WHEELER COMPLIES AND FILES DATA ON
 CAMPAIGN EXPENSE
Anti-SaIoon League Is Thus Placed on Same Basis as Other Political
 Organizations
By HUGH W. ROBERTS
 Washington Bureau The Age HeraI

500 Davidson Building Washington, October 29.-(SpeciaL)-1t was with great reluctance that Wayne B. Wheeler, attorney for the Anti-Saloon League of Aberica, compiled with the demand of the clerk of the House of Rep resentatiyes that he observe the tions to make public political expendi- lures.
 He protested on the ground of his corN tertion that the league was not political, never indulged in politics as that term is popularly regarded, but moral, scien- tif1c, philanthropic, charitable, uplifting and Cody. But he finally obeyed the law.
 The important fact therein, in the opinion of Washington politicians not af- filiated with the politicians of the league, Is that precedent has been set. In the future, MT. Wheeler will be required to make detailed reports, and thus 10 reveal the sources of his revenue.
 Two state superintendents have followed the lead of the national organization, those of Maryland and West Virginia. in the future, all state superintendents will be required to report to Congress before and after elections held for the choice of members of Congress. Likewise they will be- required to report to state au thorities before and after every election held for the choice of governors and other state officials
 Like the democrats and republicans, the leasuers will be compelled to detail their expenditures and give the sources of their revenu.

BENSON DEFENDS
 SHIPPING Fi(tATeD


 Washington, Octobr .9.-(Special)- miral w. s. Benson, chairman of the shipping board, is tired of the frequently revived canard t1lat the board is broke and many millions of dollars in debt.
 ''The board is not 'broke,'" he said to- day And it is not millions in debt. We are preparing statement to disclose the entire situation. It will be provti that the board is paying it's own way, and that expenses in overhead chaTres have been reduced s2000,00o per annun.
 "Our main expenses have occurred in building ships for other departments principally the war department, from which we get no return. Though the outlay concerning the board itself is great, to the government as whole a great saving is effected.
 ''No return on investments on new con- struction can be expected until lines are actually in operation"

WE'D TO FATHER

Baltimore, Nd. July 2O.-An I'M
usual story is told in a bill Of COM
plant filed in circuit court No. 2
yesterday by Anna Belle Jones,
through Archey c. New, attorney,
for the annulment of the marriage
to William NJ. Jones.
The case is that of a wife and
mother who says that she has learn
ed that her husband-the father OF
her two children-whom she sup
posed to be her stepfather,. was her
real father, and that his improper
conduct toward her younger sister
caused the latter to leave thler
home.
Mrs. Jones declares in the bill that
before her marriage she lived with
her parents without being aware
of her supposed stepfather's ident-
ity. Another unsual feature of the
story is the assertion of Mrs. Jones
that the revelation Of her supposed
stepfather's identity came to her IN
a dream. Two children were born
of the marriage. boys, 8 and J
years old, who are said to be entire
ly normal and healthy.

Victory Worth While.

There's no satisfaction equal to the
consciousness of measuring up to your

ordinary things can never take the
pride In his achievements men of
vision take. They see what lies be-
yond the ken of calculating mortals.
Struggle to them is second nature.
They delight in hard things because
they are hard. And to them come the
great victories that never tarry long
enough to be made sure to the weak

pray for, but they have no value with

AT WORK ON BIG PROBLEMS
Grandson of Huxley Seeking, Among
Other Things, the Secret OF
Perpetual Youth.

The secret of perpetual youth and re-
newed vigor, the determination of sex
and the curing Of certain human dis
eases are some of the problems which
1t seems are being solved in the lab
oratories at Oxford. England, by Jul
liam Huxley, grandson of the famous
biologist, Thomas Henry Huxley.
The actual achievements included
the change of tadpoles into frogs
within three weeks; the production of
a new sort of creature; the restora-
ton of a fiatworm to youth, and the
control of the sex of frogs eggs, pro-
ducing 80 per cent OF males at the will
Of the experimenter.
The Daily Mail, which makes this
news public, comments in an editorial
on the great possibilities of Julian
Huxley's discovery and says:
"We seem to be nearer some of the
hardest and most enthralling myster-
les Of life"

ROADS HARD ON AUTO TIRES
Yearly Cost to Owners Of Cars 10
Something Like $1,000. 100000
In Wear.

A great deal has been said and writ
ten. in discussing the roads and road
building in the United States, about
the wear and tear of automobiles on
the roads. but a brand-new element
seems to have been brought In by the
director of roads of the American
Automobile association. who suggests
consideration of the wear and tear Of
the roads on automobiles. Automo-
bile traffic now wears out something
like 100000 tires a year, costing au-
tomobile owners something like ST.
O00.0O0,0OO; and on the roads as they
now are. Il can be argued, from data
already accumulated. that the tractive
resistance, otherwise wear and tear.
varies from 20 pounds or less on one
kind of road to 500 pounds or more
on another. The consumption of gaso-
line also is said to vary with the char
acter of the road on which an auto
mobile is travelling. The idea is sur
prising. but 1t seems not impossible
that considerable part of the cost of
building a national system of roads
that would produce the least possible
wear and tear on automobiles would
be balanced by the decreased expense
for tires.

HIRAM EVIDENTLY A SN0RER
Faithful Wife Thought She Rec

Made by Her Lord and Master.

An amazingly fat couple boarded a
sleeping car just before the train
pulled out of the Pennsylvania station
In New York, and soon retired, the
woman taking the lower berth and the
man the upper OF a section. 1t was
necessary to enlist the aid Of the por-

gers to enable the man to attain to
his lofty couch. but It was accom-
plished and the car presently became
quiet
Some time during the night the
train was held up on siding and, as
It happened, the sleeping car was
stopped right alongside a car loaded
with uncomfortable and loudly protest
ing hogs, the noise of whose lamenta-
tons assembled TO the stars.

TO Tel Age OF Lebancn's
Famous Trees.

The age of the famous cedars of
Lebanon has long been In dispute. Lo-
cal tradition says they were planted
by God at the creation of the world
and that they win endure until the last
day.
That there was a great grove OF
cedars on Lebanon in the days of King
solomon there can be no doubt, as 1t
was from them that ne obtained the
wood for building the temple. Whether
any Of those now standing were there
In Solomon's time is matter of specu-
lation.
At the present day the grove con-
tains $50 trees, of which only Is are of
large size. II is In the center of a great
basin In the mountains, 5000 feet
above the sea. A Maronite chapel is
on mound in the shade of the trees,
and here mass is said and on the feast
of the TRANSPORTATION great festival
takes place
Several efforts to calculate the age
of the cedars now standing have been
made by counting the rings in the
heart wood of those that have fallen.
These estimates, according to Prof.
A. Henry Of the Royal College of Sci
ences for Ireland, In an article In Coun-
try Life, vary from 2,230 years to $500
years, although 1t may be that they are
of slower growth than the specimens
tested in other countries.
The largest of the cedars is ID feet

PLAN FOR CUTTING ASPHALT
Method Shown In illustrations Is Time
and Labor Saver--Wire Cuts
Through Material.

Asphalt Is usually shipped in tin
barrels. The metal is stripped off and
the asphalt rolled up to the stopping
board; the wire shown, attached to
the winding drum. is passed over and
around the asphalt to piece of pipe
under and ahead of the stop board.
When the drum is turned it tightens
up on the wire and causes 1t to cut
through the asphalt. Kerosene is
poured on the wire to make 1t pass
through the asphalt easily.
The barrel shape is first cut In half.
then each half is cut into quarters
