WASHINGTON DAYBY DAY

Continued from page one)
MacNidr. Whether President Harding
will care to make reply to such a
rather insulting message remains to
he seen The best judgment IN
Washington tonight is he will SIMPLY
acknowledge receipt OF the message
and will make no comment Whatever
The Congress and the War De-
nartment are adverant over the qual-
ifcations of "lighter-than-air' ma
chimes as result Of the explosion
of the Roma at Norfolk. Despite
the fact that Congress may not see
fit to appropriate any further none!
for the Air Service SO far as 1t per-
tains to lighter-than-air machines,
army officers conversant with the
catastrophe which .befell the Roma
saw that such experiments are IN.
cvitible and that the great loss Oh
life which took place ON the FORMER
Italian balloon cannot be attrinatcae
to single defect in construction OF
the machinery which guided TINS
greater than air balloon. The argu-
ment at the War Department today
is, had the Roma been provided with
a sufficient amount Of Helium gas
she would have sailed at her distance
TO earth without the calamity when
occurred at Langley Field. Othcers
on duty at the War Department con,
versant with the Air Service say that
the collapse of this great lighter
than-air machine will not stop eX-
pertinent along the same lines.
Congress may fail to provide any
more money for experiments OF this
kind" said leading officer AR
service of the army today, "but such
catastrophe does not indicate we will
abolish this particular type of flying
vessel if we believe that it will prove
sufficiently worthy to counteract any
machines now on the
market.
Congress may not provide any
further funds for its experiments IN
Iiehter-than-air machines but the
army air service--despite this terri"
bic catastrophe at Langley Field
will go on with this experiment prof
ting by such disaster and gaining
knowledge which is bound to come
from incidents Of the kind"

3. That the craft became unman-

reservation, narrowly missing $50

4. That the immediate cause OF the
explosion with such force as to wreck
the entire craft and set her on ire was
contact with net Of 2.2OO-volt nigh
power electric wires, less than 100 feet
from where the Roma crashed into 4
pile of debris.
5. That the Liberty motors, which

more tangible should be learned than

Flexible Arch
Like the Foot

, Do you know that the arch of your
foot is flexible? 1t is composed OF
small bones which fley every step you
take. Muscles and ligaments hold the
bones in place.
Do you realize that the ordinary
shoe has a piece of steel concealed IN
the arch, making the shoe stiff right
at the point where your foot must
iex? Weak, or fallen, arches come
when the muscles and ligaments fail
to hold the arch bones in their nor
NAL position. =,
You can have strong, healthy feet
by wearing Cantilever Shoes. They
have a flexible arch like your foot.
There is no metal in the shank to stiff
fen the shoe where it ought to flex.
This fexibility permits your mus
cles to exercise and the blood to cir
culate properly. Your feet strengthen.
You enjoy walking-and you don't
mind standing, for the Cantllever
Shank supports the foot restfully:
The toes are not crowded. Your
posture is good, for the heels are OF
proper height to be healthful--.and
stylish! The comfort of Cantilever
Shoes is doubly enjoyable because they
are good looking and fashionable Tor
DAYTIME or semi-dress occasions.

WEATHER FORECAST
Cloudy weather and moderate tenn
perature tonight and Sunday, possi-
bly, rain on the coast.


Under Rothschlld auspices, zoo
logical expedition, composed Of one
Englishman and one Scotchman, is
forcing its way deep into the heart
Of the Sahara desert, region which
is practically unmapped zoologlcally,
the Living Age states.
At its head Is Capt. Angus Buchanan
geological explorer Of great skill
and experience. The expedition has
been sent to find and collect birds,
animals and plants wherever il is able
to penetrate, to look for any traces
OF Roman or other classical clvillza-
tlon In the central Sahara, and to
secure camera and motion-picture
records Of the habits, customs and
general mode of life of the inhabitants
Of the country.
The expedition, with It's camel cara
van, Is now heading for the desert
north Of Nigeria. Communications are
necessarily very irregular, for there
are only five main roads across the
desert, some Of which have never yet
been travelled by Europeans. Once
Captain Buchanan leaves the French
post of Agades there may be no news
from him for months.

BRATTLEB0RO BOY
RIVALS JIM THORPE
Eugene Moran May Equal Record
made BY Wonderful indian
Athlete

The following was taken from the
Detroit Free Press:
In the mountainous country OF the
state of Vermont star has arisen on
tie athletic horizon-a lad who al
ready has attracted the attention Of
several big schools and colleges by
his phenomenal work, as member
of the Brattleboro high school teams.
They call i'm second Jim Thorpe.
Like the great Indian athlete, he got
his start in small lschool team.
Eugene Morans feats on the field
of sport have stood out so brilliantly
that many believe he is destined to be
the greatest all-around athlete since
Jim Thorpe won the .lonor more than
a decade ago.
Moran is II years old He started
his athletic career three years ago
and since then aAe has gone ahead BY
leaps and bounds, until now, with one
more year of high school, he is being
sought by coaches in several states.
Two of his brothers were star per-
formers at the same school, but Eu.
gene has outshone them. The only
trouble with the boy, according to the
men who have been coaching him, Is
that he is going aAead too fast.
He recently took up pole vaulting
and has done IL feet. In his fresh
man year he won the interscholastic
state championship at the Uniyer-
Isity of Vermont, and as about l25
boys from dozen or more high and
preparatory schools participated, the
winning of the individual honor by
freshman of Is years was exceptional.
He duplicated the same feat last year
and this,
He took part in the 100 yard dash,
220 yard dash, 120 high hurdles, 12O
yard low hurdles, broad jump and pole
vault. He did the 100 in 10 3-5, the
22O in "a 3-5, and in the 220 yard
hurdles he made q 1-5 on two oc'
casions.
| He made the football team in his
freshman year, being accepted by
experts for quarterback in the ALI
Connecticut Valley team. He plays
baseball, skates, and is an excellent
swimmer. His records were made on
days in which he competed in six or
more events.
I In three track meets last spring
young Moran won IS places, scoring
80 points for his team. He hasn't
made up his mind what college he
, will attend after he graduates next

ROAD LEADING 4.
INTO BENNINGTON
WILL BE MARKED
Village Officials Undertake
Work on Own Initiative
SIGNS ON ALL HIGHWAYS
Motorists Will Easily Find Their
Way to Metropolis of
Southwestern Vermont

The village officials acting In an
unofficial capacity, have Undertaken
to mark the highways leading into
Bennington with suitable signs. They
have adopted the plan as individuals
and are endeayor .ng to raise the funds
with which to finance the project.
II Is the purpose of the officials
to mark every main line highway lead
ing into Bennington for distance OF so
niles and to so mark them that auto
mobile drivers will experience no diff
ficulty In locating their destination
provided they are on their way to or
through Bennington.
1t Is the purpose of the officials to
purchase metal signs guaranteed for
a period of ten years. The metal will
be placed upon suitable backings and
the signs will be erected at cross roads
and other points on the highways.
Persons who motor from Bennington
to points in other states and into
other localities are continuallf COM
menting upon the presence or absence
OF highway signs. On some roads 1t
Is possible Tor a person, with no prev
ious knowledge of the country, to
maintain his journey from town to
town with feeling of ease and free
from anxiety that he may be off the
course he had planned to take On
other roads it is necessary to make
frequent inquiries for directions.
1t is hte purpose OF the village offic-
ials to so distinctly mark the roads
leading into Bennington that the auto
bilist headed toward the best town in
the state will know that he is no only
on his way but viii also be sure OF
reaching his destination by the most
direct route.

ALL ACCORDING TO NATURE
Animals and 6Irds Universally Obey
Law Seemingly implanted by a
Supreme Intelligence.

Strange things happen In the
jungles. Carveth Wells, explorer and
lecturer, tells about the hornbIlls
lOng-tailed birds so big they often
measure FIVE feet from tail tip TO
beak. In Malay jungles Wells saw
the male hornbill during the mating
season drive the female into a hollow
tree, then wall up the opening with
mud. This protects Mamma Hornbill
against enemies. She stays in her
Jail until eggs are laid and hatched.
Then pa lets her out. Meantime he
has fed her through a small opening
left In the mud. He gathers the food
by using his saw-toothed beak to cut
fruits and flowers from their stalks.
Maybe that's where man originally
got his Idea for the saw, now used
to cut boards.
Not necessary to go as far as Ma
laysia. In Canada, when timber wolves
mate, Mrs. Wolf hunts q cavern with a
roof that slopes downward to. meet
the floor In v-shape. She pushes her
young far back In the V. This is to
keep Pa Wolf from eating his family.
Mother Wolf can get at the babies
easily, with her small body. Pa Wolf,
having larger body, cannot wedge
himself in far enough to reach them.
Wise nature that makes Mother Wolf
smaller than pa. Wise Mother Wolf
that knows, in advance. her husbands
appetite and how TO battle 1t.
Seals swim north to rookeries or
breeding grounds. The male seals go
first, house hunting. After they have
located good homes, near plentiful
food SUPPLY messengers swim back
to summon the COW seals.
In the baby ward of hospital you
see infants, each In his own bed, all
very orderly. Mother Bee does the
same, builds an apartment house of
cells with wax walls. In each cell
one egg is laid and one individual
raised. Wasps have the same system,
manufacturing In their bodies the pa.
per with which they make the cells.
Ants build their nurseries in the earth
or rotted trees, with many bedrooms,
also corridors through which Mother
Ant dashes about. peering into each
room to see that baby Is o. X, then
on to the next.
You cannot explain these peculiar
things In nature. any more than you
can explain why male peacock al.
ways has four wives, never more, nev-
er less. All forms Of life seem to re-
volve around the function of having
children. Considering the lntricacles
and far-sightedness Of what we call
nature, 1t is bewllderlng how any man
can fail to believe that Supreme In.
telllgence Is behind 1t ALL
