I'HILADELPHIA, (UP)—Once the pride of the United States fleet, 160 old warships lie rotting at the naval 1 • c here, some with decks but a few f' t above the waters of the Delaware river. I-'or nearly a mile, rows of destroyer , "uhmartnes, patrol ships, sub* chasers, eagle boats, calmly await their fate. C'ndrmdcd because of old age, the shi' their steel sides streaked with ru d and sealing paint, show little r 'iM'-irison with the modernized fleet. ' behind each lies some tale of he- . .i" duty while in service. destroyers form the majority of t he fleet. Some may see service ; '.-ain. but most of them will be rapped under provisions of the Vini ■ n hill. (Vo have outstanding records. The

Hagley, christened after a relation of President Woodrow Wilson, had continual encounters with German U-boats. Another, the Cassin, saved part of the destroyer base off Queenstown, Ireland, by sinking a German submarine. An old former flagship of the nineties, the Olympia, lies next to the destroyers. Her wooden interior, moldy and rotten, is a direct contrast to the new steel ships. The oddities»f the fleet are n group of Eagle boats and the Monitor type warship, Cheyenne, which appears to be squatted atop the water. Built several year after the Span-ish-American war, the Cheyenne had little active service in the World war except as a patrol boat in the north Atlantic.

PROBE Si VIE PENAL SYSTEM INDIANAPOLIS, July 0, (UP)— An investigation of Indiana’s much criticiszed prison and parole system which is expected to result in far reaching changes in the entire penal set-up was opened today by a group of nationally known criminal experts. Gov. Paul V’. McNutt ur^ed the group to make “a complete study of the penal and correctional programs in Indiana an) to submit whatever recommendations are deemed necessary.” The commission is headed by Dr. F. L. Bixby, Washington, D- C., assistant director of l . S- bureau of prisons, and. Burdette I>ewi8, direoor of the American public welfare association Lewis was named chairman. The Indiana penal system has been a tacked bitterly since 10 long term convicts escaped from the state prison at Michigan City and John Dillinger obtained a parole from the same ins itution. Following his parole, Dillinger resumed a criminal career which earned him the title of the nation’public enemy; No. 1. most d \ngerous convicts TO BE TRANSFERRED JFLY 20 SAN FRANCISCO, (UP)—Alcatraz island, a penitentiary in San Francisco bay from which it is said there is no possible esca|>c, will he taken over July 20 by the department of justice. The most desperate of this country’s criminals will 1m* imprisoned there. Formerly <1 military prison, this 12 acre, of jutting rook surrounded by swiftly flowing currents is expected to lie used for incarceration of Harvey Bailey, George (Machine Gun) Kelly, Albert Bates, and other desperadoes, who now are in the federal prisons. On June 19. seven officers at the federal ixnitentiary annex in Leavenworth h 1 for San Francisco where they began preparation for the transfer. Aleati a:* islanl, despite its 18th century appearance, is equipped as one of the most modern of prisons. Popular li'-lief had it at the time the government announced it would use the island that Alcatraz would be a “Devil’s island." In the ensc that Alcatraz isolates its prisoners in much the same manner as the French penal colony in the ( arihtie.in, this belief is true. But the similarity stops at that point. Department of justice officials say Alcatraz is sanitary and healthful; the original Devil's Island is believed to he the opposite. Alcatraz has mild weather the year round; the French prison has tropical heat and rafns throughout the year. Few persons outside of prisoners end officials ever have set foot on Alcatraz. San (Franciscans know it is a prison that from the shore looks like a medieval fortress. Swift currents sweep around the rocky island, a mile and a half from the' mainland. Spaniards, first to use the Golden Gate, had a fortress on Alcatraz. Prisoners working around the island continually dig up old gun placements and the rock is said to lie honeycombed with tunnels. The island, up to now, has been principally us A d as a disciplinary barracks for erring soldiers of the Pacific division. Out of some 12,000 federal ^ prisoners in government institutions and 6,000 U-ing board*! in .' tale institutions, only the wiorst will be sent to Aloraz, it is understood.

HELIUM GAS SOLE INDUSTRY OF TINY KANSAS TOWN DEXTER, Kan., (UP)—This community of 500 persons has lost its most important industry with the closing of the helium gas fields here. The Dexter field is one of the three in the world, the other two being located at Thatcher, Colo., and Amarillo, Tex. After the federal government withdrew its contracts for the gas, production was curtailed to such an extent that it necessitated closing 'be plant here. The gas first was discovered in 1903. Two drillers struck a large flow of gas at a depth of 380 feet. The pressure was so great that the roar of the escaping “fuel” was heard for several miles. The town planned a monster celebration an! the whole countryside was invited. It was decided to uncork a pipe and ignite the escaping gas. This was to he allowed to hum all day and night while the townsmen celebrated. The big day arrived. Flowery speeches were delivered and a torch was applied to the escaping gas. It was promptly blown out. Succeeding torches met the same fate. The gas refused to burn and the celebration ceased. Dexter soon forgot about its gas fields. Later samples of the gas were sent to the University of Kansas chemistry 'department. It was found that the gas contained helium—an clement whose value was not understood at that time. When the World war came the product immediately became a demand for use in dirigibles. Helium is light and non-inflammable. After the war the industry lapsed into a period of stagnation. In 1927, however, the government again became interested in the Dexter field and awarded a contract for the extraction of the helium to the Kentucky Oxygen and Hydrogen company, which built a large plant here. Control later passed to the Goodyear company.

PUTNAM MEN GOING TO WEST COAST TO HUNT

Grceiira»tle Crowd Is, Expecting Great 'Ikings From Country of Dr. Moser Dr. W. M. Moser of Grants Pass, Oregon, home of the *big fi-h tales and a former resident of Putnam county, is looking forward to the coming to his country of some of his old cronies. He has written a letter to O. G. Wehh, whom he calls “Big game hunter, politician, etc., etc., etc.,” in which In* says in “part”: “I had a letter from Louis Alvah (think he has dropped the “h” since he became sheriff) iBryan informing me that you, Ford Lucas, Howard D uny and himself were coming out to the west coast this fall hunting, fishing, etc. Now PR escort you hunting and fishing but further than that—well I’ll turn you over to the

squaws.

“A friend of mine by the name of Tom Linkhart, whj by the way is an Ii 'liana man, has four nice bucks taked out for you fellows. I advise that each of you bring a piece of rubber sheeting—it may rain like fury and it would lie embarrassing to have to buy a new outfit. “I am getting the camping outfit ready for a big trip. We will not pay any attention to the black tail deer, but head for the mule tail deer ‘ -untry and stay until you get your lin.it. Am arranging so we can cure the hams for you to bring home. Dr. < . J. will take rare of the fishing end oi the trip. He has a fellow that knows how to smoka the steelhead fish so they will keep for weeks. Boy but they are good eating when properly fixed. October is the best month lor steelhead fishing. The hunting season usually opens Sept. 15 and closes Oct. 20. I don’t believe I would start before the first to ninth of September. H will take you five to ten days to make the trip, depending on how many stopovers you make. It is 2,7()fl miles. Maurice drove back last week in a little over four days and had some generator trouble. -Anyway get here about the 10th or 15th. I want to spend the first week showing [ you southern Oregon. The first trip | I have planned is to the ocean at! Crescent rity. On the return we will visit the Oregon caves and also the redwoods. Then to Crater lake, one of the wonders of the world. I’ll not! try to describe it to you. Then per ! b ins a fishing trip. Then I think we will go down on Deer creek some | night just to see the deer feeding in ! Hu* fields. Then we will head for! eastern Oregon and the mule Ueer.”| James A. Rightsell of Washington township left Thursday for Clam Lake, Mis., where he will spend the

summer.
