THIN GLASS OPERATES
TO CLEAN WINDSHIELD
Motorists Home Made Device
Noted at Evansville

Noted at Evansville
By United Press
EVANSVILLE, Ind, Feb. ga
Michigan motorist who visited
Evansville recently carried his own
remedy for cleaning the windshield
of his car.
Anyone can apply the accessory in
q short time and decrease chances
of accidents caused by a frosty
windshield.
All one needs Is a piece of glass
thinner than the windshield which
is stuck on the inside Of the shield
with adhesive tape.
A strip of tape is first put over the
edges Of the piece of glass so the
two are not in direct contact. A
second set OF strips hold the thin
glass in place and also close cracks.
The space between insuIates the
area covered and in this manner
prevents sleet and snow from stick
ing to the outer glass.
Doors and windows may also be
treated in this manner, insuring
clear vision in all directions. 1t is
advisable to use small squares OF
thin glass.

VXTASHINGTON, Feb. 23.-Like
w the poets raven, foreign STU
dents Of the international oil Situa-
ton perch above our door, watching
the United States as it drains its oil
reserves and at the same time begins
to try to conserve its supply and
invade foreign fields for future re-
sources.
Most of these persons believe that
our petroleum supply will soon be so
inadequate that foreign oil interests.
will be able to extort high prices
from us for their oil and gasoline
and that the American Navy, be-
cause American oil supplies are so
concentrated, never will be able to
launch an attack outside American
waters.
England Controls Market
Most frequently quoted of all are
the utterances of Sir Mackay Edgar,
the British banker.
"The time is in sight when the
United States, will be nearing the
end of some of the available stocks
of raw materials on which her in
dustrial supremacy has been largely
built.
America must soon depend OH
British companies for oil. Americans
already are diligently securing the
world for new oil fields-only to find
almost wherever they turn, that the
control of all the most promising
properties is in British hands.
with the exception of Mexico
and, to a lesser extent, Central
America.
u. S. Will Have to Buy Oil
1--WE hold in our hands the secure
control of the future of the worlds
oil supply. To the tune Of many
millions of pounds year. America
soon will have to purchase from
British companies"
Edgar exaggerated. Standard Oil
is in better position today than
when he spoke. But several govern
ment officials have found food for
thought in what he wrote. 1.-THE
case, as he presents it, finds support
to an alarming extent" said David
White. former chief geologist of the
Geological Survey.
Anton Mohr, author and lecturer
on political geography at OlSo Uni
versity, is a Norwegian and hence
regarded as neutral.
He declares that practically every
thing Edgar said was true.

Is

For q Years
BY JACOB SIMON
nted Press Special Corresponds

KONNO, Lithuania, Aug. IL
One of the most unusual and re
voting crimes in the annals of Ii.
thuania has just been uuearthed
near the little town of 1elschi.
In 1906, Josas Lukaschius lived
in Telschi with his feeble minded
brother. Jonas; the former owned
small farm, which he decided to
sell He found suitable purchaser
in Jonas Stragauskas, who agreed
to take over the feeble minded
brother together with the farm and
to care properly for the afflicted
man.
But stragauskas placed the
stricken Jonas in chains, weighing
l5 Kilograms, and fastened the
chains to his cellar wall.
For 22 years, the mentally-defi-
cient Jonas was obliged to wear
away his life in this cellar, with
no pastime other than counting the
links ON his crushing chain. During
these two decades, the prisoner saw
no sunshine and breathed only the
damp, musty air of the cellar.
a little girl of the neighborhood
happened to find the imprisoned
man and told her parents of her
discovery. The police were notified
and Jonas was rescued.
Jonas body was covered with old
sears and fresh wounds, but he was
too enfeebled, physically as well as
mentally, to move from the spot.
The pitiable prisoner, who had
survived this agony for twenty
Years, knew nothing OF the world
war, although heavy fighting had
occurred between 1914 and 1918 in
the vicinity of his Inflated prison.
Jonas was at once taken to I
hospital,
Stragauska was arrested and
brought to trial. No witnesses
could be found to testify against
him and, thanks to the Lithuanian
legal code, this left no course open
to the court except to sentence
Stragauskas to two weeks imprison
ment and a fine of $500.

WINSLOW, Ariz., Aug. 11.-Min-
ing operations are under way to ex-
plorc and determine the actual con
tent on the giant Barringcr meteor
of northern Arizona. greatest known
meteor on earth and hitherto en-
shrouded 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
thousands of years ago. 1t dis
placed over 300 million tons of rock
in the impact.
The crater thus created has been
the center of scientific and geologi-
cal interest for so years, and for
the past 25 years various efforts
have been made to reach the great
shooting star itself and determine
its content.
The work has been carried on
principally by D. NJ. Barringer,
Philadelphia 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 approximately 400 feet in dia-
meter, and to contain 90 per cent
meteoric iron, I per cent nickel,
y ounces platinum and L ounce
iridium per ton.
Metal Worth $50 Ton
The main body is estimated to
weigh 100000 tons, and the
metal content to be worth approx.
matelv $50 per ton.
Age-old rumors that diamonds ex.
listed in the ore were disproved by
the tests. which showed only So
called microscopic diamond points
of no commercial value.
Actual mining operations just
started are under the direction of
Barringer and Quincy A. Shaw of

Mining company. The enterprise
is being conducted privately.
Contracts for erecting power

Probably no other sound, coming

the fire siren. Husbands in the fat
