WASHINGTON, D. C., June 16.- Pliers on the Los Angeles Kansas City section of the midcontinent airway are to have a new aid to navigation by September l.
 VA radio range stations, which trar it invisible beams that are picked up as guides by a simple device on the instrument board of a plane, are to be established at eight points by the aeronautics branch of the department of com merce.
 Metallic reeds which vibrate and appear to the pilot on his course as two white ribbons of equal length are the visual guides.
 The airway section, nearly 1.4oo miles long, is to be the first to be equipped with the visual stations though practical service trials were carried on with installations at Bellefonte, Pa, and Detroit.

WARFARE UPON
 GANGSTERS HAS BEEN SWITCHED
Federal Agents Quit Chi cago to Co to New York
 and Detroit

WASHINGTON, D. C., June 16.-
 The Federal warfare upon gang
 sters has shifted from Chicago to
 New York, Detroit and other naa- jor cities.
 Encouraged by the success of the
 Federal agents in Chicago who
 worked there for months gathering
 evidence against Al Capone and
 other public enemies" the agents
 are being withdrawn for concen- tration elsewhere.
 A steady, quiet pressure was ap-
 piled in Chicago oyer a period of months with agents working from the inside of the gangs wherever possible. This will be the mode of attack with indictments expected only after the officials are confi- dent of having established their cases.
 In Chicago. Al Capone and 0 others were indicted by a Federal
 Grand Jury for conspiracy to vio- late the dry laws. The indictments charge the members of Capone's gang with 5000 offenses.

 For this reason they should be heard from the screen just as in real life"
 Wellman's system permitted tn e Woman Trap" company to make scenes in what is probably the noisiest spot in Los Angeles-the railroad yards near the central manufacturing district.
 The scene is that of a raid on a warehouse where liquor has been stored. Federal officers engage in a battle with Chester Morris, featur- ed with Hal Skelly and Evelyn Brent in the picture. Morris, after escaping, runs over maze of tracks and makes his getaway on an outbound freight train.
 Many Doubts Expressed
 Doubtful and cautious sound en- gineers assured Wellman that the scenes could not be made. Wellman insisted that microphones be scat tered abort the warehouse, on the loading platforms outside, and up and down the trackage wher e switch engines were bustling about in noisy pursuit of their affairs. Careful adjustment of the volume of sound brought perfect results and a self-satisfied smile from Wellman.

 The George S. Kaufman-Marc Connolly farce, which ran a full season at the Frazee Theatre, New York, and later was a hit through out the country, is good vehicle for Miss Davies.
 Changes Are Very Few In adapting the stage play for | the screen, Wanda Tuchock, scen- arist, and Edwin Justus Mayer, who prepared the dialogue, made but few alterations.
 The plot concerns young woman, more beautiful than she is wise, whose every good inten- ton results in a blunder

Jcwelry Magnate Infuriated
 Other guests at the party do their unknowing best to infuriate the important Forbes and climax en- sues in which the jewelry magnate accuses one man of making love to his wife and another of doing the same to his daughter. It looks like certain doom for the merger, to say nothing of Dulcy's romance. However, all is ironed out in a sur- prising conclusion and the audience may leave the theatre with laugh
 Bridge Scene Is Humorous l One of the most hilarious scenes in the comedy is that in which the guests play bridge. In this epi- sode, Miss Davies sounds warn- ing note to women bridge-partners who try to out-bid, out-trump and out talk everyone else.

GARDEN NOTES.

The Grimes Golden apple appears to
have a worthy rival in the new Golden
Delicious which Is now beginning to
come to market in considerable guam
tity. Golden Delicious was named be-
cause it was presumably OF the same
character as the Red Delicious but in
truth the two are rather distinct. The
flesh of the Golden Delicious is not
so crisp and juicy and, though nicely
favored does not possess that peculiar
aromatic quality that makes the Red
Delicious SO outstanding. Both varieties
are rather sweet, pomologically speak
ing mildly sub-acid. 1t is doubtful if
Golden Delicious will crowd the Grimes
Golden out of favor, but will rather
supplement the latter, extending the
season of yellow apples a little later.
yellow apples have to be extra fine to
gain favor at all but this Golden De-
licious has real quality.
Many a fine apple has been ruined
this year by insects, especially the cod
ling moth worm. Sometimes it is diff
cult on unsprayed trees to find single
worm-free fruit. Essentially there Is
no reason for submitting helplessly to
this pest because two or three sprays
applied at the right time will given in

of this annual order, incidentally help

THE COMPOST HEAP.

There is no doubt but that the Eng
lish method of gardening, in which all
plant refuse went into a pile known
as the compost heap, was a sound prac-
tice. In addition to the plant refuse
there was added some stable manure
and perhaps some SOD. Thus the Eng
lish gardener was always looking ahead
to the next year. The compost pile
needed rather frequent mixing and
meant lots of hard work, but in the
end furnished marvellous material for
stimulating and maintaining the
growth of plants.
Although the composing practice
was brought to America along with
the Old World gardeners. it became
was an excess of stable manure and
this gradually took the place of COM
posts. 1t looks now as If we should
restore the compost heap to favor in
order to maintain gardens on sue
cessful footing. especially those back
yard gardens that are too small to be
given over in part 10 cover crops.
A bale of straw or few barrow
leads of leaves will form a good basis
for a compost heap. To this mass
should be added layer by layer lime
and some nitrogen fertilizer. such as
nitrate of soda or ammonium sulphate,
wetting down the mass during the proc
ess. Preferably the location should be
in some protected spot where the wind
will not be too much Of a factor in
blowing the material about. If turned
regularly, decomposition will set in and
by the time gardening is we'll under
way next Spring supply of fertilizing
material will be at hand at a cost not
much more than manure and much
freer of weed seed and so forth.
The compost heap is not a substi-
tute for fertilizers as we know them, but
a supplement to make fertilizers more
valuable. The compost heap furnishes
organic matter as we'll as nutrients.
Our stiff clay soils. if simply supplied
with mineral fertilizers. become as their
original humus is used up more diff
ficult to work, but, If given chemical
fertilizers and the composted material,
they will improve in texture and fer
tility.

under the provision Of q bureau cir
cular, stating that since his discharge
from the Regular Navy he had been
employed continuously on vessels Of the
United States Merchant Marine. The
bureau has called attention Of all
Class F-2 personnel to the fact that
the circular states that such employ
ment, to warrant re-enlistment in pre-
vlouS rate, must have been performed
on vessels of the United States Mer-
chant Marine, which are approved as
vessels of the Merchant Marine Naval
Reserve.
Service on such vessels not listed as
Naval Reserve vessels the department
has ruled, does not come within the
limitation. Commandants of naval
districts may answer inquiries as to
what vessels are carried on the ap-
proved list.
Many applications received by the
Bureau OF Navigation for commission in
the Merchant Marine Naval Reserve,
the bureau has informed Reserve per-
sonnet, are not complete, necessitating
that all such applications be returned
to the various commandants, with
much loss Of time, irritation to the ap-
plicant and loss Of precedence due to
others being commissioned while the
candidates application is awaiting
completion.
The most common fault, the bureau
says, is failure to forward the can
didate's finger prints. Finger prints
must invariably accompany applica-
tions in order that the applicants pre-
vious record may be determined beyond
question. Further, the application must
be accompanied in every case by letters
showing the candidates employment
for the two years previous to applica-
ton. The two years record must be
continuous, with no blank periods. The
record Of employment during the two
years must be in the form of letters
Of recommendation from the candi-
dates employers during that time.
The Naval Reserve Inspection Board.
it was reported, has received numerous
requests that certain divisions or bat
talions be inspected on specific dates
or within certain time limits. The
board it was explained, does not desire
to discourage such legitimate requests,
and especially where they contain in
formation to the effect that other ac-
tivities Of personnel are contemplated
or where the armory Is engaged for
other purposes which would interfere
with the inspection. However, the
board said that it is desired to point
out that the purpose of annual in
spection, or any inspection, is to insure
high standard of performance and
training being maintained throughout
the year. 1t is not desired that divi-
sionS and battalions be brought to a
satisfactory state of training solely for
passing inspection and then allowed to
retrograde until the next inspection Is
in sight.
