ADMIRAL. FARRAGUT..... COMPELLED 10 SAIL
 AHEAD 0F SCHEDULE

once again the Winds and waves broke tip N steamboat schedule when the Admiral Far ragut pulled away from the city dock Monday night at .930 in- stead of waiting until 12.15 Wednesday morning as previous ly announced. Capt John E Kol- seth decided at 6 o'clock that the south wind was rocking his ship against the billings and blew de- parting whistles
 There was decided scramble immediately thereafter as pas sengers and many of the crew were up in town and were una ware of the sudden change in sailing time. Soon after the wind changed to the north holding the steamer away from the dock and heavy snow storm added it's element to the situation. It was then a problem of safe sail ing and the boat was held until the snow abated to some extent, but shortly after she had cast loose the wind increased in vio- fence, and it is quite likely that She ran into stormy weather be- wound Harding's Entrance

PARIS, Aug. 15.-Because mod ern artists paint paster, there is now model market" in Paris.
 Every morning hundreds of girls gather in the halls of art acade- mics while artists survey them and choose the ones they wish.
 Three sittings is about the aver age nowadays, at $1 for the three hours, whereas before the war a model hired to pose was assured of at least a dozen. With shorter jobs the hunt for work is keener; hence the models market"
 There are always plenty of mod els. Some girls seek the work deliberately, but many fall into it by chance, through another mod els suggestion or an acquaintance with an artist.
 Not even all girls with beautiful faces or figures are successful mod els. Remaining absolutely i'm mobile for as long as 25 minutes is not easy.

TALKIES DRIVING
 SILENT FILM FROM
 GERMAN STUDIOS

BERLIN, Aug. 15-The talkies smashing victory in Germany over the silent film is shown by the March report of the Berlin Cham Der of Commerce. A steady in- crease in the production of tone films almost in inverse proportion to the diminution of silent film productions was recorded.
 It is pointed out that the stu pendous capitalization of the talkie is all the more surprising in view of the comparatively limited num- Der of movie houses in this coun- try with installations for tone films.
 This popularization of the talkie has already led to very notice able dearth of silent films of quality and therefore obliged an ever increasing number of cinema owners to adapt their theatres to the new order of things.
 At present there are 461 talkie cinemas in Germany, which num- Der, however, is expected to be in- creased to beyond 900 by fall. Ger man cinema owners sent com mission to London and Paris to propose an agreement with other European centers for raising the admission fee to talkie perform anceS.

FORMER CATCHER ON BOTH BIRTHDAY
 RECALLS GAMES CIVIL VAR DECADE

RALEIGH, N. C., Aug. 15.-Base- ball, says Maj. A. M. Wheeler, who was famous as catcher nearly IS years ago, always will remain the American national game.
 Major Wheeler, after celebrating his 89th birthday recently scorned the idea that the game has been weakened by home run orgies, the lively ball, big-score games, and the competition of golf.
 He won fame as captain and catcher of the Niagaras in Buffalo just before the Civil war. Modern slugfests paled into insignificance when he recalled with many chuc- kles the time the Niagaras defeated one of the early professional teams, 209 to 10.
 Looking back over 72 years Of baseball, Major Wheeler said among the first professional outfits were the Brooklyn Atlantics and the old Philadelphia Athletic clubs.
 These were organizations about 1864 and Wheelers Niagaras down ed the Atlantics l7 to 13, the ma- jor recalled in big game at Buff falo in 1865 or 1866.
 Major Wheeler observes that sev- eral changes from the old times rules have given the game wider appeal.
 Among them he noted are that the pitcher now gets speed through the overland delivery where for merly he had to toss the ball to the plate, and that the catcher is now up close to the batter instead of yards back.
 The revision which now makes it necessary to throw out a batter at first base instead of hitting him with the ball also is beneficial, the major believes.

Child, Travel Stories
 For Prison Illiterates

: WASHINGTON, Aug. 15.-To meet the preference of conyicts for stor- ies about children and travel, Mrs. Cora Wilson Stewart, director of the national illiteracy crusade is preparing a series of books especial ly designed for teaching prison il- literates.
 Mrs. Stewart has just returned from tour of southern prisons. A warden's wife told her that men in prison read all the women's maga- zines they can get and are especial ly interested in stories about chill dren.
 Mrs. Stewart found that Virginia has a model system for teaching prison illiterates with paid out side educational supervisor.
 Some states have no teaching in their prisons while others have the prisoner pupils packed together in corridors trying to study under feeble flickering lights.

SCIENTISTS SCORN PROFIT
 TO AID HEALTH OF PUBLIC

CORVALLIS, Orc, .Aug. l5.-To insure the public against eating fruit tainted with spray poisons. a scientific discovery said to be worth small fortune, has been given without profit by two re- search specialists of the Oregon State college of agricultural experi- ment station.
 The scientists are Henry Hart man and H. R. Robinson. Their unusual gift is present to the fruit growing industry of a process for removing spray poisons from ripe fruit.
 The formula is protected against private exploitation by a public service patent.
 For many years fruit containing residue from heavy arsenate of lead spraying was sold uncleaned as the normal amount of poison re- maining in the skin was not con sidered dangerous.
 Recently the federal government ordered that all fruit be cleaned thoroughly and that none showing trace of spray be exported
 Robinson and Hartman perfected wash that costs about one-half cent per bushel to clean fruit Their process has become standard in the fruit growing districts of the west and is reported spreading to the midwest and the east

FORMER BRAKEMAN MADE
 BISHOP BY METHODISTS

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Aug. 15.--- From brakeman to bishop is the record of the Rev. Arthur J. Moore, of Birmingham, recently elevated to the College of Bishops of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South.
 Born in Georgia in 1889, Mr. Moore neglected his early education for the most fascinating business of becoming a brakeman. He spent most of his time on the railroad until he was 20 years old, serving in various capacities. He was mar ried at the age of Is.
 Turning suddenly from railroad ing to the ministry he soon became a sensation as an evangelist. Dur ing the last 20 years he has served many important Methodist charges in the south, and now becomes the youngest bishop in the history Of Southern Metfrodism.

"STEEL TRUST" CONTINUES TO
BE SPECIAL BENEFICIARY OF
ADMINISTRATION AT CAPITOL

WASHINGTON, D. c., May Is
tion, commonly referred to as the
"Steel Trust, continues to be the
special beneficiary of the Republi
can administration at Washington.
Recently, Secretary Melons Trea-
sury Department gave the Steel
corporation another tax refund of
approximately $33,000,O0O, making a
total of more than $97,OOO0OO in war
taxes collected from the Steel Cor
poration by the Wilson administra-
ton which succeeding Republican
administrations have returned to it,
without any court process whatever.
Last week, House and Republican
tariff conferences restored to the
tariff bill the House rate of $1.12h
per ton duty on pig iron, which
Senate Democrats and progressive
Republicans had reduced to rs cents
per ton, the original Fordney-Mc-
Curnber tariff act rate.
1t was in March, 1927, that Presi-
dent Coolidge, acting under the flex-
ible tariff authority, increased the
duty on pig iron by so per cent,
from IS cents to $1121a per ton.
On June 1st, following, the Steel
Corporation distributed a 40 per
cent stock dividend of more than
5000, 100000. At that time, the COM
mon stock of the corporation sold
on the New York exchange for Sill
per share It's jcak during the stock
boom last year vas over $3.50 per
share
Two weeks after President Cool
idge increased the tariff on big
iron, the Steel Corporation increas-
ed the price of that commodity so
cents per ton. Tariff favors helped
the corporation to swell it's profits
until last year they were more than
Nogales international., 1930-05-16

$256000,000, or 1890 per share of
common stock. On the old capital
ization, prior to cutting the 40 per
stock melon, they would have been
nearly $50 per share.
The Steel Trust is, of course, the
chief beneficiary of the big iron
tariff. Now, with $1.121a cents per
ton made the basic rate on pig iron,
the steel trust will be in a position
to go before the President and seek
further increase of so per cent in
the duty, if the flexible power is
continued to be vested in the Presi-
dent.
The huge profits and heavy divid-
end distributions are evidence that
the steel trust does not need such
tariff protection. If other evidence
is required, it is to be found in the
fact that imports of steel products
