cloud of arrows flew over the palisades and
struck with kissing thuds upon the flimsy roof
of our fortress. An exclamation of pain broke
from the lips of one of our Malay soldiers and,
turning tiny squirt of blood gush out
from where an arrow had pierced his arm.
Take cover" I shouted, "those arrows are
poisoned"
AS another flight Of the poisoned weapons
Kissed over us, commanded my companions to
fire into the jungle, and the fight began. The
arrows were coming fast and furiously, many Of
them right in our midst, and before many min

milton. I knew this trouble was not going TO
end with the first battle.
DRESENTLY saw Tindig fall with q cash in
his shoulder. Just long parang-not an
arrow-dropped with cIang on the floor. The
doctor rushed to help him. Another parang
shot over our heads, and TO our dismay we
noticed that it came from the rear. Looking
out over the bare limestone we saw the pluned
warriors from the war prahu lying barr1caded
befing the small canoes and throwing their
long-bladed parangs through our fiinlsy barri-
cade
All together, we fired a round of our precious
ammunition The response was several long
drawn howlS Of pain. But it was going to take
more than few volleys from our rifles to stop
these devils, for Sambulu and his picked staff
doubtful indeed whether we had enough am
munition to hold out and it was certain that We
could not stop them If they made up their
minds to charge.
Suddenly while the poisoned arrows and
parangs continued to fall, our cameraman dis
appeared. At the edge of the jungle We could
see our enemies assembling on both sides and
pretty soon they began spreading out both 70
the left and to the right in way which showed
they intended to surround US. We had been
sending volley after voley into the forces Of the
enemy and hoped against hope that the severe
punishment they were getting might turn them
about.
But on the contrary it appeared to have
aroused their fury and brought all their most
savage instincts into play, for all at once Sem
balu, with eyes cleaning and nostrils diiated,
threw away his canoe shield and with loud,
bloOdcurding Shrek dashed toward u.s. The
others followed suit and all, with yells and
screams Of maniacal fury, ran menaeinsly IN

American Chemical So- ciety Told of Newest Re- suits of Experiments - Synthetic Silk Produc- ton Shows Increase in Nation.

Atlanta. April (P) - Human breath was converted into a fire cX- tinguisher at the American Chemi- cal society meeting yesterday.
 Thomas Midgley, Jr., of Dayton, O., lighted a candle and set it on table in view of a general session of the chemists. Into a glass dish alongside he poured to the depth of an inch a new liquid refrigerant, the temperature of which he said was Is degrees below zero.
 It began to boil, and the rim of frost.
 Blows Steam On Flame
 Dr. Midgley placed his face di- rectly over the fumes, opened his mouth, and inhaled the cold steam. Then he turned to the candle and breathed gently in it's direction The touch of his laden breath smothered the flame.
 This refrigerant" he said, lis non-explosive and we believe non poisonous. It has not harmed ami mals. l have breathed quantities of it without lasting bad effects. When I took enough, it produced q sort of intoxication.
 The best way l can describe this sensation is to say that it is dead ening, instead of cxhilaration such as credited to alcohol. These fum S do not rouse a desire to sing or re- cite poetry.
 'The refrigerant still is in the ex- perimental stage"
 Dr. Midgley's research is spon- sored by General Motors with Dr. Robert L. Hennc cooperating. The new substance is a combination of fluorine, chlorine and methanc. To | fuorine Dr. Midgley credited the unusual effects. Fluorine is com paratively rare element, canary | blond in color. discovered in 1886. Some of it's effects in the refrig- erant, he said, were contrary to ac- cepted opinion of how it would re- act. He forecast increasing safety which would lead to mechanical re- frigeration for cooling living rooms. | Cheap Clothes Product A day when feminine America can wear mostly silken garments, made | cheaply by synthetic chemistry was | forecast in several papers. Professor Charles E. Mullin, of Clemson Col lege, said the 1880 output of these silken fabrics in the United States I u-n To ct hN It will be worth about $190, 0,000.OO0 an increase of s4O,o0o,000 above 1929.
 This country he said makes almost | three times as much of this synthetic goods as the next three largest pro- ducing countries combined, Italy England and Germany. About two thirds of the American output is from plants south of the old Mason and Dixon line.
 For cold weather he forecasts arti, ficial silken "wools," quoting reports that cheaper methods of making them are coming slowly into prac. tice. The "wool' is similar to the silken synthetic fibre, except tha' instead of being smooth it's strand, are made with covering of curly cues. which serve to create little ail pockets.

Veteran Labor Leader Says Prohibition "Hum- buzz, Peace Conference Trash, and Modern Jazz "Fo0lishness" "-Un. employment Worst Prob lem.

Washington, April tUP)-Moth- CT Jones is hoarding these spring days like miser.
 The aged labor leader, amazonian heroine of many coal strikes, watches each day pass outside her siclt-room, for each one takes her nearer the y hour of her tooth birthday on May 1, . day, likewise, notable in the an- nals of labor.
 Mother Jones realizes she is near ing the end of her hard but dramatic life, and is determined to see that final day which will close a century She's going to have party then, a big birthday party
 To Have Birthday Cake
 There will be a huge birthday cake, the gift of the bakers union with 100 candles on it's frosted sur face. and congratulations and best of all for her, the memories of a 100 years.
 For that day, Mother Jones clings to life.
 "I'll be up and around soon and see my boys again." she said today, confidently, when the United Press correspondent called.
 Observing un employment and the modern industrial trend in displace- ment of men by machines she said: That's the biggest problem of to- day. You are throwing men out of work and putting machines in their places. What are you going to do about it? That's something for our statesmen to ponder"
 Calls Prohibition "Humbug"
 Prohibition?
 q think that is the greatest hum bug ever put over on the American people"
 She explained she doesn't know enough about the London naval con- ference to discuss it, but she has her own opinion about such things. Those peace conferences are a lot of trash, just spending the peo- ple's money junketing about"
 Her viewpoint is colored by lack . of sympathy with modern civliza- ton, with it's speed, its new thrills the theater, the moving picture, the jazz dance.
 They are lot of foolishness. l ! never went to a theater in my life and I only went to one moving pic ture show"
 'I thought they were lot of fools {. I never had any time for those things. l never went to dances or parties There are too many wretched people in the world who need help.
 The present "crisis," as she calls 1t, needs leadership she said.
 There never was a time in all the history of the American people when you need level-headed men as you do today
 Looking back over her own experl' ences in various coal mine controver' sieS, she philosophical:
 Don't Use Their Power
 "Women have power but they don't know how to use it. They gel timid. If I ever knew what feal meant I never would have done wha' I did,"
 One of the things that she did and she recalled it today as if l happened yesterday-was to defy z group of hired gunmen who hao planted a machine, gun on ridge above West Virginia mine. Sht walked right up to them, took the gun and told the men that 700 min CTS, well-armed, were coming oVel to attack them.
 "They let me have the gun ane ran,'' she said.
 Another time a governor of Colo rado told her she could not so bacl among the miners.
 Said to him you'll go to hell be fore you keep me away So wen back.
