New York-The most incurable of all Manhattan rounders remains, af- ter all these years, none other than Harry k. Thaw.
 Just before the first snow furry of winter, he returns to the bright | lights-an inexplicable. strange echo of the most sensational murder case this mans town ever knew. Watching him making rounds in sort of daZed boredom, from which 1 he seems to awaken at moments un- der the stimulus of some vivid and new beauty of the cabaret floor shows, he seems 10 become each year a more incredible puzzle. Most of those who figured with him in The days when his name hung in huge black letters from every front page have either died or passed from the picture. The men and women of his particular period are seldom heard from or seen.
 Now and then one may drop down 10 some survivor of the olden days, such as the Beaux Arts, and hear tales of how Thaw and all the 'blades" of the day started their night round from there.
 What different figure today. A bodyguard, and sometimes two, ac- company him. Just now he drops in more often than not at Tex Cuinan's all-night emporium. His entrance is greeted by some facetious musical gag, such as You're Driy- ing Me Crazy"
 Not smile! Not a rebuke! Not g. protest. Someone at a nearby t,h hl1 f, |, party sents itself. A few whispers pass about. Someone whispers 70 someone else that there's a certain pretty girly in the chorus who has been getting bracelets and necklaces. Somehow, the money bag never seems to reach bottom. Somehow, there never seems to come a sur- felt point in this restless wraith's wanderings.
 Yet seldom is one ever able 10 detect the slightest sign of gaiety or amused reaction to the proceed ings. It's all as mechanical as a shop-girl punshing a time clock.

 Since then the cloud has lifted. Even the local priests, we heard, ap- proved the farm, recognizing that its primary objective is to cure the sick. Serums are being experimented with which may help in the fight against tuberculosis, cancer, impot- ence. venereal diseases and other af- fictions. Work is being done also in line with the famous Voronoff claims
 Attractive Site
 Perched on a hill overlooking the Black Sea, amidst thick subtropical vegetation, the farm is an attractive enough place for human beings, let alone monkeys. There is nothing of the ordinary zoo atmosphere.
 The work of the Sukhum station is especially remarkable because it is carried on with comparatively small means, unlike the French and Amer ican. stations which are comfortably subsidized.

About 14,000 tons of pepper are produced on this island each year. Rubber, tin and sandalWood are among the exports. Coffee is the most famous product, and it is exported in large amounts. People in other countries have long thought of Mocha and -" as the best kinds of coffee. If I had placed a name where you see the dash, you would have the name of the island. Other products include corn, po- tatoes, cabbage, sugar, fruit, tea, and cotton.
 The western part is the scene of terrific thunderstorms, and there is more rainfall than is good for hu- man welfare.
 The capital city is Batavia.
 By cutting out the pieces and plac- ing them together, you will gain an idea of the islands shape and will learn the name if you have not guessed it.
 School pupils may take this pug gle to school and try it on their classmates. See how many can guess the name without looking at ! the picture, if you have put it to- gether.

 Sukhum, Soviet Republic of Abk- hasia, U. s. s. R. Significant ex- periments which may have far-reach ing effects upon medical. biological and allied knowledge are under way here at the Sukhum monkey farm -one of the only three scientific monkey colonies in the world The other two are the Pasteur experi- mental station in western Africa and the one recently established in Flor ida by Professor Robert Yerkes of Yale University.
 Americans will probably hear a good deal more about the Sukhum work this spring, when an interna- tional gathering of monkey. special ists Is scheduled on the Florida farm. Two of the Sukhum leaders. Mrs Ja- cob A. Tobelkin and Alfred Peter Sel helm, have accepted Professor Yer kes' invitation to attend.
 Brief Visit
 Even in a brief visit this corre- spondent saw enough of the monkey farm to realize that the mystery of these creatures is well worth inves- tigating.
 The Sukhum farm began several years ago under cloud of public suspicion. It had been rumored

FAMOUS ISLAND PUZZLES A Land of Good Coffee

Leaving frozen Greenland, we jump to an island just about "across the world.' This island lies south of the equator. It is on the border of the Indian ocean.
 It is more than half as large as
 Great Britain, and contains 35,000,- 900 people. Almost all the people are small folk with yellow-brown skins.
 The island is the home of 45 VOL canoes, some of them active. In the year 1883 krakatoa, an island near this one, was blown in half by the most terrific explosion ever known. The noise of the explosion was heard hundreds of miles away.
 Rice is the most important crop on the island and is the chief food eaten by the natives.

Good evening.

 Nor heard the invisible door. As he passed where life's problems uncertain Will follow and vex him no more; We fingered and wept on the threshold. The threshold each mortal must cross, Then we laid new wreath down upon It, To mark new sorrow and loss.

they also have furnished us with
certain essential facts in support of
retention of troops at both camps,
which we incorporated in a formal
letter to the secretary of war, using
their contentious as the basis of our
discussion with Secretary Hurley
this morning. AS a final appeal we
urged the suspension, at least until
economic conditions improve in No
gales and Douglas, of any orders
now in contemplation for transfer
of troops at Camp Jones or Camp
Little.
1--WE were told it would require
quite a period of time to work out
details of troop transfers involved,
but no encouragement was given us
that there would be any change in
the announced abandonment of
Camp Little and Camp Jones.
Congressman Douglas expects to
return to Washington about June 9
and we so informed the secretary
of war, who said that he will be
glad to give the congressman an
opportunity to be personally heard
in opposition to the pending pro-
gram; but we found the secretary
unyieldn in his declaration that
the president has spoken on the
subject and there was no way to
modify the plans under way inso-
far as they effect any particular
post"

A Shorter Road To HuachucQ

Now that it appears Nogales is to lose the army
post, steps should be taken Immediately by this city
toward offsetting the loss in revenue that removal
of the troops will mean to Nogales.
The war department has plans under way to
greatly enlarge Fort Huachuca and to send there not
only the 25th Infantry from Nogales and Douglas but
also troops from other states That will mean Huach
ca may have as high as $4,000 soldiers.
Those $4,000 men will spend their money largely
in either Nogaes, Bisbec Douglas. Naturally, they
will prefer trading in the city reached by the best
roads.
Nogaes can make strong bid for that business
by bringing about construction of direct high
way from here to the old fort If such road is built
this city may benefit more from big camp at Hua-
chuca than from the approximate 500 men now at
Camp Little.
After all, the removal Of the troops from Noga-
es may not prove to be boomerang.

The Peacetime Cost Of War

The whole subject of war and it's cost has been
brought into the arena OF public discussion IN the
United State as result of the recent meeting Of the
international Chamber of Commerce in Washington.
As is always the case when the subject is discussed
everybody agreed that all nations spending too
much money on their military and naval establish
ments, but nobobdy willing to commit his own
country to reduction in this terrific charge upon the
taxpayers.
President Hoover however took the first step
by summoning the Secretary of War and the Chief
of Staff of the Army into conference and asking
7hem to figure out ways whereby the cost OF main
tanning the military establishment of the United
States can be reduced without impairng its effic
lency This is in a direction which most Am
orleans will commend There is doubt in the world
III own MINDS that we are peace-lOVlng nation.
The peoples and governments of other countries do
not always believe when say that but every
American knows that it is true Mr. Hoover by
of his Quaker birth and upbringing, is naturally op
posed to war as the means OF settling international
disputes. And it is reported that he found the heads
of the Army in accord with his desire for economy
The money spent by the War Department in
tle OF peace, is OF course very largely for internal
improvements The development and dredging of har-
bors the building Of bridges, everything that has to
do with keeping navigable rivers in their channels,
and many other government engineering projects
are carried out by army engineers There is no idea OF
cutting down any of these activities which are
now providing employment for tens Of thousands OF
men who would otherwise, perhaps be out of jobs.
Nor is it planned, according to the information from
W reuuCe lne army personnel buC IH0re
expenditures in connection with the upkeep of
the military establishment which, it is believed can
be reduced suspended to result in saving of be-
tween $500, 10000 and $400,000,000 year
Such saving would go long way toward max
ing up the nations billion dollar deficit and it would
also be gesture toward the rest Of the world in the
way Of proof that we have no immediate war-like
aims
Good letterheaJs make favorable impression
yet there are in Nogales who are willing to
write their letters scraps of paper.
