Waste Copper Recovered.
lucky Accident Which Befell n junk
man mt Anaconda.

20 THE NEW YORK HERALD: The let
ters YOU have been printing about gold
seekers in the far West recall the fol-
lowing incident of copper mining IN
Montana
Day after day about twenty years
ago rickety old open wagon, drawn
by has been horse, used to venture
out from Anaconda and garner rags
bottles. sacks and old iron. One day,
ON its return to town, hind wneel
wabbled off as the vehicle was cross
ing culvert~ and wheel and load slid
down into a greenish looking little riv-
ulet that passed under the culvert. The
junk dealer recovered the wheel and
drove on sadly into Anaconda. But'
being thrifty, he went back one day
to salvage the old iron, perhaps whole
dollars worth This he fshed out OF
the littlc stream.
He found that every horseshoe, every
stove lid, every old broken tool that he
clawed out of the shallow water was
thickly coated with copper
He kept his mouth shut and In town
he melted off that pure copper, for the
water from the great Anaconda smelter,
where copper was melted out Of the
rocky ore Of that region.
Regularly, long after nightfall, the
junk dealer used to go out on that road
with load of old iron and dump II
into the grcenish stream on this or that
side of the culvert and fish out load
earlier deposited.
The copper company detectives began
reporting mysterious high grade ship
ments of pure copper from Anaconda,
hut no direct thefts could be discovered.
Not an employee could be caught red
handed Finally the junk dealers noe
turnal trips came under suspicion and
he was watched and his secret discov-
cred, but not before he had realized a
total of about $4,000 in melting off
pure copper from the deposits on his
loads of junk iron. The company sought
to enjoin him, sought to recover the
held that il was waste water in>a pub
lie highway and the lucky junk dealer
was we'll within his rights.
And the lesson was worth more than
the lost value to the copper company,
for il resulted In a catchment dam be-
Ing built inside the company's fence,
where scrap iron was used to recover
copper values that long before had been
running TO waste. Accidents sometimes

Swatow as 1t Was.
With Some observations on the
Storm That DESTROYED II.

To THE NEW York HERALD: When
the small coasting steamer Chenan ar
rived at Swatow one morning in March
two years ago there was nothing to
make one think that the city was so
soon TO be overwhelmed by a typhoon.
The steamer drew up to jetty thrust
out from the masonry retaining wall to
discharge her cargo, one OF the principal
items OF which was round disks OF saya
bean cake brought down from Man
churia. There were no mechanical
means of moving these bean cakes away
from the ships tackle. In fact, two
Chinese arms were the sole means Of
moving things from the ships side up
to the land. A crowd consisting mostly
OF women and children fell in line at
the openings in the ships side to carry
the cakes one by one up to the head OF
the jetty.
AS each one turned his burden over TO
the coolies on the wharf he received his
wages for moving that one cake UP from
the ship. These one or two cash were
the familiar thin brass coins with the
square hole and worth something like
a tenth OF cent each in our money.
Parenthetically. no sooner had some
of the boys got a few cash each than
they stopped work and gathered in
groups to gamble with their hard earned
coins much as Southern darkies might
shoot craps in some Gulf port. But II
was the fact that these Chinese children
were only eight or nine years old that
took your attention.
The city is built on land just above
high tide and there Is no protection
against abnormally high water The
streets along the waterfront are tiny
little alleys and the low buildings are
crowded together in solid, Irregular
blocks. Few OF the buildings are even
two stories high.
Swatow is famous all over the Orient
for the beautiful embroideries made
there on grass cloth, fabric resembling
coarse linen. In all the curio shops OF
the Asia coast from Shanghai to Singa-
pore swatow drawn work Is for sale.
Most OF the foreigners in Swatow live
across the harbor. There the shore
rises stecply from the water. and along
winding roads lined with camphor trees
arc many rather prctentious residences.
The principal missionary establishments
and some Of the consulates are TO be
found on the hillside overlooking the
harbor.
1t is not 80 long. however, that the
foreigners have lived on the mainland.
They first lived on an island at the
mouth OF the harbor and there in the
cemetery may be seen the stones mark
ing the graves of the early European
settlers in the port In those early
days II vas not safe to live in the
town. The men went to the city from
their island homes for the day but re-
turned for the night until the time came
when II was safe TO stay In the city for
the night.
Typhoons are possibly the most dead
ly storms known TO man and they have
been the subject OF careful study. The
Jesuit fathers in Manila have for dec
ades given attention to these terrible
storms. The neighborhood OF Yap. east
OF tho Philippine group, seems to be the
nursery OF typhoons. The storms gen.

The Coal Strikes Ending.

Unless there is a hitch it seems
certain that most of the miners viii
be back at work in both the bitumi-
nous and the anthracite fields by
Monday. This is welcome news to a
country which was gravely apprehen-
sive Of shortage that would para
lyze industry and transportation and
chill millions of homes.
But the United States need not
congratulate itself, as it has done too
frequently, that strike ended means
a problem solved
In the first place the hard coal
supply is very low after the months
Of idleness at the mines. In the East
most of the dealers anthracite pock-
cts are empty and their customers,
whose bins are empty also, seek in
vain for the winters household sup
ply. Only ten weeks remain before
the heating of homes usually begins.
There is little hope that the hard
coal miners, after being on strike all
summer, will catch up with the de-
mand, even if the transportation fa-
cilities were ideal.
In the second place there is no as
surance that there will not be an
other coal strike next summer. The
compromise in the bituminous fields
merely continues the old wage scale
until next April.
III the United States wishes to
avoid the almost annual recurrence
of strike, scare, compromise and
scarcity it's Government must take
up the coal question and settle 1t so
that it will stay settled.
The first thing needed is a thor
ough but not necessarily slow sur
vey of the soft coal fields by the
commission which President HARDING
has proposed. Such survey will
find, we think, that the whole btu
minous industry must be reorganized
1t will see the wisdom of consolidat-
ing Americas coal mines into half
a dozen groups, these to be owned
and operated by private interests but
controlled by the Government.
AS mining is now carried on the
fat mines are either getting too much
for their product or the lean mines
are getting too little. The lean mines,
the mines where the costs Of getting
out the coal is greatest, really make
the price that the public has to pay.
The fat mines, where operating costs
are low, get the big profits.
AS THE New YORK HERALD said
last April, just after the strike be-
gan, "the coal business of the coun-
htryshould. be so organized that every
mffieo will do its part in supplying
the nation with its needed coal, so
organized that all 'soal miners the
country over will get substantially
the same return for a given amount
of man power. whether that given
amount produces one ton of coal or
five tons"
This Government must take up the
coal problem in earnest. 1t should
go forward with it as if it knew that
there would be a strike next spring
and every spring thereafter until real
intelligence is applied to the human
and economic questions involved.

strength Of the Government Fas-
cismo, is unquestionably at the height
of its power in Italy. The leader,
BENITo MUssoLINo, recently demob-
ilized the Fascist, and he gave to the
conservative elements in the Chamber
the encouragement OF Fascist sup
port should they remain true to the
Nationalist aims. The Fascist dis
claim connection with any party.
They are free lances in politics, but
at the same time they would be able
to WELD a great power II their
strength was crystalliZed and placed
at the disposal Of competent politi-
cal leader.
The Fascist have accomplished
some notable reforms in Italy. They
have driven Bolshevism from the
country and tanned radicalism. They
have made these achievements by inn
posing upon the State a super gov
ernment. The actual result Of the
movement cannot yet be estimated
The danger is always in the excesses
of the organization or in the ambi-
'tions of the self-seeking leaders. The
first real test of its strength will
come in this fall election. With the
complete victory Of their principles
of Italian nationalism it becomes an
important question If the Fascist
will retire upon their laurels and let
the Italian Government conduct the
affairs of the nation.

CUBANS TELL OF RADIO
CRAZE ON THE ISLAND
Army Officers ArriUe for
Course at u. S. Camp.

The radio craze has found fertile
field In Cuba, according to the state
ment made yesterday by Capt. Romulo
Masvidaz and Lieut.. J. Alonzo, officers
of the Cuban Army Signal Corps, who
arrived here yesterday ON the steamship
Zacapa Of the Ward Line, which came
here from Havana, Cuba. The officers
were accompanied by their families and

with the American army at Camp Vail,
N. J. Capt. Masvidaz is pioneer ex-
permenter in radio in Cuba and Is con-
sidered there as a leading authority on
wireless telcgraphy. Hundreds OF Cubans
have installed radio sets in their homes,
he said, and the matter Of broadcasting
is being taken up ON large scale there.
Among others on board the ship were

The Spanish priests who are still In

have devised special barometers for the
detection and study of typhoon disturb

each typhoon, and each year there are

These storms are circular in form
and OF comparatively small area, pos
sibly not more than 100 miles in diam
cter in some cases. But what they
lack In size they make up in intensity.
They revolve about center which is
comparatively calm and the whole storm
area travels along comparatively slowly,
often no more than four or fve miles

This regularity OF movement makes
II possible to predict with some degree
OF accuracy where the center of the
typhoon will be hours and even days in
advance. This information is sent by
cable to all the important ports OF the
typhoon area and is broadcast TO ships
at sea. The latter. OF course, collab-

OF the exact location of a typhoon. AS
n result the course Of the ship was
shaped to dodge the path Of the storm.
This shows the respect with which the
typhoon liz held by seafaring men. As
II was, one night there was a strange
lunar rainbow and other unusual cf-
fects that were laid to the storm, and
It did not require any great sea expe-

Crescent College will celebrate IT'S
fifteenth anniversary next May with
the homecoming OF former students.
President Thompson announces that
present prospects indicate the enroll
ment will be completed earlier than
in previous years due TO the active
interest OF former students. Students
attend Crescent from twenty differ
ent states each year, but Texas, Okla
homa and Arkansas student clubs
compete for leadership. Texas has
generally lead. Crescent has the
most cosmopolitan group OF students
and has the distinction OF offering
the more cultural and recreational
features combined with accredited
work than any other college for
