Science to Lift Adams Curse
From Man, Says Chemist.

New York, Sept. "a revolution in
chemical science. which will have a
wide bearing on human affairs" was
prophesied by Sir William ]. Pope,
president of the Society of Chemical
Industry of Great Britain, in an ad-
dress hare today, before the interna-
tionai meeting of the British organiZa-
ton and the American Chemical So
ciety.
sit is safe to-prophesy that the next
great epoch of organic chemical prog
ress lies in the very near future and
that it will lead us to laboratory meth
DDS of initiating with considerable
fidelity the complex chemical changes
brought about in living matter by the
utilization of low potential energy" he
said.
when we possess full working de-
tails concerning the plant-leaf process
for converting carbon dioxide and wa
ter into formafdehyde and oxygen by
utilizing the suns energy, when we
can make indigo and quinine by the
identical methods adopted by the
entirely different proposition from the
one which it now represents
May Burn Plant Oils.
Further along in his address, which
was entitled Chemistry and Life he
said:
''On all hands we are met by the
demand and indeed by the expectation
that science will lift the curse of Adam
from humanity. It is no part of my
task today to discuss philosophical
questions whAch originated in the Gar
den of Eden, but it seems plain that
modern science is called upon to find
means for curtailing the expenditure
of such high potential forms of energy
as human labor and mineral.
1.-The solution of Shis problem must
come from the proper utilization of
the radiant energy which comes to US
from the sun; we require efficient
methods for transporting solar energy
from the tropics for use in our more
temperate chimes. It is perfectly pos
sibIe that the scientific study of OIL
bearing plants in tropical regions may
lead to such improvements in yield
and cost of production that vegetable
oils will replace the ordinary fuels,
coal and petroleum now used the
world over"

TO MAKE CHANGES ATTY. W.
New Club Room VIII Be Installed on
Second Floor.

According to the plan recommended
by the executive board Of the Y. w.
C. A. at its monthly meeting, Thurs
day, several alterations will be made
in the building occupied by that or
ganization. The swimming pool will
be deepened and the walls of the room
in which the big tank is placed will
receive anew coat of white paint. In
addition to these changes a new club
room will be installed on the SECOND
floor.
Starting October 1. physical exam
nations will be given to all members
of the Y. w. C. A. who make use of
the swimming pool and other athletic
privileges of the association. These
examinations will be given in order to
safeguard the health of all members
who use these privileges.
Miss Nell Stringfeilow, physical, di-
rector of the Y. W. c. A, has several
new plans for physical work to intro
duce to the gymnasium. classes this
winter. Miss Stringfellow brought
back many new ideas from the national
Y. W. c. A. training school which she
attended at New York, this summer.
The Y. w. C. A. cafeteria will begin
to serve Sunday dinners in the near
future. The executive board, decided
on this course at its meeting Thursday.
The Sunday dinner plan is the result
of the requests of several working
girls of the city, who object to eating
their Sunday dinner at the up town
eating houses because of the usual
Sunday crowds.

ARE ACCREDITED SCHOOLS
ST. Maryss and st. Benedict's Are
Recognized by Bureau.

Recognized by Bureau.
st. Mary's college, of st. Marys, and
st. Benedict's college, of Atchison,
both Catholic institutions, are recog-
nized by the bureau of education of
the United States department of the
interior ard are fully accredited for
college work by the University of Kan
sas.
Correcting an erroneous impression
which may have, been created by re-
cent publication of a list OF Kansas
colleges accredited and non-accredited
by the state board of education, Miss
Euna M. Arrasmith, secretary of the
board, today issued the following
statement:
Private and parochial schools are
practically independent of official
supervision. Thirteen UNCONVENTIONAL
colleges, however, have voluntarily ap-
piled for and received accreditment
from the board of education under the
state law.
TN addition to the colleges ac-
credited by the board there are a few
strong schools, among them st. Mary's
college and st. Benedict's college,
which have not formally applied for
recognition. The fact that a school
is not accredited by the state board,
therefore, does not necessarily mean
that the quality of instruction offered
is inferior to the standards established
by the board"

PRESERVE HAWTHORNE'S HOME
Old Residence of Famous Author
Made Into Community House.

South Casco. Me. Sept. 9.-The house
on the shores of Sebago Lake here in
which Nathaniel Hawthorne lived as
a boy and where he made his home
when attending Bowdoin college, is to
be preserved as a community house.
Citizens and summer residents have
just formed a corporation for the pur-
pose.
Robert Manning, of Salem. Mass,
who owned thousands of acres of
land about Sebago lake, built the
house in 1914 for his sister, who was
Hawthorne's mother. Mrs. Haw-
thorne had lost her husband at sea
and lived afterward in retirement.
Hawthorne was ten years old when
he came to the new house with his
mother, and this continued to be his
home until after his graduation from
Bowdoin college in 1925. when he re-
turned to Salem

said, had heard the band, but had never
seen the horse which was new acquisition,
and would make his positively first APP

Federal Highway Council Meet
ing Induces Railroads to Re-
sumo Old Methods.

A meeting which was epochal in
character in so far as it's potentiali-
ties are concerned, and which resulted
in an agreement to restore the Store
Door Delivery system in Baltimore,
Nd. has just been held under the
auspices of the Federal Highway
Council. Steps leading up to this
meeting and the subseaent agreement
were taken by the Federal Highway
Councils transportation committee on
relation OF highways to railroads and
Waterway of which w. J. l.. Bantam,
general traffic manager OF the Otis
Elevator Company and a member of
the executive committee OF the Ma
ttonal Industrial Traffic League, Is
chairman, and tRe subcommittee on
store door delivery. of which Roy s.
MacElwee. former director of the Blu
merce. is chairman.
EXECUTIVES ATTEND.
The meeting was held In the con-
ference room OF the Merchants and
Manufacturers Association at Baiti-
more. Mr.. Bantam presided and was
attended by representatives of the
Pennsylvania, Baltimore g. Ohio. and
the Western Maryland Railroads, the
shippers of Baltimore. and other MEM
bers of the Federal Highway Councils
COMMITTEES. The details of the meeting
were arranged by A. z. Beck, traffic
manager OF the Merchants and Manu-
facturers' Association OF Baltimore.
and one of the active members of the
councils committee.
The result of the meeting was the
unanimous agreement for the appoint
ment OF a local committee, including
representation of the railroads and
shippers. and to designate to that
committee the working out of de-
tails concerning operation. Mr.. Ban
ham named Mr.. Beck as chairman,
representing the Federal Highway
Council and the Merchants and Manu-
fscturers' Association of Baltimore.
when the railroad representatives at
the conference asserted that they
would cooperate 100 per cent in re-
establishing store door delivery. the
success of the movement became as
sured.

Store-door delivery was abolished

existence in Baltimore and Washing

saving to Baltimore shippers alone
of between two and three millions of
dollars annually will be brought
about. In addition, a greater saving

DETACHABLE MOTOR is
POPULAR BOAT FEATURE

One of the conspicuous features of
the rapid growth OF motor boating as
a sport is the detachable cupboard mo-
tor.
The sport fisherman who uses IL in
his rowboat finds he can get out far
Their from shore in his quest for game,
and when IL comes TO trolling. the lit
tie motors are able to move the boat
at just the correct speed for all cases.
At many summer resort lakes in the
mountains the vRcationist spends the
greater part of his day on the lake in
a small boat How convenient IL Is to
be able to move about without any
eXertion and vacation In a real lei
surely fashion.
For operation by children and un-
skilled persons these motors are ideal.
The motor may be quickly started,
always under perfect control by rea-
son of a rudder which Is fitted close
to the propeller.
1t can be packed into a carrying
case and readily moved about
from place to place. The weight 10
rs odd pounds. The general average
OF power is about 3 horsepower.
One of the principal objections to
the large size built-in motors, namely
the operating cost. does not exist with
these little machines. The tanks only
hold a gallon or thereabouts OF gaso-
line. In most OF the motors, particu-
larly of the two-cycle type, the lu-
bricstipg oil Is mixed with the gsso-
line and furnishes at once, an auto
matte positive fabrication system
which will not fail to work. These
little machines will operate on about
one quart of fuel per hour and a mile
age of twenty-five miles to the gal
Ion Is not unusual.
The cost OF maintenance Is also a
negligible quantity. II the cost OF
the motor is divided by it's useful life
II will be found in general to be under
$40 per year.

IMPRoMPTU CONDENSER
PROTECTS AUTO FINISH

When blowing out" a motor by
means of kerosene or some chemical
or prepared carbon remover, an. old
hose connection at least three feet long
may be slipped over the muller tail
pipe and arranged to lead the carbon
laden exhaust gas to a pail of water
behind the car.
To prevent back pressure, the hose
Is suspended two or three inches
above the surface of the water. The
object is to condense the exhaust gas
and prevent 1t affecting the health of
the motorist and the finish of his car.
The plan has proved practical, even
on large eight and twelve cylinder
cars, which formerly smoked like n
roundhouse on being thus separated
from their carbon.

Probably the reason that Death

Temporary marks were placed on
boards or boxes by philanthropic

But this condition is now a thing

time for us to renew our licenses
and pay the stated fee for the priv
ilege of using the highways o. our
respective States, says an authority
writing in Motor" Motor vehicle
taxes have been growing heavier In
the past few years and we must
exercise all diligence lest they be
made oppressive by legislators grown
fat on the excessive taxation witch
was willingly borne during the war
period.
However, before we bemoan our
hard fates too loudly, II might do
us good to examine the condition
OF our motoring brothers in the va'i-
out European countries. To :his end
suppose we take a typical small four
cylinder motor with a bore and
stroke of roughly 81 by 5h. which
is rated by the S. A. e. at 1875 horse
power. The annual tax on a car
equipped with an engine OF this size
would average about x12 In this coun-
try. In Great Britain the hcrsepow-
or rating would be 1873 and the an
nual fees would amount to approx
mntely $50 under the pre-war rats
of exchange. The French rating Tor
this same engine would be 10 horse
power and the tax would be about
$3.50. Spain lists the horsepower a.
PA and charges about $50 for the
yearly privilege of operation. Bel
GUM rates II at 2o.b and puts the
fee at 800. Italy makes the horse
power 1920 and It costs the festive
Italian exactly $3.50 per annuin to
take the roads in a car so rated.

Baltimore and it's extension through
out the country, in that the serious

In that the rolling stock will not

that II otherwise would, due to the
rapid unloading of freight cars once
