OLD CARY HOMESTEAD SEEKING SUBSTITUTE IN CINCINNATI SOLD FOR FLEECY STAPLE
Birthplace Of Famous Women Writ
 CTS To Become Tea Shop

CINCINNATI, March 11.-(By Asso- ciated Press.)-The Cary homestead has been sold.
 The home, famous as the birthplace of the Cary sisters-Alice and Phoebe who attained recognition for their verse and prose, will be renovated and opened as a tea shop.
 The old home was but one and half stories high and without the slightest pretensions of architectural beauty. It was situated on 24- acre tract of land-just part of the original holdings of the Cary fam- ly. whose lineage date back to mem bers of the Pilgrim expedition. The homestead has for years been the gathering place of those who ad- mired the works of the two sisters.
 Alice. in the early part of her ca reer, wrote the verse Homestead" the first stanza of which follows: Our old brown homestead reared
 it's wall
 From the wayside dust aloof. Where the apple boughs could al-
 most cast
 Their fruits upon it's roof: And the cherry tree so near it grew That when awake I've lain In the lonesome nights. 1 heard the
 limbs
 As they creaked against the pane; And those orchard trees, O.. those or
 chard trees.
 I've seen my little brothers rocked In their tops by summer breeze.
 The sisters were constant compan- ions and never married. Thelma died in 1871, Alice at the age of 51 and Phoebe at 47. They were buried in New York.

TRADE OUTLOOK BRIGHT
Declare British Trade Prospects Are
 Now Favorable

LONDON. March 17.-Sir Montague Barlow, the minister of labor, struci. an optimistic note on the prospects of a revival in trade when speaking recently in Birmingham.
 T do begin to see little day light" he said. There are indica : tions that we are weathering the storm. Frankly l do not want the process to be too rapid. If it were, I would be afraid that it was merely effervescent. Improveme eiit is- going on steadily in a manner which. makes me hopeful. No one can tell, what the effectof certain political changes on the continent may be, but apart from that it seems tnat we are climbing the hill steadily and all though the way is hard. we shall safely reach. the summit"
 The retailers of England also feel hopeful as to the future.
 A state of hope for better things rather than actual fulfillment is vir- tually the position of trade today is the way the Retailers association sums up the retailers point of view of the trading outlook. It is added. however. that the optimistic feeling bids fair to fbe translated into busi- ness in the early future.

Hope to Make Textile Industry of
 Nation Independent

BERLIN. March 17.--Research work designed to develop a substi tute for cotton has been taken up again by German textile scientists It is hoped that ways and means may be found of making Germany's textile industry independent of for eign markets by the perfection of a new process of '.cottonizing' various other fibers.
 Before the war, Germanys re- quirements for raw materials were about S60.000 tons year, consisting chiefly of cotton, wool, jute, hemp and flax. Twenty thousand tons, or scarcely per cent, were actually produced within the country. Nearly half of Germany's bill to outside countries for raw products for the textile mills went for cotton alone.
 A special bureau of the Emperor William Institute for the Further ance of Science has been esta blished in connection with the textile fiber research work, and the professors claim that attempts to "cottonize" some fibers. such as hemp, flax and jute, by mixing them with cotton. have yielded very satisfactory re- suits. The professors contend fur ther that probably a way will be found of utilizing refuse fiber from the ldDTlCdtioH Ol lldN, hemp ana jute. and turning this into high grade yarns by means of the new processes now in the course of de- velopment.
 While Germany's climate is not suitable for the cultivation of ade- Quate quantities of cotton. since the war the local supply of sheep wool has shown an increase, and special efforts have been made by the gov ernment to develop the growth of flax, hemp and jute. Most of the cotton bought now by Germany comes from the United States.

SEEKING NO IMMIGRANTS
New south Wales sends Notice TO
 Italian Government.

SYDNEY. x. $. W. March li-The federal government has decided to communicate with the Italian gov elnment and make it known that Australia cannot permit the entry Of indigent immigrants, as the result of the concern caused by the re- cent unexpected arrival of a shipioad of Italians and the announcement that many of their countrymen, led here by false prospects. were likely to become charges upon the state.
 The federal government has the power under the inmi grafton laws to control the influx of aliens and this authority is to be exercised as is necessary 10 protect the Australian public, it was announced.
 Although the New South Wales government refused to aid the large number of aliens who have just ar rived, the grave fears as to their future have proved unjustified, as most of them found employment within a day or two after their land ing. Each state has a fairly large Italian population and those who were in position to do so, have come to the assistance of their countrymen.

and bearing blunt, wooden teeth: they cut their grain with hand-sick- les, hardened on the cutting edge by firing and covering the wood with bronze. They brushed their clothes with whiskbrooms, used bronze ladies' in the kitchen and ate with wooden spoons. They sat on folding camp stools, identical with those manu- factured today, the seat made of tough leather. In one tomb dating back to 1880 B. c. was actually found folding bed, made of wood, the the bed could be folded together and showed into corner.
 The Egyptians were excellent fishermen, and , the, Nile evidently supplied them with a bountiful sup ply of this food. They used hooks on lines the same as we do, and the hd oks were curved with the reverse we use them today. In addition to this they used fine nets for deep water fishing. Their carpenters made trowels for masonry work, grass ropes, saws and chisels.
 Perhaps the above are the things that have brought Egyptolosy home to us. Our, iaborious scientists have pieced together a picture of remote life that is startling in human rem iniscence.
 o Q o
 Models Found By MT. Lansing.
 In the spring of 1919 Mir. Lansing, while working on the cliffs in the valley, of the kings near Kurneh, Egypt, made a discovery which is unique of it's kind. In the tomb Of great dignitary of the XI dynasty (about 2000 B. CD a chancellor and steward of the royal palace of Mehenkwetre, were found aS complete set of models, small, brightly-paint- ed statuettes of men. boats and ani- nals, which were supposed to pro- vide tine daily necessities for the great noble. This was an ancient custom and usually consisted of a few figures of servants at their daily tasks eternally preparing food and drink for the dead owner of the tomb. aH s H-
 Gradually these servants had, been multiplied and the statue of the man himself-been made smaller until his figure had been. reduced to the same scale as the servants. The latter,'9are grouped in models of workshops or on boats. performing their tasks and3 the masters statue had become afigure on. the tablean, watching the eswork done for him. The spirits of3the little model work men and the spirits ofSthe food they produced eternally, supplied the spirit of the little statue, and that was the soul of the dead man.

 Balance in Treasury

JUNEAU, Alaska, March 1.-The opening of the sixth biennial session of the Alaska leg stature this week marks the beginning of the second decade Of territorial government in Alaska The first legislature as sembled in Juneau in 1913 and has met every two years since.
 It has appropriated between 5000 o00 and s6.OoO 900 for all pur- poses. and the territory, unique among the states and territories, has a healthy cash balance m the treas- ury and no indebtedness to meet. Alaska has never issued a bond or shown a deficit between revenue anl operating expenses. It is one govern ment that has paid it's way as it went along. This might not have been true had not Congress placed an inhibition on territorial bond is- sues However, the power of taxa tion by fee and licenses and over ln- comes is not limited. yet the rate Of taxation is not burdensome. In fact, there is no general property tax III the territory and the levy of such a tax has never been seriously con sidered
 Weather> POst-NVar Period.
 An audit of the territorial treasury. covering from July 1, 1916, to De- cember 31 1922. shows that the cash reserves on hand on the former date had depreciated but a few thousand dollars during the six and one-half years intervening. despite that fact that the territory had passed through one of the hardest periods of depres- sion of its history--the postwar period, which included part of 1919. all of 1920 and 1921 In that period the tota1 receipts in taxes were S3.111 61S.23: disbursements. s3,740.- 14G06. Mining outputs declined throughout the period, until 1922, and fisheries in 1920 and 1921 also op- erated at part capacity. Taxes on the mining industry remained un- changed and but few increases in license taxes on fisheries packs and appliances were adopted.

 Model of Simplicity.
 In those days of numerous com missions. bureaus and other varieties of administrative bodies, with winch governmental machinery has become encountered, the Alaskan system stands as d model of simplicity. which, combined with the almost to- tai absence of freak legislation in the laws passed by the territorial legislatures, is indicative of the abili ty of Alaskans to govern themselves more fully than is possible under the limited form of government granted by the organic act of 1912.

NEW NOEk March 1T.-Rum nun ners are reducing bootlegginG to military science.
 Like General Morgan's army of '7G that fled from the enemy in daylight but pecked at him while he slept the smugglers have devised x-Stem of maneuverins that his completely baffled the dry navy and the skele- ton enforcement staff.
 While complaints of steamship companies against the blocking of New ork harbor hy liquor vessels are directing tirc attention of Wash fngton to the rum traffic off New Jersey and western Long Island. the Vet captains of industry are shifting their base of operations to the eN treme eastern end of the island. They have made Sag Harbor. l.. l., the headquarters of q national bootleg syndicate financed by millions of capital ~,ithout fear of interference from the small handful of poorly equipped coast guards at Amagan- sett, L.. l., they are landing whisky eargoes every afternoon and rushing i them over smooth roads 125 miles to New York city in tarpaulin covered trucks.
 DiseIosure of this operation Friday accounts for the sudden disappear ancc of part of the rum fleet off New Jersey. Newspapers of New York en- ! One paper stated that a pirate ship named the Grey Ghost. with so booze mad ruffians aboard. had temporari- ly driven the amanda away. Another paper announced the fleet had in- ! creased to F vessels while still a third provlaimed there were no ruin ships at all.

 William H, Me Mullen. Curtiss flyer, carried two newspapermen in an air plane along the Jersey coast to set tie the dispute. He came back pro- bouncing the fleet had vanished.
 Meanwhile, accounts of activity at Sag Harbor. came pouring in. Re i porters who had spent summer days at this straggling seaside resort hurried out and found it trans l formed.

The dock that had been bercft Of business sinc> whaling days was q hive of business. A low. rak ! ing sailing craft, with an auxiliary engine for motive power, was landing cargo of fine Scotch.

 Trucks hauled the boxes to summer i ee ttages where they were stored un- til nightfall by payment of Sl cash to the caretakers. Drivers reported l to an abandoned house where the syndicate had set up it's office, and received orders when to start with their loads for New York city.
