I Glover, Dec, 22--By logical argument
the debating team OF the Pressly Lit
eraty society OF Clover High school
convinced the judges Tuesday night,
December 20 that It would be unwise
for the United States government TO
grant to the World war veterans adj
justed compensation. Representatives
Of the Calhoun Literary society upheld
the affirmative side Of the question
with the four Representatives Of the
Pressly contending for the negative.
The winning side proved to the sat-
isfaction OF the judges that the condi-
ton of the national treasury would
not warrant the paying out OF billions
in the form of adjusted compensation
at this time because OF the fact that
the national debt was already $25.o0o.-

would further encourage idleness and
vice and crime; that such step wouid
tend toward imitation of currency and

Details to Decide.
They had many questions TO decide
before the matter was finally settled.
They had to agree whether or not the
entire rent was to be settled in terms
of corn, or whether other crops should
have share. They decided the mat
ter of the quality of the corn that Mr..
Kashrent was to bring his landlord,
and where 1t was to be delivered
There was question as to whether or
not a date should be established on
which the tenant must declare his op-
tion-cash or corn-and whether or
not the landlord should have similar
choice. Perhaps they had TO recast
the whole lease to agree 10 the new
terms of payment and without ref
erence to the cash at ali, but in the
end they had a contract which gave
justice and protection to both parties

addition, Mr.. Kashrent has a landlord
whom he respects and Mr.. Acreowner

themselves facing a similar problem

ment of Agriculture, to aid them in

Mr.. Polk added that he will be pa

Barcelona Engineer Claims His
Machine viii Rise Vertically
From the Ground.
CAN DIP IN ANY DIRECTION
French Government 10 Interested In
Invention and VIII Send Technical
Commission to Barcelona to
Witness the Trials.

London.-Paris, according to the
London Daily Telegraph correspond
ent, Is talking about new flying ma
chine and the romantic story of its
invention.
the inventor, NJ. Pateras-Pescnra, "A
Barcelona engineer, made his discov-
cry In the Sante prison at two o'clock
In the morning. II is claimed for this
new flying vehicle, In which the
French government is Interested, for
1t will send technical mission to Bar
celona to witness the trials, that pas
sengers can descend from the air with
the same comfort as though they were
sitting in armchairs.
How 1t Works.
The invention consists of an axle
fixed to n motor which is placed in
the vehicle. The axle sets In motion
sets of propellers, one set turning one
way, one another. The vehicle rises
vertically from the ground; 1t can dip
In every direction, remain immobile In
space, and decend like an airplane
with engine stopped.
NJ. Pateras-Pescara, n nationalized
Argentine, who married an Austrian
princess, had to leave Italy when that
country entered the war. He came
to France, where he was employed In
the ministry of inventions. In 1916
he was at work on bombing machine
which was intended t. fly between
Paris and Berlin with a cargo of ex-
plosives at speed of 100 miles an
hour. He Ind had trouble with the
diplomatists and was watched by the
international police.
Arrested, he was taken to the Sautc
prison, and It was In his cell on De-
cember IS, 1916, that he solved the
problem of the ''helicoptere." The ex-
pulsion proceedings against him were
dropped, and after his release he ap-
piled himself to his invention.
Proves Successful.
In August. 1919, a mission from the
French air department went to Bar
celona to witness the trials of his
parachute "helicoptere," and as re-
suit of its report contract was
signed with the inventor. Compelled
TO reside outside France, NJ. Pescara
built n definite model of his machine
at Barcelona. II was tried recently.

CURE DEFECTS IN TOMATOES
Black Spots May Be Prevented by
Treating Seed in Solution Of
Corrosive SubIimate.

1t is claimed that black spots in to-
matoes may be prevented to a con-
siderable extent by treating the seeds
with corrosive sublimate solution.
One-twentieth Of an ounce of corro-
sive sublimate is dissolved in gallon
of water. The tomato seed is placed
in little bag and soaked In this so
luton for five minutes and then
washed In running water for ten min
utes, and then the seed Is spread out
to dry. In using corrosive sublimate
be sure to put the solution in a wood
en- or earthenware contsiner; cor
rosive sublimate attacks metal.

and 1t Is said that the propeilers
worked admirably.
With reference to this claim of the
Barcelona inventor. II may be pointed
out that there Is nothing whatever
new about the idea of "helicoptere,"
1. e.. a machine capable of rising from
the ground by the action of horizon
tnlly-placed propellers. The plan. in
fact, is one Of the Oldest in the history
of aeronautical theory and expert
ment. and has been put forward more
than once during the past quarter OF
century. Whether NJ. Pescara has
succeeded in surmounting the difficult
ties heretofore encountered remains
to be seen.
