AMERICA MUST MAKE
HER OWN BASKETS NOW

Washington, D. C.-War conditions
have forced America to depend almost
exclusively on her ow~n-resources for a
supply of baskets. 1t IS revealed in a
of an Investigation of the indus
try made public tonight by the tariff
commission.

Germany was the largest maker of. the
commodity for the American tradt.
Then Japan, which had taken up the
task after tho blockade Of tho German
coast, was compelled to relinQWsh a
large eXport<trade In baskets to this
country because of an increase In ocean
freight rates from So to $40 per ton.
In this country, says che commits

Increased cost of material md higher
wages have resulted in q rise in price
of the finished article from 100 to 200
per cent. Al q result, many of the large
commercial consumers are turning to
substitute containers made OF papier

Willow and rattan basket making
in this country is chiefly a household

wood veneer baskets is carried on In

FIND NEW MAMMOTH
CAVE I'M CALIFORNIA

Viscilia, Cal.-Hidden deep in the re-
cesses Of a hitherto practically unex-
plored section of the Marble Fork of
h Kewah river, almost within a
stones throw of the Black Oak trail
and within eight miles of the famous
General Sherman big tree, In Giant
Forest, is said to lie one of the most
wonderful subterraaean caverns known
to the mountains Of California. The
cave was discovered only last week by
a party Of fishermen exploring the up
per reaches of the stream and these
men, pioneers of the region, declare the
newly discovered Sequoia national
park wonder to be the largest of the
several big caves in the park.
Enthusiastic accounts of the caves
interior are brought in by the noun
taineers who yentured as far into its
recesses as possible without light,
Strangely, they declare, the air within
appears fresh without the usual foul
odor emanating from other such caves
and this fact, they believe. is due to
h stream Of pure, snow water which
flows through the cav and across a
bed OF solid marble Of varied hues and
which evidently enters from another
opening to the cave beyond.
The accounts recite at least a dozen
large rooms within the cavern, one Of
sufficient size for q modern ball room
ScltllS, anu All covered WITH q @IlN6
white sand. Beautiful stalactItes are
in great number and of every color in
one instance, they declare, forming an
arch like canopy not unlike a great
throne room. The fishermen did not
venture further into the cavern thai
600 feet as they had no lights and
bones found there indicated that he
a v had been the lair of the wild
animals which are in the Sequel park.
Government agents will investigate
h new discovery at once, it is said,
and a new trail will be built from Giant
forest directly to it, probably cutting
the eight mile distance in half. Other
improvements said to be in contempla-
ton, if the cave proves as stated, in
clude electric lights and a big dance
floor for Giant forest campers through
out the summer season.

The cycIops Mystery.

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
Few mysteries of the sea have been so
ineXplicable as the loss of the collier
Cyclops. All the West Indian waters have
been diligently secured for some trace OF
her. but none has been found. Now the
passengers on @ ship which has Just ar
rived from Rio tell a strange tale which
may have some bearing on her fate. One
of the passengers on the Cyclops was the
American consul general at the Brazilian
capital. Two weeks before she was re-
ported as missing an advertisement in
Portuguese appeared in a Rio newspaper
stating that mass would be said in a GER
tain church for Mr.. Gottschalk. the dis
%tlnguished North American consul" At
that time, of course, none OF his friends
knew he was dead. The pastor of the
church denied that any arrangements had
been made for a mass. Whence, then,
came this ominous hint? What was tho
purpose of such an announcement? Some
one must have had knowledge that the
ship had been sunk, or foreknowledge
that she would be.
There are two obvious explanations for
the appearance of the advertisement. One
is that it was a disguised assertion that
the Cyclops had been sunk by a German
submarine. The other is that it was g
message to some German agent or agents
engaged in the plot. The difficulty in
accepting either is that no trace of the
missing vessel has yet been found. Ships
have been "spurlos versenkt" before, to
be sure; but 1t seems Incredible that a
ship Of the character Of the Cyclops could
go down In waters SO near our own
shores without even a wireless call or a
piece OF wreckage to reveal her fate. II
there is really a German submarine l,rk-
ing in the Caribbean or somewhere off
the Bahamas, 1t may be one Of those with
the wide cruising radius which have been
built recently. The story from Rio is per-
picking, but it is too circumstantial to
be wholly disregarded. If the navy could
have first help from some genius of detec-
tive fiction tie mystery might be solved.
In any event, there are likely to be re-
newed efforts to solve it.

Whence did this offer come, if

"Yes," he thought, "that is

and a prominent figure in the
case, | am the enemy, and they
are trying to do away with me
as they did with the others. And
it is Florence who is acting
against me. And it is she who
has committed murder.

He started with terror at the
memory of Dolores Kesselbach.
What was it that made him con-
meet these two women at every
moment in his mind? He had
loved one Of them, that monster
Dolores, and had strangled her
with his own hands. Was fate
now leading him toward a like
love and a similar murder?
When Florence left him he
would experience a sense of salts
faction and breathe more easily,
as though released from an OPP
pressive weight, but he would run
to the window and see her cross
ing the courtyard and be still
waiting whsn the girl whose
scented breath he had felt upon
his face passed to and fro.
One morning she said to him:
"The papers say that it will be

"Tonight9"

an article in one of the newspa-
pers. "This is the 25th; and, ac
cording to the information Of the
police, they say, by you, there
should be a letter delivered in the
house on the Boulevard Suchet
every 10th day, and the house is
to be destroyed by an explosion
on the day when the fifth and
last letter appears"
Was she defying him? Did she
wish to make him understand that
whatever happened, whatever the
obstacles, the letters would ap-
pear, those mysterious letters
p%rophcsied on the list which he
had found in the eighth volume Of
Shakespeare's plays2
He looked at her steadily. She
did not finch. He answered:

Four Out of Each Five Pass
Rigid National Army Test

Never in all history has an army
been organized and handled as the
National army of the United States"
writes Henry Rood in the Century.
For instance, one of the ablest
British officers told me. after a con-
siderable sojourn at one of the can
tonments, that nothing approaching
1t for thorough organization, hous-
ing, ETC., is known at any of the
great cantonments of the British ar
my. Certain it is that our men gen.
orally are better cared for than any
others recorded in military annals.
And the raw material gathered in
the cantonments, the men them
selves selected for the National ar
my, effectually disprove the fears
some profess to have held that as a
type American manhood had dete-
rlorated during the last generation
or so.
Provost Marshal General Crowd
er is authority for the statement
that of all the men called to the
colors last summer by registration
and draft, only 20 per cent were re-
jecteo for physical disability. and a
considerable proportion were refus-
ed admittance to the National Army
because of minor disability, such as
weakened arches or some slight Wis
ual or dental defect. to which little
attention is paid in civil life, but
which units man for the terrific
strain of modern warfare. Let it
be remembered that, counting en-
clusions from such causes. four men
out of every five of the six hundred
or seven hundred thousand called
to the National Army came up to
rigid physical requirements, and
were permitted to wear khaki"

Two-Year-Old Who Reads
Is Martha Springer

San Francisco, Cal.-A tiny two
year-old baby girl here holds the
worlds record in mental develop
ment.
The infant prodigy is Martha
Springer, 26 minths old, daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. John e. Springer. of
Mountain View.
The child can read like an eight
year-old. The father says the child
has a normal mind which simply
k1a been developed by persistent
~aining.
Vt a recent meeting of college
professors arAl experts in pedagogy
Hnd psychology the child for 40 min
utes read, counted and told the time
b ythe clock and talked with the
men who were observing her. Her
baby's brain did no sag and she
appeared to enjoy the long inter
view
All were unanimous in declaring
that the haby's case indicates that
ceniuses are made, not born. The
child reads and speaks with a Vocab-
ulary of aboua 1000 words. She is
largo for her age and eats and
sleeps well.
