He does not become iritated when his

closed each time by Andrews. Finally

that "The wind blows my hair out Of

GUARDS WOOL FROM MOTHS
New Preparation Said to Preserve the
Fabric From Depredations
of the Pests.

A preparation has been discovered
In Europe which, it is claimed, makes
wool immune from the rayages of
moths. 1t is in the form of a powder,
which, before it is applied, is mixed
in water with a small quantity of sui
phuric acid for all-wool goods, formlc
acid being used for half-wool.
The wool itself is said not to be
affected by the application, and only a
few colors very slightly. In case no
alkalies are brought into contact with
1t the wool remains moth-proof when
washed. Tests made with two pieces
of wool cloth exactly alike, in which
moth eggs were placed, resulted II the
course of six months, in the entire dis
appearance of the untreated fabric,
whereas the wool which had been
treated remained intact.

as visible light Light travels at a
speed Of $4,000 miles per second The
speed with which an electric current

for fixing minimum prices ~ the mine,
in order to prevent prodteering, He
asked, however, that the operators
agree among themselves on fair prices
in order that the antitrust laws might
not be infringed Mr.. Hoover then
announced what he considered fair
prices in three districts. These ranged
from $500 to $3.50 a ton for the Ala
bama district; $3.50 a ton for the
smokeless coal districts of West Vlr-
ginia, and $3.50 a ton for the Harlan
and Hazard fields Of Kentucky and
the southern Appalachian fields of
Tennessee and Kentucky. The maxi
mum for the Alabama district Is %
ccnst a ton below the final Garfield
wartime scale, while the maxlmums
proposed for the other districts are
somewhat above the Garfield prices.
The prices are to apply only to spot
