GASES ONCE WASTED
TURNED INTO MONEY
Industry and Public Benefited
by Chemistry.
East Pittsburgh, Pa. —Modern chem
istry is demonstrating that even odors
can be turned into dollars and cents.
Gases that have polluted the atmos
phere are now being captured and con
verted into the liquids from which
they originated, to the profit of both
industry and the public.
Experts of the materials and process
engineering department of the West
inghouse Electric and Manufacturing
company decided that too many smells
were going up the chimney in the
process of treating insulation with
resinous, materials. So they trapped
the gases as fast as they were gen
erated, mixed them with water and
then distilled this liquid, recovering
from 80 to 90 per cent of the solvents
used in the formula.
How far chemical engineers can go
in eliminating and using fumes by
liquefying them before they are dis
charged into the air has not yet been
determined, but experiments now un
der way suggest that far-reaching re
sults are possible. The saving already
effected by the capture of used sol
vents is said to be considerable.
Chemists point out, however, that
recovery methods might be too well
perfected, for it is possible that some
of the agents recovered from gases
would themselves be difficult to de
stroy.

Seeks to Make Blend
of Light and Music
Philadelphia.—A basic patent for an
invention to blend light with music
has been granted to Mrs. Mary Hal
lock Greenwait. Mrs. Greenwait has
been conducting experiments in the
blending of light and sound for 27
years. She believes that her patent is
the first granted for a new means of
expressing human emotions in rhyth
mic form.
While music is being rendered by
singer; violinist, pianist or orchestra,
Mrs. Greenwait’s apparatus floods the
performer with lights of varying in
tensity. The fluctuations in light are
intended to enhance the emotional
and intellectual appeal of the music.
The apparatus may be operated with
a keyboard.
Years of training in music, of pro
fessional experience as a concert
pianist, of study of physics, mechanics,
physiology and psychology went into
the achieving of the results now rec
ognized by the granting of the basic
patent.
Mrs. Greenwait was born in Beirut,
Syria, the daughter of Samuel and
Sara Tabet Hallock. She came to the
United States when a girl of eleven
After she left school she took up the
study of music.
Mystery Blasts Being
Studied by Scientists
White Plains, N. Y.—Residents of
northern Westchester county are
searching to find a solution to the
mysterious' blast which rocked build
ings and spread terror over several
miles of the countryside. The heavy,
dull roar and the quiver of the earth
kept the county police busy answering
telephone calls for hours.
Similar blasts have occurred at in
tervals of exactly six months within
the last two years. They always come
at night. The ground was shaken
and the noise of the explosion was
heard, but on each occasion it was
unaccompanied by any flare or light
such as would have been the case had
the explosion been due to powder or
gasoline or other known explosions
that are set off by friction or heat.
Scientists have been asked to study
the terrain in the vicinity and ascer
tain if the blasts are being caused by
some disturbance deep under the
earth.

GAS TRAPS BIRDS
IN PARK CAVERNS
Perish in Caves Poisoned
From Below
Yellowstone Park, Wyo.—Natural
poison gas, seeping up through fis
sures in the earth into caves, is fre
quently the cause of the death of
birds and small mammals in Yellow
stone National park, and Park Natu
ralist E. J. Sawyer Is attempting to
find out why the luckless little victims
venture into these deadly traps.
He is disinclined to believe the
theory most commonly advanced that
the birds go into the caves for shel
ter as cold weather comes on in the
fall.
Impelled by Restlessness.
“It is my present belief that, in gen
eral, the bird victims are not par
ticularly attracted by anything al ah,
but that in the restlessness character
istic of their spring and autumn
movements they venture into all man
ner of accessible places and are then
overcome by the gas. The species
affected are small perching birds of
various kinds, such as sparrows,
warblers, wrens and thrushes; nor
has it been observed that any species
or group of these pays a toll out of
proportion to its relative general
abundance.
“That a desire for warmth is not
the main attraction seems further in
dicated by the fact that the Towns
end solitaire is so frequently found
dead in the caves. This bird, an'all
year resident in the park and appar
ently unaffected by even the extreme
cold of raidwinter, would scarcely be
impelled to seek extraordinary warmth
in spring and fall.
Confined to Smaller Birds.
“One of the most abundant species
of small birds in this region is the
(.'lark crow, or nutcracker, yet I have
seldom if ever found a Clark crow in
the poison caves, and yet it would
seem a comparatively short step from
his ordinary habits for the nutcracker
to enter ' ■ of these shallow caverns
—not so p.unounced a departure from
routine as it is in the case of the tree
loving warblers, which are among the
most frequent victims.
“It is my belief that the nutcracker
does enter the eaves, but, owing t«
his greater size and greater power of
resistance, emerges with impuniiy—
though doubtless, in each case, an
older and a wiser bird. Indeed so
far as my frequent observations go,
it Is a rare thing to find any bird
larger than the small thrushes that
has succumbed to the gas.”
Relic of Washington’s
Found in Old Box
Adderbury West, England—ln an
old box of parchments purchased for
a shilling T. J. Bennett has' discovered
the oldest connecting link between the
ancestral family of George Washing
ton and Sulgrave Manor, the Washing
ton family home.
This is a deed bearing the signa
tures in plain handwriting of Lau
rence Washington and Robert Wash
ington. Beneath each signature is at
tached a seal of the Washington
family.
The deed is dated 1597 and relates
to a transfer of land at Sulgrave. A
deed at Sulgrave Manor house, hith
erto thought to be the oldest, is
. dated 1599. Laurence Washington was
the original Washington owner of Sul
grave Manor.
The collection ot old parchments
belonged to Bennett’s late uncle. The
old deed box was put up with other
odds and ends for sale after the uncle
died, and Bennett secured it for a
shilling. Lord Lee of Fareham has
given Mr. Bennett an opinion that it
is of great value.
New Gas Cell Lining
Cuts Dirigible Cost
Washington.—A new fabric for lin
ing the gas cells of dirigibles, as light
and effective but only one-third as
costly as that made with the pre
cious goldbeater’s skin, has been de
veloped for the Navy department
after years of research in the bureau
of standards.
“A substitute for goldbeater’s skin
lias been sought by the air powers
of the world since it became appar
ent in 1910 that the tighter-than-uir
ship was destined to be an important
instrument of war and commerce.
Development of a satisfactory substi
ture, employing cellulose, at this time
is particularly valuable to the United
States in view of the plan to construct
for the navy two $6,000,000 airships
larger than either the Shenandoah or
the Los Angeles.
World-War Children

return from an eight-month tour of
Europe.
He asked reporters what had taken
place in America during his absence.
Among other things, he was told of
the Hickman murder case and other
recent crimes.
"It is those young people who were
children in the war and who heard of
the gigantic sacrifice of life and seem
to have inherited all the bloodshed
and cruelty of war." he said. “I know
I see it In their faces and in their
actions.’’
“Thank God ft is not the soldiers.”
he added. "They came back tired and
weary and settled down.’’
SPREADS SUNSHINE
AMONG SHUT-INS
Carolinian Has Given Away
80,000 Bouquets.
Greenville, S. O.—Spreading sun
shine is the hobby of A. G. Gower,
Greenville bookkeeper — figuratively,
that is.
For eight years he has made and
presented 80.000 bouquets to Green
ville shut-ins, persons who are ill,
and others.
Gower estimates that he cuts 250,-
000 blossoms annually from his gar
den, all of which are given away. The
monetary return is nothing, but, he
says “It is spreading sunshine whole
sale, and my reward is so tremendous
that it is boundless. I have a treas
ure house without limits.”
He began his flower mission in a
unall way about 20 years ago. It was
not until just after the World war in
1919 that it began to assume its pres
ent large proportions.
At that time he was asked to teach
a Bible class in the United States
Army Hospital No. 26. at Camp Sevier.
“I’ll teach the class,” lie said, “if you
will let me bring the boys flowers
every Sunday morning.”
Then the work of spreading sun
shine began in earnest. His flower
garden became larger and larger, un
til today it occupies every nook and
cranny of the half-acre plot around
his home.
For 48 hours each week Gower Is
engaged with long columns of figures.
But early mornings, late afternoons
and evenings, find, him in his garden
caring for the flowers that have
brought happiness to him and the per
sons who receive them. Saturday
afternoons until dark he gathers the
flowers for his baskets of bouquets.
Kills Three of His Brothers
and Ends Own Life
Bakersfield, Calif. —Albert Villard,
fifty years, hanged himself from his
own automobile and then shot him
self to make death doubly certain
after he had killed three of his broth
ers and wounded a fourth, according
to reports brought here. Walter Rice
of Tulare said be found the slayer’s
body hanging by a rope from Villard’s
car on a road nine miles from Tulare.
Joe Villard, suffering from bullet
wounds inflicted by his brother,
walked two miles to a neighbor’s
ranch to notify the authorities.
The three brothers who were killed
—August. Eugene and Gabriel Villard
—with Joe and their parents were at
breakfast and did not know that Al
bert was in the room until he began
shooting, Joe said.
Ranchmen say that for several years
Albert has held a grudge against his
brothers, claiming he was deprived
of his share of the Villard ranch.
