AUTO TIRES BURNED TO DESTROY PESTS Method Tried With 'success by Farmers in Brazil. Bu / .Mr, Sprriul RIO DE JANEIRO. Aug 11 That Brazils most tenacious pest the ant. may be vanquished by the discarded automobile tire, is the latest news for farmers in this great land of fanners. Experiments recently carried cn show that when automobile tires are burned thev give off carbonic ani gas. This gas was placed in a common bellows and injected into ant hills, hundreds of pounds of insects being instantly killed. The dead ants were found to be excellent food for fowl, which is not •he case when arsenic or other poisons are used. It has been estimated on the basis of well-considered data, that 30 per cen’ of the agricultural production of the country is destroyed by these formidable insects. Those of northern climes have no conception of the problem these creatures represent for Brazil It is not a question of the relatively harmless insects of northern countries, but of ant armies that in a singl? night are capable of destroying an entire plantation. Undoubtedly, in time the pest will be conquered, although its wide distribution and astonished proliflcness makes the job a monumental me. The National Society of Agriculture no- is giving serious attention to the organization of a na-tion-wide campaign, for 1? is ’."cognized that merely individual efforts are futile Perhaps the lesson of the used automobile tire may come in handy during this war.

FRENCH NUDISTS WORRIED OVER NAKED STATUE Fig Leaf Question Is Big Concern to Colonists.

Hu I '■</ Pi*** PARIS. Aug. 11 —The French nudists in the cocklebur camp of Physiopolis. on the Island of Villenr.es in the Seine, are all hot and bothered. Thev are unable to decide whether a statue of a living nudist should stand on its pedestal altogether naked or court decency with a fig leaf or Roman toga. Grateful French exponents of nakedness decided to build a monument on their island to 'he first man to dare to undress in public —a German watchmaker lamed Ungewitter. who Is the grandfather of all this theory. Back m 190fi, in Thuringia, he shocked his family and worried ihe police by disrobing and sitting in the sunshine. In theory, the monument idea ' sepms fine enough, but in practice it can not be worked out. peicefullv. Long into the night, the torrent of debate runs on From a distance along the well-dressed bank of the Seine—the roar which comes from the island campfire

group* sounds about like Niagara from the surburbs of Buffalo. The ramp is really two camps those who do and those who don't f°*l that a nudist is a nudist, dead ; or alive, in stone or in sunburned, cocklebur-scratched flesh. A slight majority seems to feel tha' i' is not in keeping with good decorum to portray ir. stone th* complete nakedness of a living man; ’hat is all right for Roman gladiators. but ’here are no living Roman gladiators. Anyhow thev point out. no man is the same from one day to another. He might be sculpTed after a big dmnpr and the rounding lines will not do him justice. H“ may be put into stone after a hard night of seeking sleep on the cold, cold cockleburs of Physiopolis. which, ail the French naturists will tel! you. does not improve upon beauty. For that reason, the French camp may eventually decide to limit its statuary to Roman gladiators long since dead.

The island camp is a cosmopolitan place this year, with fat ladies and thin men from a dozen climes and countrysides. There are no Americans, but the ferry is running for the day some American will be willing to join. There are dozens of Germans, a sprinkling of rather finely drawn English ladies in their upper forties, who break the nudis* rules bv wearing their hats while they play volleyball in their camisoles Nudist styles seem to have changed little from last season. Those women who wore little snips and snaps of colored cloth here and there, tied together with shoestrings, last year, wear the same proportion of snips and snaps thus year, and in the same strategic places.

BLAST FURNACE METHOD USED TO MAKE ACID Phosphoric Kind Now Produced Economically and in Quantities.

/V/.Wr, 4.' r t NASHVILLE. Tenn Aug 11 Phosphoric and of a higher purity than ever obtained before can now be produced economically in large quantities by means of a process perfected by Henry \V. Easterwood. chemical engineer, and his associates. This acid, indispensable in the manufacture of certain fertilizers. foods and drugs, is obtained from phosphate rock which occurs in large quantities in Tennessee. Although it has been the desire of chemical engineers for sixty-five years to be able to manufacture phosphoric acid cheaply, it remained for Easterwood and his associates to successfully adapt the blast furnace principle to the problem and make the dream a realitv Asa result a furnace capable of producing 250.000 pounds of phosphorus pentoxid" a day w hirh is converted directly into acid in the process, has recently been put Into operation at Nashville The use of the blast furnace was first suggested in 186fi but was depmod commercially impracticable at that time. Hence for thirty or

forty years the manufacture of phosphoric acid was carried out In the electric furnace. In 1917 the bureau of soils of the Department of Agriculture became interested in the subject because of the desire for producing a concentrated phosphate fertilizer The bureau went on the theory that ordinary silica sand heated to a high temperature m the presence of carbon was capable of expelling phosphorus from the rock
