CAVE MAN MAY
BE'BLUE BEARD
OF MOUNTAINS

HAyERSTRAW, n. Y, May 9.-Belief
that the caveman who killed pretty LII
Ian White on lonely mountain top near
here. was a blue beard" who had lured
other girls to his primitive trysting place
was expressed by police today.
This theory was based upon bundles
Of ardent love letters from girls all over
the country found In the cave.
Many Of these love letters were from
girls Of the Middle West. Numerous
notes upbraided the cave man for his ne
elect and for his attentions to other wo-
men.
Betty" girl OF Middle Western city,
wrote When are you coming again 70
love u.s." 1t was decorated with many
crosses, indicating kisses sent to the
many sided lover of the mountain cave.
Other Betty letters upbraided the
mountain dweller for neglect. in an
swering love notes.
That some OF these letter writer's may
have been lured to the secret cave, aud
may have met fate similar to Lillian's,
was given credence when police learned
from a former acquaintance Of the cave
man, that he openly boosted OF love
affairs with many women.
The cayeman was interested In the oc
cult, was highly educated and fanatically
religious. police say. after reading
through many books found In the cave.
His mystic words concerning the occult
charmed women, police believe. and led
them on to their intrigues In the noun
tain cave.

FARM BLOCB
ATTEMPTINGm
MAKE PROGRAM
Financial Help of Government
Object of Group of
Legislators.

WASHINGTON, May 9.-Far- reaching
changes in the financial structure Of the
country to meet the pre-war needs of ag-
riculture was the object of meeting Of
the bi partisan farm bloc. Senator Cap
per, of Kansas, chairman Of the bloc,
with representatives here Of the leading
farm organizations.
This powerful group has as its purpose
the enactment, as soon as possible, of
legislation providing intermediate cred
its for the farmers.
Out of numerous bills now before Con-
gress, the group aims to develop legisla-
ton behind which they can throw their
united strength. Under that condition,
they have little doubt Congress will re-
spond as soon as possible.
Numerous proposals before the group
call both new agencies and continuation
of existing agencies. The Lenroot bill,
embodying the recommendations of the
Joint Commission of Agricultural In
quiry, proposes to make the Federal
Farm Loan Board the means to the end.
1t would authorize the board to buy az
ricultural paper, giving 1t power to sell
debenrures or bends on the open mar
ket in order to raise funds to make loans
on livestock and agricultural commodities
Senator Simons of North Carolina,
Democrat leader of the Finance Commit
tee. proposes on he other hand to set up
a new agency, called the International
Finance Corporation. with a revolving
fund of S50o,000,0o0 to make loans direct
to farmers and farmers cooperative assoc
Citations. Senator Norheck of South Da-
kota advocates similar plan in ac-
cordance with the wishes OF the Farmers
National Union.
Br. Capper advocates tho establishment
of Federal livestock finance corporation
rs subsidiary of the Federal Farm Loan
Board to take care of loans to cattle men.
While he would have such plan operate
for two years. he would make permanent
change in the Federal Reserve System
to enable the participating banks TO take
up loans on agricultural commodities in
Guiding livestock.
The modification of existing financial
methods is, in the opinion of Mr.. Capper,
the most important legislative question
before Congress at this time.

WEATHER AND BALD HEADS

Four men wearing toupees dropped
into the National Vaudeville asso-
cations clubhouse one day last
week. A discussion started about
badness in which two others, seven
tenths bereft of their original
thatches, joined.
"I've got sure remedy" said
one. Il sleep with an icebag on my
head. No one ever heard of an
Eskimo or an animal in the Arctic
region without an abundance of
hair. The icebag has got mine COM
ing"
Nothing in that a-tall, a-tall, !"
said the other. 'gThe thing to start
a new crop on a bald head is the
hot water bag with frequent coat
ings of sweet oil. Down in the At
rican bush, where a thermometer
would melt if it were not made Of
glass, bald heads are as rare as ici-
cles, l keep the hot water bag busy
and the result surprises me-"
So there you are.

NEW TWISTING MACHINE

A new twisting machine for the
textile industry has been invented
by Norwegian factory owner, ac-
cording to a report from Consul
General Alban c. Snyder of Chris
tiania. The main principle of the
new invention, in contrast to older
types, is that the bobbins rotate
simultaneously with the spOols re-
ceiving the spun thread, causing the
twisting of both ends (said never
to have been accomplished before)
which gives greater frmness and
strength to the thread. It is claimed
that this machine twists seven times
as fast as older machines.

What are You Doing With the
Negro You Own"

Ex- Secretary of the Navy Jo-
sephus Daniels was one of the
speakers at the recent unveiling
Of the monument to Booker I.
Washington at Tuskegee, Ala.
He say that the thing that per-
haps impressed him most about
his visit was the practical, horse
sense talk a colored woman
made to the negroes at a meet
held in connection with the un-
yelling. This is what she told
them:
In the old days the owners of
slaves found slavery profitable 70
them. That is why they owend
slaves and why they opposed
emancipation. How cid they
make a slave profitable to them?
They did three things:
Il. They made the slaves get
up and get out early in the
morning.
"2. They made them work
after they got out in the morn
ing.
"3. They made them come in
at night and go to bed and get
their nights sleep.
Now, every negro who hears
me, owns negro-you own
yourself. You can make that
ownership of a negro as profit
able to yourself as the slave
owner made the slave profitable
to him. How can you do it?
Il. Make the negro you own
get up and out in the morning.
-. Make the negro you own
work.
-. Make the negro you own
come in at night"
AS Mr.. Daniels said. This is
lust about as good advice for
white folks as for negroes. =
Every white boy and every
white man ought tU say to him
elf: Il own a white man and it
5 up to me to train him and
reat him so he will be ten times
more profitable to me-by in
piring him to use both brain
nd muscle for me. than the
mere muscle-service Of a slave
xas ever worth to a master.
