JAPANESE AIRSHIP LOSS
HELD DUE TO RADIO WAVE
Destruction of Dirigible and Death
of Crew Explained by Scien-
tist of Toxic.

Correspondence of the Associated Press
TOXIC. March 18.-Dr. It. Terada.
science professor in Toxic University.
says that the destruction of the dirig-
ible $50 last March with the loss of
her crew, was caused by a broadcast
radio wave.
DIR. Terada was a member of the
board appointed to investigate the
explosion. and after it had ended its
labors without finding a theory he
continued his experiments. Coating a
miniature of the airship with the
aluminium paint that was used on the
$50, he found that radio waves di-
rected against it produced sparks
measuring nearly an inch, and while
he has not fully disclosed the nature
of the experiment and its results, he
expresses his conviction that he has
found the cause of the disaster.

BERKELEY, Calf, April 1s.-Some
white rats, under observation for the
effects of newly discovered vitamine,
recently tipped over their cages in
search of food, and, seeing nothing
else handy, started in to devour the
record book of their activities made
in the household science department
of the University of California.
When the class conducting the ex-
periments gathered next day, the
record book was found in bad shape.
Several valuable pages had been
chewed out. The rats were still mill

Tells Property Ouners
Importance of Paint

Chicago property owners throw
away millions of dollars every year,
because they fail TO paint correctly,
according to S. Fl. Stewart. president
of the Chicago Paint, Oil and Varnish
club, who spoke at general confer
ence of paint men.
This sum, he announced. is but part
Of the billion and half dollars waste
which represents the national annual
loss from neglect Of property.
Not only do the property owners
themselves suffer an actual cash loss
in depreciation Of property values, re-
pairs and more expensive paint bills
when they finally do decide TO call in
the painter" he said. but they put
a premium upon the principal wealth
of nation. which is its physical prop
erty." In the United States there are
100000, 100000 worth of physical prop
erty.
This waste is prevented by paint
only, according to Mr.. Stewart Paint

Parker settlement away back In 1896,
captive whqse story rivals that Of
the famous Frances Slocum. the Lost
Sister of Wyoming of Revolutionary
days
She was restored to her people. but
lived only four years. When she died
she was still grieving for her little
half-breed son, Quanah, who had es-
capped when Ross rangers swept down
upon Peta Nocnpa's camp. Ross later
became a general in thu Confederate
army and a governor Of Texas. That
little half-breed boy iucceeded his
father as war chief of tie Comanches,
led them and their allies in the IA
nous attack on the buffsao hunters at
Adobe Walls, and was the last to sur
render TO the United Starss troops in
the war with the southern tribes In
1S74-75. Later he was Quanah Parker,
the friend of the white man, Roose-
velt's hunting companion on a wolf
hunt in Oklahoma, and until his death
in 1911. one of the most famous Of the
living Indian chiefs.
Even more famous than SUI Ross
was a ranger captain of later day
Bill Mcdonald. man Of the same type
as big Foot" Wallace. 1t was once
said that Captain Bill Mcdonald
would charge hell with a bucket Of

9 Building
Some Advantages Thct
"Hick ToUn" Boy Has

The so-called hick town has lately
become source of great inspiration
TO our professional humorists. If you
read comic weeklies and newspaper
quips you have doubtless noticed many
in the last year which began like this:
"A hick town Is place where"
A hick town, say the various users
or this convenient formula, is a place
where backfire is never mistaken for
a pistol shot; where bedtime is ortho-
dox; where woOdpeckers eat up the
depot; where central can tell you
whether it was a girl or boy where
the folks build yellow brick gym but
no sidewalks; where the neighbors will
supply you with conscience if you
lack one; where there is no parking
problem; where curfew disturbs the
residents rest; where bachelor of
30 needs bodyguard; where fine-cut
tobacco is no handicap socially; where
$4,000 is as good as a million, and
so on and on.
With no intention of becoming ter
ribly heavy over the matter, we want
to add that hick town is a place
where 26 Of our % Presidents were
born and where out of 10 of the i'm
mortals in New York's National hall of
fame originated. hick town that
didn't have a name produced Lincoln
Hick towns gave US most of our great
literary figures of the past and prac-
tically all of those now living. Hick
towns produce our Edisons; one pro
duced a great university president just
lost to Michigan. If we may, then we
would like TO suggest that a hick town
Is place where a boy has an excel
ent opportunity to lay the foundation
Of future greatness.-Detroit News.

story of the Texas Rangers Is that
of a body of men with a tradition
So strong has been the tradition of alb
solute efficiency that has grown up
around this splendid fighting force
that one Texas Ranger Is looked upon
as more capable of handling a ticklish
situation than any twenty ordinary
men.
They tell the story Of the mayor OF
Texas town who found a riot on
his hands and who kept the wires to
the state capital hot, asking for a
company of rangers. Then he ar
ranged for half a dozen conveyances
to meet the train and rush the officers
to the scene of the trouble. From the

and big Foot" Wallace. Wallace re-
ceived his nickname from his feud
with Big Foot, celebrated Comanche
Indian chief, whom he had sworn to
kill. He trailed the Indian many
times, but never succeeded in keeping
his vow. The honor of ending Big
Foot's raids went to another ranger
captain, Shapeley B. Ross. who killed
the Indian in an epic hand-to-hand
combat
A dauntless person-this Wallace.
One day while out alone he rode to the
top of a hill and ran slam-bang into
a band of sixty Indians. His horse
was wornout and he knew that flight
was useless. The red men spotted him
and raised the war cry.
Wallace dug his spurs into his horse
and charged the Indians. Waving his
arm as though signalling to a force
behind the hill, he shouted "Come on.
