metics and toilet articles made in the United States in 1925 and how does it compare with the value in previous years What toilet article ranks first.
 A. According to data collected at the recent biennial census of manu- factures, perfumery, cosmetics and value s141,4SS,000 were made in the United States during 1925, an in crease of nearly 19 per cent com pared with s119,237.060 in 1923. Creams and rouges came first with a value of sS4178,000 and denti- frice second with value Of s25,- 496,000.
 Q. How far is the earth from the sun? How is the distance meas ured?
 A. The United States Naval Ob- servatory says that the distance from the earth to the sun is usually found by making use of the suns mean equatorial horizontal parallax; this is the angle or difference of di- reCtion between two imaginary straight lines, the one passing through the ccrters of the earth and sun, the other passing through the center of the sun and being tangent to the earth at the equator; the two bodies being at their mean distances. Many different met hods are described as having been used to determine this angle. The ac- cepted value is S.S0. If We divide the earth's equatorial radius by the sine of S.S0, the result is about 92,900,o0O miles and that is the mean distance from the earth to the sun.
 Q. Do drowning persons always rise three times before sinking finally?
 A. A drowning person struggles to keep on the surface of the water and in his fright and struggles draws water into the windpipe, which makes him cough. Cough ing eXpels considerable air from the lungs and he sinks again. If all the air is expelled from the lungs at once he will not rise second time. This is especially true when the victim is fully clothed Under favorable circumstances the pemon may sink and rise many times be- fore his strength fails.
 Q. When was the first bank in the United States established and chartered and where?
 A. Philadelphia, March ], 17S0.
 Q. What will prevent a canary from pulling out it's feathers?
 A. A piece of raw bacon hung in the cage is helpful.

one step further, to the Supreme Court, remains to be seen. So far a significant silence has been the chief characteristic of Sinclair and his company, giving the impression it was regarded as golden under the circumstances. The plea of possibility Of self-incrimination "one not resorted 10 by honest men," in the words Of the court, was the refuge Of Falls son-in- law.
 Note these words of the court, which can be construed as having a wider application than the one case being reviewed.:
 Tt would seem that men of standing In the business world, when accused of being bribers, would be quick to resent the charge and be eager to furnish all infor- nation possible that might remove such stain upon their regulations. xxx Men of honest motives and purposes do not remain silent when their honor is assailed. It is amazing that officers of great oil companies would flee their country and refuse to testify in 8 suit brought by their own govern ment to unearth an alleged fraud practiced on it by high official" '"
 The eason for this silence has been self-evident from the begin ming. The gentlemen who so ig- nominously fled from their coun- try simply felt they were caught in net and could not defend themselves. This was the opinion Of the public which had at it's dis posal all the evidence 1t needed to come to a correct conclusion.
 "Is a court compelled to close it's eyes to these circumstances? Is 1t to assist by nice technicalities and legal blindness the transac- ton such as the government charges took place and such breach of trust as the evidence points unerringly to if not 10 ab- solve criminality? These gentlemen have the right to remain silent, to evade, to refuse to furnish infor- | nation, and thus to defy the gov ernment to prove it's case. But a court Of equity has the right to draw reasonable and proper infer ences from all the circumstances in the case, and especially from the silence of Secretary Fall and from the failure Of Sinclair to testify"
 Thus spoke the Circuit judges and the logic is self evident.

MRS. HALL PLANS ID QUIT NEW JERSEY
'NOt a Fit Place" Widow h. dicted in Murder Case Says

Somerville, N. J., Sept. 2s Lr-- New Jersey, her home for years, is not a fit place in which 10 live. in the opinion of Mrs. Frances Stevens Hall, indicted with three male rela- tiyes for the murder of her husband and Mrs. Eleanor Mills.
 Mrs. Hall talked for publication yesterday for the third time since her clergyman husband and his choir singer inamorata were slain four years ago. When asked if she resented the reopening of the case, which resulted in her indictment, she said:
 Well, I have just about reached the conclusion that New Jersey is not fit place for decent people to live. I do not know whether l shall continue to live here or not. used to be a good American. and am still a good American, but I am becoming skeptical.
 This is no real investigation. It is simply intended to link myself and family with the murders. I am sur prlSed that the state dld not issue blanket warrant for the whole fam fly. have no fear of Investigation. I know that I am innocent"
 Mrs. Hall denied that she had hired large numbers of detectives to work on the case. as Special Prose- cutor Alexander Simpson has alleged has been done by the defendants. She said she had always understood that a visiting card found by the body of her husband. hailed by Simpson as important because of finger prints. had been placed there by reporters.
 Mrs. Hall. who is free in s40.000 bail, yesterday visited in the Somer- set county jail her brothers, Henry and Willie Stevens, and her cousin, Henry De La B. Carpenter.

COOLIDGE AND wADswORTH

When Presiden Coolidge was in the West he made a speech lauding Senator Lenroot. The speech was for special consumption in Wiscon- sin. where the senator was facing the gruelling prospects of a direct pri- nary-which he subsequently lost.
 While spending the summer in New York state President Coolidge was visited by Senator Wadsworth for a two hours stay; but the Presi- dent did not make an address fa voring Wadsworth, and in no public statement did he give the New York senator any assistance.
 The reason why the President was eager to "help Lenroot" and not eager to help Wadsworth was be- cause the latter is lied up with the beer and wine advocates. The President has let 1t be known that he will not be identified with wet and dry fight in any state at any time. He has adopted a hands off policy so far as prohibition is con- cerned.
 The reason Is not far to seek Had the President given assistance to Wadsworth his action would have been held up in western states as one Of helping wet" It probably would have lost some dry votes. The Republican party, taking the country as whole. is not going out of it's way 10 lose any dry votes or any wet votes either. for that matter.
 Senator Wadsworth, it is known, would have dearly relished a few kind public words from the public, especially in view of the wet and dry schism existing in the grand old party Of the Empire state; but the President remains canny and wise. Wadsworth will have 10 do his own electioneering.
 Judging from the nature Of the enforcement plank" adopted by the New York Republican conven- tion an attempt is being made to please both vets and drys. The re- suit in all probability will not greatly discommode the Democratic party.

STEEL MADE IN NEW ENGLAND

IL must be with feeling of sat isfaction, mingled with considerab be expectancy, that New Englanders learn that the first pig iron manu- factured in New England in 0 years has been produced at the great new plant Of the Mystic Iron Works Ev- erett, Mass. The enterprise means that New England is to make an as- sault upon the supremacy of the Middle West in the iron and steel industry. President Coolidge, press ing golden telegraphy key in the White House, set off the spark which began operations at the blast fur mace, thus helping to emphasize the importance of the big event.
 The manufacture of pig iron was one of New England's first in dustries. It fourished for a time, but half a century ago saw it's de- mise in the face of the formidable competition of the Middle West. Since that time competition from that section and other sections still bedcvils New England industries, but in the majority of cases this tier Of states has been able to adjust itself 10 changing conditions. Nov we are to see one new great in yiustry again being tried out in tn. Garden of Eden where il originally started,
 Conditions have changed in half century and it may he possible to build lip a great iron and steel in- dus,ry along the Mystic river. Raw material may have 10 come a long way, but the finished product has less distance 10 go if sold in New
 England, 1t has cheap water trans portation along the Atlantic coast, and it has cheap water iransporta- ton through the Panama canal to the Pacific coast. Steel products made in Massachusetts should find it easy to compete with the western product along the Pacific. or to such oth.r points where water trans rortalion enters.
