Picric Acid Clears
$4,000 Mich. Acres

East Lansing, Nov. 10-Thirty
thousand acres of cleared land will
be added to Michigans total as a re-
suit of land clearing operations being
carried on this fall with Picric Acid
according to estimates of land clear
ing specialists at the Michigan Agri-
cultural College. In addition, it is
said that farmers Of the state have
saved $4,000 in the purchase of the
war salvaged explosive, which has
been distributed at about eleven cents
pound lower than the cost of dyna-
mite ordinarily used in land clearing
work.
1--WE received orders for nearly q
million pounds Of Picric Acid" says
A. j. McAdams, assistant land clear
ing specialist at NJ. A. c., although
the Michigan allotment was only
$4,000 pounds. The different state
allotments were based on their acre
age of cut-over land, and the Mich
igan total proved insufficient to meet
tho demand.
"Picric Acid is not ordinarily p
competitor Of dynamite for land
clearing purposes, as it actually costs
more to manufacture than dynamite.
This allotment was turned over by
the government at merely the cost of
cartridging, freight and distribution.
which made the price unusually low.
IT was intended originally for mill
tary purposes"
Michigan's allotment of the explo-
sive has been distributed by the ex-
tension division of the Michigan Ag-
ricultural College, through l.. f. Liv-
ingston, its land clearing specialist.
Twcnty-seven car loads were placed
in the state, thirteen in the Upper
Peninsula and fourteen in the north
ern counties of the lower peninsula.

ARTICLE 4 NOT
RETROACTIVE IS
COURT DECISION
(BS The Associated Press.l

Mexico City, Sept, 28 (by the AS
sociated Press. THE supreme
courts decision in the Texas COM
pany amparo case was officially
handed down ttaight 1t establish
es definitely the non n-retroactiveity
of article 27 of the constitution so
far as concerns property acquired
for oil exploration or exploitation
prior to going into effect of the
present constitution,
The court defines article 81 rs
non retroactive, asserting para
graph four Of article 81 cannot be
regarded as retroactive either ac-
cording TO the letter or the spirit,
The text says:
"It is shown that in conformity
with rules universally accepted for
the Interpretation of laws and with
those of sound logic 1t must be ad-
mitted that paragraph four of artl-
Gle 27 (referring to oiD of our con-
stitution is not retroactive and
does not affect pre-exlsting rights
legally acquired. This precept es-
tablishes the naturalization of pc
troleum, and its by-products, as
we'll as that of other substances to
which 1t refers, amplifying the
enumeration that existed in our
former laws"
Chief Justice Enrique Moreno,
in giving out the decision said:
"Today's decision is as specific
and far-reaching in matters relat-
ing to oil as a judicial tribunal can
render, and should establish the
principle of law upon which the
other amparo cases pending should
be adjudicated."
The other cases will be taken up
next month, the judge added.

Indianapolis, Sept. 26. --- De-
mands for a vote in the two Kan

in the convention of the United
Mine Workers were disregarded to-
day by Vice President Philip Muir

he would not permit the delegates

cision.
Frequent disorderly outbreaks in
which supporters of Alexander Ho-
wat, president of the Kansas min

marked the forenoon session, but
quiet prevailed this afternoon. In
terest apparently waned as debate
was protracted. and delegates ex-
pected to vote tomorrow. Except
for a speech by Mother Jones, 90
year-old organizer of the union. all
debate today was devoted to the
Kansas cases.
The worst outbreak of disorders
came shortly before the noon ad-
Jun iliheHt WHeH WIllldHl GTeell,

to speak for fifteen minutes.
Mother Jones urged the miners
to continue their fight. She as
serted all the trouble in West Vir-

"gun men employed by the opera
tors" and she asked the miners to
try to have congress enact legisla-
tion that would drive out the pri-

In addition to resolutions inter-

skill? That remains to be seen.
Ruth is in good physical condition,
of course. His arm, no doubt, is
In good shape as far as throwing
is concerned. But whether or not
it is in shape to stand the rigors
OF nine innings Of pitching, with
the accompanying strain, is un-
known. Then, too. there is the
matter of getting them over.
Ruth, however, has voluntarily
worked out in the bull pen during
the last couple OF weeks. and Il
may be that he feels and is in
shape TO enter the box at least for
relief duty.
Should he essay to hurl for an
entire game in a crisis and go
through with it he will write an
other thrilling chapter to a great
career.
To break his own worlds home

to the championship would be a
wonderful thing.
