GARTER VS. RAILROAD CASE TO HIGH COURT Long months of litigation between the Carter Oil Company and John F. Welker and the Chicago and Eastern Illinois Railroad Company as to whether the railroad company owns oil and gas rights on the strip of roadway through" the MTC MTC MT Olue Estate No. 2-B, Hw. TOMATO DEBUNKED (Chicago Tribune) The tomato in the days of pur wasting the red pulp on the mere pleasure of eating.

After a time the tomato was generally discredited as a love charm. However, if there is a will to oelieve in the amorous effects of the juciest vegetable, some facts couid be deduced for an areument. Prof. C. C.

Furnas, the Yale chemist, and his wife in their book entitled "Man, Bread, and Destiny" relate that the Dtrth rate until 1933 was very low on St. Croix, one of the Virgin Islands. In that year tomatoes were introduced for commercial cultivation. As they were cheap the natives ate freely of them. And within a short time the birth rate rose and has ever since remained high.

However, the Furnases point out that this was not due to any aphrodisiac qualities in the tomato but to the improved health of the natives when, to a deficient diet consisting principally of cornmeal and fish, necessary vitamins were added, might result in a panic in the to-test which set pipe, fair McClosky. A success at either well would boom the Jasper play higher. MATTOON MT TC-MT RONALD COLEMAN and Thomas Mitchell in "LOST HORIZON" i VXl i tv 4- -X?

Among the bizarre problems the Red Cross handed itself when it started that first load of medicines off to China via the Burma road was the matter of dyeing 40,000,000 quinine tablets green. Green quinine doesn't taste any better than the other kind', but that's how the Chinese prefer it. Some years ago the Red Cross was passing out quinine to Chinese flood sufferers.

Chinese druggists got to collecting them and selling them, and to check this the Red Cross man on the spot got Borne vegetable dyes and colored his tablets green, telling all hands green tablets shouldn't be paid for.

The road dips through a valley that is highly malarial. Medical men have reported that unless there's plenty of quinine the truckers and repair crews wouldn't be able to keep going very long. Medicinps now being shipped (including aspirin, sulfanllimlde and other things, besides quinine) have cost around $300,000.

NAVY FAR AHEAD OF ITS SCHEDULE ON AIR BASE PROJECT Washington The U. S. navy la rushing the job of, setting up an "air Gibraltar" on Puerto Rico, and expects to have its vast air base there ready for use next June, a whole year ahead of schedule. The Job is a big one, Involving the filllng-in of hundreds of acre or swamp at Isla Grande, near San Juan, and the dredging of an adjacent bay. Catton Engineers had originally figured they could fill in the swamp with what they took out of the bottom of the bay, but when they got down to it they found out they couldn't wrong kind of dirt, or something.

So they've had to cut down a small mountain, whack it up into bits, and use that as a foundation. In spite of all of this, the job Is 'way ahead of time. Right now the navy can keep only about a dozen planes at Isla Grande. Next year at this time it 11 have more than 200 there. Shipbuilding- Poshed.

--The navy also has the throttle -wiae open on us snipDuuaing pro- gram, although the results aren't so noticeable. Number of workers employed on this program in government and private shipyards was 72,000 at the end of last June, It had jumped to 86,000 by the end of August, and rose 7,000 more during September. Eight of the 17 battleships which have been ordered are actually under construction, and two of the eight have been launched. Only one of the 12 airplane carriers contracted for is on the ways, and only six of the 48 cruisers. Twenty-seven of the cruiser contracts were signed in September, incidentally.

Work is ahead of schedule on eight of the 12 submarines under construction. Orders have been placed for 163 destroyers, and work has started on 15; In six cases, work is anywhere from two weeks to three jponths ahead of schedule. Lastly, navy recruiting is booming. In uniform now are 168,000 men. Nearly 40,000 are men who have enlisted since the first of this year.

Address All communications to THE JO URN AL-UAZE'i "i'B ALL PHONES 250 HALLOWEEN FUN Somebody Is always taking the Xun out of life. The trouble is that with some persons and on certain occasions the definition of fun is debatable. Halloween is one of the occasions. So once again the call goes out for a little common sense, a little discrimination between harmless pranks and vandalism.

If damage Is done to property, no matter how funny It may seem to the Halloween crowdr al the, tune, that is nothing short of vandalism and is punishable by law. Of course, the main point isn't. the law business some times a miscreant gets away undetected it's a civilized respect for things which belong to others and whose loss or damage may mean a real heartache for the owner. Even 'worse is any trick that does bodily harm to anyone. Fortunately, such things happen but seldom In Mattoon, and even then they are due to thoughtlessness rather than viciousness.

But it is well to remember that what wouldn't hurt one person might hurt another. There remains a whole bagful of traditional Halloween riles, and youngsters are continually thinking up new ones. And it's a pretty food guess that more fun is to be had from good-humored pranks which hurt nobody than from wanton destruction of property or dangerous tricks. Policemen would like to be broad-minded during the Halloween season they were young once, too. But they do have to remember that their Job is to protect life and property.

They are as ready as anyone to overlook a little fun, even If slightly embarrassing to nousenomers wnose aooroeus arc bewitched. That is. as long as it remains fun. Contral Illinois Deaths Jesse F. Chezem.

The C. St E. I. has contracted1 with drillers to explore the rightr of-way for oil but drilling was pre- vented by posting a bond. The -lower courts have held that the right-of- way deeds held by the railroad conveyed a We simple title.

The Illinois Supreme Court recently handed down a decision on a a similar case concerning Marion county land. The Illinois court held that a strip of land conveyed for a roadway did not carry title to oil and gas but was an easement only. Marlon County.
