RArIsHNENT THREATENED
SEEKS ACCURATE DATA
 UPON WIND PRESSURE
Boston Tech Professor Conducting
 Experiments On Sailing Boat

BOSTON, Juno S0.-(By Associated Press.)-Importan changes in the art of sail cutting may result from experiments being conducted by Prof. Erward P. Warner of the Massachu- setts institute of Technology, on a small boat in the Charles River Basin. Realizing that radical altera- tions in hull designs have resulted from years of experiments and meas urements of resistence, and that that art of sail making and not kept pace with boat construction, small group of yachtsmen about year ago began to discuss the effect of wind on sails.
 After investigation they came to the conclusion that no accurate date on tho subject had ever been com piled and the rule O thumb" meth ods still prevailed. Notable results in the study of the effects of forces on airplane wings were achieved by Professor Warner in the course of the war, and to him the yachtsmen brought their problem.
 He consented to undertake study of the question and the small boat Papoose was commissioned for the fancy. Results alPeady obtained must be assembled and studied Long series of observations at different wind velocities and different angles of sailing must be obtained and plotted. A years program of ex- perimentation has been mapped out.

RESERVE BOARD HITS
 AT EXCHANGE CHARGES
Par Clearance Of Checks Urged By
 Bank Body

WASHINGTON, June 2s.-Extend- ing the scope of their par collection arrangement, the federal reserve board, in a ruling announced tonight. prohibited the federal reserve banks in tho future from receiving Ion de- posit or for collection" checks drawn on banks which demand a fee for col lections. By the same ruling, the board required the banks to make a collection charge not exceeding one tenth of one per cent on checks which bear the indorsement of, or are drawn by or emanated from any non member bank" which refuse to remit at par.
 With the announcement the board issued a formal statement of Its pol ley respecting the par clearance of checks in which 1t declared that banks which did not participate In the par collection arrangement should not be benefited from it. The ar rangement, the statement asserted. Is entirely voluntary and based upon system of reciprocity, and in view of the recent decision of the su- preme court on the question, the board said 1t is certain the federal reserve banks cannot pay exchange.
 In explaining It's position the board said it regarded the creation of the reserve system as in the interest of all commercial and blinking estab- lishments of the country, adding that the membership of the system now numbers 92 per cent of all banking institutions and about 9S per cent of the total banking resources of the country. To these, the statement de- clared, the par collection plan had become a necessary instrumentality' in effecting exchanges.

 You are in the theatre where we receive the American buyers" said the theatre manager, and Amer jeans are very hard to please"
 "The Tiger" said not a word while the film was being shown. When it was over he asked If he might be allowed to make on observation.
 "Of course Certainly! Pray do" came the chorus of assents.

 Maughan gave the speedy Curtiss pursuit plane, In which he will make the attempt, it's final <trycut Satur- day afternoon and expressed complete satisfaction with its performance. For the greater part of a long test flight the machine hit up 17o-mile- an-hour clip.
 Rehearsals in refilling gas and oil tanks were then conducted. The me- chanics were given final instructions and will leave Sunday for their posts at airdromes at Dayton, O., St. Jo- seph, Nc, Cheyenne, Wyo, and salduro, Utah. At each of these points Maughan plans to wing down from the sky for fuel and to be off with a minimum waste of time.
 "The plane's performance was most pleasing" the airman said. "and I'm sure she'll stand up under the test of the trip. I hope to hang up record that will stand for some years"
 Maughan hopes to leave at day break July and reach tho Pacific coast before dark.

TROTZKY'S BOMBAST

"If an ultimatum is presented us," said Trot2ky. to an all-Russian con- gress of metal workers. referring to recent British demands-which, by the way, despite Trotzky's roaring have been yielded to by the soviet let us create & detachment of air planes. If d'tat in Persia, build Bulgaria, let us build another de- tachment of airplanes, and if there is coup d etat in Persia, build moro planes"
 A terrific picture, this, of the pro Ietarian dictatorship filling the heavens with its aerial fleet and raining revolution upon the shriek- ing bourgeoisie scrambling inglori- ously into cellars and caves to es- cape from fiery hail
 But 1t Is one thing to talk about filling the sky with airplanes and quite another to fill 1t. We discov- cred that in 1918. Trotzky would do better with a fleet of balloons. He could supply the gas. As for build ing airplanes to defy or deliver ul- timatiums, we would suggest that Trotzky and his proletarians try their hand first at repairing their railroads and building some locomo- lives. It takes the highest order of skill to build airplanes, and Trotzky's government has done Its best to de- stroy the skilled Russians in the name of proletarian equality. Since then experts have been invited back, but the notion that the soviet gov ernment can build airplanes ad lihi- tum is one of Trotzky's most bonn bastic bluffs.
 And what may be said of this talk of airplanes is true of the whole subject of soviet Russia's military power. The red army has not yet tackled a modern army of first grade. The nearest to this was the Polish army, which was hastily rallied and commanded by French officers at the gates of Warsaw. Then the red army was soundly thrashed. If it had met a French or German army it would not have escaped.
 Modern warfare is supported by a high industrial organization, and calls for not only military skill but industrial science and system. The bolsheviki have not created nor are they creating a high form of eco- homie society. They have reverted to communism. a primitive form, and until they have built up a modern state, modern warfare on any con- siderable scale is out of their reach. TrotZky's talk of building airplanes Is buncombe-Chicago Tribune.

NOTED CRIMINAL. CASES REMANUED. FOR NE W TRIALS.
Court Of Appeals Reverses Decisions In Cases Of Mrs.
 Humber And Ed Pitts
STATE CAPITAL BUREAU l
 THE AGE-HERALD MODtROner-y Ala Juna 30 |

The court of appeals Saturday re- versed the decision of the circuit court in two noted criminal cases, those of Mrs. Leila c. Humber of sentenced to II years for the murder of her husband, and Ed Pitts of Bibb county, who received 10 years for statutory offense, and remanded both cases for new trials.
 Mrs. Humber was convicted in the Russell circiut court of second degree murder for tho killing of her husband. May IS, 1922. There were no eye witnesses, and tho case was reversed on account of admission of certain testimony from witnesses who testi- fled as to the dying statement of the husband, Lucius F. Humber.
 In its decision the court of appeals said that the dying declarations are admissible if they comprise such tes- permitted to testify if living. It was held that tho trial judge erred In per hitting witnesses to testify to certain statements of the dying man which the court held were not part of the res gestae of the shooting, did not relate to the facts but related to the suffering of deceased and his desire for relief from pain, shed no light on the shooting and were inadmissible." The court was divided on the Pitts case, Judge Foster dissenting from the majority opinion.

AURORA BOREALIS) EFFECT ON RADIO WILL BE SOUGHT
Donald Mix, Wireless Anna teur, En Route to The
 Polar Regions
wAsHINGTN. June

wAsHINGTN. June 3o.-When Donald B. MacMillan, we'll known ex- plorer. sailed from Wiscasset. Maine. on the good ship Bowdoin, veteran cruiser of the north seas, he carried with him into polar regions a repre- sentative of the thousands of radio fans in the United States.
 This was another Donald" Don ald H. Mix of Bristol. Conn, himself an amateur, with six years experi- ence in radio work. Mix, young fellow. has already made quite a reputation among amateurs with his station-ITS+at Bristol.
 He will represent amateurs of the country on the polar expedition, un- der the employ of the American Ra dio Relay league, with which he will maintain communication through its members in various parts of this country.
 Mix will also make observations for the bureau of standards here, at tempting to determine to what extent the aurora borealis-more commonly known as the Northern Lights, in terfere with radio communication. This will be done in connection with MacMillan's work for the terrestrial magnetism laboratory of Carnegie institute, located here.
 The young amateur from Bristol will have charge on the polar eX- peditionl of the radio of the Bowdoin, and will superintend the broadcasting of the weekly news letter and other information that MacMillan Is plan ming to send out.
 As an educational feature. his ra- do experiments will have great value. Not only will people through hn stantly informed of the progress of the polar eXplorations-and that dur ing the hot season-but the observa tion will probably lead to definite determination as to what radio can be expected to accomplish under arctic conditions which will be help full in further exploration.
 MacMillan has already made some experiments with radio In the far north on previous trips. However. 1t has not yet beet determined what can be done through the aurora bo- realis on short wave legnths. A wave length of between 200 and 800 meters will be used on the Bowdoin.

ELECTION HELD IMPROPER.

Because the minutes of tho court of county commissioners of Coving- ton county did not show that the county had already levied a special three mill tax for public schools, the supreme court Saturday held that 8 district tax election could not be held in one of the districts.
 The decision reversed a decision of the Covington circuit court and re- manded the case of D. B. Can't ct al versus the court of county commis- sioners to the Covington circuit court for further action. The supreme court pointed out that no district has au- thority to levy special three mill tax until the county has made the same levy and that the records of the commissioners court must af- firmatively show such action on the part of the county before a district tax election can be called.

 tory.
 It Is estimated that In all some 3 million acres will be taken from owners and given to peasants by Greece under the new laws. The value of this land Is said to be be- tween 22 million dollars and 33 mil lion dollars. The number of peas ants to be benefited Is estimated at three hundred thousand. large number in a country with popula- ton of five million. The number of estates to be appropriated is about twelve hundred. Some of these em- brace whole villages.
 Owners who are thus seeing their land taken from them are for the most part persons, though few are monasteries and municipalities. and some of the land is owned by the na- tional government. Many monaster- les in Greece have clung tenacious ly to large estates from the mid dle ages. Among the owners are many wealthy and influential Greeks. They have done all they could to prevent the exporation. Many of them have insisted that the peasants are too backward to cultivate the soil on their own initiative. TO this the advocates of appropriation have an swered that few Of the owners ever did anything to make them better farmers; if education is what is needed, they say, let the state now give it or let the peasants have an opportunity to get it for themselves. Their incentive to work hard and make the soil yield more will be greater. says the government, when the peasants own the land on which they work. To the charge of bel shevism the government has replied that there Is nothing communistic about it's act--that 1t Is merely dis possessing one set of private owners and substituting another, and that the interests of the state required new deal in land ownership.

WASHINGTON, June 3O.-organ- ganized labor Is throwing Its best efforts into the contest to brin. vic tory to the farm-labor candidate in the special Minnesota senatorial cleo tion.
 Believing success in the contest may pave the way for a third party triumph in the presidential election of 1924, labor. from Samuel Com pers, veteran chief of the American Federation of Labor, down to the humblest worker, has made the cleo ton of Magius Johnson over Cover nor Preus virtual crusade.
 Administration leaders, on the other hand, are filled with forebodings lest another so-called radical joins the in- creasing band In the Senate to add to the difficulties of President Hard- in.,. They, too, propose to wage a Sight without quarter.
 Both sides are preparing to flood Minnesota with bales of literature one to stem the rising tide of what they regard IS rauIcalism, the other to end a reactionary regime. Both sides are preparing some of the bit- terest campaign documents ever used in political contest.
 Two Cars of Literature.
 Early next week labor will dispatch two carloads of literature rom here in behalf of Johnson's candidacy. Johnson Is pictured as real "dirt farmer" of the people and for the people. and Preus as the white-haired fboy" of a corrupt machine and the tool of special privilege.
 The other side of the picture is given by republicans seeking a vim dication of the Harding administra- tion Prens is held up as progres- sive, constructive friend of law and order, and Johnson Is assailed as a radical with dangerous political poll cies.
 While democratic leaders refused to concede officially that State Sen ator James A. Carley has no chance. privately they admit that the demo- ure in the contest.

German Inuents Machine Which

BERLIN, June 3o.--(By Associated PreSs.)-Germans cold and rain soaked and shivering in their win ter furs were much cheered up re- gently by the announcement that a professor of Berlin university had invented sun machine. Subsequent explanations, however, disclosed that the machine would not produce sun shine, which has been so sadly lack ing In Europe this spring and sum mer but would only store up heat gathered from the sun and utilize 1t for power purposes.
 Professor Adolph Marcuse, in writ ing of his machine, explains that the suns rays are concentrated by lens and conducted into ball with small mouth. The ball is polished outsides and' black inside. The ball rests in isolated vessel containing oil, which becomes very hot and com municates it's heat to water boiler in which steam Is produced, The apparatus Is regarded IS being espe- cially practical in hot regions, where sunlight In abundant and fuel is scarce.
 On square metre the machine exerts ono and three-tenths horse power per second. It is expensive, but as the costs of operation are slight, 1t Is estimated 1t would pay for itself within a short time.
