The latest report from the three
men in a boat" who visited Augusta
during the past summer on their
journey from Pictou, N. S., to Pana-
ma, is that they have left New York
on<another lap of their, journey. The
Boston American of last Saturday
contained a picture of the three navi-
gators and the little craft, the Pictou.
which left Pictou, N. S., May II last.
Under the picture was the following
inscription: "a running sea and a
wet sail are all that these three
hardy mariners ask-for they have
left New York on another lap of
their journey from Pictou, N. S., to
Panama in an attempt to win a prize
of $4,000, for which five other boats
of the same type are competing The
little craft which is dory and only
16 feet overall, looked in on Boston
during its first lap to New York.
The little sail does not always pro-
pei them and the young sailors have
toughened hands to show for many
an hours work with the oars"

Sunlight Makes
Clothes Wear Out

All clothes wear out through ex-
posure to sunlight air, rain, mechani-
cal strain and bacterial action, says
Textile Chemist" In the London
Daily Mail OF these. sunlight is by
far the most harmful. Hence, clothes
not in use should be stored in the
dark.
But light is selective in it's action.
A dark fabric is less affected than
one which is brightly colored. So that
Briton's love for drab- -colored
clothing cannot entirely be con-
demned.
Moreover, red and yellow light are
less destructive than the blue, violet
and ultraviolet light.
Not all fabrics are affected alike,
for while wool and silk rapidly de-
teriorate in strong sunlight, cotton
and linen are much more resistant.
In spite of this, however, it would
not be economical to use all cotton
clothing. since colors fade more rap
idly on cotton than on wool. When a
dyed woolen fabric is exposed to sun
light, the fabric is attacked first and
the dye is thereby partly protected.
In the cotton fabric the dye protects.
the cotton.
A coarse dress material is more re-
sistant than fine one to sunlight
Clothes are not much affected by
pure rain and air. In manufacturing
towns. however, the atmosphere is
often slightly acid, and it is then par
ticularly destructive to wool.
Some. fabrics are most susceptible
to certain kinds of microbes, and
these flourish best under warm and
moist conditions. Clothes wear bet.
ter when they are frequently brushed
free from dust.
Cotton and woolen fibres are very
elastic and strong. They can with
stand a great deal of rubbing. $50
that generally it is not until clothes
have suffered from exposure to sun
light that they fail to resist the
strains caused by ordinary wear.

Police Believe
 Roenler Belongs
 To Thieves Gang

With the arrest this morning of a man who gave his name as Nathan Roemer of 64 West 115th street, New York City, the police believe that they have captured at least one member of a gang of thieves which recently New York postal stations. Roemer is now being held without bonds for the Federal authorities, and more ar rests are expected to be made.
 The local post office received notice of the New York robbery, on April 6, and immediately sent out circula rs to local merchants, requesting them to be on the lookout for money orders bearing certain serial numbers.
 This morning Roemer made a pur- chase in Caesar Misch's store in Main street, and in payment offered a money order for s75. The number on the order was noted one which had been named in the post office cir the store until the authorities could be informed of his case. He was placed under arrest by Traffic Officer John J Keegan, and is now being held at police headquarters for the Federal authorities.
 Roemer is said to have been stop ping with a friend at the Stratfield hotel, but when the police visited his room the friend was absent. It is expected that the man foreSaw the trouble and made his departure just tie was said about the case at police headquarters but it is reported that none of the other missing money or derS have been recovered.

MAY INVOLVE MEN PLACED
 "HIGHER UP''

Sensational evidence against men '"higher up'' may be brought out to- day in the Federal court in Detroit, during the trial of James G. Bur roughs, of Long Hill, who will be ar raiSned on charges of automobile stealing. United States Attorney Walter I. Mckenzie, last week assur- ed the court that he has evidence which may involve several prominent persons, and the cards may be placed on the table today when Burroughs takes the stand in his own defense.
 Important parts of the. defense will be the submittance of IS dispositions sworn to by local policemen and pri- vate citizens. and the cross examina- ton of A1nfon c. Basden. formerly or Bridgeport, who was recently sentenc- ed to two years ill the penitentiary for his part in the intentional auto thief plot. During q direct examina- ton last week, Basden claimed that Detective Sergeant Frank w. Hol- brook, of the local police received a $500 bribe from Burroughs. Thls charge was emphaticalIy denied by HoIbrook. r It is probable that Holbrook and other Bridgeport policemen will be called to Detroit to testify.
 Federal authorities are still search ing for a Miss Josephine Clark. for nerly a waitress of 76 Williams street who is wanted in connection with the
