GOV. HARDING FINDS ROGERS' VIEWS ON FARM [ ERS SOUND
Agrees With Alabama Man That Destiny of Cotton Farmer Rests Entirely In
 His Own Hands
Fly HUGH w. ROBERTS Washington Bureau Tho Ase- Herald
 500 Davidson Buildina

Washington, January 7.-(Special)- With the conclusions of John A. Rogers of Sumter county, practical planter, which conclusions were ex- of The Birmingham Age Herald, W. P. G. Harding, governor of the federal reserve board, whose policies have clashed with what farmers regard as their interests, finds himself in com plete accord.
 The gist of Mir. Rogers communica- ton was statement that farmers of the south, cotton farmers, hold their destiny in their own hands, that it is simply matter of desire on their parts as to whether they shall continue poor, or name their own price for their cotton. MT. Rogers, after offering to sign bond guaranteeing that he will raise no more than 50 bales of cotton this year, whereas formerly he raised 1,00a declared it necessary that the markets require, actually need; and if that policy is pursued, the farmer could get s1 per pound for his crop, and ob- tain independence.
 Mir. Rogers argument was based on the necessity of the farmer of the south helping himself rather than depending on is fellow man or the government to help him.
 Governor Harding did not discuss in detail the various contentious of Mr. Rogers. He said simply: T agree with all that he says"

have always maintained that the rec ords were confidential, and would never be made public. The men of the country were forced to unbosom them selves regarding delicate matters, and they were assured that what they said Culd not be given to the public.
 The court held that the records were not confidential, or at least that when needed in course of legal controversy, they were accessible to the public. Ger tain of these records were demanded by attorneys in recent suit in Wash il gton, and General Harris was ord to produce them. He refused. He was judged in contempt and sentenced to jail, which sentence was held in abey ance pending an appeal.
 If one record is made public all oth- CTS will be liable to be made public. Judging from the appeals which are coming to Washington, many men are concerned lest their revelations regard ing domestic matters, questions of dis ease and general health, and financial and salary statements be made known generally.
 The administration stands behind General Harris ana the Georgian in all probability, will go to jail rather than betray what he regards as a confiden- tial matter, matter of honor, between the government and the people of the United States.
 It is the opinion of many lawyers in Washington, however, that the supreme court will not sustain the lower court According to this view, legal techDi- calities will be swept aside in the con sideration of the agreement made by the government when it required it's young men to unbosom themselves.

ENGLAND AND JAPAN
 BUSY ON CHEMICALS

Washington, January 7.-(Special.)- While peace among the greater nations seems to be more or less well estab- Iished, the single discordant note con- cerning naval construction and dis armament, it develops that there is the greatest jealousy between possible future belligerents regarding experi- mentation in poisonous gases.
 It has become known that Great Brit ain has transformed Mesopotamia, over which it has mandate under the League of Nations, into an immense chemical laboratory, and is there devel- oping gases more destructive than was thought possible even during the World war. When tbe United States acquired this inform ation, there was an inclina- tion on the part of statesmen to criti- cize Great Britain for preparing for war while preaching eternal peace as a member of the League oi Nations. This criticism became intensified when it developed that Japan was keeping pace with England, and that France was not far behind.
 The apparently plausible explanation offered by Great Britain and Japan was based on the determination of those countries to be no longer depen- dent on German dyes. Great Britain has placed an embargo for 10 years on dyes, and in their development has dis played remarkable progress. It is no secret that German.'s former ascen- dency in death dealing gases resulted from Germany's superiority in dye
 manufacturing. And thus England and
 Japan, becoming efficient in dye pro-
 auction become efficient at the same
 time in developing all the possibilities
 in gas for warfare
 At the same time the United States.
 while expressing polite wonder as to
 the energy of England and Japan. is making astounding progress itself
 While the war department does not
 issue bulletins as to it's new discov- cries in the possibilities of chemical
 warfare. it is no secret that the domes-
 tic dye industry has not only become
 established, but is productive, even at
 this stage, of more than the require ments of the nation. In other words
 the production in the United States to- day IS greater than the pre-war impor-
 tat1on, and enough surplus remains to
 warrant exportation to China
 In course of the development of the
 dye industry the United States has
 acquired profound knowledge regard
 ing gas, and it is hinted that in the
 event Of another war, the United States
 would not be inferior to any other ma :
 ~. o"o StiCHS LII. It IS whispered
 that the promise is so roseate that
 there are dreams now of destroying entire cities when next the powerful natlons of the world test their power
 It IS announced, in this connection.
 mat January 10 will note the begin nlng Of the second "school'' for officers ot the chemical warfare service To
 these schools" 15 officers are sent each year-and the officers are among
 the most skillful chemists in the United States.

MOTORISTS USE ETHER.
Find 1t Helpful In Starting Cars In
Cold Weather.

Ether is now being used by many
motorists here to overcome the diff
culties in starting their cars in cold
weather. The grade Of gasoline now
being sold has high boiling point and
is rather difficult TO vaporize IN cold
weather. Recently numbers OF du Pont
men here have used the ether manu-
featured by the company IN their motors
during the cold weather and have found
that il does away with all starting diff
ficulties. Experts say that It 10 very
easy TO eliminate these difficulties IL
one pound of ether is added to each
ave gallons of gasoline.
Ether boils at 95.7 degrees r, and
consequently. is easy to yaporfzs even
in extremely cold weather. It also
gives resiliency to the engine which
is lacking when gasoline alone is used
in winter weather.
Ether is invariably used 10 start
marine gasoline engines in the winter
time and then it is simply poured in
to the pet cocks and the engine turned
over In the older models Of automo-
bies it is also used through the prim-
ing cocks.
