HAD s37, ,ooo IN
 POCKET, STARVES
Although Wealthy, West Palm Beach Man Ate Little Else Than
 Peanuts.

West Palm Beach, Aug. 3.-The rnysterious J. H. Smith, who starved to death here with 7,5oo in cash in his pockets, actually was Jud.on Howard Smith, who owned realty in Los An geles and a ranch of several hundred acres at Falls City, Neb.
 A letter In his neager effects bore the name of A. D. Newkirk, who when formed of the death telegraphed that Smith was his brother-in-law and directed that the body be sent to Falls City.
 Smith was a familiar figure on West Palm Reach,s main street for years. He never wore a hat. never shaved, always carried an umbrella and dressed in a Palm Beach suit. He seldom responded when addressed and never began a conversation.
 Such food as he ate, usually pea nuts popcorn and bananas, was eaten out of a paper sack as he stood on the street bareheaded and with the umbrella on his arm.
 When he was sent to a hospital after remaining in his room at cheap lodging house for three days he repulsed food and nourishment was given to him hypodermically. He died of starvation without explaining his to food.

CUFFY rRIGHrENs THE FAMILY


 Cufy Bear burst into the den hreathless He had run SO fast that he couldn't speak, but stood before ris father and his mother and made the queerest motions. He waved s paw toward the mouth of the den. relied his eyes, moved his head slow ly from side to side. What in the world is the matter 2" Mrs, Bear b.sought him. Are you i'll ?

 I'm all right, Mother" Cuty pant ed at last I've hurried home to tell you that we'll have to move.
 Upon hearing this news MT. Bear srranS to his feet

 MT, Bear sank down again, heavily, upon the floor.
 Then your remarks don't interest me" he growled. For nothing but . Man with q gun would make me move"
 IT ountain would you want to live here ?' Cuffy asked him.
 When Mrs. Bear heard that she shrieked
 Tire, The woods are on nre." she cred. We must hurry" She feared forest fires as much as her husband feared men with guns.
 No, Ma,"a said Cuffy. There's no fire"

but he tried to look very big and i'm news that he had brought home or the run.
 Wen have to move because of the Beavers he explained. They're go. ing to cut down every tree on the mountain"
 Mir. and Mrs. Bear exchanged look. of wonder.
 How did you learn all this?" Mr Bear inquired.
 "Old Mir. Crow told me" Well, when Cufy said that, MT Bear roared with laughter and gave his own knee such a slap with his paw that he roared again with pain When he stopped roaring he said to his son, MT Crow fooled you"
 But I saw dozens of trees lying or the ground, not far from Beaver Vii. laee,' Cuffy insisted.
 Again his father and his mother gave each other a glance-an uneasy glance, this time
 Don't you think you'd better look into this matter right away, Eph- raim?' Mrs. Bear asked her husband
 He srunted and groaned. Having intended to enjoy a nap he did not relish the thought of long tramp to the other side of the mountain.
 "Tomorrow'-he said - tomorrow will do" .....
 Today would be better" Mrs. Bear observed firmly. If we have to move want to know 1t at once"
 So MT Bear trudged of, with Cuey tagging after him. At last they reached 3 look-on place way around Blue Mountain. And there Cuffy stopped and spoke to his father.
 Do you see that gap down there where the trees have been felled?"
 MT Bear squinted at the stretch of tree tops below them. Sure enough :, there was a great gap in it.
 Tt looks bad for us, he wheezed as he hurried down the mountain If the Beavers keep that up long, there won't be stick Of timber standing for miles around"
 Hadn't we better hurry back home and tell Mother?" Cuffy inquired.
 His father shook his head.
 I want to get good look at those felled trees" he replied
 And soon Mir Bear had his look One was all he needed
 No Beaver ever cut down these trees" he declared. Tn the first place. no Beaver fells trees so big And in the second place, no Beaver fells tree by clean. square cut ike this. MT. Bear laid paw on top of fresh stump.
 Then what sort of animal did this work Cuffy asked
 Iumberiacks!" said Mir. Bear.
 They must have strong teeth" 1uffy remarked
 "Yes"' said MT Bear. Strong and ,harp"
 when are we soing to mover" -uffy wanted to know.

MILLION VOICE
 CHORUS PLANNED
Radio Fans VIII Soon bc Givcn Chance to Hear Rocky Mountain Marmots Singing Through Phone.

Washington, Aug. 3-"rhe next number on tonight's program will be piccolo imitation entitled The Whistltng Chorus by the Rocky Mountain Marmot Singing society of one million voices"
 Such may be the announcement to astonish the ears of any number of listening radio fans in the near future If a proposal before the National Park service of the interior depart ment Is carried through. It will be possibly the most novel treat that tho mum berless radio amateurs could ask, whose apparatus would tune in with . broadcasting station in Glacier Ma tional park, in the heart of the Rock les, which would catch and transmit the shrill whistling of these small dog-lik animals.
 Within 50 miles of the park, in the northern part of Montana, near the Canadian border resides the largest colony of the animals on the North American. continent. It is estimated there are close to a million of them, living in dense population. On still nights the wonderful shrilling chorus of the piccolo-like voices Is carried miles on the rare mountain air, and tourists in the camps enpoy the eve ming programs immeisely.
 It has been proposed that receiv- ing set and broadcasting station of 20o-watt capacity, sending at 3so- metre wave length, be installed close enough to catch the voices clearly. Such power would be capable of send ing throughout radius of 1,5oo miles and could be picked up almost from coast to coast
 The perfection of the radio now suggests the idea of broadcasting this volumenn of wierd, whistling music, which has tone all its own, to radio receivers as far as the waves w1 carry.
 When the full chorus is on it sounds as if a whole city of people were playing piccolos in concert. The radio fan who is lucky enough to lis- ten in will not have a bit of trouble in recognizing the Inarmot voices, even though no preliminary an- nouncement Is made from the board casting station.

HIGH RENTS

Rapidly mounting rents are driving writer's
and artists out of their colony, Greenwich
Village in New York.
A small room, formerly a horse stable, is
turned into a studio at 5000 month rent. This
is said to be a typical case. Such sum, OBJ
viously, is beyond the means of the artist or
writer struggling for recognition.
Why don't the artists and writer's move to
the country? you ask They say they have to
be near their market to get orders for their
work.
A great fuss is being made over the situation
by the Authors League of America. The fuss
will help advertise Greenwich Village and at
tract more tourists to its carefully-staged tea
rooms, cabarets and other points of commercial
lied Bohemianism. This will bring more
money to the village. Then rents will go up
again.
Too bad, of course, that rents are high for
the temperamental residents of Greenwich Vii
lage. They will not attract much sympathy,
however, because nearly every one in New York
and other big cities is also in the clutches of
high rents.
The bigger and more congested our cities
grow, the more it becomes obvious that the real
problem of city life is rent.
IL is TeIlI GlldC Has COIHpSIlEu CuS use vi SAS-
vators, tall buildings, small rooms, and the
vanishing of the big yard that should be around
every home.
Each year the rent problem in cities grows
worse
Many theories and suggestions have been adj
vanced, to reduce rents generally. When all
is said and done, high rent is the penalty of
living in cities.
1t follows, logically, that the way to escape
from high rent is to get OUT of the city. Rapid
transit is the route of escape. And the ideal
form of rapid transit is the airplane.
When airplanes become fool-proof, safe
speedy, compact and cheap, cities will become
collections of factories, theaters and shops.
People will live far out in the country and travel
back and forth by plane.
The greatest value of the airplane eventually
will be in bringing cheaper rent Obviously, it
is to the selfish interest of every American to
do everything in his power to assist the devel-
opmept Of flying craft.
The flying machine will free the city man
from high rent just as the railroad and auto
have freed the farmer from isolation.

SANS CUSTOMERS.

Measured in dollars, American exports 10
Europe now are more than twice as big as be-
fore the war though there has been consider
able falling off compared with year ago.
From the first of the year to August 1, we
sent Europe about SGT 100000 worth Of goods
more than she shipped us. This, when it comes
to balancing the books, leaves US figuratively
in the hole at rate of S1,000000,000 year
Which is doing fairly well at helping Europe
back on it's feet, considering what she already
owes US. OF course, some of this trade debt is
balanced in gold, but only fraction of it, A
great mystery, where the financing funds come
from.
The complaint from Europe must be because
we don't give our stuff away instead of selling
it on credit
How about trade with South America, which
we used to hear so much about? Well. it's
growing.
For the first seven months of 1922, our ex-
ports to South American countries totaled
around $12200O,0OO.
However, in the same months, we bought
from South America $65 5000 more than we
sold her.
So our trade in that direction is growing
the wrong way
Our trade with Asiatic countries China,
Japan India, etc.-is also running twice as big
as before the war
In the first seven months this year our ex-
ports to Asia totaled SITS, 100000 But Asia
shipped us about $161,O00,000 more than we
shipped her.
We sell Europe more than she sells us. We
sell Asia and South America less than they sell
u.s. Logically, the situation should be reversed,
for it's only by importing more than we export
that we can ever hope to get back what we have
loaned Europe.
