Coast Artillery Skeletonized.
Coast Artillery garrisons at most forts
are now on q skeletonized basis. Re-
auctions have been made in this arm
of the service, and only few thousand

was q time when the Coast Artillery
was considered as immobile, but that
day Is past. The Coast Artillery, with
other duties, mans the Coast Artillery
point to point, wherever there is danger
of air attack There might be one or
two coast defense forts that could be
closed down, but here, as elsewhere, the
closing down of a military post or

SEA SCOUTS BATTLE
RAM TO GIVE SHOW
Boys Demonstrate They Aren't
Fair Weather" Sailors at
World Jamboree.
b. the Associated Press.

ARROWE PARK, England, August g.
With all the rainy weather of the
first week of the Boy Scouts world
jamboree, it was appropriate for Sea
Scouts to feature todays program.
But even the Sea Scouts were almost
rained out. Their desert island
erected in the center of the lake on
moored boats was almost scuttled, their
private ship" almost sank to Davy
Jones locker and their merchant
ship" lost its masts in the high wind
Nevertheless, the Sea Scouts carried
out a pageant in which they demon
Strated they were not dry land sailors
Chief Scout Baden-Powell compli-
mented them on the fact that every
thing about their performances today
proved the Sea Scouts are not merely
fine weather birds.
The Prince of Wales address de-
delivered to the $4,000 scouts yester-
day afternoon already has been trans
lated into 40 languages.
One of the problems now engaging
the attention of all scouts in the big
camp is the title the chief scout will
take as a peer. 1t is understood this
will be either Lord Baden-Powell of
Mafeking or Lord Baden-Powell of
Brownsea Island, where the first Boy
Scout rally was held.

Jewelry Center Shifts to U. s.

The United States now Is said to be
the leading jewelry center Of the world.
It is estimated that about 80 per cent
of the worlds diamond output is con-
sumed in this country. Nearly all of
the finer grades of pearls gathered
from the Persian Gulf come to America,
while the pick of the emerald output
from Central America is marketed here.
American capital is largely concerned
in the diamond and gold mining indus
tries of South Africa. The famous
emerald mines of the Ural Mountains,
in Russia, the richest in the world. are
now being worked by an American
Arm. and the rich pearl fisheries Of the
Ceylon coast also are under American
direction.

Michael Vercelli Questions Legality
of Invasion Which Resulted in
Seizure of Evidence.

Michael Vercelli, proprietor Of q res
taurant in the 1900 block Of Chic
avenue, was visited yesterday afternoon
by a trio of policemen in civilian
clothes, who placed him under arrest
on charge of Illegal possession OF
liquor. The policemen, A. D. Mansfield,
A. L. LeFoe and H. G. Wannamaker,
say they found several gallons OF in
toxicants in Vercelli's place.
While awaiting transportation to the
police station Vercelli questioned the
legality of the arrest, claiming that
the police were without warrant to
enter his establishment.
I'VE broke down no doors to get In, -
Mansfield said. I'VE found the doors
wide open and everything in plain
view"
Bond for the appearance of vercelli
in court was given.
The police also arrested Ignazie
Olivetti. 80 years old, said to be en-
ployed in Vercelli's restaurant. He was

Ancient Cello Displaced.

The ancient cello which has done
service through the ages is threatened
with displacement by an electrical de-
vice which Is both stringless and bow
less. 1t Is to be introduced among the
instruments of one of the leading or
chestras of the country when it opens
the season next Autumn. The new in
srrllment bears no resemblance what
ever to the cello. It consists of long,
slender shape, more like section of q
4-inch plank than anything else 1t
has a handle about midway, by which
the device is held and the flow of cur
rent controlled. The variation of tone
is accomplished by the hand of the
operator moving over the magnetized
surface. The electrical vibrations thus
generated are passed through a loud
speaker. 1t produces an entirely new
tone of long range and will be used to
supplement the double bass.

Washington, July P)-Broad possibilities Of usefulness in new fields of postwar economic life are foresecn for the bank for interna- tional settlements by Thomas w. La mont, member of the experts rep arations committee which worked out the plan for the institution.
 Political influences will be eX- cluded from it's operation, he says in the current issue of World Trade, journal of the International Cham Der of Commerce, and it will be gov crned strictly according to business principles.
 Describing it as natural and necessary evolution from the facts of the rcparation settlement" ne predicts that the bank may, in natural course, develop into an or ganization not merely nor even pre- dominantly concerned with the handling of separations, but larg alY if not primarily with the furnishing of important facilities hitherto lack ing to international commerce and finance.

{, ed the Harmon medal by the Har- mon Foundation Of New York for outstanding public service.
 l There's considerable interest be- 1 ing manifested throughout the nation in the police school as some thing novel. But to Vollmer, the new course is but continuation upon an amplified scale, of the work he has been doing for years with his local police department in conjunction with the University of California, situated here. Vollmer will get six months leave of ab- sence yearly from his police duties here so he can teach at Chicago.
 Will Teach Criminology
 ''The course will be a branch of the university's department of po- litical science" Vollmer explains. The course will be open to police executives, to certain qualified police officers. It is being put upon solid foundation, to prepare young men for police service; to put this vitaly
  tern upon the same scientific basis as medicine and the other profess sions."
 Doesn't sound like the average small city police chief talking And Nollmer's method of thinking and action is of a different caliber too, than the average policeman. He insists that Sherlock Homes, gim- let peep-holes and the like have nothing whatsoever to do with the new era making police work a profession.
 When our police work here n Berkeley began to attack youths who were eager to study crlmlnol ogy and willing to work hard, *a directed their courses at University of California while they were doing police duty after study hours. The hard grind of patrol work taught these college boys practical as well as theoretical knowledge. And in the end, they had not only the | policeman's art, but his science. Experts 10 Alu
 l At the University of Chicago they should be aided to an even greater degree, because of the wide ly recognized men represented i'll their sociologists, statisticians' biologists, physicists, statisticians, psychratists, law experts, etc., to present to the students the very latest in these sciences. It will he one of my big jobs at Chicago to organize these groups and ascertain how many departments in the un'- versity have something to offer these police students.
 Nollmer's ideas won cooperation from University of California in- structors in a day when crime pre- vention received scant attention. Faculty and police chief have pio- neered here. Resuults have been manifold. The Berkeley super cops or scientific police,' have become so widely known for their intelligence and efficiency that the ordinary run of criminals gives this community a wide berth.
 Cooperation and understanding between Berkeley citizens and Ser kelley police has reached an ideal stage. Youngsters look to the police as their friends. Adults have oVer- come the tendency to shirk respon- sibility and now help the police.
