POSSIBLE LIFE ON PLANETS
Existence on Moon, Jupiter, Saturn,
Mercury, Uranus, Neptune, I'm.
probable, Scientists Say.

The possible existence Of life on the
planets has lately been discussed in Il
most interesting manner by American
astronomers. This Is summary of
the conclusions Of these scientists up
on the question. 1t Is considered that
the existence Of high form Of life
on the moon, Jupiter. Saturn .Mer.
curry, Uranus or Neptune Is extremely
improbable. Although Venus greatly
res esembles the earth, II Is generally be
lleVcd by astronomers that $the day
and The year Of the planet are Of equal
duration. In that case no life cNn
exist upon 1t. Concerning Mars, astron-
omers are not agreed as to whether
the much-dlscussed markings are ca
nails Or merely earthquake cracks.
There nre no permanent bodies Of wa
ter on the planet. The best that can
be said Is that, although the temporal
ture on Mars is very low, there may
be on the planet, to a limited extent,
the conditions essential to life; prob
ably only vegetable and w-order ami
nal life, but no beings Of intelligence.

Train Insects to Eat Insects.

An ingenious scheme for Kidding our
gardens Of insect pests has been sug-
gested by Richmond entomologist.
His plan Is to train harmless insects
to kill and eat Injurious grubs and
flies. Experiments which have been
made met with considerable success.
1t is well known that certain insects
are the enemies Of other creatures
which are garden pests. They lay
their eggs in convenient spots, often
in the actual nesting places Of their
enemies, and when the young come
to life they feed on the eggs. Scien-
lists are attempting to train these in
sects to feed upon harmful creatures
which at present they do not regard
as enemies.-London Tlt.Blts.

FORD MAKE OWN 'WINDSHIELDS.
Glass-NIaISing Latest Field Entered
by Industrial Wizard.

A dispatch from Detroit, Mich,
says:
Henry Ford has launched upon a
new enterprise-that OF gldss-mak-
ing.
Tho manufacturer has established
here, and has begun to operate, q
plant that will produce glass for au-
tomobile windshields 1t is said to
be the first plant in the country de-
signed especially for making wind
shields.
The Ford production slogan, Keep
things moving is playing large
part in the new meth hods introduced
by the manufacturer in his latest
field Of endeavor. A continuous con-
veyer system makes it possible FOR
the glass to be kept constantly NOV
ing from the time it leaves the fur
mace in liquid form until it becomes

The molten glass is drawn from
the furnace and passes under a roll
er that gives it width and thickness,
and then upon q moving conveyer
that carries 1T AGA feet through q

IN THE SOUTH SEA ISLANDS
Trader and Planter Not In Need Of

1t Is customary to waste a lot of
pity on the trader and the planter in

and, If he does stay he can retire af-

say $500. He purchases a plot Of

in the islands, will see him through

Fur Animals Increase Inv Kentucky.

South Carolina and Kentucky have
respectively 82.5 and 1873 per cent
OF their populations living in rural
districts. The othe9 States mentioned
have likewise the bulk of their pop
ulations located In the country dis
tricts.
There are, however, States which
show that an excess Of rural popu-
lation need not carry with It high
typhoid fevor death rate. Wisconsin
is a conspicuous example. This State,
with more than half Of its popula-
tion rural, had typhoid fever rate
Of 2.5 per 100000, which is identi-
cal with that Of Massachusetts, which
is almost all urban. Minnesota, Mon
tana, Nebraska and Oregon are other
conspicuous examples Of States With
large rural populations and low ty-
phoid fever mortality.

STRIKE LEADERS HAVE AGREED
To Accept, Though Reluctantly, tho
Presidents PROPOSAL.

Chicago, Aug. 2.-Full acceptance
OF the peace proposals submitted by
President Harding was voted to-
| night by leaders Of the striking rail-
way shopmen, who, however, gave
their own Interpretation Of each Of
the three suggestions.
We accept reluctantly, 1t Is true,
put commit ourselves to carry out
the terms Of settlement in utmost
good faith and in aid Of the general
welfare" said the message Of &C.
ceptance which was sent to presi.
dent Harding tonight. 'If these
proposals fail to bring about the re-
suits which you desire, tho respou-
sibility of failure will not rest upon
representatives Of the organized en-
ployees.
On the proposal to restore unim-
paired seniority rights to the strlk-
ers, which was rejected by railway
executives at meeting yesterday III
New York, the message declared:
WhoIesalc injustice"
ut would. certainly be whole
sale injustice Of unparalleled extent if
hundreds Of thousands Of experience
ed men, who have given four to forty
years Of service, and whose value to
the transportation industry Is pro-
portioned to the length Of their SER
vice, should be placed in position
Of inferiority to q limited number OF
men who have been employed as sub,
stitutes for these experienced rail-
road workers."
Replying to the Presidents sug-
gestion that railroads and workmen
agree to abide by decisions OF the
railroad labor board, the reply said
the shopmen had always taken tho
position that so long as they con-
tinue to render service, they should
abide by the rules and working con-
ditions and accept the wages agreed
upon by proper negotiations or de-
termined by the labor board after
a hearing of dispute.
Claim No Violation.
Violation of the law and refusal
to abide by decisions Of the board
have been exhibited only by the
railway managements," tho reply
said, and asserted that suspension Of
work under non-acceptable condi-
tions was not in violation of the
boards decisions
On the Presidents proposal that
law suits growing out OF the strike
be Withdrawn, and that railroad la
Dor board decisions to which eXcep~A
ton Is taken by either side may bo
taken to the board by other sido for

the understanding Of the union lead
ers that the labor board would givo
prompt rehearing and decision OF
questions in dispute, and that thero
would be no question as to "who ura
properly accredited spokesmen OF
the vast majority Of railway en-
ployees.''

ance Of the Presidents proposal, and
stated that his union would abide by
