CANARY AIDS IN
. MINE RESCUE
I. WORK
Mary Jane, Of Pittsburgh, Has
Been Heroine of Forty
Expeditions.

Meet Try Jane of Pittsburgh,
employee Of Uncle Sam. She's the
tawny canary in the cage. and she
does mine rescue work. When she
flies UP to sleep at night, she is
happy-or would be II she reasoned
like human beings-in the thought
that at least 1000 children are play
ing around their fathers knees who
would have been orphans but for
her. Mary Jane mas saved Q hu-
man life for every feather on her
little body. She has gone with forty
rescue parties into shafts where
miners were entombed by explo-
sions.
The Bureau Of Mines employs sew
eral canaries in mine rescue work,
but Mary Jane has been the most
useful, because she is a particularly
high-strung and sensitive little
thing. All canaries are much more
sensitive to gas poisoning than hu-
man beings. While q man might
breathe gas-poisoned air for two or
three hours without feeling the ef-
fects, q canary will be overcome
by it in few minutes.
Every rescue party going into a
mine where deadly gases are likely
to be encountered therefore takes
along a canary. When the bird
begins to droop, the rescuers know
that they are running into gas ard
either retire or take measures to
protect themselves.
Mary Jane IL so sensitive to car
bon monoxide, for instance, that
two.tenths Of per cent of 1t In the
air tumbles her off her perch in a
faint in a minute and half by the
watch. She has been brought I'M
conscious from more than half the
mines in which she did rescue work,
but she saved the lives Of the rescu-
ers and frequently enabled them to
release entombed miners when they
would have been unable to do so
without her.

TRUST WAR
ON OFFER
FUTILE
Neports Say Hundreds Of
thousands of Dollars Were
Spent Here Against It.
By TOM EVERRITT,
Cosmopolitan News Service.

A most marvellous Legislative
ecnlevement has just been par
G1ally contaminated in Washington,
Marvellous, because Henry Ford
Gio not spend as much as one
thin dime to influence the House
OF Representatives to vote 244 to
144 to give him a lease for one
hundred years on the gigantic
Muscle Shoals project in Alabama.
Opposed BY Trusts.
The Power trust, the Fertilizer
trust, the aluminium trust, this
monopoly and that organization, all
nave been credited with spending
hundreds Of thousands of dollars
IN Washington since July, 1921,
wnen Ford made his offer to Score.
Cary OF War Weeks to defeat Ford 5
offer in Congress.
Lobbyists, professional and other.
wise, engineers and self-termed en-
gmeers' by flocks and herds swarmed
Washington.
SO much so, that early in 1929
Senator Kenneth McKeller of Ten.
.uessee, presented to the Senate a
resolution demanding an inVestiga-
ton of the lobbyists who were In
washington working to defeat Ford.
They swarmed the committee rooms;
they pestered congressman; they
tmportuned Senators, and they pre.
9ented briefs lin their case against
Ford.
Some of His Foes.
The Fertilizer trust didn't want
Ford to have Muscle Shoals. lie
intends to make cheap fertilizer
there. The Power trust didn't want
him to have it,. He would manu-.
Gacture power and break down the
price.
The Aluminium trust didn't want
Ford to have 1t. He would cheaper
aluminium for the housewife and
Tor the manufacturer. The Chem-
cal trust didn't want him to have
Muscle Shoals. He would embark
into the manufacture of chemicals
and cut the price out from under
the trust.
Every Specious argument was
used against the idea of Henry
Ford developing the great water
power of the South.
Ford was requested by the Con-
gressional committee that was con-
sidering his offer to come to Wash
ington and personally presentt his
case. He declined, saying, in effect:
"There is my offer. Take it or
leave it," He, instead, sent his
engineers, upon request of the com
mittee. They explained the offer,
but that was as far as Ford would
60.
Col. John w. Worthington, of
Alabama, who was responsible for
Ford making the offer for Muscle
Shoals. faithfully represented Ford
without charge to the latter.
Worthington has been notable for
his achievements in utility develop
ments in Alabama. He was heart,
soul and body wrapped up in the
Muscle Shoals project. Ford paid
his expenses two or three times
from Washington to Detroit and re-
turn for the purposes of consulta-
ton.
A close search with a watcheul
eye has failed to reveal that Ford
spent another nickel than for the
expenses of his engineers to Wash.

BRITISH INTERESTED
OVER GERMAN PLAN
FOR NEUTRAL COURT
Body Would Supervise
Execution Of Repma-
ton Settlement.
BY HAL O'FLAHERTY.
(By Radio to The $. A. Light and the
Chicago Daily News. Copyright

London, April 2S.-Reports from
Berlin that Germany intends propos'
ing establishment of special neutral
court to supervise execution OF the
reparation settlement aroused unusual
interest in London and may possibly
cause agitation along the same lines
here.
Many British officials agree with
German opinion that the Dawes re-
port fails TO provide the agency for
Interpretation of disputes arising in
the course of Germany's fulfillment
provisions. Many times in the past
British statesmen have advocated ref
erence of disputed points TO some tri-
bunal outside the heated atmosphere
OF Paris. This was particularly true
during the controversy between Eng
land and France over the legality OF
the Rdhr occupation and several other
points arising out of separate action
by France and Belgium:
Now as discussion OF the Dawes
report energies from the realm Of
practical politics, British opinion
leans again toward establishments OF a
court OF reference where legal technl-
calities may be threshed out and set
tied as amicably without disturbing
cooperation on more essential work.
Some of the elements of discOrd Qc-
Cured during the Easter holidays be
tween France and England, and for
the most part the British press ignores
controversies over details and rivets
attention upon the broad scheme of
getting the experts recommendation
into operation. Prime Minister Mae
Donald, speaking before the annual
meeting of the Independent labor
party, dealt in vague manner with
foreign policy, but even his few words
on the subject seemed to arouse mis-
apprehension in Paris.
1t is likely that Mr. Macdonald will
take the earliest opportunity of allay-
ing fears as to his unqualified accept
ance Of the experts plan. He wants.
above everything else. to get ahead
with the work before meddling politl-
clans make progress impossible. he
believes that France sees clearly the
necessity of restoring Germany's eco
nemic unity, even though skeleton
military organization is maintained in
the Ruhr.
As this satisfies Mr.. AIacDonald's
ideas of fair treatment for Germany
he will undoubtedly accept the French
viewpoint as being a correct interpre-
tation Of the experts plan. There re-
main differences OF opinion on other
sections of the experts report, but
Mr. Macdonald intends forcing them
in the background until the main
scheme takes material form.

London. April 23.--Thousands o,
American game fish will be imporici

are fairly plentiful they are confi"ei
