Irish Declare They
Discovered America

(By International News ServiceD
Dublin, Nov. 14.-Ireland claims
that one of her sons discovered
America and is beginning to ask
why the world gives Columbus the
credit for it. 1t is just 430 years
since Columbus's claim was estab-
lishod to his own and the world S
satisfaction. Ireland claims, how
ever, that st. Brendan. an Irishman,
made the discovery nine centuries
before Columbus even sighted the
Bahamas. The very earliest annals
tell of the voyage of st. Brendan
to the Western World. and it is
now claimed nv Irishmen that the
traditions Of this great voyage in
spired Columbus in his great en-
'crnrise. The Scandinavian chron-
'clers. they say, support Ireland s
claim and tell of Irishmen and
Norsemen being visitors to Hirtra-
lmannaland. which some called IRE
land in Mikla," or Great Ireland.

IBERIA "A ON. Bailey has returned TO
Denver gwith what is said ITO be one
of the greatest collections of birds
and mammals of the frozen north
ever gathered. fGhcss
The collection will be arranged
for exhibition at the Denver Mu-
scum of Natural History.
Fifteen hundred birds and $50
mammals. among them some very
rare specimens, were brought back
by Bailey.
The expedition, headed by Bailey
and including r. w. Hendel, a
white trader and an Esquimau
covered $50 miles by dog-sled over
the barren wastes of the white
North and crossed Boring Straits
through mountainous icebergs tc
Siberia.
! Walrus. seals. caribou, deer and
birds Of all varieties known to the
| Northland were secured by Bailey
and, according to j. d. Higgins
curator of the Denver Museum, the
display is the most complete il

Bailey's collection of emperor gees

notable. He also brought back hun
dreds of photographs of mammal
md birds in their natural haunts
as well as rare BIRDS eggs an,
native grasses and shrubs.
The Bailey expedition left Denve
in May, 1921, going directly t.
Nome, Alaska. From that point tn
expedition made many doS-sle'
trips along the Alaskan coast an,
later was picked up by the revenue

cable was 1880 miles long and
weighed about 1000 tons. When
about 1000 miles from the Irish
coast this cable also broke. The
following year the Great Eastern
laid another cable.
But these early cables are now
all dead" the life of submarine
cable being but about forty years
and most of them but twenty-five
years.
These early cables could transmit
but seven words minute, while
modern cables carry from eighty to
ninety words a minute, with mes

FORD OUTPUT
OF 5000 A DAY
Dealers Call For 194,75O Cars, Trucks
and Tractors for June.

Ford dealers in the United States
have asked for a total of 94,75O
Ford cars, trucks, and tractors to
meet their requirements, says a state
ment Issued by the Ford Motor Com
bany, Detroit, Michigan.
AS result, the estimated output
for June has been boosted to 100000
which is an increase of 10000 over
the present month, and, of course,
will set up a new high record, in spite
of the fact that the May output will
show substantial increase over the
previous highest month.
Ford sales have been constantly
increasing since the first of the year,
the demand growing during the past
two months faster than it has been
possible to increase production.
Monday May 10th, brought forth a
new record of cars built for one day,
the figures reaching 4,876 at the close
of the days work. This was an in
crease of II over May 18th, when the
previous high mark was establish
ed.
On May 18th, the six millionth Ford
motor was assembled. Number five
million came off the line May 28th,

Ford officials state that every at
tempt is being made to build a suf-
ficient number of cars and trucks to
fill the retail requirements Of their
5000 dealers.

work in May maintained the satisfac-
tory rate of the present year. There
has been a great stimulation of con-
structiOn work all over the south no.
ticeable not only in the larger cities,
but in the smaller ones as well.
During May three cities. Atlanta.
Memphis and New Orleans, issued
building permits aggregating more
than million dollars. Atlanta's total
was more than $1700,000.
In comparing the records for May,
1921, and May, 1922, it will be seen
that the value Of permits last month
greatly exceeded that of the CORE
spending month last year, with the ex-
ceptiOn of Miami and Birmingham. In
the latter city permits fell short of last
May by nearly 100000. This was due
to the fact that two large schools were
included in last years record, while
construction this year was of a gen.
eral character.

Present Condition.

AbbevilIe. Miss, June 13.-Editor
of the EagIe:-Your brief item last
week with reference to the condition
of the Tallahatchie river bottom
road, just north of AbbeviIle. was
timely and is readily appreciated by
one who has had the misfortune to
seek passage across the levee. 1t is
a fact, the road gets impossible at
times. 1t shows Woeful lack of at
tention. To use a harsh expression, it
is q positive disgrace to the county
1t is said by those who know that
this. is the worst link on the whole
jeff Davis highway and by all means
the worst between Memphis and
Jackson. Since the supervision and
upkeep of the levee has been taken
out of the hands Of local commits
sioners it has been neglected to the
extent of rendering the road prac-
tically impossible. Complaint should
be made loud and vigorously so that
it would be audible even to the ears
Of our supervisors.
As a taxpayer and a frequent user
of this particular link of the road,
as we'll as others besides myself. |
hope the proper authorities will take
cognizance of the situation and at
least make an attempt to fix up and
make passable this link of the road.
