COMET MAY CAUSE END
OF WORLD BY CASING IT
BY CARL D. GROAT.
United Press Staff Correspondent

BERLIN, July 8.-There is a pos
sibility the whole world will be
'gassed" to death by the poison va
pors of a huge comet.
Prof. DR.. Archenhold, chief as
trononer Of the Treptow Observa-
tory here, points to this possibility
after years Of research in the field Of
comet action.
He says. however, that the inhabi
tants of this globe need have no i'm
mediate anxiety about this point So
far. his Investigations indicate, such
a catastrophe is only possibility. He
pointed out there are many bodies
sailing through the space. redhot
and filled with poisonous gases In
event of a collision between the earth
and one of these bodies, it would be
conceivable, he says, that sufficient
poison gas would be given off to
cause the downfall Of the worlds
population.
He says there have been cases Of
comet colliding with the earth and
killing few people.

JAPS TRYING TO DODGE
SERIOUS TRADE CRISIS
Brains of Nation Join
in Seeking Ways to Avert
Depression.

TOXIC, July 8. - The biggest
brains in Japanese business were to-
day seeking to avert the threatening
wave Of commercial and industrial
depression.
Conferences and discussions were
continuing and financial leaders were
still hopeful Of averting a Japanese
business crisis. For weeks some have
feared the precipitation of such crisis
at any time. Others, while facing the
fact of a present serious stagnanCy
and seemingly certain period Of Sc
we're depression, believe that an actual
crisis will be avoided.
Money has become abnornally tight
The llstings on every exchange have
slumped-some violently. Speculation
and imitation. heritages Of the war
boom, are still unliquidated. If these
boom readjustments are forced now.
many big concerns may close and
many thousands Of workmen be
thrown out.
In q business and economic sense,
Japan is Just realizing tie war Is
over. The slump that came to Europe
over two years ago and to the United
States and most South American
countries we'll over a year ago is just
threatening Japan in the spring OF
1922. War prices and war profits are
still being maintained here-arti-
hcally. But buying IS getting Stacker
every day. People are refusing to
pay, and most are unable to pay the
exorbitant prices. Japan is losing her
foreign trade because her prices are in
most cases much higher than any
other country.
With the banks refusing loans. buy
ers striking, labor getting uglier and
moro dlscontented the exchanges de-
noralized and all the business world
fearful, the situation is filed with ex-
ceeding uncertainty.
Depression and readjustment are
inevitable, every authority agrees
The question is whether the financial
storm will be sudden and calamitouS
leaving business wreckage and bank
ruptcies In It's wake, or whether the
readtustment can be conducted slowly
and without such disaster.
Japanese newspapers are filled with
demands that the "governemnt do
something" But there isn't much the
government can do.

PROSPECT0R CREMATED IN
SUIT OF ANCIENT VINTAGE
Burned for Gold In Garments With
Favorfte Music Playing.

OATMAN. Ariz., July S-For more
than forty years Harry Tierney
worked in the gold fields Of the West.
More than quarter Of a century ago
he bought q breadcloth suit. When it
turned so green and shiny that friends
who slapped him on the back sprained
their wrists on its slippery surface,
Tierney denoted his favorlte suit from
his Sundays best" to every day"
He wore the broadcloth suit for
many long years in the Portland mill
at Cripple Creek, Colo. where he was
employed in the gold melting room
Each night he would carefully hang
II up and put on other clothes. When
Tierney went 10 Goldheld and took a
Job in the refinery Of the Goldfeld
Consolidated mill he still wore the
suit. 1t was then beginning to show
signs Of age.
Then came the gold boom in Oat-
man. Tierney arrived with his now
famous broadcloth suit. 1t was tat
tered and torn and we'll patched, but
It still hung together and Tierney
refused, with many a picturesque
oath, to throw It away.
Suit Stuck with Him
It should be explained that in the
gold mills of Oatman the refinery men
are not compelled to have their clothes
burned at intervals in order to recover
the gold In the garments. as are the
employees Of Uncle Sans mints- Tier
ney had seen many old mills torn
down and burned for the gold dust
which had accumulated in their plank
floors and rafters. but no had never
been called upon to give up his gold
impregnated suit.
When l die I want to be cremat-
ed" Tierney often told his friends
And you won't have to take me to
the city to do it. either. Enough gold
has filtered into my old carcass and
into these clothes to keep the Missus
in comfort for the rest of her life.
When I die I want my clothes ere
mated with me-"
Insurance solicitors always found
Tierney obdurate.
1.-THE gold in these clothes and in
my teeth is all the insurance 1 want, -
he, told them.
the amount Of gold which had filtered
into his old suit, however. When the
clothes were melted down the seams
lining and pockets yielded only 5000
worth of gold. However, unbelZnown
to either Tierney or his widow, the
mill in which he was employed had
long carried their faithful gold smelter
on the books of an insurance com
pany to the amount of $4,000. A
check for $4,000 was given Mrs. Tier
ney when she left for her old home
in Bay City, Mich.
When / Die"
Owing to the fact that there is no
crematory in Oatman the provisions
of Tierneys' will were carried out in
the gold melting furnace room Of the
local mill where Tlerney had been
employed.
TN worth my weight in gold,
Tierney often used to say during
gold-pour, land when / die you can
