St. Louis, Feb. 17. A new orchid which iequired five years of the cartful nursing that is required by all orchids to create and bring to flower, is in bloom at the Missouri gardens here. The parents of this orchid were crossed in February, 1915, the rood was ripened and planted, in October of that year and the bloom has just appeared.

It has been named the D. S. Brown orchid in honor of the late D. S. Brown, of Kirkwood, who ave to the garden a collection of orchtd plants valued at least, at and which brought the orchid collection at the garden to rank as the best in America.

According to Geo. K. Prinf, horticulturist of the garden, the history of this orchid demonstrates why the orchid will soon be placed, beyond the reach of milady, who now covets it for her corsage. Mr. Pring says: "The government recently has prohibited the importa tion' of orchid plants because of Ihe belief that certain injurious insects are brought ih with the plants, which come from the tropics.

You have seen how tedious is the development of orchid' plants from.feeed. The re Wm. A. 4 Doors West of Obituary. Samuel X.

At the age of years he moved with his parents to Iowa where he lived, until he was 16 years of age.

them preceding him in Infancy, and a son. Jay, following only a' few-short months ahead of the father. The old homestead was their only home from 1869 to 1909 when, on account of failing health, they retired from the farm and moved to Iola where lie lived until his ceath. He united with the Christian church in 1884 of which he was a member until-188 when he was transfered to I lie United Brethren and remained a member of this church the rest of Ik's lite. He left behind to mourn his death, a loving wire, seven children, four boys and three girls; 16 grandchildren, great-grandchildren, cne sister and one half-sister, besides a host of friends and neighbors.

Feb. 16. Commercial aerial navigation became a reality in the United States during the past year, rne suuaen cessation oi Hos tilities at the close of 1918 threw hundreds of airplanes into the market and many of these were purchased by private companies and re modeled for commercial use. Air plane manufacturers, whose ener gies had been devoted exclusively to the making of war machines, also turned their attention to the commercial possibilities of aircraft and have perfected several standard commercial types. It is estimated that there are more than 2,000 pri vately owned aircraft in the United States.

Five regular passenger routes were established; the airplane mail service, inaugurated. May 15, 1918, between New York and Washington as an experiment, was extended to Cleveland and Chicago ana put on a definite basis; and scores of private firms purchased aircraft and utilized them for the delivery of merchandise and newspapers and ror conducting aerial forest surveys and patrols. Still greater strides were made in Europe and Australia where there are few thickly populated centers that do not boast of regular raerial commercial traffic, either uy airplane or dirigible, or both. The delay in development of aeronautics In this country was attributed by the Manufacturers Aircraft Association today to "the failure of the United States government to establish landing fields, enact regulatory legislation and adopt any fixed policy." Inspired by aircraft manufacturers, Chambers of Commerce in at least 50 cities have undertaken to provide municipal landing fields for aircraft, built on specified lines as plotted by city planners and officials of the army air service, which has assumed unofficial supervision over the project, pending the adoption of Federal regulatory legislation. These cities include Buffalo, Boston, Cleveland, Chicago, Philadelphia, Xew Orleans, Richmond, Atlanta and Macon, St.

"Everybody knows of the Philip pines, but not so many folk know of this country's other South Sea insular possessions, small but numerous These include Guam, Wake, Midway and some 75 of the Guano islands, not to mention a portion of the 3a moa group." In-the American Samoan islands are to be found America's South Sea soldiers are described in a com munication to the society by Lorena Maclntyre Quinn. as follows: "When thinking of the insular pos sessions of the United States, we are apt to lose sight of thejaet that oi-r flag flies over a group of six tinv islands in the South Seas, comprising vhat is known as American Samoa Here our government maintains' naval station, one the island of Tu- tuila, at Pago, Pago, one of the fin est and safest harbors in the Soilh Seas.

"American Samoa is under the su- i pervision of the navy department of the United States.

17. The people of the new countries like Czechoslovak ia are turning to the Salvation Army in a remarkable manner, says Gen. Bra in well. Booth, head of the army. The army never has had an organi zation in Czecho-Slovakia.

and so anxious is tne government of that country" to get the army installed that all necessary buildings for the work have been offered free. Bulgaria and Poland probably will be "invaded" shortly in this friendly manner. Both of these countries are new territory for the Salvationists. The Vienna government has re quested the Salvation Army to as sist in the relief work in Austria, and General Booth has sent a com mission to Vienna to investigate the feasibility of embarking on this labor. The Germjnn government has asked him to co-operate with it in supplying milk in Germany, and he expressed the hope that the army might be able to do this.

General Booth disclosed the fact that the salvation Army never has ceased work in Bolshevist Russia, de spite conditions there. The army has si xor- seven establishments in Pe- trograd and twice as many in other sections of the country. Apparently the Reds have not been troubling the army workers, all of whom, was pointed out. are Russians or Finns, the British workers having been withdrawn. The army, among other things, is looking after war orphans and doing such rescue vorx as it can.

The ruling, it is taken, also supplies the guests aboard the ships in the harbor. Ships under foreign charter nea-ly all carry the red wine of Spain and Italy for rationing out to officers nn men. Under a previous ruliag of the treasury department, this stock of ship's wine was placed under lock and key while the vessel remains inside the three-mile limit.

Repre sentations by forei'u governmnt however, caused a reversal of the de cision. It was. pointed' out' that ship ping agents would be unable 'to get crews for vessels coming to the Unit ed States if such a course was i er- sisted in.

Warning of the danger of using internally" or' externally any preparation of which wood alcohol is a part is made by! the Industrial Research Laboratories of Chicago in a current bulletin. "We advocate the elimination of, public sale of wood alconol," says the bulletin, "and the strict regulation in industries where lis use is desirfd! 1 1 "Wood alcohol has been sold promiscuously in the past and the general public has never learned just the difference is between the vood alcohol, grain alcohol and denatured alcohol.

"Grain alcohol," says the bulletin, nr r.de from, fermentable material, corn, wheat and starch by distillation. "Denatured alcohol is grain alcohol treated with some product which t.iakes it impossible to use it for beverage purposes. The ordinary denatured alcohol sold today is denatured with wood alcohol which is very poisonous and dangerous. "Wood, alcohol is made from -wood waste which is placed into distilling apparatus and' a process 'called dry distillation is used which gives, in addition to the wood alcohol, several by products and charcoal. 'Several preparations havifig wood alcohol in them have come to our laboratories for examination.

It is possible that the manufacturers have been innocent of of the deadly effect of wood alcohol in preparations for internal and external use. Wood alcohol applied to the skin or scalp is absorbed by the tissues and has produced blindness, paralysis and insanity. The most dangerous preparations we have come in contact with are toilet articles used in barber shops. We warn our clients, they may warn their friends against hidden dangers lurking in the use of toilet articles that, have-been produced with deha-tured alcohol that has" been denatured with the treacherous demon wood alcohol."
