Together they were sent to Atlanta for
twenty five years and together they plot

separate Jail breaks, they joined forces
and for some time lived on Hance's farm

capture them both at Muncie, but Ander-
son eluded them.
Later he murdered Ben Hance and his
wife for their testimony against Chap

an accessory in this murder next month.
1t is but a few days age that Ander-

be easily possible for him to have parti-

SUBMERGED CITY IN CASPIAN Sc
Soviet Captain Finds Streets and Build
ings of Ancient Asiatic Architecture.

MOSCOW, Oct. % "a. P,)- The dis
covery of an ancient submerged city near
Shikov, a sandy bank on the Caspian
Sea, was made today by Alexis Atayeff,
a captain in the Soviet mercantile fleet.
Atayeff's ship bound from Persia to Ba-
ku, changed her course and, while
soundinPs were being made, he noticed
buiIdin s on the sea floor.
Atayeff asserts that under the bright
sunshine he was enabled to distinguish
streets and buildings of ancient Asiatic
architecture. A further investigation re-
vealed a well-preserved roadway lead
ing to the Baku fortress.
Al chaologists are of the opinion that
the discovery reveals the lost city of
Kharadasheger, which is believed to
have been submerged centuries ago.

ANDERSON BoMBARDs MUsCART
Wyoming Bantamweight Too Smart for
F~renchman.

EdOuard Mascart, featherweight cham
piOn of Europe, ran true to form in his
twelve round rumpus with Eddie Ander-
son Of Wyoming at the New Broadway
Aroma in Brooklyn last night. Mascart
lost the decision and some blood from a
troublesome cash over his left eye, but
managed to retain the admiration of the
fans kby plunging in steadily in spite of
a vicious body attack by Anderson. He
is a fighter.
The Wyoming boys style was a mys-
terry that the little F%renchman found as
puzzling in the last round as in the first.
Only in the second round did Edouard
appear to have a chance to win. From
then on he was a mark for AndersOn's
left and right uppercuts to the stom-
ach. The foreigner took a bad beating
around the equator without fiinching.
He also was pelted heavily in the face
at times.
1t was not as interesting as most Of the
fights in which Mascart has figured.
That was because he could not reach
Anderson with a clean punch except at
widely scattered intervals.
The twelve trnund semi final between
Bonny Hall, a St. Louis negro bantam
weight. and Hllly Levine of Coney Is
land was a very sanguinary affair. The
crimson flowed steadily from HilIy's
mouth, eyes and nose during the last
six rounds.
Levine in Substitute Role.
Levine substituted for Andy Martin of
Boston, who turned up with a broken
hand. Hilly was in none too good shape.

Levine stuck it out to the bitter and

grew desperate and made a door. die eff

margin and also took the next, but Hall

free handed sIugging, evidently figuring
that Hilly was certain to run down lshort.
ly. After the fifth Levine was very
tired and it no longer was a fight.
Andy De Vodi, Bay Ridge lightweight,
picked a soft one in the person of Joe
Desmond Of Texas. Joe did not know
anything about boxing, so he did not try
to do anything but stick the six round
distance by holding and running alter
nately. De Vodi put the Texan down
five times, but Joe was still there at the
finish, which was better than expected.
The best fight of the night was the
six rounder, in which Billy Kelly, sturdy
Scranton fyweight, Outpointed Nick De
SaIvo of Long Island. Nick lasted the
distance because he is inordinately tough.
Kelly ripped uppercuts to the body and
chin until it seemed that Nick must top
pie. Kelly also caught some singing
left hooks to the head, but he always
shook them off and came charging in.
Harry Traube outpointed Joey Wolfe in
the opening four rounder.

Anderson's unless some of his counsel
wish to inform him.
George Dutch" Anderson in death is

Of his many aliases and combinations of
names, one stards out prOminentIy-Ira
S. Won Teller. That is believed to be
his real name. There is the story which
will in time, no doubt, become part of
the Anderson legend, that he was the
scion of a wealthy noble Swedish family.
Because Of his escapades in that country
he became a remittance man and for
years was paid a handsome income so
long as he remained away from Sweden.
He is known to have been well educat-
ed. He spoke German, Spanish and the
Finnish and Scandinavian tongues fluent

and Federal authorities Anderson was
considered the more dangerous. Ander-
son, it is believed, was the planner, the
director.
Certainly his was an intellect far supe-
rior to Chapman's. Anderson and Chap

then their careers have been woven in
extricabIy together and each has been

much so that it has been said Anderson
dared invade the Hartford, Conn, court
room where Chapman was being tried
for the murder of a New Britain patrol
man.
The Hance couple had reason to believe
that Chapman was relying upon Ander-
son to wreak vengeance for the informa-
ton given by Hance which led to the
capture of Chapman in Muncie last year.

YOUR INCOME TAX

Your income tax for the year 1924
is less, in proportion to your income,
than was the tax for 1923. A rate
reduction, however, is not. the only
benefit afforded by the revenue act
of 1924. Increase in the exemption
for married persons, a % per cent re-
duction on learned income" and
other changes in revenue legislation
are of immediate interest to every
taxpayer.
The revenue act of 1924 requires
that returns be filed by every single
person whose net income for 1924
was $1,000 or more, or whose gross
income was $4,000 or more, and by
every married couple whose aggre-
gate gross income was $2,5OO or more,
or whose aggregate gross income
was $4,000 or more. Last year re
turns were required of married

Head Lettuce Should Not Be
Washed Until Ready for Use

Cleanliness as practiced by the
average housewife may be q virtue,
but when it comes to putting head
lettuce in the refrigerator for fu-
ture use, it is a wise cook who will
refrain from washing the lettuce un-
til ready to use it Immediately.
Head lettuce and many other vege-
tables as well, as commonly found
on the market, are highly contami-
mated with bacteria from the soil.
Washing head lettuce any great
length of time prior to using gives
these millions Of heterogeneous
the chance of a lifetime in their
race to devour the leaves before the
family has a chance.
In a number Of rather extensive
Investigations to determine the
amount of initial bacterial contami-
nation occurring on head lettuce and
the changes produced by the condi-
tions of handling and storage, the
Bureau of Chemistry of the United
States Department of Agriculture
found that fresh lettuce is decidedly
cleaner, bacteriologically speaking,
toward the center of the head, but
the central part eventually be-
comes as highly contaminated as the
outer leaves. The spread Of the
bacteria from the outer leaves to the
inner leaves is fastened when the
lettuce head is washed, even though
it is later placed in the ice box. The
Bacterial spread may be retarded by
keeping the lettuce head in its origi-
nal dry state and in cold storage.
1t is a ommon practice of the

A Fair Exchange
Between Communities

Are school districts parasites if
they get their teachers from other
communities and have none to of
fer other communities? The sup
ply of trained teachers-minimum of
two years of advanced preparation
beyond high school graduation
is not sufficient to place one in each
school room. Should not communi-
ties study their needs and plan in
telllgently to meet them? Few COM
munities are fortunate enough to
have enrolled in the State Normal
schools at least one student to each
three teachers in their district.
This splendid ration, however, due
to the two-year period of training,
furnishes enough new teachers for
requirements providing each teacher
serve at least six years. Since this
number of years is considerably
above the average of tenure in rural
communities, more students must be
encouraged to enter normal schools.
Teaching is not a commonplace
vocation. 1t includes more than
giving information and developing
skill in pupils to use the three RS.
Reading, writing and arithmetic in
and of themselves are of little value.
They are tools which pupils may
learn to use with little or with much
value. Pupils may learn to read but
if they spend their time reading de-
grading things they may be worse
than i~lliterates. Without ideals for
their proper use skill in writing and
ability to calculate sums in arith-
metic may assist pupils to become
artful forgers of notes and profess
sional ~swindlers. To teachers, sec
ond only to parents, comes the privi-
lege of leading pupils to form ideals
of self control and of inter-relation-
ships with others. Young people
are beginning to appreciate this fact
and to realize that the greatest SER
vice they can do this Nation is in
