AFRICAN COPPER
NO j. 5. MENACE
Says DOUGLAS

BISBEE. July 2 R1.-African copper
production does not constitute mem
ace to American production at the
present time, according to Walter
Douglas, president of the Phelps Dodge
corporation, who is spending two weeks
in Arizona, New Mexico and Sonora,
Mexico, inspecting properties OF the
corporation Douglas is also a director
and a member of the executive board OF
the Southern Pacific company.
The Phelps Dodge president returned
last month from a trip to Africa, where
he visited the copper country ot the
Belgian Congo and the British conces-
sionS in Rhodesia. The country is only
in the prospect state, he said, and there
was not definite knowledge OF whether
it was actually a feasible mining pro-
ject ready for the installation OF expen-
sive plans such as center around the
copper districts in the United States.
Speaking of the copper liarket,
Douglas said that it could hardly be
worse and that no signs pointed to its
immediate betterment. The domestic
production has suffered serious let
down, according to the Phelps Dodge
president and while export business is
better than last year, it does not COM
pensate for the loss in domestic busi-
ness.
Asked as to the remedy for present
low prices and slack demand Douglas
said that retrenchment and lessening
of production was the only remc,,y for
present copper conditions.

CAMP HARRY ]. JONES, NAMED FOR
SOLDIER WHO Died FOR COUNTRY,
is GREAT ASSET OF DOUGLAS
One Battalion Of Twenty fifth Infantry, Consisting Of
Colored Troops, Regularly Stationed At Camp;
Regiment Holds High HonOrs On Target Range and
in Athletic Field and is Considered One of Most
Efficient Organizations in Army

They are here because the army ap-
preparations and regulations call Tor
so many men in the standing army and
these men must be stationed at some
place where they would be ready for
action in case of an emergency.
It is worth while to visit Camp
Jones. People at this camp live diff
ferent life from anything known to
civilians. They eat, sleep and are at
work to the call of bugle. Their
work is strange and different TO any
thing the civilian knows. Their work
is important as the last war atteSted
Training Of men so that they can
fight efficiently is a serious business
and the instructors are specialists in
their line. They go to school for years
before they are commissioned TO these
positions and then almost every year
they are sent to more schools to learn
more things about the business OF war
fare.
The troops at Camp Jones are drill
ing and studying every day of the
week and these drills may be witnessed
by the civilian who cares to drive to
the camp. There is a parade now and
then and the ceremonies of retreat
and guard mount every day, which
! in themselves are the most inspiring
and beautiful military functions imag-
Unable.

BYRLJS LANDING
PLACE IS ROUGH
and ROCKY REEF

WASHINGTON, July 2 tPJ.-Byrd's
landing place was far from good
one, being dotted with rocks and reefs
a short distance from the shore. with
a rough beach, composed Of mixture
of pebbles and sand, the National Geo
graphic society said Friday, IN a de-
scriptive bulletin of that secticn OF
the French coast.
Z The aviator might well have para
phrased another famous greeting when
he landed and said: "ChamplalII, we
are here" The society said because
it was from Honfluer on this coast
that Champlain in 1907 set out Tor
his famous voyage to North America.
"Ver- -Sur-Mer is tiny village on
the Norman coast 80 miles due west
of Beauville and about the same dis
tance southwest of Havre," said the
bulletin.
"The department of Normandy in
which Yer lies is known as CalvadoS,
Spanish name which seemingly i'll
fits its French surroundings. The name
is said to have originated BY the wreck
ing of one of the ships of the Spanish
Armada. The terrible calvados rocks

toll of shipping lie some seven miles
off shore to the west Of Yer.
"Ver is really a small village mile
inland from the coast. The place OF
landing is known as Place de Yer
Sur -Mer, which means "The Bench OF
Yer by the Sea"
"Curiously, after flying over France
in the fog and storms, Byrd finally
landed along the same coast where he
had planned to enter the country on
his flight toward Paris.
For along it also lies Trouvilie, the
lighthouse of which was the French
mainland landmark which Byrd had
picked. Lindbergh also entered France
at Trouville.
"Ver-Sur-NGer lies among a long
trail of resorts along this section re-
sorts where many other Americans
than the fliers have headed each sum-
mer. These resorts include the fa-
nous Deauville. One may touch all
of them in an afternoons drive. Most
visitors to Deauville, however, would
push no further eastward than Houl-
gate, in the vicinity Of which the ia
nous walk, called "The Desert" leads
through a. valley of Les Vaches NoireS,
famed for it's picturesque scenery"

Steenbock graduated few years
ago from Wisconsin and remained to
teach and to experiment. Working in
the laboratory with hay, lamps, rats
and goats, he found that the prop

direct ratio to the amount of sun
light it absorbed. He learned how to
preserve irradiated foods and feed
them to rats to cure rickets.
Commercial firms offered him
wealth for his discovery, but he turned
it over to a group of Wisconsin
alumni to administer for the good OF
the world. Like Babcock, ne lives in

MORE HAND WORK
PREDICTED FOR FALL

PARIS-Rumors that hand embroid-
cry is to be feature of fall and win
ter style collections are current in
Paris.
The high cost of materials, which
has driven up prices of Paris models
and consequently increased incentive to
pirate them, is said to be behind the
dressmakers' desire to produce dresses
which cannot be successfully initiated.
Style creators are said to be anxious
to produce designs which only Paris
can execute. AT certain of the large
houses hand embroidery undoubtedly
has a growing Importance, and seems
TO be taking the place of strass.

CIRCULAR CAPES
PARIS VOGUE

PARASITIC circular cape which
measures several yards around the
bottom is the newest form of evening
wrap for Partisan summer events.
At fashionable restaurants in the
Bois one sees many of these capes,
made of chiffon velvet in shade to
match the gown. Peach, pale green,
blue and gray are often combined with
fluffy fox collars of matching color,
or beige. The outstanding fox collar is
favorite on light summer wraps.
Coats, light both in weight and color,
are often finished with a fox collar.

PARIS-Paris' devotion to the cock
tail party is resulting in special type
of dress which designers call the cock
tail frock.
It is a cross between an afternoon
dress and a dinner dress and designed
to do the duties of both. Some women
wear two-piece dresses, which by the
removal of a long sleeved blouse be-
come one-piece dinner dresses. These
are the cocktail frockS.

MADISON, Wis. up = Two college
professors who might have been mil
lionaires live modestly near the Uni
versity of Wisconsin campus, working
daily in their laboratories, making or
dinary salaries meet their needs.
One is Stephen Moulton Babcock
The dairy industry of the United
States is centered about his discovery
Of the test by which the butterfat
content of cream is determined.
The other is Harry Steenbocl, au-
thor of the process of irridiating
foods for the assimilation of calcium

Babcock, at "a, is professor en-
eritus of agricultural Chemistry al
Wisconsin. Years ago he began eX,
perimenting with acids in milk anc
whirling test tubes, finally evolving
operations that within the next few
weeks the work can be started.
The whole idea back of the purchase
of the GadSden was that if it we've re-
built, the rooms remodeled, more rooms
added, better plumbing installed, more
baths provided and the entire estab'
lishment renovated it would prove al
excellent investment. 1t is brought ou
by the purchasers that they would no
have considered the hotel at all if the!
would not have been able to completed!
refit it at once.
They promise that when the hotel il
completely equipped along the line
they expect to follow it will be ali en-
tirely different sort of place to what i
is at present.

Wind.

Prof. Henry j. Cox, weather fore
caster at Chicago, believes that the
short, sharp winds which visit that
metropolis, and which have given it
the sobriquet~ of THE Windy City,
are responsible for the energy of its
inhabitants.
The frequent light or moderate
wind. or the short-lived gale, is de-
clared to be beneficial to human be-
ings.
While Washington may set up no
claim to such winds as distinguish
Chicago, the comparative nearness or
this city to the ocean and it's for
tunate situation on good river give
the National Capital an atmosphere
all it's own.
1t is an interesting, though little re-
garded, fact that the weather in the
District of Columbia is often near
counterpart, although about three
days behind, of the weather prevailing
in Illinois. Indiana and Ohio.
Those living here who regularly eX-
change letters with relatives in the
Middle West know that by the time
word of a big storm reaches here,
practically the same sort of weather
will be prevailing in Washington.
Despite the jokes concerning the not
weather in Washington during the
Summer, this city is usually fortunate
in being visited by one of these
breezes Prof. Cox speaks about. in
time to break the backb one of the
severest heat wave.
Seldom does a hot spell in Wash
ington last longer than a week or two.
Then comes a thunderstorm, accom-
panied by one of those energy-giving
winds, to cool the atmosphere, and
make a whole city glad il is alive.

ditions in the District are radically
different. District motorists, bearing
now a two.million aggregate tax, are
conceded to be making an adequate
contribution as motorists to the Dis
trict's tax revenue. But if four cents
a gallon tax must be paid by the
Maryland seller Of gasoline and only
two cents by the seller in the Dis
trict, some Maryland sellers of gaso-
line near the District line will lose
some profits on sales, since certain of
their former customers will buy
cheaper gasoline in the District.
If Congress adds two cents to the
District gas tax without eliminating
the personal tax on automobiles, 1t
Will be enacting tax legislation not to
meet the needs of the District or to
distribute the tax burden more equit-
ably among the different classes of
District taxpayers, but primarily to
boost artificially the profits of some
Maryland sellers of gasoline.
VIII Congress be guilty of this in
justice? VIII not Maryland be
ashamed to ask it? viii District
motorists and taxpayers complacently
suffer themselves to be twice-buncoed?

Old men and young men, elderly

Each one of these workers has a

In the wonder of the crowds one is
likely to forget such simple facts.
Each unknown Is known to some
