NOT THE WORK OF GHOSTS"
Seemingly Simple Explanation for Be-
lief That Tumbledown House
Was Haunted.

Residents of Jacksonville, Fla, do
no; have to go to sea to get seasick.
Near this city there is said to be
haunted" house that thousands have
visited In the last few weeks and all
have had the feeling of seasickness on
stepping into the little shack. II is on
the beach at Neptune. which is a con-
tinuation of Pablo beach.
During a recent storm the front sup
porting pillars of the house gave way
so that the small structure tilted over
At an angle of about % degrees at one
corner. A negro was sent to remove
the furniture and came back ashy with
fright saying the place was haunted.
He declared that he became violently
III the moment he entered the house,
and was thrown to the floor. The
owner of the shack investigated and
found that he, too, had been in the
house only a few minutes before he
became sick. Since news of the
haunted house" has spread many
have visited it; some have reported
receiving electrical shocks in addition
TO the seasickness. One enterprising
man. leased the shack and began to
charge admission. and was making
money until the police arrested him
for doing business without license.
Finally a party Of newspaper men
visited the house and stayed for the
night. Their opinion was that the sea-
sickness felt by all who entered the
house was not caused by ghosts. but
by the angle at which the house is
tilted and by the further fact that as
they looked out Of the house they saw
the rolling waves Of the Atlantic
ocean.

British Plan to Harness Winds.

A plan to harness the winds and
make them produce electricity for
rural districts has been presented to
the British ministry of agriculture. The
scheme involves the erection on hill

These wings will be spun by the wind
horizontally Just above the ground.
Proponents Of the plan assert that
unlimited amounts OF electricity can be
obtained in this way at a minimum

the scheme, and II 1t proves feasible,
1t Is planned to build several Of the
generating stations in out-of-the-way
districts.

UPHOLD PRICES By
GOVERNMENT AID

WASHINGTON, March 2e. = The
next Congress VIII accept the prlnci-
pie Of price Standardization. IS the
startling prediction BY Congressman
Clyde Kelly Of Pennsylvania.
The suggestion that business
man may file a list Of his prices with
the government. and that these
prices would be Investigated BY a
government board Is an alarming de-
parture from the theory that no one
can interfere with a mans business.
This change has been drought
about, according to Congressman
Kelly. by the United States supreme
courts contradictory decisions on
price fixing and the right Of business
men to set their own prices.
It is now proposed to set up ma
chinery for price Standardization to
permit any independent mannfactur-
er Of standard identified articles to
aile schedule with the Federal Trade
Commission, which would investigate
and determine whether the prices
we're fair.
A retallef nandling this article
would be required to offer to resell
them to the manufacturer for the
price he paid for them before he
would be permitted to offer them for
sale to the public at prices lower
than the standard fixed prices.
Under this system manufacturers
OF well-known articles would have
the right to set retail prices and
would have the law aid them in stop
ping retail price cutting by compelI-
ing the retailer to first offer to re-
turn the goods to the manufacturer
for the price he 1.-THE retailer) paid for
them.
This portion of the bill makes it
easy for the manufacturers to wink
the other eye when they deplore gov
eminent interference with business.

RALPH GREENLEAF
AT ACADEMY ALLEYS

The champion cue artist OF the
world in the pocket billiard division,
Mr.. e. Ralph Greenleaf, will be seen
in action at the Academy Bowling
Allies this afternoon and evening and
tomorrow afternoon and evening.
Without doubt Mr.. Greenleaf is the
best cue artist ever developed. having
a high run record that has never been
equaled His highest run to date at
championship rack pool is 265 points.
Unless one has spent more or less
time on the green tables 1t is hard to
conceive just what ability this high
score represents. A person making
runs Of Is to Is points is usually con.
sidered a good player.
In an exhibition match at Seattle
before coming here he made a high
run Of 1913 points in game of $50
points.
Mr.. Greenleaf is only % years old,
and has held the championship for
four years, and during that time has
met all the best cue artists in the
world, beating them generally by 2
to / score.
During his sojourn in Aberdeen he
will cross cues with Louis Lauzon,
Frank Faro, Henry Andrews and A. ].
Skellon in 150-point matches on the
Academy tables. This is a treat CIV.

WORKERS ARE SAVED
FROM STATE CONTROL

ALBANY. N. Y. March 29.-By a
vote Of so to the State Senate bur
led the bill which would empower
the state to regulate trade unions.
The bill was proposed and urged
by Samuel Untermyer, counsel for
the Lockwood committee, which has
been investigating the housing and
related questions.
Organized labor throughout the
state made an aggressive and intelli-
gent campaign against the proposal
and the defeat of the bill is of impor-
lance to the entire trade union move
ment. It's acceptance by the State
Legislature would mean a wave Of
legislation based on the theory that
there is no difference between cor
poration and a group Of human be-
ings who are endeavoring to increase
their living standards.
