for 2OO-page book, but also printed
the pages on a little hand press, and
bound the volumes. Doctor See was a

many years was superintendent of the

Karl Stecher, twenty, of Wichita
artist and educator, chose to pursue
what he claims always has been his

by Mr.. Stecher, recently was displayed
in the show window of a Wichita bank.
1t includes specimens obtained by him
on his travels through six countries
Switzerland, France, Italy, Turkey,
Canada and the United States.

This picture caused Larry Keegan's
arrest
When Superintendent Lewis of the
Yosemite National park heard that
Keegan had gone to Overhanging Rock
at Glacier point and climbed over the
side, he sent ranger, who pulled Kee-
gan out of bed and yanked him down
to park headquarters for a sermon
that made it plain that another such
offenst would result in his election
from the park.
You are an athlete and get away
with such STUNT Mr.. Lewis said.
But you are setting an example to
somebody else who would be killed.
Anybody attempting death in that way
will be arrested
Keegan, Who is from Butte, Mont,
had two friends hold a rope while he
climbed out over eternity. Evidently
he didn't believe in signs, for he dis
regarded an official sign near the rock
which reads:

ne undertaken to meet you. Take 10
chances There is difference be-
tween bravery and just plain ordinary
fooishness."

New Species Of Melon,
Yellow and Green, Is
Shipped to The Journal

A Georgia product that was shaped
like a watermelon; of about the size
of watermelon; with stem like
watermelon, and with an interior that
seemed very good watermelon-arriV-
ed at The Journal office Saturday
morning by parcel post
Feeling it in the dark, anybody
would swear that it was watermel-
on. But you ought to see it!
It has a surface that hints Of a
strange kinship with a pumpkin and
perhaps a peach. Half of it is a
bright golden yellow, like a choice
alberta. This yellow part is ribbed
The other half of the surface is
watermelon green, with variations
Near the large end of the green
half is a bright yellow spot, like a
full moon in the midst of a twilight
sky. Sprinkled through the green
part are little yellow dots that
"scintillate like stars"
Before the strange fruit was open
ed, clue to the mystery was found
in a pile of mail which lay on the
desk near the freak pumpkin-peach-
melon. It was letter from Arthur
w. Minor, a merchant at Oconee, Gd.
His explanation was as follows:
''This is known as moon and star
melon. 1t grows real large, but since
I send by parcel post I picked a
smaller one. Ordinarily they have a
more perfect moon than the one l
sent you, and they are covered with
small stars You will find it the best
eating melon to be had, and it is of
the early prolific kind. 1t is a good
variety for shipping, as the rind is
firm, and it will keep longer than
the average melon. These melons
are raised by Mr.. Jack Bridges, of
Oconee, Ga"
In his Exclamation, Mr.. Minor did
not call the freak fruit a watermelon,
you notice. But the one he sent to
The Journal office did not keep long
it lie like Waternelon. all right!

NET EARNINGS
SHOW BIG JUNE INCREASE
j. s. DISARMAMENT
VIEW IS ACCEPTED

| WASHINGTON, July 30.-Secre-
tary Hughes and Sir Auckland Ged-
des, the British ambassador, spent
more than an hour in conference to-
day, discussing, it is understood. the
details which must be arranged
prior to the delivery of formal invi-
tations to the proposed conference
on the limitation of ornaments and
the Far East.
No official report of their CONVEX
sation was afforded, but it was said
that the British government prob
ably would not insist further upon
preliminary conference and would
not interpose any serious objection
to having the conference convened
early in November.
It also developed during the day
that the French government is not
adverse to November IL, the ami
versary Of Armistice day, as the date
for the first meeting, and that unof-
ficially, Italy, Japan and China have
Indicated their willingness to accept
that date. 1t had been suggested
that the French desired a later date,
but that was understood to have
Silesian question, a difficulty which
in the light Of Premier Lloyd
Georges statement today at Thame,
England, may soon be removed.
Satisfaction with recent develop
ments was expressed by officials and
there were indications that the invi-
tations would be sent out early next
week. The unofficial, but none the
less authoritative declarations that
the United States opposes prelimin-
airy conferences and especially par
leys participated in by any number
less than the full number of the in
vited powers are believed to have
forestalled further efforts in that
direction.
The United States government and
others invited to confer are expected
to design the general scope of the
conference, determining to a certain
extent the character Of the agenda
by means of an exchange of views
either made directly by their diplo-
matte representatives or by COM
munications, but the United States,
it has been made plan, does not
propose to be a party to any move
ment which has for it's obpect the
laying down of hard and fast rules.
1t is expected that the final defi-
milton of the agenda and the dter-
mination of the scope of the confer
ence will take place at the early
meetings of the main conference.
