NEW WILMINGTON, Pa. (P).—A small matter of personal appearance brought one of the strongest emotions in recent tests here with a psychogal- vanic machine. It came when students of Westminster College were asked un- expectedly: Do you know your neck is dirty?” ‘The greatest agitation of the needle, however, was produced by real fear, when the students anticipated a slight electric shock. Foolish questions failed almost com- pletely to rouse signs of emotional re- sponse, according to John D. Lawther, director of the gsychologlul laboratory.

BY GEORGE HALADJIAN. By the Associated Press. CASTELO BRANCO, Portugal. — France is combing this country for ag- ricultural labor so closely that Portu- guese farming is itself facing a short- age of workers. With the approval of the ministry of labor in Paris, it is uaema. emm of employers’ organizations are Vi here with instructions to sign on as many workmen as they can recruit. From the province of Beira, Portugal’s corn belt, French agriculture, it is stated, hopes to draw whole battalions of laborers. Spring sowing time is here and the insufficiency of farm hands is acutely felt. Whole villages have been deserted by their male population and agricul- tural work is delayed. The French drain is adversely affecting the.wheat campaign” inaugurated last year in a supreme attempt to grow all the na- tion's bread at home. Duty Raised 50 Per Cent. ‘The government left no stone un- turned to make of the campaign a com- plete success. The duty on foreign ‘wheat was raised 50 per cent; the state supplied farmers with American motor tractors, with seeds and fertilizer; banks offered low-rate loans. Despite all these facilities, the pres- ent price of home-grown grain does not pay a penny of profit to the producers. An official of the Board of Agriculture said it was cheaper to buy foreign wheat than to grow the grain at home. High Wages Are Offered. ‘The bait held out by French employ- ers consists of high wages, good work- ing conditions and free tickets home an attraction far greater than the months of unremunerative toil re- quired to work the home farms. The authorities have tried to put all sorts of obstacles in the way of the emigration tide, but have been unable to arrest the ebb. Thousands of peas- ants continue to cross the border into Spain, where no passport formalities are required. Ostensibly they are bound for seasonal work at Huelva, but in reality they are heading for labor boats bound for French ports. Australia will reduce its expenditures chorals, for national defense.

'BURNING COAL MINE T0 BE PUT TO WORK New Process Expected to Utilize l Gas Escaping From Sub- terranean Blaze. | ZANESVILLE, Ohio (#).—Gaseous | vapors from a half-century-old coal |mine fire in Perry County are to be | compounded to serve mankind. | It is expected that a new manufac- | turing process can utilize the escaping |8as to produce refined gasoline and | dry ice. | Leo Ranney of Waterloo, Iowa, a coal {and ofl refiner, has applied for a pat- |ent covering & process for piping the | gas from the smoldering interior of the old shaft. The mine fire starteed in the 80s and is popularly believed to have been in- cendiary. At intervals the blaze leaps above the surface. Through crevasses caused by the fire gas and smoke emerge. The flames have destroyed millions of dollars’ worth of coal and considerable property on the surface. After all ef- forts to extinguish the subterranean blaze failed, it was agreed to let it “burn itself out,” a condition which would perhaps require a century or more. W, D.
