SMOOTH BANK SCHEME WIPED
 BY AMERICAN

BUDAPEST, July 26 (by Associated Press).-U. Grant-Smith, the Ameri- can high commissioner in Budapest, has succeeded in saving about 50,000,- 900 crowns to Americans who recent ly opened accounts for trading pur- poses.
 The Hungarian government issued in March a decree requiring the stamping of notes of the AustroHun- garian bank circulating in Hungary, to relieve it's financial embarrassment and ordered one-half of the money pre- sented for stamping to be withheld and converted into a compulsory state loan. Some of the bankers saw a good opportunity of loading their inevitable losses on the shoulders of their Amer ican clients.
 Although the Americans had only current or drawing account, some of

WIDE-0PEN OIL POLICY FOR WORLD.

America, with only four months supply of oil in storage, faces the prospect of having to seek oil from foreign sources which are now show ing "a tendency to exclude the United States from purchasing from their fields" according to Van H. Manning, United States director of mines, (por- trait herewith in paper read be- fore the one hundred and twenty-frst annual meeting of the American Insti- ute of Mining and Metallurgical En- gineers. A 'wide-Open oil policy for all the world" was advocated by Di- rector Manning, who urged the active projection of such policy by citizens and legislators.
 George O. Smith, director of the United States geological survey, con- frmed the statement of the director of mines, and said the position of the United States in regard to it's oil SUD- ply at the present time was "pre- carious." MT. Smith estimated the

JAP SUPPLY OF HOSIERY NOW
 ABOUT ENDED

TOXIC, July 26 (by Associated Press)-The financial depression and the depreciation of cotton yarn has placed the hosiery manufacturers of Japan in critical position Produc- tion in nearly all centers has either ceased or been reduced owing to the market prices offered for the mamufac- tured goods and the closing of the money market, which has cut the man. ufacturers off from their supply of funds.
 Scarcity of exchange funds and the sudden advance of exchange rates con- sequent upon the depreciation of sil- yer quotations, have helped to kill the export trade. Where the fall of silver prices has seriously affected Asiatic countries, the export of hosiery from Japan has been very seriously inter- fered with, the buying power of the mercantile community coming to a standstill
 According to official figures issued from Nagoya, the financial depression has dealt the severest blow to the hosiery industry in that district. The latest returns from the municipal of flee show that 115 of the 225 factories in Nagoya have closed their doors and 1,715 of the 2,O50 knitting machines are idle. Thousands of operatives are out of employment and the Manufac- turers' Union has organized a support association for their relief.

PUEBLOS WERE 0RIClNAT0RS0F
 AZTEC CULTURE

NEW YORK, July 26 (by Associated Press. Additional indication that the Pueblo Indian cliff dwellers at Aztec, N M., founded the Aztec and Bonito culture, has been uncovered by new excavations of the American Museum of Natural History, it is announced here ...
 Discovery of a sealed room in per feet condition at the Pueblo ruin ill Aztec, surpassing in beauty and state of preservation any prevously found in America, was reported to the mu- scum by Dr. Clark Wissler, curator of
 anthropology.
 The interior of the sealed room is i plastered and painted in brilliant white with dull red side borders and running series of triangular designs, Dr. Wiss1er reported. A sacred ser pent carved in wood decorates the ceiling. It is 21a feet long and of the finest workmanship. On the ceiling beams are imprints of hands in white paint several strands of finely made rope hang down and on the floor are large number of nicely cut stone slabs, one of which was 21A by 1A feet and 1A inch thick.
 Several adjoining rooms, seeming to bear relation to this sealed one, are yet to be uncovered, Dr. Wissler stated Continuing on the Aztec ex- cavations, he said:
 Since the greater part of the west side is now uncovered, one can get a full sweep over this immense com
 plex of stone walls and quaint door
 ways. Our excavations have revealed that the greater part of the east and north sides of the city were swept by 1 fire. The ceilings were of wood, sup
 ported by great logs of cedar and
 spruce, overlaid by split cedar and
 bark. These fell down upon each other and lay in the lower rooms in great charred masses. We found the bodies of several unfortunates caught in the rooms.
 "As the fire did not reach the west side, we found a large number of rooms with their ceilings still intact and household utensils on the floor just as they were left"

LEVINE ADMITS BIG PROBLEMS
 CONFRONT HIM

TOXIC, July 26 (by Associated Press ).-Nikolai Lenine, soviet pre- mier of Russia, asserts that the most important problem confronting the soviet government today is how to harmonize capitalism and socialism. He made that statement in an inter- view in Moscow, in which he is quoted as saying:
 For that purpose, the soviet drew up a special understanding which was made public in America some time ago. Some of the powers mis- took the concessions made as a sign of weakness and dispatched expedi- tionary forces to Russia. The result was a complete failure on their part, financially, militarily and morally"
 He admitted that there were yet many difficulties to be overcome be fore the Soviet government was estab- lished on a solid basis but he be- lieved that the hardest portion of the work had been already accomplished.
 Tt took Russia" he said no few CT than 30 years to pass from feudal- ism to capitalism. There is nothing extraordinary in that. Old systems may be overthrown in a day but it takes a long period to erect a new one. In fact, the longer the period involved, the surer will be the basis of reconstruction.
 "The development of a state" Len. ne declared, "depends very much upon the education of the rising gen eration and it is the policy of the Russina soviet to pay every possible attention to the training of the youthful mind.
 'In regard to the economic pros poets of new Russia that is being constructed, we believe that efforts should be directed first of all to the destruction of the position of land owners in Poland. This is an essen tial preliminary to the establishment of a permanent peace and,. therefore to the improvement of economic con ditions"

the bankers of Budapest attempted to treat them as actual money deposits, pass off their ready money as the American deposits, get it stamped and write letter to their clients stating henceforth they could only dispose of one-half of their deposit. As for the other half the depositors were in several cases notified they had partic- ipated in a compulsory Hungarian state loan the bonds of which are nOn- transferable and non-negotiable, but valid for the payment of taxes.
 The scheme was frustrated by the intervention of MT. Grant t-Smith, who made representations to the Hungar- ian government that no money trans action of the government could involve financial losses to citizens of the United States. AS the rightfulness of this principle was acknowledged by the Hungarian government, the bank CTS were outwitted. This incident, as Mr., Grant-Smith remarked, answers the question: Does efficient diplo- matic service pay?"

AVIATOR GETS . SEASlCK WHILE
 DRIVING PLANE

TOKYO, July 26 (by Associated Press) ).-Lieutenan Ferrarin, one of the two famous Italian airmen who flew from Rome to Tokio, encountered such rough air conditions while cross ing the length of Korea that they made him seasick The tempest met in the Hakone mountains was unparalleled.
 "In my entire flying experience" he said, 'I had never before met with such conditions. The air was So dis turbed over Korea that the machine pitched like a small boat in a heavy swell, and for the first time in my life I knew what it was to be seaslck. As soon as I reached the straits, where an escort of Japanese destroyers was waiting for me, the air conditions i'm proved and the rest of my flight to Tokio. except for the storm iii the Hakone, was made in ideal weather"
 One of the most difficult parts of his fight to Tokio, he explained, was between Rangoon and Bangkok, where very heavy fogs were encountered, making it extremely difficult to keep on the course Between Ubon and Hanoi, Lieutenant Ferrarin was froced to follow train for about three hours in order to keep on the right course,

LATOUCHE EASY VICTIMS FOR
 LOCAL TEAM

Cordova can lay claim now without fear of contradiction to the best little baseball team in the territory, for the much touted reputation of the La touche ball tossers got an awful jolt in the ball game here yesterday, when the local boys swamped the island visitors by 15 to l score.>
 The visitors looked every inch ball players when they appeared on the field for practice, but they had a balloon ascension such as is seldom seen on any sandlot when they got into the actual game. Erickson es- saved to pitch for the visitors, but his offerings were landed on so hard , by the Cordova sluggers that he re- tired in the second innng after one man was out in favor of Ricketts, leav- ing the latter with handicap of a five-run lead. Ricketts had nothing on the ball but little speed, and the local boys swatted the ball to all cor ners of the lot throughout the long game.
 Jimmy Chambers in reality /pitched another no-hit game, for neither of the two hits credited against him should have been safeties. In the fifth inning Sullivan got to first on an infield hit that should have been an easy out when Steele and Chambers played Gaston and Alfonso as to who should pick up the ball and throw it to first, and in the eighth Mantey's high fly to left field should have been another easy out if Peterson had not misjudged the ball. Chambers during the game retired twelve of the visiting batters by the strike-out route.
 Latouche certainly has some likely looking ball tossers, however, and al though they had an off day yesterday, a return game will undoubtedly have a much closer outcome. Sanford, quite a young lad playing first base for La touche, appears to be a very classy fielder, and saved his teammates more 7 errors than they really made yesterday by some clever catches of poor throws.
 As near as could be figured out by the scorekeeper, the bombardment is told in the following figures:

SCIENTIST
 SAYS DRY LAWS
 W|LL.BE MODIFIED
By HENRY WOOD

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
 PARIS, Aug. 14.-America will not long remain dry.
 This is the information which Pro- lessor Tuffier, leading French scien- tist and surgeon will officially pre- sent to the French Academy of Me dicine, probably the most distinguish ed medical body in the world.
 Professor Tuffier has just returned to Paris from thorough investiga- tion of the pathological and other eff fects upon Americas thirsty sons of her present "dryness."
 To the United Press Professor Tu- ffier has outlined his official report to the French Academy of Medicine as follows: ."
 q am convinced that the total pro- hibition of alcohol in the United Stat es will not last long and that the next president-be he democrat or republi- can-will provide for qualifications. It is probable that in the end the American people will adopt the reg ime of prohibiting entirely alcoholic liquors in the real sense of the word but will authorize the consumption of light alcoholic drings such as wine and beer. A law simply defining the degree of alcohol above which the sale of such drinks is prohibited will be necessary to settle the question.
 'T expect to present this solution to the French Academy of Medicine for adoption in France. It would leave intact all of the generous and inof- fensive richness contained in good French wines and it would be the ideal solution both for France and America. r,,
 "The experiment which has been made with total prohibition in Ameri- ca during the past six months is very interesting. First of all, the number of street accidents such as falls, col lisions of vehicles and street car crushings has greatly diminished. The same is true of labor accidents, because the workman is much more precise when he has not drank alco- hol. Finally the American hospitals that specialize on temporary mental alteration and insanity have seen their clientele diminish in an impress sing manner. This is because delir- ium tremens was one of the principal sources and causes of insanity"

with the idea of ultimately securing large production, which is almost SURE to
come as a natural consequence Of building upon a permanent foundation
backed by confidence that the Texas oil fields have a big future in the pro-
duction of oil. The Hartford Oil Company is directed by practical business
end oil men, who have given their time and their money feeling certain that
both are being wisely invested.
A few hundred dollars invested in oil companies have made fortunes. The
returns are $ o large that they sound almost fabulous. We are informed of
where $175OO brou, It $SOOOOOO. Another as where s175 brought $S3OOO-
90, and still another as $3.50 brought S45O00OO. 1t is a weu-known fact that
many mlHonares ire reported to have made their money in Texas oil fields
where oil development is getting well under way. Geological reports
estimate that there is oil underlying the oil fields of Texas in almost inestm-
able quantities. Fortunes await those who bring this oil to the surface and
probably n o other industry in the world pays as large profits as the oil busi-
Iress.
It's reported that Benedum and Trees Louisiana well sold for $7OO0OOO-
