LONDON, April IA new way Of

these are now at work building more

The present method Of dealing with

fired when the cloud Of locusts ap-

Public Matrimo onial Agencies

IAN air oficer In order to lind out
tho maximum stress on turn recently
carried out the most violent series Of
turns possible over camera obscura.
The turns were 50 violent that he be-
came unconscious and lost control Of
the machine. He recovered conscious
ness before striking the ground, hat-
tened out, and landed.
According to calculations from the
charts the maximum load was AS
gravity. Some one questioned the ac-
curacy Of this, whereupon he repeated
the turns, again became unconscious
and again managed to recover and fat-
ten out before crashing. The load was
4.5 gravity, according to the charts.
"Another officer, in discussion with
a designer, pointed out that the eleva-
tor was weak and could be broken in a
tail slide. This was denied, whcreupon
the officer took up the machine, made n
violent tail slide, broke the elevator,
and yet managed to land safely"

Milkmaid. Eager to Excel
Man - Mixer, Adds Water

From The Tribune's EssroDsdn Bureau
LONDON. April ia sad tale of
misplaced ambition was told in the
Croydon police court recently.
J. E. Gallop, Of Aymas Farm. Fay
gate, Sussex, had been summoned for
consigning to Croydon milk containing
56 per cent Of added water. 1t was
pointed out that the percentage of
added water was SO ridiculous that in
territorial fraud scarcely could be con-
ceived. The defendant said that he had
nothing to do with it, rs the milk came
from q farm which was not hie, and
tho milk merely had been consigned to
him.
investigation proved that = girl Of
thirteen, employed 5as . milkmaid on
the farm, had been 80 ambitious to
prove that she was q bettar mixer than
the men employed at the same task
that she had sdded the water.
The case was withdrawn.

Cigar Busin eys in England

From Tho 7'1bune's Enropeam BuredM
LONDON, April 16.-England's high
tariff, put in force to protect the local

number Of cigars sent from Cuba to
England fell from 4,354,777 in 1919 to
$4,000 in 1920. England's tariff is

boosted the prices here so that the

out that this situation is seriously af-

Excursions Along Coast
Limited Because Of Mines

From The TribAne's Europeaw Buyenu
LONDON, April l6.-Summer holiday
trips along the English coast this com
ing season will be curtailed due to the
danger from floating mines, numbers
Of which are constantly appearing and
being washed up along the beaches.
The Board Of Trade has announced
that in the North Sea and the English
Channel east of Selsey Bill there will
be the following restriction on excur-
sion steamers:
Excursions will be run during the
daytime only.
Visibility must not be less than two
miles and anchorage in foggy weather
or in the run Of the stream will be
forbidden.
Vessels will not be allowed to run
more than Ave miles from the coast.
Certificates will be issued by the
board only on condition that passen-
gers are notified that there is an ele-
ment Of risk owing TO the danger Of
colliding with floating mines.
instructions have been given that in
all waters an "extra good lookout must
be kept for mines"
Vast mine fields were laid by the
German mine-laying submarines all
along the English coast during the war
The English laid counter mine fields,
and after the war was over these Eng
lish mines were carefully swept up
But there were no charts available tc
show whore the Germans had dropped
their mines, and it is possible even
now that all the parts Of the various
fields have not been fully swept. Hun
tireds Of mines broke adrift and these
are constantly appearing. They are
an ever-present source of danger to
the fishing fleets, and many trawlers
have been lost In mine explosions since
the war. There Is no way Of telling
whether there 10 mine in the tTawl

British Museums "Unlucky
Mummy" Is on View Again

From The Tribune's European Bureau
LONDON, April 1s.--Mrs. Amen-Ra
is out again, but SO far nothing has
happened.
Mrs. Amen-R Ra, more properly called
"The Lady Of the College Of Amen Ra, y
is the famous "unlucky mummy" in the
British Museum. It Is said that whoever
looks ON her will be pursued by
misfortune and often meet. speedy
death Superstitious persons, carefully
avoiding the Egyptian rooms at the
British Museum, tell rnany stories Of
their misfortunes that have come upon
those who looked into the mummy's
face.
During the winter the gallery where
the mummy is placed was closed to- the
public and was used only by the Reg
istrar of Friendly Societies. Now the
public is again admitted, and many
daring Londoners have gone there for
the. thrill Of risking the lady's magic.
w. +. Stead once stated that from
the impressions he had gained of the
lady's nature in communications from
her spirit any attempt TO move the
mummy would bring disaster upon the
whole collection.

Commons Bills Suggested
Submitted to Referendum
In postwar legislation, however, and
notably with regard to Ireland, the real
voice of Liberalism has been found
not in the Commons but in the Second
Chamber. Consideration of this fact
has led The Spectator, conservative
weekly of the highest standing, to offer
to the Unionist party it's suggestions
as to the form which the new House
of Lords reform bill should take.
The cardinal point Of The Spectators
scheme is to give the House of Lords
the power Of submitting Commons bills
(other than money hills) to a referen-
dunn of the people, if the Commons re.
fuse to accept the Lords amendments.
Furthermore, bills would go to the ref
erendam, even if both houses had ap-
proved them, upon petition of 200 or
more members Of the House of Com
mons. The present membership is $40.
This" remarks The Spectator,
meets the objection that the House Of
Lords would pass Unionist bills, while
sending all-important Labor and Lib
sral bills to referendum" q
