There’s a bonus of $25 waiting for all holders of lucky “deuces.” Today may be your turn to cash in.

To the automobilist it was just a $2 hill, but to Lester it had the potentiality s2s’ ere d as a reward by me for the« return of lucky “two spots.’’ Lester kept W th® biand told his boss to deduct it from ■L hi s Pay. Looking over the numbers in The Times, Lester found that the one the motorist gave him called for a $25 bonus. OB’’ 1 X '4B le was num bered D2790016A and ■L was listed in The Times as lucky last W' Friday. It was passed out in change by a L ——i cas hier at the Palais Royal last Thursday. Lester is just one of the many Washingtonians who have cashed in on this campaign of mine to help the Treasury Department to get more $2 bills in circulation. If you have not cashed in yet, give today’s lucky numbers a fast once over and see if Lady Luck has smiled on you. Bee if you have one or all of these numbers: 1197028817 N 80699621 N 97028879 N3973309A 899654412A N 88438183 N 97028882 N 970028863 N 97028834 N 95207858 These ten lucky numbers in- 4 elude four brand new ones today and six that have been previously published. The lew numbers are N 97028817, N 97028879, N 97028882, and R99654412A. The holders of these numbers have until noon Thursday to bring them to me and redeem them for $25 cash. Tdday is the last day for claim- 1 ing a bonus on the other six i numbers. I allow three days for the claiming of the $25 bonus. If the 125 is not called for at the end of that time, I assume that the holders of the lucky-S2 bills have all the “jack’’ they can use. My campaign to popularize $2 bills is still going strong and each day Treasury officials, bankers and business men speak more highly in praise of it because it is endorsed as “the most effective means yet adopted for creating a demand for $2 bills." Therefore, remember that you are helping the Treasury De partment to reduce taxes by *1,000.000 and participating in a patriotic enterprise when you seek and don’t shun $2 bills. Ask for them in change. Re quest your boss to pay you off with $2 bills and go to bank-; and change larger bills for $2 notes. The more $2 bills you have the greater your chances of seeing one or more of your ■umbers listed among the Mt kies. More lucky number* will be published in The Times tomor- row. So, swing on to your “two spots” and remember that ail the bills listed as lucky each day are positively in circulatio* and that you have as good an opportunity as the next man to get one that will pay you a $25 bonus. Get ail the $2 bills you can, save them, and watch the numbers published in The Times daily. BROOKHART AND STECK BOTH CLAIM VICTORY Senator Smith W. Brookhart, Republican, and Daniel F.

When the Griffs opened their final swing through the West two weeks ago today they were in sec ond place.* They swept the Indians aside in three games, with the Mackmen going to pieces at St. Louis. Three times in a row the Mackmen were whipped by the Browns and their lead was wiped out in as many days. In four games with the Detroit Tigers, the champions broke even, though not playing good ball by any* means. The Mackmen kept step with them against the White Sox. Losing Streak Stays S Then came the break in favor of the champions. In St. Louis, where they have a tremendous mental hazard as a handicap at all times, the Griffmen were walloped three times in a row. but the Mackmen lost their games to the Indians and were unable to take advantage. The final series settled the lead ership. at least for now. While the Mackmen still floundered around and lost three straight to the Tigers, the champions gathered themselves for the final rush down the line and took all three games from the White Sox. The Griffs won eight games-and dropped five in the West, while the A’a took but two out of twelve during the same time. This was a gam of five and a ha|f games for the champions.

We think we can do it.” Connie Mack, the aged leader of the Athletics, declined to comment on the race, save to admit that it was close, and that his team would make a fight down to the end. “Reasonable Spanking Gets Approval of Judge By International News Service BALTIMORE, Sept. I.—Don’t spare the rod on bad children. This is the advice of Associate Judge Lasch, of the juvenile court. “Os course, I do not advocate any brutal punishment, but a reasonable spanking is a won derful remedy for a« bad boy. One great trouble with children these days is that they do not fear punishment, so they do pretty much what they please.

They were convicted and sentenced to pay fines of 310 each. Ac/ording to the evidence, the trouble started over Mrs. Sebas tian’s alleged attentions to the famous wrestler. Mrs. Turner claims that Mrs. Sebastian con tinually called on her husband: also that other women endeavored to ree him while she was in the South. Becoming incensed over these matters, Mrs. Turner, accompanied by her sister and Nash, is said to have gone to Mrs. Sebastian's home, where the sisters engaged in an altercation with Mrs. Sebastian, in which Nash is said to have taken a part. A pair of scissors and a ginger ale bottle were very much in evidence but the court was unable to decide who was responsible for the activities.

INCOME TAX LISTS TO BE USED IN DETECTING LAW VIOLATORS HUNDREDS PAID UP, BELIEF Wrote Records in Returns k Rather Than Face Long Terms, Officials Declare By ROBERT S. THORNBURGH With the eye of the public fixed today on Federal income tax re tarns for 1924, the Department of Justice and police officials throughout the more businesslike view of the earn ings of citizens whose methods of fortune building are not within the law. Bootleggers, who since the Eighteenth amendment went into effect —have accumulated billions in profits, gamblers, smugglers and others, are believed to have written a record of their activi ties across the official face of in come tax returns. Fear Long Prison Terms Many who pursue questionable vocations in life prefer to risk the danger of prosecution for these mis demeanors rather than face long penitentiary sentences, heavy fines and special assessments by failing to make at least partial reports of their incomes, according to informa tion obtained by the Treasury. Special agents of the department of justice will take advantage of the opportunity of open returns to scan the earnings of a long list of men and women whose names are in a pigeon hole file of persons suspected of violating the liquor laws. z Under the direction of Mrs. Mabie Walker Willebrandt, assistant at torney general, this work will start at once on a nation wide scope never before attempted. With the exception of the famous roundup of the Savannah. Ga., bootleg ring, made possible by examination of income tax returns, this unique method of crime de tection has not been employed ex tensively. Net for Tax Dodgers Officials disclosed that the Gov ernment will not confine its atten tion to the income of bootleggers but would examine the returns of a large'number of suspects in many avenues of crime. They believed that hundreds would be rounded up in the Federal drag net. Information obtained not only will be used by the justice depart ment but will be furnished to Gen eral L. C. Andrews, prohibition czar, for the use of his field agents in attempting to break up liquor con spiracies. Coincident today with opening of the returns to public inspection the Special Intelligence Unit of the Treasury launched a drive to un earth tax-dodging. Millions is lost to the Government annually as the result of fraudulent tax returns. The tax ferrets are expected to collect many million dollars in this year’s drive, smtos DUSTLESS ROMS Coating of Sulphite Lye, an Industrial Waste Now, Does the Work I By International News Service STOCKHOLM, Sept. I. Roads In Sweden are made dustless through the use of sulphite lye, an indus trial by-product that hitherto has been poured away as waste. Recent experiments in Stockholm have proved that sprinkling the roadways with this liquid gives them a smooth, brown coating that effectively binds all dust and that the lye, which the paper pulp mills had had difficulty in disposing of without doing damage to vegetation or the fish in rrvers and lakes, had suddenly become valuable. As pulp mills are scattered practically all over the country, the total amount available is not less than 800,000 tons a year. The early tests revealed the draw back that heavy rains washed lye away, so that repeated sprinklings were required. Now an engineer by the name of Gosta Ekstrom has discovered that this can be cured by mixing the lye with a solution of lime and the new process has been patented. When first used, the lye has a slightly disagreeable odor, but this aoon evaporates, leaving a smooth, brown coating that lasts for a con siderable period. The new mixt”-» is also to be used for spraying rail road platforms, station yards and other out-of-doors places where dust usually gathers and as it is deadly to vegetation it may likewise be used for killing weeds and grass on roailroad embankments and drive ways, thereby saving much manual labor. youveturnedto Studebaker t tradeforoneto day STRIKING MINERS LEAVING JOBS i few loHI BtyWjß MF ilf laL Miners on their way from the mines at the Schuklkill county mine at Tamaqua, Pa., closed by the strike. The men demand a 10 per cent wage increase, and the adoption of the check-off system, whereby operators would collect union dues from the miners’ pay envelopes. This strike will affect 158,000 miners all over Pennsylvania. i v REVAMPED BUY MACHINE GOES INTO POWER Enforcement of Prohibition LaW Taken Over by Andrews and His 24 Subchiefs While many details still remain tc be worked out, enforcement of the National Prohibition Act was formerly taken over today by the twenty-four newly appointed ad ministrators will delay the complete General L. C. Andrews, assistant secretary of the Treasury. Changes in personnel, including the replacing of a number of ad ministrators will delap the complete operation of the new enforcement plan for a month or more. It was announced at the Treas ury, however, that the remodeled enforcement machine was actually in operation and that officials were hopeful of results. Andrews to Take Rest With the new machine' at last in motion, Andrews planned to leave Washington tonight for a two weeks’ rest at Grand Island. Prohibition administrators, taking over today the work of divisional chiefs and State directors, began the job of actually decentralizing enforcement methods. By October 15, on which date the entire field' force will be dis missed, Andrews anticipates that the administration will have built up their new organization. Many of the present agents and administra tive assistants probably will be re tained, although a considerable re duction in the force is probable. Six Months’ Test Needed From six months to a year’s test of the new system will be neces sary before its value can be de termined, according to Treasury of ficials. Complete decentralization of pro hibition enforcement marks the end of the system inaugurated with passage of the Volstead act. Admittedly the old policy was a failure, the Volstead act being the “most violated” law on the statute books. Officials predicted that the re vamped dry machine would make possible at least 80 per cent ef ficiency in enforcement. No one claims 100 perc cent perfection for any prohibition remedy. Haynes Out of Power. Passing of the old machine marks the end of the dictatorship of Roy A. Haynes, Federal prohibi tion commissioner. Haynes, strip ped of virtually every executive au thority, remains as the figure-head of the prohibition unit and a kind of a walking delegate for the Treas ury. Commissioner of Internal Rev enue D. H. Blair, under the law director of enforcement, likewise is deprived of a hand in enforcement, administration of which goes into Andrews’ charge. Haynes and Blair, However, find a place along with other lesser lights on Andrews dry war coun cil. They can recommend but they have no authority. little~girlsTreheld FOR STEALING DRESSES NORFOLK, Va., Sept. 1.-“ We just went around ringing doorbells and when no one answered, we went in,” wag the statement of three small girls held at the city detention home on at charge of stealing dresses.

A bright summer day, radiating cheerfulness, greeted anthracite miners today as they arose to while away the time on their hands as a result of the suspension. The tie-up in operations was complete, not a man with the ex ception of the 10,000 maintenance employes reporting for duty. The collieries presented a listless ap pearance, such as is common on Sunday and holidays. Only the engine and boiler rooms showed any signs of activity. No; trouble accompanied ‘the shut down. Pickets were not on duty in line with the orders from the union chiefs. Scores of miners left with their families on vacations. The miners themselves were cheerful and showed little concern over the fact that they were losing over a million dollars in wages daily and facing an indefinite period of idleness. Wm. F.

HE BUSH FINDS Buildings Too Ornate, Like Over-Dressed Woman, He Asserts By International Mm Service LONDON, Sept. I.—" Modern English architects tend to overload their buildingd with too much or nate decorative work,” says Irving Bush. "Modern London is a trifle vul gar, like an overdressed woman,” said Bush. “Buildings such as the National Gallery, the British Museum and Somerset House, with their fine lines and suggestion of artistic re straint, represent, I think, the best of English architecture. There is nothing finer in the world.” Bush severely criticises London office buildings, which are for the most part dark, dingy and extreme ly dreary. "To American business men it often seems strange that leaders of business in this country should be content to continue to carry on their work in old, out-of-date build ings,” said Bush. “A great part of a num’s life is spent in his yet he is will ing to go on working in confined, dark, unhealthy surroundings. He would not tolerate them in his home, so why should he in hie, office?” THOUGHT POLICEMAN WAS MODEL, SO LANDS IN JAIL William Pinkney, colored, would never have been arrested, he told Judge Isaac R. H(tt in Police Court, if he had known that the police man was real. It was a serious error and cost William S2O or 20 days on charges of intoxication and disorderly conduct. The mix-up all occured In a cloth ing store. William thought the cop was a model, placed in that particular spot to display a uni form. He never did like cope any way and this was the first chance he had had to tell one what he thought of the force in general so he started a tirade that brought the model to life and landed Will iam in jail. 3

4 JEAN ELIOT’S GOSSIP OF SOCIETY SONS OF NOTED FATHER WIN LAURELS John Hays Hammond, Jr., Invents New Piano; Brother a Musician By JEAN ELIOT SO seldom do we find creative ability, among the sons of famous fathers that John Hays Hammond’s boys stand out with peculiar interest. This re flection was caused by reading in the society columns of the New York papers this morning a brief notation to the effect that John Hays Hammond, jr., who is to spend the coming week end with Miss Mary Hoyt Wiborg at East hampton, will give a demonstra tion °n Saturday of “the new piano which he has Invented.” x To scientists young John Hays Hammond’s name is at least as well known as his father’s. His ‘‘iron dog,” a small contraption which was operated by means of silenium cells and which would ebey a word of command like a real dog, created no -end of interest when it was first viewed and the principle thus demonstrated which has been used in important experi mentation with the guidance of aeroplanes from a distant point. Experimentation with a piano would seem to be a new departure for this giften Inventor, and there, in a measure, he is trespassing on his brother’s preserves. For Rich ard v Hammond, another of John Hays Hammond’s gifted sons is the musician of the family. He is already becoming knpwn as a com poser as well as an authority on the music of the Elizabethan era and the old English balladry of earlier days. It may be remem bered that when Mr. and Mrs. Hgmmond gave their spectacularly lovely Twelfth Night ball for Miss Natalie Hammond two years or so ago the musical program, which was exceptionally lovely and abso lutely in keeping with the spirit of the times to charmingly depict ed was arranged by Richard Ham mond and embodied a number of lovely old melodies which he I|td rescued fro moblivlon, arranged A>r presentation, and was relntroduc ing *jo' a music lore the richer for their revival. Miss Hammond Is roud Os Her “Pitching Arm.’” Minh Natalie Hammond, only daughter of Mr. and Mrs.* Ham mond, was by, no means neglected when the family talepts were being distributed. An accomplished dancer, she is in great demand few private theatricals and benefits o fone sort or another. Moreover, she has a pretty gift so verse writ ing and can pitch a baseball with speed and accuracy that is almost Indecent In a girt. That's one of the accomplishment* of which she is proudest. It’s an interesting development, too, that his children’s gifts should be 80 different from those which tw* made John Hays Hammond s name a household word. Miner and metallurgist, adventurer and empire builder, there si much of romance summed up i nbis career. And the man who is frequently quoted as the fountain head of wisdom on the coal strike situation retains many ofthe qualities of the young ster who went out to Africa wirh Cecil Rhodes, who was one of the four leaders in the reform move ment in the Transvaal and who, after the Jameson raid, was sen tenced to death —the penalty being commuted to imprisonment, and the youthful fire-eater at length be ing released on the payment of a fl 25,000 fine. The Hammonds have been at their tsummer home at East Glou cester, Mass., for several months and i have not yet heard when they are expected home. It is there, by the way, that John Hays Hammond, jr., has his workshop and laboratories.

HUSTON International New* Service TOKYO, Sept. 1.-—The “jishin,” or earthquake, signal sounded again in Tokyo today. Thio time, hbwever, it did not warn the pop ulace to flee from an onrushing wave of death and terror. It sum moned them to pause for a mo ment in the midst of their busy work of reconstruction and pay tribute to those who died in the great disaster that swept the city on Sept. 1, 1923. Today, the second anniversary of Japan’s greatest earthquake and fire, sees a nation rapidly hiding the scars left by that holocaust. The work of rebuilding is still fat from complete. But much has been done to bring about the erection of ar new Tokyo. Promptly at noon, the hour when the tremendous quake literally shook Tokyo and a large area of Japan off its feet, a subdued signal sounded through the city and all activity ceased for a brief period. Tramcars stopped, the laborers ceased their toil, traffic was halted and the city reverently bowed its head in., memory of those who perished. Only a moment was the activity of the city thus halted and the residents went on about their appointed tasks. In many homes, and in the multitude of temples throughout the city, however, the entire day was set aside to paying tribute to the dead. In each temple and shrine and U. S.

THE WASHINGTON TIMES WED 67 YEARS, AND WILLING ID OBEY Boston Women Scoff Plan to Take Word From Ritual of Marriage BOSTON. Sept. I.—“ Love, honor and obey,’’ are three great words of the marriage ceremony. Should the word “obey” be 'dropped? This question is being discussed in religious circles and social gath erings throughout the United States. The Right Reverend Charles L. Slattery, bishop coadjutor of the diocese of Massachusetts, says the word "obey” is not vital to happl n6The Right Reverend Irving Peake Johnson, bishop of the Epis copal diocese of Colorado, voiced the first protest of a notable leader of the church against the elimina tion of the word “obey.’’ He says that man was made the head of the family because it is his duty to provide and protect, and if woman assum.es leadership the man loses a glory the woman does not gain. Women Differ Greater Boston women, who have enjoyed a half a century or more of married life, differ some what from the opinion of the Right Reverend Johnson. In their opinion if married couples please each other the word •will be complied with. Mrs. James Yeames, wife or a well known Arlington, Mass., clergyman, when interviewed on the subject said: “I have studied this question care fully and I can honestly say that I see no reason for changing the wording of the ceremony and drop ping the word ’obey.’ “After all, it is entirely up to both the husband and wife to make their married life what it i« to be. I say both must please each other and If they do this the word ‘obey’ will be fully complied with and their lives will be happy ones. Ido not interpret that word as meaning to jump at all commands but rather 4 think it means to aid and help and Trapper Amputates. His Shattered Leg; Dies Soon After PERTH, Australia, Sept. I. A. B. Ronald, a trapper, cut off his own leg with a knife after a serious injury and lived long enough to tell about it, but died shortly afterward of blood poi soning. He had been trapping dingoes with spring guns, one of which he kicked, and the charge shattered his leg below the knee. He attempted to drag himself home, but after going about fifty yards found the injury so serious that he decided to cut off his leg.

JAPANESE m« 10 MODERNIZE mtns RevoTt of Women Against Old Methods Coming, Says Professor By LUTHER A. HUSTON International News Service TOKYO. 1. —Japan is head ing rapidly toward a kitchen revo lution.” in the opinion of Professor Hideko Inouye, head of the home economics department of the Nip pon Joshi Daigakn, the only women’s college in the country. This revolution, in Professor Inouye's estimation, will destrov much that is beautiful in the cen turies-old domestic life of Japan but it will bring about healthier and more convenient homes. It will eliminate waste, improve sanitation and vastly lessen the toil of the housewife. Changing economic conditions. Professor Inouye declares, make it impossible for the Japanese to con tinue to live in the way they have lived for more than a thousand years. In her work at Nippon Joshi Daigaku, Professor Induye is in structing more than 500 girls in modern methods of domestic econ omy. “From the point of view of beauty the changes that must come are in many ways regrettable,” said Pro fessor Inouye. “But they must come. We cannot afford to sacri fice comfort and health to beauty, and that is what we have done here tofore in our Japanese houses.” Modernization of kitchens is one of the first changes that must be effected in Japanese domestic econ omy, according to Professor Inouye. Up-to-date cooking utensils, kitchen cabinets, gas and electric ranges must replace the charcoal fires, the untidy shelves and the antiquated pots and pans and cooking dishes that are now used in Japanese kitchens. The Japanese housewife must learn, as the modern Western housekeeper has learned, to prepare a meal with a minimum of labor. W-iy*600,000 for the season of 1924-25. All the theaters charged very high prices—about one-half again more than the New York average. An ordinarily good orchestra seat cost 13 or S 4. Trade union mem bers received a reduced rate. Many trade union members abused the privilege, and the lob bies were full jusf before curtain, with scalpers selling trade union tickets at a rouble or two under boxoffice prices to such "outsiders" as foreigners and Nepmen. No one except “boobs” bought at the boxoffice. The cream of western European musicians will appear on Moscow and Leningrad concert stages this Winter. Fritz Kreisler, Vasa Prl hoda, Jascha Heifetz are some of the violinists who are engaged. Otto Klemperer, Battistinl, Egon Petrie, the Japanese director Ya mada. Jules Marchet are a few whose names will star the Russian billboards during the season. But it Is unlikelv that the king of Russia’s native sons, Chaliapin, will be seen again in his native land. At least not this year, In spite of the often reiterated decla ration here that “Chaliapin will come to Moscow season.” CHARLES TROUT HURT IN THREE-STORY FALL Charles Trout, forty, of 411 S Grant street northeast, fell three stories* from the roof of 1247 Wis consin avenue northwest where he was painting yesterday and escaped wi-h a possible fracture of a rib and bruises about the face.

sum SITLES [NO INFILL Godets and Circular Flounces Appearing on New Paris Models i By ALICE LANGELIER International News Service PARIS, Sept. I.—Straight lines are soon be a' thing of the past, judging from the first fresh models for —autumn wear. Before the leaves fall Madame will probably be declaring her preference for wider skirts and at the same time saying that she never really had a liking for she narrow beltless dresses of the past year. At all events, whether she likes it or not, the death knell for the straight silhouette has been rung. Circular Flounces Appear Godets and circular flounces in all the fifty-seven varieties are ap pearing on all the new models. *The fashion show of the Exposition des Arts, which is now the dernier cri for everything chic, shows that wide and full skirts will be assured for the autumn collections. Jeanne Lanvin distinctly insists upon more width in the skirts. Her picture dresses have, as usual, the very full long skirts of the role de style type and her straight frocks are perceptibly wider around the ankle and a little longer than they have been during the past season. She continues to use kasha for her day frocks and those for sports, while her evening gowns are rich in pearl embroideries, usually on bands of silver cloth. Marine Trimming. Snails and fishes, either painted or embroidered on sports costumes is a favorite Lanvin trimming. Worth is also favoring more width. One of his striking models is em broidered solidly in mother-of-pearl discs of irregular shapes. Another novelty is blue crocodile skin ap pliqued on a navy-blue costume. A velousse de laine has an entire suede skin on a band around the Like Black Flag Powder kills every bug 03 cents For LIQUID and SPRAYER HAQ B nd 3% 1 i in nA. bottom of the skirt and around the jacket. The change is not so marked in costs. Straight coats will be worn throughout the summer and in the autumn as well, though the same i circular movements is to be noticed in fur coats that are being made for the advance showings.

GREECE MOVES TO PUT DEBT TO U.S. Names Two to Funding Com mission—Loan Was Stopped by Differences Over Terms By FRED J. WALKER A two-man commission, consist ing of M. Ch. Simopoulos, minister to Washington, and Michael Ev lambios, director of the Greek Na tional Bank, has been tentatively selected by the Grecian govern ment to negotiate a debt funding agreement with the United States, it was learned today. Bringing to an end an extended period of informal discussions, came word from authoritative quarters that the Athens govern ment had decided to negotiate a plan for paying the $15,000,000 war debt. The lenient terms accorded Bel gium by the American Debt Fund ing Commission were reported to day to have influenced the Athens government to immediately take its chance with the American Treasury because of belief that Greece has if anything, an even stronger plea for favorable terms. Because of uncertainty over the time which will be required for completing the Franco-American debt funding discussions, a definite time has not been set for the meeting, although one month, or six weeks at the outside was re garded today as the probable date. A touchy problem confronts the American commission, if it pro poses to deal with Greece as it dealt with Belgium, it was gen erally believed today. A signed contract, or promise, was made by the United States to loan Greece a total of $50,000,000 during the war. After payments of $15,000,000, further loans were denied Athens on the plea that terms of the contract were not being lived up to by that country. Interest was paid on the $15,000,- 000 until 1922, the Greeks claim, when it began to be understood that further payments on the $50,000,000 would not be forthcom- The return of King Constantine to the Grecian throne was reported at the time as the main reason for the American stoppage of credit. Constantine, who had mar ried a German princess, was sus pected of having pro-German sym pathies. Greece claims it lived up to the spirit and letter of the contract, and stopped interest payments only because America had refused to continue the loan. Demand was made by Athens for the $35,000,000 which it* is claimed, ifc still coming to them on the original contract.

THE WASHINGTON TIMES 1 TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 1925 HUGE Oil LIKE ONOEMITW HO Poor Indians Will Enjoy Bo nanza If Government in Delv ing Strikes Gushers MEXICO CITY. Sept. I.—What ever is beneath the thin crust of earth in this ancient valley is soon to be brought to light. There may be oil. It is certain that there is natural gas and hot water. Just outside the city limits a vast derrick is being erected in co-operation with the government and drilling is to begin within the next six weeks. There is absolutely no geological data upon which to ba«e a con clusion One celebrated geologist says "Mexico is resting on a lake of oil.” Another says that up heavals during the volcanic age must have destroyed any structure which would have held oil. This old lake bed is ninety miles in one direction and seventy in an other; flat like a pancake on the surface, but undoubtedly, followign the conformation of rock strata, below like a huge bowl. Around it on every side are ex tinct volcanoes. When Cortez, the conqueror, first viewed it it was a vast lake, with islands here and there, on which were Indian vil lages. tl4 Mexico itself was built on canals not unlike the city of Venice. The lake was nowhere of any great depth, probably not over ten feet, and has since been drained. It Is now a great alkali flat devoid of vegetation. Indians digging their shallow wells for water have Invariably found gas. And here and there about the flats may be found little pools of crude oil, carefully treasurer by the natives. It goes back to the legend of their patron saint, the Virgin of Guadalupe. Her cathedral is nearby. She is said to have promised the Indians that she would deposit oil, Mt various spots so that they could keep lights forever burning "before her image. The Indians do this, putting the oil in little glass vessels with a wick. The drillers say very frankly that they have no idea what they will discover. Anywhere in the valley one has to dig not to exceed ten feet to find water and a black bed of mud. They have never gone beyond this. In fact, most of the large build ings in Mexico are sinking into this. It is not uncommon to find buildings that have gone down as much as three feet. MRS. GARDENER’S BRAIN IS SENT TO CORNELL The brain of Mrs. Helen Hunt Gardener, late member of the Unit ed States Civil Service Commission, has been sent to Doctor James Papez, Cornell University, in accord ance with the terms of Mrs. Gar dener’s will, it was announced today by Joshua Evans and Guy Mpffett, executors of her estate. No explanation was given of the reasons for the delay In forwarding the brain, which was removed at Walter Reed Hospital, where Mrs. Gardener died. Mrs. Gardener be queathed her brain to the university for scientific study. In making the bequest she stated that in comnara tive studies of the brains of men and women hitherto made, the brains of women of Inferior men tality had been selected and. as a result, women have not been treated fairly in the comparisons. CATHEDRAL AT LENINGRAD TO BECOME A MUSEUM RIGA, Sept. I.—St. Isaac’s Ca thedral, Leningrad, is to be turned into a museum if the recommenda tion of the Communist Academy committee is accepted, according to the newspaper Pravda. The academy has recommended the Soviet National Commiss;grs to nationalize the cathedral, which be cause of the poverty of the Ortho dox Church, badly needs repairs, strip it of its religious ornaments, and convert it in to a Bolshevik national museum. St. Isaacs ranks as the third most wonderful cathedral in Eu rope. The cathedral formerly con tained jeweled ikons, solid silver altar rails, and an enormous Bible, the covers of which were a mass of emeralds.

12 FOBW m m in n wi' Thelma Lee, of Old Doston Family, Now Living in Squalor By International New* Service t iACKSONNILAJE, Fla., Sept. 1. —“Queen of' the Midnight Sun,” i she once was called, but now she lives in a dark, dingy little room in one of the l>ack alleys of this city, a subject of charity, and curses the drug that has dragged her from the heights of romance and popularity into the depths of disgrace and pity. Thelma Lee is her name, a de scendant of one of the old aristo cratic families of Boston. Forty* one years as a drug addict .has made her one of the most pitiful subjects of charity in all Florida- Physicians Know Her All phvsicians here know Thelma. AU of them befriend and pity her. They have done all within their power to cure her, but fourteen unsuccessful efforts have discour aged them. Thelma now has the certificates of -several physicians stating that she would not live longer than a few hours were it not for the drugs with which she continues to saturate her holy. In two years she dwindled from pounds to 90 pounds. The city health officer gives Thelma several grains of morphine a day. enough, physicians say, to kill one who is not accustomed to using drugs. She said that she had. taken as much as sixty grains of mon>hine and sixty grains of co caine in a single day, when “dope could be bought on the streets of New York like molasses candy” Was High Stepper Thelma related a colorful tale of life and what it has held for her.. “I have been a high stepper in my life,” she said. *‘T have worn the best of clothes and diamonds. I have seen the world and know its enchantments, its joys and its sor rows. “I was born in Boston in 1870. I ran away from home at the age of fourteen, because my father mis treated me and wouldn’t allow me any pleasures. He wouldn't evert have a piano in the house. He said a washboard was all the piano I needed. Met Crooked Doctor "“At the outset of my worldly career I fell, into the hands of a crooked doctor. I stayed at this doctor's house for three days and nights. He urged me to take mor phine. He said it would make me feel fine and beautiful. I did take it. We both took it together. 'I was crazy. It was a new world, a new adventure for me. “Finally, my mother discovered me and got me out of his clutches, but not until he had started me on the road to using drugs. The doctor died three days later from an overdose. “Soon after T became a show irirl. I was a toe dancer. I ap peared in the ’Crystal Slipper,* "Over the Garden. WaR7 Arotind the World in Eighty Days,’ and I was captain of the cadets in Duff’s Opera Company. My stage name was 'Thelma Delmore.’ "I frequented all of the high fiass cabarets. I was beautiful in tuose days. They .called me ■Queen of the Midnight Sun.’ Thelma is fifty-five now, but she still maintains those delicate fea tures, and that pleasant smile and disposition which bespeak a past of beauty and popularity. She hasn’t a gray hair in her head. She still uses cosmetics and smokes cigar ettes. In 1918, Thelma developed a dis located spine, caused partly by tuberculosis and partly by sleep ing in chairs. She-was afraid to go to bed for fear she would die. Wedded Chinaman Thelma came to Jacksonville about twenty years ago. Her mother was in dire circumstances and her father was seriously ill. She need ed money. She wanted money to give her mother, so she married a Chinaman, Charles Lee. of this city, who, she said, gave her |503 cash to send to her mother. Charles Lee was a gambler in those days, she said. He made plenty of money and gave her plenty to spend. Her extravagances in Jacksonville at that time can be recalled by numerous people now prominent in the social life of the city. r Thelma did not like Lee, how ever. and he left her about two year*' ago and she hasn’t heard from him since. Her relatives, whom she delighted to talk about, nexer knew that she married a Chinaman, she said. She insisted she wouldn’t Have married him had she not needed money badly at that time and had he not been a dope fiend and supplied her with plenty of opium and other drugs. When asked what she thought of the fight the Government is making to stamp out drugs, Thelma said she thought it was one of the greatest services ever rendered Hu manity.

Pique Os “Unbobbed” Girl Causes 3 Fires PHILADELPHIA, Sept. I. Because a fifteen-year-old Cam den girl couldn’t have her hair bobbed, firemen saved her home from burning three times. Then she ran away once and now is in the house of detention. Mary D’Aiva has long, dark tresses, but she wanted to be “flapperish.” Father and mother said “no.” Mary threatened to run away—and did. When she got back home she threatened “something would happen if she couldn’t bob her hair.” Something did. Twice in one day fire was discovered in her home. Dam age was slight, but bundles of charred newspapers made the firemen suspicious. They ques tioned Mary, but didn’t detain her. But they watched. Another fire. Mary was ar rested. She admitted setting the fires “because she was mad.” Then she took it all back. But she’s still held. But her head is unbowed and un bobbed. WHEATS AMAZING TO BRITONS I 17 Ships of German Fleet Sunk at Scapa Flow Have Been Raised By CHARLES A. SMITH International New* Service LONDON, Sept. I.—Renewed at tention is being directed to the wonderful salvage operations now progressing at Scapa Flow with the announcement that the seven teenth destroyer of the scuttled German grand fleet has been sal vaged successfully. Since early last year this wild and lonely spot in the Orkney Islands has been the scene of oqe .of the greatest salvage feats the world has ever witnessed, during which scuttled ships have Been raised to the surface at an average rate of one every two weeks. The feat is all the more remark able when it is considered that this enterprise Is the first piece of salvage work the firm concerned has ever attempted. I’sed German Dock Ironically enough, the salvage work has only been possible through an ex-Gehnan floating dock being used during the opera tions. The dock was towed from Germany in two parts Over 700 miles of the North sea to* Scapa Flow, and the successful salvaging has been mainly due to the dock being used. Each scuttled ship is raised by the same methods. The floor of the ocean is carefully swept until a ship is located. The two halves of the floating dock are then moor ed on each side of the wreck. Divers then fix powerful 9-inch steel wire cables at each end, and the ship is lifted by man-handled winches sufficiently high to enable other cables to be passed under neath. Altogether ten cables are used and the wreck by this means is cradled between the two docks. Then begins the exciting part of the salvage operations. As soon as the ship has been raised a few feet from the bottom the dock, with the ship in its cradle, is gent ly towed by powerful tu _ toward Mill Bay, a sandy beach on the Isle of Hoy. While the Jowing is in progress the winches are kept working and the ship is thus grad ually lifted until it is beached in shallow water. HOLES SEALED L’P Another party of men then take over the wreck. Divers seal up the holes made when she was scut tled, the water is pumped out, and eventually she is refloated. The third operation then commenses with the towing of the rejuvenated wreck round the headland to Lyness, Orkney, where she is broken up by means of powerful oxy-acetylene flames, which cut through the steel like a knife through cheese. The steel is cut into five feet lengths and shipped to England for sale. So rapid is the breaking up that a destroyer will become a pile of steel plates in three weeks. The biggest undertaking of the salvage company at Scapa will commense next spring, when they commense to raise the two largest ships of the German Grand Fleet, the Hindenburg and the Seydlitz, both weighing 25,000 tons. The company proposes to pur chase a 40,000 ton floating dock, which they will cut into six sec tions, in order to raise these two ships. MINUS LEG AND EYE, BUT TERRIER IS GAME YORK, Pa.. Sept.
