cent states in Transeaucasian Russia,
Captain Ernest A. Yarrow, relief di.
rector for those areas, cabled Mary
land headquarters, near East Relief,
today. He urged the immediate ship
ment of motor and horse tractors Of
all descriptions for use on 10000
acres of land, that have been turned
over by the local governments to
American relief workers, to cultivate
by using the labor Of those whom
American charity is aiding.
Following this plan Of constructive
relief in the Near East, word has been
received by the Near East Relief once
in New York that the National
Grange, in session in Portland, Ora,
had offered to send tractor to tho
Armenian farmers through the relief
organization. Offers of other agricul.
tural implements, which are badly
needed throughout the Near East,
have also been received from Other
sources.

Hundreds Of cases OF prunes, raisins,
corn.beef, salmon, soup, condensed

sent. Sacks Of sugar, -four, beans,
seed wheat and seed corn helped to
swell the cargo.
The need was only partly met. The
appeal Is now spreading throughout
the State. Hagerstown and Freder-
ick have used the public schools as
did Baltimore for collecting points.
Every school child was asked to bring
on certain day some of the de-
sired articles.
The Boy Scouts collected the ma.
terials and put them In packing

In Kent County through the efforts
OF Mrs. Evelyn Harris certain gar.
ages and stores were used as COL

all sorts of clothing and shoes, gar

were gathered together by Gladdens

be included in the ship-load.

First Stage in Stars Birth.

The vast black mass, 2O,OOO,OOO
times larger than the sun, demon
strated to exist in the heavens by the
Dutch scientist, DR.. Pannekoek, seems
to upset all earlier astronomical cal
culations. 1t is, comparatively speak
ing. so near us that DR.. Pennekoek
suggests that the sun itself must move
around it once in 100000 years
drawing the earth with It, "We be-
lieve that the black body must con-
sist of dust, and that this Is the first
stage in the birth of star" said an
expert. "As 1t condenses 1t gets hot
ter until It becomes luminous and
visible Sudden flares or new stars
have been seen in our lifetime, but
the black cloud Of dust appears to be
the real beginning. The amazing fea-
ture Is the nearness Of the body. 1t
Is relatively as close to the earth as
a foot rule would appear to be If only
two feet away from your eyes. 1t Is
quite possible that even vaster bodies
of this kind exist" The nearness Is
relative. The body is 2S0,000, ,OOO, ,OOO,-

IF THAT NAIL HAD BUT HELD!
Good Story Explains Why His Satanic
Majesty Can Not Endure Sight
of Horseshoe.

Tradition has not designated the
manner of hanging the horseshoe; 1t
mas no such influence in this respect
as the crescent moon Is supposed to
have upon rainfall, by pouring out or
retaining luck. The superstition is Of
the vintage of mortality plays in Mer-
rie England, and Is part of the folk
ore of the farm In feudal times; the
horseshoe frightens the devil away.
The story runs that the devil, driven
out of the fertile country into the
rocky hills by the good people, found
one hOof worn to the quick by the
sharp stones. Limping in pain to
village smithy, he terrorizes the smith
at night into fitting him with an iron
shoe. The canny smith in friendly
chat finds his customer much the same
as the general run of the peasantry.
Emboldened by the roaring of his forge
fire and the ring Of his hammer on the
anvil, he drives all the nails but one
In the usual manner, clinching them
in the hoof then, asking his confiding
client to put his hoof on the floor that
he may judge the fit, with a mighty
blow he drives the last nail right
through the shoe deep into the oaken
floor.
Leaving the raging devil prisoner,
he goes to summon the villagers to
dispatch him. This strategy did not
succeed for the terror-stricken devil
In his struggles wrenched off the shoe
and with bleeding hoof in great pain
escaped to continue his evil practices.
But to this day whenever he sees
horseshoe hung up he fees the place
In shame and fright.

tons OF coal were used.
Because of the enormous demands
for war materials modern by-product
ovens were constructed and in l9l9
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 house holder burns ton of
coal he has sacrificed something like
1900 cubic feet of gas, nine gallons OF
tar, twenty-five pounds Of ammonium
sulphate, 2.08 gallons of pure benzol
and 056 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 polishcs, 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 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 the nation.
