eOoD-BY TO CLOTHES MOTH
Preparation Fatal to That
Household Pest. ;

The clothes moth, which it is esti-
mated destroys ten thousand tons of
wool each year, may be absolutely con-
trolled By the use of a new chemical
called "Eulan F." which may be used
In wool finishing. The substance is
harmless TO human beings, but wool
impregnated with it is not eaten by
starvation threatens, and it is then
speedily fatal. The chemical has been
prepared by the dye works Of Lever
kusen at Jena, Germany, by Doctor
Meckbach and his collaborators.
Although it is preferably applied to
the wooden article during or after the
finishing process in the factory, it may
be added subsequently to the complet-
ed goods by soaking them in a cold
per cent solution, or it may be
sprayed on. The goods are then rinsed
with pure water; and the Eulan finish
Is then said to be permanent for three
or four household washings before
needing renewal A similar process
may be used with furs.
The success of the new preparation
which Is claimed by its inventors to be
complete, comes after many years Of
experiment. 1t was noted 80 years ago
that wool dyed green was safe from
moths, and this was later shown to be
due to the use Of pigment called MAR
thus Yellow" in the dye. II remained
then to find q chemical which would
have this effect on the caterpillar, but
be odorless and without effect on the
color, or finish of the goods. TITS, the
inventors say, they have done aAu that
tests extending over several years
have demonstrated the efficacy of this
remedy against this great enemy Of
the careful housewife, against which
the sole protection had previously been
kind of gas attack through the use
Of strong-snelling chemicals.

A Little Goes a Long Way.

The research in radIum and the
X-ray is being carried forward con-
stantly, much to the benefit of human
fly at large. Although the price of
radium averages in the neighborhood
of 100000 a gram, and gram is
only about one fve-hundredth of a
pound, the use of radium has been
extended into dozens Of different
fields.
The layman is likely to wonder how
radium can be used to illuminate the
hands of watches and clocks when
the cost Of the material is so high. The
fact is that 1t requires only a micro
gram of radium, mixed with zinc sui
phide crystals, so to cover the hands
of a number of watches that they will
be luminous for years, and a micro
gram is but a millionth part Of gram.

COMPULSORY THRIFT

In Kansas a group of power and
telephone companies is trying com.
pulsory thrift plan, which affects
about 1900 employees and applies to
every member of the organization
from the president to the humblest
day laborer. The plan requires that
each shall save and invest monthly
at least 10 per cent Of his income.
Every month each employee must
make a report to the general Office OF
how much he has saved. and in what
he has invested it. The Investment
must be approved by committee
competent to advise. Government Sc
curities. savings bank accounts, build
ing and loan stock, payment on .
home, even payments on furniture are
allowed. II debts have been incurred,
these must be listed and payments
may ba arranged on them, but no
more are to be assumed. The idea Is
to make the employee live within hts
means and also lay aside something
In a definite form.
Reports for the arst nine months
show that about IS per cent Of the
wages have been saved, no single EN-.
ployee falling below 80 per cent This
amounts to over 100000. Failure to
report or to save brings dismissal, but
in only two instances among the 1,2oo
employees was such action needed.

more than five times the size of our
army and navy combined In this
connection the recent report of the
taxation committee of the Michigan
Bankers Association is particularly
interesting.
The comraittee asserts that. in the
past fifteen years, more than l,000,-
600 laws have been passed In the
country to control the lives and bus
mess activities Of our people, and
that one individual in twelve of our
population is supported by the tax
paying public in one way or another.
In the state Of Michigan, 50 per cent
Of the wealth newly created every
year goes to pay for government
state, local or national.
The Uuited States government
pays salaries to 100000 civilians and
and the several states have more than
twice that number on their payrolls.
Add their families and dependents
and you will understand the surpris-
ing totals and the cost Of our govern
mental housekeeping.
Is it any wonder that tax-frce Sc
curities are popular, and that so
many supposedly upright citizens are
to be suspected Of forgetfulness in
the matter of their tax return? Is it
any wonder that most business men
hold up their hands in horror at the
thought of government ownership or
operation of utilities?- Evansville,

Concerning Taxes

Those who have the say about the
expenditures Of tax money frequent
ly speak of the wastefulness of arm
les and navies They wish, as does
every one else, that such national
safeguards were unnecessary and
that the funds needed for their main
tainance might be diverted to serve
other purposes.
But as a rule they have very little
to say about our standing army Of
tax collectors and spenders, which Is

for the farmer to
understand and assist In solving
these problems il he is to succeed
In this new role-as a business man
the farmer steadily has advanced
to a better position.
There was a time when the farmer
was dependent wholly upon private
marketing agencies, whose interest
was not always Identical with his own,
whose greed for profits sometimes out
matched consideration of the farmers
need. Today there are many great
cooperative marketing organizations
that handle a large part Of the farm
er's crop and win for him more liberal
treatment from the private agencies
which still handle the bulk of his pro-
duction.
Today the farmer also has his own
cooperative agencies of credit. II not
satisfied with the terms upon which
his local capitalist Ia willing to ad.
vance money upon land mortgage,
the farmer can go directly to the Fed
eral Land Bank, which, by reason OF
tax-exemption and other advantages
Incidental to its governmental char
acter, can loan money at a rock-bot-
tom rate Of interest.
In addition, the federal government
has established another group OF
banks which permit the local bankers
by rediscount privileges-to extend
the farmer credit for his current oper-
90
ever before. If he thinks his local
bank is not sufficiently responsive to
his need this same legislation enables
him to Join with other farmers in a
cooperative marketing association
and arrange for credit direct from the
government banks.
New Credit Facilities
For years 1t has been the farmers
compaint-with considerable justifica-
tion-that he, alone of all producers,
has been forced to market his crop
on the buyers terms because Of his
inability to use his products, in stor-
age, as a basis for credit. Today the
agricultural credits act authorizes the
acceptance of warehouse receipts, on
non-perishable agricultural products
as collateral for loans, the same as in
the case Of sugar or other commodi-
ties of commerce.
These developments have relieved
the farmer from what seemed to be
persecution by short-sighted, tight
listed, grasping grain dealers, land
lords and bankers-for there were
some bankers who were guilty of this
very thing, who thought Of the farm
er principally as a weak and ignorant
opponent in a game whose only stake
was the collection of high rate Of
interest The farmers suspicion of the
banker arose because of misunder-
standing, because he Judged bankers
as a class by the derelictions of few.
Today, with these sources OF govern
ment-controlled credit available at his
call, the farmer cannot charge or even
suspect that the bankers are conspir-
ing to do him harm.
AS the zeal farmer has taken advan.
tage Of these opportunities, he has
made himself a business man. Like
other successful business men, he is
equipped with credit to finance his
operations, he is able to make use of
labor-saving machinery, he is able to
barter with buyers Of his products as
their equal.

W. B. Speegle Performs
Remarkable Feat on Jose

BUILD UNDER 1T
Serbs" Hold Building
Firm as 60-mile Wind
RACES Through City.

Moving. erecting, remodeling and
adding to buildings are jobs common
" known to the construction world
but raising a building into the air
high enough to permit the erection Of
another story beneath it is entirely
out of the common course of events in
the structural engineers life, they say.
This remarkable feat is being per-
formed by W. p. Speegle, a well
known structural engineer, on the
dance hall on Josephine street near
River avenue.
The building which is owned by
Grover Cain and formely was used as
q dance hall, is being hoisted into the
air fourteen feet and four inches. An
other story will be erected beneath the
dance hall. When completed, it will
be occupied by the Chic Chic Bottling
Works. The new story will have a
cement floor and double windows will
be installed between each column on
the sides of the building.
WithStOod the Storm
Work was begun on this building
several weeks ago by Mr.. Speegle, well
bnOhu uOuSt uluNeI. zoo ATduSdS ave-
nue.. During the strong winds recent
ly the building was fastened to the
cribs" which were twelve to fourteen
feet high and some people expected to
see the building blown from its moor
ings. But Mr.. Specie was confident
that It would stand the force of the
wind no matter how strong for he had
braced the cribs" in such a way that
be was sure the temporary foundation
OF the building would hold A CO.
mile wind ragged through San Antonio
several weeks ago but the dance hall
was standing on its cribs" when the
storm abated.
A Remarkable Feat.
According TO several structural en-
gineers this is a remarkable engineer
ing feat. Not only is it attracting the
attention of most everyone, locally,
interested in the building industry but
hardly an automobile passes the cor
ner Of Josephine and River avenue

pants peer at the sight there and 20

Saturday by Henry Hagelstein. At
present John Bredemus, noted golf
course architect, is on the proposed
site for the pay-as-yOu-play course in

dera road were tapped recently by
owners of Woodlawn Hills and a
branch from that line was extended
from the Bandera road two miles into

Corpus Gas Well Sands Up.
Corpus Christi. Tex. March 81


The gas well, four miles west of the
city, has sanded up. 1t is thought
that seepage coming in between two
sets of castings is the cause Of the
trouble. In the meantime the city
commissioners are going ahead with
the laying of mains to the larger IN
dustries. 1t is thought that the well
can be repaired in short time. Work
has been under way for several days
on another well. The well that was
expected to supply gas to the con-
sumers here was the discovery well.
At the time the well blew in several
hundred feet of casing remained to
be set, and it is thought by some that

was finished prevented n satisfactory

buildings for the Richter bakery. The
site on which the buildings formerly
stood will be occupied by a drive-in
station. 1t was exceedingly difficult
to place one of these buildings on
wheels, Mr.. Speegle says, for it was
situated several feet below the level
of the street and it was necessary to
go down several feet below the foun-
dation of the building in order to
place the trucks beneath it. This job
also attracted much attention and Mr..
Speegle says at times it was necessary
to rope the crowd back.
The building was soon loosened from
its foundation, and after it had been
placed on trucks the steam roller was
attached to it. 1t was dragged down
rough gravel street, through a bar
rage of wires and protruding limbs of
trees to a new site and placed on a
new foundation.
