Toledo BLuecOdt Has MOnteR-
tOuS Question to Decide.

TOLEDO. Ohio, July $40 be pro-
prietor of a vast estate in Serbia or a
Toledo bluecoat-whlch?
Joseph Bokan, wagon man at the East
Side station has the question to decide
and so far be seems inclined to stick
TO his police job, for time at least
Bokan is not an-ordinary policeman. He
served IN the intelligence service in the
American Army in France for twenty
two months, and is said to speak seven
languages.
There are three reasons holding Bokan
this side OF the Atlantic, he says-a wife,
baby and a new auto.
He is concerned about the future Of his
son. and he has lived in America so long
that he isn't cheerful about the thought
OF going back to Serbia
Bokan learned about his fortune the
other day when an official document ar
rived from Serbia, telling OF his fathers
death there, and the estate that is to br
divided, between him and his two broth
ers.
1t is an immense agricultural propert,
near Srb. and the letter brought wore
that 10000 dinar already had been offered
for it. Joseph and his brothers are in
-elined to hold out for the million. But
sitter the exchange is figured. the cost Of
transmitting the money, and a reasonable
amount figured for lawyers fees. Bokai
would have just $4,000 in American
money as his share.
Boksn says he isn't pressed sufficiently
for money at this time 10 make the sac
rifee. Besides the wide acres, there Is tho
parental mansion that goes with them
with the big houses Of the servants and
tenantry and retainers and should Bokap
elect 10 do so, he could go back to Ser
bia and be landed proprietor the rest
OF his days.
One OF his brothers is in Serbia and
The other in this country.

NEW YORK, July e.-The cam

ness world Is in full swing through
out the country, and In addition,
many big employers have issued
ukases against tho following:

This was revealed here today by

passes on the fitness of thousands of
girls for office work
There are dozens of office manaE
ers right here in New York who. when
"a girl applies for a position, preface
the usual catechlsm by asking her
to remove her hat" Mrs. Leary said.
''If her compliance disclOses bobbed

for a job are gone.
Girls with vamp costumes furnish
the same objections as those with

FINDS II. s. IS DRY
AS A BLIND PIG
Suedish author in Book on
America Sees No Be1efcence.

NEW YORK. July 9-Dr. Helmer Key,
editor of Svenska Dagbladet Of Stock
holm. toured the United States last year,
and then wrcte a large book entitled
IAN American Journey"
Many extracts have been translated
into English at the instance of the United
States minister to Sweden. Ira Nelson
Morris. and have been received by the
American Scandinavian Foundation in
New York.
Dr. Key finds that American culture is
thus far colonial. copied from England
and the continent.
He warns us that within a few genera
tiOns. if the present waste continues. the
United States will be stripped OF forests.
He condemns motion pictures because
they imperil the spoken drama. Most Of
the dramas he saw acted were. he
thought, too bound by facts.
He crlticises American politics sharply,
finding principles and ideas lacking. He
asked newspaper men, politicians and
many others TO define the basic difference
between the two great political parties
but was not able to learn of any dis
tinetion in political ideas and locals.
He concludes that the Republican and
Democratic parties are not political par
ties but merely mass parties whose
members rally around certain leaders and
care little or nothing for political prR-
ciples.
The effects Of national prohibition i'm
pressed him favorably during his first
days here. He thought the law was be-
Ing enforced marvelously.
But he soon changed his mind about
the effectiveness Of prohibition enforce
ment, its practicability and benefits. He
discovered that any one who had the
price could get all the liquor he wanted
and that the poorer classes. workmen,
who, he felt. needed stimulus 10 tighten
their toll. either had to 90 without liquor
CT pay exorbitant prices for poisonous
stuff
In his journey across the country he
became acquainted with various ornamen-
tai liquor receptacles. such as silver hip
TASKS, cigarette and spectacle cases
which never contained either cigarettes
or sPectacles and opera glass cases. all
containing excellent liquor
Economically DR.. Key found nothing
to indicate the benefits of a dry United
States. He concludes that the claims Of
the anti-liquor forces that the farmers now
spend their money for furs and fine
clothes for their wives, and that other
workers are increasing their savings &C
counts. are spurious, and that all these
hypothesis as to what wOrkmen buy and
fail TO buy as a result Of prohibition are
rather unreliable and wanton."

sary to pump vast quantities of water
from the Columbia into the bore to
cool the rocks and wash out an accum-
ulation of gas. The latter was appar-
emily generated by the action of the
furnace-like heat on the basalt. The
gas was so severe that men, who at.
