HAVE TO WAIT TO UNLOAD
Shipping Congestion at London Docks
Said to Be of an Extraordinary
Character.

A writer to the London Times de-
scribes the Victoria and Albert docks
at Tilbury as being Crowded to their
fullest capacity with big ships" many
of which ''look absolutely dead for the
simple reason that they can not be I'M
loaded because there is nowhere to
put their cargoes." OF ships carrying
Australian meat il is said to be "a
common thing to wait anything up to a
month for berth and to lie another
month tied up against the wharf, I'M
loading and reloading." 1nef1iciency OF
labor is in large degree responsible,
for the average diScharginS output per
shift OF Is men in Il nine-hour day has
been reduced from 100 to 63 tons. The
cause is partly the loss of many good
men in the war, partly loatinS on the
Job to make work for as many men as
possible Congestion Of the ports Is
attributed to state control over essen
tial imports, to state control over rail
roads. and to reduction of the hours OF
labor. BY these means the carrying
power of ships has been reduced at
least SO per cent below prc-War stand

Rea. Neighhcrliness.

An interesting experiment in neigh
borlincss has been carried on for near
ly Il year in Il part of Toledo which is
populated almost exclusively by Polish
Immigrants and their descendants. The
Polish Business Mems club of the dis
trict conceived the idea that the needy
Polish families in the community
should be taken care of in q neighbor-
~ way, rather rhan by charity or%anl-
cations. The latter were requested moi
to extend aid in the district, but TO
notify the cldb, so that it might meet
all emergencies. This is not done from
the club treasury, however. An inves-
tigation is made 10 determine whether
the need is for money. supplies or
york, and the other residents of the
block, including the tradesmen. are
then informed that their neighbors
need their assistance, which, the club
reports, is always Forthcoming.

MOTOR LICENSES
BRING 100000

An increase of over ten per cent
from the motor vehicle registration is
reported for 1920 by Secretary Brodi-
gan who is issuing the last oil the
1920 licenses and starting to register
vehicles for the coming year. Plates
were issued for 10.4o4 passenger cacrs
and trucks. 14l motorcycles and 70
dealers as compared with 1905 fig
ures of o.305 automobiles, Us motor
cycles and 65 dealers.
The average fee for registering
cars amounted to $l0.50 Through the
operation of the motor vehicle law
the charge was based upon carrying
capacity and weight and not upon
horsepower as i'll previous years.
Receipts ior the year totaled $1O3.307-

MORO A DANGEROUS FANATIC
He Meets Death While Killing
Christians.

The psychology of Mohammedanism
is incomprehensible to persons reared
in the atmosphere and teachings Of
American Christianity. With us the
separation of church and state is as
lRuch matter OF course as the air we
breathe. With us suicide is immoral
and the killing of an unbeieyer is
crime punishable with death. The Mo-
hammedan has no conception of ecclesi-
astical and state law. There is only
one law, the Koran; and while in fact
the priest and the ruler may be diff
ferent persons, they are different only
in functional way, like a judge and
an executive in our government. The
spiritual ruler is also temporal ruler,
as was Mohammed in his day. The
killing of Christians is virtue that
merits everlasting bliss in paradise.
The martyrs of the early Christian
church burned with no more cOnsum-
ing ardor than the humble, ignorant
Mohammedan peasants who swear be-
fore the priest that they will go forth
and devote their lives to killing Chris
tians. MOhammedanS who have sworn
to kill Christians are called in the
Philippines juramentados, from the
Spanish, meaning one who has sworn
or taken an oAtll. Up to a decade ago
it was no uncommon occurrence in
Jolo for a Moro fanatic to conceal his
bolo knife, or kris, in a basket of
fruit until he had passed the guard
at the gate of the walled town, then
draw his blade and cut right and left
killing man, woman or child, with
perfect impartiality, until bullet from
the guard stopped his advance. 1t was
this indomitable will to kill that gave
the Christian Filipino his mortal fear
of the Moro in times past.--O. Garfield
Jones, in Asia.

Numerous and Varied Uses.

Despite its wide distribution and its
suitability for many commercial
uses, native asphalt has not been pro-
duced i'll great quantities i'll the United
States. The demand for asphaltic
material has been largely met by
etroleum asphalt manufactured iron
the low-gravity oils of California and
the gulf coastal fields. Both materials
have been satisfactory and are we'll
known wherever asphalt products are
used. but petroleum asphalt is pro-
duced from oil of grade suitable Tor
fuel, for which there is rapidly in
creasing demand for uses i'll oil-burn
ing ships. The large demand for as
phaltic material might be met i'll part
by bituminous rock, which could be
used for paving country highways
and city streets. and if carefully laid
and maintained the pavemcnts would
be durable and clean and would pro-
duce relatively little noise or dust.
European countries use large guam
titles OF bituminous rock in building
roads, and if the United States would
adopt the same practice much oil that
IS greatly needed Tor use as fuel and
for other purposes would be released.
Although good pavements OF bitumln-
Gus rock have been laid in Kansas
City, Kan. Oklahoma City, Okla,
and other cities many rock-asphalt
pavements constructed in this country
have not been successful because the
contractor failed to understand the
nature OF bituminous rock. The rock
differs greatly in quality, and each de-
post must be analysed and treated &C
coringly. Larger commercial sue
cess will probably be attained by the
employment of better methods than
are now generally known. The tech
nical difficulties of utilizing bitimnous
rocks in road suriacing appear to war
rant careful research by the best
chemists and paving engineers.
Other varieties of native asphalt.
notably gilsonite, grahamite and
wurtzlite, are used in the manutiac-
ture of paint, varnisf, roofing. water
proofing, insulation. flooring, filler and
artificial rubber Although these

NEVADA LANDS RICH
IN ASPHALT SHALES

Few mineral deposits in America
are more promising to the prospector
or more interesting to the scientist
than the asphalt deposits of Calsfor-
mia, Kentucky and the Rocky noun
tain and mid-continent states, accord
ing to report just issued by the
United States Geological survey, de-
partnent of the interior. There are
no deposits in the United States equal
in size and purity to the mysterious
pitch lake Trinidad from which
asphalt has been taken for paving the
famous 'thoroughfares of the world
for man wears without materially
lowering its surface, but there is a
great quantity of bituminous rocks
that could be used locally i'll surfacing
our vast mileage OF unimproved high
ways. Native asphalt. although one of
Of our great undeveloped natural re-
sources has not been extensively
mined, because of the former abund-
ance of asphaltc petroleum and be-
cause oil Our large imports, but now
bituminous products of many varie-
ties obtained from domestic deposits
could adequately supply the requir E
ments in several parts of the country.
As asphalt is formed from petro-
leum and is remarkable preventative,
it has long been subject of alb
sorbing interest to the oil geologist
and the paleontologist Many Of the
suriace deposits throughout the coun-
try. like that of Los Angeles, Cal,
which yielded remains oil the extinct
saber- toothed tiger, were formed in
recent or Pleistocene time, but some
are much older. The asphalt forna-
tons range in thickness from Jew
inches to many feet, and as they are as
sociated with petroleum, both geo
graphically and stratigraphically and
are like i'll origin and composition
they may be roughly assigned in the
same fields.

Immunity From Whooping Cough.

DR.. II. Luzzati of Rome was called
to three different houses, in each OF
which a child had begun to cough. In
each case he suspected that it might
be whooping cough; therefore, as a
precaution, he vaccinated all the broth
ers and sisters with an anti-whooping-
serum. Ten days later his suspicion
was confirmed by the typical Whoop,
but in no case did one of the other
children catch the disease, though no
attempt at isolation was made.
In reporting this to Pollcl'nlcs
(Rome) Doctor Luzzati says he has
found no benefit from vaccination once
the disease has become pronounced.

CURING intolerance of NIX.

DR.. Genegrier reports to the French
Pediatrics society that a newly born
infant which could not take milk in
any form was cured by three subcu-
taneous injections, one every other
day. of S. is and 30 minims of steril-
lied cows milk. The third injection
was followed by violent vomiting and
ripors. but from this moment the baby
tolerated milk by the mouth in pro
pressive doses. beginning with five and
ending with $50 grams day.

was deepening around them. II wasn't
really true. 1t was simply that he
had become aware of the little con
tinuous sounds Of which usually he
was unconscious, and they tended to
accentuate the hush of the night He
knew. just as ali mountaineers know.
that the wilderness about him was
stirring and pulsing with life. Some
of the sounds were quite clear-an
occasional stir of pebble or the crack
of a twig. and some, like the faintest
twitchng of leaves In the brush not
ten feet distant, could only be guessed
at.
"What is making the soundsT ne
asked.
He didn't know it. at the time, but
Lennox turned quickly toward him. It
wasn't thst the question had surprised
the mountaineer. Rather 1t was the
tone In which Dan had spoken. 1t was
perfectly cool, perfectly self-con-
tained

Dams appetite vas not as. a rule par
ticularly good. But evidently the long
ride had affected him. He simply
didn't have the moral courage to re-
fuse when the elder Lennox heaped
his plate
Good heavens, can't eat all that"
he said, as it was passed to him. But
the others laughed and told him to
take heart.
He took heart. 1t was a singular
thing. but at that first bite his sudden
confidence in his gustatory ability al
most overwhelmed him. So he cut
himself bite of the tender steak
fully half as generous as the bites that
Bill was consuming across the table.
And its first flavor simply filled him
with delight.
"What is this meat?" he asked.
'I've certainly tasted it before"
"Tll bet few dollars that you
haven't, if you've lived all your life
in the Middle West" Lennox an
swered. Maybe you've got what the
scientists call an inherited memory of
1t. It's the kind of meat your grand
father used to live on-venison."
Soon after dinner Lennox led him
out of the house for his first glimpse
of the hills in the darkness.
They walked together out to the
gate, across the first of the wide pas
lures where, at certain seasons. Len
noX kept his CATTLE and at last they
came out upon the tree-covered ridge.
The moon was just rising. They could
see 1t casting a curious CLINT over the
very tips of the pines. But it couldn't
get down between them. They stood
too close, too tall and thick for that
And for moment Dams only sensa-
ton was one of silence.
You have TO stand still q moment.
TO really know anything" Lennox told
him.
They both stood still. Dan was as
motionless as that day in the park,
long weeks before, when the squirrel
had climbed on his shoulder The first
effect was a sensation that the silence
