Boy "PoIicemanm Gets Results.

Bill Zerbe, formerly of Indianapolis,
is motorcycle policeman in the Lo-
gansport police department. Both the
young and old know Bill because of
his record as tanner of speeders.
A few days ago the driver of an
automobile permitted the motor of his
machine to run while he went into a
store. When he came out he found
a piece of paper in the front seat of
the car. On the paper were these
words: "You are pinched for permit
ting the engine of your machine to
run over is minutes. Bill Zerbe."
The driver of the car went to po-
lice headquarters to pay his fine and
exhibit the evidence that he had been
caught. On being assured that the
paper presented had not been pre-
pared by Zerbe, the driver of the ma
chine recalled that he had seen q
small boy with broad grin on his
face standing near when he started
toward the police station.-Indianapo-

Electricity to Locate Metal.

The idea of using current trans
/mitted through the earth as a means
Of locating metal ores is familiar, the
belief being that the greater conduc-
tivity Of these metalliferous regions can
be clearly indicated, and the area
mapped out, says the Scientific Ameri-
can. The location Of Oil deposits,
which according to the Electrical Re-
view is now being investigated cleo
trically, presents converse problem.
In this case the insulating properties
Of the OIL diminish the current, and
oil-bearing regions are detected ac-
cordingly. In view Of the great depth
to which 1t is often necessary to bore
for oil-oil that only exists simulta-
neously with an almost oil-free area
ab0ve-the method would seem to
have limitations, but It has doubtless
possibilities In dealing with surface oil
areas.

BIG TREE YIELDED TO AGE
Chestnut In Which Washington 10
Said to Have Hidden colIapses
at Yonkers, New Fork.

Maybe there's no truth in the ira
dition that George Washington once
hid in the hollow trunk of the great
chestnut tree that until recently stood
in the front yard Of Charles F. Coy,
Yonkers. New York. But folk there
about believe he did. just as they be-
lieve that the tree was 700 or 800
years old when II died few years
ago. and was the oldest and biggest
tree, of any variety not only in West
chester county but In New York state.
The trunk, which was about 35 feet
tall and about 35 feet in circumfer-
ence, according to Mr.. Coy, was cut
down by the department of public
works of Yonkers, and its dismem-
bered remains carted away. Said Mr..
Coy:
Before 1t died that tree produced
the biggest and sweetest-tasting
chestnuts ever saw. After It's death
a vine that covered 1t made 1t still
an object of beauty, just as Its vast
size and age made 1t an object of ad-
miratfon.
"The top was broken Off about the
time 1t died. / never knew it's exact
height. But I do know that deal
Of tradition had grown up around
1t and that 1t commonly was rated the
largest tree in this part Of the country.
I am sure 1t was the biggest in this
county"

TO DESTROY INSECT PESTS
for Successful Protection of

Do not waste your time spraying
paris green on insects that suck the
juices from plants and foliage, such
as lice, green, black and whi,e aphis

by thrusting their prohoscis into the
leaf or stem. for they are not affect
ed by stomach poisOns. They must
be destroyed by contact Insecticides.
Those i'm powder form kill by clos
ing the breathing pores in the insects
skin, or in fluid form ny being alb
sorbed through these pores. the Amer
lean Forestry Magazine points out
The hest contact insecticides in pow
der form are hellebore, slug shot and
tobacco dust. The best in fluid form
are aphine. black leaf 40, fish (whale)

kerosene, miscble oil and lemon oil.
Insects that eat plants, foliage, vege-
tables, fruits, flowers, etc, whether
bugs, beetles. worms, caterpillars or
slugs are more quickly and effectu-
ally destroyed with a poisonous sto-
machic insecticide such as arsenate Of
lead, paris green or hellebOre. These,
If applied according to directions, are
so diluted as to be harmless to vege-
tation and to animal life. Less poi

ciated Press) Demonstrations In
Munich against high prices and al

Bavarian authorities, participateds
in last night by 10000 people, are
announced in messages from Mum

and soldiers without serious trou-
Bile. The demonstration is describ-
ed as being aimed in particular at
Premier Kahr and Chief of Police
Poehner.
When the first news that the
demonstration was brewing reach
ed Berlin, fear was expressed that
the Bavarian government faced a
serious crisis as the radical parties
are we'll organized and reported to
be in a determined mood. The au-
thorities had forbidden the demon

the practicability of producing and

ACTION ON DEBS TO
WAIT UNTIL TREATY
HAS BEEN RATIFIED
(By The Associated Press.i

Washington, Aug. 27.--No deci-
sion regarding a pardon for Eu-
gene V. Debs, or a general amnesty
for prisoners convicted under war
time laws will be reached by Presi-
dent Harding until the peace
treaty with Germany has been rat
flied, it was stated today at the
White House.
The presidents position was
made known after conference
with Attorney General Daugherty,
who has made an exhaustive lnves-
tigation of the case of the socialist
leader and of others imprisoned for
war law Violations. 1t is Under
stood the attorney general mani
tested a readiness to submit a rec
ommendation based on the legal
status of the Debs case but that
the president indicated he would
rather not take any steps until
after ratification of the peace
| treaty.
The fact that the question was
discussed. at length by the presi'
dent and attorney general today
was taken as an indication that the
general amnesty asked for by wal
time prisoners was matter oi
serious consideration on the part oi

MEXICAN CUSTOM

Apprehension Of Bandits Is

Nogales, Ariz. Aug. 27.-MeXi-
can fiscal agents are hunting for
the seven bandits who killed Post
master Frank Pearson and his wife
at Ruby Ariz., yesterday, accord
ing to an announcement made to-
day by F. j. Dyer, American con-
sui at Nogales, Sonora. The ban
dts, who were reported to have
been Mexicans, are believed to
have gone back into Mexico after
killing Mr.. and Mrs. Pearson and
robbing the postoffice and store at
Ruby, three miles north of the in
ternational boundary,
Mr., Dyer made his announce
ment following q conference with
Gen. Carlos Plank, commander Of
the fiscal guard in Sonora, whose
headquarters are in Magdalena.
General Plank told Mr.. Dyer that
he had number of his men. who
correspond to the customs guards
in the United states, hunting for
the bandits.
Lieut.. r. d. Knapp, a United
States army flier of the Twelfth
aero squadron, stationed here. re-
turned this afternoon from a flight
over Ruby and along the border.
He said he had seen no sign OF the
bandits, but did see q party Of
deputy sheriffs and others near the
line on the American side. He
said they had bloodhounds with
them.
Lieutenant Knapp said he rec
ognized one of the men in the
posse as Bird Yoas of Tubuc. and
he assumed that Sheriff George j,
White of Santa Cruz county had
gathered up several ranchers in the
vicinity of Tubuc and Pima Blanca
to send in pursuit Of the bandits.
The flier could not make a land
ing at Ruby but he did land at the
Bernard ranch, not far from the
village. He was unable to learn

Government Apprehensiye in

of Bavarian Situation
Where Labor Is Uneasy,

Berlin, Aug. q tby the Associate
ed Press. 1.-The government has
visibly been disconnected over the
possible effects of two events which
occurred Friday, both of which
were wholly unexpected--the mur-
der in Baden of Matthias Erzberger,
former vice chancellor, and minis
ter Of finance, and demonstrations
in Munich against high prices and
the alleged reactionary methods OF
the Bavarian authorities.
The assassination of Herr Erz-
berger, which is viewed here as an
abhorrent political murder, and tba
situation in Munich are regarded 10
having the aspects Of storm signaA
the results of which cannot be forS~
told at this hour. The governments
has given public expression of its
repugnance at the killing OF the
former vice chancellor who not
only was a personal friend of Chan
eellor Wirth, but also was a close
party colleague of the chancellor.
Herr Erzberger generally was
counted as attached TO the left wing
of the clerical party, in opposition
to former Chancellor Fehrenbach,
Or, Peter SPAIN and other CEN
terist veterans, who never discuss
cd their political differences with
Herr Erzberger.
