Irene Peck o Seattle Company To Take Gold From Harhor > Olympia, Wash.,—(United Press) — Extraction of gold from the mud of Seattle harbor will be undertaken by a company of Seattle capitalists, it was indicated by an application filed with the state land commissioner here. The application asked permission to lease the mineral rights of the entire harbor area of Seattle, including all adjacent waterways and tide lands. The plan is to raise mud from the tide flats by dredges and remove gold from it by an amalgam process. lue application was made by Jliuge f. H. Hanford and John E. Boyer of Seattle. i Officials of the ipnd department say that although there is no question of the presence of gold in the mud of the tide flats, it is doubtful whether it ran be taken out in payiag quantities. Captain Dohm of the department said that he had extracted gold from the nu|d while a student at the University of Washington, but that he could not obtain more than a dollar’s worth of the metal in a day’s work. o Society Scandals Stir Ire Os The Reformers By Cliford Day. < V. P. Staff Correspondent) London.—(United Press.)—England has just closed the dizziest, maddest society seaso nin her history. An unprecendented plunging and splashing in the social whirlpool has left an ugly backwash of pungent scandal and public uproar against extravagance and loose living. Labor leaders and social reformers a>e issuing ominous warning. They deplore the rapidity with which the epidemic of lavish spending and moral decadence is spreading from the ranks of the wealthy to the poorer classes, and say a vita! fibre of the nation is imperilled. And the glittering jewels, dazzling dances and gour- - niandish feasts of the upper crust, they contend, have stirred disturbing rumblings among the millions of hungry and workless. John R. dynes, Lord Privy Seal in e late Labor government, told the House of Commons with brutal frank ness what he thought of it. " e have had a brilliant London season, he said_ "with an unrestrainp exhibition of extravagance. Never such dinners, uever such Purties, never such dancing, never ~ dressing and jewelry. 1 liese displays gratify and stimue any tendencies there may be to i dissatisfaction." ! < v,-i?h ) 111 ' 1 r - b l )o uslble leaders, even' I Tory 11 tlle ran^s of the reigning < ' party - have joined with Clynes t

in his condemnation. Many of the critics attribute the rising tide of social laxity to the in j creasing ascendancy of women and * girls as the pace-makers of society. While the ambitious hostesses of the London West End vied with each other in unbridled expenditure and lavishness, women and girls in the more Bohemian and less wealthy sectioii of society were gradually stealing from men the traditional reins of control. A new type of society woman has come into being, a type which the dis tinguished surgeon Sir William Arbuthnot Lane has described as ’’highly strung, nervous, overstained —looking for pleasure and excite ment." Dr. Hugh Crichton Millar. HarleyStreet nerve specialist, testified in a recent divorce suit that certain modern women “live too fast’ and take stimulants to enable them to do it. I see many women to whom that applies and few of them are happily married.” o Crop Report Shows Fine Outlook For Corn Indianapolisc, Sept. 5. — (United Piess) —Despite unfavorable weather conditions of late spring, the corn crop in Indiana this year will be a bumper one. Harry Dietz, assistant state entomologist, declared today. I .ate frosts did some damage to the corn but weather conditions since fSen n>a<i» • >», for the ewrlv..handicap, Dietz said. Lack of rains early in the season prevented weeds from getting a good start, and tiiis lessened the work of cultivation and added strength to the corn. Before the drought had damaged the corn to any groat extent there began a period of abundant rainfall, mingled with unusually warm days which caused the corn to grow at an unusually rapid rate. The corn stalks grew unusually high in many sections of the state and the ears developed large and full. Recent dry weather has aided the corn in maturing to withstand tnc danger of early frost. Oats were » total failure in some sections although very good in parts of the state. The Into freeze aud early dry weather cuj down the oat yield. The same conditions were responsible for a light wheat yield in some parte of the state. Tomatoes were virtually destroyed by the freeze and had to be replanted. In many cases the seeds for the replant were not treated for leaf spot, a very harmful tomato infection. The result was an outbreak of the j infection and a poor yield in many sections. The apple crop is good in al! sec ; tions where proper care was taken of the orchards, Dietz said. Dry weather caused a decided decrease of a! 1 harmful diseases which lias cut the yield badly in other Peaches were very scarce, due to the freeze, but in some sectons where the frost did not spike hard, peaches were'large and plentiful. — o— — Indiana Radio Week To Begin Sept. 21 Indianapolis.

September 26 i ‘Because of the widespread interest in radio by Indiana people in every . walk of life, the manufacturers of radio sets and accessories are bring- . ing Into Indianapolis the latest developments of the radio world. Here they expect to show to thousands of Indiana people the progress that has been made in the science that has brought whole states into closer relationship and has permitted the people of widely scattered areas simultaneously to enjoy the same program or listen in on the same information regardless of the remoteness of their location. The first annual Indianapolis Radio Exposition is to be only a state wide event in 1925. Next year, in accord with the plans of officials of the Broadcast the show is to be known as the Mississippi Valley Radio Exposition and it is to rank with the three largest I radio shows of the nation—New York. Chicago and Los Angeles. The following officials of the] Broadcast Listeners’ Association are in charge of the first radio exposition: H. A. Luckey, president; Geo. L. 3’ossbrenner.

- ’ trying to make some room on the > bench of the New York Giants for several promising young outfielders, he took an invoice of his stock on hand i and deeiiled that Irish Meusel. his veteran left fielder, was not an essen1 tial. He offered him to the Chicago Cubs for Bob O'Farrell, the veteran catcher, | but the Cubs didn’t want him. He [ ' tried to sell him to the Boston Braves » ’ { but fbuml no market and finally he asked waivers on him with no response. The salary was too much for some of the less prosperous clubs that might have used him. All dressed up with nothin' to do, ! Meusel spent his time on bench duty , during the first half of the pennant . race and he didn't grumble. He hail been throvjgh his ups and downs be- , | fore and he took his position with a 1 . j fatalistic philosophy. i I Finally the chance came and when ' . ‘ it arrived, he jumped back into the i . game with the enthusiasm of a p’aycr | who had been starring all season ini stead of one who was being used bci cause there was no oue else to be 1 used. i Hack Wilson, star of the 1924 sea- ; ; son, blew up and Frank Walker, one of the sensations in the training campl last spring also failed to deliver and I Irish went back to his old pasture. His tiiqely hitting—he always was i a terror in a pinch—did more than any- j ’ thing else to keep the Giants in the ■ race on the club's second western I ’ trip, ami when the team returned ; I'.n'm? be kept winning game after | game. j Perhaps new ambition was born in [h'm when he found out that he was slipping out of the major leagues ano that no other clubs wanted him. The threat of the minor leagues may have invigorated him but the causes are not important. If the Giants win the National Leag u e

pennant, much of the credit must go to Irish, and it is certain that when McGraw takes an invoice this winter, he will not be listed among those who can be spared. • * * Meusel was not the only one of the lower ranking celebrities on the team who came through in a pinch when | the Giants were fighting to keep out I of third place Hank Gowdy, “old Golden Rod," he- j roof the battlefield and the diamond, joined Meusel on a rampage of hitting and delivered when the big stars of the team were not coming through. Gowdy was one of the mainstays behind the bat last season but there were rumors early this season that in | some unknowwn manner he had brought upon himself the displeasure of his boss. He was used very seldom behind the bat, although lie is a much smarter catcher than Snyder or Hartley, a much better hitter and just as fast t* > they are. Yet he as not given much work until the second western trip and he was | one of the leaders of the attack that carried the team through the enemy territory. Just before the team returned home McGraw announced that Gowdy had been released to negotiate for the management of the Columbia American Association club. This looked like a magnanimous move on the part of ' McGraw, hut developments placed a different light on it. Gowdy landed the Columbus job and said that he was going to take a vacation for the remainder of the season, and the next thing heard Was that he ! was talking terms with Jack Dunn to finish the season with the Baltimore Orioles. It is hard to reason why McGraw would let a catcher who was | batting .325 get away from him (o a j minor league club for six weeks of the most important fiart of the season.
