IPOPE'S APARTMENTS
UNDERGOING REPAIRS
350-Year Wooden Rafters Are Be-
ing Replaced With Iron
Beams.

By Gable to The Star.
ROME, August 2.-The 350-year-old
wooden rafters of the private apart
ments Of Pope Plus XI are being re-
placed by iron beams following the
discovery that this portion of the papal
palace has become so weak that re-
pairs are imperative
Work of renovation was planned
last Autumn following an inspection
made Immediately after the collapse of
section of the library. 1t had been
postponed in the hope that the Pope
would spend a long vacation at the
papal estate at Castel Gandolfo, II
miles southeast of Rome, this Summer
and work could be done while he was
away without disturbing his daily life.
BY this time, however, 1t has become
apparent that the Pontiff will spend
only few hours at Castel Gandolfo,
and repairs accordingly have been be-
gun.
For the time being work is confined
to two big halls nearest the papal stair
way. These rooms are used Dy the Pope
only on rare occasions for receptions
when he admits visitors into his quar-
tiers.
These two halls have been vacated
while ths work proceeds. The Pope
and his official family will move from
each part of the premises as repairs
are undertaken there.
The rafters being replaced are those
erected when the palace was built by
Pope Sixtus v, whose pontificate ex-
tended from 1885 to 1890.

DETROIT CUTS DOLE
TO BREAD AND MILK
Grocers Decline to Honor Further
Food Orders as City Goes
Heavily Into Debt.

BY the Associated Press.
DETROIT, August 2.-DoIe rations
dwindled to bread and milk in Detroit
yesterday, and destitute families had to
make their own bread.
Continuance Of the milk supply de-
pends on how long dealers will continue
to credit the public welfare department,
which already owes S2,600, 900 and has
in sight only the expectancy of a ST.
100000 loan from the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation. The flour for the
bread comes from Red Cross wheat.
Elimination Of vegetables, meat and
other articles at welfare department
feeding stations, where meals are kerved
to 5000 persons, and orders given to
1000 families, came yesterday afternoon
when grocers refused further credit to
the city The grocers hold unpaid well
fare orders totaling $1.100,000
They asked Mayor Frank Murphy to
assure payment in full if the city gets
the expected lean. The mayor, taking
into consideration other department OBJ
legations, said he could not give this
assurance. The grocers then said they
would accept no further orders.

They appear to be due in least amount
to the unloading of the protuberant
lands into the ocean basins and the
constant increase in the volume of
water through volcanic action. The
greater fluctuations have been explained
as due to the periodic deepening of the
ocean basins.
I'm general it is most often local
crustal movements In one or more Of
the continents or oceanic bottoms are
in both in combination that bring about
the oceanic transgressionS and the
emergence of lands. There may be in
addition astronomic causes, changing
the earth's axis, and probably others
which have to do with alterations in
the interior of the earth, which either
reduce or enlarge its diameter. Dur
ing times Of speeding they cause the
oceanic waters to heap up toward the
equator. Then, because of the moons
friction, they bring about a slow flow

This is the largest number of stock

About $4,000 stockholders were added
to those previously holding this stock
during the first quarter of the year.
This is the third highest increase in
the number of stockholders in the his
tory of the company. AS a result Of
this large gain, the average number
Of shares held per stakeholder de-
clined to twenty-eight.
All parts of the United States
showed increases in the number Of

Few Without Desire to
Peer Into the Future

The good round sum of $125,000,000
annually is reported to be paid by our
people to various prophets Of the fu-
ture who by reading horoscopes, gaz-
ing into glass globes and by other
means agree to give information as to
the future. 1t is customary to set
down this investment as tribute made
by human folly to desire for fore
knowledge. But it is reasonable to
believe that goodly part of this eX-
penditure is made much like invest
ment in other amusements.
. Every normal person is interested in
the future, so that the urge to learn
something about it, If that were pos
sible, is well nigh universal. But It
Is not reasonable to suppose that $685.
100000 annually is spent by people
who really believe that they can learn
something. For the curiosity about
the future is accompanied by curiosity
almost as urgent about anything mys-
terious-anything that Is seemingly
outside the zone Of personal expert
ence and capacities.
Fortune tellers have attracted and
continue to attract host Of patrons
who would strenuously deny belief
that the future can be foretold, but
yet are interested in the occasional
evidences, deriving from unknown
means and causes, that those who prac-
tice prophecy do "hit 1t right" many
times.
There is innate in humanity distrust
Of absolute nationality. We are all
conscious of the vast nescience that
underlies our knowledge and present
means of acquiring 1t. We are greatly
curious about possible sources Of
knowledge yet undeveloped. And we
pay high price merely to crafty
uriosity.-Rochester Democrat and
Chronicle.

indians Outclassed in
Use of Bow and Arrow

Archery 200 or more years ago was
a useful accomplishment as well as
a competitive sport. Prior to the in
vention of gunpowder, the bow and
arrow had been, for almost 1000
years, the principal weapon of defense
in England. So important was it con-
sidered that every Englishman be able
to WELD a wicked bow that archery
practice was long compulsory for all
men between the ages Of sixteen and
sixty. The Mayfower immigrants
were armed with blunderbusses, but,
in order to conserve their supply of
shot, they frequently hunted with the
bow and arrow, in the use Of which
they were more skillful than were
their savage neighbors. Indian Prov
ess with the bow and arrow seems to
have been much overrated by roman
ticists. They usually shot their quar-
~ at close range after it had been
stalked for them, and in friendly
shooting competitions between red
skins and Englishmen, the white men
are said to have invariably won.

Forms of the letters in recently
discovered old Phoenician alphabet
show evidences of having been chosen
to represent the forms Of the mouth
used in speaking them. This theory
is advanced by Sir Richard Paget, an
authority on human speech, who finds
that nearly every one of the twenty
nine symbols used is suggestive Of
the lip formation to produce the sound
symbolized. He does not suggest that
the scribe who selected the mOuthlike
characters did so Intentionally, but be-
1ieves instead that the forms were
chosen unconsciously. The letter "P,'
for instance, is represented by a sign
suggestive Of the closed lips used at
the start of pronouncing it.-Popular
