GERALD CHAPMAN, NOTORI-
 ,OUS BANDIT, HANGED

WethersfieId, Conn.-Gerald Chap man, the lnillion-dollar bandit" was hanged at minutes past 12 last night for the murder of New Britain policeman. He was pronounced dead at 12:13.
 Chapman walked from his cell to the blue chalk circle on the floor of the death chamber with his full strength He looked quietly around the room. and glanced for lingering instant at the closet in which the hanging mechanism was hidden. Father Michael Barry entered the death chamber with Chapman, but did not carry crucifix.
 The State board of pardons yester- day heard Chapman plead for 30 min utes for his life, but decided that the hanging must occur. Governor Trum- bull, who presided, permitted Chap man to appear in a final prayer for leniency in his own behalf. Chapman stood erect, and in voice at first in distinct but with unwavering tones stated that he hadn't prepared any thing but that he had noted. the argu- ment that he hadn't protested his own innocence He continued:
 T don't believe l could enter any protest which would be loud enough to be heard. I don't know anything about the legal aspects of the case, but I can and do rely on the human appeal. I think all I want to say is simply that I am asking for jus tice."
 Chapman was the first victim of the Connecticut hanging machine," an affair which yanks the man to the ceiling and then gives him an addi- tional yank as he, comes down.

GROWTH OF UNITED STATES.

The Department of Commerce an nounces a revised estimate of the population of the United States made by the Bureau of the Census and based upon the available data regard ing births, deaths, immigration and emigration since 1920. This gives a total estimated population of IT, 135,897 on July l, 1926, as compared with 115, ,378,094 on July l, 1925, and 105, 710,620 son January l, 1920. The for the several States is arrived at by distributing the total increase for the United States since 1920 on the basis of the distribution of the increase between I91D and 1925, except that the State census fig ures are substituted fn all eases where State census was taken in 1925, and no estimates are made for those States which showed a decrease of population from 1910 to 1920, the figures given in such cases being the population in 1920.
 Florida, with more than 36 per

cent, is given credit for the greatest percentage of gain, with California, nearly 26 per cent, second New York, with a gain of .918,000, gets credit fo the geatest actual gain. Pennsylvania. with 1s93.G00, ccemes second. Next in order comes Cali fornia, with a gain ,df lS90,000; Ohio, with 841,0OO; Michigan, with 727, ,000, and illinois, with .717,000.
 Mississippi and Vermont are not credited with any gain, because they did not show d gain between 1910 and 1920. Mississippi's loss was account ed for by the colored migration north ward, and Vermont's by emigration to the South and West
 It is conceded by experts that the estimates might not give full credit to those States where immigration is in full swing, like Florida, for in stance, and Moth Carolina, and where it was not so pronounced between 1910 and 1920 as now.

RAILROAD USING LOCAL
 WOODS IN GREAT VARIETY
Fairbanks News-Miner.

In their program ,of using native products wherever practical, in order to keep as much money in the Terri tory as possible out of the appropria- tions allotted them, the management of the Alaska Railroad announces that native birer, hemlock, spruce and other native lumber is being used very extensively in their carpenter shops,
 It is stated that birch is used al most exclusivel yin car construction and repair work, where oak was for merly used. Native birch finishes beautifully, and is exactly suited for decorating cars and interior finishings of offices, it is announced.
 For certain work birch is irnpracti- cable, owing to the fact that large timbers are unobtainable at present. However, the carpenter shop has l2 pieces of fine native heinlock which will be used in construction of car end sills.
 The railroad is at present trying out an experiment in the use of cot tonwood ties. For this purpose they have sent several of these ties Outside for creosoting purposes, and if the pentration of creosote in the cotton wood is satisfactory it is entirely pos sible that many of this class of rail road ieswill be used in the near flu ture. If the experiment proves satis- factory, a small creosoting plant will be installed.
 Birch has been successfully ve- neered over cottonwood by the rail road shops, and is being used for panel boards and in trimming railroad cars and in many other practical ways. This veneer has a beautiful finish and is very attractive for decor ative purposes.
 General Manager Smith states that inquiries have been sent out from the railroad offices to machine manufae- turers Outside with a view to obtain ing new machinery which can be used for the general purpose of using local lumber, and further relieving them of the necessity of ordering lumber from the States.

SMITHSONIAN PARTY HOPE TO DECIDE WHERE AMER
 ICAN INDIANS CAME FROM

WashingIou.-An expedition that nay uncover traces of Americas first r0abitants will be undertaken by the smithsonian Institution this summer
 Headed by Dr. J Walter Fewkes
 hief of the bureau of ethnology, the
 institution will send mission int1 over Alaska to search for evidence of migration to America from Asia z centuries ago.
 There is no doubt in my mind , aid Fewkes, "that the first emi- grants crossed to America from Asia, ia Boring Strait. We must find the -emans of cooking utensils, broken
 pears, broken tomahawks, etc, that .hey left behind.'
 While searching for evidence of the frst settlers, Fewkes will have sev- sral other groups of scientists at 9ork seeking additional information n the American Indian and Amer can food products. At the present .ime he has an expert investigator in Santa Barbara, Cal, running down disappearing languages"
 Fewkes is particularly anxious to ind out how old the American Indian IS and when he came to this country.
 .'We must find out" he said, whether he came here by way of Australia or by way of Boring strait. However, he came here, and We have the other problem to deal with: Did ne come singly or in hordes, clans, or in some other way That leads us into the question of migration.
 There is one thing which I think is very evident, that, however he came here, he lived for a certain length of time under the environment which made him an American Indian and differentiated him from other races. A good many people contend that the American Indian was a Chinaman."
 Culture of the Indians, Fewkes said, is rapidly passing.
 We are on the eve uf the destruc- ,tion of all that was interesting, scien- tifically, outside of psychology, in the American Indian. Now we are turn ing into the investigation of the past history and the character of the abor- igines when America was discovered."
 Fewkes believes the cliff dwellers and the mound builders were the di- rect ancestors of fire Indians who were living here when the white race came. Investigators of the dnstitn- fion, Fewkes said, have discovered a

EAT AND BE HEALTHY
Dinah Days Daily Talks on Diet
The Right Food Is the Best Medicine

In cases of serious digestive upset
a doctor should be called at once.
Some heart attacks" are really cases
of indigestion. So much gas forms
in the stomach that the pressure af-
fects the heart action. Even after a
slight digestive upset the stomach
should be rested by fasting for "a
hours. A cup of hot water can be
taken every hour of the, day during
the 24-hour fast from food. Great care
must be taken In slowly returning to
normal diet.
w. E. BIS 1t really harmful to
eat cherries shortly before or just
after drinking milk or eating ice
cream? Does the combination form
an active poison or just an indigest-
fble compound? Answer-A person
of normal health can eat cherries and
drink milk at the same meal, or eat
cherry ice cream or mousse. If di-
gestive trouble occurs, 1t is because
individual digestive functioning is at
fault. Milk and acid fruit are an
allowable food combination.

CHAPTER XVII.
A Blow to Mona.

During the first few days after
Leila had scornfully refused to accept
his gift Barry plunged into dissipa-
ton. He drank more than he ever
had before. He and another man
took some girls from the Frivolities
chorus out to supper after the theater
and Barry presented his partner with
the diamond pendant he had bought
for Leila. She squealed with delight
when he clasped II about her throat
and would have thrown her arms
around his neck il he hadn't laugh
ingly drawn back. For some reason
he didn't want that kind Of thing.
And in spite of the alcohol that he
had taken and the fact that his head
was spinning, he kept thinking OF
Leila's scornful words and her manner
of refusing his gift.
For all his dissipation. he could not
seem to get her out of his thoughts.
He couldn't remember feeling this way
about any other girl that he had met.
Perhaps it was because they were all
so ready and willing to accept his at
tentions, but at any rate one morning
he woke up somewhere around noon
with disgust for himself that he had
never before experienced.
He took a cold shower and had
breakfast, and then, because he felt
wretched and had nothing In particu-
lar to do, he went to his mothers sit
ting room and knocked at the door.
Mona was still in bed and called to
him from the other room. She looked
up with a smile as he strolled in and
sat down beside her. Barry was, as
usual, perfectly groomed, but in the
clear morning light his skin looked
sallow and his eyes heavy. His mother
exclaimed when she saw him:
