Mr. and Mrs. Anderson and their daughter have been on a visit to Norway and Sweden and now are turning homeward. “The people Os Alaska ere turning from prospecting to farming,” continued Mr. Anderson. ‘‘Despite the average person’s mental picture of Alaska as a snow-bound place, the climate is ideal for vegetables and for many kinds of fruit. “Extension of railroad lines and coastwise steamships have greatly facilitated travel and Alaska is getting to be more and more of a tourist resort.” Novel Business Scheme Bii Timet Special SPRINGFIELD, Mass..

Nipple Found in Fish By Timet Special BOSTON. Mass., July 29.—Some curious finds have been made in the interiors of fish caught in the past, but the most unusual thus far was yielded by a huge codfish taken a few days ago on the trawls of the schooner Benjamin Wallace, from the waters of the Rips, off Nantucket. Frank d’Entremont dressed the fish for market, and in its stomach he found a rubber nursing nipple. The nipple was slightly discolored, but otherwise in good condition.

They were married. Then followed fifteen years of happiness. Four children came. But three years ago trouble crept in and the lovers took to quarreling. These grew more violent. And because their love was so strong, these quarrels hurt the more. Soon they parted. Her path led to California. He stayed irk New York —alone. With the inspiration of his sweetheart-wife gone, Gilbert lost interest in his songwriting. In fact he lost interest in life itsel£ On a particularly bleak day last January the big inspiration of his life came. The love for his wife swelled in his heart qnd again he burst into song.

I only asked you what I could use to get the sticky etuff off the steps.” “Water.” “But it's glue or something. Water won’t touch it.” "Snails.” came back to the voice in insistent reiteration. Bang! 'And Wallace got & receiver in his ear. Later. In a very small voice, “I guess you’re right, Mr. Wallace.” "They are snails?”“Yes. What can I do?" “Wash ’em off with water.

Thank you,” all in a very small voice. “The sticky stuff,” explained Wallace, “is just the snail’s track he lays down before him as he walks. He J las to have something slick to crawl on.

I know you have never ceased to care for her. Let me tell you a secret —she loves you now as much as she ever did in her life.” But in the meantime the wife had sued for divorce and had obtained an interlocutory' decree.

MOTORMAN’S JOB NOT JUST ‘CLANG ' tUnlike Auto Driver, He Must Be Trained Farmers Make Best Ones, Says Instructor,

"The automobile has brought about a great change in the life of a street car motorman,” said James A. Lynch, instructor of motormen for Indian.-polls Street Railway Company since 1?16. “It used to be that a horse would get out of the way of an approaching street -far, if the driver didn’t have sense enough to, but automobiles do not have brains. The reckless driver is our greatest problem,” he said. The motorman is a highly trained man; the automobile driver Is anyone who can get ahold of a car. The driver of an automobile may be young or old: rattle-headed or attentive; responsible or careless. He may flirt with the giggling girl at his side or gaze at the scenery instead of the road. He may drink all he likes. He guides a machine faster, more erratic, less controllable and more dan gerous than a street car, and needs more qualifications than a motorman, yet has less. Worse Than Speeders Lynch believes that the Improper driver is more dangerous than the occasional speeder who "knows how to drive.” Persons who are driving cars all the time, such as taxi drivers, seldom ever have accidents—one reason is their job depends upon efficiency. Usually it is the owner who "does as he pleases” that gets in trouble. Many persons when tiiey buy anew car will attempt to drive with only two or three hours’ instruction, and take their "dear ones” along, endangering their lives. Lynch makes motormen out of oil kinds of folks. They send him machinists, electricians, policemen, teachers, preachers and occasionally a newspaper men, and expect him to make a first-class motorman. Prefers Fanners “To take a car through congested downtown districts without accidents requires a capable person. Men between the gase of 30 and 40 are most responsible. I prefer men from the farm, too. They're more careful,” Yynch said. “If motormen were one-third as careless as half of the automobile drivers, there would be five times as many accidents as there are today. ‘‘Most people think it is easy to run a street car, and they laugh when they find it takes from eight to to learn It,” said Lynch. Recently a policeman, who had more than an average education, applied for a job". When he was told to ride with an experienced man three days he said; “It doesn’t take that long to learn to run a street car, does it?” After a few hours he was given a chance to operate a car and threw up the job when he saw the responsibility entailed. A Motorman’s Duties Some things required of motormen; To keep calm, knowledge of car and safety instructions; know where juntcions, curves, stops and railroads are: over ?■ old; know

cross bar that has eight or ten auger holes, through which short, tough wooden pegs are driven. The cross bar should be reinforced by a stiff branch lashed firmly to the handle and ends of the bar. You can make a wooden shovel by splitting a piece out of the heart of a good-sized stick of stovewood and trimming it down to the shape desired, the shovel and handle being in one piece. The cutting edge can be hardened by seasoning, and by slightly charring the edge in a fire. Make a dish mop or scrub brush by splitting the end of a tough, green piece of witch hazel, hickory, ash, or some other straight-fibered wood, an inch and a half In diameter. Then turn back over the splintered end carefully cut shavings trimmed down to leave a smoothly finished handle. The length should be ten to fourteen Inches, the brush end being three to five inches. Firmly bind the bent-over ends with a heavy cord or tough bark to hold them in place. For a wash basin, take a log ten inches in diameter and two feet long, split it in half and hollow it out by hewing with a hand axe. It won’t be handsome, but it will be serviceable. When you want hot w r ater bend a slender stick into the shape of fire tongs, which can be used ,to lift hot rocks out of the fire and drop them into the wooden wash basin to make the water boil.

schedule of time and points( and be able to make minor repairs? He must have a reasonably good watch, a cap, and after thirty days a uniform. First, a motorman goes out and watches an experienced man fog three days on the same line; then he spends from five to nine days on other lines. "A motorman can not count on anything getting out of his w r ay. The secret of avoiding accidents is to start and stop in time. Cars must slow up at every street, so as to stop even with curb if necessary,” Lynch said. Lynch tells them to make liberal use of the gong. He said that they had no trouble with men drinking for several years. Motormen are instructed to have their cars under perfect control and "never try to beat the other fellow* to it.” WATER MAINS STUDIED Plan Additions in Vicinity of Recent Lumber Fire Fire Chief John J. O’Brien and Frank C. Jordan, secretary of the Indianapolis Water Company, will investigate the water mains in the vicinity of Twenty-eighth St. and MacPherson Ave. to see what additions are necessary for adequate fire protection. A conference Monday betw’een Jordan and William H. Freeman of the board of works revealed that surroundings made the SIOO,OOO DynesPohlman lumber yard fire early Friday almost inaccessible for fire fighting. Anew main down Twenty-eighth St., east from Bellefontaine St., has been suggested by O’Brien to eliminate the dead end and provide circulating mains. GIRLS’ ASSAILANT HELD Colored Man Draws Knife in Chase, Police Say. Andrew Butler, 35, colored, 365 W. Eleventh St., is in jail today charged with vagrancy. Police say he stopped two girls near New York and Bright Sts., and attempted to talk to them. They ran home when he followed them and Frank Rattigan and Woody Laffey, 925 W. New York St., heard the girls’ screames and gave chase. Butler is said to have drawn a knife on them, but is said to have fell and dropped it. Police could not find it on him after he was caught and held by Laffey. Window Broken in Fight Mr. and Mrs. Elvay Blakely, 544 N. Senate Ave., told police two colored men and two colored women had an argument at 547 N. Senate Ave. One of the men was struck and knocked through a window of the tailor shop at that address.

CANADIAN WHEAT CROP HALF SIZE,, EXPERTREPORTS B, W, Snow Estimates American Yield at 450,000,000 Bushels, By United Press CHICAGO, July 29.—8. W. Snow, leading crop expert on the Chicago Board of Trade, who retui-ns Monday from a tour of Canadian wheat regions, today estimated the Canadian wheat crop at little better than half the 1923 harvest. A yield of approximately 450,000,000 bushels in the three largest grain producing provinces, Saskatchewan, Alberta and Manitoba, w r as the estimate of Snow. In the two most fertile wheat provinces, Saskatchewan and Alberta, said Snow, the season has been bad from the beginning and a crop shortage is now determined in everything except amount. Rainfall Light "The most important producing districts have been without sufficient rainfall all through the season, and millions of acres north of the Canadian Pacific Railroad can never be cut for grain.” “Up to this t!me,” declared Snow, "the situation In Manitoba has beeni generally favorable, however. Spring! started In with a prolonged dry period, but rains about the middle of July saved the situation. "If Mantoba’s acreage—more than two and a half million—-yields an ordinary crop you can expect all of 50,000 bushels for that province, which is better than normal.” But the crop will be late, Snow predicted. Along with lateness and the danger of frost, a widespread infection of black rust has made its appearance. Snow said. While rains tend to check this blight, according to the forecaster, no one has the right to say whether it will or will not seriously injure the crop. Figures on the American crop show, on the other hand, much cause for rejoicing, Snow asserted. If the -Wheat yield in the United States reaches 750,000,000 bushels, as there is reason for believing, there will be at least $300,000,000 increase in the value of the United States crop, allowing a margin of 40 cents per bushel over last year. The extent of the w'heat carryover in the United States as estimated by Snow is as 34,000,000 bushels held by mills and elevators and 31,000,000 bushels in the hands of farmers. Better Adjustment The underlying cause for the radical -eaction in grain values in the last five weeks, as given by Snow, was not anticipation of a marked world shortage, so much as a better adjustment between supply and demand. A In other words, the probable crop Ifc no bigger than the estimated world margin of consumption, leaving an equilibrium that has not existed since the war. "The sore spot in the prosperity of the American farmer has been the fact that farm products were out of line with price of staples which the farmer had to buy. The last five weeks readjustment of this relationship has restored the buying powers of the farmer and presages general upward-movement in all departments of national trade. SCHOOL REPAIRS TO BETAKEN OP Board, in Regular Meeting, Will Discuss Survey, Plans and specifications for necessary repairs on twenty-five grade school buildings in the city will be submitted before the school board in its regular business session tonight at 8 o'clock.
