MUNsEVs LIFE LAUDED

President Coolidge paid tribute
to Frank A. Munsey, publisher OF
the New York Sun, whose death
occurred last week, in a telegram
sent to William T Dewart, general
manager of the Sun.
"The death of Frank A. Munsey
has taken one of the outstanding
publishers of our time" he said.
"He started as a poor boy in
Maine. Through energy and an IN
domitable will to succeed, typical
of our true American spirit, he
conquered all obstacles in his path.
AS an editor, he reached a position
of influence in the country. His
support of measures appealing to
his judgment was strong and un-
faltering.
Mr. Munsey was a member of
the commission appointed by me
TO arrange for the celebration OF
the birth of George Washington
The swiftness of his passing has
been the more Of shock for very

Observation Stations Test
Causes of Radio Fading

Investigation of fading on a
scale never before attempted in
the United States will be made in
mid-January at twenty observation
stations, it was announced today
by J. K. Smith of the StewartWar-
ner corporation.
Hitherto such experiments have
been carried on in isolated sections
of the country between two or at
most three stations. The results
of such research have been neg
ligible. There is still no explana-
ton of why signals should be
stronger in the winter when static
electricity leaps out of ones hair
or sparks out of the rug at ones
feet, and weak in summer, when
there are apparently no static
charges in the things about us, ac-
cording to Mr.. Smith.
The Stewart Warner observation
posts will chart readings on sell
ected distant stations every two
minutes during the period of the
tests. The results will be aver
aged and plotted on a map similar
to that issued by the government
weather bureau, It is the belief
Of the engineers conducting the
tests that curves which will make
possible comparison of effects
and search for causes will result
If so, the experiment will be re-
peated at regular intervals thru
out the winter.
By comparison of fading and
the static curves with those of
the U. S. weather map it will be
possible to determine the effect
Of weather on such phenomena, ,"
said Mr. Smith, "by plotting the
curves of fading and static in
tests on stations of varying wave
length some tangible progress
may be made toward discovering
what frequencies are best for
broadcast.

Sees Good Results from
Grazing Investigations

The following letter appeared in
the December issue of the PRO
ducer," the official organ of the
American National Livestock AS
sociation, published in Denver,
Colorado:
Tucson, Arizona
November 81, 1925.
TO THE PRODUCER:
On a Saturday evening, when
cowpuncher was accosted by a
friend with the usual salutation:
"How's everything?" the reply was
Been hell all week and worse to-
dayi" This we'll deserves the
feelings of the fellow who shipped
cattle to Kansas pastures last
spring. My cattle, consisting of
so per cent steers, averaged on
$7.40 per head. With drought
conditions and low markets at
home, it is pretty bad; but when
we ship to Kansas for relief, and
realize only $7.40 per head, it is
fworser and worser."
Present range conditions in SOU
thern Arizona are medium to fair
in places very good. California
has been liberal buyer of Ari-
Zona cattle at 51a cents a pound
for steers and 4 cents for COWS.
Cattle are in good shape. but not
SO heavy as in former years.
The Senate Committee which
visited Arizona during the past
summer was a veritable godsend
to the cowman. 1t is true that
it is a great deal like locking the
stable door after the horse is
stolen; but good results will follow
nevertheless. Gould we have had
these Investigations ten years ago
many cowmen would be in good
circumstances who are now broke.
The attitude Of the Forest Ser
vice toward the cowman was one
of the causes of his deplorable
condition today
1t is a pleasure to read the re-
ports published by the Committee,
and every user of the public do
main or national forest should
read them. Senator Cameron and
his committee have done more
good to the cowman in these in
vestigations than can be appreci-
ated. and the benefits will be en-
joyed for years to come If he
gets his financial aid bill" pass

BODIES
FROM FLOOD
MANY FATALITIES ARE RE-
PORTED IN
MEXICO

MEXICO CITY. June 29.-An
estimate that the total fatalities
in the floods at Leon will exceed
1000, is given by correspondent
of FL Universal, who has just re-
urned from the devastated re-
gions.
Bodies are found in mud left by
the receding waters and there are
fears in Leon that an epidemic
may result. Thirteen hundred
houses were destroyed and an
equal number have been damaged
beyond repair. Six thousand
families are lodged in public
buildings, while six thousand more
are living in the open on the hill
sides, refusing TO return to the
city in fear of recurrence of the
floods.
Only the poor sections of the
city suffered badly from the in
yasions of the waters. The flood
only reached two feet in depth in
the better residential sections.
The number of bodies recovered
thus far is only 100.

BOTTLE WITH MESSAGE DRIFTS
1000 MILES in TEN MONTHS

When William Dawson, a
resident of Inver Bay, Coun-
ty Donegal, Ireland, was
walking on Creyen shore, not
far from his home, he spied
bottle on the beach.
1t was unlike any bottle he
had seen in Ireland. Examina-
ton revealed that there was
paper inside.
Mr.. Dawson found that it
bore a message. The writing
was on a sheet of Panama
Pacific Line paper, in ink
which had been faded by
moisture. Still, it told that
the bottle, which had once
contained ginger ale, had been
thrown from the steamship
Manchuria, near the coast of
Florida on July 10, 1926, by
John Scott, Jr., of New York.
The message was signed by
Mr.. Scott and several other
passengers and requested that
the finder send it to the OPP
orators of the steamship line
at / Broadway, New York.
This Mr.. Dawson did.
The bottle had been cast
overheard in the gulf stream,
and had taken 10 months to
drift to the coast of Ireland,
about 1000 miles.
