0bliging Officers Put
 Two Men in Hospital

BRYN MAWR, Pa, Feb. 22-Two policemen here did their daily good deed-and put two women in the hospital
 It seems the womans car was stalled at the top Of a hill and the policemen gave it friendly push, just a little one.
 The automobile careened down the incline, crashed into an electric light pole, snapped two high-ten- sion wires and plunged the neigh bcrhood in darkness.
 The crestfallen cops took the women 10 a hozp.tal.

Study of Malaria Goes
Forward With Canaries

ATLANTA.-Beneath the golden
feathers of the singing canary may
lie the secret of new methods of
treating malaria, according to the
theory Of Emory university medical
students.
Officials of Emory have an
nounced a $1,000 grant from the
Abbott Laboratories of North Chica-
go. H., to continue present research
work on canaries. DR.. Elizabeth
Gambrell, instructor in bacteriolo-
gy, will direct the research, which
was begun several months ago on a
preliminary $1,000 award from the
research organization.
DR.. Gambren said that the re-
search would be conducted on more
than so canaries. The canary is the
only animal known to be affected by
malaria in the same way as hSman
beings.

Build Fort for
War In & Hours
Army Officers See Dem
onstration Of Vacuum
Concrete Process.

WASHINGTON. - Before high
ranking army and navy officials and
foreign military attaches a new and
revolutionary method Of construct
ing concrete fortresses. bombproof
dugouts. and machine gun nests was
demonstrated at the bureau Of
standards.
The audience witnessed the con
struction of a 50-ton pill box fort
with a so-called vacuum" concrete.
The fort was ready for use four
hours after the concrete was poured.
Ordinarily it takes several days for
concrete to harden.
Point to Unusual Speed.
The process was used in the dem
onstration for the first time for mill
tary purposes. Witnesses agreed
that the fortress of the future. par
ticularly in those nations more in
terested in defensive than in often
sive warfare. viii take advantage Of
the unusual speed and strength pos
sible by means Of this most recent
development.
The process was invented by Karl
P. Bnlner Of New York city. II
has already been used to advantage
in the construction Of concrete
houses, in public highways, and for
other purposes, but it is expected to
be of special service in time Of war
By means of vacuum concrete,
oombproof shelters and fortresses
could be built in one evening and
harden and be ready for wardng
off attack at dawn on the following
morning, Billner said. Not only does
this new process save time in con
struction and otherwise. he added
but the resulting fortress is much
stronger than those of other types
and the cost of construction is less.
Standard Mix Used.
In the demonstration standard ce-
ment, sand and broken stone, mixed
with water. were poureS into forms
or molds at a. m. These forms
were of wood, although in standard
lied construction they probably viii
be of thin steel or aluminium sheets,
with the proper bracing, so as to
be very light and easily transport
able, in sections.
After the concrete mixture was
poured into the molds, the vacuum
process was applied and at l p. m.
the forms were removed.
Briefly, the vacuum process is a
method of removing from concrete,
after it has been placed in the
forms, all excess mixing water-the
water which has been added to
make the concrete liquid enough to
flow readily into the forms. Billner
explained.

CHARDON, OHIO.-CaH for West

professors and the Cleveland wealth
er bureau!
Chardon has mystery.
Al W. Timm doesn't need a
barometer A 55-year-old buckeye
tree in his front yard foretells ac-
curately within FIVE to six hours
when rain is coming. and has done
so for the last two years.
His neighbors actually depend on
this tree when planning picnics.
When rain is coming, although skies
may be cloudless, wet spots begin
to appear on the bark about two
feet from the ground, and they in
crease until the bark is wet all the
way to earth.
After the storm the tree becomes
dry and remains so until ready for
another forecast.
William Facey. who lives in the
Tirnm home, and Timm discovered
the phenomena. Charles Repp, re-
tired farmer and neighbor of
Timm, said recently that. in all his
long farm experience, he never had
seen anything like it.
The tree was struck by lightning
several years ago, and the course of
the lightning shows plainly Whether
this has anything to do with the
trees propensities is not known.
Maybe some of these college and
weather bureau scientists can figure
it out" Timm said. Il can't and
they're welcome to the problem"

ton Tax approximately 2 pei
cent? which will make the Plan
self-supporting- All pensioners
will be compelled to retire. AS
there are approximately Five Mil
lion Four Hundred Thousand wage
earners over SO years of age, this
will provide employment for the
same number of college and high
school graduates, which, together
with the increased spending power
creating a demand for more goods
of all kinds, which will start the
wheels of industry revolving once
more, it is estimated by Townsend
ties that more than Ten Million
youngsters will find employment,
but Mr.. Henry Ford has been
quoted as saying that, owing to the
fact that quite a few of the old
sters' will require someone to look
after them, Twelve Million will be
nearer the total number who will
find employment, and there are
many who agree with Mr.. Ford.
If one is skeptical concerning the
possibility of this Plan being more
than self-supporting, let him fig
ure out how many times pension
ers or wage-earner's dollar is turn
ed over each month in normal
times, adding Two Cents to its
value each and every time it
changes hands. I am confident he
will be very much surprised.
Another great advantage to the
government is the fact that it will
be receiving Taxes every month of
the year, instead of waiting six
months or a year, which will save
the government several Millions of
dollars annually by reduction of
interest. 1t will also close many
loop holes through which Tax Pay
ers, especially some of those in the
higher brackets, are managing to
crawl, under our present compli-
Gated form of taxation, as those
who purchase a $500 pair of silk
stockings must pay just double
the amount of taxes as is paid by
those who purchase S1.00 pair,
and those who purchase a $4,000
car must pay just ten times as
much as one who purchases a ST.
900 car, which is undoubtedly
just and fair distribution of Taxes.

Acting upon the above theory,
the state Of Washington, in April,
almost doubled the number of en-
ployes in their c. c. c. Camps, &C
cepting boys even under the us
ual age previously required. The
result has been far beyond their
most optimistic expectations, as
there was perceptible decrease in
juvenile delinquencies, hoodlumism,
and robberies throughout the State
within "a hours after the boys
went to camp, and a decrease of
more than 40 per cent within
thirty days.
If the above tests have produced
such gratifying results, is it I'm
reasonable to expect far greater
and more permanent results from
the DR.. Townsend Plan, which en-
braces all Of the more desirable
