What makes locomotive engineers and firemen get gray-haired before their time? Why, chance-ta taking motorists, of course.

LONGITUDES LOCATED
BY RADIO SIGNALS

The 10th degree of longitude east
from Greenwich has been legally des-
ignated as the boundary line between
South and West Australia. To mark
this line on the earth experts have
proposed to employ wireless longti-
tude signals to determine an initial
point on the line.
These signals are to be sent by
high-power radio signals between the
Greenwich, England, and Sydney,
Australia, observatories and received
simultaneously by the latter two. The
governments of the United States and
Great Britain have been asked to CO.
operate in the work. Signals from
various stations have been tested.
Although Lyons, France is by no
means symetrically located relative to
Greenwich and Sydney, signals ema-
mating there have been received at
he two observatories when conditions
were favorable.

AUSTRIANS GIVE UP.

The Government of Austria has an
nounced that it can continue no long
er and that it is ready to turn the
country over to the PREPARATIONS COM
mittee of the allies, 1t is not po-
litical crisis; it is an economic one.
Austria can produce only small part
of the food her people need, and she
has been largely supported by charity
for months. Reduced by the treaty
terms from 100000 square miles to
$4,000 and deprived of her mines,
grain lands and most other resources,
the country sees no hope but union
with Germany. This has long been
favored, but it is opposed by the al
lies. The value of the Austrian
kronen is about 1-20th of normal,
which makes it impossible for the
country to purchase supplies abroad.
For the first time in modern history
an Independent country is ready to
turn itself over to outside control -
to go Into the hands of receiver.

FIR TREES VALUABLE

The fir tree not only yields fine
lumber but numerous important COM
mercial products are obtained from
its resinous sap. By tapping the
tree in such a manner as to exclude
air from the incision a pitch rich in
turpentine is obtained-twice as rich
as the product obtained by ordinary
methods. Besides turpentine the
pitch yields fir oil from which ar
tificial fruit flowers are prepared as
we'll as varnish resins, burgundy
pitch, medicinal oils etc. According
to one authority, the pitch of frs
and other conifers was developed as
a means of protection for the trees in
glacial times; in the present warmer
period it is a more or less useless
waste excretion.

COSTS FALL ia PCT
FROM PEAK LAST JULY

New York, Jan. 22-The cost of
living in the United States decreased
ia per cent between July, 1920,
when the peak of the rise since 1914
was reached, and January 1921, ac-
cording to statement yesterday by
the National Industrial Conference
Board.
The decrease between December,
1920, and January 1921, was 4.6 per
cent Despite this reduction the av-
erage prices January were still 81 2
per cent above the pre-war level.
% The decrease between December
and January was brought about
largely by the decline in food prices,
which averaged 8 per cent during
the month.
The price of clothing dropped ST.
per cent within the month, but this
item is of less importance in the to-
tai budget than is food.
There was no change in the aver
age rents or in the average cost of
fuel, light or sundries, although
changes in individual localities were
noted.

has been widely charged, he is being
paid much more than he is worth and
Prussia is being double-crossed. AT
kaisering he is no longer worth more
than 40 marks month. He has de-
veloped into a passable wood sawyer,
but even at So cord he could not
make more than $50 week. He is
said to be writing his memoirs on the
side. He would probably make more
that way than any other, but certain
ly Prussia shouldn't pay him a sal
airy for doing II. He might develop
into movie director, but it isn't
necessary for Prussia to pay a fancy
figure for his keep in the meantime

MAKING CARBON-BLACK

The substitute for lampblack,
known as carbon-black, is made by
burning natural gas. II may also be
made by burning oil but the oil pro-
duct is not so black and is inferior
in other respects. In the production
of carbon-black from gas the carbon
is deposited on moving steel channels
above the burners, being scraped off
by the movement of the channels over
each other. Scientists now seek a
method for producing the black by
mixing other gases with natural gas.
hoping that the appalling waste of
the old process-only about 1.5 per
cent of the carbon in the gas is re-
covered as black-will thus be elimi-
mated.

FOR PROTECTION
Governor Morrow Upholds
Plans For Marketing
OF Crops.

Frankfort, KY, Jan. ga volun-
zsary organization Of farmers for their
rmntnal protection; for the purpose
of making business plans for market
ing their crops and for establishing
and creating conditions that will
bring about actual and honest compe-
Etifien In the purchase of their crops
is not violation of the antitrust law
according to Gov Edwin p. Morrow.
The question of such an organiza-
,rtion being in violation of the anti
trust law was brought to the atten-
zion of the governor today by COM
mittee of the Burley Tobacco Grow
1ersr incorporated, who came here to
siiscnss the tobacco situation with the
chief executive. In the delegation
were Abe Renick, of Winchester; Gus
A. Brown, of Mayslick; c. o. Hemp
ling, of Boone County; Charles Long,
of Carroll County and E. l.. Harrison,
of Lexington, who is president of the
Farmers Union and secretary of the
Bnrley organization.
The delegation presented figures
campbell by the department of agri-
culture, University of Kentucky,
showing that it had cost an average of
% cents a pound to raise the 1920
,s-rop, and expressed the belief that
If the tobacco growers would with
hold their tobacco from the market
zntil after an organization had been
made that better prices would be Of
Tered for the tobacco. The plan of
the organization is to cut out the
I92l crop and limit the acreage there
after.
The governor said that the farmer
yhxs much to gain and nothing to lose
by withholding his present crop from
THE market until the growers of the
:state had have an opportunity to per-
lesCt an organization.
MI Harrison told the governor that
s21e Burley growers in the twenty-six
counties in which Burley tobacco is
produced, are willing to cooperate
vEith the organization by keeping the
1920 crop from the market until the
farmers have organized.
After the conference Governor Nor
-wsSw issued statement which said, in
part:
II am now, and have been deeply
interested in, and distressed over the
6Dbaeco situation in Kentucky. There
rs no doubt that the price now being
paid for tobacco thruout the state
does not represent more than half the
cost of its production.
Under high prices formerly paid
by buyers the manufactured product
has sold readily and at very sub
stantial and handsome profit to the
manufacturer, but at the very greatly
reduced price offered for the present
crop, no substantial hope is held out |
that the finished product will be sold |
at any reduced price. If the farmer
and the tenant sells hts crop at the |
price now offered, he will not receive |
sufficient money to meet his obliga-
tons, settle his accounts at stores and |
banks, nor to make payments other
wise incident to growing the crop.
81 believe in the right and the ne
cesSity OF the tobacco growers of Ken
tucky TO form a voluntary organiza-
ton for their mutual protection; for
1.-THE purpose of making business plans
for marketing their crops and for es-
fsbiishing and creating conditions
that will bring about actual and hon
est competition in the purchase of
their crops"
