Burn Youth as Sacrifice;
Six Sentenced to Death

Salisbury, Southsrn Rhodesia.-Hu-
man sacrifice still is practiced in some
parts of the old world, it was shown
when six members cf local tribe were
sentenced to death Cor burning alive a
young man named Manduza in order to
appease the rain goddess.
Rhodesia had bean suffering from a
severe drought, ana some of the native
tribes ascribed it TO the wrath of the
goddess, who, they believed, had been
violated. Inquiries led the tribal chief
to- believe that his son was guilty Of
having assaulted the goddess, and he
thereupon ordered his incineration.
The rain goddess. young and hand
some girl, did not testify against him.
Defense counsel commented on the
high motives which led the chief to
sacrifice his son for rain, and referred
to parallel cases in Hebraic and
Semitic history.
Rain fell soon after Manduza was
burned alive.

Discovery Just Made Cuts Down
Danger From Fumes of
Carbon M0noxide.

DISQUALIFICATION monoxide gas
poisoning, the nemesis of workers in
mines, mills, garages, tunnels and va
rious industries, as well as the Occu-
pant of the home, is the subject of an
important discovery just made by ex-
perts of the Pittsburgh station Of the
United States bureau Of mines.
The discovery affords quick and
sure method Of determining the pres
ence Of carbon monoxide poison in the
blood, and, according to the experts,
will not only prove boon to sufferers
from the dreaded gas, but will be use
full in legal way, in that 1t will prove
conclusively the cause Of such deaths.
DR.. r. r. Sayers and w. B. Yant,
chemist Of the bureau, made the dis
covery, and, after months of research
work and actual tests upon human be-
ings,' they have reported that their
simple system could be operated by
anyone.
Right Treatment Assured.
They say that within fifteen min
utes after the test is made the amount
Of carbon monoxide poison in the
blood Of the subject could be deter
mined, thus insuring the right and
prompt treatment for the patient.
Heretofore, doctors treating carbon
monoxide cases have had to wait from
twenty-four to forty weight hours for a
blood test before they could begin
proper treatment.
The Sayers-Yant discovery came as
the result Of work in the Hudson river
tubes in New York. While the bureau
Of mines experts were engaged in the
problem Of ascertaining proper ven
tilating system for the tubes under
the river SO as to render automobile
gases harmless to those passing
through, they. struck upon the new
method Of determining the presence
OF carbon monOxide in the blood.
Big Aid In Rescue Work.
Discussing the value of the discov-
cry to mines and mills, Mr. Yant
pointed out that heretofore rescue
workers have been hampered in treat
ing stricken men because they did not
: know whether the patient suffered
from shock or carbon monoxide gas.
Likewise, this was true in garage and
tunnel accident cases. The patients
are always given oxygen, but it re-
quired an entire day or more to de-
termine If they had carbon monoxide
poisoning.
With the discovery at hand. Mr..
Yant said, rescue workers in the in
dustries will know whether the victim
Of an accident has carbon monoxide
poison In his blood; will know the
exact amount of such poisoning. and

stalled on the Washington Baltimore
boulevard in front of the campus Of
the University of Maryland at College
park, Maryland, through cooperation
OF the university with the state roads
commission of Maryland. officials Of
the Department of Agriculture expect
this device to confirm the results of
investigations previously made which
show that good road is such a pay
ing investment that it is the poorest
kind of business judgment to do with
out it.
Establishes Road Worth.
This device which is being installed
on the Washington Baltimore road was
thought out in the bureau of public
roads.
THE value that such q record will
have is most obvious" said Dean A. N.
Johnson of the engineering department
of the university. 1T will give basis
for determining the economic worth Of
our roads and Indicate into what our
highway transportation is developing"
Work is in progress at the univer-
sity at present of celebrating the ap-
paratus, casting the slabs of which will
form the covering, and otherwise get
ting everything in readiness for the
installation
This first installation will be expert
mental, for the purpose of perfecting
and developing the apparatus. When
installed the roadway will be unim-
paired, the concrete slabs, which will
form the covering, being so laid as to
preserve intact the original surface.
This is highly important in order that,
as the traffic rolls over the apparatus,
there will be no inequalities in the sur
face which would induce the impact
loads.
Show Highways Repay Cost.
The United States bureau OF public
roads produces figures based on a sur
vey of traffic in Connecticut to prove
that good road soon ,repays all it
cost An actual count of the traffic on
the Boston post road showed that the
average weight of vehicles and COM
mOdities passing over the road in nine
hours each day was LAO tons. Add
ing one-thlrd as conservative esti.
mate for the full day increases the
weight TO 1920 gross tons daily.
