ss FIRES IN NIGHT IN HAUNTED

The isolated farming community OF
AutigOniah, In Northeastern Nova SEQ

mysterious fires followed one another
in strange procession during one night.
On several other nights more fires
occurred, starting in walls, under caves
and in furniture. Neighbors and in
one instance police detective hearing
the stories the aged farmer Alexander
Macdonald, his wife and their adopted
daughter, Mary Allen, recounted Of
their adventures with the nocturnal

So intense il the interest that re-

proof that the battling manifestations
are not Of supernatural origin. The

Years, became so terrified that they

The Committee held n meeting and
conference with special committee of
the Gamers of Maryland ut the Rem.
merit Hotel, March Sth, 1922.
4 general discussion of the tomato
industry was taken up by representa-
tive of the growers and Gamers. II
was pointed out that the present de
mund for future tomatoes was not es-
pecially good, considering the short
pack of last year Some contract flu
lures were being made ut 10 to Sbc per
dozen, No. Cans. II was hoped that
the advertisement through Canned
Goods Week" and other means would
increase the public demand for canned
goods and especially tomatoes.
The urgent need of Gamers and
growers cooperating to improve the
quality and standards of Maiyland's
pack was emphasized.
Urges Contract System

oughly the contract system versus

ALKALI OR ACID IN SHOE POLISH
HARMFUL. TO LEATHER

ptliSheS that contain free acid or
alkali are likely to injure leather. This
is enc of the conclusions from tests
made by the Bureau of Chemistry. A
polish of the emulsion type containing
vamp of shoes where the leather is
subjected to frequent bending. Many
Of the liquid cleaners often put up in
combination with paste poishes for
use on light colored shoes, contain on
allie acid, which is likely to injurc
leather.
In the absence of watcr-soluble dye
IN the polish. free acid or alkali can be
detected by stirring up some of the
polish with warm rain water and test
ing the clear water after settling, with
red and blue litmus paper. A change
from red to blue indicates free alkali,
while change from blue to red indi-
Gates free acid. In the presence of
watcr-solublc dye, free acid and alkali
can he detected only by chemical analy-
sis.
There is II general belief that tur-
pentine in shoe poliShcs is injurious to
leather. hut the tests did not bring out
any injury that could he ascribcd to it.
The turpcntinc sometimes becomes
rancid, acquiring II sharp, disagrccablc
odor and causing the polish to become
gummy and unsatisfactory to use, but
the quality of the leather does not
seem to he affected.
Various other constituents are used
in the manufacture of shoe polishcs.
Most modern poishcs for leather con
sist &c mixtures of wakes colorcd with
dyes and softcncd to Il pasty consis,
