Figuring Weight Of Ice.

A very close estimate Of the weight
of any block Of ice may be ascertained
by applying the following method:
The volume OF the ice in cubic inches
is obtained by multiplying together the
three dimensions. Dividing the prod
net by 30 gives the weight of the ice
in pounds. For instance, II the block
Is 10 by 10 by II inches, its volume
is 1900 cubic inches; dividing this
product by 80 gives 40 pounds as the
correct weight Of the Popular
Science Monthly.

RUTHLAW DENIES STORY THAT SHE
 IS GERMAN SPY

Washington, June S-Miss Ruth Law, the aviatrix, who is in Washing ton arranging for a license to make further flights in behalf of the Red Cross, talked tonight about reports that have had 8 wide circulation that she was a German spy.
 This story started in Birmingham. Ala, shortly after I had been there last October giving exhibition flights" said Miss Law. q was in New Or leans when I got word from friends that it was reported in Birmingham that I had been arrested in Atlanta as spy. The story has gone all over the country. Everywhere I have ap- peared it has been circulated. Only recently an official organization in In- diana wrote me that a school teach. CT had said that I was a German spy Part of the story as it is usually told is that I am a man disguised as a woman. I thought for 8 while that thess> reports were German propa~ ganda, but I came to the conclusion that it would not help the German cause to circulate such stories about me-"
 Recently it was reported in the East that Miss Law had disappeared, the inference being that she had been ar rested. At that time she was giving exhibitions flights at Danville. and other places in Illinois.
 Miss Law said that she was born in Lynn, Mass, and that her people had been in the United States for four or five generations. They came to Amer ica from England, she said.

Theodore Hadjes Found Suffering From Unusual
 Contagious Disease. NOW HELD AT THE
 ISOLATION HOSPITAL State Board of Health Con- firms Diagnosis-Came
 Here From Stamford.

Theodore Hadjes, a Greek, Al years of age was taken out of one of the West End factories today suffering from leprosy. The case was discovered through a report made to the Board of Health by Dr. H. A. Neuman, 1885 Fairfield avenue. The matter was taken up by Dr. Walter H. Brown who brought the matter to the notice of the State Board of Health and con- lfirmed the diagnosis today.
 According to the information gath cred in the case by the medical auth critics Hadjes has been in Bridgeport for about five years and resided on Warren street. Before coming to this city he worked for the Yale & Towne Co.,, Stamford. Whether he was suffering from the loathsome dis ease when he came to this country or not has not been determined up to the present by the health officers.
 While the authorities are making preparations to move him to one of the leper colonies, Hadjes is being held at the Isolation Hospital, and the chances are he will be sent to Black wells Island, New York, where a col ony is located.
 
 Health and the Isolation Hospital are very reticent about the case. but it is hinted that Hadjes contracted the dis ease through mixing with Orientals and a most rigid search is being made floor any other cases which might be either in this section or any part of the state.
 Leprosy has been encountered ill this section of the country only ir isolated cases, but on the Pacific Coast cases are being met with ire quently on account of the large Orien. tai population. The dread disease which is probably the most terrible and loathsome in the entire gamut o1 evils the flesh is heir to, is being rapidly stamped out through the thorough isolation of the afflicted anG the regulating of the diet of nations It has frequently been asserted by the leaders of the medical profession thai lleprosy is the result of eating raw or decomposed fish. For quite a while it was very prevalent in the Hawaiian Islands.
 United States army doctors started a campaign to educate the natives 1T the matter of diet and as a conse quence the plague has abated to al most negligible point in that sec ton.
 The appearance of a leper in thi: section is alarming to the authorities as they are not sure whether there are other cases or not and for tha reason a most rigid investigation ii l about to be started to find out wh! ; Hadjes was able to live in this cit! for five years if he was suffering iron E the disease before he came here. l l he contracted the disease since coming , to Bridgeport the authorities want t find out how he contracted it and to | ward that end they are investigatin, , all of his associates.

 ON AMERICANS
Mistreatment by Germany of Prisoners Will Bring
 Swift Reprisal.

Washington, June S-Mistreatment by Germany of American prisoners will bring swift retaliation from the United States. This was made clear in the answer of the state depart ment, published today, to the note of Germany. transmitted throughw the Swiss emebassy, offering to exchange Siegfried Paul London, German born naturalied American citien now serving sentence in Germany, for act ing as Russian spy, for Franz von Rintelen. imprisoned in this country in connection with bomb plots.
 The German note intinlating that should the offer of exchange be re- jected by the United States mistreat- ment of Americans in Germany might follow, brought a statement from Secretary Lansing that Ger many's action would be met prompt iy. In connection with the publica- tion of the German note and~> the American reply, a statement issued by the war department shows that there are at present 133 American soldiers in Germany's prison camps and 216 American civilians interned | there, in comparison with approxi- mately 5000 Germans interned in this country, including 1910 prisoners of war.
 Secretary Lansing, in his communi- cation to the German government, however, made it plain that the Uni ted States does not recognize repri- sals of physical suffering, but on plain aggravation by Germany it might be brought to adopt such measures.

New York, June w. T. Harding, four broker, with offices in the Pro- duce Exchange building, has been permitted by the Federal Food Board to contribute $3,o00 to the American Red Cross in lieu of a suspension of his license for 30 days. The recom- mendation, which was approved yes- terday by United States Food Ad- ministrator Herbert Hoover, follow ed an investigation as to the business affairs of several brokers having of- fees in the Produce Exchange build ing.
 When the Harding case was called before the Federal Food Board he was referred to as a dealer who ap- peared to pay no attention at all to the regulations of the United States Food Administration" A recom- mendation that his license be sus- pended for 30 days was forwarded to Washington by the local food off l cials, but this was cancelled when the broker pleaded that he be per mitted to make contribution to the | Red Cross.
 The Food Boards statement, re- viewing the Harding case, found him | guilty as a jobber of having sold sub- stantial quantities of flour to other | jobbers in violation of the rule which | forbids resales within the trade; o1 having sold substantial quantities ot flour without substitutes and with in sufficient substitutes, of having solo

made by the French last night in the region between the Marne and the Orcq, northwest of Chateau Thierry, the war office announced today. In this sector French troops have pushed their way through Chezy to its eastern outskirts and have reach ed the western edege of Dammard village.
 In the district south of Veilly la Poterie the Germans made two violent attacks along the Bouresches le Thio- let front. The enemey was repulsed with heavy losses in each case. l The statement reads:
 South of the Aisne there was great artillery activity, notably in the region of Favorelles. Southeast of Ambleny the French improved tne1r positions during the night. South of 1 the Ourcq they continued their pres sure and realized new progress.
 ''The French have carried their lines as far as the western outskirts of Dammard and east of Chezy and more than a kilometer north of Veuil- ly la Poterie. They have taken about 0 prisoners.
 | Farther south the Germans made two violent attacks against positions reconquered by the French on the front from Bouresches to Le Thiolet. The French broke these assaults and the enemy suffered heavy losses with out obtaining any advantage. "On the rest of the front the night was comparatively calm'' With the British Army in France, June 8-(By the Associated Press)- Locre Hospice, which the Germans captured on Wednesday night, was retaken by the French yesterday. They battled their way to this much contested position and completely re- established their original line ] The French have thus recovered a more CT less serious threat to the village of Locre, which itself is an important defense for Mont Rouge and other hills lying immediately to the west. The Hospice lies only about 500 yards southeast of Locre and is on rising ground which is but slightly lower than the site of the village.
 The enemy has long coveted Locre and retention of the Hospice would give him good jumping off place for another assault in the long list which he has delivered against the village.
 There were heavy bursts of she'll ing from German guns at various points along the British front last l night, but no unusual operations have been reported
