HAVANA WILL SELL
MILLIONS FOR DUTY
American Goods at Customs
Auction With Big Loss
in Sight.

BY the Associated Press.
HAVANA. Cuba, February 14.-Cus-
tomhouse officials have been instructed
by the treasury department to open and
appraise. preliminary to selling at auc-
ton. unclaimed merchandise received In
Havana from foreign countries prior to
the establishment sixteen months ago Of
bonded warehouses and resultant de-
congestion Of the wharves
This move is considered to be the
first step in the governments plan
to evaluate and dispose under the
hammer OF millions of dollars worth
Of goods placed in twenty officially
designated bonded warehouses In the
winter of 1920 to secure approximate
ly 100000 in wharfage, warehouse
and customs duties.
Americans Would Delay.
Strenuous efforts have been made
by the shippers of the merchandise
1t is planned to dispose Of at forced
sale. who are mostly Americans. to
secure further time In which to at
tempt to recover on their property
when the current reprieve granted
by President Zayas expires February
%.
With regard to these requests, ac-
cordfng to statement today by Jose
Rodriguez Acosta, undersecretary OF
the treasury. the government cannot
see how either shippers or consignees
can better their position through
further stay Of proceedings while
warehouse charges keep piling up
and the goods continue deteriorating.
Moreover. the undersecretary points
ou-, the parties interested still have
time to withdraw their shipments,
while the offer Of the government to
the shippers to allow them to re-
export their goods without payment
of import duties still stands.
Little Left After Sale.
Although 1t Is estimated that
American shippers have forwarded to
Cuba goods with a wartime invoice
value Of SS0,000,000, it is freely pre-.
dicted that a forced sale Of the con-
tents of the bonded warehouses will
give neither shippers nor consignees
much after customs and storage
charges have been liQuidated, since,
in addition to the loss that will be
suffered through deterioration and a
forced sale. it Is claimed that the
value Of goods lost or stolen will
reach a staggering total.

ton of the original system of state

Anne Arundel counties. A total of

GOOD SCOUT STUFF

Too young yet to be admitted to a scout troop, eleven-year-ol Reeve Geary of Far Rockaway has neveThe- less done everything in his power l." get ready for the great event, when his next birthday warrants his debut into the movement for which he cherishes so ardent an enthusiasm. He had nearly committed to memory the official scout handbook, particularly the chapter which deals with first aid and life saving, and hero tales of boy scouts thrilled him to the marrow. And then, all of a sudden, before he could don the coveted scout uniform, he found himself called upon to do a deed which for coOl-headedneSs would have done credit to any eagle scout. This is what happened. Reeve and his eight year-old brother, Jchn, together with two other youngsters were playing on the shore at the foot of Clinton ave nue, Jamaica Bay. Reeve was on the beach while the other three clambered about in a motor boat which was anchored near Dy. Suddenly to his horror, he saw John lurch over feet first into the deep water. Instantly Reeve was in the boat. Calling to his brother not to be afraid, he hung his legs over the edge of the boat into the water telling the younger lad to catch on to him. But John was too frightened to heed instructions and instead of getting hold of his brothers feet went down into the water. Reeve dived after him and as soon as he came to the surface got him to shore, with the help of his companions. True to the scout ideals, though he isn't yet a scout, Reeve told no one but his parents about the accident.

DRAWINGS FOR CORDOVA'S
 PUBLIC BLDG. COMPLETED

Word received. from Delegate Sutherland at Washington by the Cordova Chamber of Commerce in the last mail stated that the Treas ury Department had completed the working drawings for Cordova's pub lie building and the project had reached the stage for the writing of specifications. MT. Clifford, Asst. Secretary of the Treasury wrote the delegate under date of July IA that he hoped the work would be placed on the market before the first of August, but that as the Supervising Architects office is somewhat handi- capped by the curtailment of the technical force to meet the appropri- ation made by Congress for that purpose, the project is not so far advanced as was expected. The Sec retary wrote MT. Sutherland: Your great interest in getting the Cordova building under construction is thoroughly appreciated by the De- partment, and please be assured that everything will be done to get the work on the market at the earliest possible date"

TO COOPERATE WITH SCOUTS

Alvin NJ. Owsley, director of the Ma tionaI Americanism commission of the American Legion met recently in con- ference with the executive officers of the Boy Scouts of America at their na- tional headquarters, New York city, to develop plans for an intensive effort on the part of the American Legion Scouts of America throughout tie United States. Mir. Owsley explained that pursuant to the action of the na- tional convention at Kansas City, and following recent personal investigation by the national commander, Hanford MacNider, the American Legion would immediately begin the development of a plan whereby the American Legion posts in all communities where there are. not Boy Scouts would be asked to sponsor the organization of a troop. and in other communities to cooper ate with existing troops in the strengthening of their work. Already the American Legion has sponsored the organization of 56 troops Com mander MacNider has issued a strong appeal to all Legion posts to cooper ate with the local councils and various troops throughout the country, and has suggested the idea of posts adopting one or more troops, especially in those neighborhoods where the under-priv- iIeged boy lives. .ssa1ss ss'stsss&asssE's ''''&
 The American Legion now has 11,OOO posts, organized in all parts of the United States. The Boy Scouts ot America has 18,0O0 troops organized in 4,T0O different communities. There are 6,600 communities in the United States which do not have any troops and it is hoped by the officers of the Boy Scouts of America, through the cooperation of the American Legion, to especially reach these communities, It was explained by the chief scout ex ecutive, James E. West, that for the most part these communities are in the rural parts of the country where there has been a lack of resources in developing the leadership necessary to secure the troop committee and scout master and the Boy Scouts of Amer ica for this reason are particularly ap- preciative of the interest of the Amer ican Legion in undertaking this exten- sion of their program. At the present time the membership of the Boy Scouts of America numbers 410,00O boys and 10000 men giving service on volun- teer basis. It is hoped by co-opera- tion with the American Legion this membership will be substantially in creased within the next year.

MORE MONEY NEEDED FOR HIGHWAYS, SAYS
 NOTED ROAD EXPERT

WASHINGTON, July 25. - 'Plan now the financing of highways for the future and place highway transporta- tion which has become an indispens- able part of our national life,, on a firm foundation"
 This advice was sounded by Thomas H. Mcdonald, chief of the Bureau of Public Roads of the Agraculture De- partment.
 Asserting that the United States is starting out to construct a system of highways such as no nation ever con- structed before, Mcdonald declared this great undertaking is being en- tered into "because highways are not luxury but furnish a real service, have a real earning capacity and have become a national necessity" The nearest approach to the titanic high way construction contemplated by the United States, according to Mcdonald, is found in France and Germany, and the area of neither is as large as Texas
 "For such an undertaking to be successful" Mcdonald said, "finan- cling to care for maintenance, re- construction and new construction should be planned for a long period of years in advance. Changes in methods of raising funds every few years, uncertainty as to whether funds will be provided and periods in which funds are not provided all increase the final cost of highways. Such a policy would soon bring any private business to disaster, ,-
 Development and increase in numbers of motor vehicles and the coincident need and demand for good roads," Mcdonald continuel, .have come so rapidly that methods of rais- ing funds have often been expedients for the time being. Consideration has been given not so much to the just q tribution of the cost as to how the funds can be raised with the least controversy and the utmost ease. Then, too, the use made of the high ways and the service rendered by them have changed greatly within the last few years"
 Mcdonald estimated that of the $60O,OOO,000 spent for highways last year 33 per cent was Federal aid and motor-vehicle revenue. The remaining 67 per cent, he said, came either di- rectly or will eventually be paid from State and local taxes.
 "A very considerable readjustment of the source of revenues must be made so that a larger percentage will be paid by the road user and lesser percentage from State or local taxes y Mcdonald declared

NEW YORK, July 25.-The modern pickpocket in New York is a specu lator. He invests little change in the hopje of getting large returns And here, according to that fountain head of information, the police, is the way he does it:
 Having selected a potential victim the pickpocket drops coin in front of him. The he calls the strangers at, tention to it, solicitously inquiring ii perhaps he did not drop the coin. More often than not the stranger reckons it possible he might have, and stoops over to pick up the money. Where npon the spackpocket lifts the wallet from the strangers hip-pocket.

HUGE DIRICIBLE BEING BUILT IN
 PHILADELPHL

PHILADELPHIA, July 25.-A mon ster' dirigible, the ZR-1 is being built in the aircraft factory of the Phila- delphia Navy Yard. It is to be fully as big as that ill-fated leviathan or the air. the ZR-2, which collapsed and fell flaming into the Hull River in England last summer bringing ter rible death to more than a score of its crew. As fast as the parts are con- pleted here they are sent to the hangar at Lakehurst, N. J., which will be the home port of the giant air ship. It is exjected that by next April the ZR-1 will be ready for it's first flight.
 This dirigible will be the first of the Zeppelin type to have been built in this country Commander WesterVelt and his associates in the naval air craft factory are being guided in the construction of the ZR-1 by the trag- >edies of similar craft
 A principal difference between the Philadelphia built dirigible and that which collapsed over Hull is the trengthening of every second duralu= minum ring instead of every third ring as in the zR-2 This strengthening is accomplished by tying each section of the 25-sided rings (polygons), which will make up the framework, with the strongest possible strands of copper wire. Seventy miles of such copper wire will be used, and the result, it is said, will give the framework a resist ance greater even that if constructed of steel. Duraliuminum is an alloy of aluminium and copper and is used be- cause of it's qualities of lightness and strength.
 The work of assembling the ZR-1 is already underway at Lakehurst under command of Commander Norfleet. Three of the ribs are erected in the hangar and the keel will be completed within a few weeks.
 The envelope will be 700 feet long and 85 feet in maximum diameter. It will be cizar-shaped. The cloth will be of staple back-spun cotton one inch in thickness. A specially devised var nish will make it sunandwater-proof. Nineteen balloonets which will furnish {, the lifting power are being built in Akron, O. These will have total gas capacity of 27000,O00 cubic feet. It is not considered likely that helium (non-inflammable gas) can be used be- cause of the immense quantity that would be necessary.
 Originally the intention was to equip the ZR-1 with seven Liberty en- zines capable of developing a total of 2,100 horsepower, but navy experts are experimenting with a new type Of motor, the specifications of which are not being made public but which likly will b tn type used
 When the ZR-1 is completed, ex- perts say it will have power to cruise one-third of the distance around the world without having to descend. It will have lifting power of S5 tons. The average speed, it is estimated, will ' be 50 miles an hour, it's maximum 75. Quarters for the officers and the men will be along the keelway extend ing almost the entire length of the ship. They will have width of eight feet and height of seven.
