Maryland Farm Museum
Started With Arrowheads

The Stars Special News Service.
EMMITSBURG, Nd. Sept. S.
Farmer John Eiker plowed up so
many Indian arrowheads that he
now has a two-room museum in his
farmhouse.
Like many pillow across the
American plains, the plows of John
and Jacob Eiker turned up arrow
heads and tomahawk heads as they
furrowed the earth.
Years ago, the Eikers began COL
lecting these relics. John became
interested in relics of all kinds and
began collecting them from all over.
He included trophies from Indian
life, the Revolution, the Civil War
and frontier days. That filled one
room.
Then he spent eight months in
Utah, and he brought back so many
mementoes that the museum filled
another room. Every item is carded
as to identify, use, and site of dis
covery.
In four years some 1,500 people
have come the five miles from the
nearest highway to see the Eiker
display. Sometimes entire school or
college classes tour the museum.
John takes them through personally,
without charge.

Chemical Society.
For five days they will hear pa
pers describing the latest develop

tetraethyl lead as an antiknock
agent for gasoline and is noted for
his work on refrigerants used in air
conditioning.
DR.. Karl A. Folkers, assistant di-
rector of research in the Merck
Laboratories at Railway, N. j., will
receive the $1,000 prize in pure
chemistry for his isolation of many
new erythrina alkaloids. These have
a paralyzing effect and are expected
to be of value in treating nervous

Much discussion will be devoted
to the part chemistry can play
in defense and warfare A talk on
this subject will be made Wednes-

The old question of what's the
difference between a chemist and a
chemical engineer is expected to be
settled once and for all when the
society's chemical education section
tackles it at a side meeting. Def
