Sol's Face
Badly Marred

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va, June
20.-The great spot in the center Of
the sun was measured yesterday by
observers at Leander Mccormick OBJ
servatory at the University of Virgin
ia.
The whole area of the disturbances
is roughly circle of $4,000 miles in
diameter according to the observers,
while the great central spot is now
about $4,000 miles long and 500
miles broad at its widest proportion.
This makes If one of the largest sin
gle spots seen in many years.
According to astronomers, spots Of
this size are of rare occurrence. With
the aid of telescopes sixteen other
smaller spots may be seeh in the Same
atea with the large ono. md scatter
ed over the suns surface are FIVE
other groups, with forty-two more
spots. This, astronomers assert,
means that the solar surface is in
very disturbed condition, consider
ing that the time for normal spot
maximum is three years past time.

s. Out of Voted
For Newspaper Ads

ROCHESTER, June 19.-The
Hickey-Freeman company, manufac-
turers of mems clothing, in their
house journal, "The Merchandiser,"
sent out to patrons and clothiers
throughout the United States, re-
norts the result of most interesting
QUESTIONABLE conducted to deter
mine the respective values of bill
board, street car and newspaper ad-
vertising as an aid in selling Hickey
Freeman clothes.
Letters were sent to ninety firms
throughout the country asking them
TO figure out just which method of
publicity brought in results. The
Hickey-Freeman management ad-
mitted that it would be hard to
Gauge accurately the returns from
billboards because people do not
come into stores and say, 81 saw
your clothing advertised on a bill
board on the Atlantic City meadows"
or so on.
But the ninety men canvassed re-
piled as follows:
For neWspapers-58.
Billboards and street car cards-26
Undecided-6.
Many dealers said that the Hickey
Freeman line was too high class to
cheaper by advertising on billboards
and street car cards. Others said the
character of merchandise was good
enough to warrant newspaper pre-
sentation to the public, One man
mentioned that the Associated Refill
ers of St. Louis have tabooed bill
boards entirely.
A very significant comment came
from an Ohio clothier, who said a
large circus that toured his region
had to give up billposted displays
and depended entirely on the news
papers. He declared that the exit of
the perfect venus and lady bareback
rider from the barns of the country
side had made him decide that news
paper advertising must have the best
call, SO Hickey-Freeman will stick
to newspapers.

vision in the army appropriation bill
for maintenance of the army of 400,-
600 officers and men during the next
fiscal year was tentatively agreed on

ure had been worked out on basis
of an average army of 100000 for
the coming fiscal year, while the SEN
ate committee increased this to AGO.

Rush In New York
To Buy Up Liquor

NEW YORK, June 20.-The clubs
of the city are ready to see that no
member thirsts unnecessarily after
July l. Most of them are offering
their liquor stocks for sare, and many
have offered to provide locker room
for wet goods to be stored at owners
risk.
Big wholesale houses are auction
ing their stocks. One firm reports
sales at $25O,O0O in three days.
In addition to auction sales, the
general public is patronizing many
of the large liquor stores which for
the last week have published large
warning" advertisements of only
"few days left' in which to obtain
a supply. The manager of a chain
of grocery stores doing large bust
ness in retail wines and liquors, said
it was only recently that the public
at large realized the seriousness of
the situation.
"For the last week our sales have
doubled, and in some instances treb-
led," he said. ."Owing to the fact
that many of our customers have left
town for the summer, we have been
deluged by mail orders, and have
had to take on additional clerks to
cope with the rush, A single Gus
toner yesterday bought more than
$4,000 worth of champagne and
liquors, while orders averaging be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000 are daily
occurrence"

Blow Delivered
Tobacco Cranks

PITTSBURGH, June 2O.-Plans
for a nationwide anti-tobacco cam
paign intended to follow the actual
PRONUNCIATION Of prohibition were
given a setback here yesterday when
Judge James M. Carpenter handed
down an opinion in common pleas
court refusing to grant a charter to
the No-Tobacco corporation. TIE
petition was signed by prominent
church people and ministers of this
and other cities of the country.
In this opinion Judge Carpenter
said the law creating organizations
with judicial sanction in the form of
granting charters was not intended
to provide for Incorporation Of asso-
Citations for the PRONUNCIATION and
propagation of theories as to effects
and consequences of personal habits
and immoral customs, especially If
not contra bona mores" and con-
corning consequences Of which lay
men of equal intelligence differ rad
ically with doctors.
Judge Carpenter declared the or
ganization was political in its aims
as Its petition stated its object to "se-
cure by law, prohibition of culture,
sale and use Of tobacco"

Everybody Crazy,
Expert Declares

PHILADELPHIA, June 21.-"The
world is filled with nuts the only
difference between 'temperamental'
and insane persons is that one is
treated kindly, while the other is con-
fined to an institution" calmly de-
clared DR.. E. S. Southard, of Boston,
while addressing the American Med
ico-Psycological associate mere.
In DR.. Southard's opinion, every
person is "a little off," but some
cases are more pronounced. Larcenia
is simply the channel through which
surplus emotions flow, he declared.
"Highbrows. cabinet officers, pro-
fessors, presidents, doctors and work
men all have their individual pecu-
liarities, as much forms of insanity
as the disorders which affect inmates
of institutions for the dangerously
nsane," said DR.. Southland.

Pardon For
Negro Convict

NASHVILLE, Tenn, June 90
Coming to the rescue of guards at
the penitentiary during the recent
lot at that institution, Thursday
brought a pard to Deaderick Sur
coins, a negro convicted of murder
in Montgomery county several years
ago. The pardon commends the ne
gro very highly for his action during
the riot and grants him a complete
pardon, unless he agains gets into
trouble.
"The ends of justice and prison
discipline require that unanimous
recommendation of the prison Off
cials and guards and the pardon
board be given says Gov. Roberts in
granting the pardon.
"After a hearing at the prison
the pardon board unanimously rec
ommended that he be given pardon
or his courageous act il saving the
lives of some of the guards in the
prison. He came to the resue of the
guards when an effort was made by
some of the convicts to kill the guards
and break out of prison. In so do
ing Surgeons was dangerously shot
twice, one wound making him Grip
pie for life, His action probably sav-
ed the lives Of several of the guar ds
and prevented a serious prison rio!."

tee that agitation for legislation per-
mitting the continued manufacture

telegram which he said he had receiv-
ed from the American Medical Asso-

Object to British
Control In Mexico

WASHINGTON, June 21.-The
bare suggestion that Great Britain
might be given mandatory power over
Mexico under the league of nations
plan has aroused congress. Members
admitted that it was entirely possible
under the insufficient protection CIV
en- the Monroe doctrine oy the league
covenant as it has been revised, and
pointed to the suggestion that the
United States be the mandate for
Constantinople, Armenia and other
places as parallel to what might
happen.
Information has reached here
through diplomatic channels that a
British mandatory over Mexico in
connection with the league has been
contemplated at least by the presi-
dent, and it was the publication of
this information that stirred up con-
gress.
Many evidences of it were visible
last Wednesday, eliminating in Rep
resentative Fitzgerald, of Massachu-
setts, introducing resolution con-
demning any such move or attempt
"This would be the logical working
out of the presidents Mexican pol
icy," yesterday declared Representa-
tive Alamson B. Houghton, of New
York, member of the foreign affairs
committee, "and would be quite in
line with the practical abrogation of
the Monroe doctrine provided in the
covenant of the league of nations.
Obviously it would be as feasible for
Great Britain to obtain mandatory
over Mexico as it would for the Unit
ed States to act as mandatory over
Armenia or Turkey"
Il know of no better way in which |
the president could cover up perma-
nently from the American people his |
past blunders as to Mexico than to
turn the solution Of the problem over
to Great Britain" remarked Repre-
sentative Frank L. Smith, of Illinois,
member of the foreign affairs COM
mittee, "but | am wondering how he
will explain such surrender of all
our trade prospects and the rights of
our nationals to foreign country"
