Geological Survey Reports on
“Secondary" Metals Recov
ered From Scraps.
OLD IRON NOT COUNTED
Large Percentage of "Primary
Run" Represented—Aluminum
Saved Worth $1,673,140.
By SIDNEY ESPEY.
E WASHINGTON, May 29.—Uncle
Rsm’s scrap heap was worth nearly
160.000,000 In 1914 8hSs fell short of
the value for the previous year by
If nearly 616,000,000.
These figures were announced In a
' report by the United State Geological
Survey and represent the value of
metals, exclusive of gold, silver, plati
num, iron and steel, known technlcal-
| ly as "secondary metals.” recovered
from scrap metal, sweepings, skim
ming? and drosses. The exact value
for the last year of these metals was
« placed by the survey at $57,039,706
and that for 1913 at $72,786,027, or a
‘Ifteerease of $15,746,321.
O These figures, however, represent
ten^ than one-half the extent of the
DOiraete metal trade of the county, it
stated. The inquiry did not cover the
•^Volume of old iron and steel which
Soji estimated to amount to millions of
adollars, and concerned only lead, zinc,
a copper, aluminum tin and antimony.
Quality is Good.
The term "secondary metals" as
If applied to those recovered in this
f fashion, the survey explains, does not
, mean that they are of inferior qual-
j tty, but is usecj to distinguish this
» class from the "primary” metals
* which are derived from ore.
L These "secondary metals” recov-
t ered can be used in whole or In part
and most foundries employ them. The
bulk of the metal waste Is contrib
uted by the manufacturing and rail
way centers. Thus when trade and
transportation are dull the produc
tion of scrap metal declines.
The business depression Generally
* prevailing In the country in 1914 is
‘ t said to account for the drop In the
a.value of the scrap heap for that year.
* Most of the refining and smelting of
» drosses and st rap metals in the
* United States, more than 9ft per cent
* in fact, is done in the territory east
of the St. Louis and north of the
Ohio river.
ity * Much Aluminum Saved.
Secondary copper, including that in
. « braes produced in 1914 totaled 127,882
fjj tons, more than - - per cent <>f the

Woman Worker Who Would
Not Take Dare.
SACRAMENTO, May 29.—Maurice
R. Browne, the tall and bashful As
semblyman from Tuolumne, author of
the measure to tax all bachelors, has
Just been kissed for the first time In
his life.
He was kissed not once, but twice,
for after the first oscillatory smack
had been Implanted upon the bucolic
statesman’s cheek, he up and took an
other.
It took place In the Assembly cham
ber toward the end of the day’s ses

group of Assemblymen and Senators,
who gathered about his desk cheer
ing Browne and his fair companion
and complimenting him upon having
crowned his legislative experience
with this new and hitherto untried
sensation.
Begin to Jolly Browne.
There had been a call of the House
while proponents of the bill were try

its passage, and the* members were
sitting about enjoying themselves.
Browne was at his desk, and Mrs. J.
E. Bell, lobbyist for the Supervisors’
Hoad bill, went over and took the ad
joining seat.
A lot of the members gathered
about and began to "Jolly" him about
the bachelor tax. As the conversation
went along Browne remarked that al
though he was 40 years old he had
never been kissed. Assemblyman
Avey suggested that his fair seatinate
might show him what it was like.
"Here goes," she replied and
Brown got his first kiss. The crowd
roared and Browne blushed.
And He Likes It, Too.
"How did you line it?”
“Give it back.”
“Take another," shouted various
mem hers.
“It was all right,” said Browne,
’and 1 guess I’ll have another,” as he
pul his arm about the young woman’s
shoulder and drew her closer to him.
Mrs. Bell was “game” and she
kissed the Assemblyman again. Then
the Speaker's gavel called the mem
bers to order and the "kissing bee’!
was dispersed.
"I’m going to run again for the
Assembly, by heck," declared Browne
as he turned again to his work.

PHILADELPHIA, May 29.—Blue
rockets show fear, and the deadly,
nightshade is full of hatred. Both of
these are plants, but that does not
prevent them from declaring merci
less war on all animal life. The blue
rocket perfume carries one of the
deadliest of poisons. One-sixteenth of
a grain shot from Its poison pistil has
proved fatal to a man.
"Give this plant the semi-muscular
system possessed by the carnivorous
plants and it would be more dangerous
than the cholera," said Professor
Henry G. Walters, head of the plant
research bureau at Langhorne.
The professor, who maintains that
plants have memories and are capable
uf love, believes also that there are
plants which exercise all the emotions
of enmity.

submitted to a meeting of the socie

Hugo Meyer,” a supposedly gay and
wealthy surgeon from Vienna, made

joyed privileges as to frivolity which
were denied to the poor. He asserted
society women forced him to cover
when it came to imbibing cocktails,
and that one woman danced on a ta
ble.
Adolph D. VVelmer, chairman of the
societies’ political action committee,
said the proper time hud not arrived
for the full disclosures.
"Mr. Neumann told only the general
story of what he saw among the tea
rooms and drawing rooms of the.
smart set." he said. "The details will
be brought In when we must produce
them In our fight on class discrimi
nation against the poor.”

JOPLIN, MO., May 29.—Age defied
Father Time, when William L. Miller,
gray-bearded centenarian, and Mrs.
Nancy Pike. 60, marched dow'n the
aisle of the First M. E. Church before
200 persons ana were married by the
Rev. Charles Franklin.
This was the third matrimonial
venture for the sprightly bridegroom,
who Is 101 years old. He said: "I’m
used to It." Mrs. Miller said this was
the first time that she had ever cried
before her wedding, but then It was
happiness which caused the tears.
The aged couple were driven to the
Justice of the Peace’s office in a mo
tor car, as they wished to be married
according to modem style. However,
when the license was obtained Miller
attempted to coax the justice into
tying the nuptial knot, despite the
fact that the clergyman and people
were waiting at the church.
Miller was torn in 1814, and has I
been making his living here several
years by gardening. When selling |
sassafras and vegetables to Mrs. Mil- I
ler here a few years ago, he met her. I
Not long ago when she was In the
city a friend in a Joking way suggest
ed that they get married. Both fol
lowed the suggestion and a rapid-fire
courtship followed.’ Mrs. Miller had
been married twice before.
Both are perfectly happy. When
they were picking their wav through
a crowd at the door of the justice’s
office they were smiling. Not once
did they falter, and. in climbing the
stairway, the centenarian was un
usually spry. The couple will live at
No. 1007 Bird street. Miller will con
tinue his truck gardening, but this
time to support two instead of one.
Poison Sent in Mail
To Woman Teacher
Michigan Town Stirred by Act Fol
lowing School Board Fight—Pos
tal Officials to Investigate.
MARQUETTE, MICH., May 29.—A
weird "poison plot” tale, such as the
Gorglas might have conceived, with
a pretty Tilden township school
teacher as the victim, is alleged by
her friends to be the sequel to a
school board, fight which recently re
sulted In the retirement of the su
perintendent of the Tilden school sys
tem.
The pupil who brought the mail
from the Tilden postoffice handed
Miss Charlotte Russell, the teacher,
what was apparently a letter. She
opened it and found two pieces of
cardboard, between which lay a piece
of cotton batting, which was stained
yellow and gave forth a strange but
not unpleasant odor.
Immediatley, however, the school
teacher gasped and collapsed. She be
came unconscious before other teacn-
ers could reach her, and remained In
that condition for two hours, although
two physicians attended her.
The sender of the letter successful
ly defied any attempt to trace the let.
ter by hand or typewriting of the ad
dress, for it was made by clipping the
letters of her name and address from
printed matter.
The School Boa,rd announced It
would place the matter in the hands
of the postal authorities.
Physicians who examined the piece
of cotton batting say they are not
able to determine the drug It may
have been saturated with.

There Is no necessity for It. The

means inefficiency In the ofTice or in

You know what causes that droop.
If you don’t, you ought to? It Is In
judicious eating or drinking or both; or
It may come from Irregularity of habit
or lack of exercise. Any one of these
may cause constipation and create toxic
poisons which attack and Injure the
vital organs.
Stop It now. You can do It and pre
vent it in future. When you get up In
the morning take Jacobs’ Liver Salt.
Just a small dose of It—one or two
teaspoonfuls—in a generous glass of
