Up to the Neck.

A bachelor who is forever putting
his foot in it recently visited the proud
parents of a new boy.
The mother held up the bundle for
inspection for the bachelor and asked
gaily: Tell us now, frankly, which
of us do you think he is like?"
After a careful examination of the
baby the bachelor replied: well, of
course, it isn't very intelligent looking
yet, but he's wonderfully like both of
you."-Exchange.

tons of coal were used.
Because of the enormous demands
for war materials modern by-product
ovens were constructed and in 1919
more than 81 per cent of our coke sup
ply came from these ovens. 1t is esti-
mated that for every ton of coke made
in modern by-product ovens there is
saved in fuel alone 825 pounds of coal.
When a householder burns a ton of
coal he has sacrificed something like
1000 cubic feet of gas, nine gallons of
tar, twenty-five pounds OF ammonium
sulphate, 2.0S gallons of pure benzol
and 0.56 gallons of pure toluol.
In our industrial life the use of coal
derivatives is just beginning to be felt.
The rubber industry depends upon
these products for solvents. COM
pounding ingredients and softeners.
Practically all types OF paint now use
a derivative of coal. Printing inks,
shoe polishes, brake Innings, dry clean
ers, perfumes, explosives, linoleums,
CLUES, pastes and Photographic de-
velopers, contain coal products as
basic ingredients. The paper industry,
the soap business, and the shoe manu-
facturer would be in serious difficulties
without the ~by-products of coal tar.
The electrical industry would lose its
chief source of insulating material and
the doctors and druggists would be
without a sufficient supply OF phenol
to make their supply of everyday
drugs.
Coal tar. the refuse Of ancient vege-
table kingdoms, is valuable because it
produces a galaxy Of brilliant colors,
not so much for the colors themselves
but because in producing them so
many intermediates are developed that
are OF inestimable worth to the indus
trial life Of tn nation.

A Feasible Plan
THE American valuation plan, In
my judgment, Is absolutely possible

THE idea thai 1t is impossible to

There is one more thing to be kept
in mind. The only way to take care
of deprecated currency at the present
time and to make the manufacturer
safe and able to carry on his business
under deprecated currency, Is to put
aside the need for the manufacturer
to wonder in what currency the duty
will be assessed on the goods with
which he has to compete. n wonder
one day what it is going to be the next.
He must have 1t fixed or the one

In the dim ages of history when man
first felt the desire for beauty, traders
searched the world for .dyestuffs, jew
els, perfumes, spices and precious
woods. The risk of these voyages was
great and only princes or mobiles could
afford the fruits of ventures to the far
corners of the world. No mar of
humble origin could aspire to the rich
crimsoned linen, the Royal Purple OF
ancient Tyre, retailing at 5000 a pound.
Royal Purple is an age-old insignia
of aristocracy. This dye was secreted
by a small shellhsh on the Eastern
coast of the Mediterranean and here
the enterprising merchants of Tyre
formed a dye monopoly equaled only
by the German Cartel.
A bit of the whitish liquid secreted by
this mollusk, if spread upon a cloth
and exposed to the air and sunlight
turns first green, next blue and then
purple. If washed with an alkali soap
it becomes the magnificent Crimson
worn by the Cardinals and Princes OF
the Catholic Church. Tyrian purple
vanished from the marts of the world
with the fall of Tyre.
Synthetic chemistry learned the Sc
cret Of making Royal Purple as, in
deed, it learned to manufacture indigo,
the same deep blue hat may be seen
today in museums, the winding sheets
of Egyptian mumfnies. 1t was an
achievement to snatch its distinctive
color from royalty and to rival the
best vegetable indigo of the an
clients but modern chemistry has
gone far beyond that. Today any kind
of dye found in nature can be made i'll
the laboratory. Indeed, among the 9OC
shades and colors being manufacturer
there are tints that it would be diff
cult to discern in the rainbow.

actual possessor of the property can
prove that his title was obtained in
conformity with the law of June %,
1896, aud when it can be shown that
the lands asked for by the townsmen
do not exceed 80 hectares in area
12372 acres) and have been posses

Stockholm in Center
Of Red Propaganda
Outside of Russia

Stockholm April 1s.-(By The As
sociated Press. This city has become
the most important center of bolshevist
propaganda outside Russia, according
to several leading newspapers, which
reflect the INDICATION and alarm mani
tested in many Swedish quarters over
what is termed the tolerant attitude
of the present socialist cabinet toward
bolshevist penetration.
Soviet delegations occupy commodi-
GUS apartments in the most fashionable
quarters Of the city, says the Svenska
Dagbladet, describing the situation. 1t
is here that the s.red threads connec-
ting Russia unite, the newspaper adds,
explaining that bolshevfst travelling
agents are constantly going and coming
from Moscow.
Anti -bolshevists express the fear
that red propaganda will be given a sti1l
firmer hold on Sweden through the
signing Of the commercial treaty be-
tween soviet Russia and Sweden.

NOian's Irish Accent Brings Laugh
A bit of humor was injected into the
proceedings when the witness, in reply
to question by Colonel Nolan, replied:
You talk SO funny, I can't under
stand you.'
Colonel Nolan is noted for a pro-
nounced Irish accent and the witness
is foreigner who speaks English halt
to rap sharply for order before the
laughter subsidized.
Isaac Cohen, serving term for OBJ
tanning money under false pretenses
and who said he expected to obtain his
parole on May !, was recalled by the
state to tell Of the disposition of hay
from the Aylsworth ranch. He had
previously testified as to the Walton
ranch. He has also been ''trusty."
State Had Only Dog to Feed
The witness said he had spent much
of his time hauling hay and grain from
the state-leased ranches to stock
owned by Conley & McTague. He said
the firm owned 81 head of horses and
mules and that no animals, except a
dog, were owned by the state prison.
Colonel Nolan pressed the witness as
" tHc CAdCt VI nay
Cohen said he measured the stacks.
1--WE got to arguing about the hay
on the Aylsworth ranch," he testified.
"Some Of the men at the prison made
a few bets and four Of us drove out to
the ranch and measured the stacks
The stacks were 125 feet long, "a feet
wide and about 16 or IS feet high"
State Doubts Number of Horses
Unlike preceding days of the trial.
there was no argument Tuesday morn
ing between attorneys on legal tech
nical points. The zentire proceedings
were devotedato examination and cross
examination of witnesses.
Cohen concluded his testimony by
stating that about 10 tons Of hay 8
month we're hauled to the Conley &
McTague horse barn. Ten head Of
horses, he testified, were kept in this
barn.
Attorney General Rankin sought to
question the witness as to whether he
was not mistaken regarding the num-
her of horses in the barn. Judge A. j.
Horsky, presiding. would not permit
this line of Interrogation.

The Mother Of Medicine"

Isis, the Queen and afterwards the
Goddess, was called the Mother of
Medicine" In ancient Egypt, centuries
before Christ, women were skilled in
medicine. They knew the great value
of medicinal plants.
Hippocrates, the Father Of Medi-
cine.' many centuries later, knew less
Of the merit Of vegetable drugs than
did the women of ancient times.
Lydia r. Pinkham, nearly fifty years
ago, gave to women her Vegetable
Compound, now known everywhere as
Ldyia e. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound. This is woman's medicine
for womans ailments, prepared from
medicinal plants.

Prison Reports Omitted

6IlSUU t1tpVi 10 OUlkkCu
The question of whether the state
had erred in not requesting an account
ing Of Conley before filing its suit, was
brought before the court by Colonel
Nolan in objecting to the testimony of
Clifford r. Walker, deputy secretary
OIL state, as to the reports made by the
prison official while he was warden.
The attorney general contended the
law required regular reports from all
state officials and that these reports
had not been made by Conley.
Judge Horsky said he would rule
later on the objection Of the defense
and suggested that the examination Of
the witness proceed. The state then
asked Walker as to the reports on file
in the office of the secretary of state.
The witness replied there were only
two reports from Conley since 1909.
Copies of these reports were placed in
the court record.
Colonel Nolan on cross examination
sought to bring out that virtually none
of the state institutions filed reports.
Walker did not know how many of the
institutions filed reports, but he was
certain some Of them had.
