ISLANDERS PAID IN CANDY FOR ECLIPSEJTUDY South Sea Worshipers of Sun Aid Famous Scientists’ Work. Em United Press AN AHA, Niuafou <Tin Can) Island, Oct, 21. Brown-skinned Polynesians, who list the sun-god Ra among their deities, helped world famous astronomers check the accuracy of the Einstein theory today during a total solar eclipse. Long before the sun’s light was to begin fading at 9:09 a. m. (2:39 p. m., central standard time) scientists and sun worshipers were standing by, ready to swing some fifty tons of scientific instruments into action and determine whether light is subject to the laws of gravity. The Polynesians were paid in candy and tobacco for carrying the apparatus to the top of a 100-foot cliff. Each of the astronomers who came to this wilderness of the south seas to study a phenomenon that lasted only 93 seconds was assigned to a special task, and each had his native assistants. Use 65-foot Camera The assignments were made by the United States naval observatory, which sponsored the expedition, and was assisted by scentists from Swart hmore, Ohio Wesleyan and the University of Virginia. Among the observers was Professor S. A. Mitchell, director of the Leander-McCormick observatory of the University of Virginia. This will be the eighth total eclipse of the sun Mitchell has witnessed. A sixty-five-foot camera was to be used by the University of Virginia party in taking pictures of the phenomena. It is an Einstein camera and is set on concrete pillars weghing 2,500 pounds. Deliver Mail in Cans A short distance away smoke was rising from fumeroles in a lava bed spread by a volcanic eruption fourteen months ago. As the result of the eruption in August, 1929, the expedition found only three white men—two traders and a priest—on the island. Niuafou was selected because it happens to be the only land in the exact path of the totality. Half of the island is covered by a lava field. The name “Tin Can Island’’ was applied to the place because of the necessity in delivering mail in sealed tin cans. Ships can not reach the shores because of heavy s'wells, and the mail tossed overboard in tubes is picked up by native swimmers.

Lone(ly) Eagle Lindy Not Good Enough to Ffy With U. S. Pilots, Writer Says.

Bit 'rimes Special Oct. 21.—Colonel In Charles A. Lindbergh may be the world’s best flier in the opin- . ion of elderly matrons, flappers and small boys, but he’s just another good pilot, according to a recent United States military dictum. Lucky Lindy, who successfully’ braved the perils of the north Atlantic, just doesn’t compare with the cream of America’s crack military fliers, it would appear. The Long Eagle no longer is permitted to take a place in intricate military maneuvers, requiring skilled flying, for fear of his crashing into another ship, according to a review of the recent Chicago air races by Richard Carroll in Liberty. “His past trials were as leader (front man) of the famous naval trio,” the article states, “but there, the hard work went to the other two men who had to keep out of his way and still keep formation.” 8 Held in Gaming Raid Eight persons were arrested and two pairs of dice and 40 cents confiscated when police raided the home of Mrs. Olive Wood, Negro, 730’i North California street, Monday night. Mrs. Wood was charged with keeping a gaming house and blind tiger. \

KONJOLA GAVE 1 LASTING HELP IN THIS CASE Indianapolis Lady Credits New Medicine With Bringing Better Health Than She Has Had In Years* i Konjola has won many of its most outstanding victories in bases that have defied and resisted all other medicines and treatments tried. -j

MRS. ONA COLLIER

Its thirty-two ingredients, twen-ty-two of which are the juices of medicinal roots and herbs, make their attack at the source of the ailment, removing the causes. The experience of Mrs. Ona Collier, 1017 Newman street, this city, as recently related to the Konjola Man at the Hook Dependable Drug Store, Illinois and Washington streets, Indianapolis. gives a clear idea of the power of this master medicine. Said Mrs. Collier: “Indigestion was the chief cause of my troubles. I suffered terribly from gas pains around my heart and smothering spells were common. I had attacks of dizziness and became very nervous. My kidneys were weak and I had severe j back pains. My bowel action was ! irregular and I was forced to use | cathartics daily. “Soon after I began taking Konjola I felt better. My appetite im- j proved and I did not suffer from | gas pains. Pains around my heart stopped and I, slept well at night, j Night risings were no longer neces-! sary, my color cleared up and I ! gained in strength. Twelve bottles of Konjola worked a miraculous change in me. I am free from headaches, dizziness and back pains and my bowels are reguuar for the first time in years." There are many such cases in the ■ records of Konjola. It is free from alcohol or harmful drugs of any sort. The Konjola Man is at the Hook Dependable Drug Store, Illinois and Washington streets, Indianapolis, where he is meeting the public daily- . SAMPLES GIVEN —Advertisement.
