SSOO GIFT TO AID RED CROSS CLOTHING FUND Membership Drive Is Given Anonymous Present for Campaign. The Indianapolis Red Cross got ofl to a flying start in its November campaign membership when headquarters announced the receipt of an anonymous gift last night of SSOO. The gift was unsolicited, and was presented with the request that the money be used to promote the work of Red Cross volunteers in supplying clothing for Marion county’s needy families during the winter. These workers last year distributed more than 200,000 garments in Indianapolis and Marion county, making more than 80,000 of them in their workshops here. SSO Gift Received A second anonymous gift was received this morning. The donor specified that the SSO he sent be used to buy Red Cross memberships for those who will be unable to join this year because of prevailing economic conditions. Reports from workers in the field indicate that more multiple memberships will be subscribed this year than in the past. Many persons have signified their intention of subscribing for five, ten and twenty-five-dollar memberships. Commutes Are Formed With the residential campaign in full swing, other divisions will begin their drive next week. Robert H. Bryson, chairman of the industrial division, met his workers at the Columbia Club at noon today, and expects to announce the personnel of his committee soon. The downtown division, under Mrs. Wolf Sussman and Mrs. Russell Fortune, is completing its organization. The leaders will issue supplies to their more than three hundred workers Monday.

COAST SURVEY WORK COVERS 103,000 MILES Shore Line of U. S. and Possessions Four Times Earth’s Circumference. By Science Service WASHINGTON. Nov. 3.—ls you were to travel over all the shoreline of the United States and its possessions, you would cover a distance four times the circumference of the earth at the equator. The task of mapping all the territory. more than 103,000 miles in length, is one performed by the U. S. coast and geodetic survey. Captain R. S. Patton, director of the survey, reports that twenty-one new charts and 152 new revisions of existing charts were issued by this bureau during the past fiscal year. The total number of nautical charts now issued by the survey is 752, and these are supplemented by 5,515 coast and intracoastal pilots' 31,609 tide and current tables, and 958 tidal current charts.

Massive Defense System Unveiled by Arrest of German Spy. BY MORRIS GILBERT NEA Service Writer PARIS, Nov. 3. —The arrest of La Belle Sophie Drost—cross roads Mata Hari, who tried to sneak a new-type French machine-rifle into Germany in a taxicab—unveils a widespread net of espionage whose nucleus is the Saar. The plump secret agent—her title “la Belle,” is pretty sarcastic, and she is more widely known in her neighborhood as “fat Sophie”— by no means is the first to be captured by the French counter-spy system in that region. In all, it is stated, there have been 400 arrests on accusations involving espionage. The territory is ripe for spying. All along the eastern border of Lorraine, as well as Alsace, the French are completing a massive line of fortifications. This gives employment to hundreds of laborers and scores of minor executives, divisional engineers, supply clerks, electricians, section bosses, all of whom know more or less about the “secrets” of their own sections. Dotted throughout the terrain are barracks, munition stores, warehouses, troops galore. Just over the border lies the Saar basin—the still debatable land. Nobody yet knows whom the Sarre belongs to. The French get the coal from its mines, to be sure, but that may stop next year when the Saar is to vote (if,the League of Nations program goes through) whether to be French or German, or to continue to be governed by a commission of the league. Sophie Drost was no sleek pantherlike Garbo-esque lady of mystery. she and her husband “Jupp” arrived in St. Avoid in 1928. There’s a big “caserne” or barracks there, hence the bar which they acquired in the public square was a likely place for customers. The “Case des Sports” prospered. It prospered too much. A year ago, “Jupp” was invited to leave France. St. Avoid couldn’t shut its eyes to the behavior of the establishment’s pretty barmaids. It was bad for the morals of the soldiery. But Sophie stayed on, shrewd and competent behind her counter,

sizing up her clients skillfully, waiting for her moment . . . and her man. Presently he turned up, in the person of Alphonse Choppe, young work-boss of Bloc No. 1 in the fortifications being built at Coume. Alphonse did two little jobs with Sophie. Both involved plans of the forts where he was working. In each case he won the princely sumos 10,000 francs—s4oo at par. That was all very well, but Sophie needed a machine-rifle, one of the new type, numbered 24. And that was a hard job for a civilian. Hence: Enter Rene Plestan, young cavalryman. It was Plestan who left his dormitory on the night of Oct. 6 to go A. W. O. L. for the evening, as he told his mates. Somehow he got hold of a machine-rifle, hid it under his overcoat, slipped it through the bars of the fence which surrounds the barracks. Nabbed by Secret Agents Then he jumped the wall himself, met Sophie, changed into civilians. Together the two piled the gun into a taxicab and headed for Saarebruck. The French counter-spy service functioned smoothly. They let the plotters slip through to Saarebruck and reach the house of Jupp. Next day, they arrested Plestan, and later Sophie. Meanwhile, in some way yet undivulged, they got the rifle back from the Saar, bringing evidence against Jupp and another man. Confessions by Choppe and Plestan completed the job. Sophie, of course, won’t share the fate of Mata Hari. There's nothing so tragic about her case, since she was caught in peacetime when courts-martial don’t sentence to be shot at sunrise for such offenses. The capture of “la Belle Sophie” Drost and her unhappy swains sheds a blinding searchlight on the vast importance, militarily speaking, of France’s new chain of fortifications extending from the Mediterranean near Nice right around the edge of France to the North Sea. In the last century General Sere de Riviere continued the historic line. Forts in Six Sections When war broke out in 1914. It was found that Sere de Riviere’s works were inadequate. Built in fourteen years between 1873 and 1887, they already were antiquated when the German invasion started.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Scene? on World war battlefields? No, these are pictures taken in the France of today. The barbed-wire entanglements, below, form anew “No Man's Land” on the border of the Saar, to keep unwanted “visitors” away from the region where new fortifications are being erected. Above you see an unfinished machine gun emplacement in the same district.

Now the whole job is being done over again. The total ring of 'forts is divided into six big general sections, according to the nature of the landscape in which they are being built. These sections are: The Alpine region, beginning near Nice; the Jura region, confronting Switzerland: the Vosges; Alsace: Lorraine, and the northern front, extending to the North sea. There was a fight in the defense committee over what type of fortification generally should be adopted. One party held for a continuous “Chinese Wall” of defense, constructed with the heaviest of reinforced concrete, from sea to sea. Another group demanded lighter “pill-box” and machine gun nest construction. The decision, according to former Minister of War Magniot, is a combination of both ideas. There are six important permanent works in the region of Metz, which the French believe to be so heavily armor-plated as to be invulnerable. This organization of big forts is dotted with roofed machinegun posts, cleverly camouflaged, and with emplacements for fixed guns bigger than field artillery but not on a scale of real “heavy” artillery. The work permits the whole terrain in front to be sprinkled thick with fire. Connecting this complex of defense is an intricate rabbit-warren of subterranean communication. Passages underground link the principal posts. Telephone and telegraph lines reach everywhere. Roads tie the whole machine together, and. where possible, railroad communication also is ready for war use. Parks for mobile weapons and troops are arranged as bases for rushing material and men to any contested point. The work has proceeded to the point at which former Premier Deladier, coming away from a tour of inspection, could utter a Spartan epigram. “The shield is in place,” he said.

ASSERTS RATTLESNAKE WILL TAKE OFFENSIVE Ranger Relates Experience Opposed to Opposite Theory. By United Preee PORTERVILLE. Cal., Nov. 3. The old saying that a rattlesnake strikes only in self-defense and would rather run than fight, is just so much twaddle, in the opinion of C. A. Mullen, state ranger. He came across a rattler on a trail near here. Keeping one eye on it, he walked by. The snake crawled after him, coiled, and struck, he said. The ranger continued to walk. The snake followed him, coiled again, and struck a second time. This was repeated several times, he said. He then seized a rock and killed the reptile. It had twelve rattles and a button.

New and Better Way to Beat Body Odor in This Hard Water

Laboratory tests now show that ordinary soap, with its thick, sluggish lather, will cleanse only the surface of the skin. But body odor is deepseated, caused by stale perspiration curds. Ordinary soap can’t remove these curds in this hard water. That’s why deep-pore cleansing is needed—and it is a scientific fact that there is only one way to accomplish this. Kirk's Coco Castile, being a pure vegetable oil soap, mixes with the particles of perspiration curds, loosens them, then rinses out completely—even in the hardest water. Thus it ends body odor in the only effective way— by removing the cause. Kirk’s Coco Castile is stimulating to the skin—leaves no offensive M.S. (medicine smell)—ends body odor the odorless way. A BIG cake, half again than the average toilet soap, it is today selling at the lowest price in history. Be sure to ask for Kirk’s Castile by name—at your grocer’s.

—Dietz on Science— CHANCE FORCED OUT IN THEORY OF DETERMINIST Viewpoint Contrasted With Modern Conception of Improbability. BY DAVID DIETZ Scripps-Howard Science Editor We must follow Sir Arthur Eddington through a rather intricate line of reasoning if we wish to know why he claims that determinism, for 209 years the fundamental philosophy of science, is no longer valid. We shall, however, find it worth doing. Sir Arthur begins by telling us how the new philosophy of physical science originated. "We observe certain regularities in the course of nature and formulate these as laws of nature,” he says. He asks us to consider two regularities which occur in our experience: (a) We never come across equilateral triangles whose angles are unequal. (b) We never come across thirteen trumps in our hand at bridge. “In our ordinary outlook we explain these regularities in fundamentally different ways,” he continues. “We say that the first occurs because the contrary experience Is impossible; the second occurs because the contrary’experience is too Improbable. Theory Controls “This distinction is entirely theoretical; there is nothing in the observations themselves to suggest which type a particular regularity belongs to. The new view' of science, Eddington tells us, chooses to regard all irregularities as of type (b) in our foregoing example. “Impossible” is ruled out of the game. We have left only “too improbable.” Speaking of the equality of the angles of an equilateral triangle, he says: “Our measurements regularly confirm it to within the highest accuracy attainable and no doubt w'ill always do so; but, according to modern theory, that is because a failure could only occur as the result of an exceedingly improbable coincidence in the behavior of the vast number of particles concerned in any experimental measurement.” The older view, he continues, recognized two kinds of law. That signified by type (a) he calls primary law. That signified by type (b) he calls secondary law. And he adds, “the recognition of secondary law was the thin edge, of the wedge that ultimately cleft the deterministic scheme.” Either Law Strict “For practical purposes primary and secondary law exert equally strict control,” he continues. “The improbability referred to in secondary law is so enormous that failure even in an isolated case is not to be seriously contemplated. You w'ould be utterly astounded if heat flowed from you to the fire so that you got chilled by standing in front of it, although such an occurrence is judged by physical theory to be not impossible but improbable.” The determinist, Eddington says, can not be satisfied with a law which says that the chances are that standing in front of a fire will warm you. Ruling Luck Out “He admits that that is the probable effect,” Eddington continues, ‘but adds that somewhere at the base of physics there are other laws which prescribe just what the fire will do, luck or no luck.” Determinists, Eddington said, watched the growth of secondary laws without alarm. They were laws w'hich state what might happen, but in the final analysis were overridden by the primary laws which told what must happen. “The growth of secondary law within the deterministic scheme was remarkable,” he says, “and gradually sections of the subject formerly dealt with by primary laws were transferred to it. There came a, time when in some of the most progressive branches of physics secondary law was used exclusively. The physicist might continue to profess allegiance to primary law, but he ceased to utilize it. “Primary law was the gold to be kept stored in vaults; secondary law was the paper to be used for actual transactions. No one minded; it was taken for granted that the paper was backed by gold. At last came the crisis and physics went off the gold standard.” WATER SLNKS SLOWLY Three Months Required for Rain to Penetrate Arizona Soil. By United Press TUCSON. Ariz., Nov. 3. Rain water in this region requires three months to penetrate five feet of soil, according to Carnegie desert laboratory scientists. Despite the hot summer sun, the water slowly penetrates through the ground at a monthly rate of 1% feet, said Dr. Forrest Shreve.

FOR SALE “Treasures of Carniola’* Contains 20,000 Metal Pieces, j JM Science Seri ire LONDON, Nov. 3.—The “treas* ures of Carniola,” a great collection of 20,000 bronze and iron objects belonging to the early Iron Age of Europe, have been shipped acros3 the sea to be sold in New York. The collection was amassed chiefly by excavating numerous tombs in the province of Carniola, Austria. The late Duchess Friedrich Paul of Mecklenberg sponsored this work for ten years, by a special license from the Emperor of Austria. The collection was her property. The early Iron Age in central and western Europe is scientifically known as the Hallstatt culture, because it is identified with Hallstatt, Austria, where a cemetery of the age first came to light. The age lasted from about 900 to 500 B. C. and was notable because iron then came into use in commercial quantities. The graves of the people contain such things as swords and helmets, pins and other ornaments, glassware, household utensils and farming implements.
