Details are set forth in an article by Lionel K. Arnold of lowa State College outlining experimentation of Dr. A. M. Buswell. University of Illinois scientist. The article says Dr. Buswell has proved conclusively that gas can be generated in sizeable proportions from these substances. Dieting of billions of bacteria is the basis for the operation. Makes Marsh Gas “He (Dr Buswell) took some shredded cornstalks in the laboratory," Arnold relates, “flavored them with sewage and fed them to bacteria that had established a reputation for making methane, or ] marsh gas. He was not disappointI ed for they made great quantities of the gas. “Sometimes these things that I work so well in the laboratory tail I miserably when tried on a large I scale. So Dr. Buswell tried out the I bacteria feeding program on a lar- | ger scale in a wooden tank in his ; laboratory. He had billions upon | billions of bacteria eating upon j cornstalks and sewage and sending ; up gas which he burned in his labI oratory burners. Fried Eggs i "To show that it would really ] heat when burned, he fried eggs I andboiled water over the flame.” ! The writer presented the rhetor! ! cal question if enough gas could Ibe produced to supply cities. The | following computations were given | as an answer: | From the results in the labora|tory a ton of cornstalks will pro/dljce from 10,000 to 20,000 cubic ; feet~of gas equal to natural gas for cooking. The average amount of gas used for cooking purpses a person is about 15 cubic feet a day. With an average yield of 1.5 tons per acre enough cornstalks would be produc- | ed within an 8-mlle radius to supply !a city of 80,000 with gas. 0 |f _ MAG LEY NEWS” Mrs. Charles Ruppert and daughter Alma Elizabeth of Stony Plain Alberta Canada are visiting her parents Mr. and Mrs. Fred Bloernker and other relatives.

Small Fortune Is Cost of a Bow to Royalty * * * $ * * Months of Preparation and Expenditure of Thousands of Dollars Ere Royal Seal Emblazons Social Prestige of Ambitious “Deb” —An i i wwF » Queen -4 ;•• . few Mary .. .. .

T A pavmer jr ?! • \ J' ' Behind the glitter and pomp attendant upon a presentation at Buckingham Palace there is the very real question of dollars and cents. With court gowns running into four figures besides other no less important incidentals, it is obvious that only the very wealthy caa aspire to the honor of reaching the social heights by exchangmg a curtsy for a royal nod. It is est.mated that the four courts scheduied for this season will put three millions of dollars into the pockets of English tradespeople, who are unanimous in their agreement that American women are the best spenders. After a review of the whole situation one comes to the conclusion that, from the bu-ness mans viewpoint, it pays to have a king.

London. June — A breathless hush descends upon the thronged throne room in Buckingham Palace. Eager debutantes cease their excited chatter, suave courtiers postpone for the noce the flotfery compliment they were about to pay to the charming companions I ''of thei moment, even stately dowagers! freeze into immobility lest the rust-] le of their court finery create aj sacrilegious whisper. Suddenly the silence is shattered ] by a ringing fanfare of silver trump-] ets and down the long corridor that; leads from the state apartments j come their Majesties, King George I and Queen Mary of England. The monarch is dressed in the full, uniform, of a field marshal of the British Army, his breast ablaze with military decorations and orders. The Queen wears a regal gown of cloth-of-gold, illuminated with the famous state diamonds. Preceded by court ushers the royal party makes it way to the, dais whereon rests the throne.; When the King and Queen have] seated themselves, then, and not. till then, do the other occupants of the throne room relax. SLIGHT ROYAL NOD. Then comes the passage before the throne by the debutantes and others fortunate enough to win presentation. As each one approaches, makes her their ma-! jesties acknowledge with a smiling! nod or maybe a few words —and backs from the royal presence, an] indelible seal is automatically affix-1 ed for all time upon her social stat- ■ us. ! That, briefly, is the ceremony of ( a presentation at court, the dream | of society buds'all over the world.. And the cost? Trifling, when corn-, pared to the prestige acquired by! the outlay. over the week-end. John Jr. Helmrich returned home with them Monday to spend a month. M s. James Hower who has been; a patient in the Decatur memorial j hospital for a couple weeks was removed to the home of her daugh-; ter Sunday Mr. and Mrs. Edward | Koi ter.

It is estimated that it costs a debutante at least $2,000 to make her bow at Buckingham Palace and more often than not the figure is I twice that amount. The bill tor the ] court gown alone may be anything from $125 to S7OO and that is without the expensive trimmings of seed! ! pearls or rare old lace essential to | the outfit. According to court dress- I i makers $1,500 for an embroidered ' j gown is common-place, and, they ; j say, American women will have ' | only the best. The four courts to be held this | I season (the first of which was on ' \ May 19, and the last will be on i [June 10) will put something like ] j three million dollars in the pockets of English tradespeople, as the | great majority of foreign debs do : all their shopping for the occasion ' ;in the English capital. ] AMERICANS PPRESENTED Among the American who made i i their bow at the first court this ■ year were: Miss Bertha Potter ' [Palmer, of Chicago; Miss Barbara I Hutton, of New York; Miss Virginia I Dawes, daughter of Ambassador I Dawes; Miss Margareta Duane, of , I Pennsylvania; Miss Adele Jahncks, I of Louisiana, and Miss Virginia | Penn, of No. Carolina. More than 1,200 were received by ■ the King and Queen at the first | court and it is only a matter ot I simple arithmetic to compute how | 'much British business has bene-J ; fitted by the royal function. It can 11 ] readily be seen that only the very [ I I wealthy can afford to launch their [ | [offspring on the social sea via the I [court slipway. But there is always ■ the consolation that one may be j presented at court in one's own | I home town at the trifling cost of i ] [ $5 by the simple expedient of park- : [ ing one’s automobile in front of a ] ‘fire plug.
