SWINGING PILLAR IS FOUND
Green Mountain, Near Canon
City, Col.

Canon City, Colo.-Gently swaying
to and fro, huge granite monolith
forming a unique natural monument
has been discovered on Green noun
tain, several miles north of this city.
1t is believed to be the only "swinging
monument in the world.
The shaft is more than 100 feet
high, and in the course of many years
has become free from all surrounding
earth formation, except at the base,
which is about - feet wide. In the
center, the granite column tapers off
to width at the summit practically
the same as at the base.
Lee Hughitt, water commissioner Of
Canon City, and A. v. Hodgin, Ere
mont county commissioner, came
across the phenomenon recently while
on hunting trip.
They report that the entire shaft
moves, probably from two to three
feet at the apex and the swinging is
constant under the pressure Of light
winds. The base Of the shaft, they
said, rests in a small hollow about
three feet in depth and the contiguous
granite formation has been entirely
disconnected.

Transptanted Glands Cause Hen to

Chicago.-The experiments Of DR..
Victor D. Lespinasse of the North
western university in tinkering with
the sex Of the common hen and his
demonstrations before medical experts
have aroused the interest of chicken
growers.
1T was simple enough operation"
explained Doctor Lespinasse; 'just
the TRANSFORMING of the interstitial
glands of rooster to a hen. But the
result was surprising and perhaps no
one was more surprised than the hen
herself. Within a few weeks she be-
gan to develop all the characteristics
Of chanticleer.

"lnstead Of cackling, our near

only thing that's lacking to complete
her-or, I might say, his-rooster-
hood"
The he-hen is now on farm in the
suburbs of Chicago.
In further experiments with ami
mails, Doctor Lespinasse succeeded re-
Gently in producing "siamese Twin"

SAYS LAWSUITS ARE CHEAP
New York Judge Denies Charge That
Poor Do Not Receive
Justice.

New York.-The assertion that the
poor man does not receive justice in
court, made recently in a report of the
Carnegie Foundation for the Advance
ment of Teaching, was contradicted
by Judge Frederick E. Crane of the
court Of appeals. Speaking before the
women members Of the Kings County
Republican club, he declared that "the
chief litigation in our courts is today
conducted by the poor, or persons of
moderate means, and at no time and
in no country have the rights and
remedies of the law been so easily
procured"
nowhere in the world is litigation
so cheap or redress for wrong so read
lily afforded to the poor" Judge Crane
said. ANY law office Of standing can
furnish instances of litigation conduct
ed without charge for services rem
dered because Of the condition of the
parties"

GERMANY BUYS STATE ROADS
Berlin Regime Pays 10000, 0o0, 900
Marks for the Federated States
Railways.

Berlin-Forty billion marks ($1O,-
0OO,OO0,0OO prewar value) is involved
in the governments purchase Of the
Federated States railways, which has
been approved by the national assem-
bly,. The annual interest incurred in
the nations huge investment is esti.
mated at 100000 marks ($4,750,-
600 prewar value).
The government is not oversanguine
with respect to early returns from the
investment, in view Of the dilapidated
condition Of the railways, the delayed
output from repair shops and contin-
ued demands by the men for wage in
creases.
Doctor Bell. minister Of transport,
described in the national assembly the
transaction as one of the most gigan-
tic ever effected by any parliament.
The minister added that more than a
million employees Of the railways will
be on the government pay roll. He ad-
mitted that the government had to pay
heavily for final settlement with the
various states.

MRS. sPIKER NOW CITIZEN
English Girl Is Made Happy by Ac-
ton of Bureau of immigra-
ton.

Baltimore, Md.-Mrs. Emily Knowles
Spiker, the English girl who married
the brother of the father of her baby,
Alfred Ray Spiker, in Fall River,
Mass, was made happy by notification
from the bureau of immigration of the
department Of labor that she had been
officially recognized as an American
citizen and will not be deported.
The bureau also informed her lawyer
that the two Liberty bonds Of $500
each, put up by Mrs. Cora Spiker,
wife Of the father of her baby, would
be returned to her by the treasury de-
partment.
The Spiker case has attracted wide
spread attention, owing to the attitude
of Mrs. Cora Spiker, the wife Of the
returned soldier, who made affidavit
that she had forgiven her husband
and that his confession had caused
no change in the marital happiness,
and to the attitude Of Guy Spiker, her
brother-in-law, who, before he had
seen the girl, expressed his willing
ness to marry her.

ALASKA OFFERS PULP
Forests Could Relieve Shortage,
Says Governor Riggs.
Billions OF Feet Of Paper Wood Avail
able for Manufacture Into
NeWsprint.

Seattle.-Alaska wants to throw
open her millions Of acres of national
forests so that the billions Of feet Of
paper wood of the northland can help
relieve the pulp and newsprint famine,
Gov. Thomas Riggs, Jr., of Alaska de-
clared here recently.
Governor Riggs was here on his way
from Juneau, capital Of Alaska, to
washington, where he expected to help
press pending legislation intended to
ramoVe restrictions and allow pulp
manufacturers to 60 into the Tongass
and Chugach reservations, the north
ern territOry's two great reserves.
Pulp and paper men are anxious to
go to Alaska and establish mills as
great as these operated in British
Columbia not far south Of the Alaska
boundary line, the governor asserted.
Under the present laws the pulp max
ers cannot enter the reservations with
any certainty that they will be allowed
to stay.
Alaska's great forests stretch over
approximately $4,000 square miles, an
area nearly equal in size to the state
Of Indiana, according to estimates
made by government officials.
Several hundred million feet Of good
pulp wood, including western yellow
pine, hemlock, Sitka spruce, white fir
and lodgepole pine, are on the forest
reserves alone
The Tongass reserve, in southeast
ern Alaska, is especially adapted to
the manufacture of pulp and paper,
forestry officials have reported. There
is plenty Of water power, ocean hor-
boris open the year around, timber
skirting the water and weather sim
liar to that Of the Puget sound.
The governor intends to ask Wash
ington to restore the reserves to the
national domain or to open them to
the pulp industry.

$1,000 FOR MOSQUITO BITE
Demand Is Made by Sailor in Suit
Brought in Brooklyn Supreme
Court.

New York.-The tale Of ship beset
by swarms Of mosquitoes during a
voyage along the south Atlantic coast
was unfolded in a complaint filed in
the Brooklyn supreme court in suit
for $4,000 damages brought by Hen
dricus De Raay, a sailor.
De Raay alleges that after he had
been bitten severely, officers Of the
steamship Gulfcoast, belonging to the
Gulf Refining company, refused to
give ointment to him.
The company has asked for bill Of
particulars, denying that the officers
refused the ointment, and declaring
that mosquito bites were part of the
assumed risk Of employment,

FORMER GERMAN
LINERS MARKED
: Crafts Which Once Flew the
Double Eagle Crippled by
PlotterS.
|MPERAT0R IS ONE VICTIM
Giant Vessel Develops List at Sea-
Bombs Found on Washington
Moccasin Sunk and CaIIao
Disabled.

New York.-Former German liners
and cargo ships, now being operated
under the United States flag, appear
to nave become the objects of sabotage
by Germans or ''reds," who are de-
termined that the craft that formerly
flew the double eagle shall not prove
OF great value to a nation that helped
to overthrow Germany. Great Britain
IS said to be following similar clews,
some Of which indicate that the at
tacks on shipping may be the result
OF the spreal of communism and soviet
teachings to the ranks of the Interna-
tional Seamen's union, which controls
the men on the ships under the Ameri-
can and other allied flags.
The four most aggravated cases
which are being considered involve
three American vessels and the I'm
perator, which is flying the flag Of the
Cunard line since she was turned over
to England by the United States. The
United States ships are George Wash
1ngton, on which President Wilson
travelled to and from the peace con.
ference, and the cargo carriers Moe
casin and Callao.
Attempts to Damage Ships.
The Imperator, while on a trip to
Europe early in March, developed a
mysterious list while at sea, which her
officers and crew were unable to rem
edy. 1t is held to have been caused
by a deliberate attempt to disable the
giant liner.
The Moccasin turned turtle in the
Erie basin several months ago. When
divers investigated they found her sea-
cocks had been opened and so tam
pered with that it was impossible to
close them. Several bombs were found
on the George Washington several
weeks ago just before she was sched-
uled to sail for Europe. The Callao,
on her recent arrival at Rio de Janeiro.
was found in an unseaworthy condi-
ton as the result Of deliberate tamper-
ing with her machinery.

ment Of labor, which is published in
the Monthly Labor Review, the official
publication Of the department.
The chart, which appears upon cas-.
ual observation to be an illustration
of the suns rays or an optical vision,
is found upon close inspection to be
hardly so harmless an apparition.
Forty-one articles Of everyday food
were kept track Of for the year, retail
prices for various cities in the country
being recorded. 1t was found that
twenty-five Of these forty-one articles
had Increased in price; the others in
the main showed decreases, only one
article, package corn flakes, holding
firm for year.
Onions a Strong Climber
The humble onion-which, despite
It's humbleness is the base of many
foods prepared by the poorer of the
foreign families-sold for 4.1 cents on
Jan. Is, 1919; year later the price
recorded is 8 cents, an increase Of 12O
per cent.
Cabbage was next in line with a 90
per cent ascent, while the other foods
which showed an upward trend, with
their percentage Of increases, were:
Potatoes, 50; graduated sugar, IS !;
raisins, SO; prunes, AZ; coffee, Al;
rice, 81; flour (wheat), %; rolled oats,
10; canned salmon, 16; bananas, II;
Oleomargarine and strictly fresh eggs,
10; bread, 8; fresh milk and corn
meal, 6; hens, butter, s.; evaporated
milk, storage eggs, 4; lard, macaroni,
2; lamb, tea, 1.
Hurrah! Beans Are Cheaper.
The articles which showed de-
crease and the percentage Of de-
creases recorded we're; Navy beans,
10; plate beef, 20; bacon, II; canned
tomatoes, II; chuck roast, baked
beans, 10; pork chops, 8; ham, canned
corn, 6; round steak, 5; rib roast, 4
cheese, canned peas, 2; sirloin steak,
oranges, 1.
Potatoes and sugar have increased
. considerably in price, especially in
Chicago, since January, so that the
present comparative figures on those
two items would show appreciably
larger percentages Of increases now
than the federal record shows for
January Of this year.
Another tabulation in the same bull
letin lists percentage Of price increases

1O1 per cent increase for pork chops,
lO2 for lamb, 107 for hens, 121 for
lard, 1913 for strictly fresh eggs, 143
for storage eggs, As for wheat flour,
12O for corn meal, and last, but by no
means least, 23S increase in potatoes
and a POI raise in granulated sugar.
There were no items showing a de-
crease for that period.
