Press TOPEKA, Kan., May 12—Handkerchiefs —just ordinary sniffers — have fattened the bank roll of Miss Nellie Wetherholt and made her one of the most successful business women in the city. Not only that, but sb..- is recognized throughout the country for her excellent judgment in pretty kerchiefs. Twenty years ago Nelle was forced to go to work. She w T as lt years old, untrained but eager and with a penchant for petty handkerchiefs. The department store of which she is now a director offered her two weeks’ trial as a saleslady. She made good and after a year or two insisted on establishing a “handkerchief shop” in the store. The idea was sold to the management and the shop prospered immediately. As Miss Wetherford found amusement in her work she saved from her salary and soon purchased an itnerest in the company. Recently she was made a director, but she still supervises the “handkerchief shop,” which has become known throughout the entire Southwest.

EXCEPTIONAL STRENGTH SHOWN BY MAY WHEAT Other Grains Close Generally Lower; Oats Dull. By United Press CHICAGO, May 12. —Grains closed generally lower on the Chicago Board of Trade today. May wheat showed exceptional strength. A brisk cash demand by shorts and milling interests strengthened on account of favorable weather, lack of exports and lower foreign markets. Corn displayed pronounced weakness. Fine weather and crop conditions and heavy sales to store were factors that dampened sentiment. Little trading w T as done in provisions. The range was lower. Oats, while dull, held relatively steady. INCOME TAX AGAIN Revenue Men Checking Ip 400 Returns at Noblesville.

Decline of raw sugar prices down to the lowest point of the year and the very restricted demand despite this have caused further cuts in refined sugar prices, reports Federal Sugar Refining Company in its review of the industry. The market has consequently been weak and unsettled in the face of the prospects for a Cuban crop even larger than estimated. The Cuban crop this year will total 3,950,000 tons if the excess of actual production over estimate is maintained. In fact, some wellposted authorities are expecting a production of over 4,000,000 tons. The outturn of the seventy centrals which have already finished grinding is 283,072 bags, or 3.6 per cent, higher than the original Federal estimate for these mills.

The bulk of the sales were made at $7.50 and $7.60 with a top of $7.60. The price recovery was said to have been caused by more active local buying. Only a few shipping orders were received in the morning, but local buyers were of the opinionthey could handle the receipts. Pigs reflected the generally better market and were bringing $7 down. Sows remained nominally steady at $6.85 for the smooth light packers, and roughs were quoted accordingly lower. Receipts were 5,000 with 631 holdovers. Cattle trading opened steady to a shade lower with about 1,000 head offered for sale. Due to active local interests steers were selling at $8 to $10.75, a quarter off. Cows and heifers rernaine I at a steady price of $6 to $9.50. Lower outside markets will probably cause a price trimming on the local market, it was predicted by few traders. Inactive buying ruled in the calf division with prices steady. Bulk of saies were made at $lO to sll. A few sales were made at $11.50. Receipts, 550. Less than forty head of sheep were offered for sale, not enough to give the market an accurate test. However, traders believed that pries would remain nominally steady.

U. S. Naval Officer to Fly Plane to Pole

Time * Washington Bureau, IStt Netc York Are. WASHINGTON, May 12—The spirit of Perry and' Lawrence and John Paul Jones Is still strong in the United States Navy. This time its battle-cry is "The North Pole by air, or bust!” Lieut. T. Ralph Davison, U. S. N., is now in Europe preparing to pilot a powerful plane across the pole from Spitzbergen to Alaska, wPh a stop-over at the pole if a landing place is found handy. In this expedition the Navy ia

FOREIGN SEAMEN FLOCK INTO U .S. Serious Problem Confronts Government, Time* Washington Bureau, t.Ui \ew York Ate. WASHINGTON, May 12.—Alien seamen deserting from ships from foreign ports are flooding into the United States, contrary to the immigration laws. So serious has the situation become that Jeremlth Hurley, chief immigration inspector, says that "it ,s the toughest problem of the entire service” today. Hurley says the very minimum of desertions in 1923 was 23,194. In 1922 the figure was only 5,879. “As these figures were compiled by steamship captains they are

The iron pots of Gondricourt JUST after daybreak a traveler along the narrow byways of a small French village can see the housewife beginning her day. Through the open doorway > her fireplace glows like a forge. A heavy iron pot, which she has filled with water from the town pump, is lifted and swung upon the crane. At the other end of the village, perhaps, runs the little stream where she washes her family’s clothes upon the rocks. Throughout the village life of much of Europe, such pictures are multiplied by thousands. Quaint, to be sure, but what grinding and incessant toil these primitive household arrangements mean! In contrast to this, even the remote districts of America boast comfort unknown to the rural life of other countries. Conveniences are found that could not be duplicated in any save the wealthiest city homes of foreign nations. Adequate heating systems, the farm lighting plant, the washing machine, the vacuum cleaner, the telephone and numberless labor-saving devices have lifted modern life in America to unprecedented levels of comfort and ease. To a large measure this has been due to advertising. Advertising has familiarized all of us with new inventions. Advertising has made possible the wide distribution of new products. By increasing sales, advertising has reduced the price of modern household utilities to the reach of the modest purse. By reading advertisements we keep abreast of modern progress

finding some little consolation for j the abandonment of the polar ' flight of the Shenandoah. Lieutenant Davison is now at Pisa, Italy, where two special planes are being built. They are very large, of the Doiner whale type, so, constructed that they can land on ice, ground or water. Will Cost $40,000 They are guaranteed to have a speed of 150 kilometers (approximately 100 miles) an hour and a flight radius of about 1,300 miles. They will cost $40,000 apiece. The United States Navv is not backing the expedition officially. Capt. Roald Amundsen, the Norwegian explorer and discoverer of the South Pole, is its chief sponsor, though Capt. Haakan Hammer, a Danish Arctic explorer, is his partner. The expedition will be under the Norwegian flag. Captain Amundsen wanted America represented and invited the Navy to participate through the loan of a pilot. Lieutenant Davison was chosen from a large number bound to be low," Hurley stated. "For instance, reports made by cap* tains showed but 14,734 aliens deserted ships at New York during the entire fiscal year of 1923, while figures I obtained from the foreign consuls showed 22,329 such desertions there in but ten months of 1923.” Immigration Commissioner Husband. at a recent hearing before the House Committee on Appropriation, admitted that the Government was making little attempt to deport alien seamen because there is no regular deportation fund.

of volunteers and given leave of absence to make the flight. Will Start in August There are a million square miles of unexplored mystery surrounding the Pole, perhaps a frozen new world, for though Peary discovered the Pole itself in 1909, he went and came by the same short route. What lies between Alaska and the Pole no human eyes have ever beheld. Davison will try out the planes first in Italy, then tune them up at Spitzbergen for the final dash. June and l July will be devoted to preparations and the great leap is scheduled for somewhere around Aug. 1. From Spitzbergen to Alaska Is about 2,000 miles. A base or bases will be established between, for fuel. The Deutschland, an exploration steamer, has been bought for use as a parent ship and base, and her sides reinforced with iron sheeting to protect her from the prassure of the ice.

FRANCO-BRITISH NAVAL PACT ENDS Mediterranean Fleet Maneuvers Block Agreement, _ By Times Special PARIS, May 12.—Although French official circles prefer to ignore the fact, French naval authorities do not hide the feeling that the maneuvers of the British Mediterranean fleet off the Balearic Islands marks the end of the agreement arrived at before the war bv which the British home fleet was to guard the channel while the French warships would look out for the Mediterranean. When Sir Edward Grey announced in the House of Commons in August, 1914, that the “entente cordiale” was really a defensive alliance he made known also England and France had taken measures to endure an equitable distribution of their sea forces in the event of war. Up to that time England had allotted part of her channel fleet to the guard of the communications with her Oriental empire. France undertook that responsibility. That decision left England free to meet a possible German menace in the North Sea. But since the Washington disar mament conference placed France in an inferior position, and espe daily since the recent visit of King Alfonso to Italy, when it is understood an Italo-Spanish naval agree ment was drawn up. French navy men have realized the day of Eranco-British naval cooperation has gone by. In the Mediterranean maneuvers aviation has a large place. They are wondering if that does not mean England's response to France's air program. •AN EYE FOR AN EYE’ Tennessee Mountaineer Slays Doctor Who Refuses Call to Brother. By Times Special NEWTON, Mass., May 12. —The law of the mountain —an eye for an eye, a tocth for a tooth—brought death to Dr. W. H. Sblen, physician for a mine company. Mayotte West was slowly dying of pneumonia. His 17-year-old brother Oscar walked miles over mountain paths to Eben’s office only to have the physician refuse to visit the sick man. Enraged, Oscar slew him. In his cell at Anderson County jail, be said: “My brother could have been saved. He died. The doctor wouldn’t come. He died.” So had the youth translated the mountain law.
