WATER TANK IS HIDING PLACE
 OF SMUCCLE;RS

ABINGDON, July 20 (by Associated ess).-Several important seizures of British and American gold have re- gently been made here. The money was found secreted on ships and in cluded amounts of 942,000, 93,O0O and e37,O00
 The business of smuggling has proved enormously profitable for some time but it is believed that the author ities have at last got the upper hand
 In this latest seizure the officials had to call in divers before their search of vessel could be com pleted.
 A big water tank was discovered on the inside of which was a number of shelves with 16 bags of gold on them. The bags were brought to the surface and were found to contain 13,5S7 Queen Victoria sovereigns and 6,023 American eagles.
 Had the gold been smuggled through there would have been a profit of about 910,000.

PEARL DIVING SEASON OPENS
 ON CORAL ISLE

PAPEETE, Tahiti, July 20 (by As sociated Press ).-The pearl diving sea- son. the great event of the year in the French Settlements, opens the last part of July. Diving is not permitted for two years in succession at the same island. The various pearl islands are opened in rotation. This means that all gear, stocks of merchandise and building material must be taken to a new island each year-no small undertaking when it is remembered that the coral ato1l, which in ordinary times supports less than two hundred persons, becomes in the diving season the abiding place of 2,5O0 or more.
 This year the open island is HiGu- cru, one of the Paumotu archipelago 400 miles to the eastward of Tahiti.
 Already this lonely atoll is taking on a metropolitan appearance. The profits to be gained come not only from the pearl shell won from the lagoon but from the sale of all kinds of wares dear to the native heart and from the providing of entertainment to refresh the weary diver and his women folk after the labors of the day are over.
 Late advices indicate that the sea- son this year at Hikueru will be the most active in many years. It is esti- mated there will be at least a thou sand divers at the island These, to- gether with their families and the traders with their staffs, will swell the population of the island during the season to nearly 4,000.

WEATHER MEN GIVE ADVICE
 TO. AVIATORS

LOS ANGELES, July 20 (by Asso- ciated Press) s).-Aviators wishing to . fly over Southern California may se- cure information regarding air cur rents at least six months in advance to guide them in determining at what altitude they should fly. This is the formerly of the United States weather bureau, now manager of the depart ment of meteorology and aeronautics of the Los Angeles Chamber of Com merce
 The department of which Dr. Car penter is the head furnishes informa- tion daily to aviators with regard to general flying conditions. The data ~thus supplied is based upon Dr. Car penter's personal observations in this section, covering a period of more than twenty years United States weather bureau reports and telephonic communications from various Califor- mia points.
 Should an aviator ask which route to take in flying north,' Dr. Carpenter said when explaining his system, we would telephone to certain points in the mountain passes of the Tehachepi range. The wind might be sweeping north through one pass and south through another. Of course, we would advise the aviators to follow the pass where the wind was to the north.
 "A few months ago a United States army officer asked if it would be safe for his airplane to take off for San Francisco at o'clock on a stormy morning. After consulting the weather bureau we felt safe in advising him that if he started at that time he would strike fair weather in an hour, which proved to be the case.
 Air currents come so near to being without deviation in Southern Califor- uld lHdt we Call 1lldhS cl StotSll1SiAC N garding conditions likely to prevail at any time of the year at any point. This was demonstrated recently when A trip was made by free ballon from the campus of the University of Cali fornia, southern branch, to Highland Park in the northern section of Los Angeles Every detail of the flight was planned six months in advance, even to the time and place of start Ing and landing.
 "A manufacturing concern recently asked whether it would be possible to make trial flights of baby blimps' at a certain time at Los Angeles harbor. Our records showed the wind would be unfavorable, but that nearly ideal con- ditions could be found at that time four miles up the coast"

TOKYO, July 20 (by Associated Press) "A homesick Japanese boy, who threw himself into the sea as the steamer Mexico Maru was leaving for Seattle rather than leave his ma tive land, caused great excitement in Yokohama harbor. A launch rescued the boy and in response to signals from the steamship went alongside and took off the boys parents and three sisters, who refused to proceed to the United States without him.

RED CROSS ISSUES CALL
FOR CHIIDRE.N'S CLOTHING

An urgent call for clothing for in
fants and small children has been is
sued from the national headquarters
of the American Red Cross. and has
been transmitted to the local chapter
through the headquarters of the Pa
cific division at San Francisco. Rep
resentatiyes of the Red Cross report
terrible conditions in central and
southeastern Europe. and the nat
ional organization is trying with
every means at its command to re-
lieve the situation.
At a meeting of the directors of
the White Pine chapter held at the
city hall last night it was decided to
ask the various sewing clubs of Ely
and East Ely to undertake the pre-
paration of number of layettas, all
material TO be supplied by the Red
Cross. and the cutting to be done by
ladies who had experience In that
line of work during the period of the
Red Cross greatest activity at the
time of the war. Ladies' who can
make one or moro outfits at nome
are requested to telephone Mrs. NJ.
8. Rodgers, secretary Of the chapter,
and leave their names and addresses.
Neighborhood sewing clubs are also
requested to take the matter up and
see II they cannot undertake the
preparation of some of the layettes.
White Pine chapter having made
such a splendid record during the
war 1t would be a shame to have the
local organization fail to respond tn
this latest call for help which, ar
cording to renorts from Headquarters
Is sorely needed.

the Fourth of July as spent by the

soldiers and sailors and marines
held poses in a picture that demon
strated going over the top"
The float was mounted on one of
the big trucks of G. F. Deckelamn.
which had been donated for the oc-
casion. The idea was developed by
William Coleman and work of build
ing the float was performed by the
boys Of the legion.
Several other creditable floats ap-
peared in the parade, the Woman's S
Club float representing the states of
the Union with the Goddess of Lib
erty winning second prize.
