the theory that the government which
undertakes to guide with the greatest

Abner Lee Squigglns
A Fictional Character,
Says Letter, Explaining

Abner Lee Squiggins, who gained
nationwide notoriety as the man
who did not know the Civil war had
ended" has been revealed as a fic'
tional character created by Frank
Mccarthy, Northampton, Mass,
newspaper man ana curio collector,
according to a letter received by At
torney General Napier.
That the quaint New England
character was only a hoax was re-
vealed when the Sons and Daughters
of the Confederacy, through Harry
D. Calhoun, of Barnwell, S. c., Of
fered to make up a fund with which
to reimburse Squiggins for the
money which he had invested in the
Confederate bond, which, as every
one knows, was redeemed by the
Georgia attorney general in Confed-
crate currency.
In his letter to Mr. Calhoun, a copy
of which was sent to Attorney Gen
eral Napier, Mr.. MacCarthy explain
ed that the creation of SQuiggins
was only a joke, and that he hoped
no one had been harmed by the
hoax. He praised the Sons and
Daughters of the Confederacy for
their splendid offer to redeem the
Confederate currency on the strength
that Squiggins might be "old and
destitute except for the $500 which
he had invested in the Lost Cause.

MONTGOMERY, Ala. Feb. 49,
Privileges of religious consolation
and "decency of Christian burial"
are denied some of Alabama's pau
pers, DR.. Glenn Andrews declared in
his annual report which was today
made public.
A policy of shameful neglect, the
inspector said, obtains at many of

DIR. Andrews recommends that the
legislature enact comprehensive
statutes to correct the situation.
The average per capita. monthly
cost of maintenance was $14.57, the
report stated, it being explained that
in some counties where wonderful
progress had been made" in caring
for the states wards, the average
cost was much above the average
with a corresponding lower expendi-
ture in those counties where condi-
tons were worse.

ELECTRICALLY CHARGED SAND
USED TO PRODUCE RAINFALL

lists claim that with free electrons
in a. mass of air, each electron at
taches itself to certain number
of molecules and so forms a gas ion,
upon which moisture condenses,
thereby making q cloud particle.
Should the velocity of the electrons
be very great he said they will COM
bine with the artificially charged
particles (as it has been noted that
their fall strongly electrifies sur
rounding air) this will produce a So
called trigger action forcing the
electrical charge in the cloud to
change from a static to kinetic
state. that will rapidly spread or
flash over the whole clouded area,
from the spraying of only few
pounds of dust over a small part
of a highly charged storm move
ment, and force precipitation when
the wet bulb conditions are favor
able, over the dry sections where it
is required in place of falling as
it now does over oceans or large
bodies of water where it is not re-
quired.
1t was found in the experiments
that wherever the charged particles
of sand, in sufficient quantity, were
released at the top of a cloud and
the cloud was of opposite charge to
the sand a large hole, in fraction
Of a minute, was made through the
entire cloud from top to bottom.
No large scale attempts were made.
Warren said at artificial rain-mak-
ing with Nimbus, Cumulo Nimbus or
other heavy rain clouds as the eX-
periments were solely directed at the
removal of mists and fogs covering
areas extensive enough to justify
the army air service in installing the
process over one of it's foggy flying
fields. He said that all heavy rain
clouds are highly electrified and it
was not deemed safe to deal with
them with high voltages until meas
ures were taken to guard against
possible accident to the pilots and
planes.
At it's Moundsville, w. Va, field
the army air service proposes to en-
ploy a captive balloon, containing an
electric equipment and anchored by
cable to a track. The balloon and
equipment will keep the field and
surrounding regions free from fog,
and also serve as a beacon night and
day during misty or foggy weather.
At night the balloon will be illum1-
mated, so that it may be seen by fly
ers, and the location Of the open and
free landing space determined.

Decrease in Cotton
Stocks Is Indicated
By World Summary

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. ~
The department of commerce has
completed through it's domestic and
foreign staff the third world cotton
summary during the last year. 1t
shows that on July 81, 1922, the
world stock of American cotton was
5,123,000 bales and world stocks of
all kinds of cotton Gncluding Amer
ican) were 1885, 900 bales.
Adding this seasons production
of 1854, 600 bales of American cot
ton and 1864, 900 bales of all kinds,
total supply for the season 1922
% of 15,0S7,000 bales of American
and 27,200,000 bales of all kinds is
shown. This is less by about 2 IA
million bales of American and the
same amount of all kinds of cot
ton than the supply for 1912.
From this total supply subtract
the estimated consumption for the
year 1929 of 12,312,000 bales of
American and 20,579,000 of all kinds
of cotton and the indicated carry
over on next August 1, 1923, is
only two and three-fourths million
bales of American and six and one
half million of all kinds. That is,
the stocks of American cotton will
have diminished over six and one
half million bales and stocks of all
kinds, over 100000 bales within
only two years, and will have
reached an abnormally low total.
The consumption estimates COW
ering 1929 are based upon re-
ports submitted by government rep
resentatives abroad, which gave the
consumption in each country re-
ported on, for the first four months
Of the season, August l to Decem-
Der 1, 1922. From these consump-
ton figures for the first four
months, estimates have been made
for the entire year. Due considera-
ton has been given to general
economic conditions. as well as to
special conditions affecting the tex
tile industry in each country; and
if some unforeseen change does not
occur, it is believed that the totals
given are approximately correct.
Allowance has already been made
for decreases in consumption in
many of the countries during the
remaining months of the season /;
but if the price Of cotton should go
so high as to cause general cur
tailment of mill consumption, the
quantities consumed for the remain
der of the cotton year might fan
off so sharply that the above totals
would not be reached.
