Collie Arrested as
Thief Was Also Stolen

Lynbrook, L. IA trained collie
ARRESTED" in New York city for COM
plicity in a $50 theft was brought back
to the home of DR.. Maxwell Galloway
here recently, wiser and more ex-
perienced dog.
Doctor Galloway's collie had disap-
peared on July 5 last. On the same
day Leon Isaacs, nineteen, of 1913 De
Kalb avenue, Brooklyn, passing through
this village, was held on charge of
disorderly conduct. The two incidents
were at first not connected.
But the other day the doctor, who
had been looking for his trained dog
in vain, saw newspaper picture of
dog much like his that had been
taken into custody by the police of the
Elizabeth street station, Manhattan,
along with Isaacs. The tale was told
that Isaacs had stolen from Joseph
Kiss, Manhattan electrician. While
Kiss looked the other way, Isaacs, the
police said, took the money from the
till and passed it to the collie, who
then ran with it to a con federate out
side.
Doctor Galloway then went to New
York. identified the dog and took it
home.
"He was a good dog" said the doc.
tor, "and though well trained, was
not trained to steal. He learned such
things from others, but he's going to
unlearn them with me.'
The collie hung his head and wagged
his tail. &,

One-Way Traffic Plan
Is Failure in London

London.-One-way traffic may be
all right for American cities, but in
London it has been tried and found
wanting. Two committees on the traf-
fc of London, the police committee
and the streets committee have both
reported that the one-way street sys-
TEN is mot suitable" for London.
A three months trial period has just
ended, during which certain heavily
Travelled streets have carried traffic
in one direction only. After weigh
ing the results of the experiment, it
was decided that the one-way system
slowed up London traffic instead Of
increasing its speed.
The peculiar arrangement of Lon
don is blamed for the inability to ap-
ply the one-way system. Whereas
most American cities are laid out
more or less on the gridiron system,
London is maze of twisting streets,
more like a series of concentric cir
cles connected by spokes with the
Thames as diameter than anything
else. The failure of the one-way
plan leaves London. authorities up
against the question once again of
trying to find some solution for I'M
tangling the most complicated traffic
in the world.

WHERE is HOOVER
ON VOLSTEAD ACT:
Simple Questions That Can
didate Should Ansuuer.

Adding another chapter to its con-
fdential proof that the Anti-Saloon
league is backing the wrong man and
that Herbert Hoover is the one true
hope of "the open-minded wet" our
neighbor the Herald Tribune insisted
yesterday:
"Mr. Hoover's statement Tin his &C
ceptance speech) plainly left the door
open for such reforms as new def
milton Of what are intoxicating
liquors
Does Mr.. Hoover agree with the
Herald Tribune's theory that he has
left the door open to relief from pro-
hibition by modification of the Vol
stead act?
Certainly Mr.. Hoover would not
wish deliberately to mislead the Anti
Saloon league and the Methodist board
of prohibition and the other bone
dry organizations which are chanting
his praises. Mr.. Hoover himself has
said, 1T shall be true campaign.
We shall use words to convey our
meaning.
We repeat the suggestion we made
yesterday. Let the Herald Tribune, as
q stanch supporter of Mr.. Hoover, ask
him these simple questions:
"Would you as President recon-
mend to congress an amendment to
the Volstead act revising upward the
permissible alcoholic content of bev-
erages|
"Would you as President sign bill
adopted by congress revising upward
the permissible alcoholic content of
beveragesY "-New York World.

See Hoouer Logical
Successor to Coolidge

DR.. Hubert Work, chairman of the
Republican national committee and
general manager of the Hoover Curtis
campaign, reports that Herbert Hoo
yer seems to have been accepted by
Western people "as the logical sue
cessor to President Coolidge"
After the campaign leaders at Chi
cago had departed for West Branch,
Iowa, to attend the homecoming cele-
bration in honor of Mr.. Hoover, Doc
tor Work issued statement telling
of the progress Of the campaign. He
said the work is three weeks ahead Of
schedule.
1.-THE country has been exceptionally
prosperous during the Coolidge admin
istration," Doctor Works statement
said. ut seems the logical thing to
perpetuate the Coolidge policies by Sc
lecting for our next President men,
Der of his cabinet. Mr.. Hoover is in
his own right an able statesman. and
popular with the rank and file of the
people through his personal rela'
tions."

Hoouer Policies Are
Rejected BY Butler

Herbert Hoover's views on prohibit
ton and a naval program, as set forth
in his speech Of acceptance, are re-
jected by Nicholas Murray Butler
president of Columbia university and
a lifelong Republican.
In letter printed by the New York
Times Mr.. Butler breaks the silence
on politics that he has maintained
since the Kansas City convention. He
expresses confidence that millions Of
earnest Republicans are in agreement
with him.
Referring to prohibition, the letter
says:
"What l wish to make entirely plain
is that no candidate of my party for
President can commit me or countless
others like me to any such doctrines
or any such policies" In this connec-
tion Doctor Butler quotes Patrick
Henry: IF this be treason make the
most Of it."
I'm regard to Mr.. Hoover's accept
ance of the timeworn but wholly false
argument that what he describes as
adequate preparation for defense is
a factor in cooperation in the maint-
enance Of peace" Doctor Butler
writes: "The contrary is now the we'll
demonstrated fact"

PARIS IS ALARMED
FOR FASHION TRADE
Style Fixers Realize They
Must Please America.

Paris.-There must be a new meth
cd established in the creation of
French styles for the United States
and South America.
That is the opinion of M. Rene
Herbst, president Of the Society of
Modern Decorators, who is spreading
propaganda for the creation of spe-
cial establishments throughout the
world for the presentation of French
models.
He is not alone in his belief, and
the French style-fxers are ready to
contribute a fund Of several million
francs to protect their interests
abroad. They have been considerably
alarmed, they admit, during the last
few years by the tendency of Ameri-
can dressmakers, milliners, and in
terror decorators to take the French
motifs and adapt them to the par
ticular needs of their own country.
During the winter, several groups
of French business men are to visit
the principal cities of both the Amer
icas. They are to study American
methods and American needs. Wheth-
er they will be able to meet both
without running their own artistic
pride, according to one prominent
French writer, is the question that is
worrying them most.
"Rut we are losing several million
francs of commerce every year simply
because do not give exactly what the
clients want" is the argument behind
the new movement. eve are too proud
Of our own ideas, and unless we grant
some leeway to the creative genius of
other nations, Frances luxury trade
is certain to suffer seriously during
the next few years."

SEE HOOVER STRONG
WITH WOMEN VOTERS
State Organizations Actiue
Everywhere.

"There are more women in politics
this year than ever before in history.
1t might be said that they are really
in politics for the first time" declared
Mrs. Anna Steese Richardson, we'll
known New York writer and club
woman, who has been spending mucn
of her time at the Hoover-Curtis ma
tional headquarters in Washington.
Heretofore" continued Mrs. Rich
ardson, women have contented them
selves largely with local politics and
abstract discussions of welfare and
reform measures. They now find en-
bodied Iii Herbert Hoover, concrete
measures for the benefit of the whole
country, and it is surprising how many
thousands of genuinely effective work
ers have been enrolled at the Wash
ington headquarters.
"The women's division of the ma
tional headquarters, under Mrs. Alvin
T. Hert, who is also vice chairman of
the national Republican committee, Is
fully as busy as is the mems division
of the headquarters. Workers from
all parts of the country are coming
and going at all hours of the day and
every form of political activity In
which men engage is being carried on
by the women. One of the most popu-
lar campaign novelties inaugurated
has been the Hoover kitchen. A card
bearing the candidates picture Is
nlocad in tho kitchen MS constant
reminder of the wartime associations
of American housewives with Mr..
Hoover when they helped conserve
the nations resources"
State organizations also report I'M
usually heavy enrollments among
women workers. Mrs. Reginald Baker,
national committeewoman from New
Jersey, predicts an unusually heavy
Hoover Curtis vote from that state In
contrast with the general apathy
which has prevailed in previous cleo
lions. In 1920, said Mrs. Baker, wom-
en- cast only 30 per cent Of the vote In
the state and only "a per cent Of the
women eligible to vote went to the
polls.
"Women have in this Hoover-C Curtis
ticket two men who are very close to
their hearts," said Mrs Alvin 7. Hert.
In other words Herbert Hoover and
the 1923 election bring to women the
opportunity to vote as they think-for
all that is clean in government-and
good in life.

Squash Played 1000

The game apparently had been

BARRINGER METEOR
BEING EXPLORED
Long Enshrouded in Mys.
terry and Indian Fable.

Winslow, Ariz.-Mining operations
are under way to explore and deter
mine the actual content on the giant
Barrlnger meteor Of northern Arizona,
greatest known meteor on earth anu
hitherto enshrouded in mystery and
Indian fable.
The Barringer meteor, % miles from
Winslow, created crater a mile
across and approximately 1000 feet
deep when it crashed to earth thou
sands Of years ago.
1t displaced over 300,000,0OO tons OF
rock in the impact.
The crater thus created has been
the center Of scientific and geological
interest for so years, and for the last
rs years various efforts have been
made to reach the great shooting star
Itself and determine its content.
Named for GeoIogist.
The work has been carried on prin-
cipally by D. NJ. Barringer, Philadel-
phia geologist, for whom the meteor
was named.
Barringer finally located the main
body 1876 feet from the south rim of
the crater. Tests showed it to be ap-
proximately 400 feet in diameter and
to contain 80 per cent meteoric iron,
Z per cent nickel, 2 ounces platinum
and i ounces iridium per ton.
The main body is estimated to weigh
100,000,0OO tons and the metal con-
tent to be worth approximately $50
per ton.
Age-old rumors that diamonds ex-
listed in the ore were disproved by the
tests, which showed only so-called mi
cial value.
Actual mining operations just start
ed are under the direction Of Bar
ringer and Quincy A. Shaw of Boston
of the Calumet &, Hecla Mining COM
pany. The enterprise is being con-
Quoted privately.
Contracts for erecting power plant
and hoist machinery and sinking a
accompaniment shaft have been let,
and initial construction work is under
way.
Thousands of dollars have been
spent in past years in futile efforts to
locate the great star and it's esti-
mattel wealth Of $50O,000,000 of met
ais. The United States Mining, Smelt-
ing and Refining company, one of the
largest corporations of it's kind in the
United States, gave up the attempt
after spending over 100000.
Largest Ever Found.
Barringer, however, has stayed with
the problem for over % years, and
after expanding his personal fortune
finally located the great ore body with
sufficient e.actitude to bring to his aid
the funds and engineering assistance
of Eastern mining capital.
| The attempt this time will proceed
with Inore data and directness than
any of it's predecessors.
The most valuable mineral found in
the diamond drill tests is iridium
worth $275 an ounce.
The 'Barringer meteor is the largest
Of the only three Siderite meteors
Containing ore) ever found on, earth.
The other two are the Cape York me-
teor, weighing 81 tons, discovered by
Admiral Peary and now in the New
York Museum of Natural History, and
the Bacubirito meteor found near Ba-
cubirito. Mex. Neither Of the other
| two Sitlerites contained platinum or

Conditions in the Middle West are

central Illinois wheat selling at around
SLIP at the terminal and about So

South Safely Democratic

Those prophets who are predicting
that the South will not vote for a
Catholic and wet have little in his
tory to justify them. In 1880, for ex-
ample, the South cast a solid Demo-
cratic vote for Gen. Winfield S. Han
cock, despite the fact that General
Hancock was hero of the battle Of
Gettysburg on the Union side. The
South has been solid ever since, with
the exception of few border states,
regardless of the candidate. This
solidity may be deplored as anach-
ronistic, just as the solidity of the
northwestern farmer on the Republic
an side may be denounced as unin-
telligent; nevertheless, it exists. And
that's that.-St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
