In the manufact tre of alcohol from eoricobs anid cornstalks, at small cost, the dIepartmeiit of agriculture is de veloping.1a new in(ustry hat the (le partnient says is likely to be of large cominercial value. Investigations which the department is making at Hloopestonl, Ill, have proved that the harge quantities of corncobs which every year heretofore have gone to waste, ci he converted into alcohol in sufficienlt quiantities to justify the erectioin of a distillng plant in con nection with a corn cannery. Result of Experiments. The departnient of agriculture sent two chemists to Hoopestpn to make experiments at a large cannery there. They have succeeded by simple meth ods of fermentation in getting a yield of elevei gollons of alcohol from a ton of green cobs, but similar methods, of eleven gallons of alcohol from a ton of green cobs, by'similar methods, concerning the experiments by one of the scientists of the department reads: ''At different times during the past twenty-five years the department has conducteed experiments along the same line, but with eoinnon field corn shalks. These tests show that there are 240 pounds of' fermentable sub stance in a ton of green cornstalks, which will yielhl about. half of their wei-ho ii absolute alcohol. In round ninhers I tol of stalks will pIroducc 100 p(ilIs of alcohol or 200 pounds of pr'441,: :its. As a galon of alCo ho weI2hs nearly Sevel poulnds, there shld hii1 1f ifteenl gallons of alcohol in a toil oif stalks.

The expense (' brilgilg thei I the poinit where they are east aside is <tlite as much as the perfect ears. Th.e addition of the corn on the cob adds further to the possibili ties of aletlhol obtainable from a ton of cobs and will have its influence in bringing the quantity to a greater fig ure.' Cost of Distilleries. It has become quite a habit with manufacturers inl various lines to at tach subsidiary pilatits to their factor ies to recover and utilize otherwise waste products. What the expense of attaching a distilling plant to a pack ing house would be has not yet been determined, but the -actual expense of listillilig the alcohol from corneobs should not be greater than 3 cents a gallon. As the cobs arc now a waste product and ani expense to dispose of, the cost of the raw material should not be large. A molasses distilling plant with a cap)acity of 10,000 gallons daily costs about $40,000, but it is thought that a smaller plant would do for most packing houses. The sajne possibilities that apply to distilling connected with a corn packng plant would obtain in the use of tomato parings, pea hulls, banana rinds and many other articles of vegetable re fuse. It is even possible at a small cost to remodel a brandy still so that. it can be used for brandy during thi'e fruit season and for the rema.inder of the year for manufacturing alcohol for use i-n the arts. How She Compromised. ''This somewhat. grasp)ing spirit,'' said Senator Burrows, in the course of a recent argument, ' 'reminds mec of a lady wh'lo dropped in the other day at a certain bank. ''Going to the paying teller's win dow~ she (oened her p)ocketbook, took out a check and pushed it under the brass grating. ''Cash t his please,' she said. 'The paying teller, after one glance at the check, pushed it back to the woman again. 'There is my husband 's signature,' said the woman excitedly. ''Yes, I know,' admit led the teller', 'but there is no amount.' ''Oh never mind that, said the woman impatiently. 'Give me what there is." A Lined Bodice. In making a bodice with a lining re member tliat while the lining itself should be well fitted to the figure the material should be a little looser. If it is stretched tightly over the lining the bodice will probably lose its shape and if the material is at all loosely woven it will give at the seams.
