jolted them rudely into protracted
pickering.
In early February. under the aegis
of q vaudeville promoter, they left for
Chicago on q good will" tour which
ended with their appearance on stages
of the Middle West.
Premier Mitchell F. Hepburn lashed
out against the tour. IT'S a dis
grace: it's cheap, and we are going
to try and save the children from
such humiliation If possible"
Olivia Dlonne countered by retain
ing an attorney to force the Ontario
government to remove the state guar
dians and release portion of the
estimated 100000 estate of the
quintuplets to him.
I'VE have 10 children" said Mrs.
Dionne, land we are not in favor of
having five of them millionaires while
their little brothers and sisters are
brought up in comparative poverty"
When the Ontario Legislature con-
sidered bill to make the quintuplets
wards of his majesty the King" the
Dionne anger boiled over again.
I'VE always thought we were living
In q free country" said the father.
But it doesn't look like that now. 7
wonder how far North we would have
to 60 to be free"
The lieutenant governor signed the
bill making the King responsible for
the babies until they reach the age
Of 10.
The estate mounted to an estimated
s151,1s7 between July is. 1884, and
March 81, 1895, and the allowance
of father Dionne was boosted to 500

trio Wiring.

Commencing tomorrow, the White
House will be closed to visitors until
about the middle of September to
have a modern electric wiring sys-
tenn installed throughout and eliminat-
ing every other possible fire hazard.
In announcing this yesterday, 1t
was explained that during the period
of the closing President and Mrs.
Roosevelt will be out of the city.
The work of removing the old wire
system, most of which was installed
during McKinley's and Theodore
Roosevelt's administrations, will cost
trifle under s60.000. the contract
having been given to H. p. Foley con-
tractor. Of this city. the lowest bid

vision of Capt. Edwin P. Locke. Corps

This innovation followed report
made recently to the President by the
Federal Fire Council, after making
thorough inspection of the White
House to determine what should be
done to remove existing fire hazards.
In addition to the installation of new
electric wiring, modern system of
automatic fire detection will be in
stalled.
Mrs. Roosevelt, while discussing the
electric wiring in the Presidents home
few days ago, described the house
as being a fire trap because of the
artiQuated wiring and lack of some
sort Of fire-detecting system. When
the modern kitchen was installed In
the White House last year. most of
the ancient wiring in the basement
floor was thrown out and new wiring
installed.

More than 1900 city lads and their
country cousins today looked forward
to a month of khaki-clad army life
at Fort George Meade, Nd. where,
yesterday and day before, they peeled
off countless polo shirts, knickers, over
alls and dungarees. to emerge from the

make them.
A number were from Washington.
They arrived by motor cycle, bicycle
train, autos-some with chauffeurs and
afoot. But the Government foots the
bills.
Upwards of 100 others will be going
back home today. They didn't quite
make the grade. Every entrant has
to pass a physical exam, and fairly
definite percentage fails to pass. mostly
because of heart trouble, fiat feet, bad
teeth or poor eyes.

BALTIMORE, July s.-Five cases of
Rocky Mountain spotted fever. result
ing in three deaths. have been re-
ported in Maryland this year. DR.. c. H
Halliday. State epidemiologist, said
today.
The proportion of deaths Is a little
higher than usual, he said. However,
one of them was that of an elderly per-
son and another of child az years
old, and the malady is always more
serious for those in the extremes of
age, he added.
The disease Is carried by ticks and
transmitted by their bites. It was
prevalent during the Summer of 1884,
although there are always a few cases.
The cases reported this year were
from Carroll, Montgomery, Hartford
and Cecil Counties and from the vicin-
ity of Laurel, in Prince Georges
County.
A Mount Airy woman also died of
what may have been spotted fever, al
though there Is some doubt about the
diagnosis in this case, DR.. Halliday
said.

SCIENCE RESEARCH
AIDS CROP OUTLETS
Industrial Use of Farm Prod.
ucts Result of Inten.
sive Studies.

Years Of scientific research are be-
hind the idea of the industrial USE
OF farm crops as raw materials, writes
L. F. Livingston in Scientific Ameri-
can. World changes in agriculture
are tending to make nations more and
more self-sustaining, which means
that we must broaden our markets at
home. One way to do this is by cul-
tivating on American soil those agri-
cultural raw materials We now I'M
port. The other way is by finding
new uses for our crops in our manu-
featuring industries. We are follow
ing both of these methods of devel-
opment.
Soy beans furnish the almost per-
feet example. Introduced in this
country over q century ago from
China, they were first grown in the
South. Acreage was limited and the
beans were fed mainly to hogs, re-
gardless Of the fact that soy-bean
oil was being imported from China
for use in the paint industry. Then
research tackled the problem and a
wholly different story may be told to-
day.
Soy Beans Increase.
In 1885, almost 5,500,000 acres in
27 States were planted to SOY beans
alone. This was an increase of one
third over 1884. Almost 100000
pounds of American produced soy
bean oil was used by industry. About
half nf this inf he
of paint and varnish. The balance
went into soaps, linoleum and OIL
cloth, printing inks, edible COM
pounds and various other industrial
products including automobiles. Gear
shift knobs, engine distributor covers.
ornamental door handles and other
parts of automobiles are now being
made out of soy-bean meal. Chemists
have found more than 800 possible
uses for 1t.
In 1920 two-thirds OF the casein
used by American industries was i'm
ported. BY 1884. all but per cent
of the needs for this dairy by-product
was being supplied by home pro-
ducers, who. with chemical and en-
g!neering aid. found it possible to
compete with the dairymen of Az
gentina and elsewhere.
Many Uses Of Cotton.
Through chemical conversion into
Cellulose, the uses of cotton have he
come literally hundreds. Cotton seeds.
once a waste. now have a value Of
over 5000, 100000 in a cotton crop of
$3.50 100000. Cottonseed oils. hulis.
linters, meal and cake. all have be-
come valuable materials Coated
fabrics. such as "Fabrikoid." consume
cotton by the millions of pounds.
Cotton enters into the manufacture
Of ccmentS for leather, textiles and
paper; into water-p -proofing compost
tions. smokeless powder. gun cotton,
blasting gelatin. coal mine explosives,
toilet articles, electric insulatorS, mo-
ton picture film. golf balls and
Women's fngernail polish. The list is
almost endless.
Rayon is perhaps the outstanding
example of chemically wrought
change in a raw material. This first
man-made textile fiber, while it might
be said to compete with cotton, at
the same time really is cotton meta
morphosed, And as rayon 1t has
taken its place in fields where cotton
as such never has entered. In the
aggregate, it is said, that the chemist
has added $40 per bale to the normal
time value of the cotton crop.
