Glastonbury. England, about 1925,
writes Sails N. Coleman In his book,
Bells" Connected with this clock
were automatic figures which struck
bell on the hours. These perform
Ing figures pleased the public, and
many of the town clocks. Of Europe
were provided with SUCH figures to
ring the bells on the hours. They
were used for proclaiming time long
before the introduction of clock
dials. Detroit News.

Fashion Ia ut the bottom of it, says Peter
Duffs, fox farm owner of Pontiac
Mich.
Modern guns. improved traps and
high prices for furs have about exter-
minated the valuable species of fur
bearing animals which have been pur-
sued to their farthest retreats in the
North" he explained. Most of ouI
valuable pelts now come from farms
where the animals are bred and raised
in captivity.
The first known attempt to obtain
skins In this manner was in the sum-
mer OF 1870. Ben Haywood of Tignish
P. e. T., Canada, purchased black fox
pup and mated it with one secured al
North Cape in the same province.
This pioneer of the fur-farm bust
ness succeeded In raising two pups the
first year. He sold the skins for SIS and
500 respectively. He did not know they
were worth 81 900 each in London.
Little progress was made until five
years later. Then a man named Dalton
formed partnership with o trapper
named Sutton and built q ranch on
Savage Island. Their equipment was
similar to that used today, including the
wire pens. They killed each years
progeny and sent the furs to London
where they received fabulous prices

Washington, Sept. 26 P)-Prob- able the last scenes in a drama of nprecedented proportions in Am crican history will be staged in the trial of Albert B. Fall on the charge of accepting bribe while secretary of interior.
 Aged and ill, the man who at the height of his strength and power seven years ago leased valuable naval oil reserves in Wyoming and California to the separate Sinclair and Doheny corporations, is sched- ulcd to come here october to de- fend the acts that have resulted in numerous criminal and civil suits.
 Specifically, he is 10 deny that the s10o,o09, brought to him "in a little black satchcl' by the son of Edward L. Dohcny, hribcd him to lease the Elk Hills. Cal, oil re- serves 10 his old friend and fellow proGp Actor."
 If Fall is found guilty it will be the first conviction in five long years of prosecution in the oil scandal cases Harry r. Sinclair went to jail. but his concurrent six months sentences were for contompt Of the senate in refusing to answer questions and for jury shadowing. All of the trials for conspiracy and fraud have resulted in either ac- quittal or mistrial.
 Through civil suits all property involved has been returned to the government. In addition, it has possession of valuable eau pment set up by the Sinclair and DohcnS operations. Royalties were paiG on all oil taken from the reserves and Leo A. Rover, federal district attorney who will assist Altee Po- merene and Owen J.

 Prosecution of bribery charges against Fall and aEainst Doheny is virtually all that remains to be done before the docket is cleared ot the maelstrom that almost wrcc'.cd an administration and aroused the wrath of a nation.

 ta!nS Air Of Mystery

Washington, Sept. 26.-Because not-too- prominent man named Will jam B. Shearer filed a lawsuit against three shipbuilding compan- ies. the United States Senate is now holding an investigation, several gold braided admirals are prepar- ing to put their dignity on the vii ness stand, and some very rich and prominent business men are in Washington to answer questions.
 Since Mir. Shearer's lawsuit ere atcd so much a stir the question of the day is
 Just who is this William B Shcarer, anyway?
 Every Washington newspaper correspondent can tell you. So. also, can any congressman who has ever served on a naval affairs com mittce.
 Now Accuses Shipbrilders
 Shearer is a lobbyist, and a skill cd one. He has been familiar fig ure in Washington for years. He has been lobbying for a bigger na- ": and he says now that he was actually doing this while in the pay of the shipbuilders, whereas he had always said before that he was do- ing it from pure patriotism. That has stirred mp all of the excitement
 Yet-if you do not wish to q hic h Cnn 1,i q propa gandist Patriot is the word he prefers; patriot, and expert.
 A short time ago. just before he had admitted doing his utmost Q val limitations conference at Ge- neva in 1927-at which time, as he now says, he was in the pay of three American shipbuilding firms -Shcarer waxed highly indignant when it was charged that he was q propagandist.
 It was simply coincidence, he said. that his employment by the shipbuilders happened to fit in so beautifully with his own patriotic i d''7Ii t to otf ItliltIl lCd nave I HuSE navy. Just coincidence, and noth- ing more.
 Was Active At Geneva
 Shearcr played a big part at Ge- neva. Many people who were thert. say that he actually had q good deal to do with the ultimate failure of that conference.
 He attended as an unofficial ob- server" attended all of the sessions, set himself up in stylish apart , ment, and devoted himself to culti- vating the American newspapcr correspondents. who were there to | describe the proceedings And he 1 is said to have been a good cnter- | taincr.
 Shcarer always had news for them, He had a wealth of figures He seemed to know everything there was to know in the way ot statistics about the American an1 i British naVies. His figures were accurate, too; on occasion, even tn, British correspondents went to hin for data. He was supplied witt many facts by L. S naval officers on the scene. and he spent his days and his nights in the effort to tcm. onstrate to the American public that England was trying to ham string the American navy
