One WAY TO TELL WHEN
OLIVES ARE POISONOUS
(By United IresSl .

Philadelphia, Aug. 10.---When
opening bottle of olives. if they give
eff rancid, offenave odor, they
should be thrown away, because they
are poison, according to DR.. Randall
C. tRosenberger, professor of hygiene
and bacteriology at jefferson college
DR.. Rosenberg has been carrying
on experiments to find out h"~ #" do
tect poisonous olives. Good olives
have a pleasantly aromatic odor, he
said. The poisonous olives smell a
little stronger than roquefort cheese
and the liquor Is clouded.
The poison is known as bacillus
+ botulinus. 1t is found mere frtt
quently i'm ripe olives than in green
ones, probably because the ripe vari-
ETY. are really over-ripe and possibly
in an early state Of decay, Rosenberg
er said.

GOOD ROADS SAVE MUCH GAS
Trucks Use Twice as Much Fuel on
Dirt .Highfays as on Ono
.-~ Built of Concrete.

That good roads cut the cost Of
gasoline more than so per cent is
stated by Freight Transportation Di-
gest." A loaded two-ton truck was
used in a test and in running 100
miles on an earth road consumed 1913
gallons Of gasoline, making an aver
age Of 5.7S miles a gallon. The cost
figured at % cents gallon was 81 81.
The same truck was used on a con-
crete road and Travelled the same dis
lance on $40 gallons of gasoline, max
ing 11.7S miles per gallon. The cost
in this case, figured on the same
basis, was $2.12. The net savings in
cost of gasoline on the improved high
way was, therefore $2.21, or more than
100 per cent.
Statisticians could step in here and
conjure a colossal sum to represent
the savings in gasoline cost if all the
highways Of the United States were
paved, remarks the Columbus CO.,
Dispatch. They could. for instance,
assume that all of the One-half million
mOtOrtrucks in the country were two
ton trucks, and on this basis figure
out saving in gasoline costs equal to
a couple Of Liberty loan issues.
This enormous reduction in gasoline
costs, coupled with the ability to
handle loads with less fractional eff
fort, has become one Of the strongest
arguments for good roads. The two
tests cited in this Instance show con-
clusively that poor roads are expen-
sive to the farmer and merchant alike.
The farmer who hauls with a motor
truck is getting only one-eighth Of the
profit he could get and the merchant
and inter-city freight truck operator
are paying out twice what they should
for gasoline and are getting only one
eighth of the profit they could get.

If it takes q farmer, making a trip

how many hours are lost in a year If
1000 farmers make an average Of II

the principal that a chain is no

Commissioner Babcock with John

about 40 per cent under 1920 costs,
and Is per cent lower on paving in

Although people who drive auto

persist in doing what they are not
supposed to. For instance, of late
there has been too many people try
ing to go into the front door Of busi-

their cars. If they still persist in do
ing that, the merchants should insist
that they use the back door where
the glass is less expensive. And then

Hatfield must have a good line and

This vicinity doesn't need a hu-

little better off if it possessed some
one with power to spread the rain
