NEW PROCESS FOR
 CITRUS PRODUCTS
Government Finds Chemical Means of Utilizing Waste Orange
 and Lemon Gull

WASHINGTON, March 20.-Utiliza- tion of the culled oranges and lem ons of California, through a process developed by the bureau of chemistry of the Department of Agriculture, IS saving fruit growers thousands of dol lars annually.
 This information was made public recently, with a description of meth ods of manufacturing citric acid, ci- trate of lime and other by-products from fruit unfit for shipment to East ern markets.
 Value Increased
 Before orange and lemon culls had an extensive commercial use they were sold for from $3 to $5 ton. The price now ranges from S25 to i $30 a ton, the Department of Agricul- ture said.
 A laboratory was established some time ago at Los Angeles to begin the study of utilizing the waste fruit. The methods of Italian manufacturers who produced lime and critic acid from culled fruit were first investi- gated, but it was discovered the ex- ! +6nsive human labor used in the Italian process made production too costly.
 By improved machinery a way was developed to reduce human labor to a minimum and to produce sufficient lv cheap to complete with the Italians.
 Growing Industry
 Several private corporations are now engaged in lime and acid manu- facture in California.
 Among the other by-products are lemon oil, widely used in toilet prep arations, iellies, candied skin of or anges and lemons, fruit juices and other food products.
 Agricultural Department chemists will continue their studies of culled fruit in the West and are expected to develop utilization of apples and grapes, adapting foreign methods to American necessities and seeking by products not already known.

FILIPINO INVENTS
 DEADLY AIRGUN

MANILA, March 20-A Filipino in Calcocan, a town adjoining Manila, has invented an air rifle whose pro jectile penetrates tWo-inch hard wood plank. The Government has written "verboten' on the invention, as the gun is a silent but very dead ly weapon.
 Filipinos make another gun that Conan Doyle describes in one of his Sherlock Holmes stories. It is called "sumpit," and is simply hollow tube about eight feet ling, the hole being about the diameter of a 38-calibre re- volver. The load which may be noth- ing more than sun dride mudball, is

RESENT DEATH SENTENCE.
Berlin Press Sees Aim to Drown
Resistance In Blood.

By the Associates Press.
BERLIN. June 30.-France wants
to drown in German blood the resist
ance to which we have been forced in
peace time on the Rhine. the Moselle
and the Ruhr." says the Allgemeine
Zeitung press over the sentencing of
seven Germans to death for sabotage
by French court martial in Mayence.
The Germans are being executed in
an effort to strangle the passive re-
sistance campaign, the newspaper
charges, but France will not be victor
ious and this blood will not have
flowed in vain" It concludes with
the quotation: May some avenger
rise from our ashes"
The other newspapers comment in q
similar strain, expressing the con-
viction that these wholesale death
sentences must surely awaken the
outside world to the "monstrosity"o of
the French conduct in the occupied
area. The list of. those condemned,
as published here. follows:
Paul Sasse. alias Schuetz, aged
twenty-three. Frankfort building

six. Augsburg matchmaker: George
