GASOLINE FROM COAL

Pessimists over the future supply
of gasoline may take heart. England
is making a ton of gasoline out of
four tons of bituminous coal by the
hydrogenation process. Germany and
America likewise know how to do it.
The advance in England has made
hat country feel less dependent on
outside sources of gasoline.
A plant at Dillingham; is working
twenty-four hours day with a daily
output of 10000 gallons. Produc-
ton is expected to reach 100000
gallons a year. Coal mines along
the northeastern coast of England
are thriving and the miners jubilant
over new market for their labor,
England did not make its discoy-
cry over night. Preceding the per-
lection of the INCORPORATION process
much money and time were spent in
research. In eight years S20,000,-
300 were spent on experiments in the
laboratory. The proof that such
time and money were not wasted is
in the valuable and practical results
attained.
This ought to answer the skep les
of college alumni and others as to
the value of research work in edu-
cational institutions.

LOVING AND SERVING JESUS
Evangelist John Moses Baker
Baltimore, Maryland

owing and serving the Master;
With all CT your heart be His own.
Faithful all of His precepts,
And some day to make Heaven
your home.
Oh promise to meet me up yonder,
Where the streets are all paved
with pure gold.
Oh l have a glad story to tell you;
IT'S story that never grows old.
Scmc day on the wings of an angel,
To be carried to realms Of delight;
Where loved ones are waiting to
greet us,
In that city where cometh no night.
Now out on life's ocean and sailing,
Bound for that evergreen shore,
We will anchor at last in that harbor,
Where storm clouds shall come
nevermore.
Happy, so happy in Jesus
Redeemed by the Blood of the
Lamb.
He is mine now forever and ever,

Oh the warfare will soon now be
over,
Every battle be fought and be won,
Soon the Master will call US from
labor,
And say to the faithful well

VITAL TO THE PUBLIC WELFARE

The cost of food is the largest
single item in the average family
budget. And, the lower the total
family income, the higher becomes
the proportion needed for food.
Any sound means of reducing re-
tail food prices, thus liberating
money for other purposes, is obvious
ly in the interest of the entire coun-
try. II is in the interest of the con-
sumner who, if his food costs him less,
will have more to spend for other
4, necessities. If foods are cheaper
the consuming market is auto
matically increased.
1t is in the interest OF every in
! dus.ry, which will receive it's share
of the money liberated. The man
who cuts his food budget. for ex-
ample; may use months savings to
purchase wearing apparel, etc.
Much progress has already been
made in reducing the spread between
wholesale and retail food prices by
doing away with needless overhead
and. .middleman costs. Much re-
mains to be done, and progressive
food retailers are working on the
problem. Today, with food prices
tending to rise much faster than the
average income, that work becomes
constantly more vital to the public
welfare.

ADV ANCE IN
HEALTH PRESERVATION

More than 1000 professional pub
lie health workers attended the 64th
annual meeting of the American Pub
tic Health Association held in Mil
xaukee, Wis, during the second
week in October, 1885.
Reports at the meeting show that
the science of preserving health has
made remarkable strides since the
association was founded in 1871.
achievements in prophylaxis during
he past quarter of century have
)een remarkable, especially in COM
nunicable diseases such as yellow
ever, smallpox, typhoid and diph-
IBERIA, which appear to be reaching
he vanishing point in the United
States. Within the past three
lecades the death rate from tuber-
ulosis has declined about rs per
cent, and children's diseases, except
infantile paralysis and mental all
nents, are now comparatively harm
ess, vital statistics show.
1t was also reported that during
he past twenty-five years the death
rate caused by disease has steadily
declined-so much so that between
the years of 1911 and 1888, the av-
erage expectancy of life has risen
rom So to 613 years.

November /, 1885


Midland Journal
Rising Sun, Maryland
Dear Mr. Editor:
In yaur issue CT November /, 1885
under Red Cross Roll Call, You state
that part of this money is used to-
ward the salary of the Public Health
Nurse; for the purchase of braces for
children TO and from cl mics in Balti-
mere and tO the sanatorium. This is
an error as far as Cecil County is
concerned. The Red Cross does not
contribute any money toward the
Public Health Nurse nor any othe"
health activities in Cecil County and
do not transport children for the
Health Department to clinics in Bal
timore or patients 20 the sanator.um-
In 1881 the Cecil County Red
Cross did donate S25000 toward
school dental work and some won-
derful results were obtained The
Health Department appreciated th.1
help and regret the Red Cross could
not continue this financial coopera-
ton as we have not been able to do
any dental work since due to lack of
funds.
We believe the Red Cross Rot Call
is an excellent organization, but DO
not wish the people of the County to
get the wrong impression. The
Health Department is supported
wholly by the State Board of Health;
tie County, through the Board of
County Commissioners; and, the
town of Elkton, through the town
commissioners.

Very truly yours,
CLINTON KANE, M. D.,

ford County, the Red Cross does
furnish a nurse. but not in Cecil

COTTON SUFFERS
MARKED SETBACK
FORCES Ahead in Early Part
of Week, but Sells Off
Sharply Later.
By the Associated Press.

oy Iuc ASSUCldtcu ElcSo
NEW YORK, July 6.-The cotton
futures market forged ahead quietly
during the first half of the week, only
to suffer a sharp break yesterday.
Business was restricted by the holiday.
The advance carried July to 1918
and March to 11.S3, but reactionary
sentiment seemed to develop around
the 12-cent level October contracts,
which had sold up to 11.8o on We'd
nesday, declined to 11.47 yesterday and
closed at 11.52, compared with 11.53
a week ago.
Buying was attributed to smaller
figures on acreage under cultivation.
Private estimates ranged from 28,690,-
900 up to 29,443 900 acres and figured
the crop at from 10000. 900 to IL ,031,-
900 bales. The Government report on
acreage under cultivation as of July l
will be released on Monday.
Reports from the primary cloth mar
ket have been little more encourag-
ing, with indications of an increased
demand toward the end of the week.
Traders followed the Washington re-
ports of additional court actions
against processing taxes with a good
deal of interest, but there were no new
developments to throw fresh light on
the question Of Government crop loans
for this year.

ID. C.. Detectives Set Record BY
Working Year on Single Case

For months the squad operated
without results. Lead after lead failed
TO develop anything tangible 1t was
q heartless grind with little encour-
agement.
Today there are five persons in Jail
in connection with the case and two
others, implicated by those under ar
rest, have died violent deaths. One
was shot by Lorton Prison guard
and the other committed suicide in a
police cell.
Since the case occurred in Mary
land, the prisoners are held in the
Rockville Jail awaiting the presenta-
ton of their cases to a grand jury.
Police claim sufficient evidence to as
sure indictment, but the squad is
still working gathering up the final
threads of the web in which they ex-
pect to enmesh the actual murderers
and their accomplices.
Why has the District Of Columbia
spent thousands of dollars to solve a
case over which it has no juriSdic-
ton?
Because the murder occurred just
across the District line and local po-
lice authorities saw in 1t connection
with the local gambling situation
which they could not afford to over
look.
They believe the time of three Of
the most valuable men in the Police
Department has been well spent and
that their action in solving a case
which could have been overlooked by
them altogether has been just as
worth while as If the entire matter
had originated in Washington.

Three Washington detectives have
established what is believed to be a
record for length Of time spent on q
single case, a murder which occurred
out of this jurisdiction.
Since October %. 1884, Leuts. John
H. Fowler and Floyd A. Truscott and
Detective Sergt. Earl Hartman have
spent almost their entire time in the
investigation of the murder in Ia
koma Park, Md. of Allen 3. Wilson.

taken for Mickey" Mcdonald by a
gang of gamblers.
The three detectives have travelled
over a greater part of the United
States from here to Texas, the trip
to that State being made in an auto
mobile. They ran down hundreds Of
useless clues because they were afraid
to overlook a single tip" and they
Travelled thousands of miles.
Not only has this trio spent more
than a year in the investigation Of
the case, but the squad also has de-
parted from routine in that it reports
directly to Maj Ernest w. Brown,
superintendent Of police, rather than
to the head of the Detective Bureau.
The squad is ready to leave town
upon the shortest possible notice and
remains for prolonged periods. Men,
bers do not have to report at roll calls
while they are on this assignment
and are practically free to follow their
own leads.

Catholic Father Sentenced fol
Claiming Document Gave
Papen Presidency.

BERLIN R.-An obscure trial In
the Rhineland has brought TO public
notice rumors current after President
Won Hindenburg's death In August,
1894, that his will was altered.
A Catholic priest, Father Ebers, was
sentenced to seven months In prison
for telling school teacher that the
old field marshaTs confidential man,
Franz Won Papen, former chancellor,
and not Adolf Hitler, was to have
been Hindenburgs successor as Presi-
dent.
Don't you know. I" the school teacher
testified Father Ebers said. that
Hindenburg's will was falsified? Not
Hitler, but Won Papen, was to be Hin
denburg's successor, and they pushed
him of TO Vienna"
Won Papen was sent to Vienna as
minister to Austria shortly before the
President died.
The school teacher said he had
tried to get the priest to change his
latitude Of hostility to the Nazi
state"
