u. S. FINDS SECRET
OF GERMAN ALLOY

Philadelphia. April 8.-Scientists in a
Pittsburgh steel mill have discovered the
secret of the construction of frameworks
Of German Zeppelins, it is announced at
the Philadelphia navy yard.
The discovery is expected to make
possible the speeding up of work upon
the giant dirigible, which has been I'm
der construction at the local navy ward
for the greater part of a year.
Hitherto, it is said at the navy ward
nothing has been known of the cornpo.

framework Of Zeppelins. save that ii
was lighter than steel and Of a great
tensile strength. Careful experiments
both in the United States and England
has been made ever since the first Zep-
pelin was shot down and its framework
analysed. 1t was determined that the
strength of the metal lay in its treat
ment by heat, and scores of attempts
were made to determine the proper tenn
perature.
The scientists, however, have discov.
cred something else, essentially Amer
lean, which will go into the new ALLOW
The secret is being guarded closely, but
navy men say they believe it will have
great commercial possibilities

building here this summer, and if DOS

PRESS OF FUTURE
WILL BE- DIVORCED
OF big BUSINESS
Advertisers Today Control News
and Editorial Policy but New
New Deal Is Coming.

Comparatively owned and democratic
cally directed newspapers must be es-
tabllShed to insure progress and econ
on1ic advancement on the part of the
people. This was the keynote of an adj
dress on The Future of the American
Press" delivered in Boston recently by
Walter w. Liggett, deputy immigration
commissioner of the State of North
Dakota.
He predicted that the dailies of the
future would be actually newspapers
and not merely advertising mediums and
asserted it will be necessary to have thenl
supported by the subscription price alone
in order to 'end the shameful and de-
Ding advertising censorship that has
perverted the purpose Of the modern
newspaper and made it a power for evil
instead of for good" He said he had
reason for believing that an "intelligently
planned and power fully supported organ
ization would, in the near future, under
take the task of promoting such CO.
operatively owned dailies in all the larger
cities of the United States.
After declaring that the standards of
American Journalism had declined, Lig-
gett explained this was mot due to the
innate personal depravity of modern
publishers as individuals, but to the evo-
lutionary changes in the mechanism of
the newspaper itself" He said that in
the old days of the ''old school, editors
1t paid to be independent and to possess
personality, because then a paper was
supported principally by its readers
| while today, due entirely to the develop
| ment of the publishing business, a news
| paper is supported by its advertisers and
| no paper can survive or much less make
a profit unless it strongly defers to the
wishes of its advertisers"
He declared that this advertising con-
troll had been extended by corporate in
| f1uence until a virtual censorship had
| been established, and Roger Babson, the
| Boston economist, was quoted to sustain
| his contention that our newspapers now
are essentially class propaganda organs.
The underlying cause for the utter
prostitution of the American press is its
will not be freed until advertisers no
| istence,' said Liggett, land the press
will not be freed unit advertisers no
| longer possess the arbitrary power of
decreeing a papers ruin if its policies
fail to please them. The real remedy is
the establishment of daily papers owned
! comparatively and de1nocratically direct
| ed by large numbers of citizens from the
most representative groups Of each COM
munity. These papers would be free to
| serve the community as quasi-publiC
utilities instead of selhshly advancing the
! interests of a privileged class"

CHINESE ARE MADE DRUG
ADDICTS BY GENERALS

DR.. c. G: Trirnble, physician in charge
of the Yenping Mission Hospital at
Fukien, China, maintained by the Board
of Missions of the Methodist Episcopal
church, says that Chinese soldiers often
carry hyperder1nic needles and drugs in
their kits and give injections to their I'M
addicted comrades when the latter are
fatigued by the march. He said the
number of addicts had been raised by
tens of thousands by the use of narcotics
by these men for every slightest illness.
One day a detachment of soldiers became
angry when they went to the hospital and
Dr. Trimble refused to let them buy
morphine Their spokesman displayed
several hyperdermic needles bearing Jap
anese trade marks and said these and the
drug could be bought at almost any shop
in North China.
Promotion of the opium industry has
become a regular means of getting
money by the various generals in both
the northern and southern armies, DR..
Trimble said. The necessity of getting
their own maintenance out of the COun-
try has led them to issue sweeping orders
to all villagers of the occupied area to
! plant peoples or suffer exorbitant fines
Fields formerly planted in rice are be-
ing converted for poppy raising each
year in large numbers. The seeds are
bought from the army officials, who
have monopoly. Other agents purport-
ing to represent the government come
through the country levying heavy fines
upon the farmers for planting peoples in
violation of the Chinese national anti
opium laws. The army agents later buy
the crop at their own price and sell it
elsewhere or distribute it among their
troops as pay.

FAVORABLE SPRING
OUTLOOK FOR CROP
In new ENGLAND

BtL,n April 8.-Farmers in New
England on the whole view the spring
outlook as more promising than has been
true in the last two years, in the opinion
of V. A. Sanders of Wakefield, district
field agent of the bureau of crop eStl-
mates of the federal department of agri-
culture
While they have experienced heavy
reductions in prices of many of their
products, potatoes, onions, hay and other
things, and expect these lower prices to
continue, they take courage from the
fact that there has been a drop in the
price of grain and seeds, and that labor
il most cases is plentiful at wages aver
aging one-third less than was paid last
year. Prices of farm tools and nachin-
cry, however, show little change.
The open winter, favorable for outdoor
work and livestock, and the unusual early
opening of favorable spring weather are
important conditions giving hope and
tone to the farmer, according to many
reports Mr.. Sanders has received. For
the dairy farmer the open winter and
other factors have had the effect of Gre
ating a surplus in the milk supply, but
prices of dairy products generally have
held up well.
Peach prospects have been considered
excellent, although some uncertainty was
felt at the time the reports were sent as
to the effect of the recent cold snap on
the budding trees.
The acreage of tobacco as we'll as
of Connecticut valley onions is expected
to decrease somewhat perhaps 5 to 8
per cent, according to reports. The
hay acreage is considered likely to gain
slightly, Notwithstanding that the open
winter and hard frosts lately have been
bad for meadows and pastures

MACHINISTS ADOPT
INSURANCE PLAN
Will Protect Every Member of
Association, Regardless of
Sex or Age.

Washington, April S.-The group in
Surance plan submitted to the referendum
by officers of the International ASsocia-
ton of Machinists, will be overwhel1n-
lngly Endorsed, according to reports by
these officials. Because of the interest
shown by the workers, the usual 80 days
to hold referendum has been extended
an additional month, and the ballot was
closed the last day of March.
The plan provides to insure every
member of the association-1nale and
female-regardless of age or physical
condition and without medical or physi-
cal examination whatsoever. Insurance
will be in the sum of $500 on each mem
Der, payable Immediately at death, or in
the event of permanent total disability
at a cost of SO cents per month. or Sc
a year, to each member so insured. The
amount of insurance can be increased in
multiples of $3.50 each year until a
maximum of $1,000 is reached, at an in
creased cost of rs cents per month per
member of each $3.50 increase of life
insurance.
The plan does not conflict with the
unions present DEATH benefits.
1T is gratifying to know" says the
Machinists' Monthly Journal, that our
association is the first to take active steps
to furnish group life insurance to its
members. 1t should be understood that
the proposed plan is not the ultimate
goal but, as stated by our general execu-
tive board in official circular No. 70, 1t
can well be made the stepping stone to a
realization of what members desired
when they voted with such unanimity in
favor of inaugurating some plan of life
insurance coverage for our member
ship"
The machinists submitted their plan
after consulting practical life insurance
men, who showed them the terrific over
head charges connected with old-line

Arthurs' adherence of Gardeners per

of sympathy for a suffering fellow be-

the men of the party filed down the
stairs and out into the yard. John
Harris was the last to leave the
house, and he walked slowly, with
bare, bowed head, into the group who
were excitedly discussing the amazing
utnr events had taken. He took no
part in their conversation, but stood
little apart, plunged deep in his own
inward struggle.
At last he turned and called his
wife in the kitchen door. "Bring Beu-
lah," he said.
The two women joined him. At
first Harris stood with face averted,
but in a moment he spoke in a clear,
quiet voice.
II haven't played the game fair with

so now. Perhaps it would be truer
to say that I played the wrong game.
