Airships TO Be Held
To Mast By Metal
Nose-Caps

LONDON, Sept. Important
results have been garnered from
the Investigations conducted by
the English air department into
the recent breaking away of
the giant airship R-33 from its
mooring mast at Pullman.
It will be recalled that the
airshipl broke away after tear
ing its nose from the mast, and
one of the results Of the inves-
LEGATIONS will be that in future
British airships will be fitted
with metal nose caps to prevent
a. repetition CT this happening.
Experimentally the new nose
cap idea will first be tried out
on the RIB now being repaired

TOKYO, Sept. 1.-The ''jishin, I

again in Tokyo today. This time,
however, it did not warn the pop
ulace to flee from an onrushing
wave of death and terror. 1t sum
moned them to pause for a mo.
ment in the midst of their busy
work of reconstruction and pay
tribute to those who died in the
great disaster that swept the city
on Sept. /, 1928.
Today, the second anniversary
of Japan's greatest earthquake and
fire, sees a nation rapidly hiding
the scars left by that holocaust.
The work Of rebuilding is still far
from complete. But much has been
done to bring about the erection
of q, new Tokyo.
Promptly at noon, the hour when
the tremendous quake literally
shook Tokyo and a large area q
Japan off it's feet, subdued signal
sounded through the city and all
activity ceased for q brief period.
Tramcars stopped, the laboTers
ceased their toll. traffic was halted
and the city reverently bowed its
head In. memory of those who
persisted.
Only q moment was the activity
of the city thus halted and then
the residents went on about their
appointed tasks. In many homes
and in the multitude of temples
throughout the city, however, the
entire day was set aside to paying
tribute to the dead.

Among a score of lesser hobbies,
the Senator devotes his spare time
TO farming, mountain climbing, ten
mis-, sailing and other sports. In
his youth, the Senator was foot
ball and track star at the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania, and his love
for sports has never waned.
The north woods, deep under a
mantle of snow, furnish the Sena.
tor with his greatest pleasure. He
loves to hike far into the snowy
wilderness with camera. His
prize of the chase is a photograph
of a huge wild. moose, taken at
twenty yards focus.
Chased Moose
st hunted this moose with a
camera he told friends afterward.
s'I chased him for more than an
hour on snowshoes, while he plowed
through the great drifts, sinking
to his shoulders in the snow at
every leap. At last wore him
down, and when / came up to him
he was trampling down a circle in
anticipation OF a fight. He was
snorting with anger, so merely
snapped my photograph and de-
parted with haste, leaving him
standing in kis circle of trampled
snow. That moose doesn't know
to this day what the chase was
all about"
The senator is an excellent
mountain climber He has tested
his ability both on American peaks
and in the Alps. His greatest OBJ
iective has been to climb the south
face of Mount Katahdin, in Maine,
during the winter SHOWS. He has
made five attempts, in each OF
which he failed.
No other man has ever made the
ascent, but Pepper won't give Up
hope. He says he viii try again
next winter, and the sixth time
he'll succeed. Mount Katahdin, by
the way, is the second highest
peak on the Atlantic coast, and.
while often climbed from the north
side, it has never been topped
from the south face.
On his mountain climbing ven-
lures, Pepper has camped out in
the open for two weeks at a time.
He has faced great hardships, in

vacation trip, the Senator lives on

TO his neighbors, and enjoys a local
reputation as carpenter.

''to get out on the farm and take

Heavy Eater
His weakness is eating. The
Senator loves hearty meals.
1--WE never really had enough to
eat" is his plant. Many times
I've faced the opportunity Of get
ting enough to satisfy my appetite,
but I've always had to stop because
of my capacity. It's a weakness,
and l have to struggle continually
to keep my weight down"
Back in 1883 and 1884 Pepper
was an athletic star at the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania. Today he
plays an ''old mans game" OF ten
nis-too young yet for golf-and he
is an ardent baseball fan. In 1914
he defended organized baseball in
litigation caused by the Federal
Leagues meteoric career. He per-
sonally drafted the agreement
entered into by the American and
National leagues when peace was
finally restored. Recently he has
used his influence toward the cree
ton of a permanent memorial to
baseball in the national capital.
The Senator also devotes much
time to reading, particularly on OBJ
scure legal points. His great legal
attachments have won him wide
recognition and many honors, in

TROP|C FRUIT
IN INDIES
Agriculture Department Sends
Mangosteen Trees to DC
cidentaI Tropics
BY HARRY WARD

The mangosteen, the most IA
nous fruit in the world, may make
it's first commercial appearance up
on the markets Of this country
within the next ten or fifteen
years. according to an announce
ment made by the Department
Of Agriculture.
For years it was thought that
this fruit could not be cultivated
outside the Asiatic tropics, but ex'
periments in the West Indies have
proved this to be without founda-
ton.
The mangosteenl is unlike any
fruit cultivated in the United States,
but it can only be grown where
the temperature never drops below
80 degrees above zero. IT is the
size of q mandarin orange, deep
purple externally, with a thick
wood rind. Within are several seq
ments of snow-white1 pulp Of ex-
tremely delicate flavor, Because
of its great delicacy and the diff
ficulty of transporting the fruit
long distances, Queen Victoria is
said to have once offered a hand

In the hope OF providing nu-

Gently sent several shipments of
young trees to the Canal Zone,

With the advent OF refrigeration.
1t has become possible to sent the
fruit north OF the tropics without
great difficulty. 1t seems unlikely
that American markets will be sup
piled from Southern Asia, however.
The development of commercial
orchards in tropical America will
be a slow process. Government ex-
perts say, but the project is being
undertaken with energy, and 1t

Three Major Problems of Next Congress

the new tax bill early in October so
that the measure will be ready for
prompt action when congress meets.
This plan will make unnecessary any
special session of congress. General
revision of the tariff Is not desirable
and will not be undertaken.
"Vice President Dawes Is not pro-
posing any specific change in the
rules, as I understand" Senator Will
lis said, "but he is calling the atten-
ton Of the country to the need Of re-
vision to eliminate f1libusters and pre-
vent abuse Of power by individual
members. In so doing, General Dawes
is rendering valuable public service"
The world court problem is to be
taken up early in December for final
decision, and Senator Willis said he
will press for consideration of a reso-
luton he introduced in the last regu-
lar session Of congress and reintro-
duced at the special session of the
senate in March, which embodies the
reservations proposed by President
Harding, Secretary Hughes and Presi-
dent Coolidge,

Changes in Departments at the Capital

FURTHER changes in the organi-
E zation Of the government depart
4 ments are looked for following
the transfer of the patent office
from the Interior department to the
Department of Commerce. The trans
fer affected 1,246 employees.
The patent-off1ce transfer carried
out one of the two recommendations
with regard to changes in the lineup
Of the Interior department bureaus
recommended by the joint congress
sional committee on reorganization of
the executive departments. The other
recommendation involved transfer Of
the bureau of mines to the Commerce
department.
Secretary Of the Interior Work and
Secretary Of Commerce Hoover, who
are represented to be in complete ac-
cord with the recommendations Of the
joint committee, discussed the trans
fer for several months before it was
made Doctor Work secured an opin-
lon from the attorney general as to
whether the act of 1903 authorizing
the President to transfer bureaus
from one department to another with
out specific authorization Of congress
Arizona state miner., 1925-06-27

was continuing act. He was In
formed it was with regard to scien-
tifc bureaus, and it was then left to
the President to decide whether the
patent office was to be classified as a
scientific bureau.
The present intention of govern
ment heads with regard to the bureau
of mines has not been stated, although
officials gave 1t as their opinion that
the transfer of the bureau from the
Interior department to the Commerce
department would need specific au-
thorization from congress, inasmuch
as the bureau was placed in the In
terror department by congress.
Extensive changes in the personnel
of the patent office are not contem-
plated, Secretary Hoover said, adding
that better organization Of the gov
ernment, to secure economy and eff
cheney, requires that functions of SINH
lar major purpose shall be grouped to-
gether.
Change in the procedure, with re-
spect to protection of rights of Ameri-
Can patentees in foreign countries Is
forecast by Mr.. Hoover.

Ambassador Schurman Liked in Berlin

The grabbing is not so good in
that political grab bag-the diplomatic
service-as 1t used to be. This is
proved by President Coolidge's promo
tion recently Of such men as Secretary
of State Kellogg, Ambassador Hough-
ton, Doctor Schurman (portrait here
with) and the promotion Of a number
of others who chose a career in the
diplomatic service to the rank Of min
lister. With the reorganization of our
foreign service following the passage
of the Rogers bill last summer, and
the Inauguration of a policy providing
our representatives abroad with gov
ernment-owned domiciles, the Ameri-
can diplomatic service is becoming a
profession, the political experts say.
Gradually we are getting away from
the old conception that the more i'm
portant posts were best disposed of by
paying political debts, especially to
generous campaign contributors.

Why Sea Food Has Become Expensive

In 30 years the catch of shad along
our Atlantic coast has decreased to
only quarter Of what it was, and the
price to the consumer has increased
fivefold. The catch of sturgeon in
rivers and lakes has fallen to little
more than one-eighth of what it was,
and the price in the markets has cor
respOndingly increased to eight times
what it was. The catch of Holsters is
about One-third of that OF former
years, while the price Is nine times
as great. These are facts officially
obtained by Secretary Hoover, and re-
ferred to the governors Of the sea-
board states for their consideration.
The causes are obvious to all. They
are chiefly two: Wasteful and de-
structive methods Of taking the fish,
and pollution of rivers, bays and
coastal waters generally with sewage,
sludge, oil and other matter stupidity
called waste" OF course, it has
seemed to short-sighted persons "the
easiest way" to get rid Of such stuff,
simply to pour it into the nearest wa
ter. But the easiest way is sometimes
the worst way, In economics as well
as in morals.

- HREE major problems will oc-
cupy the attention Of the next
congress, in the opinion of Sena-
tor Frank B. Willis Of Ohio. The
first Of these problems, Senator Willis
said, is tax reduction; the second,
such amendment of the rules as will
facilitate public business and still pre-
serve the right Of legitimate debate,
and the third, the world court.
The most important of these three
questions, the Buckeye senator be-
lieves, is tax reduction.
Tightening Of the tax burdens Of
the people is made possible by the
very satisfactory returns from the tax
laws now in force and by the substan-
tial economies that have been effect
ed" Senator Willis said. 'The $780,
100000 surplus this year and the esti-
mated surplus next year of $300,0OO,-
900 make certain important tax reduc-
ton. A million a day Of tax cut
away will be the slogan Of the next
congress.

~ ECRETARY HOOVER invited
the governors Of all the mari
~ time states from Maine to
Texas to send representatives to
a conference last week to consider the
conservation Of food fish In Atlantic
and Gulf coastal waters. Simultane-
ousIy the Navy department announced
forthcoming exploration and survey Of
the Gulf and the Caribbean, and per-
haps Of much Of the Atlantic ocean, in
order to study the problem of con-
serving and cultivating the food re-
sources of the sea. The coincidence
Is significant
Indeed, there is need Of prompt and
vigorous action, if sea food is not al
most to vanish from our markets It
Is easy to say, Of course, that the At
lantic ocean is too big for man to ex-
haust, and that it's supply Of edible
fish is illimftable. But every one who
has looked into the matter knows that
that is sheer nonsense. The cold fact
Is that our supply Of sea food is al
ready sorely depleted, so that some
Of the choicest varieties, once abun-
dant and cheap, are now scarce and
costly objects Of luxury.
