prediction that unless radical relief
measures are taken there would be at
least 100000 pellagra victims this
year and that ten per cent would die.

ed bandits robbed the bank of South
Jacksonville, across the st. Johns
river, of thirty-five hundred dollars
shortly before ten o'clock today. The
bandits, whom bank officials said ap-
parently were foreigners. drove up to
the bank in a touring car, left the
motor running with one man at the
wheel and five entered the bank.
There were no customers in the place
and while three of the bandits covered
the bank employees the other two
gathered up all the cash in sight.
After the robbery the bandits entered
the car and reports indicate they
crossed the highway bridge into Jack

FROGS DO NOT RAIN
DOWN BUT CLIMB UP

Gainesville, july 27.-No frogs fell
from the sky here last Thursday night
and Friday morning and so far as
local experts on 'sfrogology" have
beer able to ascertain, such phe-
nomenon never has occurred any,
where else.
It rained heavily here and the
presence of thousands of small frogs
hopping about Friday morning after
the downpour resulted in the sending
out of news stories to the effect that
it had raised frogs.
The Smithsonian Institution, at
Washington. and other authorities,
declare that the presence of multi
tudes of small froga after heavy
rains often results in reports that
frogs have fallen from the clouds but
that the idea is all wrong.
The frogs were there before the
downpour, hidden in cracks and crew
ices of the earth. An unusually heavy
rain simply floods their hiding places
and they are forced to abandon them
and come out into the open or drown,

TRACES OF OIL
REPORTED NEAR BUSHNELL

Bushnell, July 26.-S. S. Stephens,
a truck farmer, whose place is five
miles north of this town. in the direc-
ton of Panasoffkee, struck oil in two
places on his farm today while drill
ing for water, he claims, and after an
attempt was made to "bring in" flow
of oil in the smaller of the two wells
with charge of -glycerine, a
vein of natural gas was tapped which
is flowing tonight in considerable
volume. The coil strike" has caused
a deal of excitement.
Mr.. Stephens, who brought samples
of the oil taken from the two wells
to Bushnell tonight, tells the story of
the finding. of oil as follows:
81 was not boring for oil, but for
water to irrigate my farm" he said.
Indeed, had no idea of striking oil
or gas. One of the wells was being
drilled with an ordinary well-boring
rig and we were sinking an inch and
a quarter pipe when we began to
bring up an odd-looking seil resem-
bling asphalt. Then we struck a
pocket of oil. which we brought up.
Other small pockets of oil followed.
At depth of sixty feet we struck
oiI-bearing shale.
cat the same time we were clearing
out an old six-inch well which had
caved in. Drilling down in this we
struck oil sand and oil. It is on an
other part of the farm.
"We tried our hand at shooting
the small well. The charge blew out
a quantity of oil and then a flow Of
gas ensued. 1t is flowing, this gas
night. 1 don't know whether oil i:
there in paying quantity. The small
well is only sixty feet deep, the large
one ninety-five feet down."
Mr.. Stephens stated that he expect
ed to enlist capital sufficient to gC
down 1900 or 1000 feet where, it i.
hoped, oil will be found in quantity
and a flow obtained-perhaps a rea

BOOZE HAS FAILED TO
BUILD UP CUBAN BUSINESS

Havana, July 27.-Signs of Cuba's
business and financial depression are
evident to the most casual observer.
Three big banks, with scores of
branches, are closed. The parks are
full of idlers. Stores are blazoning
what they call bargain sales," with
goods marked down sometimes as
much as five per cent from mid-war
prices, which is the Spanish merch-
ants idea of sacrificing profits.
The papers are full of the govern
mental plans for buying 100000 tons
of surplus sugar at price that will
save producers and dealers from ruin,
for re-establishing banking facilities
that will relieve the pressing scarcity
of currency, for cutting the cost of
running the government from $104,-
100000 to about $60,0O0,000 year
and for reducing the cost of living.
Politicians within reaching distance
of the political plum basket are dog
ged day and night by swarms of job
hunters. Hundreds of stocky Gale
gos, the transient laborers from across
the Atlantic, are struggling in from
the sugar plantations and walking the
streets, waiting for ships to take them
back to Spain.
Tenants, with Latin enthusiasm,
are organizing 'Dont Pay Rent" cam
paigns until landlords come down. to
the 1914 scale and the government
forces the cost of primary necessi-
ties dowr couple of hundred per
cent.
Out of the hooks and corners where
they have lived on the bounty of rela-
tives since the war sent sugar sky
high and started a flood of gold into
Cuba, they are coming-tapping
canes, propelling wheeler chairs. fol-
lowing dogs, being led by children OF
hopping on crutches-the beggars are
coming to town.

DOES RUSSIA WANT AMERICAS
FRIENDSHIP

Washington, July PA formal de-
mand for the release of American
prisoners in Russia has been made on
the soviet authorities by Secretary
Hughes. The state department was
advised today that the communication
was handed to the soviet representa-
tives at Reval yesterday. The text
of the communication has not been made
public. Itsis understood. however, to
be brief insistence that Americans
be released before there can be any
thought of better relations between
the United States and Russia. This
action was taken in the name of hu-
manity and because all efforts to Sc
cure the release of Americans made
through DIR. Hansen. of the Red Cross,
have failed. What course will be
taken by the United Sttaes if the So
Wet authorities ignore or refuse to
accede to the demand is not indicated.
