pion, was way in the lead until he
was put out of commission through a
fractured collar-bone. Then Victor
Linart, Belgian title. holder and holder

nbled the American to overcome, the
Belgian's score, and now Clarence is in
front with a total Of 50 points.
Linart is in the runner-up position
with 80, Jules MIGUEL, the French
speeder, is in third place, four points
behind, while Maddona follows, ten
noints behind the invader from La Belle

pair Of Americans, the latter being a
Phi'adelphian, are next in line, with 83
and GO points, respectively.
Although Carman Is leading Linart
in the matter Of points scored, the latter
has a better record for victories, ten

MILLER CONDEMNS
MAKESHIFT FUSES

Warning against the use of make
shift fuses for electric light lines in
side houses, was issued by Fire Chief
Miller Monday. The practice of sub
stituting various devices to bridge
over the gap where the fuse had been
blown out, was strongly condemned by
him.
Il cannot too strongly appeal to
people to realize the danger OF utiliz-
ing copper coins or other devices to
bridge blowout fuses so that the cir
cult will continue to function" said
the chief Monday. Such a practice
is, of course, equivalent to tying down
or sealing the safety-valve of a steam
boiler, since the fuse acts as the safe
ty valve on an electric circuit and
gives warning of trouble. When non
fusible matter is introduced the pro-
lection no longer exists, and the wires
are then likely to become overheated
If the overlooking of the circuit con
tinues. Ignition of the insulation and
of any woodwork with which it is in
contact may then follow
There is only one thing to do when
fuse blows-out and that is to replace
it with another, always making sure
that the renewed fuse is of the proper
amperage. 1t is the part of wisdom
for householders, whose property is
wired for electricity, to keep on hand
a supply of extra fuses. They are not
expensive.

can be mixed by manufacturers. It's
greatest value is on soils deficient in
organic matter, and which require
some ammonia and potash to help
give the wheat a good start before
winter sets in. There is reason to
believe that this mixture can be used
with profit at present prices of fertil-
izers and of wheat.
THE chief advantages of 1928 mix
ture are those named in respect to the
212-2. with the additional advantage
of little more ammonia and potash.
1.-THE 2-16-2 mixture doubles the for
mula of the once popular 1871, which
was of too low an analysis to be eco
nomical. For the same mixing, bag
ging and freight charges, and with
the same amount of labor, farmers
who use this 2-162 will get on to
their land, just twice as much actual
fertilizing material as was the case
with the ISL"

INDUSTRY TO IGNORE
STEP TAKEN BY FORD
tBy United Press)

NEW YORK, Aug. 2S-Industry in
general does not plan to follow the
lead of Henry Ford in closing down
plonts because Of the coal shortage
and prevailing high prices of fuel, a
survey made by the United Press
showed today Some plants, however,
have already curtailed operations or
plan to do so soon.
The packing plants, largest industry
of Chicago report that they are operat-
ing so per cent on oil and 10 per cent
on coal. The manager of Armour &,
Company said that in case of total
lack of coal he could operate the
plant entirely with oil. This same
condition, he stated, applies TO other
packers.
No Handicap Felt
There has been a slight curtailment
of subway service in New York, but
industry is not suffering much, owing
to the influx of imported English coal
Industrial leaders at both Cincin
natl and Indianapolis claim they have
sufficient coal supplies on hand tc
guarantee operation. The large manu-
featuring plants in Milwaukee includ
ing the Palm Olive Soap company and
the Allis Chalmers Motor company
see no immediate prospect OF a shut
down or curtailment.
From Harrisburg, Pa, comes the re
port that the steel industry there is
curtailed not only because of the Goa
4 shortage but also due to the railroad
strike.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Aug. 2S.-Pure
bred seed wheat of improved varieties
is gaining in favor in Ohio, judging
from reports reaching the Ohio Farm
Bureau Federation from number of
sections of the state. The efforts of
the farmers through their organiza-
lions are being supplemented by mill
ers who are interested in an increased
area of improved wheat in their ter
ritories because it is better milling
quality
Six millers and a number of farm
bureau leaders in Athens county met
recently and arranged for bringing
three carloads of improved Trumbull
wheat into the county. They report
that they are being forced to bring
in most of the seed wheat for this
fall, because of an unsatisfactory crop
this year. They are taking advantage
of the emergency to work toward
standardization on the better yielding
and milling wheats.
Two mills in Ashtabula county are
acting as the distributing agencies for
$4,000, bushels of Trumbull seed
wheat, which was recently purchased
from the growers in Delaware county.
FertillZer FORMULAS
Explanation of how scientists at
Ohio State University and the Ohio
Experiment Station at Wooster arriv-
ed at agreement on the standard
five fertilizer formulas, which these
workers have recommended as suffi-
cient to the needs of fall wheat all
over Ohio, is given in a pamphlet to
be issued Sept. l, from the depart.
! Tat
Firman E. Bear, professor of soils
writes the pamphlet, which is that OF
series on soil topics, issued monthly
by his department. He first lists the
recommended five fertilizers: straight
acid phosphate, 1f per cent or better;
0-12-4; 2-12-2; 1923; and 2-16-2. In
figure represents the percent of phos.
phoric acid in the mixture, and the
first and third, respectively, the per
cent of ammonia and potash.
! at is recognized generally thai
phosphoric acid is the most important
single ingredient in the wheat fertil
izer," Prof Bear remarks. Nearly
half of the farmers in Ohio confint
their fertilizer purchases to 16 pei
cent acid phosphate.
"Other farmers are confident thai
they secure the best results from {
phosphate potash mixture. Still 9th
ers prefer a mixed fertilizer.
No One Preferred
"Still others prefer mixed fertil
izer It is not the intention in pre-
senting this list of fertilizers to argue
i in favor of any one as against any o
the others. Our only belief is that j
should be possible to select any one

CHICAGO, Aug. 2S.-Sovietism rep
resented by supporters of the Russian
radical regime was under further in
vestigation today by police representa-
tives and special agents of the Michi-
gan Central railroad, who are holding
four men in connection with the wreck
of an express train at Gary, Ind, Aug.
20 One of the men according to the
investigators admitted that spikes
were withdrawn from the ties to cause
the wreck.
Railroad union officials discredited
reports that two of the men held are
minor officials of railway shopmen
unions now on strike. Although re-
fusing to be quoted, union officials as
serted they believed. there was no
truth in the reports.
Back of the arrests was declared to
be desire on the part of one man to
obtain the reward of $4,000 offered by
the railroad for information that would
lead to the apprehension of persons
responsible for the wreck.

PARIS, Aug. 28.-Members of the
Allied reparations commission will
spend the next three days in an eff
fort to reach some form of compro-
mise which would avoid a direct vote
on the question of a moratorium to
Germany, it was forecast today. The
idea is to leave in suspense a general
reparations settlement, if possible
until the projected allied conference is
held in November.
Four or five plans to this end have
been laid before the members of the
commission and the hope was still ex
pressed today that some temporary
solution might be found by Wednes
day, when DR.. Fischer and Herr Berg
man, the German delegates, are to be
given an opportunity for a final pre-
sentation of the German case.

METHODlSTS PREPARE
TO DONATE ONE-TENTH
FOR RELIEF OF WORLD
fBv Associated PressI

CHICAGO, Aug 2S.-An appeal to
all Methodists to donate tenth OF
their income to meet the crisis caused
by the forces which were declared to
threaten civilization is made by the
board of bishops of the Methodist
Eiscopal church in an open letter TO
the ministry and membership.
The funds. it is explained, would be
used by the Methodist Centenary
Movement The appeal says the de
mand is urgent and that "the destiny
of the world hinges upon Christianity.
| The destiny of Christianity hinges
| largely upon Professionalism. The
destiny of Protestism will be largely
| influenced by Methodisms failure or
success at this time"

follows:
Our world is summoned to meet
the issue of its moral destiny. The
crisis this hour transcends immeasur
ably the military crisis of the period
of the war.
Must Combat Evil
Then men feared those who had
power to kill the body; now men
stand awed and fearsome in the pres
ence of forces which threaten to cast
civilization body and soul into hell
Humanity must make a new start
This time il must build upon the di-
vine principles of justice and good
will. 1t was a vision glorious The
Church caught It and accepted the
challenge. with what seemed a divine
passion.
Just as the movement had attract
ed the attention of the world, alas the

ened in its enthusiasm. Now it is even
suggested that the word centenary
