TO TEST BATHING BAN
 AT ALEXANDER'S LAKE
Danielson Man Arrested and Appeals to the Superior
 Court
Recall. Roselsnd Lake csse.-can Be
 No Action Before Fall

What may become a test case Of the right of persons te hatha ln AleNan- der's Lake has just been appealed from the killiugiy town court Co the Windham County Superior court Ar thur DeForest of Danielsau was fined Sl and actual costs by Judge W Fen ner Woodward in the killmgly town court. and through his attorney. John F. Carpenter of Putnam. has appealed to the superior court.
 DeForest. who is a World War vet eran and former member of the Dan ielson borough police. was ordered into court by State Policeman Ross Urqu= hart He was charged with violating the statute which forbids bathing in bodies of water in Use as reservoirs. Since this lake Is the source of the wa ter supply of the village of Goodyear. state troopers have been keeping a rather close watch to apprehend bath CTS in its waters.
 An Old Controversy
 There has been considerable agita- ton for bathing privileges in Alexau- der's Lake. but all Of these have eeme Co naught against the strenuous eppe- sition of the Goodyear Mills. Inc. own CTS of the WilIiamsville Water Com pany. There are several cottages on the shores of the lake. and 1t has of ten been reported that bathing was in dulged in from these by summer resi- dents. but no one has been arrested.
 4 nominal fine was imposed by the town court, and f now appears that there will be an opportunity Co find out what the superior court and per haps the supreme court of errors of the state will have ts say about ths case.
 Roselsnd Park Case
 Two summers ago a somewhat par allel case arose in connection with bathing in Woodstock Lake, except that here the circumstances were re versed. for the effort was Co stop bath ing in the lake rather than to have it permitted Some campers were ar rested in a case which was intended for test case. 1t was, however. dropped before it reached the higher courts. and nothing further has been heard of it. Meanwhile bathing con- tinues from the Roselaud Park payil- ion and from privately owned property along the shores.
 Whatever disposition is made of the DeForest ease. nothing can possibly be decided during the present summer. since the superior court will not be in session until fall and there is always the possibility chat it may 20 from there to the supreme court of the state. Meanwhile state troopers will eontiu- ue watehful at the lake and have de elared their intention of arresting and prosecuting hathefs

Iodine from Seaweeds Is
Best Remedy for Goiter

phia.-Iodine from seaweeds
as a preventive of high blood pressure
and hardening of the arteries was out
lined today before the American Chem
ical society convention.
DR.. j. w. Turpentine of the bureau
of soils, United States Department Of
Agriculture, speaking before the divi-
sion of the chemistry of medicinal
products, said studies in the govern
ment laboratories show that the ex-
cess weight of advancing years may
frequently be attributed to an inactive
thyroid gland, indicating an made
quate supply of iodine in the human
system.
The activity Of iodine naturally oc-
curing in seaweed was shown to be
some 200 times greater than that Of
the iodines frequently used in the
treatment and prevention Of goiter, he
said.
BY activity, he explained, was meant
the power of the iodine to increase or
restore the normal functioning of the
thyroid gland. The abnormal func.
tioning Of that gland results in goiter.
he said.

In Texas and Oklahoma similar at

No. Magnus, l think you're off on

Kimball Young Man, Aged rs
Illicit Liquor Alleged to Have Been
Purchased Near Cold Spring
Community UP In Arms

Kimball turned out enmasse today
for the funeral of Edgar Walters 25
who died at a. M, Monday at Kim
ball after he had drank moonshine
whiskey purchased from a bootleggel
said to live near Cold Spring.
Coroner H. A. Pinault pronounced
the cause of the death as the drinking
of poison moonshine ait an inquest
held Monday.
Walters died about eight hours af-
ter he fell unconscious in ditch
near the road one half mile south OF
Kimball. He became unconscious
about $50 Sunday evening.
The drinking came as result of a
joy ride which Walters, who is son
of William Walters of Kimball, took
Sunday afternoon in company with
Raymond Carlson, %, and Harland
Avery, 18, both of Kimball, according
to Doctor G. E. Sherwood of Kim
ball.

was disagreement but state that
there were no blows. Doctor Pinault
stated that no marks of struggle We're
found on the body.
The three lads had started out for
drive in Avery's car at about p.
m. Sunday. They went north into
Stearns county to some point near
Cold Spring where they are said to
have purchased moonshine. Later
they drove to Watkins and from Wat
kins started east to Kimball.
The whole countryside has turned
out for the funeral held at the Christ
ian church today.
"Kimball and vicinity are up in
arms against Stearns county author
ities who have allowed the selling of
moonshine to go on" Doctor Sher-
wood said Wednesday. "Wednesday

NATIVE CLIMATE !
FOR MONKEY HOME
New Equipment at Institute
to Aid in Study Of
Simians.

Paris.-A palatial concrete and glass
establishment for monkeys that sup
plies every simian comfort possible In
chilly northern cline Is a recent ad
dition to the equipment of the Pas
teur institute.
Experimental work on the types OF
animals most nearly approaching man
is first requirement of nearly every
piece of research that helps to fine
some new means of cutting down the
toll Of disease. Unfortunately mon
keys transported from the tropics tt
an alien environment pick up so many
intercurrent infections that precise
and accurate medical work with then
is exceedingly difficult.
Building Designed for Monkeys.
The new building in the grounds OF
the Pasteur institute was built under
the direction of DR.. Albert Calmette
whose tuberculosis vaccine has at
tracted wide attention in medical cir
cles and is especially designed to over
come monkey susceptibilities to dis
ease. Funds for it's construction were
donated by the Princess Marie OF
Greece in honor of her father, Prince
Roland Bonaparte, himself friend ant
patron of scientific endeavor.
Doctor Chalmette has made a close
study Of the animals needs and be
lieves in the midst of northern civil
zatiOn their living condition should ap
proximate as closely as possible theil
natural habitat. Peanuts and bananas
are not the only things monkeys
should eat, circuses and zoos notwith,
standing, according to Doctor Chal
mette.
Have Cook and Valet.
Two big blacks from central Africa
where the Pasteur monkeys were col
lected, act as cook and valet de cham
bre. One burly African in the model
kitchen at one end OF the glass
inclosed building prepares menus as
. chimpanzee would steal for himself in
the depths of the Congo.
Each one has a rOomy chamber in
closed completely with glass or screen
as the weather requires, except for Q
small window in front. Radiators 10,
Gated midway up the wall keep the
atmosphere at jungle temperature
while an elaborate ventilating system
running water and a system OF
perches and swings that would do
credit to any playground help to make
urban home life an attractive substi
tute for a precarious struggle for ex
istence in central African wilds.

"Joker" in Law Makes
Checks Under ST Illegal

Washington:-Any person in the
United States who writes check for
less than one dollar, intending 1t to
circulate as money or to be used in
lieu of lawful money, faces heavy
fine, a Jail sentence or both.
The revised statutes contain this
"joker" which is evaded every day
by citizens and government officials
alike. Uncle Sans big law book reads
as follows:
''No person shall make, issue, cir
culate or pay out any note, check,
memorandum, token or other obliga-
ton for a less sum than one dollar,
intended to circulate as money or to
be received or used in lieu of lawful
money of the United States; and
every person SO offending shall be
fined not more than $500 or impris-
oned not more than six mouths, or
both, at the discretion of the court"
Treasury officials said several diff
ferent views of the law can be taken
and If the usual Interpretation is
given, it is seldom violated. Frank
White, United States treasurer, has
signed thousands Of checks from
cent to 90 cents, it was admitted.

Damage by Vandals Very
Expensive for Public
Highway Signs Favorite Targets for
Thoughtless Hunters-State and
and Counties Issue Warnings

Destruction of Trunk Highway
signs by vandals is costing the state
between tend and fifteen thousand
dollars year, according Ito bulletin
from the State Highway department
The annual expenditure for replace.
ment of highway signs is about $685.
600, and half of this lis due to wantor
destruction. The other half is due
to accidents and action of the ele-
ments.
The Balaton Press Tribune, in IA re-
cent news story about the placing ot
''U. S." road markers on Trunk High
way No. 7, said:
The department. also installed
"Balaton" signs at the east and west
edges of the village. They are to
replace the ones stolen some time
ago by low down whelps of the un-
desirable type. A truck load of mark
ers Of every variety which had been
used as targets and shot beyond Iegi-
bility by vandals had been collected
along the route. 1t is to be greatly
regretted that we are rearing a gen.
Grafton which has so little regard for
public property or the property OF
others. It is high time that a fitting
example be made of some of these
degenerates who deliberately shoot
up road markers, signs, insulators
mail boxes and the like. Though the
law prohibiting this practice is well
known and the penalty imposed q
rather severe one, there seems to be
but little abatement in the damage
thus sustained annually. 1t is cost
ing the state and public utility own
ers large amounts each year for these
acts of vandalism and more of the
youth of eur commonwealth should
be languishing in Jail and e
proportionate number Of degenerate
adults at Saltwater for the destruc-
tion wrought
State highway signs are not the
only ones that suffer. Several coul
ty highway engineers have recently
issued appeals and warnings againrd
the practice. The Grand Rapids
Herald Review, quoting a warning
issued by the engineer of Itasce
ciunty, makes this comment:
Heavy penalties attached to this
misdemeanor, if the person using 9
gun for such a purpose is caught
Either a stiff fine, or Jail sentence
not to exceed 80 days, may be i'm.
posed for the first offense, and great.
er punishment for second offense
It is Thought by the highway officials
that a warning is all that is needed
as those guilty can scarcely under.
stands the gravity of their offense.
The same penalty applies in case
of damage done to guard rails
bridges, culverts, snow fences, roaG
machinery or ito the road surface. A
federal law provides penalties fo'
damage to mail boxes.

Use Gas Flame to Teach
Deaf-and-Dumb Children

London. Deaf-and-dumb children
are taught to speak perfectly, by
means of a gas flame.
This method, used by suburban
teacher with large class Of boys
and girls, is to show each pupil how
he can make gas flame jump to
varying heights and at varying rate
by sounds. It requires about three
months for pupil to learn the sounds
of the alphabet by this method.
Miss liza Thomson, who sponsors
the idea, says "a deaf mute has per-
fectly normal vocal organs and is
mute only because he is deaf. He
makes sounds but is unconscious of
them, and they convey no meaning
to others"
