PrOtOzOa Convert
Sewage Into Pure
Water for Drinking
Chemists Say Minute Ami
mails Eat Bacteria, Then
Die Themselves.
BY the Associated Press.

by IQe hSSOClhlOu
NEW YORK, March IA dis
covery of far-reaching Importance" in
savage disposal was described 10 the
New York section of the American
Chemical Society last night by DR..
John Arthur Wilson of Milwaukee.
It converts sewage into two useful
substances, a fertilizer, selling at $40
a ton, and water, which DR.. Thomas
said is purer than the drinking water
of many cities"
The work is done in new way, by
protocol, the smallest animals in exist
ence. They are cigar-Shaped single
celled creatures, the first rung OF life
above bacteria. The protocol eat the
bacteria, which are the poisons, the
real waste in sewage. When all the
bacteria are eaten. the protocol die.
Their bodies settle and are ground
into fertilizer rich in nitrogen and
phosphoric acid. These protocol are
cheap workmen, requiring only the right
living conditions, which consist princi-
pally of supply of oxygen while they
eat. They comprise many different
races, two of the principal ones being,
respectively, paramecia and vorticella.
There is nothing theoretical about
their work DR.. Thomas exhibited pic
lures of them in a great publication
plant in Milwaukee, said to be the most
efficient of its kind in the world. One
photo showed the cigar shaped half
transparent creatures full of dark dots,
which were the eaten bacteria.
DR.. Thomas spoke in response to
presentation to him of the William
H. Nichols medal one of the highest
honors of chemistry.

INDIA HELD MARKET
OF UNUSUAL WORTH
Irwin Gandhi Agreement
HeraIded as Opening Up OPP
portunity to Americans.
BY Gable to The Star.

BY Gable to The Star.
PARIS, March 4.-"The United
States hasn't realized the enormous
trade opportunities that will follow the
pacificatipn of India under the new
Irwin andhi agreement. The open
ing up and development Of India may
well provide prosperity during the next
so years for the whole civilized world,
but principally for America"
These assertions were made to this
correspondent yesterday by an English
business man recently returned from
India, who added: American f1nanciers
and manufacturers who have been
striving for years to open the markets
of Russia and China will find that India
offers a more fertile field, with far
greater security and much more i'm
mediate results"
Good Roads Numerous.
The informant drew a fantastic pic
ture of the opportunities that India Of
ferS American capital and manufac-
turerS. With vast, varied territory
and 800, 100000 inhabitants, only the
firing has as yet been touched by civil
1Zing influences, he said. Railways are
few and purely strategic, but good roads
are numerous, particularly in the ma
tive states, and future transportation
will be almost entirely by motor, offer
ing a market for scores OF American
cars annually.
He pictured many huge areas with
fertile ground and a population will
ing to work, now lying idle through
drought, although water is available by
boring and would transform this desert
into veritable garden. American en-
gineers will be needed to sink wells and
build dams to realize irrigation projects,
and American manufacturers to supply
=, the necessary pumps and machinery.
"Exaggeration should be avoided"
the informant continued, but / will
be willing to hazard guess that there
are already more electric refrigeratorS
in India than in all Euroue; yet the
surface of the market has hardly been
scratched. Such appliances, which are
regarded as a luxury In temperate CHI
mates, are a prime necessity in India,
and millions will be sold as soon as
the Indians can. possibly afford them.
Farmers Big Factor.
Textiles, shoes, iron pipe, sanitary
appliances, electrical goods, tools, agri-
cultural implements of all kinds and
machinery will go to India by ship
loads in the wake of credits for recla-
nation and development. Fear that
agricultural development there might
accentuate the difficulties of farmers
in other countries is discounted be-
cause of midas enormous capacity for
home consumption, now unSatiSfed.
Contrary to common belief" he
concluded, India is far from over
populated, and the population would
increase sharply with an increased food
supply, and the result would be con-
stantly increasing demands for for
eign manufactures"

STOCKS ARE LOWER
IN DRAGGY MARKET
Some Leading Issues De-
pressed to Record Marks
After Weak Opening.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, January 19-Selling
concentrated on q few specific issues
believed by the sellers to be in a vul-
nerable position, resulted in q lower
range of prices on the Stock Exchange
today. There were stocks and there
were groups which stood out against
the trend and the market as a whole
was never weak, but attention was d.
rected to the declines.
During the morning hours new lows
for the bear market were made by such
important stocks as Allied Chemical
Westinghouse Electric and Bethlehem
Steel. Bethlehem was selling lex" the
$3.50 quarterly dividend, payable Feb
ruary Is, which accounted for a part Of
the loss, but even so it was below any
thing of record this year and last.
Reasons for Selling
The reasons for pressure on these
three issues were the same as had
been advanced all along. Allied Chem
Hical it was claimed, was still selling on
too low a yield basis under present
conditions. Westinghouse Electric, it
was argued, in its market price was
appraising current earnings too liberal
ly: and Bethlehem Steel, it was reit-
Grated, was likely to make poor show
ing in its fourth quarterly income
statement.
The way in which Westinghouse re-
ceded before offerings encouraged a
similar attempt against General Elec-
trio, and that stock slipped of within
a fraction Of its previous low. Amer
lean Can was heavy, and United States
Steel fluctuated within a range of a
ally under Saturdays final.
Elsewhere in the list motor stocks
were steady and the rails irregular. The
cut in prices announced by the Ford
company Saturday was without affect
on the automobile shares. Nash and
General Motors were well supported and
the shorts in Auburn kept the price of
that stock around the previous close.
December railroad reports are due to
begin coming out within few days, but
anticipation of more unfavorable COM
parsons with results of year ago did
| not bring new liquidation into that
group.
Earnings Are Factor.
Trading in the market was almost en-
tirely professional and professional SEN
timent was bearish.
The ammunition most used was esti-
mates of 1880 earnings for those COM
panies which have not yet reported. In
some instances the predictions will
doubtless prove correct but in others
they are certainly wide Of the mark.
Two important operating utilities made
public their 1880 income accounts over
the week end. One was the Peoples
Gas & Coke Co., which showed $11 so
a share for the full year 1880 against
Sl197 q share for 1929 Net income in
1880 was $7i97,o72 against $6,782 $50
in 1929, the lower results per share be-
ing due to the larger number of shares
outstanding in 1880. This was. better
than had been expected. On the other
hand, Detroit-EdiSon showed q sub
Stantial falling OF in net for 1880 over
that for 1929. On a per share basis,
earnings last year were only S875
against SLIT in the previous IL
months.

-22ND ALARM
ONLY ONE COFFEE
IS ROASTED UNDER
SCIENTIFIC CONTROL
Hills Bros. Use Radically Diff
ferent, Patented Process to
Develop Finer Flavor

The housewife who cooks food in
small quantities to insure perfect
results will instantly recognize the
value of Hills Bros patented, con-
tinuous process-Controlled Roast
ing-as a means to develop the
utmost flavor in coffee.
Instead of the rare blend of
fine cotfees being roasted in bulk,
which is the ordinary method, only
few pounds at time are roasted.
These small quantities pass con-
tinuously through the Controlled
Roasters" in which heat and speed
of operation are automatically
controlled.
Because of this accurate control
of the flow of coffee and the heat,
every berry of the blend is roasted
evenly. None are overdone-none
are under roasted. This uniformity
is demonstrated in the cup of coffee
eventually made. 1t has a flavor
other coffees cannot equal because
they are not roasted the same way.
Hills Bros. Coffee is sold every
where by grocers. 1t comes to you
perfectly fresh because it is packed
in vacuum. This process extracts
air, which destroys the flavor of
coffee, from the can and keeps it
out. Ordinary cans, even if air
tight, do not keep coffee fresh. Ask
for Hills Bros. Coffee by name and
look for the Arab-the trademark
- on the can.
