BLOODHOUNDS ARE FOOLED
BY ESCAPED CONvICTS

The Reno police department was
notified to look for two convicts who
made their escape from the state
~penitentiary at Carson. The two
fugitives are supposed to be headed
that way. Their tracks were fol-
lowed to the railroad and there lost.
says the Gazette.
The dogs used at the prison for
trailing fugitives are said t have
been fooled by a trick of the prison
ers. The dogs usually are given the
scent from the blankets used by the
prisoners in the cells. In this in
stance the two prisoners exchanged
blankets with other inmates of the
institution and the hounds were baf-
fled soon after leaving the prison on
the trail.
The fugitives are Charles Stringer
who was sentenced from Lander coun-
ty in 1917 to serve from ten to twenty
years. and John Esser, who was sen
fenced from Clark county to serve
from n to fourteen years.

WASTE COUNTRY MADE RICH
Enormous Rubber Plantation in Su-
matra Developed by American
Industry In Ten Years.

Perhaps the most surprising thing
about the enormous rubber plantation
that covers nearly 100000 acres ia

writer in Commerce and Finance. is
that less than ten years ago n could
have Travelled these acres without see
ing q rubber tree. The land was ac-
CURED by an American company, and
the rubber trees followed. Today they
count up to something like 100000.
tended by an army Of about 10000 la
borers. most of whom come from the
neighboring island of Java. The land
rises TO a slight eminence overlooking
the sea of rubber trees which stretches
for miles in every direction. with here
and there glimpses of the fine roads
over which motor cars travel the plan
tation on business or carry passengers
between the bungalows of the estate
managers. Sixty-fve miles of narrow
gauge railway run through this re-
markable rubber forest, with every
tree raised in response to the TWEEN
tieth century commercial demand for
rubber.

HANDICAP IN LOSS OF EYE
said to Depend Largely on Time Of
Life at Which the Accident
Occurred.

What actual disability is involved
In the loss Of one eyer Accident In
surance companies usually estimate
1t at 80 per cent, but Sir Arthur Pear
son told the British committee on the
administration of soldiers and sailors
pensions that this was absolutely alb
surd, and suggested % per cent as q
more reasonable estimate.
II depends largely upon the time Of
life at which the eye is lost. BY
binocular vision, says the Lancet. we
fuse two slightly dissimilar images
of an object. which are focused upon
the two r%etinas. and this enables us
to estimate correctly the relative po-
sition or distance of objects. This
power, however, is not confined to
those of us who possess two good
eyes. The man who has been blind In
one eye from infancy possesses 1t In
almost equal perfection with the pos
SCISSOR of two eyes. Fol many other
factors unite to compensate for the
absence of st~ereoscopic vision. These
are atmospheric and shadow effects.
parallax and, above all. memory of
what the shape of objects really is.
according to knowledge which has
been acquired In early years. largely
by the sense of touch.
On the other hand, If one who pos.
sesses this faculty is suddenly deprived
of II he will be considerably handi-
capped. especially at first. A woman
may find she cannot pour from a tea
pot into a cup without spilling the tea.
A Zimmerman may take some time
before he can hit the nail On the
head with his former accuracy indeed.
whether or not he can ever attain II

YOUTH HAS MUSICAL GENIUS
Willy Ferrero, 10 Years Old, and
American Born, Is Capable
Leader of Orchestra.

Willy Ferrero. 10, who leads 100
piece orchestras in selections of Wag-
ner. Beethoven. Rossini, Grieg and
others, Is an American and was born
In Portland, Me. The child has at
tracted the attention of Europe since
he was 4 years old, but 1t was only
recently that his American birth was
revealed by his parents. who are
Italians.
The lad was taken to Italy whittier
his parents were returning TO take up
their residence In their old home In
Turin. When Willy was 4 he began
his musical career. leading an orches-
ira In the Folies Bergere in Paris. A
year later he appeared In the C~ostanza
theater, Rome, where for the first time
he led an orchestra Of 100 pieces.
The child took his orchestra before
Emperor Nicholas in 1913 and con-
Quoted two concerts for the monarch.
In the same year his orchestra was
filling an engagement In London, and
he was commanded to- appear before
Queen Alexandra at Marlborough
house. lie appeared before Pope Ben
edict XIV in 1916. In April. 1915, just
before Italy's declaration of war. Willy
was presented with the gold medal by
the Italian minister of education after
he had made a successful appearance
in the Augusteum. where he had con-
Quoted an orchestra and chorus aggre-
eating 500 participants.

Use for Surplus Munitions.

An interesting suggestion has been
made by a prominent Swiss meteorol-
ogist and physicist. NJ. de Quervain Of
Zurich. TO the effect that the vast
stores of munitions collected in the bel
ligerent countries during the last four
years be utilized to advance the cause
Of science instead of being merely fir
ed off TO make a Roman holiday, or
else sunk in deep waters to avoid the
latent dangers which reside in them.
By detoning these explosives In defin-
lite quantities. at definite places, and
at definite times whose dates are an
nounced in advance, a possibility
would be presented for the solution Of
many interesting problems in physics
and m~eteorology. The project might
advantageously be carried out in this
country.

Newspaper Men "Struck."

Probably the first strike" ever
called at a convention of the American
Federation of Labor. and against that
body. was called by the pewswriters
assigned to cover the sessions. During
the course of the convention one of the
delegates made criticisms of the way
in which the convention news vas han
died. The newspaper men immediate
ly filed out of the hall and sent word
to the convention that they had gone
on strike. While certain delegates
We're branding the newswriters as Dol
sheviki," others insisted that they form
q committee and present their de-
mands. The demands were formulated
and presented. The convention granted
them by reclamation, and the reporters
were given an ovation when they filed
back to their desks. So il was settled.

Hiqh Heels Lessen Vitality.

High heels prevail in spite Of the
promise of something wiser in build
coming into popular favor. Yet, to
quote a well-known doctor: mo wo-

when wearing high heels o can she
hope to be graceful when wearing
them. for the body Is thrown out Of

stricted. More serious than her awk-
wardness Is the eventual injury to her
health. For in the effort to preserve
her equilibrium the shoulders are

Much Interest in OIL
by w. II. PECK.

Around the brokers offices in De-
,rou the situation in the oil country
ia as well understood as It IL inTulsa
and It is surprising how well the
repu,atfpn of the various oil opera
,0rs and corporations is understood.
Il Is another example OF the well
known fact that men run true to
form" in business and the concern
with desire to play square with its
customers IL sure to have friends no
matter how gloomy the outlook.
The fac, that the Standard OF In
diana, after declaring $50 per cent.
dividend and an additlonaL dividend
Of IS share and has decEed fur
ther to reduce par value OF lis shares
from 800 10 s25, thus giving each
shareholder 25 shares OF stock for
one, has called attention TO tho fact
that the Standard OF Indiana is ex-
cepnOnally prosperous these days
and the reason thereof Is also a sub
Iect Of common gossip where brok-
ers congregate.
II Is said that the principal reason
that the Standard, which supplies
gasoline to Detroit and Michigan, is
so prosperous is that IL has devoted
itself lately 10 campaign of er-
flcienCy and has bettered the quality
OF Its output nightly. There has
been no fault found with Standard
gasoline at the filling stations Of
late, whereas formerly there was n
lot TO kick about. This has put than
on easy street and especially az the
recent advance in freight rates has
worked TO the advantage OF the big
concerns
And while all this is true, inde-

porous In proportion to their capi-
,all7ation and the money they have
