FIRE DESTRUCTION ON INDIANA FARMS SHAT considerable part of Indiana’s population whose business is farming is urged by National Board of Fire Underwriters to lieed the wisdom of schooling in practical fire prevention. ' . ... * * “It is found,” says the board, “that during 1918-1921 no less than $2,270,360 worth of Indiana farm property went up in smoke, the great bulk —probably 90 per cent—of this loss being from causes that were strictly or partly preventable. “Chiefly responsible among the known causes in the State was ‘lightning.’ This element alone inflicted $348,906 damage, although its. ravages might have been reduced to trifling proportions by the.proper installation and maintenance of approved lightning rod equipment. “Prominent also -among the causes of rural fires in Indiana were ‘sparks on roofs,’ with $299,607 recorded loss; ‘defective chimneys and flues, ’ with $282,833; ‘ spontaneous combustion, ’ with. $108,680, and ‘matches —smoking,’ with $82,139 loss.” Every one of these causes is regarded by fire prevention engineers as strictly or in large part preventable by the exercise of care. “To appreciate what this permanent waste of property means, it is only necessary to think of such a sum as $2,270,360 spent constructively in the interests of the rural population of Indiana,” the underwriters continue. “It would for example, have purchased 4,540 farm tractors at SSOO each, and thus have helped to lighten labor and to increase production; or it might have been invested in good roads, of which no State has more than it needs; or again, if thrown into farm loans it would have been no negligible factor in agricultural financing. “As to fatalities and mutilations due to fire on the farm, while there are no statistics available to serve as a guide, conservative opinion holds that of the 30.000 deaths and injuries by fire in the United States last year, a regrettable occurred in rural districts—and Indiana did not escape the payment of its share of this grisly tax. “It might/have done so, as well as materially reduced the property destruction, if to their strong strain of common sense the farmers of the State had added a reasonable amount of firecaution.”

.JUDICIAL ARROGANCE ANSAS CITY has a crime wave that has aroused its popu- *** lation and press to justified protest. On a recent Sunday, the Rev. "Baxter Waters, a leading pastor of that city, preached a sermon of general comment on the prevalence of crime there and the apparent breakdown of the police, courts, and all lawenforcing and administrative powers. The following morning he was summoned to the Circuit Court of Judge Thad B. Landon, where, standing at the bar, he was severely catechised and condemned by the court for his utterances in the pulpit. There was no case or charge pending against Dr. Waters; he was not in direct or indirect contempt of court; he had interfered in no way with the orderly processes of judicial or legal affairs; he had violated no rules of any court; he had jeopardized no act of justice. He had merely given voice to and comment on what was of very common knowledge in the city. Without the slightest authority and without one scintilla of moral or legal right, he was haled into this particular court and riliated and browbeaten. More than that, the court employed occasion in telling the preacher just what hq should and should not say in his sermons. He made plain that his judicial purpose was not alone to visit unwarranted and illegal punishment upon the helpless man before him. He was attempting to place a muzzle on free speech. If there has been, at any time, a more flagrant and arrogant violation of the lawful rights, powers and privileges of a court of justice than this, it has escaped eyes that are ever on the watch And yet there are lawyers and jurist's-who pretend they cannot understand why contempt for courts is a growing sentiment among the people.-,

BUT HOW ABOUT THE BOODLERSf mHAT Senate committee on the Veterans’ Bureau has wound up its “constructive investigation” and made its prelirai : nary report. It may be constructive, but: It says nothing about the charges of graft, fraud and corruption, which General O’Ryan, committee counsel, says was established by Avitflesses’'testimony and documentary evidence.' It says nothing about the purchase of hospital sites at inore than twice their value at Livermore, Cal.-; Sulphur Springs, Mo., and other points. - It says nothing about the payment of huge sums to architects for worthless plans for hospitals never built. - . It says nothing about’ the clean-up. i r n the.saie of ,£royernment drugs from PerryvilTe which witnesses said officials were planning when caught- ' * ' - ' . It says nothing about the use of wine, women and song in Washington by agents of big contractors to bag generous building contracts at fat and unfair profits. It says'nothing about the testimony of one Elias Mortimer that at least once $50,000 was split three waysyofficials sharing, for the granting of certain construction 'contracts to Mortfmer’s company. ' ' It says nothing of the costly inspection junkets by which tens of thousands of dollars were squandered giving high bureau officials “swell trips” and good times. It says nothing of a lot of other rottenness in the old Veterans’ Bureau, which was hinted at the hearings, but which was hushed up when it developed into too much of a high up Washington scandal. A “constructive investigation” and a “constructive report” may be all right, but it is no excuse for whitewashing fraud, corruption and boodling in general. Somebody was responsible. The most constructive thing the Senate committee can do is brand the responsible parties and turn them over to the proper authorities for trial. When grafters and in Government, service are punished for crookedness jias certainly in public as ip private employ, then and then onlyßrill we have good management of Gov-

QUAKES ARp CAUSED BY CRUST SLIPS Tremor Zones Follow Moun- . • •< > $ , tain Chains, Weakest Part of Earth's Surface, By DAVID DIETZ Science Editor of The Times Copyright by David Dietz mllE contraction of the earth’s surface, as we have seen, is responsible for the rise of continents and mountain ranges. All life upon the earth, therefore, owes, it existence to this fact. But while th,i|s contraction makes life possible, it also results at times in the destruction of -life. For it is the chief cuuse of earthquakes. An earthquake is caused by a sudden movement, or slipping of a part of the earth's crust. Earthquakes occur in certain regions. These are the regions of greatest upheaval. during the last movements of the earth’s crust which resulted ip the buckling up of the present great mountain ranges. The largest earthquake region extends along the line of the Alpine-Him-a lay an mountain system. It starts in the Alps and extends to central China, taking in Italy, the eastern Mediterranean, the Caspian, and the Himalayan mountains.

Youngest Mountains These mountains are among the youngest upon the earth. Many geologists believe that they are still growing, that is, still being pushed up by movements of tho earth's crust. Over pne-fifth of the earthquakes occur in this region. Another great earthquake region extends from the Bay of Bengal to north of New Zealand. It includes the mountain region through the Malay Archipelago. A third region starts at Kamchatka, a peninsula at the eastern end of Siberia, 'and follows the eastern coast of Asia to the Philippine Islands. This region includes Japan. There are three earthquake regions In America. One li<-s along the coast of Alaska and British Columbia. ie second begins in California and t-nds in Ecuador. The third is along the west coast of South America from Peru to Patagonia. Another earthquake region is the West Indies. Geologists believe that at one time these islands were all connected together Into a continent, but that great regions subsided, owing to movements of the earth’s crust, leaving the present archipelago. Southern Quake Region A southern earthquake region extends from South India westward to Mauritius in the Indian Ocean. Another large earthquake region extends from North Africa to Spain and Portugal. A smaller region includes tne Bermuda Islands. Many factors tend to aggravate the natural instability of these weaker portions of the earth’s crust. One is the atmospheric pressure. Delicate measuring Instruments prove to the satisfaction of geologists that when the atmospheric pressure is heaviest in western Japan and when heavy rains fall there, the result is an upward tilt of eastern Japan. It is Unnoticeable of course, except for the Records made by exceptional delicate Apparatus. Strains in the earth’s crust are also aggravated by the tidal pull of the moon and by the fact that the earth does not rotate smoothly upon its axis but wobbles somewhat as it rotates.

INVENTOR IS AFTER GOLD OF PIRATES Man, '9O Years Young’, Gets Financial Backing for Expedition, By NEA Service u l'd ninety bars of sold, as I sail'd, as I sail'd I'd ninety bars of gold as I sail'd: It’s ninety bars of gold, and dollars manifold With riches uncontroll’d, as I sail'd.” OEWISTON, Maine, Feb. 18.— This, was the song of none other than Captain Kidd himsejf. And now comes along Moses King, Jr., s.tyling himself “ninety years young,” who says he knows where some of those ninety bars of gold are buried and he’s planning to search for them with a device of his own manufacture. Just as soon as the snows and the ice are gone from the Sheepscot River, King will start ouf on his expedition to grapple for the chest of gold, which he says is embedded in the river bed. Joined Expedition When King was a lad of 20 he joined his father's expedition up the same stream and for a similar purpose. With them went Jeremiah Trask, an old friend of the family. Trask claimed his great-grandfather had been a buccaneer with tho real Capt. William Kidd, the Scotman who was executed in London in 1701 for piracy Trask told his friend King his greatgrandfather even helped Captain Kidd hide some of the valuable loot in the very same Sheepscot River, not far from the village of Wiscasset. The Buccaneer Trask had willed to the fourth generation charts, maps and diagrams showing the location in the Sheepscot River of the buried loot. The story goes on to tell how after repeated trips made up the stream from Wiscasset in the sloop “Glory” by Moses King, Sr., Trask, a professional diver named MacGregor and young King, then a lad of 20. the party finally came across a sort of chest which they believed to be that of the poforious Captain Kidd. Remembers Experience But let King finish the story: “I was just 20 at the time," he says. “I remember the experience as if yesterday had been the day it happened. “One morning shortly after sunrise as we were raising the anchor of the sloop ‘Glory’ to the cathead, MacGregor, the diver noticed on one of the flukes a box-like affair resembling an old chest. “A chest it was. and we firmly believed it to be Captain Kidd's very own. It was without a doubt the same one MacGregor had found in the mud a week before but which he had been unable to extract. Hut the thing was apparently so very heavy and so poorly attached to the anchor that suddenly it fell off and splashed into the river again with a terrific thud. That was the last we ever saw if it. Never Found It “Though we stayed about that spot for weeks, night and day, working and even went back on expeditions year after year we never found that chest again." At dinner one evening last year King told this story to a Portland banker. He was fascinated by It and said he would finam e another expedition up the Sheepscot River to look for Captain Kidd’s ttrasure chest. King, who had long been working on a grappling device, borrowed enough money to complete his Invention and it is with this device he. his hanker friend and a party of historians of New England will start lip the Sheepscot River In April. And some day. perhaps, this old law-yer-author-ex soldier may And his dream of childhood come true. Science | A comparison of ants, bees and wasps shows the Influence of foods on form of life.

Animal Facts Years ago. when horses were dirtcheap, ranchers up in the Columbia River country near Bend, Oregon, turned their extra Dobblna loose to shift for themselves in the mountains. They have increased so mightily in the wild State that the neighbors are talking of hunting them to death as a nuisance. A neighboring housecat hunted New York Zoo for rabbits, hare and other small exhibition animals so successfully it tired of the pieat and ate only the brains of its victims. Oddest, most interesting bird on this continent, the flamingo has left the United States. His last refuge was Florida, but the milliners got him for his beautiful searlet-all-over plumage. He has legs like bean poles. Two colonies’ of the flamingo still exist in the Bahamas, sixty mites across the gulf stream from Florida. Millions of therp swam African lakes. After becoming almost extinct, fgret "refuges” in Louisiana have saved this snow-plumed bird and that State is now said to have 30,000 pairs of them.

The electricity goes to large electric motors, specially designed for this purpose, which are directly connected with the propeller shafting. How are artificial diamonds made? By dissolving carbon in molten iron. This is cast in a mold and when the exterior has solidified the mass is suddenly cooled by a stream of water. The outer part contracts and greatly compresses the interior, and part of the carbon separates out, and crystallizes as diamond. How are electric light globes on the ceilings of theater replaced? By the use of a long pole with a clamp on one end to hold the bulb. Is there any place in the United States where it rains only once a year? Ganeraly speaking, no. However, Death Valley, California, has been known to experience only one shower of rain in a year. What are the proper refreshments to serve at a dance?

On the contrary, it directs that the tax shall be refunded to all persons who use It for any other pur pose than automobiles or motor trucks. How is the Supreme Court going to interpret that? If there's any way of declaring the tax legal, as against the very simple and very positive rule in our State Constitution, law must indeed be a very queer and amazing thing' Why hasn’t the case been pushed before the Supreme Court?
