TODAY
WHEN GABRIEL BLOWS.
MELLON'S FINANCE PLAN.
THE RICH CAN HOLD OUT.
WHO WILL MAY STUDY.
BY ARTHUR BRISBANE


Hour after hour radio stations at
points far apart, Nome, CordoVa, St
Paul. in the Pribiloff Islands, have
continuously sent out the three let
tiers LBT. Those letters are the call
for the dirigiblc Norge, missing in
the Arctic. When you read this an
answering call may have come from
the explorers, or the call may go on
and never be answered.
What could be more mysterious
than the power of man to send a
reassuring call through the ether
all around the world? To the great
airship the three letters would be
like hearing your name called in
the midst of a forest. Some day,
according to Bible teaching, the
angel Gabriel will send out q call
and every one Of US will have to
answer. We are ! used to chat
thought, but feeble men calling out
across the Arctic ice to their lost
brothers seems more romantic even
than Gabrieps horn.
A new low price for wheat. A
new low price for the French franc.
A rather discouraged windup in
Wall street. Such is the weekend
financial news. Finance is as SEN
Isitive as any newborn babe. 1t
shivers to think of Britain's strike.
Suppose it came here. 1t will not
come here, but just suppose.
Secretary Mellon, working to make
Uncle Sans finances ten times
stronger than the rock of Gibraltar
hates to see the people robbed by
fake stock deals. In The Journal Of
the American Bankers Association he
urges q national program to prevent
sales of fraudulent stocks. He ought
, to include land swindling enterprises
in his useful program, and doubtless
will.
This writer has just investigated
the case Of poor woman persuaded
to pay $400 cash for lease where
land can now be bought for $50 an
acre. The lease would be really high
at $12. And the ingenious rascals. to
stimulate payment of balances due.
. send to each purchaser cock-and-
bull story about traces of gold be-
ing found in the neighb6rhood, warn
ing each buyer that there must be
no digging for gold, If you please,
until the lease is fully paid for.
Such swindling robs women and
..the very old. It hurts every repu-
table real estate enterprise; Injuries
the city and state. This applies
both to Florida and California. The
case mentioned is a California
product. Such shameful exceptions
TO the general honesty injure state
that offers to investors the greatest
opportunities in the world.
-
The British government appears to
have won more than halt the big
!. strike victory. Railway men were
first to yield. Printers that walked
out because they objected to edi-
torial copy sent up, and because they
sympathized with the miners, tired
Of the strike ALSO
Hunger and unpaid bills are hard
drivers. The striking workman must
worry about food tor his family.

Rainfall Last Night-FOr.
estry Department to Prose-
cute Persons Found Re-
spOnsible For Starting the
Fires.

!, Duluth, May 19.--LP) Six brush
and grass fires are still smouldefing
in Duluth district this morning, and
although conditions are much better
than the first part Of the week, the
situation remains very serious and
shifting of the winds to the west
would result in heavy loss to proper
ty and timber, G. s. Lind. district
forest ranger, said.
Hundreds Of fire fighters were. at
fires at Cramer, Finland, Beaver
Bay, Knife River, French River and
Gnesen early today and confined
their efforts to putting out small
blazes as they broke out at different
sections.
Very little rainfall was reported
last night in fire districts but fog
and abatement Of the wind helped
considerably.
Situation Looks Bad
The most serious conditions exist
ing this morning were in Cramer
district where a strong northwestcrly
wind was blowing and the fire threat
ened several settlers sabins. The
situation here looks bad today, said
Mr.. Lind. This fire, which started
last Saturday near Manitou Falls,
spread nine miles within three hours,
making its way to the lake and
spreading back towards the inland.
A total area of about 80 square miles
is involved in the fire district.
Drastic steps will be taken by the
state forestry department in prose-
cutting. all persons found guilty of
starting grass and brush fires, Mr..
Lind announced, stressing that the
majority of the blaxes were started
BY careless fishermen.
Wild Animals Burned
Hundreds of deer, rabbits, part
ridges, and porcupincs have been
found killed by the recent fires, Mr..
Lind said while hundreds of other
animals have been seen roaming
about with their fur singed and
burned.
At French River fires are pretty
wen under control of the fighters
this morning, after strenuous fight
made last night to keep flames from
crossing Cant Road into timber.
Only light rain fell there last
night.
The fire at Finland is burning be-
low Baptism river near the lake
front and is pretty we'll at hand with
numerous smouldering places keeping
the fighters busy.

man efforts, light rains, fog and
abating winds Tuesday night had re-
duced northeastern Minnes0ta's fire
