U. s. Leads As World Power.
 Says Dr. Read

Washington, D. C., April 6-The United States is literally the most powerful country in the world, ac- cording to a statement made by Dr. Thomas T. Read of the Federal Bureau of Mines, before the School of Foreign Service of Georgetown Univ ersity.
 '.The real basis of power of a nation is it's energy resources, rather than it's mon-power strength said Dr. Read. 'The modern way to use the energy of a man is to employ it in a way similar to the little detOnatOr of the big explosive shell; the little an amount of work far in excess of it's own capacity. The energy output of an average workman is about tenth of a horsepower. The energy expended by a coal miner in an B. hour day thus amounts to about that available from pounds of coal A Japanese miners, who gets out 1,400 pounds of coal a day, thus multiplies like planting one grain of wheat and having TOO grow from it. The Ameri- can miner gets out $500 pounds of coal in a day and so multipIieS his lion wage earners in the United States and their energy output is little over 4 million horsepower, or only 9 times the potential energy output in
  power minerals, coal, petroleum, and water-power, are therefore, the real sources of strength in an industrial civilization
 No other country has as much as one-fftieth part of the total energy resources as the United States, and it is quite evident that many parts of the globe never can support an in dustriaI civilization of any magni- Jude, for they simply have not the re- sources of energy.
 Countries differ greatly in the de- gree to which they have developed their resources. The United States had resources before 1492 even great unused. China is in somewhat the same posiiona today as the United States was 400 years ago. Japan, on the other hand, is an example of country that has developed it's very limited resources to a large extent Japan's energy resources are less than one fve-hundredth part of those of the United States and therefore the Japanese cannot afford to use their energy for rough uses that require large quantities such in breaking stones. Weaving silk or decorating porcelain requires but little energy in finished product, and the natural de- velopment of the Japanese people will be toward industries that require a high degree of skill and relatively lit tie energy"

31 Members Of Congress Are
 Service Men

Washington, D. c. April 6.-How many veterans of the war will be sent to Congress at the November elections is question upon which there is much speculation in Congressional circles A canvass by the American Legion shows that at present 31 members of the House are ex-Serv1ce men, and two senatorS---Newberry (Michigan) i, and Elkins (W. Virginia).
 With the entire membership of the House to be elected in November, it is generally conceded here that, when votes are counted, it will be found that the number of ex-service men in that body has been materially increased. The outcome in the Senate, where third of the seats are at stake, is en- tirely problemaucal
 Twenty-one states are represented by ex-service men in Congress New York leads with four members, Mass achusetts and Tennessee following with three each The complete list is as follows:
 Alabama-Lamar Jeffers: Arizona Carl Hayden; CaHfornia-WaIter F. Lineburger. Phil D. Swing; Maryland John Philip Hill; Massachusetts, Lewis A. Buckingham, T. P Andrew, John Jacob Roger; Michigan-Roy Rankin; Missouri-HarTy B. Hawes; Monta J. Mccormack; Nevada-Samuea s. Arentz; New Jer- sey-Archibald- OIpp; New York

by displacing oxygen from it's com bination with homoglobin, the color ing matter of the blood which nor mally absorbs oxygen from the air in the lungs and delivers it to the different tissues of the body.
 Oxygen will replace carbon monox- ide in combination with homoglobin whenever the proportion of oxygen in the lungs is overwhelmingly great CT. Therefore:
 1. Administer oxygen as quickly as possible, and in as pure form as is obtainable, preferably from a cylinder Of oxygen through an inhaler mask.
 2. Remove patient from atmo phere containing carbon mon oxide.
 3. If breathing is feeble, at once start artificial respiration by the prone posture method.
 4. Keep the victim flat, quiet and warm.

DISCARDED TIRES ARE
 USED TO MAKE SHOES

Los Angeles, Cal. April 6-The fate of worn-ouJ automobile tires at least those of Los Angeles-has been found.
 After serving their purpose here the old tires are sent to the west coast of Mexico and made into shoes.
 And making sheOs from the dis carded "cords" and fabrics is sim pie. The old tires are cut into lengths, both ends sewed up at the toes. strip tackled on for a heel and they have as weara ble a shoe as ever was made, it is claimed.
 To make such a shoe costs only from fifty to seventy-five cents . The business of this new trade is amazing. Sam L. Kreider, steamship agent, is the authority for the state ment that the last shipment of old tires from here to the west coast of Mexico totalled 200 tons, and more consignments will go soon.

Poisoning From
 Exhaust Gases

Carbon monoxide poisoning is one of the most widely distributed and most frequent of industrial accidents, says the U. S. Public Health Service. The gas is without color, odor, or taste. It is an ever-present danger about blast and coke furnaces and foundries. It may be found in building having a 1eaky furnace or chimney or gas stove without fue connection, such as a tenement. tailor shop, or boarding house The ex- haust gases of gasoline automobiles contain from to 12 per cent. of carbon monoxide, and in closed gar ages men are not infrequently found dead beside running motor. A similar danger may arise from gaso- .ine engines in launches. The gas is formed also in -stoke-roon1s, in gun turrets and brick plants In under ground work it may appear as the re- suit of shot firing, mine explosions, Or mine fires, or in tunnels from au- tomobile exhausts or from coal or oil brning locomotives
 Carbon monoxide exerts it's ex-l tremely dangerous action on the body

VILLAGE COP IS BEATEN
 ROBBED AND LOCKED UP

Buckner, ILL, April 6.-If you are among the unfortunate unemployed go to Buckner. There is a job for a good man on the Buckner police force.
 However, do not rush. First listen to what happened to one Thomas Specs, a native of Marion.
 Specs took a job on the night force and the third night was attacked by four men and women. who deprived him of the following property: One gun. one bright police star, one set of rusty jail keys, one knife, one pair of scissors, S2-30 in legal tender and six two-cent postage stamps.
 They kicked and beat the officer and then took him to jail, where they locked him in
 This reign of 1awlessness was due to aroused suspicion among the na- tives of the vicinity that Specs was either a detective or a prohibition of fcer in disguise

ANNUL FOX TROTs IN
 CHURCH AFTER FEAST

Paris. April = Since a Spanish play. produced at the Opera Comique, depicted dancing in churches PAri- sians believe that dancing in such es- tabhshments in Spain is quite fash ionab1e, only they themselves would be against such attractions in France
 Nevertheless there exists a church in France where one day in the year Saint Marcel's Day-dancine is aI- lowed in the village church. At Bar jols, in the Var Department, they kill the fatted calf and cook it in the church and eat 1t there. After the meal the choir makes way for a local orchestra, whEh hits up the HyeIiesy fox trots and shi1nmies, and couples gaily wtirl around a floor shorn of it's pews and chairs.
