70 MILLIONS FOR CANCELLED CAPITALSHIPS Secretary Denbv’s Figures Do Net Include Salvage From Vessels. Special to Indiana Dally Times and Philadelphia Public Ledger. ■WASHINGTON, May 4—Cancellation and adjustment of Nary contracts involved in the capital ship-scrapping program decreed by the armaments conference will cost approximately $70,000,000, according to an estimate of the board of Navy officers recently appointed by Secretary Denby to recommend a method and procedure for destroying tha ships. The amount suggested by the report of the board, however, does not take Into consideration the value of the salvage from the vessels scrapped and 's regarded by Navy Department officials as merely a preliminary estimate. Outright sale of the ships to be scrapped to the highest bidder is recommended as the most feas'ble way of disposing of them. Other methods suggested, if such a plan is not approved by the Navy Department, are: Sinking at sea, selling for destruction in a Navy yard or private shipyard, or destruction in a Navy yard by the Government. The findings of the naval board were made public by Secretary Denby with the expectation that the bill authorizing a scrapping program, * recently introduced by Representative Butler of Pennsylvania, would be taken up in the House. The recommendations are signed by Rear Admirals Taylor, McVay, Potter, Robinson, Gregory and Cole.

Washington Briefs WASHINGTON. May 4.—Now comes a semi-official American voice, that of Dr. ('. K. Seashore, psychologist of the National Research Council of the United States, and denounces Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s proof* of spirit communication as ••trickery.’’ Dr. Seashore, who is one of the country's foremost psychologists, heard Sir Arthur lecture in Washington last Sunday night and saw his ectoplasmic photograph®. This is from a l' lblic statement issued by Dr. Seashore: “The psychologist listening to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is naturally puzzled in the effort to explain the man. How can a man of his experience maintain the stand that be does in his lecture? This question is difficult to answer. The men tality exhibited is certainly different from that which produced Sherlock Holmes. The impression is rather painful. “A scientific demonstration of spirit communication other than through the channels of sense would be of more Interest and value thar any discovery of material science. But those who are best qualified to judge have found no conclusive evidence of such communication. "Many assert that they have such evidence, but it is in a field saturated with trickery, and the type of proof employed does not ctmmend itself to the scientific thinker. Every type of evidence which Sir Arthur brings forth has been Investigated and exposed as either the result of trickery, as in trick photography and sleight-offhand, or as normal though little known and wonderful, but natural manifestations of the human mind.” America's interest in property confiscated and nationalized by the Soviet government in Russia is comparatively small. An authority In Washington est mates its total value at about $150,000,000, which is enormously less than the amounts other countries like Germany, France and Great Britain have at stake. Although the United States has not recognized the Soviet regime and may not do so a? soon as Europe does, our diplomatic authorities allow It to be understood that American nationals will be advantaged automatically under any arrangement concerning confiscated property of foreigners. President Harding Is not embarrassed by any shortage of applications for the place on the Federal bench recently vacated by Judge Landis. The appointment has not yet been made, but the

White House let It be known today the i delay is not due to any lack of willing j timber. Many a lawyer who aspires to obtain one Is capable of earning ten time* the emoluments in private practice, but the toga continues to be eagerly sought by jurists throughout the laud. Bar associations throughout the Illinois sector that is Interested have recommended to the President a wide latitude ot choices. Who, after all, is the “best seller" in the United States? He is not, as many suspect, the popular novelist who put small-town life on the literary map, or even the Boswell who recently reflected Washington in a variety of mirrors. The “best seller” in the country, an authority opined today, is none other than the late Cardinal Gibbons. It is a.erred that the great prelate's "faith of our fathers" long since went into its two-millionth sale and is still in vigorous demand. Another great seller of which Cardinal Gibbons was the author Is “Gems.” an epitome of some of his famous sermons, the sales of which long since ran into the hundreds of thousands. Speaking of books, there comes a priceless yarn that has London for its background. Not long ago a famous American publicist was put up for guest privileges in the Athenaeum. Great Britain's most exclusive club. T'nless you canmanded a brigade at Waterloo or designed St. Paul’s Cathedral, or won a new segment of the earth for the empire, or wrote “Paradise Lost," your chances of joining the Athenaeum are slender. Even to get in as a guest means that a man has to be something. The American asked his a British scholar of note, how a humble Yankee like himself happened to obtain a guest card. “Mr. ,” was the reply, “you once told me you were the author of the ‘Gold I’lank’ in the Republican national platform of 1596. I put that on the application and *he committee passed you. They think its a novel." Mrs. Isetta Jewell Brown, who is making a determined fight for the toga now worn by Senator Swanson of Virginia, was the official “peach" of the Democratic national convention at San Francisco in 1020. She seconded the nomination of John W. Davis of West Virginia for President. When Mrs. Brown mounted the platform to speak, a bewitching figure in a white tailored costume. the convention band struck up “Oh. You Beautiful Doll.” Fifteen thousand voices took up the refrain ami sang it over and over again to the band's accompaniment, resulting in a demonstration that threatened to'stampede the convention for Mrs. Brown instead of for her candidate. At one time a Washington stock company actress and much admired by Mr. and Mrs. Woodrow Wilson when playing here during the first Wilson Administration, she is the widow of a former member of Congress.

W “You Must Not Tire YOURSELF With Housework!” This time-crowned warning from the family physician is seldom heard in the home that has plenty of electrical servants. The electric vacuum cleaner, washing machine, dish washer, the many table appliances—each one of them does away with an immense amount of toil and in the home where they are all used, housework is practically nil. And, there’s a saving in time —in temper—in energy—in pretty hands—and in money—which makes the cost of electrical servants seem trivial. And they are so easy to own!

Your Guarantee of Service Forget the “High-test” Argument HIGH or low makes no difference. It's only a sales argument and a weak one at best. Useful only as an excuse for high prices. It’s a twin brother to old man “high-gravity”, and science has relegated them to the discard long ago. Neither has anything to do with the quality or efficiency of gasoline. There is only one way to measure the efficiency of gasoline and that is by the chain of boiling point fractions. o||gjk n Bui Bed Crown The High - Grade Gasoline It contains an unbroken chain of boiling point fractions, carefully and scientifically adjusted so that you may get the maximum of efficient performance from your car. Instant starting, quick get-away, smooth acceleration, an abundance of speed, and tremendous power all of these essential elements without waste.
