 Let us assure you, however" Mr. Stone said, that this overthrow is a long way from an accomplished fact"

 Mr. Stone said the railroads with characteristic cunning have made it appear that the brotherhoods have precipitated the whole trouble and then reviews events leading up to the authorization ot the strike.

 i Lee told how the strike vote was taken and the wa1kout ordered. He told the board he withdrew from the joint meeting of the other unions be- cause the strike resolution covered questions he did not think were in- volved.

WEAPONS ARE
 STORED IN CRATER

Honolulu, T. H.. Sept. 20.-The weapon storehouse in the immense crater of extinct Haleakala, where the natives of Maui may years ago made their last stand against the all con quering king of Hawaii, has been dis covered, according to Emil A Berndt L, a business man of Honolulu
 Only two others share the secret, ana it is to be kept until a superintendent of the Hawaii National Park is ap- pointed, who can take steps to pre- serve the treasures of the cave.
 The crater of the old volcano was the stronghold of the islanders of Maui. On its brink they had bull. in it's recesses they maintained their arsenal Their defenses, however, proved futile against the advance of Kamehameha the Great, who united the archipelago in the Kinkdom of Hawaii and became it's first ruler.
 In. the decades that have since elapsed, many of the pill boxes' on the crater's lips have been discovered and robbed of weapons found beneath their stone floors.
 MT. Berndt says each of the three white men with knowledge Of the cave stumbled across it while wan dering aimlessly about after losing the way in the crater. He reports that it contains crude stone hatchets, immense quantities of sling shot stones, spear heads and other imple- mentS of ancient warfare.

Wyo-. former student at the University of wyoming, recently entered upon her duties as observer upon the Medicine Bow Peak, as lookout at the highest point occupied by a woman In the Meicine Bow national forest. if not in the Rocky Mountains
 She is the dauhter of A. F. hnoS- ley, & well known mining man of the Centennial district. She was born at Cheyenne but has lived for the last I'll years at Centennial, having spent a part of each summer in that time in the mountains at the foot of which the village of Centennial nestIes.

 This lookout is on the highest point within the Medicine Bow National Forest, ZOOS feet above sea leveland within a small g1aSs-in shelter house, miles away from the nearest mountain resident.

SOCIETY T0M-TOMS HERALD GAYEST SEASON WASHINGTON
 HAS SEEN IN EIGHT YEARS

on armament and Far Eastern affairs
 Lively Season Ahead
 The conference is going to be just as big in most respects as that at Paris, and much bigger in other re- spects. Moreover, the gloom of frightful World War that sucked up millions Of lives and caused untold suffering will not be hanging over Washington as it hung over Paris
 The worlds leading statesmen are going to be here, with their retfnues of aides. assistants. secretaries and associates. They must be entertained. They cannot be allowed to return to Europa with the impression that Washington is a backwoods hamlet on the edge of the prairfes- And the dowagers will see to 1t.
 This fs, however, one large fly in the social swim. This will be the first real social season that Washington has ever undertaken in the absence of the familiar cocktail highbal and champagne There are stocks repos- ing in many dusty cellars, it Is true, but they are not extensive, and they are regarded as almost as precious as madame's dog collar.
 A great deal of reliance in overcon- ing this handicap is being placed in the foreign visitors and rne foreign CTS already here. The embassies and legations can get 1t shipped in under diplomatic permits from the State De- pertinent. It is a pleasant thing to have friend in an embassy. Also, 1t Is anticipated that the visitors will realize the delicacies of the sttuaf ion
 Small Salaries Hit
 There may be considerable groan- ing on the part of many hard-worked and not overfy-wealthy government officials upon whom the money bur den will fall The intiar appropria- ton for the conference by Congress is only $2OO,000, and the actual expense of running the show will eat up that amount and more, it is expected
 Cabinet officers can hardly i've on their salaries in normal times, with the cost of living within reasonable limits Add a little extra entertaining to an existence that is already filled with entertainment, be 1t ever so quietly done. and there has to be dig ging into reserves. As for under of ffciaIs and assistants. their salaries do not pay their servant hire
 It's going to be a heavy winter on private pocketbooks. That Is already clear.
 Not all groans arising in Washing ton this winter are going to be due to losses of ships and armfes-Sorne of 'em are going to come from anguiShe ed pocketbooks.
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1921-09-20

During the six months, the associa- ton said, there were 40 serious acci- dents in civil flying, re<ulttng in the death Of IA persons and the injury of 52, out of a total of 200 commercial aircraft which flew an aggregate of 3,25o, 900 miles.
 All of these accidents except i've the association contended, were due to deficiency in the requisites of safe flying which could be enforced by government regulation. These re- quisites, the association stated. con- sist of a machine sound aerodynarni- cal1y and structural1y; an engine of sufficient power which operates satis- factorfly; air ports and landing fields sufficiently close together to insure gliding to safety; nationwide fore casts specialized and adapted to the needs Of flyers. and nationwide charts of air routes. Government inspection ing these requisites effective, the as- soCiation asserted, would reduce the danger of flying to the minimum.
 Five of the 40 accidents, the as- sociation reported. were due to "un- known causes' and in such cases it added government authority is neces- sary to obtain the information which will permit of learning and correcting such causes.
 Stunt flying. the association con- tinued, was responsible for 50 per cent of the deaths and injuries, but system of government control limit ing this menace to aviation to cer- tain areas, it continued, would gen. era11y overcome it

ADVOCATES FEDERAL
 CONTROL OF AIR

Washington, D. C., Sept. 2o-Devei- opment of commercial flying in this country to a plane of safety cornpar- able to that in rail and water trans portation depends upon government regulation of aviation, according to an analysis of the air-traffic situation prepared for Secretary Hoover by Manufacturers Aidcraft Association
 MT. Hoover has begun a study of the commercial aircraft problem in the light of the possible establishment of a bureau of aviation to regulate travel by air. Legislation before Con gress would put the control of this means of transportation into his de- partment should the Government de- eide federal regulation advisable.
 Lack of federal control, the associa- ton declared, was one of the main causes of accidents in the air which give rise to the belief that flying is extremely dangerous-one of the seyerest handicaps to the development of transportation by air. There Is also lack of official machinery with which to obtain authentic informa- ton relative to- flying accidents.
 However, the association reported. during the first half of 1921 there was but one flying fatality for each 232,- 142 miles flown by civilians and one injury for every 62.50o miles flown

 Washington, Sept. 20.-Unless all signs fail the comin g winter is going to witness the greatest social season Washington has ever had
 their binders removed; the dust Is 60tng chased from corners and creV- fees bong dark, the family plate is 1Htting the attention of housemaids s1rd buffers. and already the beat of the tomtoms can be heard reverbe- atfng through the rarff1ed air of the upper and most exclusive realms StomAc4Ders, dog-collars and ropes Of pearls are being hauled out of the safe deposit vaults. where they have so long reposed- Its going to be a great winter.
 Washington has been socially starved for some six or eight years now. Not since the advent of the wilson's, back in 1913. has there been any social life in Washington worthy of the name. Not any, at least, com mer administrations. Mrs. Wilson was not socially inclined, neither was the President, and, to help them out, the war in Europe came along before their administration was many months old and put the taboo on ex- tensive entertaining.
 Wilson Regime Quiet
 In 1915 the President put his foot down on social life and pointed out that, in view of the thousands that were lying daily on the baitt1efields of France and the universal mourning all over Europe, it i'll behooved Wash ington to lend itself to lavish display.
 Then America entered the war and killed off what little social life had managed to survive the White EIoElSe edfct. It was hoped in many quarters that Washington would get back in the wI1frI after the war, but President Wilson's long absences and later ill., nesses prevented it So the dowagers and "cave- -dweIlers" boarded up their imposing residences, sent their jewels to safe-keeping and hieed away to Bar Harbor, New York, Hot Springs, Palm Beach, Deauvil1e and other places leaving the national capital fiat.
 And now the sun is beginning to peep once more over the sacial horf- > zon. The Wilson's are gone, the Hard ings are in, the war is over; there are still odds and ends of war fortunes that have survived the attacks of the profteers, and, what is more fmpor- tant than all, Washington Is going to be the Capital of the World for a time this winter, with the assembling here of the international conference
