NOgaIeS 80 Years Ago
(From "The Oasis" August 8. 1850

US whoy do they discount our
money"
L. Lippman, of La Moda, in No
COLES, Sonora, has informed "The
Oasis" that a vessel has set sail
from France, for Guaymas, with a
cargo containing 1900 cases of
groceries, wines, liquors, etc., con-
signed to L. Horvilleur, proprietor
of La Moda. The consignment is
to be distributed to his stores in
Guaymas, Hermosillo and No
gales.
Thursday last a daring attempt
was made to hold up the Interna-
tional Bank in /Nogales, Arizona.
Three mounted men, heavily arm
ed rode into town, and then, after
q few exciting minutes they rode
out again, without the booty they
had anticipated. AS they entered
the bank one Of them levelled a
pistol at the head of Chasier Fred
Herrera, commanding him to hold
up his hands, which re did, while
another went into the back office,
to get around behind the counter
and taken possession of the money.
President John Dessart, who stood
in front of the counter, at the
end next the wall, started for the
street, and was hit with a gun by
the third bandit-inflicting a
slight scalp wound. That diverted
attention from Mr.. Herrera, who
siezed a convenient gun, and
blazed away. The bandit in front
! ran into the street, followed by the
other who had started for the back
office. All three mounted their
horses and rode out of town much
more speedily than they entered.
Mr.. Herrera jumped over the
counter, ran into the street and
emptied his Colts repeater at the
fleeing bandits.

Expenditures for Japanese we'd

ANYWAYS FIVE YEARS
WITHOUT FATALITIES
Army Routes Traversed on
Regular Schedule.

Fairfield, Ohio.-The model airways
of the army for five years have main
tanned, without fatality, a regular
schedule Of flights for passengers and
freight
Since April, 1921, this group has
covered more than a million miles in
the air over 1000 miles of routes
which now are accurately mapped and
organized thoroughfares. The system
is operated under the chief of air
service through an airway control Of
ficer, Lieut.. L.. ]. Maitland Of Wright
field, here.
Average 1000 Miles.
Anyways trips have averaged 1000
miles for each army pilot, all of whom
take turns In making the flights, and
usually cover two days. Ships start
simultaneously from certain flying
fields, such as Boiling, Langley, Self
ridge, Scott and Mitchell fields, and
move over charted lines on schedule.
Sometimes the flyers cross en- route;
sometimes their ways coincide in part.
They fly over all kinds of ground,
in all seasons, and tabulate with the
most minute accuracy every point re-
garding ground and air conditions. 1t
is by means of these repeated first
hand reports that information govern
ing selection Of routes, speeds, alti-
tudes, length of hops and other vital
details has been brought to the point
of usefulness for virtually all of the
United States. Night flights over the
army anyways arranged for the tech
meal equipment necessary to keep the
mails going.
Speed 115 Miles an Hour.
A service passenger, on his first long
chop" over the airways, described the
experience as follows: "a longing
look at the ground near st. Louis, a
big bump, and on the ground again
outside Louisville. Up again and
smoothly down again at Dayton. Av-
erage speed lis miles per hour. Aver
age height, 1000 feet Dayton to
Washington, practically no difference.
D. G. to Mitchell field much the same,
except fewer bumps over the water"
Scheduled army flights heretofore
have run on a weekly basis, but re-
Gently they were restricted to one per
month from each starting point. It is
hoped that in the fall funds and equip
ment will be available to put Doug
las transports on the airways, permit
ting the carrying of seven passengers
on each trip.

British Child Must

London.-England is circusless

plant and watch the beautiful span
gled ladies dance about on prancing
horses in sawdust rings.

circus in the moderB world Philip
Ashley built 1t about 120 years ago
just across the Westminster bridge
from the parliament buildings. 1t be-
came so famous it found its way into
many of Dickens books and continued
to be one of London's favorite places
of amusement until it was sold in
1898.
Street fairs employ many perform
ers who work in the open air and have
small tented menageries, but they are

Gus which the English enjoyed.

RAPPITES' SHRINE
TO BE PRESERVED
Woman to Restore Mems
Quarters of Queer Cult.

New Harmony, MISREPRESENTATION
Of one OF the most interesting links
with the Rsppites has been assured
New Harmony settlers through the
purchase by Miss NJ. E. Fauntleroy Of
an old Rappte dormitory here.
The commercialism Of the present
which crept within its walls, blurring
but not obliterating its historic as
poets, threatened the very life Of the
old structure. For years 1t has housed
stores. Recently it was to be sold to
a junk firm, which would have torn
down part of it and altered the re-
mainder.
Miss Fauntleroy intends to restore
it and eventually it will become a
public shrine in which will be housed
relics Of the quaint German peasants
who followed George Rapp, religious
leader and prophet, into the almost
trackless forests bordering the Wa
bash river, more than century ago.
Under the doctrine Of the Rappites,
oil members practiced selibacy. The

Dormintory No. 2, which Miss Faunt-
leroy bought, was built in 1917. 1t
was the largest Of three erected.
On it's south wall still hangs the
old sundial, across whose face the
frightening shadows measured off the
hours Of rest and toll for the Rappites,
all Of whom worked for the commu-
nifty and not for Individual gain. One
of the dormitories was burned, and
the other now Is hotel.
When the Robert Owen colony took
over New Harmony, the old domitory
No. 2 became the property of Madame
Fretageot, a French woman. For
many years it has been known as the
Fretageot store, descendants of the
madame conducting a business in IT..

Mussolini Begged for
Job Is Years Ago

Bergamo.-Mussolini, only fifteen
years ago, was in such straits of pow
erty that he wandered the streets of
Lausanne, Switzerland, stopping per-
sons who seemed to be Italians, ask
ing them If they would not give him
enough work to allow him to earn n
meal.
This sidelight on the premier's
early life was furnished by Pietro
Nava, stone mason. He wrote Mus
solini, asking if he remembered who
he was. An answer said: II remem-
Der mighty WELL"
Crossing a bridge in Lausanne one
morning in 1911, Signora Nava was
stopped by a starved-looking young
man who timidly asked whether she
was italian. When she responded af-
firmatively, the young man, none
other than Mussolini, pleaded for
work.

Angora, Turkey.-From a miserable
mud settlement with 10000 persons,
Angora has grown In the last few
years to city of $4,000. More than
$50 stone and brick houses have been

The new Turkish capital is growing

lean mining town. A new post office
and parliament building of stone and
concrete have just been completed.
The latter is equipped with furniture
and decorations taken from the former
sultan's palaces at C;onstantinople.
New buildings also are in course Of
erection for the Department of Justice
and for the ministry of education. A
new national museum and modern
hotel are being finished. Plans are
under way for the erection of an opera
house to seat 5000 persons. Two high
schools of modern construction have
just been dedicated, one for boys and
one for girls
Thirty miles Of new macadamized
roads have been laid in the city and
suburbs. The malaria-infested swamps
around the city have been drained,
sodded and planted with trees. The
city now has its own electric plant, n
tile factory, two saw mills, flour
mill and large bakery.
On the other hand, the city still suf-
fers from lack Of water supply and
sewerage system. Exposed to all four
winds, the city is subject to sand and
wfndstorms which in summer make
life almost unbearable. There are no
theaters, restaurants or other places
of amusement. There is virtually no
social life.

Women Plan Tax Strike
While Crickets Remain

London.-The cricket on the hearth
quickly loses all its poetry when too
many invade cellars, pantries and
most everywhere else, in the opinion
of residents of Monarch road, Nor
Hampton. The women of the neighbor-
hood have held several meetings and
have threatened to refuse to pay taxes
until the pests have been ousted.
A few crickets in the house on
summer evening are an omen Of good
luck, say the women, but when they
come in droves, get in the curtains,
under the linoleum and make their
homes in every little opening, that is
sure sign that luck is going a little
too far.
The borough engineer and the town
medical officers have sought ways to
get rid of the insects, but thus far
without success.
