LONDON, December 9.-The Daily
Mail today related the climax of what
it purpcfts to be dramatic events which
have occurred during the past fortnight
in the Soviet embassy at London.
1t said that q. J.. Sokolnikov, Soviet
Ambassador here, had been tried by a
special commission sent from Moscow

who had been sent to return him to the
Russian capital. Sentence has not been
promulgated yet. but the Ambassador,
often accused of Right Wing tendencies,
is said to have recanted and to have
sent Joseph Stain, secretary general of
the Communist party, an apology and
assurance Of future cooperation.
The Mail quotes the Ambassadors ex-
PLANTATION that the detention Of the en-
'yoyS was by mistake, there having been
discrepancies IN their papers. The Am-
bassador claimed further that he could
not obey an. Ogpu order unless 1t came

MONTREAL, Quebec, December g.
The position Of Eastern Canadian
lumbermen was pictured yesterday as
being as ~dificult'' as that of the grain
growers 0 the West by Arthur II.
Campbell In his annual report as
president Of the Montreal Lumber
Association. He said Russian competi-

For number Of years, Campbell said,
the province of Quebec, Nova Scotia
and New Brunswick have exported 80
per cent Of their Canadian spruce. This
year shipments were negligible, import
ers receiving lumber supplies from Rus
sta at exceedingly low prices. This re-
suited IN having large supplies of
manufactured spruce and other soft
wood lumber piled up IN mill yards

Cleanliness Policy of
Shank Warehouse Head
Housekeeping Ideas Carried
Out in Operation of
Popular Firm.

Since its foundation more than
thirty-flve years ago by former
Mayor Lew Shank, the Shank stor-
age business has become an insti-
tuition to a great many people of
this city.
Conducted now on the same lines
that made it successful in her huS-
bands lifetime, Mrs. Shank main
tains its popularity, and with it
operates truck line using twenty
vans for moving goods anywhere.
There are several features about
the Shank f1reproof warehouse, 1870
North Illinois street, that are diff
ferent. One is the extreme clean
illness, in which Mrs. Shank carries
out her former housekeeping ideas.
The place is cleaned thoroughly
once each week.
Like most good housewives, Mrs.
Shank maintains an incessant war
fare against moths. 1t is, as she
has expressed herself, no disgrace
for a storage warehouse to get
moths. They may come in with the
next receipt of goods. But, Mrs.
Shank says, it is a disgrace to keep
them.
So the place is fumigated every
week to make life miserable for the
pests, and with all the thoroughness
of a good housekeeper the moths
are run down and exterminated.
AS a special protection there is
vault provided for draperies, furs
and similar articles. 1t is as near
moth-proof as possible. Also it prac-
tically is burglar proof, even hav-
ing a tear gas arrangement ready
for the unlucky thief who might
get the door open. Safety deposit
boxes are provided for the storage
Of especially valuable things. SpeA
cial storage rooms, Kept at the right
degree of heat and humidity, are
Provided for pianos.
The woman who has goods to
store will appreciate all these pre-
cautions, for with them goes the
knowledge that her goods will not
be lost or damaged while in stor-
age.

PRACTICE GIVEN
IN LAW SCHOOL
Courts of City Serve as
College CIaSSroomS.

For thirty-SiX years the Indiana
law school, located at 143 East Ohio
street, has been preparing students
for the practice of their profession.
This school, with faculty of
fourteen prominent attorneys of this
city, and under the leadership of
James A. Rohbach, dean, has en-
ioyed a high enrolment the last two
years, more than $50 students hav-
ing been instructed, compared to
about 100 a year for several years
previously.
The school is unique in that it
makes its training very practical by
resorting to the courts of the city
for demonstrations of the actual
practice of law.
Following the system of instruc-
ton advocated by the association of
American law schools, and with a
library equipped fully for needs of
the school, it makes a regular prac-
tice of holding all its classes in the
mornings. giving students the OPP
portunity to work either at means
of livelihood or in the study of
actual proceedings in the afternoon.
The school runs from the third
Wednesday in September to the
Wednesday following June 3 each
year. The tuition fee is fixed at
$3.50 a year, payable in three install
ments. Thus it affords the oppor-
tunity for young men of limited
means to secure thoroughly prac-
teal education in the principles and
practice of law, which opportunity
has been taken advantage of by
hundreds of attorneys since the
schools opening thirty-six years
ago.

CLEANING AUTO
RADIATOR CUTS
REPAIR COSTS
Poor Circulation of Water
Results in Frequent
Garage Bills.

More and more motorists are
approaching that the economical
and successful use of a motor car
is dependent largely on the radiator,
says Vern Reed Of Reed-Mueller,
Inc, 111-119 Kentucky avenue.
This company specializes in auto
radiator work. Located as it is,
within a block of the heart Of the
city, is has a drive-in service by
which car may be left in the morn
ing, the necessary work done upon
it, and the car driven from the shop
in the evening. There is space for
forty-fiye cars in the shop at one
time.
"Overheating really is the begin
ming Of all motor troubles of seri-
Gus nature, and proper functioning
of the cooling system prevents many
motor ills" says Reed.
Efficiency Decreased
Examination of the radiators
taken from large number of pleas
ure cars and trucks, which have had
enough service to need repairing,
establishes that these radiators only
are from 40 per cent to 60 per cent
efficient, as compared to those on
new car.
This efficiency is decreased by
the accumulation of grease, scale
and particles of rubber from the
hose used in the cooling system. d.
Grease inside of radiator grows
and picks up the sediment and bits
of rubber, and in time will close
the tubes and waterways entirely.
Further, if this sediment is permit
ted to remain, it will deteriorate the
zinc to such extent that in time the
radiator becomes porous and is.
worthless.
Boiling Harms Metal
cit practically is impossible to re-
pair a radiator in such a condition,
as the grease will hold small leaks
that will not show up under an air
pressure test. The radiator may be
removed from the car, repaired to
Withstand the air test, and yet when
replaced will leak as the vibration
jars loose the scale.
Therefore the radiator always
should be cleaned properly before it
is repaired. We can not approve
the practice of boiling a radiator in
a strong chemical solution, as this
in most instances proves detrimen-
tai to the metal. We therefore have
developed the R. & M. system,
which, with the r. & M. solution,
will clean the radiator without boil
ing.
"It also cleans the entire cooling
system of the car, including the mo-
tor block and pump, without re-
moving the radiator from the car.
This R. & M. system is a guaran-
teed cure for overheating cars"

FIRE LOSS CUT
BY SPR|NKLERS
Automatic Device SmotherS
Flames at Start.

Fires in the United States reduce
to ashes about $500,000,000 of disable
property each year. That. however,
is only a part Of the loss, for the rea-
son that insurance rates must be
enough to cover and maintain the
insurance companies, business must
suffer from the loss of time, and
workers must suffer from unemploy-
ment.
While these latter figures must be
estimated, it probably is true that
fire costs every man, woman and
child in the United States about
$72 each in a year.
Most Of this loss is preventable.
Two effective ways exist. One is
better construction of buildings and
better handling of stocks. The other
is better fire fighting and more pre-
vention. With the former time
probably will work out vast i'm
provement. With the latter, the
use of the automatic sprinkler APP
pears to be the most effective way
OF preventing big fires by quenching
little ones.
The automatic sprinkler is de-
vice that goes into operation when
the heat in room exceeds normal.
That action consists of spraying a
stream of water and sounding an
alarm. When sprinklers are so
placed as to cover the area of
room. the fire often is extinguished
before the aid summoned by the
alarm arrives.
Such system saves property and
often life The Indianapolis Auto
matte Sprinkler Company, 7O2 East
Market street, is a local firm that
installs, extends and repairs these
systems. 1t has placed this protec-
ton in many Indiana businesses,
and it will be pleased to talk the
matter over of making any place as
near f1reproof as human ingenuity
is able to make it.

Specialized Service Station
Offers Public Speedy,
Efficient Work.

Recent investigation has shown
that fully one-half of the auto
mobiles in use today are giving un-
satisfactory service because of mis-
alignment of wheels or axles, or
both.
The average driver does not re-
alize the Importance of maintaining
proper alignment, which prevents
steering troubles and costly tire
scufhng.
Regardless of how carefully a
manufacturer may build car, or
how efficient and accurate the
alignment job may be, few weeks
driving may have disarranged the
intricate balance which must be
maintained if the owner is to have
comfortable and economical service
from his car.
Accident Is Possible
A car that steers hard is danger
Gus. Wheels must incline inward at
bottom and front, and the front axle
must tilt backward. These easily
are thrown out of line by bump
hardly noticed at the time, by sag
ging springs, or by applying the
brakes suddenly. Balloon tires and
front wheel brakes twist the axle,
upsetting both the tilt of the axle
and alignment of the wheels, max
ing the car hard to steer.
Weaving, wandering, hard steer
ing and shimmying may cause a
car to go into a ditch any minute,
may cause a regrettable accident.
When axles are out of line the
wheels are dragged sideways along
the road, grinding away the life of
tires.
Work Done Quickly
Examination Of tires frequently
reveals them pitted, gouged on the

should examine their tires fire.
quently because improper alignment
costs more in wear of tires than
the service the Bear Scientific
Wheel Aligning Station offers.
This firm, located at 928 East
Washington street, is equipped with
the Bear axle press, which will
straighten bent or twisted axles cold,
giving a perfect job. 1t is not
necessary to tie up car two days
while the axle is taken out, be-
cause the firm can turn out the en-
tire job in few hours.
The station now is equipped with
the famous Bear precision tools that
measure accurately to the sixteenth
of an inch, according to William D.
Furlow, service manager
Service Guaranteed
1.-THE Bear station restores cars
to their original factory condition,
so they handle and steer like new,
guaranteeing perfect job or no
charge" he said.
In order to acquaint the public
with this specialized service, the
station is making a worthwhile
special offer, giving cars regular
$3.50 thorough checkup free the first

trouble.
Furlow is a mechanic with fifteen
years experience in diagnosing au-

efficiently. A visit to the Bear Sci

save motorists many dollars and fu-
ture trouble.

the southwest end of the Via Bibera- >tica; from the Quirinal straight south ward, and from the Via Flamina, turning around the Temple of Trajan five roads leading from the heart of the city to the central bazaar.
 Another public building, with large out shops, probably added to the mar ket by the Emperor Hadrian, has been discovered by excavating ground at the back. It was probably commercial court"
 An equally interesting discovery in the heart of Rome, as a result of the excavations, was a corner where the Forum once stood. The archaeologists located what they believe is the very spot where Julius Caesar was killed by Brutus and his co-conspirators.
 Another important find is beauti- full loggia, portion of the House of the Knights of Rhodes. It stands among the imperial buildings in prox- imity to the Traian Market It " as in this house that the knights and nobles. in high standing with the Emperor, gathered and took part in gay events.
 Near Naples, the ancient city Of Herculaneum probably presents more extravagant and wonderful sight. Dur ing the terrible eruption of Vesuvjus in 63, lava swept over the entire city until 1t was completely buried. EX- cavatlon work has been carried on for many years but Mussolini inspired q larger scale of restoration activities.
 When excavators had achieved much, they were greeted by strange sight. The city remained-broken and in ruins, perhaps-but with many of its we'll laid out streets intact, some of its buildings, covered with mosaic, still standing. Even old gardens, where flowers bloomed in Nero's day, were in good condition. Private homes were pierced and revealed marble fountains and courtyards, walls of marble. and finely wrought balconies.
 On the other hand some buildings have been found beyond repair. One theater was completely buried by lava, .pumce, ashes and the fall of rocks.
 The eruption and torrent that de scended upon Herculaneum prevented escape for most of its citizens. Some authorities differ as to the cause of the disaster that overwhelmed the old city. It is denied by many that after the first outbreak of Vesuvius a tor rent of lava was elected over the city. Michael Ruggiero, who at tempted excavations more than twen-
New Britain herald., 1930-03-24

ty-tlve years ago, gave this version:
 Ut is certain that the districts be- twen the south and west, and those be- tween the south and east, were over whelmed in two quite different ways. From Tore Annunziata to San Gio- vanni, for a distance of about nine miles, there flowed a muddy eruption which in Herculaneum and the neigh ing places raised the level of the coun- try more than sixty-five feet
 'The matter transported consisted of soil of various kinds-sand, ashes, fragments of lava and whitish pumice enclosing grains of lime. In the Her culaneum already excavated the cor riders in the upper portions of thea Ire are completely filled up to the head of the arches"
 Excavations as far back as 1927 in Herculaneum revealed some treasures in the city. The monochromes of Her. culaneum remain among the finest specimens of the taste and skill dis played by the ancient artists.
 The excavations in and under the Church of St. Sebastian, on the Ap- plan Way, a mile and half Outside the gate of Rome, also are proving of interest to archaeologists. Early Chris tan inscriptions of historical impor- lance, marble and terra cotta vessels and ornaments, as well as pagan burial urns and Christian sarcophagi, have been unearthed in large numbers. Most of these arc being assembled in museum in the church.
 Excavation first was undertaken in 1910. It was suspended during the war, but was resumed immediately after the armistice. The digging has gone ahead rapidly, and now the entire foundation of the church Is open, honeycombed with passages, stairways and chambers.
 The church, formerly known as the Church of the Apostles, became one of the so-called "seven churches of Rome" Buildings found under the church 20 back as far as the first century, and include number of excellently deco rated columns. On one level is Christian funeral hall. In another sec ton, but still under the church, are two Roman houses, one of the second century and another of the third, which have been unearthed. They are two stories in height, and it is believed they faced a road long covered over.
 But the most interesting thing is that all of these ancient treasures now find their center in. the very heart of modern Rome itself. B

city, the fourth century Church of St. Sebastian is being dug from the ruins, under the supervision of pontifical archaeological commission. This may throw q new light eventually on the theory that the bones of St. Peter and St. Paul were secreted on the site of the church during the prosecutions of Nalerian in 25S A. D.
 For centuries Rome was unaware that many of the ancient citys most famous structures lay hidden beneath a mushroom growth of modern dwellings and business buildings. Narrow lanes, with clothes hanging out to dry and windows adorned with flower pots, re- aemblng a Neapolitan quarter, ob sCured the remnants of dellcately wrought columns. One restaurant, the UIpia, was really the Trajan Forum, once heather basilica. The Tarpeian Rock Tavern, q modern night club, was better known than the rock upon which it stood-the Tarpeian Rock from which traitors to Imperial Rome were hurled to their death.
 When Mussolin1 announced his de termination to tear down these old homes and restaurants and buildings
