SUPERSTITIOUS TALE
 ABOUT DEAD BANDIT FOOLS MEXICAN INDIANS

CUAUTLA, Mexico-Legends al ready are beginning to spring up among the superstitious and ignor- ant Indians of this state regarding Emiliano Zapata, the rebel chief who met death near here on Apr, 10. In an attempt to preserve the bandits body as long as possible in order to give the greatest number of his former followers chance to see it, it vas packed in zee, in the absence of embalming fluids. The ice burst the sides and top of the flimsy coffin and gave rise to su- perstitious tales that the "Attila of the South," as Zapata was called, was not really dead, but had burst his coffin and escaped.

OLOIMERS ARE 0N WAY ID NtW
 GOLD DISTRICT

A party of oldtimers, composed of Tom Blaylock, Charles McGoni- gal, Al Copeland and J. F. Zimmer- man were in Nenana yesterday, en- route to the Kantishna country to put in season of prospecting. They have three pack horses with them, and took on a considerable cargo Of supplies here. They are making the trip in the McGonigal power scow, which recently landed the Aitken outfit in the Kantishna, and left Nenana for the destination at an early hour this morning.
 Blaylock and Copeland will dis embark on the upper reaches of the kantishna river, from which point they will transport their out fit over the hills to the Mckinley region, where they will do their pIOSpSCtLIg
 Zimmerman will quit the boat at a point lower down the river, it being his intention to put in the summer in the Kantishna country proper-in the ''old diggings," as he expresses it. He has pacl. horse and supplies sufficient to last four months, and at the end of that time he will come back for new outfit or abandon the search for gold in that region. ~"
 The region which will be invaded by Copeland and Blaylock is little known, although it is regarded fayorably by numerous oldtimers who have been in that part of Alaska. The district, as described by Copeland, lies between Mt. Me kinley and the headwaters of the Kuskokwim, and is a large and in hospitable territory, but one which is regarded as full of promise by Copeland and his companion

HOME OF FAMOUS
 AUTHOR REOPENED
 AS AUTHORS CENTER

PARIS.-The home of the fam ous French author, Honore de Bal zac, in the Rue Raynouard at Passy, was reopened recently as an artists center. The house, which is sur rounded by an old-world garden, had been sadly neglected, but has now been restored to present the appearance it had in Balzac's time. with its vestibule painted blue and the original oak carvings and dark red tapestries decorating the apart ment where Balzac wrote his mas terpieces.
 On the table stands the big china coffee-pot from which the author was wont to refresh himself, for Balzac was a mighty drinker of coffee. Old woodcuts and origina printing proofs adorn the walls. T. the garden the vine that Balzac tended still grows, and his beloved lilacs havf been replanted there.
 In one room there is still tn trapdoor through which Balzac used to disappear when importunate creditors called.

mandeer the output of practically every factory.
 Interesting statistics are given of economics effected by change in design. For instance, elimination of lacings and eyelets in trousers saved S17, 100000, and redesigning of the coat cut the cost of these garments S5,000,000. Expert cutting reduced the consumption of cloth 23-100 of yard and saved 2,3OO,000 yards on the total order. Cotton textiles pro- duced for the army would furnish strip feet wide and of sufficient length to wrap IS layers around the equator.
 Innovations resulting from short ages in material included the su1- stitution Of American dyes for the German product and the use of vegetable ivory" in button making.
 The activities of the quartermaster corps (afterwards taken over largely by the bureau of purchase, storage and supply), included also the fur nishing of hats, shoes, boots, fuel, oil, paints, tools, harness and harness equipment and even music. Prom inent composers volunteered for the work of selecting a balanced ra- tion' of jazz and more restrained orchestrations for the army bands.
 To give the American aviator the surest fuel possible the department took over every drop of "257 degree fighting naptha' and confined it's use to the service planes actually on the front.
 Conservation of shipping space re- suited in the revolutionizing of pack ing methods. Clothing was com pressed into bales, shoes shipped in bags and trucks were dissembled and crated. The New York baling plant. according to the report, saved the government s55,000,00 in tonnage expenditures.
