erloom. giving an idea Of the great
saIn in output and quality achieved in
mechanical invention will be an inter
esting item at the efficiency exhibition
In London, where the use of invention
and effort will be shown to be Of
greater value than mere personal APP
plication. Not only will the produc-
lions be seen to be more quickly execut-
ed, but the worker will find the proc
ess less mechanical, strange as this
may appear. What will doubtless
strike all visitors is the enormous in
crease In efficiency in the weaving in

more workers are required to keep up

SCORED ON COUNTRY COUSIN
City Lad Had Endured Much but
Opportunity Came and He
Surely improved 1t.

The country visitor had been regal
ing his young Glendale cousin with
tales of the farm. Some Of his stories
seemed q little far-fetched to the city
lad. who at last became somewhat
wearied with the rural youths boasts
of the superiority Of things ION the
farm"
They were walking along the street
when two young nlen sporting the
small skull caps Of U. Of S. c. were
seer approaching.
The country boy was a little mysti-
fed. "What's this?' he questioned. "a
new city style, these little caps?"
The Glendale lad saw his chance to
get square. "Oh, those he said with
assumed carelessness, mo, you see
these fellows are students at the uni
versity. All the boys who enter have
to wear those caps because under the
system of education they receive their
brains develop so rapidly that their
heads grow in circumference, and II
they wore ordinary hats, new ones
would be necessary almost every

Paths In tho Snow.

Gwen the beaten paths In the snow
possess a Joy all of their own which,
to our mind, excels that Of the 80
called enchantment of the open road'
which had been sung by many writer's
long before Stevenson wrote of it with
such compelling charm" writes Dan
Beard in Boys Life. ITO a bare
footed boy swinging on the front gate
of the white picket fence, the road Is
both Il challenge and an invitation as
he gaZes wistfully down the dusty
reaches and long p~erspectives where
the fences on each side to con
verge until they meet in the unex-
plored distance or where the road
climbs UP the hills and dips into the
swales to lose itself at last in the
mysterious shade Of exchanging
branches of the wood or grove. That
vagabond joy in the open road, that
warming to fare forth and solve the
mystery of what lies beyond, comes
with almost Irresistible force to all OF

A naturally heated cave has been
discovered at Horse Butte, near Bend
Ore, which apparently draws Its
warmth from a su%bterraneah volcanic
source. The discovery was made by
C. A. Yarnell and III. D. Eide, Bend
fuel dealers. The cave is located near
the top Of the Butte and first attract.
ed attention when a wave Of heat was
felt issuing from the mouth. The Gin
der bottom and rock walls Of the tun-
mel are unbearably hot to the toucn'
the heating increasing as far back as
could be explored. That the phenom-
enon is q recent manifestation was In
Dictated by the %smoldering OF grass
and twigs near the opening. To test
the natural oven, Yarnell cooked a
light breakfast by introducing raw
articles Of food into the aperture and
closing the orlfce for a few moments.

SMOKE CANDLE VAP0R DEADLY
Fearful Weapon Said to Have Beer
Brought to Perfection by the
War Department

One Of the many ingenious cOntriv-
anceS developed during the recent wal
was the "Smoke candle" Such can
dies were little cylindrical boxes con-
tanning smoke-producing chemicals,
which could be ignited at a moments
notice by a sort Of friction device.
They were used to conceal the move
ments of small groups of men. When
touched off they were simply placed
on the ground, to make smoke screen.
The Americans thought it would be
q good idea to use smoke candles that
would give off q poisonous
These improved candles did not come
into use during the war, but since
then the chemists of u War depart
ment have perfected them. The poison
stuff used is a coal-tar product which,
q solid at ordinary temperatures. va
pcrizes in the heat Of the burning can
die. The vapor will penetrate most
gas masks. The military authorities
think that such poison smokes VIII
find very extensive $ in future
warfare.
The smoke OF a smoke-candle IS
usually white. TO be effective for con-
cealment, it must, Of course, be as
Opaque as possible; and it must also
be heavy, so as to he not easily blown
away by a light breeze. Candles that
M oduce q smoke of zinc chloride meet
these requirements admirably, but
the addition of "diphenvlchlorarSlne"
makes them poisonous as we'll.

The crystal, %tourmaline, has very
semarkable optical properties, a fact
Known to most people. However, few
people have heard of its peculiar cleo
srical properties. Tourmaline is
capable of attracting small bits of pa
per and straw in much the same way
rs amber. This attraction is, Of course,
due to an electrostatic charge.
When the crystal is exposed to sun
light Of a low temperature, it loses It's
sfectricar charge, but regains 1t upon
being heated again. If 1t has a mega
dive charge at first, it will have a
sositive charge when 1t Is reheated.

HIN! FOB OWNERS OF PETS
Mystery of How Spitz Was Kept
White Is SoIved-Secret Learned
From Washwoman.

. Another secret process was unWlt-
tingly betrayed at q street discussion
between two women recently. The
women, deliberately dressed and SEEM
ingly of the sheltered life" type stood,
pets in leash, as they gossiped. Ihe
one with the Japanese spaniel spoke
first:
Il have an awful time with Togo;
he is such q little aristocrat," and she
jerked at the chain as her substitute
for a child showed a desire to greet q
passing mongrel. "He deteSts CASTLE

a spray with lilac water that the
both of us use. How's little SNOWFALL

Spitz). "We heard he was Ill. You
must have been worried sick. l often

The other woman's turn. as pam
pered pets milled about: 1T was ter

DISPUTE ACCURACY OF CLOCK
Heirs Of Danish NobIeman Stand to
VIA or Lose Large Amount Of
:. Money by Decision.

WOitCJ " SSS'S'S"'
What time was it when the castle
clock struck twelve?
Ten thousand pounds, normally
about $4,000, hangs on the answer to
this question, explains the London E1-
press correspondent in Denmark, which
has been the subject of lively argu-
nent In the eastern civil court, COpen-
hagen.
The clock In question Is In the tower
Of Lystrup castle, the seat of n Of
Denmark's greatest landlords, the late
. Count Moltke, a life member Of the
ancient house Of lords.
Count Moltke died on the night Of
December 19-20,191S, a few seconds
after the castle clock struck twelve.
The Danish parliament recently ap-
proved a new and increased scale Of
death duties, applicable to the estate
Of all persons who died after midnight
on December 1920.
It Is contended by the counts heirs
that the castle clock was fast and
struck q minute too soon. The count,
they say, died on December 10, and
therefore his estate is exempt from
the increase in the death duties.

FARMERS REPLANT
ACRES OF COTTON

On account of the continued cold
weather, farmers in every part of
Anderson county are planting over
their crops. More farmers have been
forced to replant their crops this
spring than in many years past,
some of the farmers losing their
crops by a heavy hailstorm that visit
ed the county and the cold wave af-
fecting the stand of cotton general
ly.
IS. NJ. Byars, county farm agent,
stated this morning that the replant-
ing has been general over the coun-
ty and continues. "In every section
1 go l find the farmers busy planting
their crops over. The cold weather
has hurt the cotton to u great ex-
tent and much of it is dying from
the frosts which were followed by
the continued cold weather. The
planting over is not confined to any
one section of the county, but all the
farmers seem to share in this bad
luck. Of course, it is not too late
to plant cotton, but I had rather
have two-thirds of a stand from the
first planting than to plant over now
ad get a full stand. Where the cot
ton dies, however, like it is doing on
nearly every farm to a certain ex-
tent replantng is necessary however
late it may be-"
The cotton on the clay soils has
not suffered as bad as on the gray
loans. "The cold weather has killed
more cotton on the gray loan soil
than on the red Or clay SOIL" Mr..
Byars said. "Of course there has
been damage done to the cotton on
the clay lands but in most instances
cotton on the clay soil has stood the
cold weather much better than on
the loan Soils"
Whether on clay or loan soil,
The Abbeville press and banner. [volume] (Abbeville, S.C.) 1869-1924, 1921-05-11

there is a problem facing every far
mer now. At the time the cotton is
almost through the soil, the farmer
must take the chance of killing the
crop by stirring the soil with a cult
vator, or allowing the cotton to die
beneath the hard crust from the lack
of cultivation.
"The cold winds pack the soil and
form a crust over the cotton" the
county agent says. "This crust must
be broken before the cotton can
scene through. Some farmers are
afraid to cultivate until the leaves
show, but it is best 20 take the
chance of killing the crop, rather
than have it die there beneath the
crust for want of cultivation. The
soil should be stirred before the crop
is replanted, too, as this kills the
crop of grass about ready to get a
start. The farmers usually do this,
however.
There will be more cotton planted
over in Anderson county this year
than has been replanted since Mr..
Byars has been county agent. The
replanting is almost general over
the county, few farmers not having
more or less cotton killed by the
cold weather.--Anderson Daily
Mail.

Of applying the new process, as used

70 add potassium carbonate to the
