RICH MAN DIES HERE
SOLVING MYSTERY OF
! HIS DISAPPEARANCE
Capt. J. ". Wickwire Lived
|; in San Antonio Secretly
for Four Years.

Jonathan whipple Wickwire, own
er of large interests in Western New
York, whose mysterious disappearance
four years ago baffled police and
relatives who did not know his
!. whereabouts nor the reason for. his
disappearance until his death in San
Antonio Sunday morning solved the
mystery, has been living in this city
with a cousin. X. G. Wickwire, 139
Nelson avenue.
Captain Wickwire, for that was the
title he bore by virtue OF his SER
vice in the. Civil War. is the owner
of gypsum mines; stone quarries,
farm lands and other interests in
Western New York. it was revealed.
Several years ago, his doctors told
him that he must forget business in
the interest of his health.
After taking his lawyer, Charles
B. Pixley, and Surrogate Louis G.
Hart into his confidence, he told
them to take over his business in
terests and not to reveal his where
abouts. While on his way to the
Pacific Coast, he stopped over In San
Antonio, and found cousin whom
he had met in Florida two years
before.
Knowing that the cousin would
care for him without being prompted
by other than altruistic motives, he
announced that he intended to make
his home here. He was welcomed
with open arms. For the last four
years he has lived here in retirement
while the police and his other rela-
tives searched vainly for him.
He never discussed his business
interests or connections, and even the
cousin with whom he lived was not
aware that he was sheltering q man
reputed to be worth million dollars
or more. He never discussed the re-
lationship and endeavored to cut him
self off entirely from the business al
fairs that had undermined his health.
His son, who is in the painting
business, will accompany the body
hack to Akron, N. Y, Wednesday
night. where the body will be buried.
Although no will was found among
his papers here, it is presumed that
: one will be found among his effects
in Akron. The exact extent of his
wealth is unknown. His home In
Akron will probably be given to the
Masonic fraternity as home for the
aged.
In addition to his mining interests
he owns stock in n bank at Akron
which bears his name.

TO FORECAST

II. S. Weather" Officials Are
Urged to Forecast Static

Chicago, Dec 17.--Hope expressed
by many radio fans that the United
States Weather Bureau would be
able to forecast radio reception con-
ditions as it does the weather, has
been given new impetus by indica-
tions from bureau officials that
such predictions may be practicable.
These officials point out, however,
that the weather bureau has not
made any official Investigations due
to the fact that it has no funds
available to provide the facilities
and the personnel.
The weather bureau has received
(nany requests and suggestions from
radio enthusiasts urging that it I'M
dertake to forecast static conditions.

forecast would be popular and we'll
received" one official said in reply
to inquiries. Several of our peo-
pie interested in radio in 4 personal
way have been making notes on
radio reception under varying wea-
ther conditions. These fragmentary
reports and experiences lead US to
believe that radio-weather forecasts
for at least a day or two in ad-
vance may be practicable. However
we feel that it would be unwise to
attempt new work of this sort in a
hit-and-miss way and that it should
not be begun until the subject has
been studied thoroughly and syste-
nlaticaly and we are convinced that
reliable and worthwhile service can
be given.
YwThe bureau has not undertaken
any investigation of the problem Of
ficially. The difficulty is that we
have no funds which can be applied
to the providing of facilities and
personnel for the conduct of the in
vestigation. There are SO many fact.
ors involved that it would require
an extensive program Of collecting
and compiling data before serious
study of the problem could be
made"

RAT DRIVE IN

Get the rats out of the town by

This was the slogan with which
the anti-rat campaign opened IN BIS
marck today to continue one week.
The campaign is under the direction
of II. Scott Zimmerman, of the L. ,.
Department of Agriculture, stationed
at the North Dakota Agricultural
College.
"Rats cost each individual in the
city of Bismarck s. IL year. SAID
Mr.. Zimmerman This is an average
OF $40 per family--a nice Christmas
present.
"Eats are destructive. They have
proved dangerous to health in some
cities. If everybody cooperates we
will drive the rats out OF town by
Christmas"
Questionnaircs were distributed
recently by Boy Scouts and most OF
them have been returned. The re-
ports show considerable infestatlon

WHITE FLOUR
PRODUCES
BAD TEETH

London, Dec. 17.--Modern men
have jaws that are too small, and
white flour is responsible FOR this
deformity, according to Sir Harry
Baldwin who recently addressed the
Medical Officers of School Asso-
Citations on the necessity for the
more general use of whole wheat
bread among growing children
The speaker declared that the
small jaw was widespread, and of
comparatively recent origin. The
nremoval of vitamines from flour, he
continued, in order to produce white
bread was Il vicious practice which
must be abolished. Otherwise chill
drcn, especially the children OF poor
families which cannot afford great
variety of food, will continue to be
underfed.
Dr.. c. Shelley said, at the same
meeting, that in his opinion the use
OF the word "offal" to describe the
part of the wheat which is discarded
in making white flour, has been re-
sponsible for the prejudice against
flour which is not white. This UNI
fortunate term used by millers has
given rise to the opinion that non
white flour is not clean.
DR.. G. Friend, medical officer at
Ghrist's Hospital, Horsham, said that
IN experiments in feeding boys on
white bread and stone milled OF
whole wheat bread, he had demon
strated that the use Of whole wheat
bread reduced the decay Of teeth
by so percent.
A baker, NJ. Carter, addressed the
meeting and assured the doctors that
Z bakers would be very happy to make
wholewheat bread, as it is much
easier to prepare than white bread
but he said the public demands white
bread, especially customers of the
poorer classes.
