Petrifed Tree Stump

While blasting out lodge at
Moose River, Maine, a road commits
sioner blew out large fragment Of
rock which had in the center the
well-defned remains of an ancient
stump that had become almost wholly
petrified, small pieces of the wood be-

The wood appeared to be knot,

Ammonia in Drinking Water

A new use for ammonia is in treat
ing water in combination with chlOr-
inc. To insure proper bactericidal
action an excess of chlorine is usual
ly added and the water thus treated
has a noticeable and rather unpleas-
ant taste. If ammonia is added to
the chlorine, forming chloramine, the
amount Of chlorine necessary is re-
duced to less than half the usual
standard and the bactericidal action
is increased and made more thorough

She stared at him. eyes wide with
surprise. Her expression warned
the big man. With unexpected
swiftness ne whirled, the rifle
jumping to his hip.
"Who are you?" he demanded
harshly
The answer came smoothly and
easily: Pm the antelope you shot

The big man glared at him. Shep
Sanderson was that unusual COM
binatiOn, slow thinker and a fast
shooter. He had a one-track mind
and had no room in his brain for
simultaneous cross currents. Either
Barbara Steelman or this man was
wrong. He had fired only one shot.

been the stranger at whom he had
flung the bullet from his rifle. The
girl must have been in the brush
between him and the road. What
was she doing here, anyhow? And
how did this man know his name
was Sanderson? What was the best
thing TO do now?
O'Hara lifted the hat from his
head with bow to the young wom-
an. She caught sight of the holes
in it and her eyes dilated.

asked
Just now, miss, with his little
bullet"
She felt the blood ebb from her
heart as she stared at him. Some
how. in the rush of the moment
she had not been afraid when she
thought Sanderson had fired at her.
There had not been time for fear.
But now, with the evidence that
red tragedy had grazed so near,
stamped in the hat, she was shaken.
"Why did he do it?'
That's what I've come to ask
him" The manner of the young
man altered. Brown eyes and voice
were no longer gentle. In his bear
ing was a certain poised inf1exibil-
ity. Yet he did not raise his voice
or change his attitude. The differ
ence was of the spirit. "Why pick
on me as a target, Mr.. Sanderson?"
Il don't know you, fellow?" Sand
ersOn grOwled.

Though he denied it in words, the
man stood convicted. There was

Mans Never-Ending War
on His Insect Enemies

One war that never ceases is that
waged by insects upon man. Every
year insects cost the human race mil
lions upon millions of dollars by their
destruction of growing crops and
stored harveste, And they kill or
MAIN thousands of human beings by
spreading disease.
Science is constantly engaged in
investigating new means of keeping
insect foes at bay, and wonderful
work has been done.
The stamping out of malaria in
large areas once almost uninhabit-
able, and the checking of the spread
of sleeping sickness are examples of
what has been accomplished.
Now comes news of a discovery
which may open up entirely new
lines of attack on insect pests. For
a long time past a young Australian
scientist, DR.. f. G.. Holloway, has
been endeavoring to find a way of
dealing with the flour beetle, which
does an enormous amount of damage.
He has found that the proportion of
grubs that turn into males and fe-
males can be controlled by regulating
their food; starve a hundred grubs
for one day and the majority will de-
velop into male beetles.
Now, the female beetle may lay
thousands of eggs. If, therefore, he
has found a means of decreasing the
number of females. the beetle pest
may be kept down. Similar prin-
ciples of sex-control may be found
applicable to other insect enemies of
man.

by sudden current of wind. The
sound of an explosion doomed,
from the chaparral smoke drifted
Skyward.
O'Hara's languOr vanished-and
so did he. Before the booming of
the rifle had died. before the first
thin shred of smoke had appeared,
he had flung himself out of the sad
die and was scuttling for the brush.
As he ran he stopped to scoop up
his hat.
Not till he had lodged past much
greaSewood and mesquite did he
stop to reconnOiter. For one glance
had shown him two holes i'm the
hat. A bullet had passed through
the side and crown. If the am
buSher had fired two inches lower
the lead would have crashed
through the victims brain.
The running man pulled up TO
consider ways and means. The po-
sition of the holes in the hat
showed him that the shot had come
from the right. What was the OBJ
ject of the attack? O'Hara was a
stranger. He could have no en-
emieS, not in this frontier land.
Since he was unknown, nobody
could have acquired grudge
against him. Robbery, then. could
have been the only motive. Some
body had tried to assassinate him
to get his wallet, or else his horse
and saddle. Who? O'Hara meant
TO find out, if it could be done with
out too much risk.

SALT UPRISING
Gandhi Untouched When He
Leads Hindu Millions in
First Overt Act.
By United Press

BIZ United Press
BOMBAY, India. April Force
of the British empire descended to-
day upon disciples of Mahatma
Gandhi, midas peaceful rebel"
and threw scores of revolutionists
into jail for their deliberate defiance
of English law.
These disciples of the Mahatma,
including his son, we're hustled into
prison in the first twenty-four
hours of Gandhi's national cam
paign of civil disobedience.
First Overt Act
Gandhi's gesture of revolt against
the laws forbidding manufacture
of salt, and against the burden of
the salt taxes. thus was successful,
in that it produced the effect for
which the revolutionist had prayed.
n 1t was an overt act against Brit
iSh rule, and it brought instant re-
taliation from the government.
Gandhi himself was untouched,
although it was he, at the salt
marshes of Dandi, who signalized
the beginning of the revolt and his
disobedience campaign by SCOOP
ing the first dipper of salt-laden
water from the sea, while white
clad host cheered the ceremonial
Police Act Quickly
Throughout the other sections of
India, however, where Gandhi's
appeal led hundreds of jealous fol-
lowers to emulate his act, the police
were active, closing down on the
ringleaders of the theoretical re-
volt as soon as they had gathered
the contraband salt.
In many cases the official action
was taken ostensibly as a health
measure" on the grounds that the
salt was not fit for human con-
sumption.
Wholesale arrests followed quick
ly, particularly at Ahmedabad,
Gandhi's home town and the scene
of his academy.
