railway throughout the state, only relatively short stretches of track up and down the coast from the port. This situation emphasizes the inn portance in the affairs of the state. of the city of Vera Cruz the sea gateway, and the city of Orizaba. 50 miles inland on the road to Mexico City. The holding of these two cities will mean control of the state.
 "'1n recent years the port of Vera Cruz has slipped somewhat from its former dominant position among Mexican ports. while Tampico. 230 miles to the north, has grown rapid Tampico at the expense of Vera Cruz has been due chiefly to two factors; the development Of petro- leum supplies Tn the vicinity of Tam pico, and labor and employment restrictions in Vera Cruz that have discouraged importers and export CTS. Since a railway has been in existence from Tampico on to the plateau at San Luis Potosi. an ever increasing stream Of goods from overseas has flowed to Mexico City over this route. This geogra phic and economic situation is of great im- portance to the federal government at this time With Vera Cruz and Monterrey in the hands of the revo- lutionists. the San Luis Potosi-Tam- plco route will give the City of Mexico its only avenue of inter- course with the United States"

FLAME MAGNETIzES
 IRON, HOLDS MAN
New Type of Electro Magnet
 Most Powerful Yet Conceived

New York, March Is R - The story Of an inventors thrill at the sight of a dream coming true be- fore his eyes was told with demon- strations at the science dinner here last night of the American In- stitute and the Museums of the Peaceful Arts.
 At the dinner mans weight was suspended by the magnetism produced from "a small Bunsen burner flame. The subject was hung from a hook in an iron plate little bigger than butter dish, that was held fast by magnetism to chunk of iron above it about the size of a teacup. This lump of iron was transformed into power ful electro magnet by the heat of the small flame acting on single turn of copper rod.
 The inventor Dr. Paul F. klop- steg of the development labor atory Central Scientific company, Chicago. some time ago set out to veryify a belief that he could produce a powerful force in this type of heat magnet. which had been laboratory toy for many

.z0GU WOULD STOP
 MURDER0US FEUDS
Albanian King Would Copy Mus.
 solni's Sicilian Campaign

Washington, D. C.. March 15 - Premier Mussolini's success in ex- terminating the vendetta from Sicily and Sardinia has inspired King Zogu to crack the whip over AL bania in similar effort to suppress blood feuds.
 It took Mussolini four years to round up the leaders of the Mafia, an association committed to re- dressing grievances by the knife and pistol and to purge the country of the Mafias tyranny. Whether King Zogu will succeed in a similar dar- ing reform is considered doubtful, because the practice of blood feuds in this remote and unlettered coun- try is founded upon the tradition of a thousand years. In Albania single case of homicide often leads to a series of similar crimes or to protraCted warfare between neigh boring families and communities. The murderer. as a rule, knowing that his life is in danger. takes refuge in the mountains or remains for years secluded in the house.
 Mountain tribes in central AL bania. instead O. bringing their diff feronces before the courts of law. seek satisfaction by violence. Many Albanians perish by the sword. be- cause the vendetta system decrees that blood must be washed with blood. No offense is ever forgiven by the Albanian.
 Sometimes a truce (besa) is ar ranged by mediation. It is the muf- ti or the local village mayor, who brings the two adversaries together. The truce is of temporary character. as nothing but blood can repair an outrage. to an Albanian's honor. The truce is observed loyalty by both parties. but when it expires the feud is resumed with renewed vigor; un- til redress has been obtained by the knife.

T0NKAWA INDIANS
 ARE UNIQUE GROUP
Dying Tribe Unrelated to Other
 Families of Americans

Blackwell. Okla. March 15 R- Linguists have set out to record the language of that unusual tribe of American Indians, the Tonkawas.
 This unit among the 2,000 tribes and 54 linguistic stocks found west of the Mississippi for years has baffled students of Indian lore. Now, with only 42 survivors in the TonkaWa clan, the American Asso- citation for the Advancement of Sci ence is trying to trace the tribes history.
 Never were the Tonkawas relat- ed in language or customs. so far as is known. to neighboring h. dians whom the white man found when he came into Texas. They were known as more primitive people. The Spaniards called them cannibals.
 The remaining Tonkawas, now living on a reservation near here. know little of their forefathers. Most of the tribe were killed when their Indian enemies banded to- gether and slew nearly 600 in 9

 klopsteg worked on the idea that shape and position of the mag netic and electrical circuits held the secret. When he hit upon the successful design. he did not at first realize that he had found the answer. He began hanging weights upon the small armature.
 When at IS pounds they showed no sign of pulling the magnet apart, he took them off and ap- piled his own strength. His pull lifted his own weight. 190 pounds, clear of the floor. and he knew that he had solved the riddle. He attached a standard machine, built to test the breaking point of electro magnets, and watched its indicator creep up past 400 pounds before the armature parted from the magnet.
