Oriental, Panic Stricken,
Calls on Fire God for Help

During the recent lava flow down
the side of Mauna Loa on the island
of Hawaii an ancient Chinese farmer
looked out of his doorway to see the
molten mass making straight for his
Init. Panic-striclen, he called upon
all the gods he had ever heard of to
spare his home and his farm, but to
no avail until an old Hawaiian helper
screamed Pray to Pili!"-the Ha-
waiian God of Fire. The Oriental
fell upon his knees and prayed loudly
and earnestly. To his great relief
the flow changed it's course just in
time by making an almost right an
gle turn without apparent cause.
flowed on past his home, and then
made a sharp turn back to its orig
inal course. Proof of this freak of
the flow Is furnished by the now
solidified lava which surrounds the
farm on three sides.

1ren of the county committees.
received q copy of these printed
rules several days before the sub
committee met the second time.
Before the committee held its
second meeting and after the rules
had been printed and sent out broad
cast over the state, carrying the
word Democrat, Mr.. Gardner, the
secretary, called me over long dis
lance telephone and called my at
tention to an interview by NJ
Hoover published in the newspapers
ard L think in The Journal-but will
not be positive about that-saying
he was not a Democrat.
Called Subcommittee
"Mr. Gardner requested that in
view of this interview I make a rul-
ing as to Mr.. Hoover's eligibility I'M
der the rules already written and
printed. / refused TO make the rul-i
ing, but stated that [ would call the.
entire subcommittee together Which2
[ subsequently had Mr.. Gardner do.
''At this second meeting and after.
the rules had been printed and pro-
mulgated, the question was discuss
ed in the committee as to whether:
Mr.. Hoover's name should appear.

view that he was not IL Democrat. >
1.-THE committee decided to have.
the secretary write Mr.. Hoover re-
questing of him an expression as to
whether he desired to qualify under
the rules formerly prescribed by
the committee Ills answer to this
legitimate query, I think, was that
he had never been Democrat before
the war, that his war work was
of a nOn-partiSan nature, and he de-
Clined, as he stated, for other rea-
sons, to permit the use of his name
III Mr.. Hoover now desires to dual
ify as a candidate under these rules,
I, as chairman of the committee, will
guarantee, under authority of the
committee, that his name will ap-
pear upon the ticket with the other
candidates who have qualified.

there is any great demand for Mr.

Ships Made Available h.
For Importing Nitrate

Indications arc that enough Chilea$n
nitrate will reach the United States
to meet the nitrate requirements Of
American farmers for this season.
The limiting factor was lack OF tom
mage to bring the nitrate TO American
ports. The department CT agricuI-
ture on February placed before the
shipping board the necessity for
prompt action in making such ton
mage available. A conference was
held on February between the ship
ping board and representatives of
principal nitrate concerns and an
agreement was reached under, which
the board agrees to furnish prompt
requisite tonnage covering the period
from now until July /. After that
date, according to the agreement, i'm
porters will submit their sales on
the first of each succeeding month
and the shipping board will enter
into further engagements to supply
the required tonnage.
Deliveries will be somewhat delay
ed for February and March. but
nitrate concerns believe that they
will now be able to handle April, May
and June arrivals in such way as to
clear up all deliveries that are be-
hind and to take care of the forward
business in good form. Indications
are that importers will make deliv-
cries in accordance with contract,
subject to some possible delay during;
the next few weeks.

Boy, Age 7, a Marvel in
The Eyes of Teachers,
A Graduate Already

SYRACUSE, n. Y.-Babbling the
NHebreW tongue at the age of four
and one-half, making TRANSACTIONS
OF the ancient Hebraic of the Bible
into pure English at five, and ready
to graduate from grammar into high
school at the age of seven-that is
the record of Moses Finkelstein, of
this city, pronounced by educators
at Syracuse university the most re-
markable infant prodigy in the his
tory of American education
If the seVen-year-old> Syracuse boy
maintains his present rate of prog
res3, he will meet the university
entrance requirements, as far as
studies are concerned, at the age of
ten years. He is the youngest grad
uate ever to be sent from a SYRIA
cuse school, if not from any gram
mar institution in the country.
Noses is the son of Mr.. and Mrs
Nathan Finkelstein, $50 Rose ave-
nue.. Incidentally, he is not the only
child in the family to show the I'M
usual mental advancement. His sis
ter, two years younger. is fast fol-
lowing in his footsteps and her
school instructors predict, the same
brilliant achievement for her.
Both Moses and his sister, Ger
trude, are pupils in Croton school
here. Until the present term, the
brother attended Washington Irv-
ing, where he established a marvel
Gus, record by jumping from one
Of the primary grades to the sixth
year. His instructor there was Miss
Mary Finnegan.
Moses can grasp a point long
before children twice his age I'M
derstand," Miss Finnegan said. "He
can talk upon any subject raised
He shows astounding training along
a diversity of lines. He simply
amazes with his knowledge of ma
tional and world wide affairs. His
torical personages are tabulated in
his seven-year-old brain. with I'M
erring facility"
The parents of. the prodigy see
nothing Unusual in their sons re-
anarkable mentality. They credit it
to the training he has received.

years old, garage proprietor at Sci.
lersburg, Ind, was probably fatally
burned when can Of oil he was
using in building a fire in the
kitchen of his home exploded and
a robe he was wearing ignited.
Enveloped in flames, Weber ran to
his bedroom, where he attempted to
smother, the fire by rolling in bed.
Failing, he resorted to a fire extin-
guisher, but his efforts were futile
Dashing from his home almost
nude, his body abIaze, Weber ran
to Hauss sanitarium, three blocks
distant, where he collapsed. Ply
sicians at the institution, who put
out the flames, hold little hope
for his recovery.
Mrs. Clara Weber, his wife, asleep
in another part Of the home, was
unaware of her husbands fate until
notified by attaches Of the sana-
torium.
