Raleigh, Sept. New uses for
vermiculite, a variety of mica which
expends or enfoliates when heated,
indicate a wider market for this min
eral which is present in, large amount
in North Carolina, State Geologist H.
J. Bryson announced today. The use
of vermiculite as. an insulator of heat
and sound is well known, according
to the State geologist, but recently de-
velopments have shown that vermi-
cutie is very effective when used as
a cold storage insulation.

that a small brewery, in which such
insulation has been installed, now
needs only Is percent of the refriger-
alton coils designed for the original

with plaster made up of vermiculite
and cement, or water glass with other
filters and fibers, and the starting
and fermenting rooms are insulated
in the sails and ceiling by loose
film, except the outer walls, which
are coated with vermiculite cement
mixture.

vermiculite plaster, waterproofed and

Heat and sound insulators have
been made from vermiculites found
in North Carolina. However, only the
best grades of vermiculite can be
utilized in these materials Vermcul-
ties cen be utilized in the manufac-
ture of wall paper, tar roofing, in
the manufacture of paints, and as a
substitute for clay in the manufac-
ture of lead pencils. The future pos
sibilities are great for the develop

With our well-known American
enthusiasm, we took up the new game

President Roosevelt and Congress
designated "a Of them-naval and

foreign cameras are as unwelcome as
are American cameras in Japan. To
the Army and Navy that seemed a
much-needed step, but to the average
American all this spy business looked
like rather amusing nonsense.
Then came the startling events of
July. On July 3. in Los Angeles, q
Federal Jury convicted Harry Thomas
Thompson, a former American naval
officer, Of selling confidential informa-
ton about the United States fleet to
a Japanese secret agent for $700. On
July 6 he was sentenced to Is years
in prison. Just a week and a day
later former Lieut.. Comdr. John s.
Farnsworth, Annapolis graduate, was
arrested in Washington, accused OF
selling a valuable naval publication to
a japanese agent. Farnsworth denied
the charges and was held for trial.
On July 18, on board the aircraft car
rier Saratoga, man was arrested On
q charge of making notes in code.
In Washington it was announced
that the Department Of Justice was
cooperating with the Army and
Navy intelligence services In investi-
eating SOY cases and there might be
a further roundup. That rather

TOKIO.-War on a really large
scale between Japan and
China Is nearer today than it

b1 RAM n. nEDuES.
on a really large
scale between Japan and
China Is nearer today than it
u has been at any time since
the conclusion of the treaty of Shi-
monoseki, in April. 1895, whereby the
first Sino-Japanese War was liqui-
dated.
The situation between these two
countries is more critical than it has
been all through the last five years,
when their relations were far more
spectacular than is the case today
and therefore attracted much greater
attention from the world.
If such a war should come now, it
would not be a clean sweep through
China for the arms of Japan, but a
desperately contested struggle, with
Japan gaining the technical victory,
but so exhausting itself that, eco
nomically and in other respects, the
nation would suffer a setback for a
decade or longer. II Japan fights

Real Possibility of War.
This correspondent is no war mon
ger. nor does he see an outbreak Of
Sino-Japanese hostilities in the near
future as inevitable. But it would be
folly to close the eyes to the very real
possibility of war taking place before
this year has ended.
All through the Winter months the
world watched the Russo-Japanese
situation with apprehension, fearing
war might break out in that quarter.
There was grave likelihood that 1t
might do so, but relations between
these two nations have eased greatly
since the end of March. The belli-
cose sentiments that existed on both
sides of the Japan Sea have subsided
and the Toxic and Moscow govern
ments are in much stronger control
of their troops actually in the field.
the point at which the real danger
lay.
Open friction between Japan and
China also is less than it was a half
dozen months and more ago. There
is no single major issue about which
Toxic and Nanking are now quarrel
ing. But the fundamentally important
factor. the one where danger lies, is
that the Nanking government, is so
rapidly strengthening itself and that
China Is at last making such great
progress toward becoming a strong
and unified nation that the war party
In Japan may feel it must strike now
or never-may feel that If q few
years more are let slip by China will
have reached the point where Japan
may not be able to defeat it on the
field Of battle.

Japan missed its great chance In
1881 and 1882 to challenge Russia to

day since then has seen strengthen
ing of Russia as military power in
the Far East. Except when a reck-
less, desperate mood overcomes them,
the japanese are very cautious and
calculating before willing to act Every
possible factor must be weighed and
its bearing ascertained, and then ac-
ton comes quickly. In the case OF
Soviet Russia, granting the thesis
that sooner or later Japan and Russia
must fight, this ultra caution has
proved detrimental to Japan and its
grand opportunity to strike a telling
blow at Soviet power and influence in

DUNNANSWERS
PROTESTS ON
CURB COSTS

ALEXANDRIA, Va, Aug. 13.
Replying to reports that citizens
were preparing to enter a fight
against an assessment charge of
$1.85 per foot for curbing and
gutter, while other citizens we're
paying only 85 cents per foot,
City Manager E. c. Dunn said
today that property owners
affected by such assessments
were not adequately informed.
These protests, Mr.. Dunn ex-
planned, are based on the false
belief that the $1.85 charge is for
curbing and gutter work only,
whereas this assessment also in
cludes the property owners por-
tion of the expense involved in
resurfacing the streets.
Where only curbing and gutter
work is done, the rate has been
approximately IS cents per foot
for the past several years, but
where the streets have to be re-
surfaced the rate varies according
to the width of the street.
Under a city ordinance, the ad-
ditional cost of resurfacing a
street is borne by the city and the
property owners on either side of
the street dividing the remaining
one-third.
This work now being done by
the city could not be done for a
lower cost, according to Mr.. Dunn.
The manager added that citizens
of the city had paid as high as
$3.50 per foot for the same class
of work.
Streets in the city proper, which
are mostly 40 feet in width, are
resurfaced to the extent Of 27 feet
by the city, while those in some
sections of the suburbs which are
only 20 feet wide are entirely re-
surfaced by the city and therefore
the property owners on the narrow
streets only have to pay an assess
ment on the curbing and gutter.
