SIGN
TURKEY PACT
Two Conventions Growing
Out of Lausanne Confer
ence Are Approved

LAUSANNE, Jan. so (By The AS
ISOLATED Press).-Two conventions
growing out of the deliberations Of
the Lausanne peace conference we're
signed today between Turkey and
Greece. One provides for the mu-
tual return of prisoners of war and
hostages. The other puts into eff
feet the compulsory exchange Of
populations arranged.
The s~ignatories were Ismet Passa
and Rizur Nurbey for Turkey and M.
Venizelos and Caclamanos for
Greece.
The conventions Will become eff
fective Immediately, irrespective of
the the fate Of the general peace
treaty, but the impression is growing
that the arrangements for the com-
pulsory exchange of populations may
never be carried out, as both Greece
and Turkey are likely to decide it
will be undesirable.

BERLIN MAN SENDS
 PROXY TO PRISON

BERLIN, Jan. 10.-Having been sentenced to one months imprison- ment, John Grienat, Berlin tailor, violently disliking the idea of losing his personal freedom, persuaded his assistant, Charles Bernick, to go to jail "by proxy" A new suit of clothes was agreed upon as fitting compensation.
 Accompanied by Mrs. Grienat, the young man, equipped with the identi- fication papers of his boss, presented himself at the prison office on the appointed day. After a well-acted lachrymose scene of farewell from his supposed spouse, the substitute prisoner was taken to his cell.
 All during his months term the graceful boss supplied him amply with food packages. Everything had gone well when on the very day of his dismissal Bernick had the bad luck of running into an acquaintance in the warden's office who hailed him by his real name.
 The fraud was discovered. Grienat was sentenced to nine months and his unlucky "proxy" had to spend another five months on top of the one of voluntary Imprisonment.

FLORIDA IDEAL FOR
 CITRUS FRUIT LAND

MIAMI, Fla, Jan. 10.-TO make the native soil of Florida entirely suitable for the growing of citrus fruits now only dust of commercial fertilizer need be used, according to Charles T. Simpson, of Little River. MT. Simpson has been con- ducting experiments on his Little River farm, six miles from here, for the past eight years.
 The only fertilizer that Mir. Simp- son has used has been the so-called seaweed. Once a year this expert with plants brings loads of seaweed from the waterfront, mulching the grove, and declares this is absolute ly the only fertilizer that is neces- sary.
 On the strength of his experience he declares that he is inclined to believe that seaweed is a most splen- did fertilized. His trees are weighted to the ground with fine friut, yet LHe IuulCl uG uses, H6 says, lS Hol a true seaweed but a couple of little plant-like grasses which grow on the bottom of Biscayne Bay. These plants are loosened by fish that feed on tiny bulbs at their roots and float to the surface and are washed to the shore.
 He is conducting other experiments with the candle-nut, which has a commercially valuable meat when it is freed from it's shell. At present the nut is like an enlarged hickory nut with a fine kernel which how ever, sticks to the shell even worse than does the meat of the Brazil nut. An effort is being made to raise trees from selected seeds which have freer kernels.

NOVEL DISPLAY AT BRAZILIAN
 EXPOSITION

RIO DE JANEIRO, Jan. 10.-A nov city in exhibits is being shown by the Baldwin Locomotive Works, of Phil adelphia, at it's space here in the Bra zilian Centennial Exposition. h. stead of a mammoth locomotive, the famous American plant is represented by one of the most dimnutive trains in the world, running at full speed in a special cabinet.
 The train is one-forty-eighth the size of it's prototype, the ''Luxo Ex- press," of the Central Railway of Bra gil, the engine being a perfect repro duction of the big Pacific type loco motive that pulls the crack flyer.
 Train Stands Still
 By means of a new mechanical con- trivance the train is shown running on a track that passes swiftly beneath while the train itself stands still in relation to it's surroundings. TO com plete the illusion, scenery passes by i'll the background. The swaying motion characteristic of big expresses IS faithfully shown in the tiny model as it races along over slight inequalities in the track"
 Electric lights and vestibule con- nections are feature of the little express, special lighting being pro- vided to give night, moonlight ana daylight effects. If desired, the small locomotive can be made to produce smoke for short period.
 The nameplates of the locomotive works are engraved in the miniature on the heads of small thumtacks. The wooden cowcatcher is constructed of sticks the size of matches.
 Minute Details
 Behind the tiny cylinder model of the complicated Walschaert valve gearing performs all the functions or the "real thing" The cars are mod eled after typical rolling stock of the Central Railway of Brazil most ot which was built in France. They com prise dining, sleeping and first-class saloon cars Even the raised brass lettering of the originals has been re produced, in this case with typecast- ing machine slugs.
 "Wings," similar to those in thea ters. were added to the stage on which the train runs as a decorative effect, although they shut out one of the most effective features-the track and scen- cry coming toward the front of the engine and disappearing behind the last car Only a magician could dis cover what keeps the train in place.
 In tests before being shipped from the United States the train main- tained scale speed of 150 miles an hour for five miniutes and 80 scale miles an hoM for one hour without any signs of breakdown.

.elUs Letter
 From Seattle

SEATTLE, Jan. 10.-A. S. Kerr, for mer Alaskan, now chairman of the Alaska Committee of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce was host at a dinner when he discussed with his committeeman the policy to be fol- lowed by that department He said two things must be considered imme- diately:
 1. Action to have oil refineries to handle Alaska oil in the event it is discovered in commercial quantities, located at Seattle instead of San Francisco;
 2 The rousing of the community to the necessity of an adequate blue sky law and putting out of business fake oil stock promoters who are taking dollars from gullible people through the lure of possible oil in Alaska MT. Kerry gave facts concerning the ex- pense already incurred by the Stand ai u dlu ASooCldleu oll COul lpdilleS III operations to date in the Cold Bay dis trict. A high official of the Standard will cost at least half million dol lars to sink the first well in Alaska and that the estimates of other wells are at least $25O,OOO each in that dis trict. Seattle can be and we must see to it, that it is the refinery point for Alaska oil Negotiations are pend ing to have Montana oil brought here for refining.
 Members of the Alaska Committee of the chamber are: A. s. Kerry, chairman; E. J. Matthews, vice chair man; Nathan Eckstein, Dean Minor Roberts, B. s. Grosscup, Fred c. John stone, ". A. Peters, Wm. T. Lopp, J. D. bowman, D. w. Branch, D. H. Moss, Josiah Collins, Joshua Green, c. D. Stimson, c. B. Blethen, A. B. Stewart, E. A. Strout, E. I. Garrett J. H. Ballinger, E. c. McCord, J. w. Eddy, c. H Clarke, James D. Hoge, Judge George Donworth, A. J. Fis- ken and Wm. Calvert.
 President Warehouse of the cham Der outlined the accomplishments of the Chamber for Alaska during the past year and said he knew it would be the policy of MT. Kerry and the committee to do things for Alaska and not to Alaska Seattle must not set itself up as the Territory's doctor but should play the role of a big brother Executive Secretary Thomas said it| should be the duty of Seattle towards the Territory to be helpful and no at tempt to do things for Alaska should be made without first consulting Alaska.
