For three hours fellow sailors held

No Way to Fight Attack
One bomb tossed in the Circle did
not break. It exploded this morn
ing, however, in the hand of a the
alter attache, as he was carrying it
out.
In view of the fact that the
fumes from the bombs penetrated
floors to such extent that they can
not be eliminated, even with blow
torches, and because of the fear
that future attacks can not IL
thwarted, it was decided that the
only course possible was closing of
the theaters.
Police were notified and a special
detail of plain clothes men was sent
through each theater today by Po-
lice Chief Michael Morrissey.
View was expressed by theater
men that there would be no way
to guard against attacks OF this
character, and that the lives of
many of the thousands of patrons
of the two theaters would he en-
dangered, if any attempt were made
to fight of the racketeers with
their own methods.
WalkOut Threat Fails
1T means that racketeering has
broken out in full force in Indian
apolis, and that we are facing the
same kind of terror reign that has
ruled in so many Of our other large
cities in recent years." one official
declared.
Three electricians, whose services
were not needed, we're cut from the
Indiana pay roll recently. The mat
ter was brought up at union ses-
sion and the Indiana posted as
"conditionally unfair"
AS result, notice was served that
stagehands, motion picture opera
tors and musicians would walk out
Thursday night. The walkout did
not materialize at that time, how
ever.
The Indiana and Circle theaters
are owned by the Skouras-PubliX
Theater Company. The Indiana
was opened in June, 1927, and is
rated the finest house of its kind
in the state. The Circle has been
operated for fifteen years.
IT'S Men to Lose Jobs
Value of the Indiana theater is
estimated near the $2.00O,O0 mark,
and that Of the Circle at approx
mately s75O,O0O.
Closing Of the theaters will mean
that at least 125 men viii lose their
jobs. Effect Of the closing also viii

allied industries.
Police continued their inyestiga-
ton today. Chief MorriSsey said he
would have squads go through both
theaters as often as possible.
However" the chief declared, ito

would be necessary to have a man

Science Batfzed BY Island

TAR .out in the tropical seas off the coast OF
South America is group of little islands,
as mysterious and strange as any lands man
has discovered
If the Galapagos Islands could tell of their
origin we might solve many of the riddles
which have been battling scientists. They Won
der why it is that no palm trees grow on these
warm volcanic islands, although they live on
almost all the tropic reefs and islands of the
world. They wonder why the birds living on
the different islands are so much alike, though
each kind has at the same time such different
characteristics that they seem to be only
relatives
When the famous scientist Darwin, first
visited these islands, he found them inhabited
by birds so fearless that they had to be pushed
out of the way: by turtles, huge and ancient,
and by tortoiSes and lizards and snakes. How
did all of these creatures get from the MAIN
land so far out to sea, the scientists wonder?
Were there, ages ago. island stepping Stones
which made the journey easier? Or were they
driven out to sea by terrific storms? And how
did the land-animals, the lizards and snakes,
cross the waters and reach these distant
Islands?
Only few kinds Of plants cIn endure the
dry heat of the islands. There are some cacti,
grasses, ferns and few trees which manage
to wiring living from the warm volcanic soil.
But no palms. And whence these few bold
plants came, is another secret.
The islands are evidently of volcanic origin.
There are more than 1000 craters on them,
many Of which are still active, and almost
any visitor at Worlds End" as the islands
have been called, may witness their per-
formance.
Rains are few and scant. It is only high
up on the mountain sides that little moisture
is squeezed from the hot breezes-and so it is
only 5000 or 1000 feet above the sea that the
sparse plants win less grudging living.
The only human beings who live at Worlds
End" are those in the prison colony established
on one of the islands, and herdsmen whose
goats and pigs are half wild. But the few
fresh-water springs on the islands, and the
easily caught. Galapagos turtles, now nearly
killed off, made many pirate stop Off for
fresh supply of meat or drinking water, no
doubt, in days gone by. and the islands could
probably tell some strange and rousing tales
of these visits.

Whales Lice to Be 500

THE question of longevity among animals
! covers about as wide a range as the variety
Of the animals themselves. The elephant lives
to be $50 years old while the lion is compara-
lively short-lived at 35 years. Certain types Of
cat have been known to live as long as 40 years,
while the mouse and the squirrel last but six
years OF all known living things, the whale
takes the prize for longevity, its estimated age
being 500 years. The turtle can boast of $50
years, while the goose If it escapes the pot can
live to an age of 80 years. The eagle leads all
the birds with an age of 104 years, closely fol-
lowed by the parrot, which can jabber away for
a century. The shortest lived of all living things
is the mayhy which lasts but about five hours
The moth is also short-lived, its maximum age
being about three and half days and the locust
but four weeks.
Carp, among the fish, have been known to
live 200 years.

gave him bye, which would send him into
