Frsa Oir Csrrespeiden ts STAR Nellie Smith spent a few day# last week in North Liberty. Mrs. Elwood Borton, who has been ill with bronchial pneumonia is convalescing. Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Liggett and son, were visitors at the Ed Wharton home over Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Brown have returned to South Bend after spending nearly two weeks at the Albert Schlarb home. There will be no Sunday school at the Star church next Sunday on account of the quarterly conference to be held at the Stringtown church next Saturday and Sunday. LAPAZ Frank Robison, the new agent visited his family at Hicksville, 0., over Sunday. Foster Bessler has sold hfs grocery store to Holland and Albert. Doctor Shipley has located in Ora, and has all he can do. We regret to lose Dr. Shipley but wish him success in his new home. We have room for a doctor in Lapaz and a drug stone which would be a paying investment. The Blues beat the Reds in getting the most new scholars in Sunday scnool at the Union church. The Reds gave the supper to the Blues in Burger’s hall which was enjoyed by all. R®v. Grlsso of North Liberty commenced a revival meeting at the Union church Sunday evening and has been having good crowds. We see a man stopped at th® Muddy Street scribe’s house last week ito warm. Ho claimed to know where ( Gas City was located, the Scrib® did aot say if he was g’olng or coming. We infer from the tone of the item that it took all their time during ।Bill’s call to find corks for the jugs. I After hie had the white mule in the 'jugs he mentioned of course the jar went in with the mule but the kick stayed on the out side and put the directions on the jugs to take the contents before and after until the headache comes on, split the dose to once a week. We wonder if Bill is home yet? | Uncle Fred Rynas living close to Lakeville had a little trouble with Uncle Sani about making moonshine and Sam pinched Fred. He had to go I to South Bend and air ^Jiis troubles in court. Fred had been there before so he was no stranger. They gave him a S2OO fine and costs. He was just packing 40 gallons to sh.p and had a hundred gallons of mash ready to stew. Fred at one time was a pretty good boy but it seems he has got into bad company. Corn is cheap and Tie was trying to get all out of his crop he could but Uncle Sam took still, mash, mule, Fred and all. Mr. McCormican from Walkerton has opened a shoe and harness repair shop in the Holland building and from the way he keeps his hammer going he is doing a good business. I Claude Kaser has moved to Plymouth. Soon after moving there an 8% pound boy came to their home. Mrs. Kaser was formerly Miss Logan, and a prominent teacher in our public schools. j The officers elected for the ensuing year at the Union Sunday school are Supt., Mrs. John Whiteman; asst., Foster Davenport; sec. and treas., Edith Seybold; chorister, Jud Moore and janitor, John Whiteman. 1 We wonder what Pumpkin Center has done with, the Silver Street scribe and vice versa; it seems every time Yellow Bank makes a prediction about the weather they take to their holes. We suppose they will shew up | ground hog day or when the flowers । bloom at least. Firepr»«f Gas Tanks. One ®f our leading rubber c«m*a®iea has developed a fireproof c®v®r f®r the gasoline tanks of airplanes, which has been accepted by the government for use on combat and mail plane®. The cover was designed primarily for combat airplanes for protection against incendiary bullets, and is not only fireproof but leakproof and crashproof as well. The cover consists of a sheet of soft but very tough rubber, one-half inch thick, laid on several plies of high-grade cotton fabric. The rubber is applied next to the tank. In tests it was found that when the gasoline tank is punctured the rubber immediately closed the hole and stopped the leak. First Woman Reporter in Parliament. Dora de Lareda, a young Jewish writer of London, has the distinction of being the first woman journalist to attend the opening of the British parliament as a reporter of the proceedings in the house of lords.

[ Marooned । By HAZEL SMITH (©, I>2l, W«et»rß Newspaper Unles.) “Dear Hazel: “I am only able to send you a few lines this time because the weekly steamer is at the little dock here and is just getting ready to return to Portland. I arrived here yesterday to joi> the other girls, and what do you think? Nobody was here but myself. So I am actually marooned upon this tiny island, where we had such a merry party last year. A letter from Grace has just followed me here and I learn that the island has been bought by a man, and the club will have to find another camping ground. The creature wrote to all the rest ®f the club individually but left me out. Apparently I am too insignificant a member to be noticed. The man is Harry Richmond, about whom I wrote y®u last year. He was very rude to me when I told him that our club did not allow men on the Island, and he haa apparently taken his revenge by buying it over our heads. Ever yours, “Adelaid®.” “Dearest Hazel: "Dreadful things have been happening here since I last wr®te t® yo«.

Affectionately, “Adelaide.” "My Dear Hazel: “I don’t know if you will ever get this letter, for th® most terrible thing has ®cenrred. Merry Bichm®nd came back yesterday and told m* that the boat was not going to rue any more this season, now that the Island is private property. Ho offered to sup- I ply me with provisions as long as I wanted to stay. I told him that I tfould leave nt once if bo would kindly place his motorboat at my disposal. Then ho said that he would not unless ; —Oh, Hazel, I hesitate to toll you what he said, but I meat set It down to relieve myself. Ho said that his fee would be a kies and that ho loved i mo and had always loved mo. and that —- why he had lot mo come to the 1 me after warning away Gm® all the other members of tho I ^a»t®r’s» club.

He was so abject that I almost pitied him. H® is not a bail-looking young man, and of quite a good family. You knew the Richmonds of Livingston? He is one of them, and I understand he knows Aunt Emma quit® well.—A.” Darling Hazel: “What am I to do? My last suppl j' of food is gone and I shall have to accept his proposition or starve. I am going to toil him that I shall accept, aad that I shall have a warrant issued for his arrest as soon as I reach Portland. He is not a bit abject now but defiant and insolent. He said I could have a warrant issued on the island and that he would give me an opportunity. I wonder what he meant. I "Yours in anguish, "Adelaide.” “Dear Hazel: “Yesterday afternoon Mr. Richmond came baek with a justice of the peace who inquired whether I wanted to take out a warrant. I said I did, and tho justice said he would take Mr. Richmond baek as a prisoaor in his own motorboat, but that I would have to stay here because the heat was private property. Then they both went away, aad althougb Mr. Brown — the justice—looked so stern, I believe he is a friend of Mr. Richmond. I ate the supplies. Affectionately, "Adelaide. “P. S. I suppose I had better tell you what happened last night. I resolved to appeal to Mr. Richmond's better instincts and went to his cabin. Ho was sitting outside, looking deeply dejected. I told him that our club was vowed to celibacy, but that I would withdraw the warrant, and he answered that Mr. Brown would be back from the mainland in an hour or two, ready to take him back a prisoner, and he was glad I was forgiving. Then vie both heard Mr. Brown's boat come chugging across the water, and when it landed I saw that there was a woman in it. Mr. Brown came up to us and said that he had brought back his wife to see the island. Hazel, who do you,suppose she is? Grace! It seems that they were in love with each other all last summer, and she kept it from us because she was afraid of being expelled from the club. And she told me that I had hopelessly compromised myself by staying on the island with Mr. Richmond and that the only way out of the dilemma would be to marry him. Isn't it dreadful? “Lovingly, “Adelaide. “P. S. Mr. Brown performed the ceremony by moonlight. When we get hack to Long Island you must c®ma and meet Harry at once. —A,* Obeys Natural Law.

-rk 7 z' •Synthetic Chemistry, zXfler Learning the Secret of r.'iakkig Royal Purple, Succeeds in Producing Al! the Colors of the Rainbow (Told in Eight Sketches) By JOHN RAYMOND No. V COLOR

In the dim ages of history when man first felt the desire for beauty, traders searched the world for dyestuffs, jewels, perfumes, spices and precious woods. The risk of these voyages was great and only princes or nobles could afford the fruits of ventures to the far corners of the world. No man of humble origin could aspire to the rich crimsoned linen, the Royal Purple of ancient Tyre, retailing at S6OO a pound. Royal Purple is an age-old insignia of aristocracy. This dye was secreted by a small shellfish on the Eastern coast of the Mediterranean and here the enterprising merchants of Tyre formed a dye monopoly equaled only by the German Cartel. A bit of the whitish liquid secreted by this mollusk, if spread upon a cloth and •exposed to the air and sunlight turns first green, next blue and then purple. If washed with an alkali soap it becomes the magnificent Crimson worn by the Cardinals and Princes of the Cath®Wc Church. Tyrian purple vanished from the marts ®f the world with the fall ®f Tyre^ f* Synthetic chemistry learned the secret ®f making Royal Purple as, indeed, it learned to manufacture indigo, the same deep blue that may be seen today in nuMeums, the winding sheets of Egyptian mammies. It was an achievement ta snatch its distinctive color from royalty and to rival the best vegetable indigo of the ancient® but modern chemistry has gone far beyend that. Today any kind of dye foend in nature can be made in the laboratory. Indeed, among the 900 shades and colors being manufactured there are tints that it would be difficult to diown in the rainbow.

These colors all come from coal tar but after it is understood that coal tar is the quintes- , sence of the forests of untold ages the feat does not ap- • pear to be so marvellous. And still for centuries this country has been wasting vast quantities of the precious mateI rial. In fact, the

ma nufactureof coke, in which process coal tar is obtained, is the only metallurgical operation that America continues to conduct, in a large measure, after the manner of a century ago. In 1915 there were 41,500,000 tons of coke produced in this country for which almost 61,000,000

tons of coal were used. Because of the enormous demands for war materials modern by-product ovens were constructed and in 1919 more than 52 per cent of our coke supply came from these ovens. It is estimated that for every ton of coke made in modern by-product ovens there is saved in fuel alone 825 pounds of coal. When a house-holder burns a ton of coal he h^s sacrificed something like 11,000 cubif feet of gas, nine gallons of tar, twenty-five pounds of ammonium sulphate, 2.08 gallons of pure benzol and 0.56 gallons of pure toluol. — — In our industrial life the use of coal derivatives is just beginning to be felt. The rubber industry depends upon these products for solvents, compounding ingredients and softeners. Practically all types of paint now use a derivative of coal. Printing inks, shoe polishes, brake linings, dry cleaners, perfumes, explosives, linoleums, glues, pastes and photographic developers, contain coal products as basic ingredients. The paper industry, the soap business, and the shoe manufacturer would be in serious difficulties without the by-products of ceal tar. The electrical industry would l®se its chief source of insulating material and the doctors and druggists would be without a sufficient supply «f phenal to make their supply of everyday drugs. Coal tar, the refuse of ancient vegetable kingdoms, is valuable because it produces a galaxy of brilliant colors, not so much for the colors themselves bnt because in producing them so many intermediates are developed that are of inestimable worth to the industrial life of the nation.
