VETERAN OF TWO WARS
RETURNS TO GOLDFTELD

Dennis O'Meara, who enlisted in
the army in June, 1917, returned
here yesterday after serving in
France with the Thirty-hird regi-
men of engineers since June 1918.
The regiment was formed at Camp
Devens, Mass, and was regarded as
one of the crack engineering organi-
tions of the American army. The
Goldfield man left it with the rank
of master engineer, the highest non
commissioned rank. June has been
a big month in O'Meara's war ex-
perience. He sailed for the Philip
pines in the Philippine in%surrection
in June, 1908; enlisted for the war
against Germany in June. 1917;
sailed for France in June, 1918, and
returned to America in June, 1919.

AGENTS IN BRAZIL
CHEAT SHIP OWNERS
AMERICAN CHAMBER OF CON-
MERGE SAYS THEY OVER
CHARGE HEAVILY

RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil, July
2e.-North American ship owners
are placing themselves and North
American business concerns at a dis
advantage with their European
competitors here because their
agents in this city are not actually
representatives of United States con-
Germs, according to the American
chamber of commerce for Brazil.
This body recently appointed a
committee under the Craftsmanship
of Acting Consul General Hasskarl
to investigate the shipping situation
as it affects North American bust
ness. The committee reported that
by leaving to the discretion of ship
captains the selection of agents.
North American owners have been
heavily overcharged for repairs and
other necessities in this port and
that eventually this expenditure
falls on the shipper.
1t is declared by the chamber that
this condition is a vital weakness in
the foreign trade development of
the United States. AS a remedy the
recommendation is made that North
American vessel owners either es-
Sablish their own agencies or author
ize the United States consul general
to recommend agents, not only in
Brazil but in all South American
countries.

complicated with them are politi-
cal agitations which now and then
reach the point of crises. The prin-
cipal political issues are: Nationali-
zation of mines, railways and other
essential industries; abandonment
of the old British free trade system
for protection Involving the ques-
ton open to endless discussion
whether British commercial pros
perity has been because of free
trade or handicapped by it,, the po-
sition of Ireland whose present on
dition has come to be recognized as
a milestone on the neck of the en-
pire; and the proposal to clear OFF
the war debt by a levy ON capital.
Also there is a campaign of or

abolition of CONSUMPTION, withdrawal

fairs and bringing home the sol
diers from Russia, India, and Egypt.

SEEKS TO
ENJ0|N A|RPlANtS
|COVRT To DECIDE OWNERSHIP
OF AIR ABOVE HIS
LAND

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, July 20
Whether a property owner is also
owner of the air above his land is
to be determined through a court
action brought by Frederick Hoene-
mann, a farmer. He seeks 20 re-
strain a company owning airplanes
from using the air above his farm.
Hoenemann contends that the
sight of the machines and the noise
of their engines disturb the live
stock.
There is said to be no direct pre-
cedent to guide the court, and the
case is causing widespread diso"~-
sion in legal circles.
Legal experts of England have
discussed the matter from the
standpoint of national ownership of
the air, it is said.
Some lawyers contend that free
dom of the seas and freedom of the
air are the same, while others as
sert the courts have held that own
ership carries with 1t light and air
above the property as we'll as the
earth beneath.
1t is pointed out that when the
steam engine came there were many
law suits, the plaintiffs ~contending
that the noise as we'll as the dam
ger j~eopardized their stock. The
Massachusetts supreme court, how,
ever. rendered the opinion that the
locomotive was lawful and in keep
ing with progress. Attorneys say
a similar condition arose when mo-
tor cars came into use, but the
highest court of Indiana ruled in
their favor on the grounds that the
law must keep pace with progress.

PROHIBITION RAISES
STRAWBERRY PRICE
SYRUP FOR FLAvORING SODA
WATER WORTH $3.50 A
GALLON

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, July 26.-
Prohibition indirectly produced an
extraordinary condition in the straw
berry market this year..
Prices went higher than ever be-
fore because a Chicago packing
house opened what was said to be
the largest fruit preserving plant
in the world in the heart of the
strawberry district of Delaware and
the eastern shore of Maryland and
bought the product of great berry
producing fields virtually without
regard to cost to meet the tremend-
Gus demand for ice cream and soft
drinks produced by the dry"
period.
Strawberries that normally sold
were snapped up at from so to 81
cents. The price to the consumer
never went below 80 cents this
season Strawberry syrup for flaw
oring soda water formerly sold at 90
cents a gallon is now quoted at
$3.50 a gallon. +.
Farmers are elated. Many of
them made an average of $1,000 an
acre on their strawberry crop and
they are looking forward to big
profits next year.
The packers, when the strawberry
season was over, sent their employees
to other work and closed the fac
tory.

SUMMER CAMPS FOR
HOMES|Ck TEACHERS
THREE HUNDRED ON HAWAIIAN
ISLANDS IN MANLESS
EDEN

HILO. Hawaii, July 26.-Ma-S
rooned on a tropical isle 1000 miles
or more from home, and camping
on the brink of the crater of XII
lauea, n of the worlds greatest
active volcanoes, 200 girls, most of
them pretty and all of them charm
ing, are spending a vacation of two
months in a manless eden.
This is not a scenario; it's a de-
scription of Hawaii's summer camp
for homeless and homesick school
teachers.
A few weeks ago some 500 women
school teachers of Hawaii heard the
sad news that they could not get
back to the states for their summer
vacation, the army transports being
booked full with army officers and
soldiers and the passenger liners
being sold out for months ahead,
war service having taken many of
the Pacific's finest steamers to the
.
Atlantic.
When the teachers predicament
became known, l.. A. Thurston,
Honolulu newspaper publisher, sug-
gested the idea of a summer camp
for teachers at Kilauea, where the
great elevation and cool climate
would give the young m a
pleasant change from the rather de
pressing summer heat of the Ha-
waiian lowlands. The cooperation
of the department of public educa-
ton. the Y M. c.. A. and the army
was enlisted, the military camp at
the volcano being obtained for the
accommodation of the teachers and
such Y. M. C. A. members as cared
to attend.
The public schools closed June p
and the summer camp opened June
29, to close about September l. A
summer normal school will be con-
Quoted in connection with the camp
but attendance is not obligatory
The young women are being pro-
vided with meals at actual cost.

NEW YORK, July 25.-To pool
Europe's needs of credit and COM
modities on the one hand and to
pool Americas to meet
them is a plan suggested by James
s. Alexander, president of the Ma
'tional Bank of Commerce of New
York, for rehabilitating European
countries and enabling them to re-
construct their war-stricken indus
tries.
Mr.. Alexander is a member of a
committee recently formed here to
investigate methods for supplying
Europe with American money and
goods during the reconstruction per-
iod. This committee was formed
upon the suggestion of Henry P. Da-
vison and is headed by j. P. Nor
gan as chairman.
"a pool of Europe's needs should
be met by a pool of Americas re-
sources" asserts Mr.. Alexander.
"That is, Americas should
be applied to Europe's needs
through a great, centralized credit
organization, with extensive powers
of coordination. This may sound
like an ideal plan stated in sweep
ing terms but l think it's details can
be worked out in practical, concrete
form.
There seems to be no existing
machinery adequate to do so. There
fore, a special instrumentality must
be set up probably in the form of a
great credit corporation with capt.
tai enough to handle transactions OF
a size that would be involved, trans
actions representing not merely the
! business of individual concerns but
the combined requirements Of ma
lions.
"a necessary step would seem to
be that surveys be made of the COM
modify needs Of the nations of Eu-
rope, IudC Is, oil SotllldIS VI INV
much copper, steel, cotton, wheat
and other supplies would be re-
quired for Belgium and also for the
other needful countries.
"The supplies available in Ameri-
ca are great but they are not so
great as to meet unlimited and un-
balanced demands. Therefore there
should be a judicious rationing OF
our commodities among the nations
requiring them, in accordance with
their needs.
'In addition to this rationing and
ALLEGATION of commodities, there is
the question of establishing ade-
uuate credits in this country to be
considered. The necessary credits
will be great, so that they must be
carried to the investing public OF
the whole country in the form OF
bonds or debentures.
Because of the deferred maturl-
ties of these debentures, the n
