
Scheele for some reason, but not be-
cause the younger man had just dis
covered mustard gas, for that was the
work of Victor Meyer, chemist OF
Heidelberg. In 1886, or 80 years ago,
and % years before the world war be-
gan. The gas is generally known to
chemists and has been since its discov-
cry by Meyer. Although given the
name of mustard gas during the war II
