' CLEVELAND, Ohio. Dec. 31-- Prospectors who use a sweet ap- pie, twig. witch hazel and doodle bug in exploring deep ground for minerals and oils, soon may have to discard the method for an elec- trical apparatus. if they wish to be up to date.
 Scientists attending the meeting saof the Geological Society of Amer Sca. learned from T. M. Frederick. geologist exploring the copper country in Michigan, that cleo tricity is an efficient indicator in the location of ores.

COOLIDGE TO HONOR L|NDY
 IN ANA
President WiR Bestow Con- gressional Emblem on
 Flier Tn Cuba

WASHINGTON, Dec. 31-Pre ,i- dent Coolidge probably will pre- sent to Col. Charles A. Lindbergh the congressional medal of honor in the presence of all the dele gates to the sixth Pan American conference at the opening session in Havana Cuba, on January l6. This is the highest award in the gift of the government al Wash ington. It was recently awarded to "America's most attractive citi- zen" by exclamation of both houses of the congress.
 Escort of Ships
 President Coolidge will sail from Key West for Havana aboard the U. s. s. Texas, flagship of the United States. on January 15. He will be accompanied by the American delegation to the con ference and with the Texas will sail an appropriate escort of ships.
 Colonel Lindberg will "sail' from Progreso. Yucatan, aboard his ''flagship," the Spirit of St. Louis. in time to join the Presi- lent at the opening session of the conference. The presentation O he medal of honor--if tentative nlans are finally adopted-will fo' low the address inaugurating thu whiehsw he. deliver d by the president of Cuba. Thr decoration of the American am of good will to the re- nn6lics of the South will thus suit presidential action to the presi- dential word of good will, which will be the burden of the presi- dential message on that occasion.
 Guests of President
 Both President Coolidge and Colonel Lindbergh will be the guests of the president of Cuba while in Havana. The Cuban gov ernment, in appreciation of the coloneIs acceptance of it's invi tation and in recognition of his flights 1t is understood, to award him one of the highest decorations that Cuba be- slows on distinguished visitors. Among the Latin-American am and ministers accredit-
 
 ed to Washington, most of whom will attend the Havana confer ence, tremendous enthusiasm has been aroused by the assurance that Colonel Lindbergh is to meet | them in Havana. At that time a | determined effort will be made | to induce the colonel to make a l trip to some of the countries of i, South America later in 1928.

WORKING GIRLS CLOTHING COSTS
 AROUSE ENGLAND TO DISCUSSION

LONDON, Dec. 31--The modern working girl spends too much money on clothing. said Judge John D. Crawford in the Edmon- ton county court, thereby raising q storm of protest among women throughout the country.
 The judge declared that silk stockings were not necessary.
 Miss Ellen Wilkinson, fiery So. cialist member of Parliament. says they are necessary, or "al- most" nowadays at least.
 The judge characterized as "scandalous" the fact, as brought out in court case. that a work ing girl making but s30 a week should wear gloves costing $1.25 pair, shoes at s5. hat at s3.50 and coat which cost $26.

Four Big Ariation Problems Solued By
 Scientists in 1927

BALTIMORE, Dec. 31-Air- planes have been made safer. cheaper and easier to control at low speeds, than was passibles at the beginning of inc year.
 Coincident with these advances in the scientific phases Of avia- lion, outlined by Dr. Joseph s. Ames, Provost of Johns Hopkins University and Chairman of the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics, has come a distinct ly beneficial surge of public con fidence in the art of flying.
 That is development of the last year which Dr. Ames views as most interesting. The public has been persuaded by the achievements of aviation to recog- nize it's commercial possibilities. Today, the United States has more privately owned airplanes than any other nation. They are no longer viewed as mere vehicles of hazardous. expensive sport. bu. as valuable means of quick trans portation for business and profes- sional men and of swift delivery for needed articles.
 In the scientific field. Dr. Ames finds four distinct advances which nave grown out of the patient work of research. It has been made possible to increase the strength of airplane structures, the problem of control at low speed has been go per cent solv- ed" more reliable motors have been evolved, and one of the ma ior questions of balance has been answered with a change in the shape of wings.
 The engineer has been ready to make sound airplane struc- ture if he could find out just where the greatest stresses woull be encountered during flight. The scientists job was to tell him how ihe loads were distributed in the form of air pressure at different points. by completing that task this year, he has made it possible for the manufactures to work more efficiently. at a lower cost, and produce planes which are safer. One rarely hears, now. of plane breaking apart in tine air and. Dr. Ames observes. thee is no longer any reason for such accidents"
 !. Control of planes at low speed, q difficulty encountered most ire quently when they are taking-off or alighting, has been a baffling

Strange Request Is Made by Salvation Army

LOS ANGELES, Cal, Dec. 31-- In case William Edward flick, man is convicted of murder anl executed for Kidnapping and slay. ing Marian Parker. one of hif ears is wanted for use by Da, las. Texas, boy. who lost an ear in an automobile accident.

,OOD PREDICTION MADE BY MELLON
BUSINESS IS SOUND AND FUTURE BRIGHT.
 SAYS SEC. OF TREAS.
By ANDREW w. MELLON Secretary of Treasury

WASHINGTON. Dec. 31--Dur- ing the last year the country has given unmistakable evidence of the fact that the underlying con ditions are sound.
 While there has been some re- cession in business activity from the high levels of last year, the country has proceeded along nor mal lines.
 Great progress has been made in the face of several adverse cir. cumstances.
 Notwithstanding this fact. com. modity prices continued to fall throughout the year. A large volume of business was done which, in itself is an unusual cir. cumstance and showed ability of business to introduce economies n production and exercise neee= sary caution hy avoiding an aa. cumuiation of excessive inseA9 tories.
 It is this adaptibility on the part of American business which is one of the greatest causes for confidence in the future.
 Throughout the year. employ ment was steady, wages maintain ed high level and living costs were lowered. Due to the de- commodity prices and pur- chasing price, farm products en- chanced as measured in terms of non-agricultural products.

Police Trying to Connect Young Hunt with
 Parker Case

LOS ANGELES, Cal, Dec. 31- While Police continued efforts -o prove that Welby Hunt. young partner of William F. Hickman, kidnapper and slayer of Marian Parker. carried his partnership as far as complicity in the Parker case, reports from eastern points tended to tumble more than ever confusing angles of the case.
 A confession in Detroit. of James Ellsworth. aged 23. decla~- ing that Hickman and Hunt were involved in a series of crimes that included the killing by Els worth of an aged man near Cot tonwood Falls, Kansas, is dis credited by officers. They saii Hunt was in Los Angeles last summer at the time the killing took place in Kansas.
 Deputies are searching for two men reported to have overheard Hickman and Hunt in conference two days before Marian Park4f was kidnapped.

should cost so much" remarked the judge. but this Is only ;n- dicatiye of the moral outlook and tendencies of the modern girl.
 T cannot see my way clear to ask the father, who is a labor CT, to be responsible for his daughters clothes.'
 Miss Wilkinson was only one of many who took contrary view to the judges remarks.
 Judge Crawford's attitude ex- plains a great deal of the modern labor unrest" said Miss Wilkin- son. "The demand of the work- ing girl is for a decent standard of dress. This standard is ex- cessive to her low earnings 1t is the desire of the modern girl to appear as nicely as possible. It is part of her self-respect and has nothing whatever to do with her moral outlook"

problem for many years, but within the last month or two. several schemes have been tried out which have proved more or less effective Dr. Ames regards the Handley Page automatic slot invented in England, as the best thus far developed Attached to the forward edges of the wjrgs, this device opens automatically when the speed of the plane drops to the danger point and provides the air pressure needed for ma neuvering.
 The development of more re- liable motors is an obvious ad- vance. Without them. the trans oceanic flights which thrilled the public this year might not have been so successful. and popular confidence in aviation might hay } been retarded
 An equally important, though less romantic achievement has been the solution of the problem of wing balance. Heretofore, the center of pressure against the wings has shifted forward CT backward with each change in the angle at which they are driven forward. To overcome the unbal- ancing effect of that shift, it has been necessary to provide large tail surfaces, but now wing has been developed which is so shaped that the center of pressure rs- mains at the same point.
