After Many Failures, Exper.
imenter Will Try Again.

Los Angeles.-A persistent watch re-
pairman, whose attempts to escape the
earth's gravitational forces by means
of self-invented rockets have left a
string of failures from Germany to the
center of the Mojave desert, is build
ing another machine. He is confident
this one will reach an altitude Of $780,
900 feet.
The inventor, Maurice Poirier, Glen
dale jewelers. assistant, whose first
rocket exploded on its launching in
Germany in 1919, believes his newest
D-foot bullet-shaped contrivance will
be the forerunner of larger machine
capable Of crossing the American con-
tinent In five hours.
POirier, who gained considerable at
tention in 1880 when he launched q
rocket designed to reach the moon
from the Mojave desert, said his new
rocket would be propelled by secret
gas distilled from weeds grown in a
small section of Germany. His 1880
rocket sputtered a short distance into
the air and was shattered by an ex-
plOSi0n.
Flew Rocket Three Times.
In 1925 he completed small con-
trivance, propelled by gunpowder, and
successfully flew it for ten miles on
three separate occasions. At public

His new rocket, costing about $780,

machine shop somewhere in Los An

but will resemble bullet 8 feet long
with "fenders" on both sides.

to permit the gas to explode under nor

atmospheric conditions in the strato-
sphere and the mysterious layer Of
ionized gases which lies beyond will be
contained in the rocket. he said.
Poirier, owner of a Canadian ranch
on which he hopes to grow the weeds
from which his fuel gas is distilled,
says he dreams Of perfecting, eventual
ly, a rocket capable of maintaining
a speed of $4,000 miles an hour.
In explaining the weed gas Poirier
said 1t was discovered by accident by
a German druggists helper, who
sought to fill prescription and joined
the two chemicals by error. The in
ventor said the weed gas contracting

FARMERS TAXED
HEAVIEST OF ALL

WASHINGTON, Oct. 13.-U.P)-
New England farmers carry a $50
per cent heavier tax burden on
their acreage than they did prior
to the World War, according TO the
federal Bureau of Agricultural Ec-
onomics.
A survey of 1000 farms in that
area showed an increase of approx
imately that amount over the IT.
year period from 1913 to 1880, or
from Al cents to $1,02 an acre. The
rise was most marked in Connec-
ticut, where the $1.61 tax two years
ago was 202 per cent higher than
before the war. Massachusetts paid
the highest average tax in 1890
SLIP per acre, or 140 per cent above
1913 levels.
Results of the New England sur
vey correspond closely With those
of an earlier study of the North
Central region. Tax increases in
that group of states ranged from
lao per cent in the eastern dis
trict to Isl per cent in the western.
The bureau plans to continue the
surveys and eventually to cover the

CHILE SWAPPING
SILVER TO Get
PAPER CURRENCY

SANTIAGO, Chile, Oct. 13.-U.P,
The Chilean mint has decided
to export its stock of silver for
coinage purposes in order to inn
port ink and paper for further
fiscal note issues, as more money
can be made" with the latter.
Some 5000 Kilograms of fine
silver from the state mint will be
shipped to the United States in ex-
change for $4,000 shipment of
bank note paper, the special litho-
graphic and engraving inks re-
qulred, and also spare parts for
the official currency presses.
This eliminates an acute small
change crisis in Chile. Small coins
of every description are disappear
ing rapidly, the working people be-
lieving that the nickel in them is
worth something at this time, when
the repeated paper issues have de-
preciated the peso to a fraction
, of its former worth.
With the disappearance of the
standard semi-silver peso which
was bought up at a premium by
spectators, the mint issued a new
smaller coin, with only small por-
tion of silver in its composition,
but as these have begun to dis
appear as mysteriously as their
predecessors, one and two peso pa
per notes are to be printed instead.
In part, this also accounts for the
resolution of the mint 10 market
its silver stocks for the accessories
of note printing.
Some significance is attached by
political observers to the fact that
the new metallic peso recently is
sued is only little larger than
the standard 20 cent piece, and
they see in the new coin the 20
cent piece of the future, thus MAX
ing an 80 per cent depreciation
of the currency. p.

SURGERY GIVES
new HAND FOR
MANNED CHILD


COLORADO SPRINGS, Col
Oct. 13. U.P)-Because modern sur
gerry can perform miracles, 19-
month-old Doris johnson will have
new hand.
She fell into pile of hot ashes,
as she walked, unsteadily, in the
yard of her fathers ranch home,
at Worland, Wyo.
For weeks she suffered terrible
agony from the burns. One hand
was so badly burned that when it
was unbandaged, weeks later, only
a stump remained. The flesh of
the fingers had grown together.
Infection set in.
The johnson are not wealthy.
They did not have money for great
surgeons and for operations.
But a Methodist minister, who
saw the child, intervened.
He got in touch with authorities
at Bethel hospital, here, and
asked if perhaps there was not
some doctor who would be willing
to save that little girl, by building
her new hand, without pay.
He found there were quite a few
of those sort of doctors.
So Bethel agreed to aid, and
Doris was brought here.
The baby went under ether, and
the surgeons split the tiny fingers
apart, broke the twisted bone and
reset it straight, and, one by one,
made the twisted little fingers
whole again.
Soon they will perform another
operation. Skin will be grated on
the hand and fingers to hide the
hideous scars left by the flames,
and in another year or SO no one
ever will be able to tell that Doris
once had no hand.
