FLAX GROWING APPEALS
 TO NORTHWEST FARMERS
Since September 1923. 5,0oo,0oo Bushels of Flax Unloaded At Lin-
 seed Mills in Minneapolis.

Minneapolis, Feb. In the midst of q territory now being grown in large measure to flax, Minneapolis has risen to the largest production city of linseed oil and meal in the United States. with the possible ex- ception of New York.
 Since September 1. 1923. up to the first of the year more than 5,o0o,o00 bushels of flax were unloaded at the linseed mills here, comprising the bulk of the last northwest crop, and from which about 100000 tons of meal will be manufactured, according to reliable reports.
 With University of Minnesota agri- cultural officials pointing out to northwest farmers the attractiveness of raising flax, with tariff protection of 40 cents a bushel. short haul to market, and consumption twice the production, the favorable situation was recognized and portions of the wornout wheat lands were turned to flax growing.
 The Minneapolis production of lin- seed meal and oil results in the crush ing of more than 8 100000 bushels of seed a month.

MRS. BELMONT BUYS
 SANDS POINT LIGHT
North Shore Piece Of Land Pur-
 chased From Government

New York, Feb. 1.-The historic
 Sands Point lighthouse, on the north shore Of Long Island Sound near Port
 Washington, purchased by the gov ernor ill 1908 for s5l2.5o, was sold at
 public auction yesterday to Mrs. 0. II. Belmont for s1o0,0o0. Mrs. Belmont's
 country estate adjoins the five and
 half acres on which stands the old light house and twelve foot right of way to the light house runs directly through her holdings.
 The auction was held at the Light house Depot on Staten Island and the only bidder was George Gordon Bat tie, representing Mrs. Belmont. The government had announced that no bid of less than sl00,oe0 would be considered. r. w. ockenfels opened the auction al D. m. and five min utes later the property had been sold, subject to the approval Of the secre- tary of commerce. According 10 J. T, Yates, superintendent of lighthouses, the shore light at Sands Point was abandoned a year ago last December when the government placed a new green, automatic acetylene light on the rocky reef about 1000 feet off shore. not far from Execution Light
 It was generally known in Port Washington that Mrs. Belmont wes anxious to acquire the government 1 property and close the right Of way cutting through her estate, which runs cross the neck Of land called Sands Point, Al one time the lighthouse f keeper was ordered to receive no more visitors when it was discovered . that half q dozen automobile loads Of bathers had driven through Mrs. Bel. \ mont's estate on the government right \ Of way, ostensibly to visit the keeper. |

LAST CASKET OF
 TUT IS REACHED
Carter Must Open Fourth Of
 Nest of ShrineS
By The Associated Press.

Luxor, Egypt, Feb. 1.-- Howard Carter is seriously preoceupied with the problem of how to dismantle the velop the coffin of Tut-Ankh Amen the one immediately enclosing the sarcopRSgue-with as little damage as possible. for this golden box is ap- parently a replica in wood of the pink crystalline coffin within.
 The shrine seems to be made of one piece instead of in several sec tions like the others. However, it is understood Mir. Carter is hopeful of raising tho lid of the sarcophagus it. self within the next ten days.
 Though it is conceivable that the change in the Egyptian government may alter the plans. number of of flcial personages probably will come 10 Luxor for this function, which nay take place on February 10. If Tut Ankh-Amen's sarcophagus is like those of his dynasty known to arch aeologfsts it is likely the lid is fast ened with the particularly hard ce- ment used by the Egyptians in keep ing these great stone burial recept- acles absolutely air-tight so as to in- sure the preservation of the mummy. In some cases the lid has resisted all efforts of ancient grave robbers to pry it off, and they have been obliged 10 hack a hole in the side of the coffin in order to get purchase for a lever.
 Upper Egypt is now fairly launched on a bright season. Luxor is full of visitors, and tourists are pouring in by Nile steamer ahd by train. Every day a procession of carriages. sand carts and donkeys bearing foreigners winds its way through the hills to the valley of the kings where Mir. Carter and his are at work.

UNCOVER PLOT ID COUNTERFEIT BILLS
More Than a Million in S2O Notes
 Were to Be Made

New ork, Feb. IA counterfelt- / ing in which five men had planned to
 issue more than s1.OO0.o00 in s20
 notes on the Federal Reserve bank of l Chicago was disclosed yesterday by
 Joseph A. Palma, chief secret service l operative, when he received word of ] the arrest in Chicago of Nick Gloriani and Frank Reubeto as' two of the | principals. He added that the others were three men taken here the night | before, at the time of whose arrest
 the secret service men would say nothing. They gave the names of
 Salvatore Mangiaphane of S21 West ! Thirty eighth strct, Mario Olivaro of l G52 West Thirtieth street and Frank 1 Raymond of 5SS West Fortie,h street.
 A raid was made on Raymond's home and in it were found two print ing presses, plates, negatives, ink and
 other apparatus. At Mangiapane's residence were found number of the
 fake bills and supplies said to have been used in the gangs operations. It required several trucks to take the material to the federal building.
 Behind the arrest lies the story of the patent work of secret service operative for more than year. This man had gained the complete conf, dence of the gang and was arrested" along with them as an accomplice. It was said that only 400 of the spur ious notes had been printed and a still smaller number circulated.
 The counterteiters started their operations near Chicago about year ago. Mangiapone had invented sausage making machine which, the secret service men said, would have made his fortune if he had developed it through the usual channels. This machine was used as blind to cover the work of the gang and always vas referred to by them in discussing the details Of their operations.
 The alleged counterteiters first be- gan their work on the top floor Of a deserted summer hotel at Blue Island 1 III. They produced several score notes, some of which they quarreled ! over the division or the spoils and | separated, Several of the men came | to New York and watched the as- Chicago.

ARE MOTHERS TO BLAME?

" HE lax or loose behaviour of modern
girls has become a text for many Sc
we're critics. An indignant preacher
denounced modern mothers from his pulpit
a few weeks ago. He intimated like moth
ers like daughters" He said mothers are
so busy with their own outside lapses that
the younger crowd are left free to do as they
please, and they choose to go the broad way
to moral ruin.
This indictment was issued from the pull
pit, and it is manifest that the pews were
either behind it, or too cowardly to face it
and call for proof. My observation leads me
to express an opinion which differs some
what from the dictum of the minister. There
are mothers who are so devoted to home
life and domestic care of their daughters
that they are kept in the dark about outside
episodes.
1t would take an uncommonly brave neigh
Dor to advise such home-cherishing mother
to go abroad more frequently and see how
her girl is behaving in public company. A
girl who is intent on having a good time
has been known to deceive a mother who
was satisfied that her own child was telling
her the truth. 1t is sad day when any
