A BIG LAWSUIT OVER
PALM BEACH CLOTHES
Man Who Bought Them Spent One
Month in Jail Sues for $4,000,

ATLANTA, Ga.-Atlanta can lay
claim to the costliest palm beach suit
on record.
In round numbers the suit which
bids fair to cost about $4,000 has
kept one man in Jail a month and,
to play on the word bit, has bred
five other suits.
The garment was originally pur
chased in 1921 by William Dominick
on the installment plan from a local
credit clothing company for $22 to-
gether with a black hat.
In January, 1922, the clothing COM
pany filed bail trover proceeding to
recover it, alleging that payments had
not been made. Dominick filed injunc-
ton papers to restrain the bail trover
proceedings.
The case came up for trial but was
never settled. On August l4th the
clothing company had Dominick ar
rested and he remained in Fulton sail
for over a month. This particular case
came up for trial on November 9th
and was thrown out of court.
There are four suits. The fifth got
under way when Dominick filed suit
for $4,000 damages against the cloth
ing company on account of the cha
grin, humiliation and suffering he en-
dured while i'll the bastile.

NEW BOAT TAI"
BULLET is WONDER
TESTS SHOW THAT 1T HAS IN
CREASED THE RANGE OF
ARMY RIFLE 1,400 YARDS.

Work of army experts since the war
has produced a new rife bullet known
as boat tail' because Of a six de-
gree taper at the tail. Exhaustive tests
by the army have shown that the
change in shape has added 1,400 yards
to the maximum range attained and
hattening the transjectory or arc OF
flight at 1000 yards approximately 81
per cent.
In addition, the army experts have
worked out a new jacket for the bull
lets that virtually eliminates fouling
OF gun barrels.
1t is a 90 per cent copper and 10
per cent zinc composition that leaves
the rifing clear of clogging metal, and
will increase the accuracy of rifles
and machine guns.
Tests at the army infantry school
have fixed the maximum range of the
new bullet at 1890 yards as compared
to $3.50 yards with the present ammu-
milton. 1t also has been demonstrate
ed that at 900 yards with new ammu-
milton it is possible to put every shot
into the circle the size of a teacup. as
the boat-tail bullet is less subject to
wind current DETECTION.
The army has in reserve a vast
store OF war time rife ammunition
which will be used up before any
project OF equipment with the new
model 1922 e. boat tail bullet ammu-
milton is undertaken. 1t is expected
however, that the great accuracy OF
the new ammunition will play its part
in further international rifle matches
For war purposes, officers believe
the greatest advantage of the boat
tail" will be in the increased range
and effectiveness OF machine gun fire
1t means an increase OF at least Sc
per cent in the deadliness OF machine
gun barrage fire, because of the fiat
ter trajectory alone.
With present ammunition, firing al
1000 yards, the bullet reaches an ele-
walton of 1872 inches at the top OF the
arc. With the new bullet the maxi.
mum rise is 1872 inches Translated
into terms of danger to the enemy a
the point on which fire is directed thi:
means that there is a space OF 13(
yards where no man on his feet would
be safe, while with the present am
munition the space is 100 yards.
Swiss experts worked out a "boat
tail' bullet many years ago and the
high degree of efficiency in rifle work
obtained by the Swiss in the interna
tional competitions rests in part or
such ammunition.
The French also began work n 1895
on changing the base OF the bullet:
to decrease the air suction that helC
them back in fight, but French de
velopment for service use was not car
ried very far.
During the war German. sharl
shooters, working at long range, useC

foreign developments, however, ha.

BARRIERS DO WELL
TO SIDESTEP THEM
AUSTRAL ISLANDERS FILLED
WITH TERROR WHEN HAIR
IS CUT. FEAR FIAWAIIANS.

HONOLULU, Hawaii.-Desire on
the part of ]. E. G. Stokes, ethnologist
OF the Bishop museum, to obtain sam
pies OF hair of Austral Islanders for
anthropometrical purposes came near
upsetting the plans OF the scientist and
his wife by which the hoped to add
another link to the chain OF evidence
which may ultimately solve the prob
lem of the origin and migration Of
the Polynesian race, including the Ha-
waiian.
Two Years in Austral Islands.
Mr.. and Mrs. Stokes returned to
Honolulu Saturday on the steamer Nj
agara after more than two years in
the Austral Islands, where Mr.. Stokes
made exhaustive studies in connection
with scientific explorations being car
ried on by the Bishop museum in CO.
operation with Yale university.
He brought to Honolulu one of the
strangest stories that has come out OF
the South Seas in this modern day
the story of native people who, al
though civilized to an exceptionally
less by the ancient superstitions OF
their forbears.
Wanted Photographs.
The episode occurred on the Island
of Rurutu, one of the five islands of
the Austral group. Stokes, assisted by
his wife, had set about the taking of
measurements of the natives for the
purpose of comparing these data with
the physical characteristics of other
South Sea island natives He desired
to obtain photographs of the natives
whom he measured, these also to be
used Tor comparison.
The work of measuring the people
progressed satisfactorily, but the snag
was struck when Stokes expressed a
desire for a clipping of hair from each
subject.
The beans were spilled when Stokes
made the suggestion concerning the
hair clippings. There was almost in
stantly revived in the minds of the ma
tives an ancient superstition in con-
nection with various phases OF sorcery
which undoubtedly were practiced by
their iorbears.
These natives knew Mr.. and Mrs.
Stokes were from the Hawaiian is
lands and the scientists later ascer-
tanned the people of Rurutu were
afraid of the Hawaiians because of the
''anaana," or practice Of praying a
person to death, which was in vogue
in the days of the ancient "kahuna,"
or witch doctor.
They Fear Hawaiians.
The Rurutu natives gained the i'm
preston that the locks of their hair
which Stokes proposed to take from
them would be sent back to Hawaii
and natives in there would proceed to
pray" to death those from whose
heads the hair had been clipped.
| Stokes camera came to the rescue.
He had promised photograph to each
native he measured and whose hair he
could clip. Photographs were to be
| free.
For time the natives were unde-
cided. Finally the desire for the pict-
ures won, the 'anaana" of the Hawaii
ans was apparently forgotten, and
Stokes proceeded about his work, al
though there was native preacher
a sort of supreme ruler over all the
natives-who continued to favor
! Stokes with black looks.

REORGANIZATION TO BE
SWEEPING IN ITS EXTENT
Details of Changes in Governmental
Departments Made Public.

WASHINGTON, D. "Details of
the proposed reorganization OF the
government departments as worked
out by Walter F. Brown, ex-officio
chairman of the joint congressional
committee appointed to consider the
schedule in consultation with some
cabinet members and other officials,
and recently approved by President
Harding were forwarded to the joint
committee today.
Outstanding among the reCommen-
dations is the proposal to consolidate
the war and navy departments into a
department of national business and
to establish department OF education
and welfare. Other proposals include:
The transfer OF all non-mllitary
functions from the war and navy de-
partments to civilian departments
chiefly commerce and interior.
The elimination OF all non-hscal
functions from the treasury depart
ment.
The change OF the name OF the
ment of communications.
The transfer OF the bureau OF in
sular affairs from the war to the state
department.
counting office now independent, with
the treasury department.
Numerous transfers OF bureaus
would be brought about under the
present reorganization, which seeks to
attach to each department all of its
departmental establishments except
those performing judicial functions or
acting as service agencies for all de-
partments.
Control of the forest lands, which,
it is understood, has resulted in con-
ficting views within the cabinet,
would remain in the department OF
agriculture.
The question OF transferring the
forestry bureau to the department OF
the interior is said to have been a
stumbling block in the committee con-
sideration OF reorganization plans and
to have led to delay in its completing
its work

KING "TUTS" TOMB
HAS BEEN SEALED
EXCAVATORS CALL ON MOD
ERN MAGIC TO PROTECT
MUMMY. LATEST IDEA.

King Tutankhamen's tomb in Egypt
has been finally closed to visitors, sew
eral hundred persons having inspect
ed it since the inner chamber was
opened. Carpenters have finished the
work Of saving lengths OF heavy tim
Der with which the whole shaft has
been filled. The beginning of the hot
season in Egypt makes work at the
tomb impossible, hence the decision
to seal the underground chamber until
the temperature moderates in the aut-
umn.
A new iron door, charged with cleo
tricity, is the latest idea OF the eXca-
vators to safeguard the royal mummy
from robbers while the tomb is closed
till next season. The danger Of at
tempted robbery in the lonely Valley
of the Kings is so great that the eX-
cavators even considered the posslbili-
ty of daring thieves tunneling into
Tutanhamens tomb from the tomb OF
Rameses which is Immediately above
it.
Tutankhamen's bodyguard, there
fore, until next season will be two
massive iron gates, one electrically
charged, and several tons OF lime
stone which will completely fill in the
cavity at the entrance and hide all
trace of the tomb.
Would Copy "Tut's" Attire.
An unusual development of the pub
lie interest in Tutankhamen was
shown when the fashion designers OF
the Rue De La Paix, OF Paris, sent
cables to Egypt for the exclusive
right to copy Tutankhamen'S robes in
order that the spring froCks at Ascot
and elsewhere may have tropical
snap about them.
Archeologists are disappointed,
while Biblical students, who believe
the tomb may contain papyri reveal
ing much concerning events a genera
ton or two before Moses time, are
impatient because of the sealing OF
the tomb, even Temporarily.
Egypt Will Exploit Research.
The native Egyptian values two
things, ditchwater, which means ir-
rigation and crops, and money" Sir
Ernest Bulge, Psychologist of the
British museum, declares He knows
when he has something from which
he can make money, and his slogan is
nothing for nothing and mighty little
for two pence, so Egypt can be eX-
pected to exploit the attention now
focused on her tombs to the full linn
il"
1t is said that Sir Ernest shares the
view OF the French authority, NJ.
Benedite, that the tomb now under
examination at Luxor is "a very me-
diocre specimen, certainly not built
for pharoah." He does not, however,
question Lord Carnarvon's protested
belief that Tutankhamen's mummy is
inside it.
