Coolidge Rejects Proposal byWheeler, Saying the Fleet Is

Not for Police Duty.

APPROVES PRESENT DRIVE

Respect for Law Seen ae a Result—

Enforcement Appropriations Not to

Be Exceeded—Coast Guard Counts

on Hlah-Powered Searchlights.

Washington. —President Coolldgemade It plain that he does not believeIn the use of the navy to enforce theprohibition law. White he Is inter-ested In seeing the Volstead act up-held, he thinks that the navy 'existsfor defense and not for police duty. a

The President's attitude was ' ex-plained In connection with a dis-closure at the White House thatWayne B. Wheeler, general counselfor the Anti-Saloon League, has pro-posed that the mimic warfare of thebattleships in the Pacific shall beturned Into an actual naval engage-ment with the rum fleet, in line withthe Administration's program to wipeout smuggling.

President Coolidge does not intendto be rushed off his feet by the pro-hibitionist demand, He Is very wellsatlsed with the results now being ac-complished by the three' agencieslighting the Illegal traffic along thetorders and along both coasts. _ •

The Coast Guard, supplied this yearwith new boats costing more than$8,000,000. Is well prepared to meetany engagement with the rum fleetand will carry on until there is somsresemblance of law along the twelve-mile limit Those opposing the war-tare are saying that the Governmentwill expend 4100,000,000 In the workof the Coast Guard. This Is deniedat the White House, where It was saidthat the coast fleet would be operatedwithin the appropriation. .

There is i.o man in Washington who.l« observing the rum war more care-fully than President Coolidge. Hefeels that the liquor operators hav*flouted the law BO flagrantly as toweaken all laws, and thus create alack of reBpect for la wand order. Hesaid that he would do everything hecould to see the laws enforced,'andIt Is believed that the attack onsmuggling will be followed by a thor-ough campaign against bootleggingand the manufacture of Illegal liquorwithin the country. v ,

Secretary Mellon, .who was attackedby Governor Plnchot of Pennsylvaniaseveral months ago In connection

\ with .prohibition enforcement, Vlwrepresented by President Coolidge asbeing very solicitous to crush smuggl-ing and enforce the dry law. Mr.Mellon told the President of the suc-cesses of the three agencies workingunder the Treasury Department andexpressed the belief that the situationwould be greatly improved' and pro-hibition enforced reasonably within atew months.

Telegraphic reports from the fight-ing forces reported all quiet along theCanadian, and Mex*»an borders, with

.,the rum fleet dispersed on the Atlan-tic Coast, and only a few vessels, pre-sumably rum schooners; lying off theGulf ports.

The Government •' forces have notyet conquered smuggling along the

. Pacific Coast. Private reports fromLos Angeles said great quantities of

' liquor are still coming through; SanPedro Harbor, the ocean gateway toLos Angeles Thfc harbor shortlywill be well policed. At present therum fleet is represented as strongerthan the Government forces.

"Washington. —With the Atlanticblockade developing effectively, thegovernment la on the eve of launching

MISS LYRA TAYLOR

a Joint land and sea drive againstliquor on a scale which it hopes willmark a new era In . prohibition en-forcement.

President Coolidge himself Is - backof the movement for enforcement Hehas given orders that the law be car-ried out, and he Is in touch in a gen-eral way with the activities of theprohibition officials. In a talk withthe President, J. Harvey Borton anJDr. Jesse H. Brown, of Philadelphia,representing the Friends' TemperanceAssociation, commended the efforts ofthe government to bring about rigidenforcement They told the Presidentthat their association, in a'recent as-sembly, had pledged sympathy amisupport to the Administration's, pro-hibition drive and expressed confi-dence In Its .outcome....

The new land and sea drive wasmade known when CommissionerHaynes disclosed plans for a consoli-dation of the efforts of the dry forceson shore and along the coast

"The plan Is Just going Into effectbecause we have had to wait for theCoast Guard to assemble a fleet,"-saidCommissioner Jones. "That tooktime, but we are now ready to hithard on all sides."

Under the scheme for mobilisationof land forces along the Atlantic sea-board, Director Merrick Is being givenapproximately 300. agents for use inNew York and New Jersey. A largeproportion of them have already re-ported to him, said CommissionerJones. The underlying Idea behindthe Joint strategy la to cat oft over-seas supplies of liquor with theblockade and then concentrate landactivities on the big supply .base*near the coast from which bootleg-gers in most Eastern cities, includingWashington, get their goods.

Rear Admiral BlUard, commandantof the Coast Guard, announced thathe has ordered a temporary but vir-tually complete censorship on theactivities of the dry navy. Reportsthat several small cargoes of liquorhad succeeded In slipping through hiscordon were denied, however. , Norhave any Important captures beenmade. It was stated. Headquartershas full reports on the big Frenchsteamer which has just Joined thealcoholic anchorage, but would makeno comment

Assertions by Coast Guard officersthat the campaign has not yet reallybegun are being borne out by the In-creasing preparations tor a long siege.All the most modern accessories. In-cluding a radio-telephone system ofcommunication between units of thegovernment fleet, are being Installed,and It Is now understood that anaerial reeonnoltering base Is being es-tablished at Gloucester, Mass. Thisdoes not mean that the rum fleet isexpected to transfer its activities Uthe New England coast, it was stated,but Is "merely an Indication of the''thorough manner in which the CoastGuard Is organizing for an Indefinitecampaign at any point

As its part of the general schemethe AnttSalobn League is working tomake-the present onslaughts the fore-runner, to international war .on rumsmuggling. "Wayne B. Wheeler andother dry leaders In the capital arecounting upon valuable assistancefrom all twelve of the countries whichsigned the "hour's sailing" treaties.Already, it i s said, prohibitionists inthese countries are appealing to theirhome authorities to take steps towardpreventing establishment of bases forshipment of contraband liquor toAmerican waters.

BRITISH PEERS PANAMERICAN FILMS

House of Lords Hears Plea toBan U. S. Movies—Actors Earn

Too Much, Plaint, „

London.—The House of Lords spentan hour debating American films.Lord ,Newton, former secretory ofstate tor foreign affairs, wanted, thegovernment to appoint a committee toInquire into the causes tor the depres-sion in the British film Industry, butViscount Peel, for the government,said that no action would be effective.

Nothing short of the prohibition ofthe importation of American filmsWould help British producers, saidViscount Peel, and added that such astep could not be contemplated.

Lord Newton made the Interestingstatement that a thousand millionBritishers patronise the movies yearly,the theatre takings amounting to1160,000,000.

"Some of the American film actorsearn more money In a fortnight thanthe whole British Cabinet does In ayear," said Lord Newton. Referringto the recent visit of Tom Mix toLondon, Lord Newton said:

"I deplore the fact that the LordMayor of London recently^ paid* anAmerican film star the same officialhonors be would accord a victoriousgeneral or an illustrious discoverer.In France they merely told the actorne would not be allowed to obstructtraffic with his horse.

"The influence of American films oneastern countries Is so'great thatEnglish clothing .manufacturers havein some instances been forced to altertheir'styles so as to meet the demandof eastern peoples who want to bedressed like the persona they see Inthe American films." '

"Connecticut is pitiably undemanned from the traffic policestandpoint." says the May bulletinof the state motor vehicle depart-ment issued under, the name ofCommissioner Robbins B. Stoeckel.Traffic is controlled by 636 "njen Inthirty-seven-cities and towns havinga combined population 6f 1,078,104,or 78 percent of the whole popula-tin of the state. It Is stated, but only276 police officers are assigned tofull-time traffic duty In these munic-ipalities, 133 are part-time officers,220 supernumeraries and six schooljanitors' assigned and 'authorized asspecial officers.

Twenty state policemen havebeen assigned exclusively, in thepast two years to examining oper-ators who applyfor licenses, accord-ing to the bulletin, large percent-age of the department is used torhighway patrol work, and in viewof the Increase of ten men made inthe state police department at thepresent session of the Legislature,It is expected that "a few more mencan be spared for. the special patrolwork." . *

"There is no way of telling howmany lives and limbs are savedthrough the activities of the policeIn the course of a year," says thebulletin, "but if an honour wereawarded to each officer who savesa life by his direction . of traffic,there is not one who would not becovered with medals."

More careful and systematic hand-ling of traffic Is urged, and policeforces are cited as the only compe-tent agencies to accomplish it."There must be, more poicle," de-clares the bulletin. "Each trafficforce, wherever situated, must bemore adequately supported by pub-lic sentiment; Its appropriations

. must be larger." Attention is cal-' led to the steady increase in the

number of motor vehicles on thehighways and the correspondinghazards and a plea Is made to taketime by the forlock, jind' be organ-ized for the future. '

The present direction of traffic,so far as it goes, Is commended,

state," says the bulletin.;."This ap-"piles not only. to"- the direction_. bythe pollop but to tho UM« of auto-matic signal-, ami to the generalwhich the various problems havebeen met Much stress Is laid uponthe importance of the traffic officerin the safety scheme and In con-siderable part of tho bulletin Is de-roted to a discussion of his powers

Let me try now to tell the storyof "Aunt Libbie" Felcher.

Everyone lor miles around, callsher that; but she to really Mrs.Darius Felcher of Vermont. Herhusband's farm has been in thefamily for generations. The .oldhouse was built by his great-grand-father 137 years ago.

It is unique in that section, hav-ing been plastered, Instead of clap-boarded, on the outside. Great•patches of the plaster have fallenoff; but these ravages of time aremostly hidden by a curtain of vines.When 1 was there, they hung anarray of trailing scarlet bannersfrom the low eaves, " ' r

Aunt Libbie calls the place theOld Plastered House; and she hasmade it almost as widely known asherself, writes Mary B. Mullett inThe American Magazine. Thismeans more than you may think;for Aunt Llbble is a figure of someimportance; even beyond the moun-tains that seem to "shut her awayfrom the world; •

A Newspaper Correspondent.T*he story started about.30 years

ago, when her son, an only child,left the little valley and went awayto work. After his going, the oldhouse was a lonely place for hismother. She has always had a tre-mendous interest in people, in, lit-erally, "the course of humanevents." ' Folks mean more to herthan anything else in the world.

Yet there she was, shut up inan Isolated farmhouse. Somewhatcrippled by "a bad leg," she couldnot go about much. There were noautomobiles then. There arent anynow—for the Felchers! They have-n't money enough even for a flivver.

She became a newspaper corres-pondent!

Her life threatened to turn into adrab and monotonous existence.Nothing of interest ).o give out. Shemight have let herself stagnatethere in that quiet backwater of life.I can just Imagine her, standing ather kitchen window, her intenselyblue eyes looking out through thelittle barred panes.that seemed tocage her in. And I can see hersuddenly sitting down one day—andgrinding out her first grist of newsfor the weekly paper of Hyde Park,the nearest village.

Now and then a farmer's wagon,lumbering on its way to or from thevillage stopped in front of her house.If it didn't atop of its own accord,she limped out, waving a friendlyhand, and made it stop.

Perhaps, in ihe conversation thatfollowed she gathered only a singlegrain of news. Day by day shepicked up other grains; someonein the neighborhood had died; acouple of sweethearts were goingto be married; a baby had come tosome house up " the valley; some:body's barn had burned; somebody'schildren had the scarlet fever.Grains of gossip that were a little-handful of life! And out of thesegrains Aunt Libbie made her gristof news.

Widely QuotedShe has been doing this for thirty

years; and In that; time she.has be-come the most widely known' country newspaper correspondent In th-jstate of Vermont. Her column ofitems appears regularly In each ofthe seven weekly papers printedin the little towns of that countyHyde Park, Morrisvllle, Stowe,Johnson, Cambridge, Hardwick andWolcott. She is quoted In city pa-pers all over the state and evenfar away as Boston.

Sometimes, to be sure, a smarcity editor does this with his tonguein his cheek, laughing slyly at the iitem he copies. But more often heis like the wise editor of the. Rut-land Herald, who often quotes AuntLlbble with a' genuine appreciationof her ability as a shrewd and kind-ly observer of life.

Aunt Libbie seems singularly lack-ing in the vanity which makespeople save printed notices aboutthemselves. But In one of, her oldnot books I did find a clipping fromthis same Rutland Herald. It con-tained one of her own items, fol-lowed by the editor's comment. Letme explain, before you read it, that"Gramma" is Aunt Libbie herself.

"George Cook and wife were atLed Bliss's, so they came down fromthe hill and got Jim and Grammafor Saturday. No better place togo; a fine visit. Rain did notbother, and in the evening we camedown to the moving pictures, whichwere fine, and then home, and aday long to be remembered closed."

The editor added: "Samuel Pepysat his best never did a neater pieceof work than that"

I doubt if Aunt Libbie knows whoSamuel Pepys .was. Perhaps thatuncertainty'was what made her pre-serve the clipping, j;_She, probablyIntended to - make_ Inquiries : abouthim "somr tlrar but I imagine "shenever got around to it.

That old notebook of hers was inmy pocket when I climbed the hilback of the house; and, sitting thereamong the tawn> ferns, I read thepenciled entries—only a few linesIn each one, yet holding In those

dom. Let me give some here, oc-casionally omitting the names, forobvious reasons. Often, in one sim-ple sentence, you get a glimpse ofa great human experience.

"Abble McGookin received wordher son John wms killed by fallingdown an elevator welL Corpse ex-pected tonight."

"Johnnie McGookin was burled to-day. Cold enough to freeze. Aged27."

"Otto FOBS and Amy Flanderswere made one. Good, luck."

•• passed away, at hospital inBurlington. A good neighbor- gonehome." ,

I read dozens of these notes, butnot once did I find a single word ofunklndnesB or harshness. The near-est apparent approach' to anythingeven remotely suggesting criticismwasjn this: " died yesterday.Judge not lest ye' be judged."

Neighborhood NewsHere, taken at random from her

columns, are some of the grainsfrom her grist of neighborhoodnews. ' • •

Sun Spots GiveLine on Weather

Predictions Can Be MadeDays Ahead, Says SavantWashington.—A new wonder of

weather, forecast which carries mod-em science. In a measure, back to themethods cf the astrologlsts of old, wasexplained to the National Academj ofSilence b. Dr. C. G. Abbot, head ofthe Astro-Physical observatory of theSmithsonian Institution, and H. ELCluyton of Canton. Mass.

This latest of science makes It pos-sible. It Is claimed, for men accuratelyto foretell weather' condition* fromthree to twenty-five days in advanceby studying the sun. Experiments car"rled oa for more the 1 a year underthe direction of the Smithsonian Insti-tution have'enabled scientists to. makeaccurate weather forecasts for NewYork city three days In advance andto predict temperature* with approxi-mate oxuctness for periods of from15 to 26 days ahead.

Outstrip Landless Dreams.These achievements far outstrip the

dreams cf the. la.c Prof. Samuel P.Lungley. one of the fathers of the fly-ing machine, who, during his connec-tion with the Smithsonian Institution,urged the study of solur radiation aaIt "might lead to the possibility ef thjprediction of the good seasons and thebud." Fot yeura scientists have beenstudying sun. spots which, It has beenfound, appear In great numbers incycles of 11 years. These spots breakthe surface of the sun and a greatdeal more heat comes out—somethinglike stirring up the coals in a furnacetire. When the spots are toward theearth, we receive the maximum heat.

The principal part of the Smithson-ian achievement consisted of the In-vention of instruments for taking ac-

curate measurements of solar radia-tion.

Two ran observatories were estab-lished, largely through the personalgift of John A. RoebltaK of New Jer-sey, at Montexuma, near Calaraa.Chile, and or. Mount Harqua Hale.Arts. A. both places dally observa-tions are made of sun spots and meas-urements taken of solar radiation.These are telegraphed dally to theSmithsonian Institution.

Study Radiation Curves. .By studying the curves of the solar

radiation, It bias been found that theyapproximate with startling nearnessthe curves of temperature and bar-ometric pressure over certain areas.In other instances, It baa been found,the temperature and pressure curvestravel Inversely to the curves of solarradiation. It haa been possible to di-vide the earth's surface Into distinctzones In which these two opposingphenomena occur. Thus, when the

Dr. C .F..Marvin, chief of the weath-er bureau, announced that while thestudy of solar radiation Is a valuablecontribution to science, the weathe.service has not yet accepted theSmithsonian experiments as conclu-sive, and doubts whether they can beput to practical use In forecastingweather from day to day.

Mystery Regarding CraftThat Have Disappeared.

Washington.—More than 1.000 Amer-ican naval men have gone down to'watery graves In a score of vesselsthat have disappeared In the sevenseas without a trace. From the brigReprisal, lost In September, 1777. tothe tug Conestoga, that disappearedIn the Pacific in 1921. there Is a chap-ter of naval history on which the Navydepartment Is able to throw but littlelight

Outstanding among the unaccounted-for craft In modern days Is the navalcollier Cyclops, concerning which thereIs a mase of fanciful theory, but noofficial fact

During a wide stretch of years, fromthe Civil war period to nearly theWorld way era, naval annals are de-void of entries concerning lost snips.

Many Lost Near West Indies.Three have vanished since the be-

ginning of the present century, how-ever, In spite of the much-vauntedsafety to be found In modern appara-tus of communication. Many of theiost ships were last heard of In the vl-clty of the West Indies.

The department has listed the foi-

Search Proves Fruitless.Naval vessels have searched the'as for tidings of these missing craft

mt their, fate remains a mystery;Naval officers consider the case of

the Cyclops unusually puxzllng, forilie was equipped with radio and ap-parently encountered no storms, hercaptain last reporting all well andfair weather. She was 542 feet long.05 feet beam, and of 19,000 tons.

Theories exist that the Cyclops wasImproperly loaded and split in two;I hut her machinery was disabled andher radio put out of commission andthnt she was scuttled, and that an?nemy. submarine destroyed her, butofficial information regarding her Iswholly lacking.

They are not dis-couraged, however, and the seurcu 1*still going on.

A fund has been subscribed for theerection of n stained-class portrait to

Galveston. Tex.—The recent takingover of the San Antonio and ArkansasPass railroad by the Southern Pacificcalls to mind the fact that -when thetranscontinental line of the latter sys-tem was constructed through Texaslawless conditions existed In the fron-tier region.

Jess Fry, who la well known to theshipping and business Interests ofOalveston, was a sort of advance vanfor the Southern Pacific In those days.He performed the duty of opening allnew stations as the road progressedthrough western Texas.., In this ca-pacity he served as station agent ex-press agent add telegraph operator,and Incidentally he had many unusualexperiences.

On* Experience. ~"One night," said Mr. Fry, "Boon

after the station of Dryden, 895 mileswest of 8sn Antonio, was opened andI had been put in charge of It some-thing occurred that did not Impress memuch at the time as It did later.

"The west-bound passenger traincame In. I had gone up to the expressand baggage can. The train porterand I were getting off a trunk whena young man who evidently had leftthe train came up and assisted mewith the trunk.

"After the train pulled away heasked me to direct him to the hotel,I told htm there-was no- hotel in Dry-den. The station house was the onlyedifice In the place, except a. few Mexi-can Jacals of mud and straw. All the.other habitations were tents. As BOOHas I had /bandied the train and had achance to draw an easy breath theyoung man said: '

-'Is there a box here for me? Myname Is Raymond Pacheco.'' "He said be was expecting a smallbox by express to Dryden from St.Louis. He said he thought It mighthave reached Dryden ahead of him.No box bad come for him.

8tranger Taken In. ."As there was no other place for him

to stay that night and 1 could not turnhim out I Incited him to spend thenight Inside the station with me. Ifound him an agreeable, entertainingand exceedingly well bred young man.'He told me he was the son of a for-mer governor of California and agraduate of Yale. I had no reason todoubt either statement

"My guest wa« highly educated andhe also played the 'mandolin and sangwell. We spent the night pleasantly,neltlior of us going to sleep until late.. "His conilni to the lonely plucebroke a fit of loneliness that had beenincreasing with me as the new sta-tions on the railways got farther awayfrom Snn Antonio. I was glad to learnthat he Intended to remain a aborttime. He said he was likely to stayuntil the box he was looking for came.

Camp Near 8Ution."Next morning lie built a camp not

very far from the station house. Iwould have been glad to let him stayIn the depot, but the company ruleswould not permit my having a perma-nent guest He seemed to be used tocamp life. He waa an all-around bandysort of fellow. He soon had bis campIn good habitable shape.

"He had a good Winchester rifle anda pair of six-shooter* and he purchasedi horse and other necessaries of out-»f-door life In that region. I askedaim what his occupation was and hetold me he was a miner. He likewisetold me he Intended to prospect forpaying, minerals In the mountains inMexico.^ These mountains were Justacross \he Rio Grande and onlya few miles from Dryden. In fact theywere in plain view. Pucheco took sev-eral trips, and In all likelihood wentInto these mountains while he was Inthe neighborhood and waiting for hisbox.

"Pacheco finally received the box. Itwas a small wooden box. not more thana foot long and six Inches high. Itwas, however, bound around the edgeswith broad metal bands und securelynailed.

Letters From Woman."Afterward I got the ldeu that prob-

ably It had been shipped by a woman.

bOCstQM bCflOPE KGHVtBf v t t w

end letters had come to him at Dry-den. As I was postmaster, the lettsmpassed through my hands. They evi-dently were written by a woman; atleast the Bddressss indicated this.Pacbeco always went off by himself toread them. These facts I rememberedlater.

"There was nothing about the boxto Indicate Its contents. Neither wasthere anything hi the waybill accom-panying It to show that It had as valu-able contents as I afterward becamesatisfied It possessed. It would notnave attracted attention among otherboxes, and the only thug that drewmy attention to it was the Iron bandsaround It. I paid much lees'-attentionto It than I did to the handsome trunk.In fact, I took quite a fancy to thistrunk, and It became my property.

"When he got the box he told mehis business was not likely to bringhim .back to Dryden and that his trunkwas too bulky for nun to take withhim. so he gave it to me and I keptIt until.the baggage smashers on theroad finished It up and It had to go tothe Junk pile. '

Old Newspaper Left"When Pacheco left Dryden, he rode

bis horse, taking such articles ss hecould carry handily, bnt leaving a lotof rubbish, among which was a 8 tLouis newspaper that I picked up andput away. Intending at my leisure toread. ,' . •• ,

"Reading matter was rather scarce,and even back-number S t Louis news-papers were Interesting. This one aft-erward proved to be of thrilling Inter-est I did not read i t however, untilafter another stranger had come toDryden. He was a large man. Hedropped off the train a few days .afterPacbeco had gone.

"He lost no tune In stowing me hisbadge. It was that of chief detectiveand special secret service officer ofthe Adams Express and Wells FargoExpress companies. He said bis namewas Russell. He had letters to prov*his Identity and commissions to estab-lish bis authority.

•He asked immediately If the boxaddressed to Raymond Pacheco, sentto Dryden from St. Louis, bad arrived,If so, If It bad been delivered. 1 toldhtm It had. Until then I had not at-tached much Importance to the box.Mr. Russell then asked to see the way-bill and the receipt book. I showedthem to him promptly. He -then pntme through the sweating process, bywhich he learned all I could tell himof my quondam friend, RaymondPacheco. As soon as he was satisfiedthat I had correctly informed him hewent In quest of Pacbeco In Mexico.

S28400 In Box."I asked RusseU to tell me all he

could about Pacheco and the box. Hesaid he did not have time to talk. He,however, remarked that the box bad,when It arrived at Dryden. contained$28,000 In currency and gold that badbeen stolen from an express car andmessenger In the suburbs of S t Louis,about two weeks before.

"Russell, like all detectives, was sus-picious of everything, and put methrough a course of cross-questions. 1

thought he was going to make me con-fess to the robbery at St. Lottls beforehe got through with me. Likewise. Ithought he was going to take the trunkwhich Pacheco had given to me for evi-dence In the case. I have wonderedever since why he did not do so andwhy he did not come back to Drydenand get It after he got back fromMexico. .

"His search In the mountains InMexico for Pacheco must have beenfruitless. These mountains are full ofcaverns In which Pacheco could havehidden himself and his treasure aslong as he Wanted to. 1 am Inclined,however, to the belief that Pacbeco didnot linger long hi the mountains. Mybelief Is that he went to some SouthAmerican or Central American countryImmediately after getting the box. Ifbe remained In Mexico, I think It likelythat he vent to the Pacific coast andInto Lower California.

Story of Robbery."After Kussell left and my-nerves

got steady I hauled out the two-weeks-old St. L'ouls newspaper that Pachecobad left • One of the first articles thatI clanced at was on the first page andunder a scare head In the blackest and

boldest of headUne type. Atthatttms.newspaper Illustration was not so com-mon aa now, and only extraordinaryItems of new* were Illustrated. This)one was, however. There was a biscolumn cut in the center of the page.As soon as I glanced at It I knew IKwas an Illustration of the robbery Bus-sell had alluded to. The headlines atonce proved this. Treed every wordof the article with the deepest Inter*est. If It bad been in a special extraedition of a dally paper, published on*the day and at the very place and timeI then was, I would not have been moreInterested.

"The article began by stating thata: train going out of S t Louis had beenrobbed. The robbery, however, wasconfined to money hi one of the safesof the Adams Express and Wells FargoJoint express safes. The amount stolenhad been $28,000. The greater part ofIt bad been In currency, but a portionof It had been In gold. The draua-stuncea of the robbery were these:

"As the train was about to leavethe St. Louis depot a man, the descrip-tion of whom was an exact descriptionof Pacheco, had entered the expresscar and handed the express messengera letter. ThlB letter wap written onthe official letter paper of the WeilsFargo Express company. It seemed tobe In the handwriting of the local sup-erintendent of the company and thesignature seemed to be genuine. Thetrain messenger did not question It,This letter Instructed him to fully fa-mlllarixe Its bearer with all of theexpress business on the run. It statedthat the bearer was to be placed In theservice of the company aa a messengeron that run.

"The bearer of the letter insisted onbeing taught from start to finish with-out delay. He asked the train messen-ger to commence Instructing him be-fore the train started and keep up theInstruction until the end of the ranwas reached. The train messengercommenced operations by opening oneof the safes containing considerablesums of money. He showed the pack-ages to the bearer of the letter. Hewas In the act of describing the pack-ages, their contents and destinationsat the time the train started. _

"When the train got to a convenientdistance and while the express mes-senger was leaning over the open safesorting the packages, the man whobrought the letter hit him a heavyblow over the head, which stunnedbun. The man then gagged and boundthe messenger securely. He thengathered np into a package all the cur-rency ana a lot of gold money. Benext let himself oat of the door st oneend of the express car. The train stcertain points In the city ran slowlyand he Jumped from It

That the snn's corona, which Is thescientific term for the radiant mantleof material stretching to great dis-tances from the main orb, la In partcomposed of solid or liquid, material,and not entirely of gas.

That the exlsten.ee of an element Inthe sun, provisionally dubbed "coro-nlum," which has never been encoun-tered on the earth's globe, Is fairlywell established.

Coronlum Signs Detected. .'Dr. G. U Klesa, who took u spectra

observation from the airship i a s An-geles,' dttected again hi his photo-graphs the green and red lines whichare oelleved to denote the existence,of "coronlum."

The exclusions as to the solid andliquid nutter In the corona rest largely upon the experiments of Drs. H. T.Staetson and.W. Coblens. aimed at es-tablishing the exact temperature ofthe sun. Doctor Coblenz, using betterInstruments than his predecessor*found the corona temperature to be3,000 degrees above absolute :ero, inspite of the fact that previous observa-tions nave Indicated the temperatureto be about 0.000 degrees. The differ-ence |a. the two temperatures givesground for the Inference that thecorona • Is made up In part of densematter,-. because If It were all in-candescent gas, the temperaturewould be higher.

In measuring the time of the eclipse,or rather the time of duration of ob-scuration, I. G. Priest, another bureauexpert, sought to give astronomer*better data for calculating the move-ment of the n-.oon.

makes the time of the coming t."eclipses uncertain by several seconds,and although this circumstance Isphilosophically accepted by ordinaryhumanity, it Is annoying to scientists.

Greatest Lighthouse/in World Is Started

Paris,—What Is stated to be themost powerful lighthouse In the worldwas Inaugurated on the summit ofMont Afrlque in Burgundy for thepurpose of facilitating night trips onthe Paris-Marseilles air line.' The lighthouse has eight lights, with

a total cf 1,000,000,000 candlepower.If atmospheric conditions are favor-able Its powerful rays will be seei.from Lille. Brussels, Frankfort andMilan.

Despite the heavy expense Incurredfor building the lighthouse, whichcost the government over $100,000, itla expected that four more will be put•Jip during the year In order to enablethe air lines to run day and nightservices throughout the country.

Krupps MakingArtificial Teeth

Scientific Instruments HaveReplaced Gun Products.

Essen, Germany.—Quantity produc-tion three years ago of battleship tur-rets and rapid-fire guns was a featureof the work here of the firm of Fried-rich Krupp, once the symbol through-out the world of armament manufac-ture; today this organisation Is mak-ing artUdal teeth and surgical Instru-ments. .

Swords, or their more hideous mod-ern successors, the "Big Bertha" can-non, have literally been beaten intoplowshares. The Krupps now turn outagricultural machinery, railway en-gines, automobile trucks, merchantships, steel bridges, and a thousandand one smaller things. ,

Artificial teeth and surgical Instru-ments are but two of the many minorarticles manufactured In what wasonce the most formidable armamentplant in the world.

Ueb 8ame Staff. .

A striking feature of the transfor-mation Is the fact that tbe change hascome about without change of technlcal engineers or skilled workers.

In fncti one reason for turning Intosuch activities as watch and clockmaking, moving picture manufactur-ing, and the construction of dellcatomechanisms for optical and micro-scopical Instruments, was the consid-eration that, a large staff of skilledworkers and engineers used to be en-gaged In perfecting the delicatemechanlsLJi of rapid-firing guns andthe like.

These men, after the war, were com-pelled to turn from Inventing and con-structing engines of death to devisingmachinery for the advancement ofcivilization. Thus new types of turbineengines are being evolved, Diesel mo-tors are being Improved upon, betterprocesses of making steel are beingexperimented with.

A word as to the magnitude of theKrupp plr.nt at Essen: The area cov-ered by the various buildings Is al-most 800 acres. The private railwaywhich connects the. various sectionswith each other travels nearly fivemiles from one end of the plant to theother.

The largest of the buildings, thatdevoted to locomotive' construction,covers an area of 800.000 .square feetand has a frontage of 1.640 feet. TheThe four hydraulic presses for com-pressing blocks of steel exert a pres-sure of 4,000 tons each. Some of thesmelters employed for bringing high-grade steel to the melting point, havea capacity up to 90 tons each. ' . .

Only 28,000 No.v Working.Aa h matter of fact, however, only

28,000 workers are row on tbe payroll. The Krupps are going throughthe same readjustments which gnatnumbers of American firms had toface when the war was over. Beforethe war they were doing a thrivingbusiness trith 86.000 men employed.If they caa get back to tbe pre-warfooting, they will probably considerthemselves lucky.

Insect and Dlstase DevelopmentAphis continue to be the most

important insect found In, most ofthe orchards visited during the pastweek by Messrs. Stoddard and Zap-pe of the New Haven ExperimentStation and by the writer. Growerswho used the lime sulphur (1-8)plus nicotine or a miscible oil forthe delayed dormant spray seem tohave obtained control, ' Some whofailed to apply the delayed dormantapplication or •who used the limesulphur without the nicotine have aconsiderable infestation. The syi-phus fly larvae and the lady beetlesare plentiful in many orchards andare assisting greatly in controllingthe aphis.

Black leaf hoppers, red bugs, budmoths, leaf rollers, canker wormBand tent caterpillars have been ob-served although not in large num-bers, except the tent caterpillars insome unsprayed orchards. .

Dr. McCormick of the New HavenExperiment Station reports that thefirst mature scab spores were foundon April 20. The first serious in-fection from scab In Connecticutprobably occurred during the rainof April 30.' In some sections therain began about midnight on thenight of April 29, and continued atIntervals until well. into the nightof April 30. The local showers sincethat time have probably not beensufficient for a second infection.Growers who sprayed their scabsusceptible varieties between April27 and April 29 and again the lastthing before the blossoms openedand who will spray again just assoon as possible after the petalsfall can expect control of scab thisyear. Infection will continue fromthe old leaves (during rain periods)for two or three weeks yet. :

The Calyx 8pray(For Apples and Quinces)

The calyx spray Is probably themost important single applicationof the season. It should bu appliedimmediately after the petals fall—beginninR when about 90 per centof the petals have fallen (and end-ing at least before the calyx cupsof the young fruits have closed.

Materials Needed for 50 Gallons1. Clean water—fill tank about

1-2 full2. 40 per cent Nicotine Sulphate

—1-2 pint3. Calcium Caseinate spreader

(as 'Kayso")—1-2 pound4. Arsenate of Lead (dry)—11-2

pounds5. Lime sSlphur (liquid)—4 to 5

quarts6. Add more water to fill tank.The nicotine sulphate is for aphis,

red bugs, and black leaf hoppers;the arsenate of lead for codlingmoth, tent caterpillars,: curcullo andother leaf chewers; and the limesulphur for scab.

The 'nicotine sulphate, can beomitted if there are .no sucking, in-sects present. Efficient control ofaphis at this stage cannot be ex-pected. Prof. Parrott's results inNew York State last year showed areduction of aphis injured fruit from54 to 44 per cent when .nicotine wasadded In the Calyx application only.This reduction of about 20 per centundoubtedly paid for using the nic-otine, however. Red bugs and blackleaf hoppers can be effectivly con-trolled by nicotine in the Calyxspray if the application is verythorough.

Avoid Spray BurnThe above mixtures will usually

be found safe for apple foliage.Weather conditions or improperlymade spray mixtures (sometimesmade by adding the materials tothe spray tank in the .wrong order)are more frequently the cause ofburning. Apples should not besprayed iwhen both the tempera-tures and humidity are high, asburning of the foliage is almost'sure to be the result.

Where apples are interplantedwith peaches or where, for anyother reason, the grower fears In-jury from the Hme sulphur solution,it is suggested that Dry-Mix SulphurLime (121-2- lbs.) or self- -boiledlime sulphur, (8-8-50) be substitutedfor the liquid lime sulphur in thespray .mixture.

Make the Application LiteralMost trait growers a n not apply-

ing a sufficient quantity of spraymaterials per tree. The experimentStations which have, investigatedthe matter aay that mature appletrees should receive from 5 to 10gallons of spray material accordingto their siie. An apple tree tea to12 years old should probably receivefrom 3 to 4 gallons of spray mater-ial per application while trees 18 to80 years old should receive 7 to 8gallons per application.- Extralarge tree's should receive from 10 to15 gallons. Recent investigationshave shown that the amount ofspray material applied has little todo with the amount of burning some-times obtained.
