BERMUDA ISLANDS
 SEEN AS AIRPORT
Lie in Path Of Projected Trans
 oceanic Plane Routes

Washington, D. C.. Dec. 23.-The Bermuda Islands will be the first
 sea stop Of the Europe-bound aerial
 fast mail" if present plans for such an oceanic service are consummat-
 ed.
 When airplanes glide In and out
 Of the Bermudas the islands will
 have plunged point-blank from the
 bicycle era into the airplane age of | transportation, without the inter
 mediate stage of automobiles, since all motor vehicles are tabu," says a bulletin from the Washington, D. C. headquarters of the National Geo. 1 graphic Society.
 Were there an airport on each island-which of course there could not be-airplanes might land on a different island every day Of the
 year. for there are 365 islands in the group.
 Discovered By ShipwreClS Formerly the tiny land dots were known as the Isles of the Devil They were shunned by searfarers; not sought as a refuge. In fact they were discovered unwittingly by Juan
 de Bermudez when he vas ship wrecked upon them. The Summer
 Isles" the natives now call them. and the quiet, quaint tourists
 haven owes its existence 10 one of
 natures most violent forces-the volcano.
 '"The islands are projecting peaks
 Of a mighty, submerged, extinct vol
 cano, based on the ocean floor, 15,- GOO feet below the surface, and if
 the water were drained off the mountain would be d prototype of the land-anchored Mont Blanc, in Europe. Instead Of snow. this mauntain is crowned with a layer of coral which, through the ages with the help of sea and wind, has grad
 ualy built up low, white limestone hills. Since the titanic disturbance | which created it, the volcano has settled slowly so that in places the coral is just below the water, form ing a ring of treacherous reefs and the famous marine gardens. The islands are arranged like a giant fishhook, $50 miles from Cape
 Hatteras. On approaching land a 1 steamer picks up d pilot, then turns completely around and doubles back
 on its track. Actually the vessel is
 proceeding through a narrow open ing in the outer ring Of reefs and is
 picking course slowly inside, fol-
 lowing the shore line. Whitish
 patches on the turquoise waters in-
 dicate coral shoals. Where the ship channel is narrow one may look over the side and see .agged chunks of highly colored coral.

the fipanciers.
The indictment filed against
the four F. H. Smith Company

Of a gigantic conspiracy to en-
bezzle $4,000, 900 of the funds OF
the sore beSet company Of which
they we're officials.
The indictment also charges
them with concealing and de-
stroying books and records Of the
company and hiding its assets as
q part Of the conspiracy.

raigned today, as their attorneys,
Wilton j. Lambert and Rudolph
Yeatman, announced they would
file pleas in abatement to the in
dictment similar to the pleas filed

GIRL ATTACKED,

ASSA|LANT
Helen TeawaIt, 19, Scratches
Man for Whom Washington
Police Are Now Searching

Helen, Teawalt, 10 years old,
was attacked and Choked into
Inconsistencies as she was walk
ing from car stop at Fifth
Street and Illinois Avenue North
west, to her home in the 400
block of Shepherd ST., shortly
after 1890 o'clock this morning.
Her assistant dragged her into
an alley but left the unconscious
girl and escaped before people,
attracted by her screams, were
able to come to the rescue. She
reports that as she got off the
car man, whose face she did
not see, walked up behind her
and said:
what are you doing out at
this time of night alOne?"
AS she turned about to see who
had accosted her, a short heavy
set man grabbed her by the
throat. She screamed twice and
scratched his face and lower lip
before losing consciousness.
Wore Dark Suit
She was unable TO give an
accurate description of the man.
beyond the fact that he wore a
dark suit and SLOUGH hat. She
said:
at all happened so quickly.
wish / knew what he looked
like. I think he was white,
however"
Her screams attracted the at.
tention of neighbors who quickly
came to her aid. Her assailant
fled.
The young woman works for
the Western Union Telegraph
Company and had just been re-,
lieved from a late shift in her
office. Every night she alights
from the street car at this point
and was unprepared for the
brutal attack. She explained!
at is increditable that such
a thing could happen. 1t took
me completely by surprise"
Weighs SO Pounds
Miss Teawalt. who weighs only
SO pounds, is brunette with a
pale skin and dark brown eyes.
She was treated by her family
physician and has suffered no
i'll effects.
She is the daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. John Teawalt and she has
two sisters and a brother, all
younger than herself.

moneys received from persons
unknown" but the shorter term
is more frequently used. All
the year round the mails bring
to Mr.. Evans desk anonymous
letters containing sums rang
ing from a few postage stamps
to hundreds of dollars in cash,
money orders or bank drafts.
They come from conscience
stricken taxpayers who have
evaded taxes and want to square
themselves with Uncle Sam.
There is little chance ever to
trace the donors or to check
up on their indebtedness, so
the contributions are turned
into the general fund and the
Government generally has to
accept a fellows word for it.
Mr.. Evans has various duties as

must be peculiar thrill about

about the identity of somebody

DAMAGE FIXE D

At $4,000
Fire Fighters Escape Injury
as Buildings Roof Falls In;
Woman First to Give Alarm

A five-alarm fire early today
swept the interior of a building in
the 800 block B st. S. W., formerly
occupied by the Sharon Dairy.
Origin of the blaze is undeter-
mined.
A hasty estimate by fire de-
partment officials placed the dam
age at approximately $4,000.
A section Of the roof in the CEN
ter Of the building fell in, but no
one was injured, although the
building was filled with firemen
at the time.
Several firemen suffered slightly
from the dense smoke, but no one
was overcome.
Woman Gives Alarm
The fire started in the middle
of the building on the second
floor and spread rapidly to the
front and rear. The first alarm
was turned in by a colored woman
who lives in Willow Tree Alley,
next to the damaged building.
The woman also warned occu-
pants of an adjoining house.
The fire was prevented from
spreading to the wholesale plant
of the Firestone Tire and Rubber
Co., next door, by the efforts Of
firemen, who played IL hose lines
on the building.
The second and third alarms
were sent in by Deputy Fire Chief
P. r. Davis. Of Engine Company
IA, while the fourth and fifth
were given at the command Of
Chief George S. Watson. Eighteen
engine companies responded, OF
which IA were pressed into SER
vice. Reserve Companies 3. 9 and
10 assisted in battling the flames.
Machinery Damaged
A few pieces of dairy machinery,
a number of milk-bottle caps and
cardboard ice-cream containers
were stored in the structure and
were badly damaged.
The only injury resulting from
the blaze was to Private S. P.
Bailey. of Engine Company 13,
who stepped on a nail.
The FireStone Company build
ing contained several thousand
tires and much damage would
have resulted had the flames
spread, it was said.

Will President Hoover dial his
own telephone calls when the
new dial system for the Capital
becomes effective about May 8.
The answer Is no.
Despite the contention Of the
telephone company that the dial
system speeds UP service and
otherwise improves it's quality. the
White House is set in its ways,
and besides the President could
not be expected to wrestle with a
dial every time he wants to use
the telephone. And he uses it
more than any other President.

Reduction of fat in butter

ltlllh.
6. Reduced cost of supplies.
It is no exaggeration to estimate
that these six items are equiva-
lent to at least one-half Of the
gain on composition, or 100000,
making a total of SIS, 202,61, against
which we have total cost for the
whole district for dues and hand
ling charges of 1-3 cent per pound,
or $15, 194.81, leaving a net gain of
$44,OO7.80.
There are numerous advantages,
real or fancied. There is however
one distinct disadvantage, namely
the fact that these savings come to
your patrons in the form Of pounds
of butterfat, instead of in price per
pound, and the average farmer is
incapable Of realizing that fact.
When ne hears of neighbor re-
ceiving a higher price per pound
at a non-member creamery, he i'm
mediately draws the conclusion
that his neighbor receives more
money. This is often not the case,
if he only knew the whole truth.
Considerable work has been done
this year by individual creameries
to advertise butter. Sank Rapids,
Glendorado, st. Joseph and your
District Board pooled money to adj
vertise in the st. Cloud Times and
Sank Rapids Sentinel, with good
results. I have also aided and en-
couraged the National Dairy Coun-
Gil work to the extent that most of
our members are also members of
that organization
The Supply Department made a
fine gain this year. Sales totaled
$86, 1922 for this district as COM
pared with $63,063.84 in 1928 and
$55,027.42 in 1927. We now have a
few non-members who buy all their
supplies from your Association,
while we still have a few members
who seem to feel that they have to
buy little from every Tom, Dick
and Harry that comes around. Let
us not forget that it is the small
everyday supplies that carry the
largest profits. It can not possibly
be good business to buy your ne
cessities elsewhere. Remember
L. o. L. meets all prices.
I wish to thank this board, the
member creameries and the oper-
ators for their many personal kind
nesses and hopefully solicit your
continued splendid cooperation.
Respectfully,
M. p. Mortenson.
