Washington, April 25.-Disarma-
ment sidetrackcd consideration of
the naval appropriation bill in the
house today, when Representative
Kelly, Republican, Michigan, brougAt
forward the committee proposals to
provide $396,00O,0 1000 for the navy's
next fiscal year, of which 100000, 900
would be used toward completion of
the 1916 Building program. The ex-
pansion program, Mr.. Kelly asserted,
would help "to lift the load now on
the shoulders of the world for arma-
ment construction and maintenance"
when these ships we are building
have been completed" he said, "the
United States will equal in sea power
any nation in the world, and will be
in a position to offer proportionatc
reduction in armament"
Theodore Burton, Republican, of
Ohio, former senator, supported the
committee spokesman in his declara-
tion for an adequate navy and also
urged that there be the nucleus of a
large army for the United States. He
declared, however, that the "time has
come for an international conference
for the sake of stopping this mad
dening competition for the construc-
tiOn of armadas"
This view was indorsed by Repre-
sentative Byrnes, Democrat, South
Carolina, who turning to taxation
features involved in military pro-
grams, said congress this year would
appropriate five and half billions,
or $50 a head for each citizen of
the United States.

Killing weeds is usually attended
by the necessity of preserving grass
or other vegetation, and consequently
involves considerable work. Some.
times, however, it is desirable to keep
an area clear of all vegetable life, as
in the case of driveways, pavements,
sidewalks, tennis courts, railroad
rights of-way, bitches, etc. In such
cases good chemical weed killer,
properly used, will perform the work
more quickly and easily and often
more cheaply.
The United States Department of
ber of chemicals for the purpose, but
t"9 expensive; but three substances
,>>:se been found generally satisfac-
tory. They are sodium arsenite, oil,
and common salt Sodium arsenitc
is the most powerful plant poison
known that is cheap and readily pre-
pared, and is the active constituent
Of practically all proprietary "wood
Killers" 1t is rather difficult to OBJ
tain ready made, and should be used
while fresh, as it oxidizes readily and
hardens when exposed to the air for
several weeks.
Preparing Sodium Arsenic
For persons having some experience
in the handling of chemicals sodium
arsenite can readily be made at home
according to one Of the following for
mulas:
Formula 1
Caustice soda sodium hydroxide)
pounds, - -- -- - -
Or high-grade concentrated lyc-
White arsenic (arsenic trioxide)N
Water, to make, gallon -- 1
The caustic soda should be- in the
granulated form and of the grade
known as 50 per cent, technical. This
quality of caustic soda is sold in
drums containing pounds or more
and can often be obtained from deal
ers in laundry supplies. For small
operations the pure caustic soda
which comes in the form of sticks is
convenient. White arsenic is a fine,
white powder which is easily obtain
able. Mix the caustic soda or lye
with the white arsenic in wooden,
earthenware, or granitewarc rccep-
tacle Add the water slowly. In
about 30 seconds the solution will be-
gin to boil violently and should be
stirred vigorously with a wooden pad
dlc. Inc neat generated is usually
sufficient to cause all the arsenic to
dissolve and the mixture to become a
gray, sirupy liquid. In case some of
the arsenic remains in suspension, how
ever, it will be necessary to heat the
solution until the arsenic disappears
After cooling thoroughly add enough
water to replace evaporation.
Formula 2

or sal soda) pounds ------ - 8

This mixture does not generate
heat upon adding water, and must be
boiled to bring the arsenic into solu-
ton. In either of the above formulas

pounds of soluble arsenic trioxide, or
approximately S 1-3 pounds of ar
senite of soda.

WAR MYSTERY" MADE CLEAR
Men on the Leviathan Now Under
stand How Their Officers Detected
Them In Smoking.

Men who sailed on the Lcviathan
when she was being used asa trans
port will learn with interest the ex-
liner In those war days, mystery
which has been the subject of many a
midnight conference in the lee Of the
deckhOuse:: Only recently former
officer of the Leviathan told the story.
1t appears that several of the crew
sought a lower hold far from the
haunts OF the officers on duty and
there, believing themselves carefully
concealed. they smoked to their hearts
content. But the ship had fire de-
lection system consisting Of a series Of
pipes to the holds, through which q
suction fan Is continually drawing air
samples to the wheelhouse. Thus the
officer on duty there noticed the curl
ing wisps of smoke coming out Of the
pipe from one of the lower holds.
Shifting the smoke he detected the old
familiar odor of tobacco.
1t was an easy matter to hurry
down and catch the men in the act
and start them on round of extra
duty, which cured them of smoking
aboard ship. They were puzzled to
know how the officer had traced them.
The hold was way down near the keel,
far from the wheelhouse and there had
not been another man within many
yards of their position. They knew
no officer had followed them and they
took it for granted that there was no
direct connection between the hold
, and the wheelhOuse. And no one en-
! lightened them during many trips to
France.-New York Evening Post.

sadly missed. We extend to the rela.

BAT AS AID TO AVIATION.
Study of Activities May Reduce Ha-
yards of Flying.
Air Service News.

Air Service News.
The uninitiated sometimes won
der, when deliberating upon the
strange works of nature, why certain
birds, animals, insects, ETC., were
created, and ask what possible bene-
tit mankind derives from them, in
stead of a benefit they are often
times just the reverse. TAKE the bat
for instance. One can hardly Justify
the existence of this flying rodent un-
less perhaps, for it's insect-eating pro-
ciivities, and yet scientists have re-
Gently found it of considerable use
IN conducting some experiments, as
result of which the hazards of
fiying may be considerably reduced.
Experiments are continually being
made with view to eliminating acci-
dents in airplane flights. Statistics
show that a considerable number of
airplane accidents were due to collis-
ions in the air. due either to care
lessness or because of the inability of
the pilot to see the other plane which
happened to be located at a blind
angle. Recently experiments made in
England with several bats furnished
some very interesting results. Know
ing that bats can avoid objects they
cannot see, the experimenters blind
told several bats and released them in
room which was crossed with many
wires and divided from another room
BY grid containing holes Just large
enough for the bat to fly through.
These nocturnal mammal never tou-
ched the wires in their flight and
were able to fly through the holes
with ease.
The experiment revealed the bats
secret. He emits a note, often in
audible to mans ears This sound
bounds back from any barrier, con-
Veylng such accurate information to
MS sensitive ears that he can map
out the space in front of him with
out any uncertainty. Aeronautical ex-
perts believe that the airplane NAV
do the same thing. Instruments are
being devised which are so sensitive
that they will record visibly before
the alrman's eyes the progressive in
crease of such sounds as the ground
OF some object that is approached. 1t
is said that information would be
supplied equally in the dark or in
mist, and since sound travels faster
than the fastest plane, the warning
would come in plenty of time to
avert crash. The fact that import
ant radio experiments are now being
conducted in devising warning signal
instruments indicates that some pro-
gress along this line is being made.

SERVED IN ORIENTAL STYLE
Magnificent Banquet Given by King
Hussein of the Hedjaz to
Lord Allenby.

A banquet given by King Hussein
OF the Hedjaz to Lord Allenby, the
British high commissioner. as de-
scribed by an Arab correspondent Of
the London Times on March 2, was a
striking example of oriental magnifi-
cence. After preliminary visits and
military reviews, In which the
Bedouin cavalry dashed by at full
speed, firing their rifles, the banquet
was held in true Axab style in the
municipality bu' ''ngs at Jeddah.
On the table, which was eighteen
feet broad by thirty feet in length,
barefooted walters dressed in rich Arab
costume walked about helping the
guests, 40 in number, to slices of the
joints Of roasted half sheep stuffed
with almonds, rice and spices. Each
guest had three or four plates, and
was surrounded by some 20 or 30
dishes of salads. fish, roasted chick
ems, pilaff of mutton and sweets of
all descriptions. The kings band of
musicians played throughout the ban
quet.
At the enc of the feast the kings
servants handed round silver basins
with ewers of scented water for the
guests to wash their hands in. Coffee
was serve'i In another room while
guests Of lower degree sat down at
tse baB4ueting table. The remnants
"f the feast, which were considerable,
were distributed among the inhabi-
tants of Jeddah and the crews Of the
British shiEs at anchor in the harboi
