It's use was described by c. P.

that saves lives. The big life-saving

ranging from so to rs per cent.
These humidities furnished air so
moist and sticky that doctors and

Is the per cent Of moisture in the air
as compared with the maximum
moisture the air can contain at Q

Comparing natural" humidities Of

ditioning humidities, Yaglou said

DALLAS, Tex, August 29.-Japan's
monopoly on camphor and its ability
to manipulate the camphor market
apparently has checked this coun-
try's feat of producing synthetic cam
phor, DR.. B. v. Christensen of the
University of Florida College Of
Pharmacy said here yesterday.
He told the American Pharmaceu-
tical Association Convention Amer
lean scientists produced synthetic
camphor, equal in every way to the
natural camphor of Japan, from oil
of turpentine. Yet it appears, he said,
that no matter how low the cost to
produce the synthetic product, the
cheapness of Japanese labor will en-
able that country to so control the
market as to make imported camphor
as cheap as the synthetic type.
Even though the Federal Govern
ment this Summer officially recog-
nized the synthetic product, it cannot
hope to cope with the natural product
obtainable only in Japan, because of
this economic situation, he said.
Establishment of research depart
ments in colleges was urged by George
D. Beal, Pittsburgh, last night in an
address that followed his installation
as president.

BALTIMORE. August 29-On tbs

County incorporated towns ofiicials
In Riverdale to protest the Maryland
Roads Commissions delinquent gaso-
line tax rebates the State board today
offered immediate cash allotments
Of one-third the sums due the COM
munties.

total of $30,501 for the current
fiscal year, the board inclosed bills"
to be served on the commission and
guaranteed immediate remittance. In
lieu Of cash allotments the board Of
fered roads repair work commensurate
with the communities credit.
Meeting to Be Held.
The action was prompted by the
County Board Of Commissioners on
August IS, when the Prince Georges
body requested the payment. A SIM
liar appeal had been made by the
county board last February.
The meeting of town officials, sched-
uled for Monday evening in the River
dale fire house, will be held despite
today's development, leaders declared.
Organizers of the gathering, to pro-
test non-payment Of funds due since
last October as prescribed by State
law, said they would mot be salts
fed until money Is received or work
started"
According to q 1888 law, Prince
Georges incorporated communities
should receive gasoline tax rebates
apportioned among the towns on a
75-per-cent- of assessment basis. The
law declares: there shall be allotted
to each incorporated town . sum
which bears the same proportion to
the total allotment of Prince Georges
County as the amount of the county
road tax related to said town in the
year 1882 bore to the total road fund"
Payments in 1882, before the State
took over maintenance Of county
roads, were prorated among the towns
on their assessible basis.
Agitated Several Months.
Wuudm a. COQQ, otdIe COMMISSION
auditor, today declared that another
third of the total debt will be paid
early in September, with final al
lotments to be made in October. The
county's overdraft on the commits
sion, now about $4,000, will be liqui-
dated before September 30, he said.
For several months, officials of
some incorporated communities, not
ably Berwyn Heights, have agitated
for the rebates. They have pointed
out the vital need" of road repair
work in the towns where highway
maintenance has been prevented by
lack of funds. Threats Of injunction
proceedings to force payment by the
State Commission have been made
by some officials.
