NORTHERN LIGHTS
CRIPPLE TELEGRAPH
Two Hour Suspension of Service
Caused by Phenomenon Dur

NEW YORK, October 12.-AurOra
borealis. or northern lights" went on
IL rampage today and crippled thou
sands of miles of telegraph wires in
the United States and Canada for
more than two hours. This natural
phenomenon, the bane of telegraph
companies, heavily charges wires with
excess electricity, making them inop
eratiVe.
Between 6 and s am. today the
vast leased wire system of the Asso-
ciated Press was affected as far west
as Kansas City. Commercial wires
also were hit.
When the sun appeared the trouble
was ameliorated to a great extent and
a majority of the wires operated nor
mally.
The influence of the aurora bOrealis
here this morning was negligible, ac.
and radio companies. The Radio Cor.
poration of America, operators of sta.

SEASONAL FARM
LABOR DEMAND
GREAT AS EVER
Increased Use of Machinery
Has Not Hit Harvest
Hand Army.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 9.-Despite
increased labor saving harvesting
machinery, bumper crops are fur
nishing employment for the usual
army of seasonal laborers.
about 100000 laborers will have
been employed in the various wheat
and cotton sections before the sea-
SON is over, and that is practically
the same as were employed last
year." Richard Jones, acting direc-
tor of the United States Employ
ment Service, said today.
Coolidge Approves
Some $4,000 Of these workers are
now descending on South Dakota
to assist in harvesting millions of
acres of wheat.
President Coolidge, who has been
able to get f1rst-hand picture of
the manner in which the workers
are handled by the Government
officials, has wired Secretary of La
Dor Davis commencing the service.
Next week the activities will shift
to North Dakota, where estimates
show wheat crop so per cent
greater than last year must be har-
vested.
100000 Bushels
More than $4,000 seasonal labor
ers will be required to help farmers
of North Dakota get in the crop,
which is expected to be in excess
of 100000 bushels.
At the same time another small
army of men will be required to
help out in Minnesota, while about
Aug 10 thousands of men will be
required in Montana, where the
Department of Agriculture esti-
mates the wheat crop will be 80
per cent greater than last year.

TWO new FORD
MODELS APPEAR
Mystery Deepened by Fast
Test Runs From Plant.

! BIZ United Press
DETROIT, Mich, Aug. 9.-Tht
mystery resulting from the secrecy
with which Henry Ford has sur
rounded the plans for his new cal
was doubled today by appearance
of two different kinds of test models
on the roads around his expert
mental laboratories.
One OF the models was equipped
with drums which obviously con-
tanned four wheel brakes.
On the other model drums at
tached to the front wheels were so
small that it was doubtful whether
they contained brakes.
On one of the cars the heavy ma
chinery under body and or the rear
axle indicated that the car was
equipped with a gear shift instead
of a clutch shift. There was moth
ing about the other car, however, to
prompt that conclusion.
Both models had wire wheels.
They were painted dark green and
slate gray They appeared to be
capable of greater speed than the
present models, for they whizzed by
observers at fast clip.
Ford is putting all his great plants
here in shape to begin producing
new cars with the ore from his own
mines, the timber from his own for
estS, the cloth from his own looms
and the sand from his own silica
beds. in the breif space of hours
when he is ready.

ENOUGH WHISKY
in WAREHOUSES;
FOR MEDICINE
Survey Convinces U. S. OFF,
Gals of No Need to Per-
NIT DistiIIing.
BY JOSEPH S. WASNEY
United Press Staff CORRESPONDENT

WASHINGTON, Aug. 9-The
supply of medicinal liquor in the
United States is adequate for legiti-
mate requirements for several years,
Assistant Secretary of the Treasury
LoWman announced today.
Legislation designed by Gen. L. G.
Andrews, retired "dry czar," to set
up semi official corporation to re-
plenish Americas medicinal spirits
supply will not be pressed at the
next Congress and distilling under
Government permit will not be re-
sumed for several years, Lowman
declared.
No Emergency Exists
His decision was made after DR..
}. M. Doran, Federal prohibition
Commissioner, had investigated
whisky stocks in warehouses. Do
rams report disclosed sufficient pre-
Volstead liquor in bond to meet the
Nations requirements indefinitely.
mo emergency exists and no ac-
ton will be taken on the applica-
ton of number of whisky produc-
LIS for licenses to resume distill-
g." Lownan stated.
Prohibition officials estimate
about 100000 gallons are in bond,
or five to ten year supply, depend
ing on the demand. Until recently
about 1,588,900 gallons of medicinal
liquor has been withdrawn annually,
but strict supervision has cut down
this amount considerably, it was
stated.
Situation Surveyed
Bureau of Internal Revenue sta
tistics show 100000 gallons of
whisky included in the 100000
gallons of distilled spirits in bond
but these figures do not allow for
leakage, evaporation and illegal
Withdrawals.
Andrews, supported by Secretary
of the Treasury Mellon, = declared
an emergency existed because of the
rapidly diminishing supplies of me-
dicinal spirits. He advocated re-
sumption of Disabling this fall.
Dry organizations protested vigor
ously and brought considerable pres
sure on the treasury for adverse
action on the distilling permit appli-
cations. Lowman, on taking office
Aug. l, ordered a survey of the
entire situation.
