VIRGIN ISLES IS THE
HOME OF OLD BAY rum

. ST. THOMAS, Virgin Islands, Feb.
24.P)-With the coming Of the
tourist season in the West Indies,
when sleek passengers ships slip in
to port, stay a few hours for buying
of souvenirs, and then depart, bust
ness men are busy preparing their
wares. Virtually every tourist who
visits St. Thomas takes home few
bottles of bay rum-Some believe
it a beverage, some know that it is
lotion-but few know where or
how it is made.
Much Of the bay oil used in man
ufacture Of bay rum comes from the
leaves of the trees Of st. John, a few
miles east of this island. Some of
the oil is distilled there and sent to
st. Thomas.

HANDLES ROUTINE
REGARDLESS Of
THREATS Of RIOTS
AMERICAN CONSULAR OFFICIAL
IN CHINA HAS HANDS FULL
ALL THE TIME

WASHINGTON, Feb. "a. up
Consider the American consular Of
fetal in China who, surrounded by
rioting Chinese as he is trying to
arrange for safety Of American WOm-
en- and children, is called upon for a
quick report on the stock, for in
stance, of toothpicks on hand.
In this same situation the consul
lar also is trying to avoid calling in
nearby American bluejackets itching
to get into the fuss; trying to re-
member that the noise and uproar
of the anti-foreign mobs might turn
to violence and bloodshed if the
jackets were summoned 1t proba-
bly, is disturbing, under such cir
cumstances, to receive request
from the commerce department for
an immediate report on the available
supply Of tabacco, or toothpicks or
ships or tacks or sealing wax.
Yet that is substantially what
Frank Pruit Lockharat, American
Consul General at Hankow, exper-
fenced during the recent excitement
incident to mob violence in the Brit
ish concession, where most Ameri-
cans and their families live. He
assembled the women and children
in the old Russian concession. where
the consulate is situated, kept in
touch with the rapid developments,
the river, reported by wire three
arranged to send the refugees down
times a day to Minister MacMurray
at Picking, and cabled statistical re-
ports on the tobacco market in the
Hankow area
Lockhart hales from Pittsburg,

with his many duties despite the
loss of one arm when young chap.

FOLLIES

truth of our statement that Mr.. Sig
man does not own a farm, but that
he is the owner of the Casino Amuse-
ment Park. Mr.. Sigman, in the same
issue, offers to sell to the Commu-
nists the Casino Amusement Park for
$4,000, provided that the Communists
assume and pay all the outstanding
obligations.
To that there is just one answer,
and that is that the Communists are
not interested, and do not want to
buy~an amusement park, with such
wonderful attractions as shooting
gallery, billiard room, bowling al
ley, carousels, loop-the-loop, and othGe
such highly ethical attractions.
Furthermore, in closing, let us ask
Mr.. Sigman one question. Mr.. Sig
man made his first purchase in 1920,
and his investment at that time was
$4,000, less mortgage of $4,000, or
net investment of $4,000; now, in
1927, he is willing to sell his equity
for $4,000; apparently, he must, have
suffered reverses during the past
seven years. Now, if that is the case,
how is it possible to add and keep on
adding improvements without increas-
ing the amount of the mortgage?
Again, | must ask of Mr.. Sigman.
where is the money coming from?
