NECESSARIES PLACED UNDER U. S. CONTROL

Emergency Administration is Being Built Up to Handle Affairs During Crisis.

Will Name Committee

President Harding Will Select Board To Aid I. C. C. in Executing Orders.

“BLUEBEARD S CHAMBER” London.—The government room in which sis sealed tfye war diaries of general officers is called “Bluebeard’s Chamber.” The diaries may not be published for 25 years.

Washington, July 27 — Wartime measures were in effect coday as the interstate commerce commission holding that a national emergency exists beccvuse of the rail and coal strikes, assumed a sweeping control of railroad rolling stock and took over direction of the distribution of food, fuel and other necessaries required to sustain the life of the nation. By declaring a national emergency—an unprecedented step in peace times—the commission has powers rivaling those exercised by the government when it took 1 over the railroads during the war. The government today was building up an emergency administration similar to the wartime food and fuel administrations, which will aid the commission in carrying out its extraordinary powers. President Harding today or tomorrow will appoint a “presidential committee,” to be composed of representatives of the interstate commerce commission and the departments of commerce, justice, and interior, which will co-operate with the commerce commissioji in the issuance of the priorities and other orders designated to secure an equitable distribution of necessaries and to prevent profiteering. This committee will be in touch with the situation throughout the country and will make recommendar tions to the commerce commission. To Check Profiteers Reports of profiteering in coal will come to this committee, which will order investigations by a newly organized department of commerce price reporting organization and will take steps to deny cars to any mine owner found charging exorbitant prices. Profiteering by retail coal dealers may be checked by routing coal only to those who will sell at fair prices. The commission’s power is virtually absolute for in outlining a system of priorities for the shipment of coal the commission has declared that class 1, the shipments under which take priority over everything else, shall be those especially ordered by

it.

In addition to the presidential committee an administrative committee to be composed of representatives of the former committee, the railroads, the coal operators and the larger consumers will be named. Then carrying out the wartime food and fuel administration plan, loc^l and dis-*-rtr\w> w> 4L-f-r-xo rv-£ J-lr»/\ - "bV»<"» " , er-l^v>—wm rn-xyp vTF « * vT railroads and the coal operators will be named to advise the control committee of conditions throughout the country. Under the new plan industries will be hit hardest if the coal shortage becomes more acute through a continued delay in the settlement of the mine strike. The commission, in outlining the order in which priority will be granted, did not mention industries. Hence they will come under the fifth class, broadly designated by the words “for other purposes.” Coal production will be stimulated, Secretary of War Weeks said, thru the ability of the government to supply coal cars to non-union mines suffering either partial or total curtailment of production for lack of cars. All existing agreements and contract obligations between the common carriers with reference to the divisions of the rates of transportation, is declared void during the duration, of the emergency declaration. Failure of the carriers to observe this order will result in the fixing of rates by the commission, f

THEATER-CRASH

MODERN CHASE FOR THE ELUSIVE VITAMINS BEGAN IN THE TIMES OF HIPPOCRATES

There is nothing new under the sun. The chase of the elusive vitamin, that recently-discovered, all-important element in food, began when civilization huddled about the Mediterranean, before the beginning of the Christian era. With all America clamoring for vitamf s to balance the diet, and wPh hundreds of thousands obtaining their vitamin allowance by eating the familiar little tinfoil wrapped cake of yeast, medical research experts are recalling that the health giving value of yeast, richest of all foods in one dais of vitamin, was known to Hippocrates, the father of medical science, in the days of ancient Greece. Hippocrates, putative father of the Hippocratic oath, b ,j sis of the eth'cs of the medical profession even to the present day, prescribed the use of yeast in his practuT marv centuries ago. Of course. Hippocrates had never heard of a vitamin, and would not have recognized one if he had met it before the Athenian forum. But he knew yeast and its properties, for yeast

held its place as a health food, although the secret of its properties remained hidden. In the Middle ages the cloistered monks, • ith whoin rested largely the practice f medicine at that time, were prescribing yeast for various ailments. Modern medicine about the middle of the last century be”—n experiments to clear the mystery which surrounded the properties v. i yeast. These researches conducted by many physicians and i.. many ands culminated in the recent demonstrations under the direction of a prominent Philadelphia physician which proved the usefulness of yeast in the treatment of various diseases of the skin and of the

digestive tract.

Limestsne Application Yields Very Profitable Returns

Last year Albert Krous of near Troy applied limestone to the wheat crop soon after sowing. A demonstration was held at the time and quite a number of people were in attendance. The east portion of the field was covered with limestone while the remainder of the field was untreated. The lime-treated portion of the field consisted of about four acres. The lime-treated plot returned a yield of 20 bushels per acre while the remainder of the field which received no limestone but otherwise treated in the same manner only IS bushels per acre. Krous and Blackmore, owners and managers of the farm say that excess water caused some damage to the plot receiving limestone but not taking into consideration the loss to

the limed portion of the field there was an actual gain of two bushels per acre in favor of the use of limestone, the owners report. These men are so well pleased with the results obtained that they have decided to spread an application of limestone over their entire wheat field this fall. It will be noted that the increase in the wheat crop alone was large enough to pay for the cost of the limestone and an even greater increase it to be expected on the clover crop which follows. This increase together with what increase may be expected on the corn crop due to an increased amount organic matter being turned under and the large amount of potash and nitrogen grown in the clover crop will then be clear profit brought about by the use of limestone.

Pershing Has Plan For Development National Defense

Would Protect Landing Places and Leave Navy Free for Offensive Work.

Canners’ reports to the U. S. Department of Ariculture for May 1 indicated that about 205,900 acres would be planted to tomatoes for canning purposes. *In 1921 the area of canning tomatoes was 87,900 acres and in 1920 it was 230,600 acres. This year New Jersey, Delaware, and Maryland together will have about 64,400 acres, Indiana 47,500, California 30,000, Missouri 10,800, New York 9,000, Virginia 8,300, Ohio 7,700, and Utah 5,100 acres. Five States—New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Indiana, and California—will have about 68% of the total acreage of canning tomatoes. Recent rams on the Eastern Shore of Maryland and in Delaware and New Jersey have furnished an abunndace of moisture for tomatoes and the transplanting of the crop has proceeded as rapidly as weather conditions permitted. With only a portion of the crop set out, however, estimates on the acreage in these sections were still rather uncertain.

“CAT” FOR ROBBERS Liverpool.’ 1 —Holdups hav^e become so frequent here that the magistrates have decided to sentence every man found guilty of robbing to at least fifteen strokes with the “cat.”

Washington, July 27.—Indictments against five persons in connection with the Knickerbocker theater disaster of last January in which 97 lives were lost were dismissed today by Justice Siddons, of the District of Columbia supreme court who sustained demurrers. The indictments charged manslaughter against Reginald W. Geare, the architect of the theater; John H. Ford, the iron work contractor; Julian H. Downman, building inspector; Richard G. Fletcher, cement contractor, amd Donald M. Wallace, foreman for the building contractor. The court held the indictment and insufficient in that the majte--rial and essential facts forming the basis of the alleged offense were not set out with reasonable certainty and the indictment therefore was too vague, indefinite and uncertain. The indictment failed to show what act or acts of negligence were committed by each of the accused persons the court decided. The theofy of the indictment is that each of the five men undertook gigantic work and that each was required to know and to see that the other properly performed his portion of the task.

POLICE UNABLE TO TRACE ROBBERS OF GREENVILLE DEPOT

Thieves Escape With $61 42 After Tying Alvin Brown With Heavy Rope

Greenville, July 27—No trace has been found of three automobile bandits who entered the ticket office of the Pennsylvania Railroad company shortly before 2 o’clock this morning and escaped after looting the safe of $61.42 in cash, according to Chief of Police Lynch. In their haste the robbers overlooked more than $100 hidden in another drawer. Alvin Brown, ticket agent, wsL alone in the office at the time of th« robbery. He reported two men appeared at an open window, drew revolvers and ordered him to keep quiet. A third bandit entered the office and forced Brown to open the safe. The three men escaped in a large touring car. Chief Lynch this afternoon talked to two witnesses who reported they saw the automobile containing the three men leave the station, but were not aware what had taken place. After the robbery the bandits tied Brown’s hands behind his bank, turned out the lights in the building and fied.

SHOPLIFTERS ON RAMPAGE New York—This is the worst shopi lifting year the police have ever ex- ' perienced.

After the young worms locate in the intestines of the pigs they rapidly develop and causa an unthrifty condition of the pigs. Young pigs are most susceptible to these parasites, which are caused by swallowing the eggs picked from the infested soil where wormy hogs

have been.

These eggs are very resistant to drouth, cold and most disinfectants. The, most convenient time to treat the pigs is shortly after weaning, when they weigh about 50 pounds. Place the pigs to be treated in a

b® definitely formed f c i e an, dry pen and do not feed for 24 With such initial or- . hoNirs before treatment but give all

the fresh water they will drink. Catch the pic by. the forelegs, place its back between your knees; the other person liy the use of the special gun can give the capsules. The pigs weighing up to 75 pounds should be given one capsule; pigs weighing over 75 pounds should be given two capsules. Care must be taken to see that you get the capsule well back on the tongue (back of ridge) to insure swallowing it. Should a pig drop a capsule give it the same or another capsule.. After treating the pigs keep them off feed at least 18 hours longer. If your pigs are infested with worms you will begin to see results. Since the pigs are hungry they will often eat these v/orms as they are passed, but no harm will result. Chickens will readily pick them up which may prevent you seeing th,e worms. The pigs should be placed on full

feed at once. They should be given-,

a light slop the first feed. Best results cannot be expected if the pigs

have a full stomach.

J. W. Unichet of the State University has given out these instructions. Instruments for giving these capsules

today at the war departm/ent. Details of such plans as may have been already prepared by General Pershing are not disclosed. The general nature of project, however, contemplates assignment of National Guard divisions to specific defensive positions on coasts and borders to which they would be rushed in the

event of war.

“Under this plan,” General Pershing said, “the military organizations required to secure critical landing places upon our coasts and favorable lines of advance upon our land

frontiers can and prepared

ganization assured, the additional military units requested for the full prosecution of a serious _war can be mobilized at once and brought to full strength without distrubance or in-

terruption.

“With our territory thus protected against landings in force at the start, and with the machinery for further military expansion fully organized our fleet will be free to deal with the hostile naval forces without concern as a; possible inva-

sion.”

The plans are practicable, General Pershing said, “if we can count upon reasonable development of the economical military system sanctioned by the national defense act.
