PREDICTS USE OF SUMS HEAT.
British Scientists President Says
Engineers Will Utilize Rays.

The seventy-ninth annual meeting
of the British Association for the Ad-
vancement of Science opened in Winni-
peg. The annual address of the presi-
of interest. Referring to the almost
unparalleled activity in many branches
of physics, the speaker said he had
not the slightest doubt that engineers
would ultimately succeed in utilizing
the heat of the sun directly for power,
and when coal is exhausted and our
water power inadequate" he declared,
''it may be that this is the source from
which we shall derive the energy nee
essary for the worlds work"

ROBIN HOOD NOT A MYTH.
Sherwood Forest Hero Had Court
Place Under Edward II.

From the London GLOBE.
Many famous men have their names
linked with Sherwood-King John. the
three Edwards, Richard III, Cardinal
Wolsey and Charles but the hero of
the place, the genius loci" Is Robin
Hood.
Some think that the famous outlaw of
the ballads was a myth, a mere poetic
conception and a creature of the popular
mind, but Mr.. Hunter, in his research
into the person and period of Robin
Hood, holds that he was born between
1885 and 1925, living through the reign
pe the second Edward and into the early
of some station seated near Wakefield
and supported the Earl Of Lancaster in
his rebellion against the government.
When the earl fell and his followers
were prescribed Robin Hood took to the
woods and supported himself by Staying
the wild animals found in the forest and
by laying a species of blackmail on pas
sengers along the great road which
united London and Berwick. This con-
tinued for about twenty months. from
April, 1922, to December, 1923. when he
fell into the kings power. who. for some
unknown reason. not only pardoned him,
but gave him place at court. Anyhow.
a man Of the name Of Robyn Hode was
a 'vadiet'' of the king in 1924.
DR.. Spencer T. Hall says that Robyn
was created Earl of Huntington by a
London ballad writer hard up for a
word to rhyme to Little John. Be CHS
as it may. Robin Hood will always be
the hero of romance, and those who
love romance will refuse to believe that
he never existed.

Doughnuts or CrulIersp

From the New York World.
Once more the dispute arises in print

local. If you eat the real thing in New

rick and other authorities accept the i'm
portance of the deep dish for frying
doughnuts. 1t does not seem to matter
for the other things. Doughnuts. ac-
cording to the white House Cook Book, :"

Consulting the consolidated Library of
Modern Cooking" we find that for dough-
nuts the dough should be rolled out in
rings Or small balls, while for cruilers
the rule is to "cut in squares, cut Sits
with tagging iron and braid together"
Our grandmothers made raised dough-
nuts. which we seldom see. Sometimes
they put in allspice. which is, like mo-
lasses in baked beans, a matter Of taste
The doughnuts mother made in Boston
or Kennebunk, fried Saturday, were good
which they usually did not Bakers
crullers in New York must be fresh every
morning Real doughnuts are good with
cheese or maple strip. Nobody who has
eaten them considers it dignf1ed to take
crullers seriously.

he is having no trouble in renting out

over their last dollar for the privilege OF

men and women who are reported to nave

that the past year has been especially

plans to get rich In twenty minutes. These

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

The tendency Of the securities at the
meeting today Of the Stock Exchange
was upward, but in rather conservative
fashion and apparently having but little
effect on the transactions; at least. as
far as volume was concerned The trad
ing was not heavy, in spite Of the bet
ter figures, which showed a desire to
buy and the presence of buyers. 1t was
evident the difference in opinion between
the owners Of securities and prospective
buyers was the cause of the slight bust
ness, not the usual cause, the absence
Of buyers.
The bid for Capital Traction went to
1872. which is high level in recent days.
while for the preferred stock Of the
Washington Railway and Electric Com
pany the bid went to Sc. where 1t stayed.
and the asking price was half a point
In advance.
Mergenthaler also went up. so that
2OSas was paid for the stock. In the
opinion of some interested in this Sc
curity the course Of the stock toward
high levels Is due to the showing made
of the affairs of the company in the an
nual report, which has just come out
and which In their opinion justifes re-
turn of the stock to the old-time situa-
ton. when it figured in the neighbor-
hood Of $50.
Gas stock to the extent of 100 shares
appeared in the transactions today, and
the uniform price paid for the four
twenty-five share lots was 7O1s.
