MUSICAL SAWS
ON INCREASE
BY International News Service


INDIANAPOLIS Ind, Jan. o.
That haunting strain from a saw
you hear in vaudeville or perhaps
next door probable emanated orr
ginally from Indianapolis.
For officials of e. c. Atkins
and Company, Indianapolis manu-
facturers, admitted that they have
thrown 100000 musical saws upon
an already "saxaphoned" world dur
ing the past year.
The fact that a steel saw could
produce strains that might be
roughly characterized as music was
first revealed by a man In Arkan-
sas about eight years ago, COM
pany officials said. Since that
time the craze for saw playing has
spread through vaudeville to the
amateurs of America and now Is
making inroads in foreign coun-
tries.
Many dozens of the melodious
wood cutters are being shipped to
England. the Atkins official said.
However. there are indications
that the saw vogue will not en-
dure through the ages, according
to the company officers. who said
that they believed that the craze
has reached its peak.

|SANDINO'S REVOLT COSTING MILLIONS
Report Shows It to Be Worst in
 Hundred Years

Managua, Nicaragua, May : LP- Forming the current revolution the worst in 100 years, the annual re- port of Colonel Clifford D. Ham. collector general of customs, esti- mates its cost at more than S2o,00o,- 900 and between 1.500 and ",000 in Nicaraguan lives. The loss of life is considered a high proportion for a small country and it would amount to more than 350,000 If applied to the United States on the same ratio.
 The monetary cost is declared to be a big sum for Nicaragua to divert from public Improvements and the country can not even pay one-half of the claims filed with the claims commission. These are more than 10000 900 and they cover property destroyed or communicated by both governmental and revolutionary forces. The claims are for damages up to March 31. 1928 and do not in- clude any damages done lately by rebels in the La Luz and Pis Pis mining regions. The largest single claim is close to s1.o00.O00 and was filed by Charles Buffers, American owner af the San Albino gold mine. which was destroyed by forces of tie the rebel general. Augustine Sandino.
 Other expenditures were: More than So,000,000 diverted from gov ernment revenues intended for other s1SOo0O used for military expenditures instead of paying salar- les due to teachers, $321 .000 due the of the United States ton, s254,oO0 for voluntary and forced loans to the government from citizens, S95,000 due to New Orleans banks for loans. sS4.0O0 due to for eigners for loans.
 The arrival of American marines early in 1927 saved Nicaragua from general destruction, through the burning and sacking of cities, and from anarchy, the report says. The arrival of Americans resulted in the forces laying down their arms and caused continuance of good business and commercial con- ditions during the past year.

 Timothy A. smiddy. minister of the Irish Free State declared the willingness of the flicrs to lose their lives "in order to save the greater life of the spirit so honored by the people of America should bring home to the honored guests the full consciousness of their noble heritage and make all realize that the real aspirations of humanity are above race and creed and that ultimately what is best for humanity is best for every nation"

LEAGUE WATCHES
 LIQUOR SITUATION
May Attempt to Control Worlds
 Supply

Geneva, May 2 CUP)-'Dry" platforms in the presidential cam paign platforms of the American political parties may determine whether the league of nations tries to undertake control of the world liquor traffic. 1t was indicated today.
 If blanks in both republican and democratic platforms are strongly in favor of continued prohibition, it IS expected that advocates of the world-control plan will obtain the support of other nations.
 It will be necessary for the Sep tember assembly of the league to take a preliminary vote on the pro posal. whereas the American presi- dential election does not occur un- til November. Therefore the blanks not the election of wet" or 'dry' candidate, will be the guiding factors.
 Appoint Commission
 The specific proposal before the league now is that a commission of experts should be appointed 10 study what aspects of alcoholism come within the competence of the league and whether such aspects might be made the subject of scientific and practical work by the league.
 Under the World war treaties, the league already is charged with the supervision Of the liquor traffic in all of the mandated territories while other aspects of the problem have been dealt with by the inter- national labor bureau.
 The proposal to be voted on in September was submitted by Fin- land, Poland and Sweden. American prohibition interests are known to have backed it heavily. It is aimed frankly at eventual world control of alcoholic drinks by the league,
 smuggling Rampant
 It Is contcndcd that prohibition laws in various countries are being defeated by international smuggling. The violation of international trca- lie. relative 10 the traffic is argued as reason why the league should take 1t over.
 Before any move can be made toward world control fl is necessary for the league 10 know whether it can count in tho future on the cordial support Of the Tnitnl States 10 bring the traffic under league con- trol.
 If either republican or democratic "dry" plank should be weak. it Is certain that lcasne leaders will be reluctant to permit themselves to he dragged into thie n4w field of hu- Tnantarian activity.
