Westinghouse heavy share of

United States as the result of new
taxes enacted during the past two
years.
Revenue of more than $250,000,-

the excise tax passed by congress
at its last session and which levies

-1ck peoples breath because it is
sweet"
The witch Is able to take the
form of various animals flying
through the air or living under the
earth. Favorite forms are those of
the raven and earthworm. When
travelling about at night, Olbrechts
was informed, a witch frequently
goes through the air as a flame or
a moving light.
The visit of suspected witch to
a house where one of the inmates
Is Ill is countenanced with frantic
fright. 1t is the practice for several
relatives or friends of the patient
to watch the bedside during the
night to guard against witchcraft.
The watchers are apprised of the
coming of witch by dropping pow
dered tobacco on hot ashes. Any
particle of the dust catching fire in
dicates by its position the direction
from which the witch is coming. II
the dust alights on the center Of
the ashes ii is sign that the witch
Is directly overheard and should the
tobacco catch fire with an explosive
sound it means that the dreaded
creature is In the room. In this
case the explosion will cause the
death of the witch within q few
days.
The most effective protection
against witchcraft, Olbrechts was
informed. is to shoot the witch with
bullet around which hair from the
crown of the head has been wound
"A custom which may have been
borrowed in part from the white
mountaineers. In order to do this ii
is necessary to see the malevolent
being In its regular human form
which can be done by fasting until
sunset for seven days and drinking
an infusion of a shrub to which, ii
is believed, the witches themselves
owe their power in part Even mere
recognition is likely to be fatal to
the witch.

Gas Also Effective in Other
Respiratory Ills.

LondOn.-Carbon diOxide, the gas
that makes the bubbles in soda wa
ter, is being used as a remedy for
who0ping cough.
The treatment of one of the most
distressing and intractable of the
minor maladies attacking infant life
is the result of long series of ex-
periments with carbon diOxide car
ried out by two British specialists
in infantile complaints.
Their new treatment does not de-

can be handled by any ordinary
practitioner.
Carbon dioxide is mixed with oxy-
gen in the proportion of seven parts
of carbon dioxide TO ninety-three OF
oxygen.

May Find Corn That Will
Withstand Heat and Cold

Some strains of yellow dent corn
that are resistant 10 cold will also
Withstand more heat than corn that
is not cold-resistant, the United
States Department OF Agriculture
announces. The resistance to both
heat and cold is due to the higher
proportion of bound water in the
corn plant, the department says.
The experiments indicating the
heat-resisting quality of corn were
made In cooperation with the Illi-
nois agricultural experiment sta
ton.
The corn specialists give the wa
ter in the white Of an egg as an ex-
ample of bound water, while that in
a sponge is free water. Bound wa
ter forms a part Of the plant. Plants

damage because the heat cannot
draw so much of the moisture from
the plant and it can thus endure
more heat. In cold weather the cold
cannot so easily freeze the water
In the plant into ice crystals, thus
breaking up the cell structures.
Bound water thus accounts for both
heat and cold resistance.
The experiments showed that
heat-resistant plants increased their
bound water capacity with success
i've heat and drought spells. They
also found that if the heat came on
gradually the corn was hardened to
1t and held more bound water and
withstood more heat.
Although the heat-resistance and
cold-resistance studies are several
steps ahead of the general farmer,
the department points out that the
discovery means that eventually i'm
proved strains of corn will be pro-
duced that will tend to resist heat
as well as cold.

This is an epoch-making discov-
cry in the treatment of diseases of

Carbon dioxide already is an es-
tablished remedy for pneumonia.
but its successful application to
whooping cough will in itself great
ly reduce the cases of pneumonia,
bronchitis and influenza which often
follow whooping cough and take
such heavy toll of child life"
The basis of the carbon dioxide
treatment is that it irritates the air
passages and causes the removal of
the disease particles with which
they are clogged.
Doctors believe that the new
treatment will be successful in most
forms of the common cold.

New Fertilizer to
Use Ammonia, Peat
U. S. Chemists Say Manu-

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture -WNU Service.
Ammoniated peat, new fer
tilizer material, has been devel-
oped In the laboratories of the De
partment of Agriculture. 1t seems
TO combine many of the good fea-
lures of the two familiar types Of
nitrogen-carrying fertilizers. 1t has
not been developed commercially
yet, but chemists of the department
say that the manufacturing proc
ess Is simple and relatively inexpen-
sive and that the commercial pro-
duction of ammoniated peat offers
opportunity for material saving in
freight on fertilizers. Small scale
experiments with plants have given
promising results.
By heating ammonia and peat un-
der pressure, about two-thirds Of
the reacting ammonia is changed to
chemical combinations that are not
soluble in water. These forms are
generally similar to the heterogeneous
fertilizer materials in cottonseed
meal and animal tankage. Rough
ly third of the ammonia remains
in water-soluble forms. Depending
on temperature, the peat may be
ammoniated to contain up to 20 per
cent of nitrogen. A 20 per cent
product would thus contain in each
hundred pounds nearly half as
much quick-acting nitrogen as 100
pounds of sodium nitrate and would
at the same time contain about
twice as much slower-acting nitro
gen as 100 pounds of cottonseed
meal. In other words, 100 pounds
Of 20 per cent ammoniated peat
would be roughly equivalent to 200
pounds OF cottonseed meal plus so
pounds Of sodium nitrate. The prod
uct could be shipped with notable
savings In freight and with notable
advantage in combining the good
features of both the slow-act-
Ing and the quick-acting nitro
gen carriers. The raw peat Is of
relatively little value as nutri-
tive ingredient in fertilizer, but Is
recognized as highly desirable ele-
ment in mixed fertilizers because of
its value as a conditioner and be-
cause it supplies to the soil a desir-
able form of organic matter.

Use for Dairy By-Products

The new method of manufactur-
ing casein that originated in the bu-
reau of dairy industry has been
adopted by seven New England fac
tories, according to the report by
Chief Reed to the secretary of agri-
culture. Two of the factories using
the new grain-curd method of max
ing casein received IL cents more
per pound than factories using the
older and more common method of
making sulphuric casein. Through
cooperation with other agencies the
bureau Of dairy industry has found
two new possible outlets for lactose,
or milk sugar. One is in the manu-
facture of certain types of confec-
tionery; the other in the manufac-
ture of explosives.

to be higher when the figures for

From figures obtained from all

raising the tax on gasoline has
been favorite means of provid-

some states this levy has been
pyramided to the point where the
gasoline tax amounts to IL cents a

Lights of New York ~ Ts vabTrn

Oil and other large companies
have their own airplanes, which
they use for advertising purposes
and to transport officials on hurried
business trips. The head of one of
these companies decided to take his
first trip in d company plane and,
never having flown the head man
before, the pilot was a bit excited
about it and wanted to make a good
impression. He showed the passen-
ger the working parts of the plane
and explained to him about his par
achute. When the time came for
the take-off, he turned to the pas
senger behind him and said:
when we get to the mountaiAs
we may have to fly pretty high. You
are not used to that and may feel
the altitude, but that is the oxygen
tank right beside you. I'll look back
to see how you are doing and, If
you seem to be feeling the height,
I'll call to you and all you have to
do is to work that little handle"
Everything went smoothly until
they began to get pretty high and
then the pilot looked back. The
passenger looked a little greenish,
so the pilot jerked his thumb in the
direction of the tank and yelled
Pump" Then he turned back to
his job. A little jolt or something
caused him to look back again
There was no passenger. The boss
had understood the pilot to yell
Jump" and had bailed out. He
had succeeded in pulling the ring,
and there he was far below float
ing down toward the sic" of the
mountain.
There was no place the pilot could
land around there and nothing he
could do. He gave the ship the
gas and made for the nearest pos
sible landing place. There he got
an automobile and a search party.
1t took him almost day to find
the boss and one day to induce him
to get back into the plane.
