 The commissioner declined to an- swer a question designed to bring out whether police believed Marlow was shot in the head and thrown out of an automobile in Flushing be- cause he had encroached on some one else's beer running territory in Boston. Whalen did say, however, that he had four detectives still working on the Boston angle.
 The seven persons held as mate rial witnesses remained silent today. Daniel Crosse and Nicholas McDer- mott, arrested Sunday, still faced the possibility of having homicide charges filed against them, Whalen said. Jame., Graham. IS. who was er.usted with Crosse and McDer- mott, was released.

Snake Hears Sermon;

Marshallville, Ga, July , Pl- A huge rattlesnake, more than 6 feet long and almost inches in circumference, participated in the services held at the Methodist church here Sunday by Rev. M, T. Webb. Only the pastor was aware of the presence of the fep tile.

 Realizing the panic and pam demonium that would ensue if the congregation knew of the snakes presence, the pastor con- tinued with the service. At it's conclusion, he gathered several members of his board of stewards together and with a long pole dislodged the reptile. The pole, manned by the stewards, also was used in dispatching the unwel- comed visitor.

 Only with the arrival of the men was it learned by how slim a mar gin they had been snatched from the sea, for they had used up the last of their signal rockets when the welcome lights of the Eagle finally came into view.

 The waterfront was packed with l spectators and all up the sides of the great granite rock of Gibraltar where roads are cut into the moun- tain-like terraces were lined ob- servers.

WASHINGTON OBSERVATIONS

The Mississippi flood control problem
was discussed at the White House this
week when Walter Parker of New Or
leans, president of the National Flood
Control and River Regulation Commits
sion, and Dr. F. H. Newell of Washing
ton, president Of the Research Service,
laid before Mr.. Hoover their ideas for
dealing with this question in conse-
quence OF new surveys conducted by the
Research Service. The present plan,
the so-called Jadwin plan, Is strongly
opposed. In substitution Messrs. Parker
and Newell advocate the creation of a
National Flood Commission, which
should be charged with both the formll-
lation and the execution of flood control
work. Mr.. Hoover was told that it
would require probably Is years and at
least billion dollars to do the job.
New York's latest telephone exchange
is "Wickersham" and is located in what
is said to be the wettest spot in all
Manhattan Island. So, regardless of
the final outcome of the Hoover Law
Enforcement Commission, the name of
its able chairman will be on the tongues
of countless thousands OF his country
men for many years TO come. Now if
the telephone company will only chris
ten "Volstead" exchange honors will
be even.

A Friendly Invitation.

The invitation extended by Halyard
Bachke, Norwegian Minister to Wash
ington, in a recent address delivered in
the Middle West, to visit Norway on the
occasion Of the 900th anniversary Of
the death Of King Olav Haraldsson,
which takes place next year, was nat
urally enough primarily addressed to
those Americans in whose veins flows
Norwegian blood. But the Minister ad-
equately expanded his remarks to the
point where any citizen of this Nation
may consider himself invited, and it Is
in view Of this fact that natural in
terest in Norway as a destination for
next years trip abroad has been gen.
orally stimulated.
The sheeplike tendencies Of a vast
proportion of American tourists who
flock in hordes to the deservedly pop
ular resorts of Europe have left to an
independent and exploratively inclined
minority the discovery OF the more re-
mote, yet no less lovely and interesting.
corners Of the continent. For this
smaller group the delight of travel off
the wide and beaten highways where
one sees almost more Americans than
natives is satisfaction superimposed
upon the broader culture their 'pio-
neering" yields. For them Norway, the
land of ancient heroes of saga and his
tory, of ford and midnight sun, of rug
ged hills guarding the greenest and
most peaceful of valleys. Of skis and
salmon rods and little sturdy coastwise
boats, is one of the treasures discovered
upon their wanderings.
1t was undoubtedly with view to in
creasing the numbers of those who
have found the delights of travel in
Norway that the Minister from Oslo
spoke in st. Paul. Those who accept
his invitation and make the pilgrimage
to the shrine Of King Olav in the lovely
cathedral at Trondhjem will be grateful
for the hospitality he has extended on
behalf Of the nation he represents.

Belle of Ancient Era
Used Mirror, Lipstick
BY E. E. FREE, PHI. d.

Relics of an ancient Iron Age belle
who loved her mirror and lipstick SO
much that some sympathetic friend
buried them with her have been dis
covered on Lambay Island, off the coast
Of Ireland, near Dublin. First brought
to light by accident in the course Of
harbor improvement work, the Iron Age
graves were then investigated by rep
resentatives of the Dublin Museum,
where the articles found have been
stored. In one grave was found fiat
plate OF iron resembling a pot cover.
This cover seemed, however, to have
once had an ornamental handle made
of iron-decorated ivory; certainly a
curious construction for q pot lid even
now, and still more so in early times
when iron was almost q precious metal.
What lay directly underneath the iron
plate provided, however, truer clue
to its use, for this object proved to be a
stick of pink, waXy cosmetic, still recog-
niZable after a burial of IS centuries or
more. Nearby were other feminine
treasures: a pair Of metal brooches, a
finger ring followed out of stone and a
bracelet Of bronze. The iron hand mir
ror no longer shows a polish and prob
ably it never possessed one good enough
for the former belle to see to use her
lipstick. In ancient times, before mod
ern glass and metal mirrors were In
vented. the approved method of seeing
ones own face was to take fiat plate
of stone or metal. preferably ground
very smooth. dip this in water and adj

Expert Advice Urged
In Caring for Pets

To the Editor OF The Star:
The intense suffering Of a little
"Spitz' puppy and its death after two
days OF agony. despite all that a vet
erinarian could do to relieve its suffer-
ing, has prompted me to request some
space in your paper in the interest of
those animals that are the faithful
friends OF man.
This little dog, Phoebe by name,
showed evidence Of worms in the light
of experienced puppy owners in the
neighborhood. Accordingly, the owner
went to the drug store and purchased
worm capsules, stating explicitly that
they were intended for a Spitz puppy.

that the pharmacist dispensed the COW
rect drugs. One Of these tablets was
administered in the morning and the
incident was closed until the same
evening when an intestinal cramp de-
veloped, the siege lasting until the
little animal expired. suffering the most
uncomfortable agony. An autopsy Show
ed that an overdose OF this worm
medicine was responsible for its
agonized death. Instead of giving
puppy worm capsules, the pharmacist
gave the dose for the larger breeds.
Since the puppy cannot be brought
back to life, believe that If the own
eTS of these pets, upon reading these
lines, will make it their business not
to rely on neighborhood advice. nor
on certain Inscriptions drug dispensers
who have the sale of the article at
heart and not the outcome. but to
consult with a reliable veterinarian
who will not dispense these patent
medicines, much heartache will be saw
ed. and their innocent little pets will
be saved from such tragic ending.

heads Of the hapless nnksmen. Some
golfers cannot even putt If bird twit-
tiers in a tree nearby. The consterna-
ton caused by an airplane Swimming
close to the ground can therefore easily
be imagined. It was not long before
some of the playful flyers were forced
by engine trouble to land on the course
and the wrath of the members rose as
they came down.
The holding of the plane for damages
was the second attempt of the club to
secure redress. 1t was at first proposed
to erect q barrier of one-hundred-foot
towers on the border of the flying field,
but this plan was dropped when it was
found that 1t would constitute a real
menace to the average pilot in the
take-off. Club members are reported
busy at work thinking up other schemes
in case their seizure Of stranded ships
Is declared illegal.
There is much to be said for
golfers and for householders in the
vicinity of flying fields. Certain youth
full spirits imagine that as soon as they
take the stick Of plane they are mon
archs of all they survey and that mere
earth-bound humans are as 80 much

altitude slowly. Both golfers and house,

Foresees Homes Built
In Factories, Like Autos
From the Albany Evening News.

From the Albany Evening News.
Edward A. Filene Of Boston in. a re-
cent Saddress predicted homes for
Americans produced much after the
manner of manufacturing automobiles.
He predicted that the time is coming
when houses will be manufactured by
machinery in central factories, all Of
standard sizes and shapes. He thinks
there may be chain companies that will
turn out these houses or stamp" them
out.
We cannot believe his vision is wholly
true. OF course, houses now are made
in sections and large companies pro-
duce them. But they have different
plans, and individuality can be exercised
in their choice. But It is not conceive
able that America will ever take UP the
pattern" house plan, that 1t will buy
standardized houses. all Of the same
pattern. as it buys automobiles now.
Will the time come when man shall
be known by the name of the manu-
facturer of his house as he is known to-
day by the brand Of automobile he
buys? Hardly that. At least 1t is to be
hoped that this never can come to pass.
America does not Want rows and rows
Of houses that are al alike. It does
not even want these even in some sec
tionS of its cities. The monotonous
sameness would be depressing and, more
than that, it would be utterly dis
pleasing.
America can become too much
standardized. It is now standardized
enough. It should have individuality
in some respects and particularly in its
homes. True, large concerns might en-
ploy the best Of architects and they
might with variations produce attractive
homes. Perhaps that is Mr. Filene's
idea. But We do not want any rubber
stamp home building in America.
