Poker Chips From Skim MILK and Sweet Sugar From Artichokes
 Are Two Things

Philadelphia, Sept. il P-Poker chips made from skim milk and sugar from artichokes were only two of the many seemingly mira cles worked by. chemists and dis American chemical society. cussed during the session Of the
 The raw material from which the poker chip is made is the caseln of milk, it was exclaimed obteained after the cream had been removed. This product formerly had been thrown away.
 Not only is this material used In the making of poker chips, but al so for buttons, hair brushes. foun- tain pens, combs and necklaces. In many cases the finished product has the appearance of tortoise shell.
 Sugar made from artichokes, 1t was said, is much sweeter than cane sugar.
 A popular belief dispelled by the chemists was that the golden rod is the cause of hay fever. Ragweed is the commonest cause of hay fe- yer.
 It was declared, and the golden rod is generally blamed because It happens to be in bloom at the time the ragweed pollen is in the air.
 Another popular belief shattered was that rose fever" was caused by roses. Instead, chemists pointed out, timothy and other grasses are to blame, but the rose has been generally held responsible because roses are In bloom when the grasses begin to pollenize.

 porary Chairman

New Haven, Conn, Sept. II pF- Frank P. Fenton, of Willimantic who was democratic house leader in the assembly of 1923, will be temporary chairman of the democratic state convention in this city next Wednes- day night. He is the present town clerk of Windham and also US lrea- surer and registrar.
 He Also served in the house In 1917.
 The invitation extended to Captain Fenton by State Chairman James J. Walsh of Meriden was accepted last night and announcement was made today by A. S. Lynch, secretary of the state committee.
 MT. Fenton is very well known in his party and has been a delegate to many conventions and often times took part in debate during the pro- ceedings.
 He has always been popular among his party members and was the spontaneous choice among the 51 other democratic members of the house in 1923, where 1t came to a choice of a leader.
 He is a good speaker with strong deep voice.
 The election of a temporary chair man for the convention was delayed for various reasons, one explaining being that there were many factors entering into pre-convention arrange ments which had to be considered before temporary chairman was named.
 MT. Fenton's acceptance of the chair was awaiting the return from Washington last night of State Chairman Walsh.

GIANT DRAGONS OF
 HISTORY CAPTURED
Two Great Lizards Found in
 Malay Archipelago
BROUGHT TO NEW YORK
Look Just Like Pictures On Chinese Flags Have Red Forked Tongues and Their Tails Are Spiked-Sought Since 1912.

New York, Sept. II P}-Two giant lizards, survivals of the fiery drag ons" of prehistoric times, have ar Aquitania. Each is eight feet long, weighs 200 pounds and has a body 1 as thick as a mans, covered with a close protective armor.
 The great saurians, long sought 1 by zoologists, were captured by Douglas Burden. a trustee of the American Museum of Natural His | tory on the Island of komodo in the Malay Archipelago. They are in the care of Professor E. R. Dunn of Smith college.
 Like Chinese Flag
 The dragons" have had their likeness blazoned on the flag of China for 4,0OO years. They have red, forked tongues and sometimes make a loud hissing noise. like es- caping steam, just as their fire breathing ancestors did. Their legs are short and stubby and each foot has four claws. Their tails are spiked.
 The discovery and capture of the ! two dragons, which are entirely carnivorous, is one of the most inn portant zooligical finds of modern times, scientists say. They are the only ones in captivity. Alan Cob ham, British aviator, sighted the giant lizards from the cockpit of his plane as he flew over komodo, a Dutch island in the Malay Archi- pelago.
 Don't Like Chicken
 The Aquitania's butcher pushed two chickens into the heavy wooden cage for the morning meal but they roasted, almost contemptuously. on the spiked tail of one of the mon- sters, both of which moved lfstless- lv in their cage after their sea voy- age.
 Dr. Dunn said one of the drag ons" the expedition saw jumped on the back of a horse, dragged 1t down and injured it so severely thai it had to be shot. Another at one meal ate the hindquarters of a na- tive deer and was back for more two days later.' They can TUT faster than a man, Dr. Dunn said
 Last of Spirits
 It IS believed the animals art lineal descendants of species tha' once lived in Chin- and Australia and that now exist only on the little almost-forgotten island where the Burden expedition pitched it's camp
 Mir. Burden was told that every museum of importance had beer eager to obtain a living specimen oi the giant lizard since 1912, Wher iP. A. Ouwens, Dutchman, had first reported its existence. MT. Burden decided last December to lead the expedition to Komodo, and Charles E. Hughes, former secretary ol state. used his influence to obtalr the Dutch colonial governmentt permission for the expedition.

ton for rehearing of the American
Book company's case against S. NJ. \.
Marrs, superintendent of public in
struction, was denied by the Supreme

making any dcroSatory or damaging
