N auto and when held up at the Ann
Arbor crossing an Owosso msnufac.
urer's truck whirled around the corner

{ to the extent of 5000. The manufac-
;urer refuses to pay the damage. and
he young lady expresses herself as
follows:
My fellow citizens young and old,
wish to ask question bold,
Why it is that q certain number
Are granted privileges without

For business, or shopping, or to
look around,
And perhaps get breath after the

Taking care of the crops and filling
the soil.
He drives southwark down the street,
And to his surprise what should he
meet
But a great big truck coming from
south and turning west,
The farmer has the right of way as
you might guess.
All in an instant there's crash and
bangl
And the street is filled with rush
ing gang,
The truck you see in turning too far
Smashed right into the farmers car!
Now who's to blame7 of course you
can't gness,
For the truck was the biggest and
made the mess,
The farmer should have shot to left
or right. t--,
Or gone straight up to get out OF
sight.
He should managed someway, some
how
To avoid collision or at least q row,
For the city people have the right OF
way,
The farmers place is making hay.
And he has no business coming to towr
And make big truck run him down
If he gets his car smashed, the city
men say,
Let him pay his own bills, keel
out of the way
For we're running our busne SO ant
we've a right to these street.

And to the farm house he arrives,

AID Is ASKED FOR AUSTRlANs
World-F Famous Physicians Picture Stunted Growth and Diseases
 From Hunger.

Vienna. Three internationally known Austrian physicians have joined in q statement to the effect that Austrian children will remain perma. nently stunted in growth unless ade- quate relief is given immediately.
 The physicians are Dr. Eiselberg. Vienna brain specialist and one of the leading surgeons of the city. and Drs. Lorenz and Pirquet, the latter inventor of the tuberculin test and for two years professor at Johns Hopkins uni versity.
 At the end of juvenile growth the average boys of Vienna are about four inches below normal height and about sixteen pounds below normal weight. Girls are correspondingly stunted." they say.
 I've also believe from medical standpoint these children win never have their normal weight and height. but will go through life in this stunted conditianp

 The tank on his auto had been leak ing and he decided to fix it.
 He had scarcely finished the sep- tence when the top of the tank went up to the ceiling.
 Tenants on the three upper floors rushed to the street, police reserves, firemen and detectives were called and Inspector Callahan of the bureau of eombustbles. who was in the neigh borhood, ran to the house.
 The police entered the apartment to take charge of corpse. but found only broken window. a dismembered tank and perfectly healthy man.

CT in this powerful solvent as if can be employed in making more porous eharcoals contained in the filter ma terial of war gas masks. a process known as activation.
 "Ihe coconut charcoal used in the gas mask,' continued Dr. Lenher, "can be activated by this new reagent by treatment at ordinary temperatures, which Is a considerable advance over the older steam actiyation at a white heat"
 The use of activated charcoal in the extraction of gasoline from natural gas is one which is interesting chem ists today, and still leaves the gas available for household and industrial purposes As a laboratory reagent. Dr Lenher said that the properties of selenium oXychloride are so unusual that it is likely to come into common Use wherever research is conducted.

Nationwide Campaign Being Made to Keep Illicit Drugs
 Out of the Country.
FAIL TO GET SMUGGLERS
Authorities Admit They Have Been Helpless in Preventing Addicts From Securing Dope-Where
 Opium Comes From.

New York.-A nationwide campaign is being made against the sale of il- licit drugs in the United States. Fed eral investigators have reported that more morphine, heroin, cocaine and straight opium are being used in New York city, Chicago, San Francisco. Philadelphia and Boston than ever be- fore. While the authorities in these cities have the laws necessary to deal with the situation. they declare they cannot stop something they cannot see.
 When it is considered that one man can cross the Canadian border or the Rio Grande and, without changing his appearance in any manner, return with several thousand dollars worth of drugs, 1t may be realized how diffi- cult 1t is for national, state and mu- nicipal authorities to cope with the situation. Besides this difficulty, the government has announced that the illegitimate use of habit-forming drugs has increased anywhere from % to 50 per cent since the Eighteenth amendment became an appenuX 10 the Constitution.
 Where Opium Comes From.
 Virtually all of the opium lawfully sent to the United States comes from London and Edinburgh. In these cities three manufacturers send out more opium than all the rest of the manu- lecturers in Great Britain. While some of the opium smuggled into this country comes from India, larger portion comes from Turkey, Persia and Syria.
 In New York city the narcotics squad of the internal revenue bureau has made frequent raids against the snug gler. the dispenser and the addict They have discovered that much eo-

WAS DREAM IF ALCHEMISTS
'issolVes Rubber, Clues, Hydrocar- bons and Many Substances Here- tofore Regarded as Most Re-
 sistant to Chemical Agencies.

Lincoln, Neb.-New properties of q liquid described before the students of the department of chemistry of the University of Nebraska show that it almost realizes the dream of the al chemists of old who sought the uni versal solvent.
 AS described by Dr. Victor Lenher, professor of chemistry at the uniyer- sty of Wisconsin, who has come here to deliver a series of addresses on the subject, further tests have shown that selenium oXychloride as the solv- ent is called, is more powerful even than was indicated in his preliminary announcement made before the Amer jean Chemical society.
 It dissolves rubber, gues. channels, hydrocarbons and many other sub stances which hitherto have been re- garded as most resistant to all chem ical agencies except fire.
 Other Substances Dissolved.
 Such products as redmanol, bakelite and coEdensite which are used as substitutes for amber in the making of pipe stems and for many other industrial purposes, and have been until now regarded as insoluble in all known solvents. are readily dissolved by selenium oXychloride, according to the announcement of Dr. Lenher.

Work Animals in Demand.

Pennsylvania and the states east and north do not produce one-fOurth of the work animals they use and are constantly drawing on the Central West for their work stock. Many of these are farm chunks sold directly to eastern farms, while others are horses produced and worked on the farms of the Mississippi valley until five or six years old, then passed to eastern cities, where after six or eight years of service they ara resold as sore-footed city-worn hsrses to. deal CTS, who sell them at a very nominal figure to farming sections sf New Eng land, to work the balaRce of their days. Such horses represent a con- plete cycle from farms ts cities and back to farms again. It is more true now than iA the past, that the good horse or mule pays profit to the pro dueer, the dealer and ultimate user, while the poor one loses money to all ncerned.-ExehaHge

Watch Won't Wake
 Dead; Owner Jailed

Miami, Fla.-Failure of watch, buried at the side of Laura Miller's husbands grave, to awaken the dead spouse caused the arrest of Joe Thomas.
 The woman gave Thomas S15 and gold watch when the lat ter promised to resurrect her dead husband.
 Thomas buried the watch at the side of the grave, saying this action would arouse the dead man.
 Several days of "watchful waiting failed to produce re- suits. Thomas was charged with emhezzlement and bound over under a $500 bond.

 The authorities realize that it is an easy matter for harbor boatman to load his clothing with dope during the night. He is not subjected to daily search. So long as he maintains reasonable care and observance of common sense in his methods he can continue indefinitely Drugs are easily concealed Federal authorities have found opium in women's hair, sewed into mems hat bands, contained in artificial limbs, filling the inner tubes of automobile tires. In consignments of lumber and vegetables and even in collars worn by dogs trained to make daily trips across the Canadian bor- der.
 The solution of the problem lies in federal act prohibiting the impor- tation, manufacture and exportation of habit-forming drugs, except in such limited amounts as are necessary for the legitimate uses of the medical pro- fession, according to Royal s.
