WOULD FERTILE zE THE AIR
Scientist Sees Immense Possibilities

Recently men have undertaken to
mine nitrates, or some ct the mate.
rial for nitrates, from the air. There
is nitrogen enough in the air, no doubt,
to. blow civilization Off the earth,
were that nitrogen concocted into aex-
plosives. . + y \, Y! Y. t ~! y
Now comes hopeful German SCI
enlist named Riedel, who believes
that the air. itself may be fertilized
to such an extent that plants will
bound forth from their seeds like ten
mis- balls. He would fill the air where
PLANTS are Embedded with carbon d.
oxide (carbonic acid .gas). Plants
love this gas as d fresh-air crank loves
the out Of doors. They use 1t .ambi-
ticusly, but could use more; Man
iexpels it.with his breath, Plants take
1t up and expel oxygen, which man
can use. Thus men and plants are
mutually helpful. But more carbon
dioxide is always a good thing for:the
vegetable world, AID Doctor Riedel
proposes to supply more. ia (. ...>,t
He would get his supplies from the
blast furnaces, whose great lungs ex-
pei this gas. An industry which uses
1000 tons of coke per day expels 3d.

20 per cent is carbon dioXide. Doc

WOOD TREASURER
Manager of Generals Pre-
Convention Campaign Asks
Reimbursement.

CHICAGO. March 24.-An after
math of the, preconvention campaign
for President developed today when
Col. William Cooper Proctor, of Gin
cinnati, who was manager of Gen.
Leonard Woods campaign, filed suit
in the United States District Court
here against Maj. A. A. Sprague, I'd,
treasurer of the campaign fund. for
$4,000.
This amount, according to the
filed by Mr.. Proctor. rep
resents money which he expended
in the campaign and for which he
was never reimbursed. According
to the papers fled, a demand note
for $4,000, at per cent interest,
was signed by both campaign ON
cials and held by the Merchants
Loan and Trust Company. Payment
was demanded by the bank No
vember Is. 1920. Mr.. Sprague, the
says, refused to pay,
whereupon payment was made by
Mr.. Proctor. The suit is to recover
s50.4os, representing half the note
and interest. The balance repre-
sents moneys Mr.. Procter says he
paid to the fund at various times.
II was under the impression that
everything connected with my cam
paign had been settled. I know
nothing about the suit or its basis
that was a matter for the finance
of the campaign to set
tie." said Gen. Wood today.
Efforts to get in touch with Mai.
Sprague were unavailing.

our Judgment was warped by our
natural resentment of the battling

ing again and again, at a hundred
places in the book, sentences like

The secretiveness of the discuss

delegates were practically unani-
nous in disapproving the secrecy of
the proceedings. The open sessions
of the conference were arranged be-
forehand. They were formal and
perfunctory. The agreements and
bargains were made behind closed
doors. The American commission

most entirely ignorant of the pro-

On April ?. 1919. Mr.. Lansing
wrote in his diary: Everywhere
there are developing bitterness and
resentment against secrecy. Mutt

and the tactics of the 'gum-shoer'
are discredited."
And a few days later. in the same
month of April, 1919. Mr.. Lansing
recorded a conversation he had with
an Italian diplomat. who said: "All

1t is said there is a fruitful field
in the alleged sand ring" which
has forced the price of sand from

years, with mountains of sand at
the city's doors. Contractors are
not permitted to buy outside sand.
but are referred to certain Chicago
agents, all OF whom quote the same
prices.
Inquiry will also be made into a
clause in the contract between the
building contractors and the build

non-union goods. This means that
no building can be erected in this
city unless all the material Is pur-
chased from some firm dictated by
