Fire Destroys
 Freight Valued At $100,OOO

New York. Aug. 12.-More than $1oo,ooo worth of miscellaneous freight was destroyed in a mysterious four alarm fire which swept the New York Central railroads freight pier and adjoining yard at the foot of West Sixty-fourth street on the North River today. Ten cars were dam aged.
 The blaze started in a freight car which had been backed to the far end of the pier to have it's cargo trans ferred to a barge. There was nobody on the pier at the time but a night watchman and and by the time the fire apparatus arrived the flames had spread to half a string Of twenty one cars on the pier switch.
 Three fireboats hurried up on the river side and trained nozzles on the burning cars and pier which was con- siderably damaged.
 Switch engines succeeded in saving about half of the cars on the pier by pulling them out into the yards. Some of the burning cars were pulled out before it was discovered that the flames had reached them.

Freak Ice Mine Thought
 To Be 5O,OOO Years Old

the mass of rocks filled with cold air is analogous to a reservoir filled with water. The opening, low on the slope of the hills, is vent through which it can escape under pressure.
 ''At that time the air temperatures. both in the valleys and on the hill tops, are about the same; accordingly the cold air, confined by the rocks, as the water in the tanks. emerges at the low outlet and pushes up, displacing the lighter warm air above the vent. Of course, as the tank is emptied be- low, warm air enters the rock crevice above just as light air fills in the space made vacant when water is with drawn from a tank.
 Freak Temperature.
 'ATo freeze water the temperature Of cold air which emerges must be below 32 degrees F. This Is possible. for the air temperatures of Winter at low the freezing point. But to offset that Is the fact that the earth almost universally maintains a uniform tenn perature the year round on1y a Jew '"The air temperatures in the Mana moth Cave remain the same the year around. Accordingly, there must be at Coudersport some set of conditions supply from the interior earth heat, or renders this ineffective at that 1oc- ality, if Winter cold. only. is held to explain the freak.
 Again the water which is frozen by the escaping cold air is water which percolates through the rocks themselves as does the air. Why then does the water not either freeze be- fore emergence. or indeed seal up the rock crevices so the cold air cannot
 get in? Possibly bhe water is only
 scantily supplied from a source quite close to the opening and does not have an opportunity to become cool
 ed off enough to freeze until if emerges-
 Expansion and Pressure Possibly pressure and expansion phenomena are involved; that is the air on emergence and expansion
 coo1s several degrees. Thus ice is

Milford Chamber
 to Boost Industry

Milford, Aug. 12-Government rep resentatives visited Milford yesterday to consult with the transportation committee of the Chamber of Com merce and the special committee of the Milford Yacht club, regarding the matter of dredging Milford har- bor. The representatives, Major V. l.. Peterson, district engineer for tho war department, and Thomas L.. Crowley, government engineer, visited the harbor and the meadow land ad- joining Wilcox park.
 Simon Lake. in plans submitted to the Chamber of Commerce, suggested that the "fin'' which would be taken out of the harbor be used in reclaim ing the stretch of marsh land, to convert the latter into a recreation park for the public
 Major Peterson stated that the government can not ab this time spend money on the improvement of land. It will be necessary, therefore to allow the contractor to deposit the "filP' wherever he desires. It Is possible that the contractor will decide to place this waste on the marsh land.
 A petition will be made by the Chamber and the Yacht club com mittees that the Board of Finance grant S5,000 to assist in carrying out the reclamation project

To Standardize Horseshoe Game
 At Convention

Des Moines. Ia:. Aug: 2-By the A )..-Horseshoe pitchers or the sport on a national basis at their na- tfonaI tournament to be held at the state fair here, August 2s to Septem- Der l, according to B. G. Leighton. tional Horseshoe Pitchers Associa- tion.
 Growing by leaps and bounds. the sport has penetrated to virtually every community in the United States and numbers approximately one mill 1ion men and women players at pres ent, President Leighton said. Thou sands of clubs have been organized, rules of the game have been stand ardized and generally adopted. It now remains to establish on a self sustaining basis central and con- trolling body devoted to the welfare O the game, he said.
 Every horseshoe club in the coun- try is being urged to send a delegate to the national tournament here to help determine the future Of the sport.
 The Des Moines convention will be of importance to the game because
 of the pending merger of the two competing national associations. the oaoi3 of ef st ana Fla. and the National Horseshoe Pitchers Association. of which Mi. Leighton is president. The St. feLeTSDuTS was kOTIIleO in February, 1919, the latter group in 1921. Until a permanent, unified association is formed there can be no authoritive standardization of rules, or national tournaments, it is argued. l The question of the merger will be settled at the Des Moines meeting. Charles Cox of Columbus, O., has drawn up @ new constitution and by | laws for a national organization in- cooperating suggestions and ideas | submitted by horseshoe leaders from l different parts of the country. The following general policies have | been included:
 l First: The Association to have a | board of directors consisting of five | officers and the managers of the East | ern, Southern, Central and Western 1 Divisions.
 Second: The country is to be divided into four sections with a division I manager at the head of each Tour | naments to be held in each division | as we'll as in each state. l Third: Winners of state and division | tournaments to be sent to a national
 meet, expenses paid.
 | Fourth: Only one state nationa
 tournament to be held each year. | Fifth: The association to retain 2 | full time paid secretary to develop | and promote the game on a national | basis.
 Sixth: Adoption of the 'tHorseshoe | World' as the official organ of the
 new orga anization.

Governor Miller Jokes.
 As Steamboat BlaZes

Lake George, N. Y., Aug. 12-Gov- eriior Nathaniel l.. Miller, Ado1ph S. Ochs <x the New York Times; Chas. J. Peabody, of Boston, and several others were in danger for a short time yesterday afternoon when the steamboat Crusader on which they were aboard on Lake George, caught fire.
 The boat had reached what is known as the Narrows and members of the party were joking about burn ing wood on the boat if the coal sit uation became too serious, when some one remarked that he smelled smoke.
 The fire had started near the en- zine, and while little damage had been done the boat was partly filled with black smoke. of the party strapped on life belts and the boat was headed for the first landing.
 After the party landed, the gover- nor remarked that he thought he was going to get an unexpected swim ''

Ithaca, N. Y.. Aug. 12-Winter's 8 cold and not summers heat is res ponsible for the freak ice mine at Coudersport. a mine which may be a survival of the Ice Age, declares Professor O. D. von Engein, of the geology department, Cornell Univer- sity, in announcing the result of an own refrigerator.
 "A variety of explanations of the cause of the phenomenon have been suggested, no one of which is com plete1y adequate, but of which all the rational ones are in agreement on one point which is that Winter cold and not Summer heat is responsible for the development of the ice" said Dr. von Enge:n. ''-rhe difficulties are encountered in attempting to explain how the Winter cold functions.
 "As the ice mine is situated at an altitude of about 1,750 A. T. on the side of long range of hills, which at the most rise only 200 to 400 feet higher at their summit levels, this opening being fed by air from mount aains, snow-and-ice mantled, the year IrouEd.
 One Explanation.
 f'Co1d air is heavier than warm air, What seems to happen is this: During the Winter cold air over the hill tops sinks into the pores and creviceS of rock formations and slowly expels the warm air which had penetrated there during the preceding Summer. Ordinarily this process of interchange, elsewhere, takes place locally, that is over each little area of surface inde- pendently.
 "But at Coudersport the joining up of rock crevices and passages seems to be so arranged that the air circu- lation of a wide region is focused on one spot, the area of the ice mine. At that point all the accumulation of warm air in Summer is slowly forced out from September on, melting the ice. During the Winter the heavier cold air completes the process by ad- ding it's extra weight. In Summer

M00NSHINE QUALITY IS GETTING BETTER,
 DRY AGENT ASSERTS
Imported Liquor Abomina- ble, Says Federal Enforce ment Man in Portland District.
By H. T. HOPKINS ternational News Service Stan Cor

respondent
 Portland, Ore, Aug. 12.-f you are going to drink bootleg whiskey you should get on the outside of the moonshIner's product rather than con sume the contents of the imported bottle.
 This advice comes from no less an authority that Jesse Flanders, Federal prohibition enforcement of fcer for the Portland district.
 That moonshining is rapidly be- state was admitted by the Federal of hc1a!- He also admitted that the quality of noonshine liquor is growing better and that the possibilities of due to drinking moonshine, are de- creaSing.
 A fair grade of mountain dew'' is now dripping. from the illicit still. compared to the poisonous liquid that was manufactured two years ago, Flanders said,
 we find that moonshiners are learning more about their business" declared the prohibition enforcement officer. Chemical tests show that the poisonous liquors of a. few years ago are disappearing, and the better grade of moonshineis being produced
 Imported Liquor Rotten
 '-But while moonshine is getting liquor is growing more abominable. The man who buys Scotch whiskey is ldA4IlS O1S CudaC0 WILL HIS IIlOIlCy. Most of the liquor that is being snug gled into Oregon is made in Scotch distilleries and then shipped to Japan. There it is adufterated, doped and doctored. One bottle of genuine liquor Is made the base for about four bottles of inferior stuff. It then Is shipped to Canada, sold to American run-runnerS and smuggled into this country. No matter how many labels, revenue stamps and embossed corks a bottle bears the buyer cannot tell un- til he opens it just what sort of con coction the bottle holds.
 "Our investigations show that the making of wine, beer and whiskey by private citizens for their own con sumption is gradually dying out. It was only a fad, and people, after ex- perimenting, have found out that as amateurs they are not able to make a beverage that is fit to drink. Home brewing is simply a fad that is about to disappear.
 'There is only one thing that is go- ing to stop the manufacture and sale of liquor in this country-that is a constant bitter and relentless war on those who engage in that traffic"

BABIES AND OLD
 MEN SWELL NEW
 Y0Rk'S FATALITIES
Too Young to Realize Or Too Old to Move Quickly :; Accidents Show Decrease.

New York, Aug. 12-Babies who were too young to realize danger, and enough to avoid it, swelled the total of accidental deaths to 3,483 in New York City last year. health depart ment reports reveal. This represents a decrease of 400 from the accidental deaths of 1919.
 Only ss7 of the victims were fe- males, while 2.496 were males. Even among infants the death rate for males was by far the higher, prob ably according to the health office, because boy babies often come to grief through inquisitiveness and a natural tendency to seek adventure.
 '"The most important cause of &C., cidenta1 death from numerical standpoint is the automobile" the re- port continues. Last year S49 per- sons were killed in this city as the result of automobile accidents. This is equivalent to a ratio of almost 15 per 100000 of population and repre- sents a net increase of one per 100 since 1919.
 eve must not lose sight, however. | of the fact that the number of fatal with the increase in the number of vehicles using the streets. If the same ratio between accidents and ve- hic1es obtained today as in previous years, the fatalities would be many times greater, so that in reality big saving in life has been effected through regulation of traffic and the closing of streets for play during cer' | tain hours of the day."
 Almost 12 persons per 100000 numbering 6s4-died in falls, says tht report; 103 from scaffo1ds and build ings and 13S from fire escapes and windows.
 Certainly this was a needless los: of life," says the health department | Almost one-third of these deaths oc
 urred among children under five year of age In other words, among Httl' children who were allowed to go ou on fire escapes or to clean out of win
 dows.
 "SureIy this indicates gross negli gence and calls for active propagand' to educate parents not to permit l1ttl tots to engage in such hazardou forms of p1ay.'
