"ShOrt Circuited" Fire
Flies Now Are Produced

New York, July "a P-"Short
circuited" fire flies that remain
permanently lit have been pro-
duced by William S. Creighton. a
graduate student of Princeton, he
announces.
Mr.. Creighton, who is working
with the curator of entomology of
the American museum of natural
history said that shots of adre-
nalin, administered with a tiny
syringe between the body segments
Of the insects, cause muscular con-
traction which furnish continuous
instead of an intermittent supply of
oxygen to the light-producing cells.
Heavy doses of the drug have kept
individual fire flies cit up" for "a
hours, he asserted, but these indi-
viduals died. Lighter doses produced
three TO four hours of steady light,
he said, the only bad effect being
somewhat of Jag" from which the
fire flies recovered.

CIVIC LEAGUE ON GAMBLING

NltiC LEiGIE On GAMBLING
Editor, New Britain Herald:
In your issue of July 21st you
stated a second time that the Civic
league tried to stop the publication
of the treasury balances because they
were used as a basis for gambling.
We wish you would correct this
statement for at no time has the
league attempted to stop such pub
LEGATION. The league has protested
against organized gambling based on
these balances, that is all.
Realizing as your editorial init
mates, that gambling must be stop
ped by education, the league dis
tributed, over two years ago. a circu-
lar which quoted many court de-
cisions on this subject. 1t went to
all ministers and to some officials,
and others, and was a feature OF our
annual meeting that year.
The Civic league is primarily an
educative force; and realizing that
the law itself is a great educative
force, we believe that strict OBJ
servance of law is one OF the most
potent forces of education that a
democracy like ours has.
Gambling or betting, as between
man and man. may affect two people
adversely; but gambling that is pro-

SLOW AUTO|STS TO
BE TOLD TO SPEED
State Police Want Traffic to
Move Faster

Robert T. Hurley, superintendent
of the state police department, re-
ports that the traffic problem Great
ed by the slow driving motorists Is
again becoming serious, The super
intendent said yesterday: THE po-
lice problem of creating safe driving
conditions is today inseparably
linked with the problem of eXpedit-
ing the movement of traffic. Unless
motorists who choose trunk high
ways on Sundays and holidays for
their travels move at a reasonable
rate OF speed, it will be necessary for
state policeman to ask them to draw
to the side of the road until the line
OF cars In their rear has had an OPP
portunlty TO pass by"
Two years ago Superintendent
Hurley wrote an open letter TO the
motoring public and caused circulars
TO be distributed by state policemen
pointing out the inconvenience and
danger caused to all other motorists
by the operator who drove his car
at an unusually slow rate OF speed.
Connecticut was one of the first
states TO draw the attention of mo-
florists TO the traffic hazard created
by the operation of cars on heavily
travelled state highways at too slow

PRESIDENT GIVES
SEVERAL OPINIONS
Not Worried Over Foreign Trade
Silent on Debts

Paul Smiths n. Y, July "a Up
President Coolidge has no informa-
ton on what use was made of money
advanced to Great Britain during the
war, except statements of treasury
officials to British officials in the re-
cent debt controversy.
His views on a variety of subjects
were made known at the summer
executive offices yesterday. The
president believes the United States
is in a better position to handle its
foreign trade than other countries
are, and will continue to be in bet
ter position, and is not likely to lose
any of the trade it has.
The president admits there is keen
competition in foreign trade but yes
terday said he knew of no organized
movement in foreign countries to-
ward regaining avenues of trade the
United States has entered.
He does not consider that the mis-
sion Of Lincoln c. Andrews, assist
ant secretary of the treasury who is
NOW in England, is to undertake
negotiation of any liquor treaty with
Great Britain. This matter is in the
hands of the chief executive and the
state department.
In reference to reports that Gov
ernor General Wood of the Philip
pines was resigning, Mr.. Coolidge's
latest communication from the gov
ernor general indicate that he has
no such intention.
The first weekend guest to be re-
ceived at the summer White House
is Curtis d. Wilbur, secretary of the
navy, who is also reporting on de-

cent explosion at Lake Denmark,

CROWD CHURCHES
ON CLOSING EVE
Mexican WorshipperS Fearful
New EdiCt Will End Services

Mexico City, July "a R-The
Mexican government is going ahead
with its program of putting into eff
feet and enforcing its new religious
regulations. at midnight next Satur-
day. There has been no suggestion
of any modification by the govern
ment of its program.
Denial has been given by govern
ment officials that all the federal
troops have been instructed to be
ready for instant action in case
there are disorders August /, but il
was added that such an order might
be issued if it should be regarded
necessary.
President Gales has proclaimed
the supplementary regulations in
private schools. These prescribe
that no minister of any religious
cult may act as director or teacher
in private schools. They also place
a ban on chapels, oratories. religious
pictures, images and other objects of
a religious nature in such schools.
Various schools which already
have been closed or are epected TO
be forced by the government to
cease intend to reopen at border
points in the United States, thus en-
abling Mexican families with little
trouble, to send their children across
the frontier to receive religious in
struction. Sister Maria Ensenadora,
with 20 sisters of the school of
which she was the head, has depart
ed for Eagle Pass, Texas, where the
institution will be reopened.
Meanwhile the religious situation
daily is becoming more tense. Cath
ole circles here have been greatly
stirred by the closing Of the head,
quarters of the National League fol-
Defense of Religious Liberty and tbs
arrest of the leaders Of the organi'
zation.
Enormous crowds continue daily
to invade the churches to worship
or to have children confirmed OF
baptized, being fearful that on Aug
ust l all church functions will cease
The great cathedral here has PROVED
inadequate SO far as space is con
cerned to hold the crowds which
daily have been focking there. More
than 5000 children were confirmed
there yesterday and there also were
many baptisms. Hundreds of moth
ers were unable to gain entrance
with their babies.
Ambulances are stationed outside
the edifice to render aid to persons
who may be injured. Thus far no
body has been seriously hurt, bu

PINE COUNTY GETS LITTLE
INHERITANCE TAX

Estates probated throughout Mime
sofa for the year ending June 80 last,
paid a total of $930,2S3.7O into the
state treasury in the shape of inher-
itance taxes. In all, 1860 estates
contributed.
Under the inheritance tax act, ten
percent of the amount collected in
each county is returned to the county
and this week Ray P. Chase, State
Auditor, mailed checks to each, in &C
cordance with the law. A total of
S93,028.37 was distributed.
AS in other tax distributions,
counties like Hennepin, Ramsey and
st. Louis profit the heaviest, but this
is because of the fact that their con-
tributions in inheritance taxes are
larger than the other eighty-four
counties and the return is in keeping
with the amount.
Pine county's share covering one
estate is $2.87. The smallest check,
$1.21 was received by Carlton county
and the largest, $47,39564, by Hen
nepin county. Ramsey county re-
ceived $21,362.56 and st. Louis coun-
ty $5,077.6s.
