He studied large balloons such as the R3s and q mum Der of giant Zeppelin dirigibles. His observations were entirely technical and not within the understanding of the average American, he said.
 MT. Warner refused to make any statements as to his opinion of ecen- omlc and social conditions in the Flu ropean countries. He said his visit was too short in each place for him 10 make very many observations Bat Berlin. he stated, wouldn't give the traveller an idea that there had been a war recently, although he had been told by visitors to rural German dis tricts that the suffering in many plac- es was very pronounced.
 The condition in France. MT. War ner described as terrible. Espe- ciallv at the Verdun battlefield were things in most devastated eondi- tion. On this scene of recent battles he said human bones were lying on the ground. At one place was the "bavonet trench" where French sol- diers. awaiting the signal to battle with bayonets erect, had been buried alive when a she'll covered them with dirt. Over the bayonets which still stand in place has been erected by a rich American cement roof for pro tection.
 Mir and Mrs. Warner left for Eng land April l2. From England they flew to Paris by aeroplane They con tinued 10 Berlin through the French battlefelds: then to Munich and later Switzerland. where they climbed the Junpfrau.

SUSPEND WEBSTER
 POLICE CAPTAIN Canty, Well Known For Efhci- ent Service, Charged With
 Taking Bribe Pleads Poverty MortRased Home and Ten Children

Patrick F. Canty. chief of police of Webster and well known in Putnam. was Monday night suspended by the Webster Board of Selectmen. as the result of charges brought against him by the district attorney and state police. The charges concerned the alleged taking of $200 in money by Csnty from q whiskey runner on the Thompson road. June Is. The sns- pension. however. is merely a formal ity for Canty will never again be chief of police, unless his name is cleared.
 According to the Webster Times. Canty says of his suspensions T haven't $50 to my name. \ mort gagged home and family of ten chil- dren are my assets, It is not difficult to spread stories and make yelled ac- cusations, yet l want the citizens of Webster to know that never took one cent, nor received any money while chief of the department
 The Times says of Canty: Great ed chief of police from a patrolman. his was an appointment of merit. He made such an excellent record as a patrolmaH. particularly in cleaning up slackers. that he compelled atten- ton when the appointment of q chief was made There were other eandi- dates, many with strong backing, yet the appointment of Canty in 1920 was generally acclaimed as a good one
 "The results obtained fully Yindi- eated the Judgment of the selectmeu. apparently. He immediately installed system of clocks, and a method whereby a policeman could be seeur- ed at any time. He devised q method of having police protection in the business district at all times He add ed a motorcycle to the force to pre- vent speeding He was generally ae- claimed as the right man in the right place
 His ability in getting his man was regarded as little short of un- canny, and not only himself but the entire police force became a real body. His ability as an officer attracted much attention and the rank and file of the people of the town felt proud of him.
 The Times continues: The fact that the entire affair was a frameur to land Canty is generally admitted by those familiar with the details. but this does not in the least excuse the head of the department for yielding to temptation. in the minds of the cit izens. Some of the interesting details of this trap may never come to light. but those who are on the inside say that they are at least interesting. y

ALL FOURTH-CEASS P0STMASTERS MUST
 STAND EXAMINATION
By Associated Press

Washington, May 25.-( (SpeciaD-In regard to innumerable petitions ad- dressed to members of Congress from southern tsates by postmasters in fourth H class offices recently elevated to the presidential class, Will Hays, postmaster general made it known to- day that all such postmasters would be subject to the civil service exami- nation. The postmasters in question secured their jobs as result of exami- nations but their claims will not be recognized. In a few instances MT. Hays said incumbents would be pro- noted without examination if the president so desired. It is understood that those promoted will be republi- cans. In as much as the president has the option of selecting his appointee from the three scoring the highest marks in examination, it is not regard ed as likely that any Of the democratic incumbents will be reappointed.
 Congressmen are writing their in- cufrers today that they are fuil of re- gret but powerless to circumvent the inevitable. Practically all the incum- rents by arduous toll increased busi- ness sufficiently to warrant the eleva- ton of their offices to the presidential class. Their reward will be decapl- tation.

VALUE OF THE SWEET
 POTATO IS STRESSED

Auburn May Special )-"If the sweet potato storage industry is de- veloped with due regard to proper business methods, and attention given to the requirements for successful storage as laid down by the Alabama extension service. and an effort made to develop the market through adver- Using, demonstrations and otherwise, there is little chance for 'over-deveI- opment' of the business" says R. c. Briggs, sweet potato specialist of the Alabama extension service.
 Continuing, Mir. Briggs thinks there will be ventures which will not sue ceed, due to various causes such as bad business methods and improper methods of storage, but these should not effect the general programme of development any more than one bank failure effects the whole banking busi- ness.
 Realizing that Standardization of sweet potatoes and sweet potato prod ] ucts is now one of the biggest prob Iems confronting the industry MT. Briggs recommends that the commer- cta. industry be fostered on tha JargL individual, company, or co-operatiye ownership basis large enough to re- duce the overhead and standardize the products while small individual opera tors look more to the local mark @ s for the sale of their potatoes.
 During the last few years tho swat potato industry in Alabama has made a very rapid development and with new markets being opened up each year. it is thought that 1t has a vArv prom islng future.
