HUNGRY SOLDIERS RUN RIOT ON SHIP
Starving Chinese ConHscate All
 Food and Drown Cook

Shanghai. China, Sept. (P'-Tho chooscrs went by the boards recent ly when a mob of half-starvcd Chi ncse soldiers crowded the decks Of the Kiangteh, a Yangtsze river steamer, invaded the cooks galley ate everything in sight, and then threw the cook overheard because the "choW" hadn't suited them.
 This was only one of the many similar instances that have occur red on the Yangtsze in recent months. A week seldom passes but what the disbanded and starving soldiers Of either the government or some rebel generals forces, force their way aboard a river steamer, manhandle the passengers, and de- vour all the food they can lay the;r hands on.
 The kiangteh, latest victim Of such an episode, was owned and of flcered by Chinese. It was boarded at Ranking on it's way to Hankow by 100 disbanded soldiers. They refused to pay for their passage and demanded food.
 They made a rush for the galley, gobbled up all that the cook set out in front of them, and then said the food was not good enough As balm for their wounded dignitics and damaged stomachs, they said. payment Of $500 would be just about right"

HIGH ATTITUDES
 LOWER STRENGTH
Make Tests in Loitiest City in
 Country

Leadyille, Colo. Sept (P)-The flying public may learn what alti- tude does to human bodies from a series of experiments performed here by a group of Harvard scicn- lists.
 Leadvillo is 1O,200 feet above sal level, the loftiest city in the coun- try.
 The altitdue here is found 10 re duce energy by about one-tfth. But there is nothing 10 indicate that a person who flies up 10 the two mile level has any less strength when he lands. The aXperimcn- :, show a wonderful adaptability of the body, so that it is probable a fiier reabsorbs the lost strength as fast as he. approaches earth.
 The tests are made by Dr. D. E. Dill, head of the fatigue laboratory of Harvard university, with Dr. John II. Talbot, research fellow. H. T. Edwards and s. A. ObcrE chemists, and A. Pappenheimer, jr., all of the same laboratory.
 ''Thc results of the experiments ,'' says Dr. Dill, indicate that the maximum capacity of man for con- tinued hard labor at this altitude is about four-ffths that at sca level. This would indicate that q long distance runner, for example. could maintain four-ffths of the speed that he could at sea level"
 Concentration of oxygen in the lungs here is but about half that at sea level. Nevertheless. blood saturation in the lungs is ap- proXimately 90 per cent, while at sea level it is only five per cent greater. This is one Of the expert ments which Dr. Dill says shows the wonderful adaptability of inc hu- man body. The pressure of the air here is about thirds of that at the low attitudes.
 The methods the body uses 10 adapt itself 10 lofty altitude a.e deeper breathing and changes in the properties of the blood and in kidney functions.
 The tests were made with a sta tionary bicycle, fitted with re- tarding brake drum. capable of forcing the person podaling 10 eX- ert various degrees of effort. ~5c equipment for the experiments cost s3.0OO.

ELECTING TERRITORIAL OFFICIALS

We believe that the Legislature make mistake when it provided for the election by popular vote of the Commissioner of Education, Highway Com missioner and Territorial so as to the first two offices mentioned. However, there is no doubt but that there a substantial demand for the action that was taken.
 The Commissioner of Education, the Highway Commissioner and the Treasurer ought not to be politicians They ought not to be called upon to administer their offices with their minds on the next election. The Commissioner of Education and the Highway Commissioner have many matters to consider in which decisions would cost votes in some sections if they made to conform to the great est good for the greatest number Further, both of them have opportunity to build up political chimes if they were politicians instead of men de- voting their abilities to the technical professional work they are called upon to perform And yet further, the average voter ought not to be called upon to pass judgment upon technical qualifications of candidates for technical office That is why States repeating laws that require the filling of such offices by popular vote
 The need for the selection of Territorial Treas urer in other way than by popular vote is not so important but there has been lot of unseemly political fights among different banks and others get friendly public treasurer And the Treas urers office is also one requiring technical know- edge ~ras, at m
 However members of the Legislature have con- tended that there is a general demand for the popular election of all Territorial officials that could not be overlooked. The Empire is not prepared to dispute the contention. The circumstance that the Governor is Federal well as Territorial official has been used in support of the popular election idea While there other ways to meet that point it probably well that the popular election system is to be tried out. If it works as well as those who honestly supported the proposi- ton believe it will, well and good It will then be satisfactory to everybody Otherwise in years that are to come another method might be devised

is Lloyd George, spokesman for the party in the Commons.
 While all three parties will conduct vigorous campaign until the close of the polling, the Liberal program is the most aggressive. The three heavy guns Lloyd George Sir Herbert Samuel and Lord Beauchamp will address 25O meetings during the campaign. Viscount Grey month ago outlined he Liberal Party campaign and set forth the three outstanding issues as Free Trade unemployment and Tn agreement with the United States regarding naval armaments The Liberals will have 1000 public speakers on the stump who will address lO- 100 meetings. It is proposed to circulate approXl- nately 3000OOo pieces of campaign literature. This rigorous campaign is made possible through the arge endowment for the Liberal Party raised by Lloyd George and others sometime ago.
 At this writing the indications are that the Conservative Party will probably hold the Govern nent by a greatly reduced majority and that the Liberals will make larger gains than the Laborites However there is strong possibility that no party will have a majority though it would seem almost certain that the Conservatives will lead in members Leaders of all three parties profess to be hopeful of victory.

Wisconsin's Answer.
Cincinnati Enquirer.O


 The tremendous vote recorded in Wisconsin on Tuesday in favor of repeating the State Prohibition Act may perhaps be taken suggestive of the reaction of public sentiment against developing out rage in connection with enforcement of the pro hibtion law generally throughout the country
 Whatever the reason, Wisconsin by a two-to-one vote cast off the shackles of State enforcement and by impressive vote has favored removal of pen aty for the making of home brew
 This referendum probably promptly will be obeyed by the Legislature of the State
 The example of Wisconsin points the way for other States to follow. The way to national repeal is through State repeal. Montana, New York and Nevada already have taken this path.
 It should be significant that Wisconsin ried by President Hoover, who has promised thor ough and impartial investigation of the prohibition policy and practice under the law.
 The action of the citizens of Wisconsin doubt less will be duplicated in many States realization of what the Jones law may mean is bad incl dents such as the sinking of the I'm Alone and murders at the hands of enforcement officers con- tinue to be perpetrated and the murderers excused and shielded by the Government, and as the tre- mendous cost of enforcing prohibition becomes more and more apparent

FOLD LADY" IS NIMBLE
 WHEN HARD PRESSED

LONDON, May 6.-The Bank of England is known es "the Old Lady of Threadneedle Street" but that does not mean she is blind or feeble, says w Marston Acres, for 30 years an official of the insti- tuition.
 The "old lady" was full of tricks for an emergency as far back as the early part of the eighteenth century, After the collapse of the notorious speculative enterprise. the South Sea Company, it became necessary to employ delaying tao tics until friends could rally to the banks support.
 Two devices helped to save the bank in this crisis, says Mir Acres Customs demanding payments were paid off in shilhngs and six pence Great sums, also, were paid out to friendly individuals who left the bank with the money-and return ed by the back door to pay it in again.
 MT. Acres believes that the banks popular name originated from Q cartoon entitled "the Old Lady oi Threadneedle Street" drawn by James Gillray in 1797. It depicted William Pitt, the Prime Minister trying to get the "old lady's' money.
 The cartoonist probably got his inspiration, Mir. Acres suspects from a speech in the House ol Commons by Richard Brinsley Sheridan. Sheridan referred to the bank as "an elderly lady of greai credit and long standing, who has unfortunately, got into bad com pany."
