pittsfield. Dec. 26--The Greenville
\. A. basketball outfit journeyed to
Pittsfield and defeated the local Ave
at Union Hall on Christmas night by
the score OF 80 to- &c. before a large
and enthusiastic audience.
Greenville led during the entire
game but Pittsfield kept threatening
and kept very close all the way and
1t looked as though lucky squirt
might enable the locals to get away
with the game. Grover played a
wonderful game for the locals shoot :
ing baskets from difficult angles and
playing a fast all around game. The
Mitchells for the visitors played a
strong game.

Steve O'Neill, veteran catcher who

the height OF his career in 1920 when
Cleveland conquered Brooklyn in
the World series. In a discussion of

declared that O'Neill was what is

RICHMOND. Va, August s.
Enough explosive to load a freight
train 40 miles long soon will be made
available to farmers for land clearing
and to States for road construction,
according to an announcement re-
ceived last night from the United States
Department of Agriculture.
One hundred million pounds of
pyrotol will be distributed by the
Bureau of Public Roads of the Agri-

This Is continuation of the work
which has been carried on for three
years, whereby the vast supplies of
explosives In the possession of the
Government at the close of the World
War are being made over to make
them suitable for constructive pur-
distribution already has resulted in
saving millions of dollars to the peo-
pie of the United States.
"Pyrotol is composed largely of
ground smokeless powder. prepared
by a process perfected by George r..
Boyd of the Bureau of Public Roads.
1t Is peculiarly adapted for blasting
stumps and for work of similar char
acter. 1t can be used for all ope n air
work without causing headaches or
other i'll effects and will not stain the
hands or clothing.
1T is a low-freezing explosive and
can be used with good results in all
ordinary temperatures. The cart
ridges are of the same size and shape
as the ordinary dynamite cartridge.
Each box contains so pounds, about
$50 cartridges. and each cartridge is
approximately equal in strength to

satisfactions 1T may to the buried,

Coal Tar Political Asset.
Germany has lost her chance. what
little chance she had, of recovering
her African colonies by trading off
for them the formula for curing the
sleeping sickness, for France has now
the same remedy. or, fas the druggists
say, something just az good" Bayer
2o5 has rival in Pasteur 3os. Such
is the announcement of H. II. Dale,
head of the pharmcology department
of the National Research Council, Lon
don. Here is case where a coal
tar compound plays an important part
in international politics, for, when
European powers they found much of
their territory becoming uninhabit-
able Ey the spread of the sleeping
sickness, which devastated a belt
1000 miles long and in places one or
two hundred miles wide. stretching
most to the opposite ocean.
The disease was discovered to be
caused by a little creature with a
long name, trypanosome an infini-
tessimal wriggler, which is carried
by the tsetse fly and fnfectS the blood
of man and beast. German chemists
set about to find a drug that would
kill the creature without harming its
host and after Is years of effort sue
ceeded. But, meantime. Germany had
lost her African possessions to her
conquerors-France, Britain and Bel
gium-and SO had no sleepers to cure.
Formula Long Kept Secret.
The formula for BayeE 205, or as it
Is now called, "germanin." was kept
secret, but it was intimated that it
would be disclosed if the allies would
return the German colonies. This in
volved an extensive real estate trans
fer, for the German African possess
sions amounted to a million square
miles, or a third the size of conti-
mental United States or habitable
Canada. So the allies showed no
eagerness to buy the recipe at this
work on the problem, following such
clues as could be obtained from the
pre-war Bayer patents, and now
Fourneau. working In the Pasteur In
309th preparation has similar and
probably as valuable properties" as
Bayer's 205th. Injected into the blood
it will not only free the animal from
the trypanosomes in few days, but
render it immune to further Infection
for months afterward.
Disease Is Overcome.
At any rate, this previously incura-
BILE and fatal disease seems to have
finally been conquered and vast areas
in the tropics may now be opened to
settlement. DR.. Hale also told of the
war against other animal parasites
by the invention of salvarsan and
similar arsenical and bismuth COM
pounds. The oldest of all such Spe-
ctfic remedies is uuinine, which de-
stroys the malarial parasite. DR..
Hale holds that in all such cases the
drug does not act directly by killing
off the parasite, but, as was supposed
by Ehrlich, works in cooperation
with the natural defenses of the
body by making the blood uninhabit-
able to the invader.

SANITARlUM HEAD
GETS 25.YEAR TERM
DR.. K. B. Uhls Sentenced in Kan.
sas for Murder of Rich Civil
War Veteran.
BY the Associated Press.

by the Associated Press.
HUTCHINSON. Kans.. August g.
DR.. Kenn b. This, former head OF the
Uhls Narcotic Sanitarium at Overland
Park, Kans., was yesterday sentenced
by Judge w. G. Fairchild to rs years
in the Kansas prison at Lansing fol-
lowing his conviction some time ago
on charge of second-degree murder
in connection with the death of w. +.
Gibbs, wealthy Civil War veteran.
Gibbs was clubbed to death on the
night of December 20. Uhls' alleged
motive has always been cited by the
prosecution as a desire to obtain the
block of stock in the Uhls sanitarium
owned by Gibbs. The aged veteran
had invested 100000 on promise Of
big dividends, but two dividends had
been passed, and he was raising con-
siderable disturbance.
DR.. Uhls was then trying to float
big issue, and it would have been det-
rimental to this to have any legal
action brought by Gibbs, 1t was
claimed by the prosecution.
