COPPER GIVEN
TEMPER BY
NEW ART
Chemist Believes He Has
Found Secret of the
Ancients.

OSCARSHAM. Nov. 1.-THE
tempering of copper, one of the lost
arts of the ancients. n metallurgist
here by the name of q. Gustafsson,
claims to have undiscovered and as
proof exhibits knife containing GO
per cent copper that is sharp enough
to be used as razor.
After experimenting several years
he believes he has hit upon the right
combination between copper and an.
other metal of secret nature which
can be tempered until il becomes MS
hard as steel. This new alloy he
calls diamond copper" and world wide
patent rights have been sought.
The melting point Of the secret nd.
mixture he admits to be about the
same as that of copper itself. which
excludes aluminium, with which sever.
al metallurgists are known TO be OK.
perimenting. The real secret lies in
the mixing formula, for after the al.
10y has once been made the temper.
ing process is about the same rs for
steel. Mr.. Gustafsson asserts.
The melting point he also has ad.
mitted to be between ITO and 1000
degrees Centigrade. Disintegration by
acids in the new alloy has also been
reduced to fraction of 1 per cent,
while the copper alloy shows as much
as % per cent.

BOTH WIVES SUE
LUCKLESS PIANIST

CHICAGO, Nov. 14.-Clyde Beet
ley, pianist, holds the distinction
which he did not seek-of being the
only man in the country to be sued
for divorce by two pretty women at
the same time.
Also one of his wives-the first-is
suing the other for alienation of
Clyde's affections, despite the fact
that wife No. 2 thought Clyde was
her husband and she his only wife.
The pianist first married Peggy
Mccain, st. Louis hciress, who went
on the stage, appearing in ARTISTS
and Models" She filed suit some
time ago in st. Louis, but dropped
it. Clyde, believing he Ind been di-
vorced, married Simmone Soudan in
September.
Mrs. Peggy Mccain Beetley, hear
ing of this, became incensed. She
filed suit for divorce against Clyde
again, this time in Chicago, and also
filed suit for $4,000 against Sim
none, alleging alienation of Clyde's
affections.
And now, to complicate the already
complicated picture, Simmone has
filed suit against Beetley for divorce.
As neither suit has yet been heard
it is entirely possible that he may be
officially separated from two wives
at the same time.

CHICAGO IN LEAD
AS DIVORCE HEAVEN

CHICAGO, Nov. 14.-Chicago has
passed Reno and is now the divorce
capital" of the United States, ac-
cording to Judge Joseph David.
David is not n regular divorce court
judge, but was assigned to a few
marital eases because the regular
courts were ovcrcrowded. He was sur
prised when one of his first cases was
that Of Edward B. Osler, of New
York, who is credit manager for n
rubber company. A
This is appalling" David declared
in refusing the divorce. "Does this
man believe he can sit comfortably in
his New York office, send evidence
out here to Chicago and get divorce ?
"Chicago's easy divorce law ap-
parently has gained nationwide atten-
ton. and this city has passed Reno as
the divorce capital"
David then listened to the testi-
mony of Mrs. Osler, who filed a coun-
ter-petition for divorce and took the
case under advisement.

1t was specifically stipulated in
the agreement entered into. with the
Arabs in 1916 that Damascus. Hons,
NJ. Kamma and AleDpo should be in
cluded in the Arab state. 1t was on
the strength Of this agreement that
the Arabs helped the allies to conquer
Palestine and Syria. Britain has adj
hered to her bargain in Mesopotamia.
Her meter there is confined to .ad-
vice and assistance.
On the other hand. Syria for ali
practical purposes. has been governed
as il it were French colony. There
is not even a pretense of making
Damascus the capital of an'independ-
ent Arabic state. The Arabs naturally
accuse France Of having committed a
fragrant breach Of faith. Unless the
League of Nations is a sham, and its
mandates a fraud. the Arab case will
be fully heard and iudicially deter
mined. am not without hope that
NJ. de- Jouvenel will render such II
hearing unnecessary.
MANDATE UNWARRANTED.
NY recollection il that. during the
peace conference. President Wilson
sent members of his suite to inquire
upon the spot as to the feeling OF the
inhabitants of French mandate. and
that the report came back that the
Syrians were averse to it.
Let us hope that the troubles OF the
last two or three years have been a
lesson to the French government. Re-
cent utterances of NJ. BRAND and NJ.
de Jouvenel are hopeful. The former
is reported to have stated that the
French policy in the future will be a
"wider measure of autonomy for the
inhabitants of Syria" NJ. de Jouvenel
has said that he hopes " before long to
be able to inform the League OF Ma
tons that Syria is now capable OF gov
erning ITSELF"
A French mandate in Syria Is essen
tial il that country is to have fair
chance of rebuilding its nationhood
without interruption from Turkish ag-
gression from without or racial and re-
ligious divisions from within. But 1t
must be a mandate, and not military
autocracy.

Association, that show up well on

Quoting q. z. Gates. president Of

he asserted that there has been a
sure and steady increase in values,
no sudden ups and downs. and that
property bought several years ago
is selling with splendid profits to-
day. There is nothing to indicate
that the building business will come
down or that property prices will
not continue to increase in a steady
progress, Gates said.

SOME MOTOR SENSE

Traffic is getting to be quite a
problem on the Valley Pike. Thou
sands of tourists from all over the
country are using this highway as
a means of travel and recreation. On
Sundays and olidays, there is
almost continuous line of cars be-
tween Winchester and Harrisonburg.
This congestion, of course, means
that the motorists in this section will
have to exercise great deal more
care than usual to avoid accidents,
and unhappy mixups. In the past,
one could drive for miles without
meeting but few cars, and natur-
ally many chances were taken and a
great bit of reckless driving went on.
1t is time, however, that we be more
careful and drive at a more reason
able rate of speed than heretofore.
This old pike is one of the few
thoroughfares of its kind in the
state, which is not patrolled by speed
cops. This unusual liberty should
be appreciated by the people to such
an extent, that they at least try to
obey the highway laws of Virginia.
Drive slowly around turns and in all
the towns, no matter how small they
may be. Do not try to pass an auto
mobile on the brow of a hill or at
any place unless you are sure that
you have plenty of time and that
the road is clear at least a hundred
yards ahead. Blow your horn at all
road intersections and crossings. Be
sure that your tail light and both
headlights are burning after night.
Lastly. but not leastly, be courteous
to your brother automobilist, and for
goodness sake! Do not be a road
hog, for this is one of the meanest
individuals in the world.

through Virginia, declared Herman
Roe, who left the National Editorial
party at Norfolk to accompany Pres
ident Roosevelt to Minneapolis last
week.
81 take off my hat to your Val
ley. 1t is the only country l have
ever seen that matches California,
declared Editor King, of California.
Who said Virginia has no roads?
That man has never been in this
state. II there are no roads in this
state, l haven't been in the section
where there are none, remarked Ed
itor Hoard, of Hoard's Dairy Weekly,
a noted dairy journal"
1t will be noted with some amaze
ment that Editor Roe returned to st.
Paul with President Roosevelt"

SHERIFF BUYS
A BLOODHOUND
County Criminals VIII Have to Dodge

In some counties of Virginia, the
Boards of Supervisors have borne
the costs of bloodhounds pur-

made no appropriation for this pur-
pose and the pup was purchased with
the sheriff's personal funds.
