DELAWARE KEEPS STRICT
VIGIL FOR PESKY BEETLE

MILFORD, Del, Aug. 22.-State
authorities in their quarantine are
using every known method to keep
the Japanese beetle from orchards
and crops.
There have been several isolated
cases of the beetle in Delaware, but
are thought to be mistaken identity,
as so far the State Board of Agri-
culture has been unable to find
any trace of the bug.
In an effort to check its In
vasion the State police have been
enlisted in the cause and are check
ing up on all imports. One arrest
was made on Friday by member
of the State police of a man charged
with violating the quarantine law
which requires that all produce
brought to Delaware from infected
areas of other States must first be
government inspected and marked
free from the beetle larvae.
The highway police are inspecting
every load OF fruit or product
brought to Delaware, and all avenues
from States where the bug Is de-
stroying vegetation are guarded.

'SPOOK' MYSTERY SOLVED
BY FINDING OF CORPSE

NEW YORK, Aug. 22.-Identifica-
ton Of a man found in the window
less garret of a ramshackle farm
house near Nyack, N. Y, as that
of Alexander p. Achimore, thirty
six years old, an electrical engineer,
has revealed the strange story OF
how the man, sick and in morbid
revolt against the routine of city
life, sought to hide himself com
pletely from the world.
From early in May until some
time last month he secluded himself
in the unlighted garret, venturing
out only at times for the bits OF
food he could pilfer from the tents
of campers on Rockland Lake, be-
side the house. His presence was
not entirely unknown. Never seen
he became a mystery. Campers
who wandered into the house heard
feet upon the stairs. But when
they searched the upper floors they
found nobody.
BY the time the Chelsea Presby'
terian Church, Manhattan, took
over the house for Il summer camp
In June, the phantom footsteps
were already the subject of low
voiced stories at midnight camp
fires around the lake. Only today
was 1t learned the "spook" was the
discontented engineer.

BUREAU To AID
IF.SHOPP|NC
ETHICS
Service includes Detection and
Correction Of Errors in
Advertisements.

An extensive shoppers service has
been inaugurated by the Washing
ton Better Business Bureau to aid
local merchants In maintaining
standards of advertising, merchafl-
disc and service and to detect and
lead to the correction Of errors in
advertising.
Shoppers representing the bureau
are visiting an average Of at least
ten local establishments daily. 1t
was stated today.
While the shoppers service has
been in practice for some time
under the Better Business Bureaus
in other cities, this Is the first at
teGpt made here to organize q
thorough system Of this sort, though
some Of the larger concerns main
tain similar services Of their own.
Method Of Procedure.
Armed with advertisements of
the local concern scheduled for in
vestigation, a shopper will visit
the store and carefully examine
the goods advertised, paying espe-
cial attention to detect false state.
ments in the advertisements re-
garding material or workmanship.
Three classes of report sheets
have been prepared by the Better
Business Bureau for this class Of
work. On these sheets are entered
the name of the advertiser, the
statement investigated, the time
and date and a description of the
sales person. One sheet indicates
that errors were found in adver-
tisement, the second that Sin the
shoppers opinion" there were er-
rors in the advertisement and the
third sheet that there were no
errors.
Advertising Usually Accurate.
Preliminary work has shown. It
Is stated, that Washington adver-
tising is remarkably clean and ac-
curate, and there is comparatively
little untruthful advertising con.
Quoted either Intentionally or
through error.
Officials Of the bureau are pleased
with the results Of the recent
action of Washington fur retailers.
A large number Of representative
merchants handling furs recently
met under the auspices of the
bureau and framed a code Of advAr-
tising ethics to guide all local deal
ers in furs. This code is being
strictly adhered to, bureau officials
stated today.
1--WE examined every item of fur
advertising in the Sunday papers
this week." said Louis Rothschild,
assistant director of the bureau
''and were unable to find a single
error in statement or implication"
Service to Continue.
The bureau has been assisted by
shoppers attached to local storee,
who have submitted reports OF
errors in advertising.
The shoppers service will be con-
tinued in conjunction with the COM
Ing campaign to establish adver-
tising codes Of ethics in every line
of retail business In Washington,
1t is stated.

Jack Knight Speeds
Through Fog, Making
Aerial Mail History

Aviation history was written early
today by James H. Knight, known
throughout the aerial world as
"Jack" Knight, former Washing
ton man.
In the most daring effort in re-
cent aviation history, Jack knight,
in the dead Of night and through a
fog, pushed his powerful plane to its
limit and carried west-bound mail,
which had left New York fifteen
hours before, to Cheyenne, nearly
two hours ahead Of his schedule.
The greater part of the flight was
made at a height of less than 800
feet above the ground at a speed of
more than 100 miles an hour, all the
way through a binding fog.
What landmarks Knight was able
to follow during his trip were located
through the aid Of his 24O, 900 can.
dlepower landing lights. one mount.
ed on each wing tip. These lights
are OF about the same power as the
locomotive headlights.
Kept to His Course.
Occasionally Knight was able tc
pick up one of the minor guiding
flares along the route as the fog
thinned out momentarily. Despite
the fact that he flew ''blind" prac.
tically the entire distance, he picked
up Cheyenne only a hundred yards
off his course.
He put his ship down on the Chey
enne landing field at $3.50 o'clock
this morning, though he was no!
scheduled to land there until 4:30
just before dawn.
Knight picked his mail up al
Omaha after magnificent relays
from New York.
The mail was relayed from the
New York plane at Cleveland. Here
only four minutes. elapsed between
the time the New York plane landed
and the Chicago-bound plane took
off. A six-minute relay was made at
Chicago. At Omaha, Knight had his
big machine on the field all warmed
up and with the motor running as
the plane arrived from Chicago with
the mail and TAXED alongside for
the transfer.
Necessary To Fly Low.
Then began the remarkable flight
through gathering night and thicken-
ing fog until knight, in order TO
maintain his bearings, was compelled
to fly so low that he was at times
actually forced to hurdle nigh OBJ
structions on the ground.
Jack Knight is one OF the nations
most. experienced pilots. He holds
the distance and the service records
of the air mail. His mileage in car
rying the mails is now more than
250,00O miles. He has probably
covered twice this distance in his
aviation experience.
He has been an air mail pilot
since June rs, 1919, just little more
than a year after the establishment
of the service. He was formerly on
the Washington-New York air mail
route and is well known in the
Capital.

John E. Edgerton Points Out
Necessity Of Using Savings
Correctly.
BY JOHN e. EDGERTON,
President American Manufacturers As
ISOLATION.

SOC1AC1Ous
LEBANON, Tenn, Aug. 22.-My
first $1,000 was invested in real
estate, and my return on" It In
twenty-five years. has been approx
mately $4,000. I have made few
as wise investments as my first,
but the psychology OF that initial
investment has been very helpful
to me.
It is pre-eminently important that
a mans investments of his first
81, 900 be a success. He may take
chances with his second 6r his
third thousand that he should not
take with his first, for sometimes
a business career turns upon the
first trial of ones business 5u0g'
ment. &
This first investment should be
In real estate or some first class
security from which may De con,
servatively expected an 8 or 10
per cent return. Such investment
opportunities are in practically
every community.
The extremes Of ultra conserva-
tism and of strong speculative
impulses are the dangers which q
young man should avoid carefully
at the beginning Of his investing
career. The former would send
him with his first $1,000 to a
8 or 4 per cent savings bank. while
the. latter would send him on a
hunt for propositions glittering
with the prospect Of several hun
dred per cent.
He should want his money to be
serving society in a useful way
while it brings him a substantial
safe return. AS his fortune grows
he may more reasonably yield
measurably to the whisperings OF
his natural speculative spirit.
Finally, every young man should
know he has no moral right to
waste money or to hoard it. 1t is
one of the supreme obligations of
life to save money, multiply 1t
honestly and use it wisely as a
trust fund for the benefit Of
society in general.
