GAMBLE ON WARSHlpS
Scrapping of Old Battleships Appears
 to be Much of Speculation-Re-
 suits Awaited With Interest.

Philadelphia, Jan. 10.-Scrapping battleships is a gamble commercial ly, according to an official of the Hen ry A. Hitners Sons Co.,, of Philadel. phia, which this week was awarded battleships sold by the Navy depart ment.
 ''In the first place." the official said it must be remembered that no bat tleship has ever been scrapped in this country. But it will show what the possibilities are in the country's new industry--ship scrapping.
 The ships purchased by the local firm included three battleships, the Maine, Missouri and Wisconsin, built about 1900. They were appraised by the government at $10O,000 junk value and were bought for less than half that figure. At the time of con struction, according to officials of the Philadelphia navy yard they cost in excess of s3,Ooo.ooo each.
 The first process in the scrapping, according to the officials, will be re- noval of the armour plates ranging in thickness from four to 13 inches. This, the official said, can probably be sold to automobile manufacturers. The machinery, piping. tubes and all non-ferros metals, much of which is brass and copper, will be melted down. The once mighty guns will be cut into short lengths and sent to foundries. according to this official, "the beating of swords into plough shares will be put under way

RICH FURNISHINGS

Russian Wealthy Class Trading Their Possessions For FoOdstuffs-
 Strange Sights Seen

kursk. Russia, Jan. 9.-Trappings of civilization are finding strange uses in the peasant huts of Russia City folks who have fled to rural districts in search of bread and peace have frequently been compelled to trade their belongings to the peasants fo1 food and have found customers in Ivan Ivanovich and his family, who like the glitter and gloss of the fix ings of gentiity. Frequently, how ever, they have little idea how to use the articles which come to them in exchange for milk and flour.
 An American who recently visited a village near this city saw a magni- fcent concert grand piano in a one room hut which sheltered a peasant family of six. The familys cooking utensils were stacked on top of tho piano and small pig was tied to one of its legs.
 Under the ikon which hung in 2 corner the visitor saw a number o1 glittering objects which upon closer inspection proved to be the silver f1t- tings from a mans toilet case. The handsome Russia leather case from which the toilet articles had been taken was lying on the floor filled with COW feed

BULLET IN HIS BRAIN
Removal of Slug Is Expected to Clear
 Up Mind of Troublesome Convict at
 Joliet Prison.

Chicago, Jan. 19.-Results of an operation performed to remove a bull let from the brain of Benjamin Buck ner, serving a life term in the Joliet state penitentiary for murder, which transformed him from a bad man" to model prisoner, will be put be- fore the state board of paroles and pardons in an effort to obtain his re- lease, it became known here today.
 Buckner was sentenced in 1905. Upon his arrival at the prison he be- gan a reign of terror, engaging in fights with other prisoners and refus- ing to obey orders. He continued to be unmanageable until recently when he complained of severe headaches. He told physicians that years ago he had been shot in the head and the bullet had not been removed. The bullet was found near the base Of the brain. It's pressure, physicians said, was the cause of his outbreaks.

CHINESE RAILROAD
 POLICY TAKEN UP.
American and British Proposals
 Under Consideration Today

Washington, Jan. 19 (By Associat- ed Press)-The American and British proposals for promoting an equitable development of railroad facilities in China formed the subject of discuss sion for today's meeting of the arms conference Far Eastern committee.
 Except for brief statements by Secretary Hughes and Sir Auckland Geddes in submitting them to the com- mittee, neither the American resolu- tion by which the powers would rec ord their hope for an eventual unifl- cation of the transportation lines in China under Chinese control nor the British proposal to pledge the powers again/t discriminatory practices on roads under their control was dis cussed yesterday, and it remained to- day for the other powers to record their attitude on both.
 While in neither proposal was there any exclusion of either the Shantung or Manchurian lines in approaching the railroad proposal the committee agreed to the suggestion of Secretary Hughes that the question of the Chin- eSe eastern Idll"dy De IeltlISu to o special subcommittee of Far Eastern experts for separate consideration. It has been indicated that retention of the present control of this line trav- ersing the border between Manchuria and Siberia by an er-allied commits sion would be recommended in view of the unsettled conditions In Russia.
 Although the Chinese delegates re- served the right to call up again the provision of the American open door proposal which would have authorized an inquiry into existing concessions in China, it was the general impression among the delegates today that this had been permanently sidetracked when it was stricken out of the resolu- tion yesterday before adoption of its other provisions.
 Despite the view of many delegates that this fA,ture constituted the most sweeping provision of the American plan it was represented as the opinion of the American delegation today that its elimination did not materially weaken the effect of the resolution as there would still be opportunity under remaining provisions for examination of existing concessions. where both parties agreed to 1t.

SULPHUR IS BEST TO CLEAR UP UGLY,
 BROKEN OUT SKIN

Any breaking out or skin irritation on face, neck or body is overcome quickest by applying Mentho-Sul- phur, says a noted skin specialist. Because of its germ destroying pro- critics, nothing ever has been found to take the place of this sulphur preparation that instantly brings ease from the itching, burning and irrita- tion.
 Mentho-S Sulphur heals eczema right up, leaving the skin clear and smooth. It seldom fails to relieve the torment or disagreement. A little jar of Mentho- Sulphur may be obtained at any drug store. It is used like cold cream.
