CHEMICAL WARFARE.

Chemical warfare is the topic Ot many arguments which seem to be al d white heat at present, due, 1t is thought, to the disarmament confer ence at Washington. Chemical war fare is a more pleasant way of writ ing the words 'poison gases' With the words go a feeling of dread ot this ghastly engine of war; and with the words go a feeling of hate Of modern warfare as practised in the last conflict.
 Ask the man who knows-he knows that poison gases are a source of fear to begin with and source of worry for months to come. They break down the morale of the oppos- ing armies and leave feeling of hate which years cannot erase.
 One side of the argument is to the effect that the fear of poison gasses, Of which a nation has possession, would tend to place a damper on the desire for war. Armies and battle ships are used as proof of this method of impressing q nation not to declare war. IL is a recognized fact that nation takes the war units of their enemy into consideration before they declare war. Would nation not take stock in the amount of poison gases it's enemy had in re- serve? It is fair to assume that it would. The amount of money it would take to build a modern battle ship would pay for the manufacture of many cubic feet of poison gases which would serve to act as a check to the opposing nation when the se- Cret service of that nation reported that fact to the home office. Dread of war is the largest factor in check ing d conflict, and one of the main dreads of war can be credited to poison gases. Following out this theory-the more units of poison gas the more units to the credit of peace propaganda.
 Is the above line of reasoning safe? Take, for instance, two nations equal ly supplied with poison gases, and one has d ncutralizinE gas The na- ton with a neutraliznE gas would be more secure than ever and the peace argument would be knocked into q cooked hat.
 Economy has been used in arguing for poison gases, but where in the name of common sense can one find economy in nations trying to outdo each other in getting the largest store Of gases on han4? Would there bc a limit?
 It is q question for the diplomats to decide-but there is one thing to be said in favor of poison gases and thai is they were the big factor in making war an unpopular performance which will give the delegates at Washington popular opinion behind them in their cndcavors to make con flicts thing of the past.

\ HERO UNKNOWN.

Under the sod of Virginia whose hills have looked down upon the struggle for liberty since the pulse of freedom began to beat in America lies the Unknown Hero
 Honored by the entire nation, his body was laid in its last restnig place today at the conclusion of exercises in which representatives of many governments took part, exercises which expressed as best they could the appreciation of more than one hundred million people for what the Unknown Hero and his "buddies" had done for us.
 From the sacred soil of France he came, with all the pomp and splendor of a conquering prince, because he represented the 1soul of America Across fair seas, red with the setting sun, white with the foam of the wave tops and blue with the reflection of oloudless skies, he approached the shores of the land in whose defense he fought.
 Beneath the vast canopy of the TO- tunda in the National Capitol, he lay in state, in surroundings made sacred because of their association with the names of Lincoln, Garfield and Me Kinley, whose piers rested on the same spot.
 Over the Potomac he was borne, to Arlington Cemetery, where other heroes who served their country well are sleeping beneath a gentle slope. And there he, too sleeps, awaiting the Judgment Day when wars, the blight of the human race, shall end forever.
 Whence sprange this hero before whom the silent millions bow? No body knows Whether he sprang from humble stock in the crowded quarters of d great city or whether he is son of the wide-flung west and it's fields of freedom, no one can say. Of his parents nothing can be told. They live, perhaps, but un- aware that it is their own flesh and blood that we honor today. Whether he be of this religion or that cannot be said. For aught we can say, he might not even have been native of the western world, but an adopted American who was satisfied to die so gloriously for his foster country.
 Forever will the Unknown Hero s identity be revealed only to his Crea- tor. It matters not. for rich or poor Jew or Gentle, native or alien, his memory shall be kept forever green in our hearts, and coming generations will look tenderly upon his last rest ing place in Virginia, and the sun light will warm his couch in token of the great love that Americans will always have for him.

THE Inter SITUATION

Linters are by-product obtained
as result of cleaning cotton seed
preparatory to their use in our oil
mills. Through the agency of the
gin the greater part of the fiber of
the cotton seed is removed, but there
is still left on the seed a very con-
siderable amount of short fiber
closely matted about it. Linters, of
course, vary considerably in charac-
ter and quality, and the amount OBJ
tanned from ton Of seed differs ma
terially, according to the process Of
cleaning instituted by the oil mill.
For a long time the delinting of
cotton seed was a very difficult and
expensive undertaking. In recent
years, however, machinery has been
invented which makes this process
comparatively simple, and it is now
possible to so completely remove the
linters from cotton seed as to give
them the appearance of Sea Island
or Egyptian seed. Ordinarily only
from 25 to IS pounds of lint was
cut from ton of seed, because there
was not such demand for linters
as to justify the removal Of more
Of the lint. The world war, however,
changed this whole situation and
created an enormous demand for
linters on account of their value in
the manufacture of explosives. AS
q result, during the war period the
United States government required
the mills to secure as high as 140
pounds of lint per ton of seed. There
are instances on record where as
much as 200 pounds of lint per ton
was secured. This end was attained
through the invention and use of
more improved machinery than had

the basis followed during the war
period.
To many it will no doubt be sur
prising that the very comfortable
and desirable mattresses so extern
| sively used throughout the country
are made from the lowly Inter.
Many will also be surprised to know
that linters finn the basis of so
deadly an exp!osiTe as gun cotton.
The fact that our armies and those
of our allies wey g supplied with an
abundance of this material was
factor Of some importance in decid-
ing the war in our favor. The Ger
mans tried to make substitutes
therefor from wood cellulose, and
succeeded to a considerable extent,
but they were never able to fully
overcome the handicap which their
failure to obtain an abundant supply
Of linters imposed uNon their manu-
facturers Of high explosives.
The Inter, in a sense, is of rather
loWly origin. It's value and posi-
bilities have been but slowly recog-
nized. Comparatively little atten-
ton or consideration has been given

ty Of uses to which it may be put
and the latent possibilities which lie
| ahead for it's development. The war
taught us something of the Value
! and essential character of linters,
but now that the necessities Of the
hour have been satisfied it Is tend
ing to drift back into the unimpor-
tant position it previously occupied.
The people of the south are tremen-
| douSly interested in the Inter prop
/ osition. Anything which can be
done to improve their character and
increase their usefulness gives an
added value to the cotton seed and
the fiber of cotton itself. Research
along the line of Inter utilization
should be Instituted and promoted in
every southern state. If this were
done 1t would soon be possible to
standardiZe this product in man
ner which has never been underta-
ken in the past. Undoubtedly new
uses for linterS would be revealed
which would greatly increase the de-
mand for the same. If this product
were standardized many Of the dis
putes and controversies now arising
relative to what constitutes a desir-
able grade or quality Of inters
would be obviated. This would
save much money and time and a
good deal Of litigation.
If some organization were created
to analyze and study the possibilities
Of linters much valuable information
relative thereto could be widely dis
tributed. At the present time the
great majority of our people know
nothing about this subject. One of
the crying needs Of our country at
the present time is for an adequate
supply Of cheap paper. The exhaus-
ton Of our forests, from which wood
pulp has been obtained in the past,
is near at hand. We face the time
shortly when we must either limit
the use of paper or find another
source Of supply. Obviously it will
soon become so high priced as to
limit it's distribution. 1t appears
now, however, that a very high
grade Of paper can be made from
linters. This is one Of the recent
facts brought to light by investiga
tors. The possibilities Of utilizing
linters in this direction are still I'M
known, because only a limited

hitherto been employed. The best
results in delinting cotton were OBJ
tafned through what Is known as
the carborundum system. Upon the
conclusion of the war the govern
ment had no further use for the i'm
mense amount of linters being pro-
duced in this country, and hence
the mills went back to an average
cut Of presumably 65 pounds Of lint
per ton Of seed. In other words.
they began to make what is known
as mattress linters.
Linters resemble immature or I'M
developed cotton fibers in many re-
spects. The fiber is orten short and
the staple weak. The color natu-
rally varies from gray to greenish
yellow. It Is difficult to obtain a
white Inter. The colors predomi-
mating are the natural colors of the
short lint Of cotton. AS rule. lint
ers range from one-eighth to one
half inch in length. The longest
linters are obtained ordinarily from
the earliest picked cotton.
There are about 500 Oil mills in
operation in the United States.
Twenty years ago the output of
linters was about $4,000 bales,
equal to IL per cent of the cotton
crop. In 1920 it was 60S,000 bales,
equal to 5.4 per cent of the cotton
crop. Under the conditions Of war.
necessarily the output Of linters rose
as high as 1881 900 bales, equal to
1919 per cent of the cotton crop.
Linters are handled much in the
same manner as cotton, being baled
and covered with bagging and tied
with six iron bands. Linters are
bought and sold very much on the
same basis as other cotton. The
commercial value, of course, varies
from &c and upward.
Linters are useful for many pur-
poses. While they are mainly used
in the manufacture of mattresses
and explosives they also serve man.
ufacturers in the following capaci-
ties: First, as batting or wadding.
Second, as materials for making
pads, mattresses, cushions. comforts,
horse collars and upholstery of va
rious kinds. Third, as absorbent
cotton, Fourth, for mixing with
shoddy. Fifth, for mixing with wool
in hat making. Sixth, for mixing
with lambs wool in the manufacture
of f1eece-lined underwear. Seventh,
for low-grade yarns for use in the
manufacture of lamp and candle
wicks, twine, rope and carpets.
Eighth, as an aid in the manufacture
of artificial silk, paper, and the
basis for explosives. It will thus be
seen that the varied uses for linters
create q ready market for a consid
cradle quantity of them. Undoubt-
adly new fields will be found =
which they can be employed to ad
vantage. In spite of the fact that a
much larger proportion Of linters
can be manufactured, therefore,
than Is produced at present, 1t
would appear as if satisfactory
use could ultimately be found for
them. The market, of course, is
overstocked at present, but times
are abnormal. When the readjust-
ments now in process are fully con-
3ummated there is every reason to
believe that the supply of linters
which has accumulated will be alb
orbed and a demand created there
or that will necessitate the almost
complete delinting of the seed on

amount of experimentation has been
undertaken as yet. If it should be
proven, as I believe 1t will, that
linters can be made at a reasonable
cost into the highest grade Of paper
the entire complexion Of fhe situa-
ton as it relates to this proposition
will have been changed. What an
important matter the discovery and
realization Of this fact would be to
the farmers, Oil millers and manu-
facturers of the south generally? A
ready market at our very doors
would be created at substantial
prices for infinitely more linters
than we would ever be able to pro-
duce. This is but one illustration
Of value which research may be
made to our people. It Is another
evidence Of the fact that we are res
ident over undiscovered and unu-
tilted gold mines as potent as any
which have ever been discovered in
the world and as ineXhaustible as
time itself.
There is an old saying that "the
stone which the builders rejected
has now become the head Of the cor
.ner." There is possibility that this
may be true in the case of linters.
We have seen in this generation the
marvellous transformation of the cot
ton seed from nuisance and a
waste product into one Of our most
valuable and important economic as
sets. Through the agency Of re-
search we may see change OF equal
economic significance and impor-
lance take place with regard to the
lowly, despised, and unappreciated
Inter.
Tanning Beef Hides at Home
G.. A. B., Martin, Ga, writes.
have two small beef hides I
wish to tan for home use. such
as hame strings and other uses
on the farm. There is no market
for the hides. Can you give me
home method for tanning the
hides?
We have had many requests for
information as to the best method of
tanning hides at home. The follow
ing Is a formula recommended by
responsible parties:
In preparing hides for tanning the
first process they are put through
Is what Is known as soaking and
fleshing. This Is done to soften
them and remove the salt, blood and
dirt. After the hides have been
thoroughly softened and cleaned they
must then be fleshed. This consists
in removing all fleshy and fatty mat
ter from the flesh side of the hide.
This can be done entirely by hand
with a sharp knife if one exercises
sufficient patience. On a CONNER
cial scale this work is now done by
machinery.
The next process is to put the hide
in a vat containing milk Of lime to
loosen the hair and epidermis. Hides
are then placed in what is known as
sweat pits or dark close rooms where
the air is stagnant. This finally
causes the hair to loosen so it can
be readily removed. Before hides
can be tanned they must be put in
a defining bath Of Tactic or other
weak acids. Hides are then picked
by padding them for about an hour
in a weak solution Of sulphuric acid
and salt.
