Grabs Walked Home.

During recent experiments in Eng
land, crabs were removed from their
original home to a place where there
was far more food for them, and where
it was thought they would settle down
quite happily. But they did not. No
sooner had they been turned into the
sea than they all started for home.
And in surprisingly short time the
majority of them had walked. or sided,
the 78 miles back again. There could
be no mistake about the identity of the
crabs in question, for they were all
marked with identification disks before
being shipped away.

8M|LL|ONSPENT
ON AIR LINES
IN 4 YEARS
Plans Call for Completion of
1850 Miles of Illuminated
Plane Guides by July !

Along with other Federal, State
and municipal activity in con-
struction work, the aeronautics
section of the Commerce Depart
ment is speeding its program Of
lighting $4,000 miles Of airways,
it was learned today.
Already there are close to 15 600
miles lighted and equipped with
radio aids to air navigation. BY
July there will be approximately
1850 miles of Federally lighted
airWays, 5000 miles of automatic
telegraph-typewriter circuits, IS
radio weather broadcasting and
communicating stations, SO radio
range beacons, 1850 beacon lights
and about 400 intermediate land
ing fields.
S8,5OO,OOO Spent
In the past four years the de-
partment has spent approximately
$8,500,000 in construction Of air
ways for the safety and reliability
of air transportation of all types.
This represents capital investment
as distinguished from mainten-
ance costs. The latter totals about
$5,0O0,000 annually.
Additional cooperation in add
ing to the safety Of air navigation
will be offered in the coming
year by the Weather Bureau,
which already has established pl-
lot-balloon service at SO stations
fer upper-air soundings TO ascer-
tain the direction and velocity OF
winds aloft. The majority of the
balloon services are located at
airports and furnish information
at frequent intervals during the
day and night to concentrating
centers along the airWays for use
in connection with forecasts,
Weather Checked
Reports are received also from
more than 200 first-order weather
Bureau stations twice daily. These,
in combination with the upper-air
reports, are utilized in making
aviation forecasts which are trans
mitted through automatic tele-
graph-typeWriter and radio COM
nunication stations to ailports
and pilots using the airwayS.
The aeronauticS section said:
"The system of cOmmunica-
tiOnS under which the main
tenance personnel on the air
ways furnishes additional in
information rgarding local
storms, fOgs and changes in
existing local weather conditions
to the Weather Bureau airport
stations, is being extended con-
stantly as new airways are es-
tabIished.
"The Weather Bureau also
has established 23O special air
ways weather-repOrting stations.
These stations furnish frequent
reports of local conditions over
the automatic typewriter cir
cults"

Capone was ordered today by Fed

on a motion to quash criminal pro-

Inability to Meet Debts for
New Southport School
Worries Perry.

Financial chaos OF Perry town
ship, Marion county, remained I'M
solved today and inability of the
township to meet outstanding in
debtedness became more apparent
as bills for work on the new South
port high school continued to flow
into the Office Of Omer Green, new
trustee.
Admitting the fiances of the town.
ship are in sbad condition, o. S.
Pollard, retiring trustee, today denied
charges that it is the fault of his
administration.
Likewise, Green, who says he will
not be able to come anyway near
paying bills, many of which were
due before he took Office, does not
care to assume blame for the stu
alton.
Budget Not Holding Out
Last years budget is not holding
out and at present two warrants,
one due Nov. 20 for $500 and an
other due Dec. 20 for $4,000, both
on construction of the new high
school, stand against the township
with no funds available to pay
them" Green said.
A bill for $500 for furniture in
the new building was not paid by
the previous administration because
the equipment was unsatisfactory
Pollard explained.
Pollard further stated that a g.
cent cut On the 1880 Perry tax
levy by the state tax board will be
responsible for the shortage in
township funds that looms for
1881.
Pollard first outlined his budget
for $2.25 levy, cut it 6 cents him
self when taxpayers complained of
the burden and was forced by the
tax board to cut it to $2.13, the pres
ent 1890 levy.
Charges that Pollard unduly in
creased the townships tax burden
by placing the school on inacces-
sible, swannpy land, necessitating
the building of roads to the school,
also were denied by the retiring
trustee.
II Didn't Pick Spot
Il didn't want the school build
ing where it is located" Pollard
said, 'but the location was decided
by the former county superin-
tendent, Lee Swails, after an appeal
by taxpayers of the township.
Further, building roads to the
new school were not under my juris-
diction. The $4,000 paid out for a
road was spent by county commits
Sioners under the county unit law
and came from the townships bond
issue.
Bills due in 1880 we're unpaid be-
cause the December tax settlement
did rot reach me before I turned
the books over to Green" Pollard
said.
