JAPAN is READY TO SCRAP
WARSHIPS UNDER TREATY

Toxic, August 10.-(By the Asso-

tions of the five-power agreements
drawn at the disarmament conference
are ratified by the United States,
Great Britain and Japan, the Japanese
admiralty will put into effect plans
already made for scrapping war ton
mage under the naval limitation plan.
The admiralty explained that until
these powers take action Japan did
not feel justified in scrapping a sin

A strong party here would favor
making the five-power treaty a three
power one should France and Italy
fail to ratify.
The admiralty will announce soon
the scrapping programs.
Reports of the vernacular press that

Japan is eager for financial reasons
to carry out the terms of the treaty
as quickly as possible. But the diet
has not yet voted money for the pur-
pose.

TRYING TO Get
SPECIAL RATES
TO SOUTHEAST

A movement is under way by the
Florida Realtors Association to Sc
cure for the southeastern section of
the United States the benefit of spe-
cial homeseekers rates. 1t is desired
to secure for this section of the coun-
try the same privileges enjoyed by
other sections. To that end individual
members of the Florida Realtors As
sociation have addressed communica-
tions to the railroad officials in order
to secure this special recognition. In
the report of j. l.. Wallace, secretary
OF the organization, presented to the
officers and governing board on July
goth. there is included mention of the
progress made in securing these
homeseekers' rates which are on the
basis of one fare plus So for the
round trip.
The following communication has
been addressed to the Southeastern
Passenger Association by a local real
estate concern, the Kaufmann-Halde-
man Company:

Dear Sir:-The officers and mem
bers of the Florida Realtors Associa-
tion are making strong efforts to Sc
cure homeseekers' rates to the south
eastern section, one fare plus $500
for the round trip.
This is very important matter
and means so much to the growth
and development of the state of Flor
ida. AS residents of this wonderful
state and members of the Florida
Realtors Association, we heartily join
in this movement and respectfully
urge you to give our appeal for res
tOration of homeseekers rates at the

We sincerely hope our request for
these rates will be granted
Yours very truly,

MULES LONG In DARKNESS
ABLE TO FACE THE LIGHT

Hazlcton, Pa, Aug. 1O,LThe coal
mine mule. which ordinarily spends
years OF his life in the darkness OF
mine tunnels far under ground re.
tains his eyesight even though he
does not use his eyes.
SO veterinarians in the anthracite
region have determined following eX-
animation of many of the mules which
have been brought to the surface
since the mines closed down last
spring.
With this announcement the veter-
'inarians exploded a theory held by
many for years-that because he did
not have any use for his eyes, the
mule lost his sight.
The coal mine mule usually begins
life like any common farm mule.
Once he becomes a mine worker how
ever. things change He is sent far
underground into the dar workings
of the hard coal mines and there
he stays, often for the remainder
of his life. Being a hardy animal
he sometimes remains in the mines
for twenty years without seeing day
light.
When the mules were hoisted to
the surface and turned loose upon
the companies properties some of
them blinked a bit at the sunlight.
When the veterinarians looked them
over they found their eyes were there
and as good as ever.

ENGLAND DOUBTFUL MARKET
FOR AMERICAN RADIO SETS

London, Aug. 10.-American and
other foreign wireless apparatus will
be excluded from use by British
broadcasting firms if a recommends
tion of Postmaster-General Kellaway
is adopted by the Cabinet. Mr.. Kella-
way urges that for a period of two
years lincenses for broadcasting
should contain a provision that only
British instruments should be used.
Following the example of American
journals, the British newspapers and
magazines are devoting columns and
pages to wireless topics. But broad
casting in this country is in an al
most nebulous stage, and wireless re
ceiving by the masses has not attain
ed anything like the popularity it en-
joys in the United States.
The government is slow in inaugur.
ating general broadcasting scheme
Some newspapers are warning anna.
teurs to be careful about cheap re-
ceiving sets-some of them of Ameri
can and French origin-which are be-
ing widely offered.
D. ''1f broadcasting were officially es.
tablished in England the whole posi-
ticn would become clearer" w. w
Drury, managing director of the Mar
conf company said recently. "How.
ever, the Marconi company anticipates
large demand in the future for re
ceiving sets and it is turning out
many thousands of them.
When the winter evenings come and
people want to sit at home and listen
to the outside world. there will be q
great increase in the demand"

Fine" said the Swiss bankers,

troleum, both of which you produce

ments concluded.
Similar borrowing and paying by
barter also has taken place with
Czecho-Slovakia. Here. again, Czecho
Slovakia is receiving Swiss manufac
tured goods and is to pay for them
with truckloads of sugar. Therefore
the question of exchange and the
comparative values of the Czecho-Slo-
vakian krone and the Swiss franc
does not arise.
