Lindy and his principal St. Louis backers, Harry Hall Knight and Harold M. Bixby, both Ivanker.s, liave been swamped with invitations, asking the flier to visit every section of the country.

Speaking for Lindbergh, Knight, -!aid the flier had received so many! invitations “ we don't know where' .0 turn.” "We intend to get the best pro- fessional help there is to unravel ;he situation,” Knight added. Many Invitations Besides requests to attend avia- tion events in Seattle, Spokane, De- troit, Kansas City, Dayton, Ohio, and Minneapolis, Lindy has been invited to receptions staged solely in his honor in dozens of other cities, large and small. It will take him weeks to keep them all, if he ?o decides. In the meantime, the lir hero decided to reject all invi- tations specifying certain dates un- til a complete program is arranged Tor his proposed tour. Lindy close^l out his social en- gagements here last night by at- ending a banquet of the Industrial Club of St. Louis. This organiza- ‘ion is raising a $1,000,000 fund to enhance the prestige of St. Louis and Lindy told the club members he would help them. His speech, the longest he has made since ar- riving home, dealt chiefly with the purpose of the club. 328 comas IN COAL MINE DEFY WARDEN Have 14 Guards With Them; Refuse to Work or Come Out Unless Supplied With Cigarettes.

June 22.— Three hundred and twenty-eight prisoners who barricaded themselves in a prison mine at Kansas state peni- [ tentiary last night, today were left i to “ use their own judgment” about i coming out.

Meanwhile eleven prisoners above' ground were in solitary confinement j and many others under heavy guarl | following a prison riot which cli-! maxed the mutiny below ground.! One prisoner was •wounded. The 1 prisoners in the cell houses also took up the cry “ no cigarettes, no work, no peace.” Watchful Waiting Acting Warden Hudspeth report- ed all quiet today and a policy of "watchful waiting” adopted to bring the prisoners in the mine “<:o time.” Today the prisoners were being questioned closely to ascertain who was responsible for a plot to set fire to the twine factory within the walls.

Roosevelt Field, Long Island, N< Y., June 22.— Commander Richard E. Byrd of the monoplane America today frankly admitted he did not know approximately what hour he will take off for Paris. There is a slight possibility he may start at sunset this evening but it is more probable that he will depart tomor- row mornlrug. Weather conditions continue unfavorable. A storm has been, moving north from Nantucket along the Atlantic coast and there is also a low pres-1 sure area across the path of the i flight, between Newfoundland and j Ireland. | Plane Guarded ' The silver-bodied, gold winged' monoplane with the red, white and | blue letters, "America,” on its I sides^ remained in the hangar dur-l ing the early hours closely guarded ! •by a cordon of police.

Nearly fifty automobiles were parked all night in the vicinity of the hangar, their occupants sleep- ing in them so as to be on hand in the event of an early morning hop- off. There was considerable disap- pointment because Byrd and his three companions, Bert Acosta, the pilot, Lieut. George 0. Noville and Lieut Bernt Balchen did not get away at dawn, as some of the most optimistic expected. Tlie four men who are to make this flight in the interest of science all have no spectacular careers and each of them has a big individual following at the hangar. They are widely differing types.

N. H., June 22.— While James Steele, believed to be a na- tionally sought burglar today re- mained in a serious condition in a local hospital, where he was brought last night protesting his i nocence, after being shot by coun ty police, his alleged wife, Cather- ine Dodge, admitted extensive mau- rauding expeditions through the district. Came From Ne-w Y'ork Both Steele and Miss Dodge, who had been living together as Mr. and Mrs. Milton K. Dodge, are former residents of Dundee. N.

Loot from summer homes was found piled high in the barn of the West Swanzey house they had been occupying, incuding $2,000 worth of recently stolen antiques. Told of Bandits Miss Dodge, who staggered to the home of a neighbor, weak from the loss of blood, claimed htat she and \her "husband” had been at- tacked by three gunmen, and a po- lice search was begun for the "ban- dits.” In the meantime, country police officials had apprehended Steele, hiding in a "West Shatts- bury,- Vt., farmhouse, and carried him, wounded In the neck and left breast, to the hospital. When the woman went to the hospital, and faced the county po- lice, she broke down and admit- ted that she and Steele were bur- glars.

June 22.— Great Britain will not insist on her proposals for reduction in the size and period of life for capital ships, if the United States and Japan continue theii opposition to these suggestions made at the opening of the Tri- partite Naval Disarmament Con- ference, it was lear-cd today. Although the British are prepar- ed to drop their suggestions as re- gards capital ships, it is still unde- termined whether they will insist upon their recommendations for lightening the tonnage of cruisers. Admiral Saito. Japanese delegate, again today refused the 5-5-3 ratio for auxilliary ships but indicated he would make other concessions. Cards On Table British delegates feel that even though their suggestions as to capi- tal ships may be abandoned that the United States and Japan should appreciate the fact that they have laid their cards on the table and have given a very definite outline of their policy will be in 1931 when the YA ’ ashington treaty comes up for extension and modification.

Experts Comprouiise The experts reached their first compromise today ■when they ac- cepted the Washington system for measurement of tonnage, n.amely the displacement of ships with guns and munitions but without fuel and water.

Killingworth, Conn., June 22. — Mrs. Alice Burr’s famous hunting cat today created a new sensation when it came home dragging a four-foot black snake.

St. Louis, June 22.— Colonel I^harles A. Lindbergh, America’s ai" ’.dol, will return to New York Cit>' ■ this week to arrange his trans-con- '■.iucutal tour, it was learned here | iefinilely today.

The air hero will leave St. Louis 'oclay by his favorite air route,! weather conditions permitting, to | make a brief stop in Washington! before going on to New York. He will fly the entire distance in a bor-. rowed plane, leaving his precious, •The Spirit of St. Louis” behind in ! ■•are of friends in the St. Louis Air Mail Service. j

Why He Makes TripLindbergh's trip east will be un-

lertaken also to complete arrange-! iients for publication of a hook bas- ?d on the "log” of his trans-Atlan-' :ic flight. He I.eft his notes in Wash- ngton with Navy oflicers, when he anded from the United States cruis­er Itlemphis, and he will return to lie national capital to get the note.s

=uid the professional comment of S’avy officers.

Then Lindy will go back to New i'ork, the scene of the greatest ovr- ion ever accorded a human being

111 this continent. He will return, however, not to seek new ovations hut liopeful of retiring to the life of' semi-privacy he enjoyed in the metropolis before taking off on his air voyage to France.

After .■\dvisoThe more important reason for

his trip cast will be a desire to get )H'ofessiouaI advice in arranging his icrial tour. Lindy and his principal St. Louis backers, Harry Hall Knight and Harold M. Bixby, both Ivanker.s, liave been swamped with invitations, asking the flier to visit every section of the country. Neith-' :r Lindy npr his advisers has had any experience in an undertaking :>f tills nature so they decided to' call in professional aid.

Speaking for Lindbergh, Knight, -!aid the flier had received so many! invitations “ we don't know where' .0 turn.”

"We intend to get the best pro­fessional help there is to unravel ;he situation,” Knight added.

Many InvitationsBesides requests to attend avia­

tion events in Seattle, Spokane, De­troit, Kansas City, Dayton, Ohio, and Minneapolis, Lindy has been invited to receptions staged solely in his honor in dozens of other cities, large and small. It will take him weeks to keep them all, if he ?o decides. In the meantime, the lir hero decided to reject all invi­tations specifying certain dates un­til a complete program is arranged Tor his proposed tour.

Lindy close l out his social en­gagements here last night by at- ending a banquet of the Industrial

Club of St. Louis. This organiza- ‘ ion is raising a $1,000,000 fund to enhance the prestige of St. Louis and Lindy told the club members he would help them. His speech, the longest he has made since ar­riving home, dealt chiefly with the purpose of the club.

Lansing, Kansas. June 22.— Three hundred and twenty-eight prisoners who barricaded themselves in a prison mine at Kansas state peni- [ tentiary last night, today were left i to “ use their own judgment” about i coming out. The convicts, detailed to underground work, mutinied j when refused cigarettes. i

Fourteen prison guards were | overpowered and an ultimatum sent' out “ no cigarettes, no coal.” !

Wardens Ultimatum |“ They can stay until they get!

ready to eat,” Acting Warden R. H. i Hudspeth declared today and he; added he intended to starve the' prisoners out. “ They can use their own judgment,” he said.

Meanwhile eleven prisoners above' ground were in solitary confinement j and many others under heavy guarl | following a prison riot which cli-! maxed the mutiny below ground.! One prisoner was •wounded. The 1 prisoners in the cell houses also took up the cry “ no cigarettes, no work, no peace.”

Watchful Waiting Acting Warden Hudspeth report­

ed all quiet today and a policy of "watchful waiting” adopted to bring the prisoners in the mine “ <:o time.”

Today the prisoners were being questioned closely to ascertain who was responsible for a plot to set fire to the twine factory within the walls. Prison officials were in pos­session of three knives and flre-| brands taken from prisoners after 1 the riot in the prison yards plans had been made, according to guards, ‘ to set the twine factory on fire and I effect a wholesale escape. !

Roosevelt Field, Long Island, N< Y., June 22.— Commander Richard E. Byrd of the monoplane America today frankly admitted he did not know approximately what hour he will take off for Paris. There is a slight possibility he may start at sunset this evening but it is more probable that he will depart tomor­row mornlrug. Weather conditions continue unfavorable.

A storm has been, moving north from Nantucket along the Atlantic coast and there is also a low pres-1 sure area across the path of the i flight, between Newfoundland and j Ireland. |

Plane Guarded 'The silver-bodied, gold winged'

monoplane with the red, white and | blue letters, "America,” on its I sides remained in the hangar dur-l ing the early hours closely guarded ! •by a cordon of police. Ropes have j been drawn about the hangar to I keep the throngs of curious awayl from the airplane.

Nearly fifty automobiles were parked all night in the vicinity of the hangar, their occupants sleep­ing in them so as to be on hand in the event of an early morning hop- off. There was considerable disap­pointment because Byrd and his three companions, Bert Acosta, the pilot, Lieut. George 0. Noville and Lieut Bernt Balchen did not get away at dawn, as some of the most optimistic expected.

Tlie four men who are to make this flight in the interest of science all have no spectacular careers and each of them has a big individual following at the hangar. They are widely differing types.

“ Good weather at the start and at the finish is the thing that is most needed.

Keene. N. H., June 22.— While James Steele, believed to be a na­tionally sought burglar today re­mained in a serious condition in a local hospital, where he was brought last night protesting his i nocence, after being shot by coun ty police, his alleged wife, Cather­ine Dodge, admitted extensive mau- rauding expeditions through the district.

Came From Ne-w Y'orkBoth Steele and Miss Dodge, who

had been living together as Mr. and Mrs. Milton K. Dodge, are former residents of Dundee. N. Y., and Detroit, according to the wo­man’s testimony.

Loot from summer homes was found piled high in the barn of the West Swanzey house they had been occupying, incuding $2,000 worth of recently stolen antiques.

Told of BanditsMiss Dodge, who staggered to

the home of a neighbor, weak from the loss of blood, claimed htat she and \her "husband” had been at­tacked by three gunmen, and a po­lice search was begun for the "ban­dits.” In the meantime, country police officials had apprehended Steele, hiding in a "West Shatts- bury,- Vt., farmhouse, and carried him, wounded In the neck and left breast, to the hospital.

When the woman went to the hospital, and faced the county po­lice, she broke down and admit­ted that she and Steele were bur­glars.

Geneva. June 22.— Great Britain will not insist on her proposals for reduction in the size and period of life for capital ships, if the United States and Japan continue theii opposition to these suggestions made at the opening of the Tri­partite Naval Disarmament Con­ference, it was lear-cd today.

Although the British are prepar­ed to drop their suggestions as re­gards capital ships, it is still unde­termined whether they will insist upon their recommendations for lightening the tonnage of cruisers.

Admiral Saito. Japanese delegate, again today refused the 5-5-3 ratio for auxilliary ships but indicated he would make other concessions.

Cards On TableBritish delegates feel that even

though their suggestions as to capi­tal ships may be abandoned that the United States and Japan should appreciate the fact that they have laid their cards on the table and have given a very definite outline of their policy will be in 1931 when the YA’ashington treaty comes up for extension and modification.

The conference today settled The clown to technical discussion of the

three proposals before it. At eleven o'clock a committee of nine experts went to work on tlie proposals for the purpose of defining terms and insuring that thbre will be no mis­understanding when negotiations begin. The American members of the teclinical committee are Ad­miral Schofield, Captain Adolphus Andres and Captain W. W Smyth.

Experts Comprouiise The experts reached their first

compromise today ■when they ac­cepted the Washington system for measurement of tonnage, n.amely the displacement of ships with guns and munitions but without fuel and water. The British had contended that the tonnage should be estimat­ed with the ships in full commis­sion ready for action.

The British make no mystery of the fact that when they specify their needs they will be conside.'- atiy greater than what the British believe the American requirements to be.

Crowds of common gathered along the curbings of the Mall and inspected the debutantes waiting in their cars for entry to the palace, and again the criticlsims of the -women in the crowds were hardly inaudible. The newspapers have protested against this practice of the common people gathering for a “ Roman holiday” at the expense of waiting debutantes who sit for long periods in the line of carriages, their limousines being really cages of glass in ^'hich they are on ex­hibition.

which enables flyers to obtain an artificial horizon and to calculate positions while in flight. He also invented a sun conlpass and a drift indicator. He is pleasant in his de­meanor and very approachable as evidenced by the fact that he has already autographed hundreds of photographs and cards for strang­ers. He quietly expresses confidence that the “ America” will span the Atlantic without mishap. He Is mar ried and has several children.

Acosta a Dare DevilAcosta is the dare-devil type. He

is tall and dark-skinned with a mop of coal black hair. He was born on Januarj’ 1, 1895 in San Diego, Cal., and is of Spanish descent. He is married and has two children. For years he was a noted automo­bile racing driver.

He began flying in 1910 and quickly became one of the greatest pilots in the country. He holds an endurance and distance record from Omaha, Neb., to Philadelphia, a dis­tance of 1.220 miles which he covered in eleven hours and twenty minutes. He was also holder of the American altitude record of 22,500 feet which he made at Dayton, Ohio, without oxygen. He is at present co-holder with Clarence Chamberlin of the world’s endur­ance record of 51 hours 11 minutes and 20 seconds made last April.

Lieut. XovilleLieut. Noville is a stock, square­

shouldered energetic man who has a habit of constantly removing his glasses. He is the assistant pilot and flight engineer. He is a native of Cleveland and was born April 24, 1890. During the war he was in naval aviation on the Italian front and was decorated by Italy for dis­tinguished service. In 1920 he was superintendent of the United States air mail. Later he was appointed the government’s representative at aircraft factories where planes for the service were under construc­tion. He is married and makes his home in San Francisco.

Youngest MemberLieut. Balchen, the fourth in the

party who will make the flight, is the youngest, being only 27- He is a decided blonde, with light blue eyes and ruddy complexion. He was born in Norway. But last w'eek took out his American naturalization papers. He is unmarried. He met Byrd last year at Spitsbergen where Balchen had been sent by his gov­ernment to assist Amundsen in pre­paring for his flight across the top of the world. Balchen also helped prepare the skis for the Josephine Ford, the ship Byrd flew in over the North Pole. Balchen of late has been test pilot for the Atlantic Air­craft Company at Hasbrouck Heights, N. J., where he flew the America in its early tests. His status on the flight is that of a passenger; also he is capable of helping out the flyers in countless ways, even navi­gating the plane whenever Byrd takes the stick.

Commander Byrd said he will fly a new course across the Atlantic. He will steer on almost a straight line across the ocean, flying further south than Lindbergh did when he took the great circle route.

An indication that Byrd will fly further than Paris was seen today wiien it was learned that Thomas H. Kinkade, fleld engineer for the Wright aeronautical corporation, builders of the three whirlwind engines with wiiich the America is empowered, has been suddenly ordered to take the first boat for Europe. He will go to Paris to look over the engines of the America when it arrives there, lending strength to jhe belief that Byrd in­tends to so some flying either in or from Europe, or possibly back to the United States.

Kinkade gave the motors a final test late yesterday and pronounced them in excellent condition for the hop-off.

“ KIWANS” EAT, DO STUNK WITH, EGGS

Hear Prof. Kirkpatrick Talk On Poultry, See Austen Cheney Do Queer Tricks.

Professor William Kirkpatrick of the Connecticut Agricultural col­lege at Storrs gave a talk on poul­try this noon before the Kiwanls club at the Hotel Sheridan. He recited the growth of the poultry industry and showed what it meant to New England and Connecticut. It was news to many of those pres­ent to hear that some of the finest poultry and best eggs produced are raised within a radius of ten miles of Manchester.

What the egg producers are aim­ing at is more efiBcient hens Prof. Kirkpatrick said. It is estimated that there are approximately 400 million hens in the country and of that number half are ineflicient. The ones that are not efficient eat just as much as the others. Pro­fessor Kirkpatrick is a ready speak­er and knows his subject thorough­ly. He gave the Kiwanians some very interesting information along poultry lines.

Fayette B. Clarke was the lucky man today and won the prize do­nated by Emil Hohenthal, a search­light.

Two new members were admit­ted, Elmer Thienes, secretary of the Hartford County Y. M. C. A., and Harold West, of the firm of H. H. West & Son.

About half a dozen of the mem­bers went to New Britain today to attend the meeting there. Those present at the luncheon were re-

■ minded to reserve Che date of July 13 at which time Edward J. Holl will entertain the club at his Bolton summer home.

Flip Goes the Egg.In keeping with the talk on eggs

an egg salad was a feature of the menu and Austin Cheney gave an Interesting demonstration in phy­sics. He exhibited a hard boiled egg with the shell removed and a quart milk bottle. The trick was to get the egg within the bottle, the neck of which was smaller than the egg, without breaking the lat­ter. Mr. Cheney lighted two matches and carefully placed them inside the bottle and the egg on top. When the matches had burned a few moments the egg was drawn unbroken into thr> bottle.

The next trick was to remove the egg whole from the bottle which, Mr. Cheney said, could be success­fully done. He then raised the bottle In his hand, took a long breath and sucked the egg out with­out any trouble. The demonstra­tion brought down the house.

Indianapolis, Ind.— Harkening to the lesson of the Mississippi flood, Indiana farmers this spriife bought and planted twice as many forest seedlings as in any previous year, according to the Indiana conserva­tion commission.

The State nursery, which dis­tributes the yfluthful trees at cost to Hoosiers, has distributed more than 250,000 this year.

“ The dire need of more trees in this country is now being Illustrat­ed by the devastating floods in the South which could have been lessened in destructiveness, if not eliminated, had the country pos­sessed proper forests,” Richard Lieber, conservation commission director, said.

Conservation official are shap­ing their “program to produce a million forest seedlings for the spring of 1930 with the anticipa­tion that the demand may even e.x- ceed this figure.

Premier Tanaka Looking Af­ter Ministry, Seeking Strong Man For Job.

Tokio— A good job, paying a salary of approximatly $4,000 per voar, is looking for an incumbent in Tokio. It is equally true th^ several would-be incumbents are locking for the job but for some reasonHhe Job and the man have not found each other yet.

The job in question is none ether than minister of foreign affairs, a position vacated during April by Baron Kljuro Shlndehara, who held It for about three years until the exigencies of politics forced him in to private life.

When General Baron Gi-lchi Ta­naka, president of the Seiyugal Party, became premier, he quickly filled all posts of his cabinet ex­cept that of foreign minister. He announced that, temporarily, he would hold both the premiership and the foreign affairs portfolio himself.

Speculation immediately became general as to who would be ap­pointed to this tremendously im­portant post when General Tana­ka got ready to relinquish It. The names of two men who are well known in the United States Imme­diately were mentioned along with numerous others^

Ambassador MentionedForemost among those regarded

as the most likely selection and It Is believed that his appointment might have been announced before this were it not for the problem of selecting his successor at Washing­ton.

Ambassador Matsudira, it Is felt here, is eminently qualified for the post by reason of his strong personality and his long experience in the diplomatic service. He was vice-minister of foreign affairs at the time of his appointment to Washington and before that held the post of chief of the American and European affairs bureau of the time of his appointment to Wash­ington and before that held the post of chief of the American and European affairs bureau of the foreign office and he has served in embassies or legations at Paris, London and Peking.

Also prominently mentioned at the time of the change in cabinets, was Masanao Hanihara, who was Japanese ambassador at Washing­ton at the time the immigration law, with its Japanese exclusion clause, was passed. Since his re­tirement from the Washington am­bassadorship Mr. Hanihara has been on the foreign office waiting list and there is a strong section of opinion which believes that the diplomatic service too long has been deprived of his undoubted talents. Nevertheless, it is consider­ed improbable that Hanihara ill be selected to succeed Baron Shide- hara.

Unless Ambassador Matsudalra is appointed, the general opinion is that the post will go to Kenklchi Yoshizawa, the Japanese minister to China. Chinese affairs and poli­cies loom larger on the Japanese horizon just now than any other and Minister Yoshzawa’s long ex­perience at Peking and his admit­ted skill in dealing with the com­plicated Chinese situation since his appointment in 1923 make him a strong possibility.

Other PossibilitiesSeveral others of lesser fame and

far less experience have been men- tiond but it is believed that the final choice will lie between Ambas­sador Matsudair and Minister Yoskizawa. with the odds rather inclined to favor Matsudalra be­cause of his higher rank and wider experience In the diplomatic ser­vice.

Meantime, while General Tanaka is supervising the conduct of the foreign affairs department, the ac­tual direction of the ministry Is In the hands of K. Debuchl, the vice minister. General Tanaka has in­dicated that this arrangement, at present, is working to his satisfac­tion and that he is in no hurry to appoint a foreign minister. It is probable, therefore, that no deci­sion will be made until after ample time has been given to a full con­sideration of the situation.

COOUDGE RAINMAKER SAY DAKOTA NATIVES

No Rain For Three Years In Black Hills Before He Came They Declare.

Rapid City, S. D., June 22.— The Black Hills, according to the na­tives, have suffered from severe droqght for three years past.

If so, and they undoubtedly are telling the truth, those same na­tives owe a large vote of thanks to President CoolldgA. As a rainmaker he is unexcelled. It has rained in­termittently every day since he has been here, hailed once in a big way and generally placed the eastern visitors in considerable of a quan- dry as to whether to sally forth in white flannels or slickers.

The rain Is not helping the fish­ing any, driving the troUt under the banks and muddying the streams <cs It does, but it Isn’t de­terring the president any from try­ing his hand at the sport. In the past two days he has been joined by Mrs. Coolldge, who suddenly de­cided that chasing the not so elu­sive trout afforded about as much excitement as anything else in the Black Hills. Yesterday afternoon they went out together. The Presi­dent caught six to Mrs. Coolidge’s two.

And meanwhile, a long waiting public is about to get an eye picture of President Coolldge, hip boots, rod and reel, wading about in Squaw Creek. After dodging the movie men and photographers for a whole year, he apparently has decidedly he has become a suffi- ently proficient fisherman to per­mit action pictures and he has promised the boys an early engage­ment on the banks of the creek.

NEW FUEL MACHINE TO CUT COAL COST

ON OCEAN LINERSPhiladelphia.— Officials of the

Philadelphia Navy Yards announce the perfection of a gpeclal appara­tus for pulverizing coal for marine use which it is predicted wil. cut the fuel operation cost of ocean go­ing vessels in half. The Invention will mean the saving of approxi­mately 12 per cent of the total costs of a ship, according to C. S. Jefferson, head of the fuel conser­vation section of the U. S. Shipping Board.

The apparatus is the result of several years of work by the fuel experts of the Shipping Board in the local navy yard. Tests show that cheap coal pulverized by a crusher on board ship then forced by compressed air into burners .gives the same efficiency as oil. Coal burned under the present system gives approximately 4,000 British Thermal units less than by use of the new apparatus. Thus the invention not only does away with the present system of “ hand­firing.” but also gives as much beat as oil with a great deal less expense.

Coal, costing 90 cents a ton, has been tried out and proven satis­factory with the new apparatus. The cost of installing machinery for burning and crushing the coal is about the same as for the pres­ent oil burners or coal burners, of­ficials say.

A Shipping Board vessel usin,g the new machinery will put to sea before the summer is over for a long practical test of the apparatus Jefferson announced.

Government officials predict the apparatus will soon be installed on the 300 Shipping Board vessels now engaged in ocean traffic and probably in the near future on the remaining 500 vessels of the Ship­ping Board.

KANSAS WHEAT SUFFERING FROM

ELECTRIC STORMSTopeka, Kansas. — “ Electric

storms” in southwest Kansas, are said to be “ Electrocuting” the wheat, according to testimony of a number of f.armers in that section. S. D. Flora, state weather observer, announces that electric storms have been prevalent in the region, but declines to entirely credit the “ electrocutions.”

Flora’s statement followed re­cent reports that thousands of acres of wheat had been destroyed by the strange phenomenon. The theory Is that during excessively dry wea­ther. electric charges are generated in the 8ust laden air. Objects In­sulated from the earth are charged with static electricity. Farmers have reported seei%g balls of fire over their fields at night, and find­ing their fences and windmills charged.

It is a question as to whether the changes affect the wheat; how­ever, It has been proved that after such storms there remain streaks indicating some damage, and ,as the storms always occur in connec­tion with drying winds and dust storms, it is possible they may be the cause of the damage. Flora said.

Motorists traveling across Kan­sas, where the wheat has been re­ported killed, fiiid it necessary to trail a wire or chain behind their automobiles to dissipate the static electricity which otherwise would interfere with the Ignition system.

HARTFORD GETS CONTRACTWashington, June 22.— The

Pratt & Whitney Aircraft company of Hartford. Conn., today was awarded a contract by the Navy Department for thirty-nine “Wasp” nine-cylinder radial air-cooled en­gines of 410 horsepower. The cost is $377,087.

The engines, similar to ones used by the Navy in establishing five new world records recently, will be Installed in planes for shipboard use.

BOOK OP THE WEEK

Our .selection for tlje week is “ The Week-End Book” (Double- day-Page), in which the publish­ers have had the bright idea of providing an entire vacation’s readii>g. In one volume may be found Don Marquis’ “ Old Soak’s History;” some of Christopher Morley’s essays; one of Edna Ferber’s best stories; humorous verse of F. P. A. and a reprint of “ The Constant Nymph.” Par­ticularly recommended to sea voyagers and vacationers.Out from the western ranch

where Mary Roberts Rinehart has been chasing sunsets during odd summer months, there has come a lale to which the author has ap­plied the uawestern title of “ Lost Ectasy” (Doran).

For some time the range riders for Mons. Doran have been shoot­ing their way into the cabin of this particular chuck-line writer, and have stood whooping It up for Mrs. Rinehart’s forthcoming volume. We have been told that it was Mrs. Rinehart's very best; that it was a fine c’aronicle of the passing of the cattle barons: that it would be the summer’s very biggest seller. We are certain of the latter.

Let us peer within the covers. On Page 1, old Uncle Lucius Dowl­ing lies dying, leaving his ranch and steers and cowboys to his city­dwelling offspring, not the least of whom is Kay, the bobbed-haired granddaughter.

Love Takes a Hand On Page 15 they all are headed

toward the cobalt blue of the west­ern hills, including Herbert, “ papa’s secretary,” who is soft and club- bish and has lanolined hair. Does he love Kay? And how!

On Page 21 “ a tall figure moved forward, touched its Stetson hat, stood immobile.” It was Tom Mc­Nair, the handsome, devil-may-care cowpuncher. On Page 23 they have

.Mary Roberts Rinehart, author of “ Lost Ectasy”— in whicli east meets

■west.reached the ranch. Sub-title: “ Good night, Mr. McNair. . . . ” "His smile warmed and even thrilled her.”

Oh, yes, Tom McNair had sex ap­peal, as all the gals within 40 miles of the ranch had reason to know. By Page 35 he Is taking Kay for a ride out on the range, is singing a verse from “ The Cowboy’s La­ment,” and “ he was astounded to see tears in her eyes.” She has puffed a cigaret and Tom has told

her "nice ladie* don't waoke onl here,”

Here Cqpies they Clash Meanwhile conversations between

characters are overheard as casual­ly out there in the great open spaces as they are from behind the screen of drawing rooms in the second act. Can It be she falling In love with Tom? This cannot go on! They Utc in different woflds. East Is sophis­ticated and west is cowpuncher and never the twain shall mingle.

Page 50— Herbert, the secretary, and Tom have clashed over who’s going to take Kay to a party. Sub­title: “ He’s not your kind!'* “ Ah, but he’s a man and not a tailor’s dummy, you’re atrald!”

Pages 60 to 80— Tom has gone' down to the ronnd-up, won prizes, and gone on a swell drunken de­bauch. What sort of a cowboy hero is it who doesn’t? Kay, thinking she has driven him to drink, meets him up-rr. his return, clad In hei nightie. Moonlight. Camera! Sub­title: “ I’m not worth it!” “ Tom!”

The Superficial East Back east again. How superficial

they all are! Kay is wilting from love. They all see It and hoist an­other cocktail. Meanwhile Tom, who stayed west, has killed a conven­ient Indian, which gives the plot a chance to send him scooting east to join Kay. Of course Tom gets swanked oft city cocktails, becomes the butt of the city boys, and las­soes a motorist. In disgrace he flees westward. But KaY has seen the bull in the chinashop, as ft were.

Cut-back to west. Tom’s western gal begins to demand matrimony. He has gone to the aid of the squaw of the Indian he killed. He has been acquitted of the killing. Sub­title: “ God keeps sort of a balance sheet, Tom, and the way you’ve acted this winter pays off a lot of scores. . . . ” “ I only did what any white man would have done.”

Back east again, Kay decides tc wed Herbert, the secretary. But her heart’s in the west. Shh, there we have the title cue: "Lost ectasy!” Meanwhile, the ranch game on the fritz, Tom has gone riding with a circus outfit.

Suddenly She Knew Does Kay go to the show and see

him? Don't be foolish, Gertie! Sub­title: “ Suddenly she knew what she was going to do. She was going to Tom McNair if he wanted her.”

Tom gets shot up in an old fend. Things go from bad to worse. He takes to cattle raising. But It does­n’t go. Kay. the city daughter, toils and sweats. There is a show-dOWn. Tom beats it.

But why go on? 'They get togethr er on the last page again! 'Wher'e- with we rest our case. The last part of the book is the best. There is some shrewd' writing, with long flashes of character comprehen­sion.

For further information on €Otir« punchers we refer you to an yth ^ by Will James or Ross Santee, both of whom have "punched.” For tha most part “ Lost Ecstasy” seems to us cliche-cluttered and done in the fashion of the sub-titles.

Some day someone really going to write a novel of the west and there will be no "cowboy and the lady” situation in it.

OOLLH)ES WTTH DEER Winsted, Conn., June 22.— A

deer leaping across the highway between New Hartford and Win­sted today plunged into a machine driven by J. A. Stern of Hartford, and crashed head foremo't through the windshield. The animal with­drew its head, fell to the roadway, and then jumped away almost be­fore anyone realized what happen­ed.

Stern was accompaneid by his father. J. S. Stern, also of Hart­ford. Almost automatically Stern brought his machine to a standstill with the impact and escaped with­out harm though badly frightened.

Praises ByrdProf. Phelps in presenting Com­

mander Byrd for a degree took oc­casion to comment on the com­mander’s naval record, saying “ he received in 19 24 seventeen citations for service above the call to duty. Four of these were for bravery, two for e.xtraordinary heroism in saving lives. In a report submitted to Congress in 1924 twenty-two de­tailed reports of fitness for promo­tion were mentioned.

“ We all look up to Commander Byrd because he was the first man to look down upon the North Pole. His success in this amazing exploit was no accident; it was the crown­ing event of a career in naval avi­ation distinguished by patience as well as by audacity.”

Of Mr. Lawrence, Prof Phelps said: “ From the very beginning he has believed in the possibility of his machine and it is ownng to his qualities of mind and heart that today we have the complete con­quest of the land, the sea, and the air.”

LINDBERGH POSTAGE STAMPS HERE SOON

Following the presentation of the letters and awards, the address to the undergraduates was given by Francis McCann and the class will was read by Henry Janssen. Next came the singing of the class song, the words of which w'ere composed by Paul Packard and the music by Esther Sutherland.

The students then marched out of the assembly hall downstairs and out into the tennis court in the rear of the scliool building where the class ivy was planted with appropriate exercises.

In giving the Ivy Oration, Charles Treat, president of the se­nior ciass, spoke as follows:

Undergraduates: As these, the closin.g days of our high school ca­reer, draw' to an end, there is with­in ourselves a feeling of joy and sorrow— joy because we have fin­ished a four year exposure to high school studies and should be able to shoulder our share of the rer sponsibilities of life; and sorrow' because we are breaking off many of the friendships of our high school days and because we shall never again occupy the place we have held during the past four years in this community. However, throughout our lives we shall be bound to our Alma Mater with the strong ties of love and reverence for her. The.se bonds are represent­ed by the ivy.

Our Curriculum has not been made solely of academic work. On the contrary, it has consisted of many extra-curriculum activities such as athletics, debating, dramat­ics, and social clubs. Our athletic teams have been very successful. The football team was the best that ever wore the red and white; the basketball team was remarka­ble; the track, tennis and baseball teams have just concluded excep­tional seasons. As for the debating team, it was made up of real ora­tors. The dramatic club has pre­sented several out-standing per-

year; “ go to It” with the same old fightinig spirit and you are bound to come out on top. The Alumni ■will look to you for the honor and reputation of S. M. H. S.; just dig right in and you can’t lose.

Seniors: ’With the presentation or this trowel to the Juniors, we shall have ended our responsibilities here. Tomorrow nfght we shall no longer be Seniors of S. M. H. S. but Freshmen in the paths of life. We must go out with the same spirit and be successful in the positions that await us. In doing so, let us not forget the underlying meaning of this ivy. Let us remember that

're a few of a vast number of the Alumni of S. M. H. S., who are working for its cause. Let us also join the Verplanck Foundation and attribute to its success, always keeping in mind our S. M. H. S. days.

In his response to President Treat’s oration, James McCaw, president of the Junior class spoke as follows:

“ Mr. President and friends:“ In accepting this trowel, we,

the Juniors, realize that we are as­suming the responsibilities of Sen­iors, grave, serious, heavy respon­sibilities. May we never forget that as Seniors we are leaders in all the activities of the school. If the activities succeed we have done our duty well. If they fail, we have neglected our duty some­where, and shall blame no one'but ourselves.

“ The worthy class of 1927 has made an enviable record for us to equal, to say nothing of surpassing. The success, this year, of the de­bating teams, of the Dramatic club, of Somanhis haa been due largely to the endeavor of the members of the class of 1927. But the class of 1926 has been watch­ing and learning and aiding when­ever it was necessary. We feel now that it is our turn to assume these responsibilities.

“ As for athletics, enough mem­bers of the class of 192 8 are al­ready on all oif the teams to form the nucleus of next year’s war­riors. They have passed the pro­bationary period— and it is time for them to lead the way. As a class we shall do our best to keep S. H. H. S. athletic standards high.

“ And now, Mr. President, and members of the class of 1927, we, the class of 1928, bring our greet­ings to you. ' May each of you have success in the ambition which is dearest to your heart. May your disappointments be few and your attainments many. We thank you for the noble example you have set us in the academic work, social or­ganizations and athletic accom­plishments of our school.

With those high standards ener before us, we assume the duties of Seniors, with the acceptance of this trowel.

At the evening program President Treat will give the address of wel come and there will be the class poem, prophecy, history and presen­tation of gifts. Those in charge of the program are as follows: Wel come, Charles Treat; music, George Smith, chairm’an; Walter Bradley, Earle Rohan, Russell Moore, Char­les Treat, Stuart Robinson; poem. Paul Packard; prophecy, Muriel Treat, chairman; Harriet Rich mond, Mae Clune, Arthur Kemp; history, Louise Phelphs, chairman; Elizabeth "Vennard, Betty Robbins; presentation of gifts, Eileen Dono­hue, chairman; Eunice Hamilton, Edith Balch, Francis McCann, Rus­sell Gould.

PASSENGERS LOSERS BY TROLLEY SCHEDULE

More Waiting at North End By Incoming Riders on the Rock­ville Line.

Only a Few Ordered By Post- office, However, as Airmail Demand Is Light.An allotment of Lindbergh air

mail stamps will arrive at the South Manchester Postoffice in a few days. Postmaster Oliver F. Toop said today. Because of expect­ed small demand for these stamps, however, only about 200 have been ordered. It appears that due to the poor connections by which Man­chester mail can be sent to Brain- ard Field in time for air mail deliv­ery, only a few of these stamps are necessary. The only advantage of air mail delivery Insofar as Man­chester patrons are concerned lies in communication with distant points.

The new air mail stamps are dedi­cated by the postoffice department at Washington as a tribute to Colo­nel Charles A. Lindbergh, the in­trepid air mail pilot who completed the first non-stop flight from New York to Paris. The stamps are the same size as the ones previously used. The central design represents the airplane which Colonel Lind­bergh used, “ The Spirit of St. Louis.” Across the top of the stamp in white Roman letters are the words, “ United States postage” with “ Lindbergh Air Mail” directly be­neath.

At the left of the central design appears coast line of North America w'ith the words, “ New York” in small letters, and to the right ap­pears coast line of Europe showing Ireland, Great Britain and France with the word “ Paris.” A dotted line, depicting the course of the flight to France, connects the two cities. At the bottom of the stamp in shaded letters is the word “ Cents” and in both lower corners are the white numerals, “ 10.” The stamp is enclosed with a straight line border and is pale blue.

These stamps were officially plac­ed on sale in St. Louis and other large cities last Saturday.

The new schedule on the Hart- ford-Rockville lines which goes'in­to effect on Sunday will present advantages and disadvantages to commuters who connect with the Manchester Green and Crosstown cars at Depot Square.

Under the old schedule Rockville cars bound for Hartford were due at Depot Square at 40 minutes af­ter the hour. The new arrange­ment will bring this car to' the Square at 3 3 minutes after, whic’i will mean a wait of 27 minutes be­fore the next Manchester Green car pulls out. On the other hand, cars coming from Hartford, which usually reached Manchester at 10 minutes before the hour, will now reach there six minutes later, meaning a wait of only four min­utes for the Green car.

Crosstown cars, which leave at 15 and 45 after the hour will not connect so closely with the Rock­ville cars. Passengers on Hartford bound cars will wait 12 minutes and those on Rockville cars will have to wait 19 minutes.

Setting off the advanta,ges against the disadvantages, the rid­ing public scores at net loss.

ITALY’S ‘BOOK WEEK’TO BOOST READING

Florence.— To stimulate a taste for reading and to popularize Ital­ian books, a group of literary men have Just carried out a “ Book ■Week” throughout the country.

Not only have the booksellers’ windows been unusually tempting with a display of the best and brightest wares, but in all the large cities book fairs have been held in some central square. In Piazza Venezia at Rome, in Piazza S. Marco at Venice, beneath the ar­cades of Piazza Vittorio Emanuele at Florence, crowds have gathered round gaily decorated stalls piled high .with books likely to appeal to the average reader and sold . at popular prices.

In Florence thousands of volumes were purchased at. the fair. In the theaters on Italian plays were per­formed and In public halls well- known authors delivered lectures on the importance .of reading as a

, factor of hanpiness.

Mr. and Mrs. Lafayette J. Rob­ertson and their son Lafayette Jr., were hosts last evening to more than fifty members of the Man­chester Garden club at their sum­mer home, 943 East Middle Turn­pike. All of the officers of the club were present, as well as mem­bers from all sections of this town, Talcottvllle, Bolton and Rockville.In the party were prominent town and Chamber of Commerce offi­cials, business and professional men who accompanied their wives. The membership which is climbing within the first year to the 100 mark is composed mainly of women. There are, however, a number of men enrolled who are enthusiastic gardeners and pro­fessional horticulturists and land­scape experts.

The evening— the longest in the year— was perfect for garden in­spection and around seven o'clock the members began to gather at the interesting, old-fashioned farm­house which is built as was the custom years ago, near the road­side. Motorists to and from Bol­ton are familiar with the Robert­son place and its extensive flower and vegetable gardens, on both sides of the road.

A Delightful Ensemble *The delightful gardens are in ■

complete accord with the rambling old-fashioned farmhouse, and need little description to Manchester residents. They slope gently for rods toward the east and may eas­ily be seen by the passing motorist on the state road. On one side of the highway is a deep border of iris, of which there are hundreds of varieties all through the gar­dens. The season is very late, which made the visit of the club most opportune because of the widespread interest in iris.

The gardens with their wide, grassy aisles and rose-clad rustic cedar arches, have been the scenes of weddings in the Robertson am- ily in the past. They are ideally suited to large garden parties or club inspection with their numer­ous walks and benches. Both the rambling, quaint farmhouse and the gardens are so extensive that more than one large party may visit there at one time without conflict. Last night Charles Mc­Manus, well known Hartford artist and a number of members of a Hartford art club, to which the Junior Robertson belongs, were be­ing entertained by the family.

Seasonal Succession Flowers and shrubs are every­

where, surrounding the house and outbuildings as well as in the gar­dens proper. It is the aim of the family to have a succession of blooming flowers all through the season and just at present the spacious beds are a riot of color. Neither are wild flowers banished from the proximity of their more cultured neighbors, for in several places clumps of the lovely blue Siberian iris hobnobbed with the common white_ field daisies, and nearby might be a deep crimson peony in full bloom. Foxgloves, delphiniums, oriental poppies and other stately flowers appear here and there all through the beds. One exquisite oriental poppy plant with a blossom of salmon pink attracted much attention. The varieties of low and tall growifig plants are in­finite.

Between the paths and the flower beds hundreds of small pine trees have been planted. These are not only good to look at in winter, but enhance the beauty of the flowers in the blooming season.

Old Time HomeMrs. Robertson provided a re­

freshing fruit punch and wafers for the guests, many of whom lingered in the gardens until 9 o'clock. Some accepted the invitation of Mr. Robertson, senior, to step Inside the house. Those who did were charmed with the great, low-ceiled living room with its olri-time furniture, some of it more than 150 years old. There is hardly a modern note in the furnishings of the whole house, except for the Installation of such conveniences as modern plumbing, electric lights and modern heating methods.

The club members are looking forward to another delightful ex­cursion next Monday evening, be­ginning at seven o ’clock when they will meet in the gardens of the Misses Chapman on Forest street and tour the Cheney gardens in the vicinity including that of Miss Mary Cheney of Hartford Road.

Invited to Storrs.The president, Miss Mary Chap­

man, called the Garden club to­gether for a few minutes while she read a letter from the Stats Agri­cultural College at Storrs in regard to Farmers’ week. Professor R.H. Patch, who has lectured here on floriculture on several occasions, be­lieved that many members might be interested in the program for Thursday of that week, which falls on July.28. The speakers are to be Thomas H. Desmond, landscape architect of Simsbury, whose sub­ject will be “ New Shrubs and Plants for Home Gardens,” and E.I. Farrington, secretary of the Mas­sachusetts HorticiTtural society will speak on planting the farm home grounds, with illustrations.

Fall Flower Show.No date was set for the fail

flower show of the local club but as the Connecticut Horticultural society has deflnltely announced tihe dates of September 15 and 16 for its big fall show, it Is probable that the Manchester Garden club’s exhibit will be arranged for an early date la September.

M.WCHESTER POETOver a period of a number of

years the Herald had the privilege of now and then printing verses from the pen of Jeanet te Ela Tal- cott. We wondered why Mrs. Tal- cott did not seek publication of a more permanent character for her poems, for they seemed to us to be deserving of wider knowing than Is attainable through the columns of a local newspaper, or of any aewspaper for tha t matter.

Now Mrs. Talcott has had pub­lished a collection of her verses, twenty-seven compositions, in a neat little book called ‘‘Water Souls,” from the press of Vail- Ballou at Binghampton and Issued by Thomas Seltzer. Inc., New York. A few of the poems are familiar through previous printing in these columns but for the most part, so far as we know, are making their first appearance in type.

Perhaps the Herald, with whose Jiistory the life of this poet’s father was interlaced, is not in a position to obtain a clear perspective on the writings of a daughter of El- wood Starr Ela, but it does seem to us, nevertheless, tha t there is more of sheer originality, more nub of genuinely poetic idea and a freer facility of versification in Mrs. Talcott ’s little volume than in the great bulk of the poetry which has won place and recognition in the poetry magazines and on the verse press of this country in recent years.

It is refreshing to encounter, at least, the work of a th inker of poems ■s\'ho recognizes no obligation, in expressing her thoughts, ei ther to smoke-screen her meanings bo- h ind banks of incomprehensibility, or to pander to style conventions, or yet to scream out her independ­ence in free verse tha t is all free­dom and no verse. Mrs. Talcott rhymes, and rhymes TX’ell— and rhymes as she jolly well pleases wi thout regard to the dictates of stuffy pat ter^ makers. And she is as untrammeled in subject matter as in manner of expression.

We take it tha t Mrs. Talcott is no t unwilling to have her readers guess t h a t she sympathizes a bit •w'ith the Tent Maker, tha t if she met Rudyard Kipling she 'would as soon as not give him a piece of he r mind and that in order to be re­ligious it Isn’t necessary to be a human pickle.

At least this is what we gather from ‘‘Water Souls,” and its com­panion pieces.

W^hat if Mrs. Talcott ’s residence happens to be in the town of Ver­non? T h a t ’s no reason why Man­chester should not claim her as a poet of its very own. The Herald will, anyhow.

everything is set and ready they can go before the world offering at beautifully high prices a practically unlimited amount of the most love­ly woods in the world— all nicely monopolized and covered into the possession of their snug little cor­porations.

The very silence about Philip­pines hard'woods is significant. No­body ever breathes a word on the subject. Yet there are 7 50 varieties of commercial woods in the islands, some of them scarcely known to other par ts of the world, scores of them surpassing beauty and of the highest imaginable value for in­terior trim, furniture and cabinet making. The natives have dona scarcely anything with them be­cause of the difficulty of logging them out. But it is inconceivable tha t this wealth of t imberland wU! go much longer unworked. It is a good guess tha t it has not escaped the argus eyes of mercantile prospectors. Why it is, it is to be wondered, tha t our government re­ports never say anything about it?

liability of the newspaper we re­serve the r ight to put more than a sprinkling of salt on that tale be­fore we swallow it.

Perhaps some Waterbury individ­ual who is at once a banker, a law­yer and a storekeeper did take an ad in a program, but i t ’s a good bet that he didn’t know it was a red program. And as for there being ten thousand Communists in Connecti­cut— or one thousand— tut, tut!

SHORT MEMORYSince the American tour of Rt.

Rev. Arthur Foley Winnington In ­gram, Bishop of Loudon, iucKidec. Connecticut and a viS;t— above all places— to Hart ford, it is ra ther surprising to learn that he told the British House of Lords yesterday that it is a mistake to assume that proliibicon is a failure in' America. Perhaps t! e good bishop’s memory for recent events and experiences is not as long as his personality is pleasing. Or, again, he may have accepted the very general belief

CITY SYMPHONY ORCHESTRAS ARE BECOMING

MORE POPULAR

By DON E. MOWRY Secretary, the American Commu­

nity Advertising Association

Before the war you could count on the l ingers of one hand the American cities which were the homes of symphony orchestras. Ev­en in those days these orchestras had huge deficits, and had to be maintained by mammoth donations from public-spirited pat rons of music.

Now all this is changed. A citywith a symphony orchest ra is a city

DISTRICT JANGLESThe apparent inability of t ’le

voters of the Fifth School district to come to any understanding among themselves, looking to a s traightening out of the tangle into which the affairs of the district have been mired for several years, provides one more commentary on the system of district administ ra­tion of school matters. Refusal of the district to lay a tax merely demonst rates again the futility of trying to go on indefinitely under tha t system.

The district home-rule idea inschool affairs was a sound one so long as the districts were composed of electors with a real sense of re ­sponsibility. But in a period where a very consideiahle nLimhor of the voters pay so little attention topublic tuslness that .hey developthe notion that, somehow or other, public business will take care ofitself, and that their official meet­ings are merely sporting events or garni s, in wiiich the only intere.c’ is to get t h j bet tc’- of .'cmebc..'y the neighborhood control of schiol affairs stands in 'he way of puhiic it ' terest.

If he ha.l gone in i ) the army and received correspondhir prsm'-ecE he would now be Colonel Sellers. And how could anybody wiUi ih;it title and name get liimself taken seriously by. anybody?

citizensen joy the best in all the arts. New industries may bring new families to growing cities, but only sym­

phony orches tras and similar things can keep those families con­tented.

Madison, Wis., is one of the more recent cities to ‘‘put over” a symphony project.

Heretofore Madison has raised big guarantees to finance visits from the symphony orchest ras of other cities. Finally Madison said, “ W h a t ’s the use? Why not have a symphony of our own?”

A woman headed the organiza­tion backing the movement. With the assistance of a loyal group and many civic bodies, the financing was all worked out. A famous musical director from the neigh­boring Wisconsin school of music was engaged to conduct. He has developed from local talent a band of over 100.

And Madison Is now getting mus­ic such as it never got before.

BYRD’S DELAYSince the Lindbergh and Cham­

berlin flights so many speach. ■; have been made and so many edi­torials written congratulating the world on the “ conquest” of t'.ie oceanic air that a great 'many vnla- tile persons have really come to half way believe that there is “nothing to i t ” any more but to hop and fly across— just like ilia,. An effect of this is tha t plenty of individuals who have never been higher in the air than the top of a step ladder have been half sneerin.g at Commander Byrd and his com­panions because they did not s tart on their flight to Europe in the face of known storms.

Washington.— Where Pres ident Coolidge goes to church probably is his own business, but the char­acter of the spiritual guidance he receives should be of interest to his people.

The Coolidges of a Sunday go to hear the Rev. Dr. Jason Noble Pierce. When the Lindberghs had to sit through Sunday service with the Coolidges, it was noticeable that the Rev. Dr. Pierce ran heav­ily to plauditudes ra ther than to aity stroiiig, forceful ideas of his own.

The theme of the Pierce sermon was that a person's character is always revealed by his speech. The sermon was sprinkled with such start ling epigrams as “ What is so wonderful as a little chi ld?” and “No word is quite so sweet in all our vocabulary as da-da or ma-n ia . ”

It is perhaps to the clergyman’s credit, however, tha t he indulged in no sticky sent imental ity over the dist inguished guests.

par ticular Sabbath on the assump­tion that “ Getting Gertie’s Gar ter” was the sermon subject is not definitely known. The title was all over the place.

At any rate, the lobby was full of l ithographs ballyhooing Gertie’s Garter. A colored photo of Marie Prevost, in a sheer shimmy, with Marie’s legs and much else ex­posed, was displayed prominently to these distinguished worshipers as they entered and left, al though two huge l ithographs showing oven more, on the outside, had been tactfully covered with Am-eri- can flags.

The services of the Fi rs t Con­gregational church, of which Pierce is the shepherd, have been held in the Metropolitan movie theater .since the church building was con­demned as unsafe.

It is most distressing that the theater owners cabnot be pre­vailed upon regularly to cover up their advertising posters on the facade of the theater or in the lobby. When the Lindbergh.s went to ciiurch with the Coolidges, for instance, the theater had just opened for a week of Marie Pre-

On the site of Mary Robers’ | still some suggestion of Lindbergh

Many people came to see Lind­bergh, who apparent ly had never been in church before, but they knew how to act in a theater— and they acted that way. I t ’s an informal place, this temporary church of Dr. Pierce’s, with smok­ing rooms and spacious, comfor t­able lounge well patronized on this occasion.

As the services proceeded, the balcony crowd— or much of it— moved down to the rail to see Lindbergh below, much as a prize­fight crowd sometimes stampedes for the front seats. Cops were busy trying to make these “ wor­shipers” keep moving. Some went out and some re turned to their tuim-up chairs.

As the Rev. Dr. Pierce firew to the end of his sermon, scores left for the door as does a movie audi­ence at the first clinch in a fade- out. Many of them joined the crowd outside, perhaps knowing that cops were on the mezzanine to hold them from the lobby until Lindberghs and Coolidges had passed out.

PH IL IP PIN E^ WOODSGovernor General Leonard Wood

has arrived in this country from the Philippines, report ing the islands to be in the midst of an era of high prosperity and the people happier, probably, than those of any other par t of the world. Of course, Gen­eral Wood did not include among

•4Jje happy ones those nervous souls who keep insisting that the Wood regime has not been good for the natives, even if it has been for American business people engaged in making fortunes there; but vre have the r ight to believe that the governor-general is at least as well entitled to belief as the politicians among the Filipinos who are devot­ing themselves to the idea of imme­diate independence.

According to General Wood there has been a tremendous development in the sugar and rubber business in the archipelago and both of these industries are scarcely in their stride as yet. The natives are -well paid for their labor and a good time -ie being had by all.

With all of which there -ft'ill be few to find a quarrel. But some­times we -wonder why It Is that^ neither General Wood nor anybody Slse ever lets out a peep about the Philippines t imber industry—whether a thing is being done to promote it, whether nobody knows there is such a thing as a t imber Indust ry possible— or wheth- sr a canny little group of outsiders |b auietly fixing i t ud bo tha t when

STRATEGYIf it is President Coolidge's pur­

pose to win the support of the Northwest for his presumptive can­didacy next year, he has executed one of the finest political strokes on record in lett ing it be announced that he proposes to give no advice to the farmers, while on his Black Hills vacation, but on the contrary plans to listen to their spokesmen in the at t i tude of a s tudent of their troubles, anxious to learn from them ra ther than to inst ruct them.

This is the most disarming of all possible positions for the Pres i­dent to take in the face of the re­puted impression, in tha t section, th a t “ Coolidge doesn’t care about the farmers .” I t is a fundamental a t t r ibute of human nature tha t the way to gain a m an’s full respect and enthusiastic liking is to ask his advice and receive it with an air of deference and of being impressed.

If Pres ident Coolidge will only see enough farmer delegations while he is in South Dakota and give each of them the respectful if non-committal hearing which he so well knows how to give, he can and will come back to Washington next fall with the wheat belt and half the corn belt at least in his pocket.

Furnishings for Your Summer Cottage and Your Home

Summer cottages are no longer being furnished with attic cast-offs. And why should they be? A place where we go to rest certainly shouldn’t be furnished with pieces that we have found to be too uncom­fortable to enjoy at home! Today there are so many attractive, comfortable and substantially constructed pieces that can be had for so little that no Summer home should be less attractive than the winter home! Here are furnishings priced so low that you will want them for your own cottage—yet attractive enough to live with the whole year ’round at home!

One of the nefv pieces we are showing, specially for cottage owners is a 3-piece cottage bed, consisting of bed and spring.It is 3 feet wide with 40 inch headboard and 32 inch footboard, made of metal tub­ing with solid panel and cane insert. Fin­ished in brown, $12.15.

Slat back porch arm chairs with double cane seats, natural finish, $4.95.

42 inch round drop-leaf table, with turned legs, unfinished, $7.65.

18x32 inch hanging book shelf with 3 shelves, unfinished, $1.89.

This is chapter 63 of the series ol.^ articles written by an ex-doughboy who is revisiting France as a cor­respondent for The Herald.

CH.\PTEU LXIII

“ Sur la route a Montpelier 11 y Rvait un canlonnier Qui cassait des tas d’cailloux— ”

IVhich, in a more or less liberal doughboy French translation means that on the road to Montpelier there is a cantonnier who makes big rocks into little ones. This in­formation is essential in leading up to the introduction of Ernest Chel- lon.

Ernest is a cantonnier— a road- worker— along the route from Toul to Pont-a-Mousson. His par­ticular beat is the stretch of high­way that runs along in front of the old Toul aerodronie whe-e Princeton's famous Hobey Baker crashed on the day the armistice was signed— and past the crum­bling buildings of the ancient French caserne that was used by the Americans as an evacuation hospital.

cut native and long a leading figure i of the stage as actor and play­wright. turned novelist at the climax of his long career it was an interesting incident. Interest was also heightened by the fact that having piayed “ Sherlock Holmes” so many years, and thus humanized for theater goers, Conan Doyle’s great detective, Mr. Gilefte should have elected to make his first novel a mystery story.

And “ The Astounding <Crime on Torrington Road” is a good one. Jt is no weak' imitation of Conan Doyle or anyone else, but a highly original story told in a crisp and in­terest-holding manner. Connecticut readers will have a chance to read the story as a serial, for it is to be published in The Hartford Times, which has secured state rights from Harper and Brothers, publishers, and Mr. Gilette. Publication • -will begin next Monday. June 27, with an installment each day in The Times.

Mr. Gilette wrote the .“ Astound­ing Crime on Torrington Road” in the peaceful solitude of his tower­ing stone castle home on “ Seventh Sister” on the hills bordering the Connecticut river at Hadlyme. There, perhaps, he is now at work recording the further clever enter­prises of Rugo Pentecost. Except for an occasional visit of a few- short hours to his boyhood friends in Hartford, or a hasty run down to New York— for theatrical interests constantly seek his advice or assis­tance— he enjoys the quiet’ lifp there which only a man w-ho has accomplished can enjoy.

Kosopoczynskis Win School Spelling Prize

Ancient Bozrah the Scene of Most Modern Methods in Testing School Children’s Efficiency in Spelling and

these(lone

(Si>ecl&l to The Herald)Hebron, June 22.— A novel ex­

periment In prize awards has just been tried out In the schools of Bozrah. This town, lar<je in area if not in population, compris­es several villages, Bozrah, Bozrah- vllle, Leffingwell. This territory was added last September to the already wide field covered by Su­pervisor Charles M. Larcomb who now has under his c harge the schools of Columbia, Hebron, Sprague, Scotland, Franklin and Bozrah.

The schools of Bozrah arc fortu­nate in ha ing the interest of the well known Palmer family, owners of the Fit^hvllle mills. For a num­ber of years Mrs. Frank Palmer who lives in FltchvUle has offer­ed two prizes of $7.50 each to be awarded to those schools sho^xing the best results in the subjects of musie and art. AVhlle the prizes were not large the honor meant much and each school has worked herd to gain that prestS^e which goes with winning.

Dropped in Otlier.sTeachers have stressed

subjects. Supervisors have the same and when the present su­pervisor came into his field of la­bor last fall he found an amazing proficiency in these lines. But be­ing of a practical nature the new supervisor found by the application of tests that as high as the pupils had bounded in the knowledge of the fine arts correspondingly low- had they dropped in the more homely but not less necessary sub­jects of spellin.g and penmanship. Mrs. Palmer was consulted and graciously consented to allow the Palmer prize to be temporarily di­verted to the improvement of the lacking subjects.

The novelty of the plan used lies in the fact that the prizes were given the year not for the schools showing the highest standing In these subjects but for those show­ing the greyest Improvement in a •Rl ven time. It mlight seem diffi­cult to guage exactly such im­provements but this is made possi­ble by use of the Ayres spelling test and penmanship scale at the beginning and close of the months of the contest. Mr. Larcomb says that this idea of giving- school prizes for Improvement scientifi­cally measured has never been us­ed so far as he knows anywhere in the public schools, of America _ex- fcept that sucK^ cai0t)algn:‘‘ '''^a8 re-’ cehtly conducted by a western newspaper, the results of which •wege reported lu, its pages and that ts where he got hold of his idea.

The TestsIt was the goad fortune of the

writer of this, article to witness the taking of the tests at the close of the contest. The first stop was at the Bozrahville school and the Ayres tests with their almost fear­some scientific precision were set in motion.

Bozrahville has had its ups and downs. At one time a thriving cot­ton and woolen manufacturing cen­ter, employing about four hundred workers a hundred or more years ago, it met with reverses until the burning of the principal mill end­ed in the collapse of the entire in­dustry and the village was entire­ly deserted for years, the houses standing empty and passing into decay.

Now, however, there is a prom­ise of better times for the village since Nathan Gilman of New York has taken over the enterprise and using part of the mill left stand­ing. and employs a few operatlv*e in the manufacture of cotton bat­ting. Mr. and Mrs. Gilman live in the village and their charity and kindness to their employees cannot be too highly spoken of. All the force of workers as well as the owners are Jewish and on one day in the week Jewish reTglous ser­vices are held in the schoolhouse. The village ha.s no church. Only a few of the houses are occupied, many standing blacl. with age and slowly crumbling away. A beauti­ful stream with waterfall supplies the power for the mill.

The SchoolThere are fourteen pupils in a

school formerly large and import­ant. The teacher. Miss Mildred Murphy of New London says that there is not a bad child in the school. That is good to hear, though it seems as if there always ought to be one to keep things lively. Woodrow Wilson’s picture on a school calendar was hanging on one wall.

The next stop was at the John­son school where ^liss Ethel Abel instructed thirteen or fourteen lively youngsters, who were called in from recess to be tested.

At this school “ Silent Cal” and “ Teddy” Roosevelt looked down from the school walls. All but three of the pupils here were of foreign parentage, mostly Polish. Such ngmes as Kosopoezynski abounded on the register. This school is located near Bashan Hill, the name arousing somewhat disturb­ing memories of a Blbical nature. It is located on what was formerly known as the Norwlch-Colchester turnpike. Near here is the old William Bailey place, once the scene of great activity in the truck­ing line in the days of the Hay­ward Rubber Mill company in Col­chester, from which place the rub­ber-goods were transported to Nor­wich by horse or mule power.

In bis trucking enterprise Mr. Bailey found that It would be cheaper for him to buy up the en­tire rights of the turnpike rather than to continue to pay toll so in 1867 he bought up the road thus controlling the situation. His place

with its stately mansion is said to have resembled a southern planta­tion in those days. He kept 80 horses or ntules, had his own saw mill, grist mill, blacksmltji shop and store to supply the needs of his large force of employees. The in­dustry ended with the removal of the rubber mill from Colchester and the road went back to the pub­lic.

■Modern .tlethodsOn went the Ayres tests. It seems

as though a child who could spell his own ntimc, (such a name a.s Kosopoezynski) would hardly need further te.stlng and would not need to be frightened at any ordinary word but Mr. Larcomb pronounced gently such words as “ was” “ house” “ year” “ as” “ send” etc., up through the grades until harder ones like “ disease” “ nonsense” “ be­cause” “ debt” were given. The words of .\yres list, some 1500 ot them in all, comprise those most commonly used and necessary in the ordinary walks of life. Experiments on a wide scale have shown what proportion of these words the av­erage normal child ought to be able to spell. Gone are the hectic -days when a line of children stood on the floor, toeing a chalk mark and spelled "Immateriality’” and “ in­compatibility.” “ I-m, im, m-a. ma. t-e, te, immate— but why' rake up the sad past?

The Ayres writing scale tests for both speed and accurac.v. The writ­ing test Is partly prociuced from memory so in all the schools, the pupils were called upon to recite a stanza or so from some favorite poem or prose but to refresh the memory. This was written on the board by the teacher and at the word “ Go,” the children began to write as fast and as well as they could, till the supervisor called “ stop,” when each child counted the number of letters in the words written, thus accurately placing his speed rate. The looks or accuracy of the perumanship is shown by comparison with samples of hand­writing given in tne .\yres Scale varying from the disgraceful to the beautiful flowing mechanical hand of the expert penman. It was too bad but to the humble visitor the worst of these looked the best as seeming more like a real palpitat­ing little human being.

Poetry, TooSome of the poems recited for

the test were old-favorites. “ How Do You Like to Go Up In a Swing,” “ Arrow and Song,” “ Oh, Captain, My Captain,” “ I Remember, I Re­member.” It does some queer thing to the heart as the children, appar­ently unfeeling, roll off these words. Later they will remember and feel, too.

“ Oh, Wind a-Blowlng,” was an­other favorite. Over and over the sturdy graders declaimed how'“ All around I heard you pass Like ladies’ skirts across the

^grfiss.”Now what could that mean to a

child? The humble visitor, feeling a worried sense of responsibility tried mentally to brin« the poem up to date, with suen results as this:“ I heard the flopping of your

breeze.Like ladies' skirts about their

knees.”But one has a vague feeling that

perhaps The Herald's “ Funny’ Man” has already said this or some­thing better.

It is no joke to give these tests all through the grades in school- house after school house for five or six hours, but the more tired and more frazzled the supervisor grew the more mild and restrained w as his voice. How does the average supervisor manage? Does he have to go off by himself and explode af­ter all is over? Of course if he did it in the school room he would get fired.

Organ Instead of BellNext came the Rudd School. This

is a firie modern school with two dozen or more pupils. Mrs. Wini­fred H. Crepeau, die teacher sum­moned her flock, who were out for the noon hour, by playing a few spirited strains on a Reed organ. It was like a miracle to see them come streaming in in response to those strains. They came in an ord­erly way yet not with a set me­chanical discipline. There is a bell but Mrs. Crepeau says she never needs to ring it. On w’ent the inex­orable tests. The humble visitor found relaxation in leaning out of a window and looking on the hill­sides rich w’lth daisies, clover and ferns. There were beautiful maples and oaks and Pease Brook sang a pretty song. Nice rocks, too. Rocks in the sunshine Rave such a weath­ered sophisticated, gray and blue look. But even stones and rocks have to learn to be stones for who has never seen new yellow bewild­ered looking stones fresh torn from the bowels of the earth, not yet wonted to their new place in the open?

How blue were the eyes of the children, some of them, a glinting blue, like the skies or shining wa­ter. Everywhere the same story, only about one-third or less of the pupils of the old American stock.

At the Center Bozrah School there were 26 or 30 pupils, nearly all Polish or Russian. The brook here is called Grandy’s Brook, the teacher. Miss C. M. Field said. Here the 5th grade wtts absent, having broken his leg. In this school •was the longest stovepipe ever seen. All these schools burn wood ar/d have jacketed stoves.

In FitchTiUeNext came the beautiful stone

school building at Fitchvllle with its two rooms and two teachers, Mrs. Mary E. Sweeney and Mrs. Grace Latimer. Here was the most modern equipment, with library, piano, furnace heat, and electricity. This school has had much help from the Palmer family who were instru­mental in its transformation from a one-room school to its present fine state of efficiency. George Palmer of New London who is proprietor of the mills of Pitchville has giveu

largely for this cause. Mr. Palmer, is well known for his philanthro­pies in the causes of education and humanity.

Near this spot occurred a strange chain of crimes or misfortunes with­in the last fifteen years. It was on tluB Frank Lathrop farm where about fifteen years ago a young girl was found dead by her mother on the return of the latter from some work at a n«-lghbor’s. The mystery of the girl’s deat.i was never solved but it •was thought that she had been run over by some vehicle and left dead. Two or three years ago an aged farmer was found dead, ap­parently murdered, at the same farm. This death, too, was never explained. Last fall a high school boy was accidentally killed while getting over the wall c:i the same farm.

No r.lme for mor? tests that day but a hurried visit was to theLeffingwell school, tauglit by Mtse Alice Bishop. This was a change from th(j others in tii.) fact that the pupils were nearly all native Ameri­cans. Miss Bishop has been in this school so long that she now has as her pupils some of the children ot her earlier pupils. This scjiool is marvelously equipped with books, electricity and other modern con­veniences seldom seen in a village school. Much ot the teacher’s work is done by the project method at which she is unusually successful.

Ready For GraduationAnother half day must be spent

at the testing work and midnight oil burned by the supervisor in the finishing up of his ambitious plan, to have everything ready for the graduation evening when the re­sults would be announced.

It goes without saying that the Pitchville hall was packed when graduation day evening came around at length. Twenty-three promising looking graduates march­ed, essayed, declaimed and chorus­ed in the most approved style. Peo­ple lacking seats •'X’ere standing up all around the hall and if they were weary all waited till the exciting end when Supe 'visor Larcomb stood before them and announced that the prizes were re..dy for distribution. He also said that the results ot the experiment had been more than gratifying and that spelling,, and penmanship had taken a jump in an unprecedented manner. Indeed so close had been the competition that decimal points had to be calculated closely in order to decidi ■ between some of the schools which had riln almost neck and neck. It was the Johnson school (where the Koso­poezynski children go) that captur­ed the first spelling prize. The sec­ond spelling prize was taken by the Leffingwell school. The t'wo pen­manship prizes went to the Fitch­vllle grammar and the Leffingwell schools.

Mr. Larcomb said In closing that the intensive work done by all the schools in the showing made by the tests taken was that of four years work done in six months proving that the Bozrah pupils are capable of almost anything when they real­ly put their minds on it.

Good AVork ShownLittle Helen Main, a sixth grader

from the Fitchvllle grammar school, last of all, was called up and receiv­ed a prize of $5.00 in recognition of her success in having carried off the town and district honors in the spring spelling contest ot the schools of the state. She was sent to Hartford to represent her dis­trict in the state contest, held last month.

One thing was noticeable in th'j graduation exercises. The chorus singing of the graduating class was of unusual excellence showing that the Palmer prizes and the conse­quent attention shown to music lu the schools have done a fine work. Each school of the town has some kind of musical instrument, even to the smallest and most Isolated ones. If there is not a piano, then there is a good little organ on which either pupils or teacher can play well. This means a great deal in the schools and it is probably true that Bozrah leads most ot the rural towns of the state in this respect.

Philadelphia.— A rapid revival of Great Britain’s export trade is regarded as a certainty by W. J. Beatty, foreign sales manager for the J. G. Brill company, builders of railway and street railway equipment. |

England is coming throuigh the j firct half of 1927 in better shape . than at any previous period since ' the war, Mr. Beatty told the Phlla- i delphla Export Club on his return 1 from a foreign tour. British ex- I port trade is rapidly returning, he said. The outcome of the British coal strike of 1926 is thought to have subdued radical labor for the next few years. The dole system, whlck Mr. Beatty said was regard­ed by British Industrial interests as a necessary evil, is being efficient­ly administered by the government.

While New York has usurped, to some extent. London’s former pre­eminent position as the world’s money center. London still remains the principal center for the hand- lln,g of smaller foreign flotations, and still retains the ability to han­dle large financing of other coun­tries, exclusive of the United States, Mr. Beatty said.

NOW BEGIN T H E STORYCHAPTER XXII

rivHE anger faded from Ellise’s face. “ 'What will we do?” she

asked quietly.‘■Nothing," Vilak answered. "For

the present, absolutely nothing. We are fearfully outnumbered, and if I raise a hand they’ll simply an­nihilate the lot of us. There’s noth­ing to do but wait for an opening.I don’t know what their plans are yet. When I learn there’ll be a ipossibility of doing something. Meanwhile, do everything they tell you to do. In a case like this save your energies for the moment when they’re most useful.”

In a moment the mustached ofiB- cer returned. Closing his men about the three Americans so that they would be targets from all points of the compass if they re­sisted, he demanded their pistols. The old man and the girl looked at Vilak questioningly. He handed over his weapon without an in­stant's hesitation. The officer gave the signal for the troopers to ad­vance. The cavalcade galloped away.

In a short while they- left the ror.'l to Villapa and took a de­serted lane leading toward the mountains, white in the west. They rode past a thick forest where some beautiful but poisonous ap­pearing fungi, much resembling orchids in color, made brilliant the tops of the dark trees.

They reached a rockier more open section, once a farm, but which had been abandoned for some years, judging by the dilapidated condition of the small cottage which stood a hundred feet from the road. All its windows were broken, the wooden root partly raved in. and where it was still in­tact, covered with vines; the two wooden steps leading up to it were rotten and crumbling.

Into this gloomy habitation, soaked with the constatft rains, the officer led his captives. Vilak’s quick eye caught a noose of leather carelessly slung over the remains of a wooden bed. The bed was old, the noose was new. Vilak hoped that the others did not see. The officer ordered a chair and table brought to the window and. mak­ing a pretense of piling some pa­pers about him and looking as ju­dicial as possible, sat down.

"The military court of inquiry Into the death of Colonel Miguel Bonjardos of Bonjardos Fazenda

i will begin,” he grumbled, beating with his warty hand upon the ta-

V

"7ou will defcyid these three criviinals charged with the murder of Colonel Bonjardos." "Yes, capitaz."

ble. “Jesu, bring forward the pris­oners.” The oily-visaged corporal lined them up before him. The cap­tain eyed them sardonically. "We will not waste time with formali­ties. like the lawcourts which are long and the lawcourts which are stupid. The court of the soldiers of Colonel Bonjardos will be brief, and their aim . . . good. Are youguilty or not guilty?”

Vilak brushed off a greenish- white termite ant which was | crawling up his puttee. "Innocent, of course.” (

"Write down ‘Innocent,’ Jesu. If i you are innocent, you will want an > attorney. Which one of my men do i you choose?’.’ He pointed down the row of grinning, ugly faces of the ! men leaning against the wall. |

Vilak shrugged his shoulders. ! "Very well. You will take none? I

Then I must choose for yon. No j man shall say that the soldiers of , Colonel Bonjardos do not obey the law. He looked gravely at the . sallow-skinned Jesu who was acting j as clerk, then at a lazy, bleary- ■ eyed giant slouching in a corner. "Pedros!” he called.

The giant stumbled forward. "Yes, capitaz.”

"You will defend these three criminals charged with the murder of Colonel Bonjardos.”

"Y'es, capitaz.”"Jesu, you will be the prosecutor;

I shall be the judge.”“Y’ es, capitaz.”"Begin, Jesu.”The corporal rose awkwardly to

his feet. “ I. Jesu Barbos, sou of Miguel Barbos, native of Crato, in the great republic of Brazii, hereby accuse these three prisoners of hav­

ing killed our beloved Colonel Bon jardos, who . . . ’’ he faltered . . "who was ever ready to give his life for his men, and . . . who . . . gave them bread, though he went hungry. I. Jesu Barbos, son of Miguel Barbos. native of Crato in the great republic of Brazil, hereby accuse these three criminals, be­cause . . . ” He stumbled, and be­gan again. “ I, . . . Jesu Bar­bos . . . ”

"Son of a wandering dog, native of Crato in the great republic of Brazil,” shouted out a fat-faced warrior in the shadows.

The men howled with laughter. "Silence!” roared the captain. He turned on the luckless Jesu. "Fool! Ox of the held! Toad of the slime!”

Pnriously he tipped over the ta­ble at which he had been sitting, scattering the papers he had care­fully placed on the table onto the backs of a troop of the termite ants scurrying over the floor. “ Enough

; of this folly,” he said, clamly. "These two men and this woman

! are not children. They know that I we do not hold a court, that what j we do is but make a silly play.1 Tie them up, stupid Jesu. Perhaps i your hands can do what your head cannot. Tie them well or you will pay for it dearly. Leave the two pigs of men bore, and take the woman there . . . ”

He pointed to a smaller room to­ward the rear of the wretched dwelling. "I will keep her there, while I ponder what 1 shall do. Bind them. Quickly. Hand and foot. Of the woman, bind only the hands, so that she may not strike me.”

The men proceeded to execute

his orders. The three captives made not the slightest attempt at resistance, the two men quietly al­lowing themselves to be stretched upon the muddy floor and be trussed with ropes of hide until be­yond a slight movement of the head and wrists they were helpless, as though in a plaster cast.

Ellse walked slowly Into the other room. Testing the ropes to make certain they were secure, Jesu grinned and Btabbed Vilak brutally in the side with his heavy boot. "Goodby, my pigs," he grunt­ed. “ In an hour we shall come back and tell you how you shall die.”

He closed the door behind him. The two men were left alone, but the voices of men buzzing outside the two doors of the room told them they were well guarded. For five minutes they lay in silence, Vilak, motionless as a statue except when he rolled over to crush with the weight of his body a termite ant crawling on his hand or leg. The Chinese cast of his eyes again ac­centuated. Finally the old man In the corner, some ten feet away from his friend, could bear the silence no longer. "Vilak,” he called quietly.

“Yes, Nanny, what is it?” Vllak’s voice was calm as though he had been sitting in hIs study.

"Er . . . I want to talk . . . to you.”

"Roll over to me. Quietly now. It’s all right. These ruffians don’t understand English."

The chemist obeyed and rolled to the other’s side. His face, hair and clothes became covered with mud as he twisted over the water- soaked ground. His thick glasses were obscured by a black film so that they were worse than useless. “■What are they going . . . er . . . going to do to us, Vilak?” he whispered. "Kill us?”

"Yes, if they can.”“What will they . . . er . . •

do with Elise? . . . Ellse? Kill her, too?”

“ I don’t think so. More likely carry her off somewhere.”

"W’hat will we do? . . . Yes . . . what?”

"Keep very cool, and try to pre­vent them, that’s all. They’re di­vided now and off their guard. Rub your head against that wall, and knock off your glasses. Your eyes must feel wretched that way."

The old fellow followed the other’s suggestion. In a moment his wispy leg was twisting beneath its bonds. He spoke again, half In irritation, half in resignation. "Vilak.”

"Yes, Nanny." His Intonation was placid, soothing. “These . . . er . . . termite ants are walking over all parts • . . er . . . parts . . . of my body. They’re troubling me . . . fearfully . . . yes . . . er '. . . fearfully.”

“Roll over on your side and crush them beneath you. That’s what I’ve been doing ever since we’ve been here.”

The old man obeyed. His wispy body rolled violently from side to side a moment. When he stopped, relief was evident in his counte­nance. “Little beasts. Annoying . . . er . . . annoying. Terrible place they've put us In . . - really . . . terrible. Pools of water so that you can’t He in a dry spot. Certainly get pneumonia . . .quite certainly . . . er . . . Vllak . . . and these termites . . . er . . . termites . . . positively dev­ilish.” His wispy body squirmed again.”

What signs of genius are your children sliowiug In youth?

Tills is (ho second of four articles telling what science knows about the childhood manifestations of un­usual talent or ability.

By. DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor Journal of the .American Medical .Association and of Hygela,

the Health Magazine

The psychologists of Stanford University, who recently published the results of their study of the lives of 300 eminent men and wom­en, in an attempt to determine what degree of mental ability character­izes the genius in childhood, devel­oped some practical If not startling conclusions. They soon found that they must know also the hereditary background of the person who achieved distinction and also what contribution to his success had been made by his surroundings In early life.

They found that youths who achieve eminence have In general a quality of parents above the av­erage and many superior advan­tages In their early surroundings. The son of an eminent lord high treasurer, of an ambitious army general, of a president of the Unit­ed States, of a British admiral or of an eminent scholar may be expect­ed to rise to a position above the average.

Not all the sonp of the eminentachieve success, however. ,\ favor­able heredity is an asset. ,'ct the special combination of inhcriti'd traits that makes genius l.s import­ant. so that an eminent man may be the son of a tinker as was Bunvan. author of “ Pilgrim’s Progress;’ ’ of a mason, as was Carlyle, author of “ The French Revolution;" of a strapmaker, as was the philosopher Kant; of a day laborer as was Cap­tain James Cook, celebrated Brit­ish navigator; or of a peasant, as was Cornells Jansen, famous Dutch thelogian.

Young geniuses seemed to have npccial opportunity for superior education and for elevatln.c and in­spiring social contacts. Pitt, the yotinger, John Quincy .Adams and the Humboldt brothers had training for leadership. Mozart, Michael-an- gelo and 'Weber had much special­ized Instruction. On the other hand, the opportunity In youth of .Abra­ham Lincoln, Faraday and Blucher was not much as to make for suc­cess. While individual chances for eminence are usually dependent upon a favorable hereditary back ground and are increased by favor­able opportunities, eminence is not dependent on either or both.

TENACITY OF PURPOSE

TOMORROW:. Youthful. Genl-

AVhen children are old enough to show symptoms of “ makiag things’ ’ there is a valuable lesson to learn.

I have recommended “ construc­tive plays” for even the very young­est children. By constructive plays 1 mean the little activities that have a meaning, such as building block houses, making little objects out of clay, sorting colors, and dressing dolls. .Any play that causes thought, selection, or discovery.

Begin to ChooseAs children grow older they be­

gin to choose their own constructive recreation. Boys want to build bird houses and ships. Girls want to col­or pictures or do fancy work of some kind, or make doll clothes.

They may even go farther than that, such as starting a garden, painting the porch, baking a little cake, or makli^g a real dress.

Children are excellent starters but usually poor finishers. Tliey get tired of something when it is half finished, then off to something else. We allow them to do it. Some­times because we see what a mess they are making of things. Some­times because we think. "Oh, well, it's only play anyway. If they want to put in their time at something else, what is the difference?”

Make Them FinishIf 1‘our boY h u Btarted a bird

house, or a boat, my dear Mr. or Mrs. Parent, you’d be doing him the greatest wrong in the world if you didn’t Insist upon his finishing it. And it your little girl Is making a doll dress, make her finish, it, no matter if It does look more like a coffee sack than a doll dress when it is ready for Her Ladyship.

The world Is full of fine begln- mers and It Is almost as full of poor finishers. The others— the remain­der left after the subtraction— are the ones who are doing the big things, the real things In the world. Dilletantes never got anywhere, and never will.

By insisting on your children finlsblng the things they had initi­ative enough to begin of their own volition, you are leaving them a greater legacy than gilt-edged bonds. Ask any writer if his great­est asset is, not talent, but stick-to- It-lve-ness. Ask any woman who has made a success of life as a cre­ative worker or business woman. And ask all good mothers what they consider their greatest asset.

In one great thorns they will re­ply, “ The ability to stick to a thing until it is finished.”

A famous general called It, “ The ability to plan the end, not the be­ginning, of a campaign.”

I went abroad with no I trunk, one suitcase, one evening! dress (which I never had on), and I would no more think of exchang­ing my sort of good time for yours than asking to be struck blind. Perhaps I didn’t learn the menus of the Crillon and Maxim’s by heart; perhaps I didn’t sit around the blaze tables at Biarritz and Deauville all night long and get my picture in the paper by leading a pet kangaroo on the string.

HARTFORD VS. WATERBDRY;C B. A. A VS. CONN. MUTUAL

<>•

That's the Baseball Program For Manchester Fans To­morrow Afternoon and Evening.

There ■will be two baseball games in M anchester tom orrow afternoon . At 3 o ’c lock in the a fternoon , Hart* ford and W a terb u ry will engage in an Eastern L eague encounter at the M cK ee street Stadium and at 6 o ’ clock, Cheney B rothers and the Connecticut Mutual team o f Hart­ford will m ingle at the W est Side p laygrounds. ^

Both times that H art ford has at­tem pted to play here before , rain has interfered. H ow ever, if the w eather man will be good, officials o f the H a rt fo rd Club are confident that the gam e will draw m ore fans in M anchester on a Thursday after­noon than In H artford at Trinity Pield where some 300 saw the game la :t Thursday. Stores are closed in M anchester on that afternoon and this stiould greatly increase the at­tendance. Nevertheless, it is not ex­pected there will be even half the 2.150 prsons that watched H artford and Providence play part o f a double-header three weeks ago. Too m any fans w ork in the mills and will be unable to get away for the occasion.

In the lineup o f the Connecticut M utual which opposes Cheney Bros, will be two Manchester players, Kw'ash and V on Deck. The form er is a ex-H igh school player while the latter was a m em ber o f the C om ­pany G team which nearly copped the cham pionship o f the 169th In­fantry at Niantic a couple o f su m ­mers ago. Kwash may pitch but Chafe and Nichols will also be on hand fo r that ■w’ ork. Von Deck will catch. The rest o f the H artford line­up will be : Eberle, lb , Bores, 2b, Kensen, ss, Schiebler, 3b, Barton, If, Banks, c f and Osterling, rf.

Cheney Brothers will present a changed lineup. Three mem bers o f the 1927 S. M. H. S. team have been signed and at least one will be in the lineup Thursday. Nino B oggln i will catch. Ty H olland and W ilfred W ile y have been signed and it is possible that Jim m y F oley and Ab L upien may be given a tryout. The mill nine has not been go ing any too good this season and a few changes in personnel would be w el­com ed.

CHICKEN HAS FOUR LEGS

Oramge, Texas.— Maggie Knox, negress, entered her chicken house the other day, stared open-mouth­ed at a tiny creature that scuttled about the floor. It was a four-leg­ged baby chick, healthy, even stronger than the others of the new brood. Maggie smacked her lips at the prospect o f four drum- •sticks to each fowl, longed for a li-av In neroetuate the species.

New York, Juno 22.— Seeking strict privacy in order that the dollar might be discussed with all due dignity and restraint. Jack Dempsey and George Rickard will tip-toe into a gentlemen’s agree­ment shortly after eleven o ’clock this morning concerning the de­tails of John’s immediate future. That was not the purport of the official commumcado issued from the garden this morning but the writer has ample reason to believe that it is the true one.

I happen to k icw that Rickard was Inforn if'O ytsterday that he might e.xpect Drni;.sey between ten and eleven o ’clomc. They are likely tn leach an agreement within a comparative few .minutes, for Rick­ard is understood to stand ready to guarantee Dom.isey the sum of $’i’ 50.000 for two lights with Shar­key and Tnnucy.

1 he ConditionsThat is, he will guarantee John

that much. cr).iungerii on the under- stancing tnat Ir.o latter Is among those presen' for two fights. As it is, he may only fignt one and see the ether.

Anyhow, the guarantee will bu made because it isn’t Difficult to oi* fer even cr tic;l menty for some­thing that may not happen. Demp­sey’s end for the Sharkey match, July 21, wi'i be at least $250,000. For Tunney, it will be $500,000 or no hunared thousand whatsoever, depenuin.g upon John’s great desir­ability or ncre after July 21.

Signing ContractFormal signing of the contract

will follow, either later in the aft­ernoon or some time tomorrow. By that time, the need of secrecy ■will be no more; In fact, secrecy will be most undesirable and so mega­phones will be passed about among the guests in order that all unde­sirable conditions may be thwarted.

Dernp.sey never has seen the man he must beat on July 21 for the privilege of getting another whirl with Tunney. Sharkey paid to see the first Dempsey-Tunney meeting and seems to feel that lie owes both of th.-mi a grudge. It will be inter­esting to hear what he has to say when he meets tne ex-champion face to face for the first time, for the lad will say something. He has had plenty of chance not to, but no one has heard him do it.

Ting** Bodie, After 18 Seasons, Gets Big Thrill From Baseball

San Francisco, Calif., June 22.— After 18 seasons in various leagues, colorful “ Ping” Bodie still gets a kick out of playing baseball.

The veteran, now with the Seals here, is the peppiest man on the team. He’s also having a big season in hitting and fielding.

Bodie loves baseball. He loves it just as much now as he did when he broke in in 1909 with the Seals. The thrill he gets out of playing

today is probably a bigger one than most youngsters receive.

That’s why Bodie stands a chance of being termed the most popular player in the league again this year.'a distinction that has been his thrice already.

Hustling old "Ping” Bodie is a veteran in service but just a "kid,” having a heck of a good time out here playing baseball as often as he can.

Here*s A Bit O f Advice For Manchester Golfers

CARDINALS MOVE UP BY DEFEATING CUBSBy LE.S COXKLIN

I. N. S. CBrrespondent

Golf if you like, but leave your wife at home!

That partner of your joys and sorrows must not be the sharer of your golf game— If you value your normal blood pressure, your effici­ent heart action, your healthy nerves.

Better your dearest enemy should snicker at the balls you top and slice than that your wife should stand by when you dub a shot.

This warning comes not from a woman-hating "pro” but from no less authoritative a scientist than Dr. Eugene Lyman Fisk, medical director of the Life Extension In­stitute of New Yorlc.

"A wife is the worst mental haz­ard of the game,” says Dr. Fisk. “ Her presence multiplies the strain of playing, encourages outbursts of temper and prevents that mild and mellow mood which is golf’s most

New York, June 22.— Although the world’s champion St. Louis Cardinals have taken second place away from the Chicago Cubs by virtue of a double victory over the Bruins, their chances of winning the National League pennant are lessened today by the loss of the services of Tommy Thevenow, star shortstop. Thevenow fractured his ankle in sliding and it is feared he will be kept out of the game for the remainder of the season. i

Jess Haines chalked up his elev­enth victory by winning the first game, six to five, a ding-dong con­test which went thirteen innings. The score was tied four times be­fore Bell’s single finally ended the agony. The nightcap was just a breeze for Flint Rhem, the Cardin­als winning twelve to three.

Pittsburgh’s dream of easy pick­ings against the Reds was rudely shattered when the Reds nosed them out in the tenth, seven to six, on Critz’s single.

Why the Boston Braves were willing to trade Zach Taylor was made evident when Jim Hogan, Taylors’ youthful successor, made four hits, including two homers, enabling the Braves to beat the Giants In the tenth, seven to five.

Dazzy Vance fanned nine men as Brooklyn plastered the Phillies 7 to 3.

A runaway race similar to last year’s was forecast In the Ameri­can League as the Yankees, with Pennock and Hoyt on the mound, two-timed the Red Sox, seven to three and seven to one.

Walter Johnson failed again as the Senators lost to the Athletics, eight to two, after winning the first game five to four.

beneficent result for the man of middle age.

"Even the best of -R'ives are bad on the golf course. Those that ern’t play have to be taught. And any man who ever taught his wife ro drive a car or play bridge or blow smoke rings knows what nerve- racking pupils they are.

"The ones that can play are still more develish. They stand around and criticize, either aloud, or worse still— in silence.”

It is therefore, positively dan­gerous to health to golf with your better half.

There are many other dangers *n the game, especially for the man past 50, says Dr. Fisk. "Golf is called an old mrn’s game, because it is relatively mild. But no old man— or middle-aged man— should indulge in It without first having a thorough physical test.

"If the test shows heart, kidney or blood vessel to be in subnormal condition, the game must be modi­fied to suit the abilities of the play­ers.

“ No golfer should play at all If the game results In dizziness, pain around the heart, palpitation or marked shortness of breath.

"All golfers should have annual physical tests.

"Golfers with cardio-vascular weaknesses should observe the fol­lowing rules:

"1 — Play no more then 18 holes

' /

"9— Do not play with experts or much younger persons, lest you be tempted to compete with them.

“ 10— Do not play with anybody Irritable or nervous.”

That a nagging wife, a bad shot, a fierce eagerness to win really have a lasting physical effect upon the player. Dr. Fisk can prove by quoting the results of an actual test made by Dr. Clarence W. Lieb of New York, by measuring the blood pressure of a golfer as he ■went around the links.BLOOD PRESSURE READINGS

1. Pitcher starts to deliver ball to the batsman and it drops at his feet, there being a runner on first at the time. What Is the ruling?

2. Umpire calls balk but pitcher persists in delivering ball to bats­man who hits a home run. The bases are filled at the time. How many runs score''

3. Pitcher gets on the rubber without having the ball in his pos- sessloa First baseman has hid the ball. Runner on first takes lead, only to be touched with the ball. What about it?

4. Pitcher snaps ball to first without stepping in the direction of that base?

5. What is the limit a pitcher may hold the ball after getting on the rubber?

THIS TELLS IT1. It Is a balk, the runner on

fii'.st simply advancing to second.2. Calling the balk suspends

lilay. Runner who hit a home run must bat over. Only one run scores, the man who ■was on third. Other runners advance one base.

3. It is a balk for pitcher to get on rubber without having the ball. Runner on first advances to second.

4. Pitcher must step In the di­rection of the base to ■»vhlch he in­tends to throw in an effort to catch a runner. It is a balk when he falls to do so.

5. Twenty seconds Is the limit. Umpire may then penalize him by calling a ball.

Last Two Fights to Tie Philadelphia Team; Walk­er Wins.

ONE-LEGGED BOXERON THE NEXT CARD

On next Tuesday evening a team of gix Boston boxers will come to the Hartford Velo­drome Among them will be Pe;;- gy Johnson, a welterweight with a wo )den leg. Despite his handi­cap, this chap is said to be un­defeated and a real good attrac­tion.

Victories by Ray Hogan and Pinky Kauffman in the final two bouts of a car pi twelve enabled the All-Connecticut boxing team to earn a 3-3 tie with Philadelphia at the Hartford Velodrome last night. With the team from Pennsylvania leading 3 to 1 at the end of the fourth inter-state bout, it began to look like another clean sweep for them but this did not materialize. One of the best bouts of the eve­ning was the go between Vic Mor- ley of Hartford and Jimmy Ray of Philadelphia. Morley was the win­ner by a wide margin but Ray showed himself a bear for absorb­ing punishment. Throughout the second round Ray was practically out on his feet. Outside of a bad gash over the eye, Morley was none the worse for the setto.

The results of the other Inter­city bouts were as follows: Tom Mc- Conaghey, Philadelphia won from Vin La Bella, Middletown, In four rounds, but deserved It in three; Jimmy Walker, Philadelphia, knocked out Ray Taylor, Terry- vllle In second round; Emery Schaeffer, Philadelphia, took the decision over Ray Hall, Hartford, In four rounds: Ray Hogan, Terry- ville, was given the decision over Tommy Gleason, Philadelphia and Pinky Kauffman easily won from Tommy Donahue, Philadelphia in a slow bout.

The inter-city bouts:Joe Cliento. Hartford, knocked

out Eddie Ryan, Terryvllle, In sec­ond; Salvey Fruzzeti, Hartford, won a grudge fight that was more of a comedy from John Balisano', Hartford; Eddie Watts, colored, Terryvllle, knocked out Leo Ducharme, Springfield in the first round; Barney Youseman, Hart­ford, won in four rounds from Gene Martin, Terryvllle; Joe Bard, Hart­ford knocked out Charley Ross, Terryvllle in the first round and Mickey Roberts, Hartford, was given the decision over Steve Pa- lanzi, Hartford.

COMMUNITY CLUBPU Y S WESTFIELD

The Community Club will jour­ney to Westfield, Mass., Sunday, to play the team that represents that town.

Tonight a practice session will be held at Hickey’s Grove at 6 o’clock.

Manchester Trade lost a golden opportunity to square accounts with New Britain Trade in a base­ball game at Mt. Nebo grounds yes­terday afternoon and as a conse­quence now has a season record of six victories and four defeats with but one more game to be played and the chances none too good of that being turned Into a victory. Yesterday’s score was 6 to 4.

With his pitchinig ace, Jimmy Adams, on the sick ist. Coach John Echmalian handed the nomination to Sammy Thurz. Adam’s under­study went along in splendia shape until the nlith inning when he blew up after being started on the wrong road through very poor sup­port. Manchester went into the fi­nal inning sitting on top of a 4 to 1 lead and looked the part of an easy winner. The visitors, how­ever, took advantage of two bad errors by “ Happy Jack” Connelly at short and another by Lewis in the outfield about which to stage a battle,3 rally that netted five hits and five runs. During the prev­ious eight innings, Thurz had al­lowed but four hits.

Doubles by Travers and Kopln- sky and singles by Manchuck and Thurz were responsible for the three runs which Manchester bat­ted across home plate in the sev­enth inning.' A single by Travers and a triple by Thurz accounted for the other tally. So,^lt may be seen that Thurz turned in a nifty performance even if he did weaken after his support did likewise. Thirteen New Britain batsmen were retired, victims of Thurz’s outcurve and not a single one drew a free pass to first.

Manchester Trade closes Its sea­son Friday afternoon when It goes tj Springfield for a return game with Springfield Vocational which gave Manchester its first defeat In two seasons in a twelve-inning game here several weeks ago. Inci­dentally that was the only defeat chalked up against Adams this sea­son. He may be in condition to work against the Home City Tribe in the season’s final. Yesterday’s box score:

The Lowest Rates

For Herald Want Adsare given on orders for SIX DAYS and that is the right order to give to secure the most satisfactory results.

Advertising Is cumulative In it’s effect and an ad that Is published for SIX consecutive days has greater result producing power than one published for one, two, or three days and then repeated after a lapse o f two or three days. This is a fixed and proved rule in adver­tising and you can depend upon it.

REMEMBERthat when you get results before the six tlmae are up you can stop your ad by mail or telephone if you ■wish, and you will be charged ONLY for the actual number of times the ad appeared in the paper, charging at the rate earned.

This is a service arrangement for the benefit of ouradvertisers.

SENSE OF SMELL

New York— Not only does Sando Rodrequez have excel­lent wine; he has an excellent sense of scents. Sando was din­ing out one day and a fello" Spaniard sat at his table, engag­ed him in conversation. Finally the stranger, one Martinez, pro­duced a flask, filled a glass wfth wine and offered it to his new­found friend. Rodrequez sniffed. He sniffed again. He placed his glass on the table, excused him­self, left. He called a policeman, and asked that Martinez be ar­rested, insisting that he recog­nized his own wine. The th ee went to Rodrequez’ home, where they found his sniffing had not been in vain- .Martinez had taken, not only the wine, but money and jewelry.

(READ THE STORY, THEN COLOR THE PICTURE)

W’hen Scouty saw the Tinymites, ft was the finest of all sights that he had seen for quite a time. It thrilled him through and through. “ Hello, there, bunch,” he shouted loud. “ I ’ll soon be back there in your crowd. I have a lot of thril­ling tales I ’m going to tell you.”

Then Clowny shouted from the shore, “ We’re glad to see you back once more. It surely has seemed lonesome, and we’ve missed you quite a lot. But, say, before you come to land, let’s see you do some antics grand. It ought to be real easy on that dandy seal you’ve got.”

"A ll right.” yelled Scouty, “ I will try. Just watch me as I ’m pas­sing by.” And then he whispered to the seal, “ Come on, let’s do some tricks.” Away they went across the stream, which made the band of Tinies scream. At first they thought that Scouty and the seal were in a fix.

But, as they watched, the fear Aicd out. for Mister Seal swam all

about, and Scouty stayed on his back. He’d learned to ride by now.. “ Oh, gee,” cried Carpy, “ that’s real fun, to glide around be­neath the sun. I ’d like to take a ride myself, if Scojity’d show me how.”

But, at this moment, in the sky, the Tinies saw some birds sail by. They circled ’round the Island ’bout a dozen times or more. Said ^Clowny, “ Why, they’re coming down. Their wings are white, their bills are brown. If they are really friendly birds, I hope they land on shore.”

But soon they swooped right out of sight, except just one that turn­ed his flight right out .to where wee Scouty was, a seal-back riding still. This monstrous bird made one quick dive, and Coppy shout­ed, “ Sakes a live!” It startled him to see the bird grab Scouty in its bill.

ICEcosts a mere trifle

FOODis expensive.

Ex p e r i e n c e d housewives know that variable temperature is bad for perishable food; that

when the thermometer rises, milk rapidly gets stale and bacteria multiply a thousand-fold.

Even if the food docs not spoil, it loses its crisp, fresh flavor and much o f its nutritive value.

In this changeable weather ice is a necessity and a cheap one
