PANAMA PUTS OUT WEICHTY
 GUIDE BOOK

PANAMA, Oct. 9. = Unknown Panama may be called the subject of one of the most elaborate guide books ever published, and the Panama Association of Commerce is now devoting a great deal oi time to the preparation of this impressive tome, which will con tain some 400 pages of text ano l5o pages of illustrations.
 The thought back of the publi- cation is that the outside world thinks of Panama in terms of the Panama Canal and the Canal Zone while the Republic of Panama is practically ignored. However, the Republic is as large as the State of Maine, it contains great natural wealth, exceptional opportunities for business and industrial enter prises, abundant water power and very fertile soil. The forests of the country are filled with game and the waters surrounding Panama are a fisherman's paradise.
 The guide book will be published in various languages, and besides describing the great historica, points of interest will stress the opportunities for business in a country where politics of a dis turbing character promise to be negligible.

 He was up at two-perhaps he went out then. What clothes are missing?"
 They hurried back to he house.
 Alfred rummaged about for a long time. He found trousers a blazer blue serge suit dinner clothes, socks, shirts and trunks were missing. Most important of all, Jervis' razor and tooth brush were not in the bath. Hair brush es he had left behind; dressing gown, too. But dozen new handkerchiefs were gone - Alfred remembered them particularly. s,"Why should he have taken all those handkerchiefs and left be- hind his hair brushes Nan asked in a low tone.

HOW HIGH TARIFF HAS WORKED OUT

The circumstance that within the last two years more than 500 branches of American manufactures have bsen established in Canada involving the ex- money, is an indication of what get through high tariffs. These establishments and this vast of money the line where they employ Canadian labor thereby assisting in settling Can adas unemployment; pay Canadian taxes thus aiding in balancing the Canadian budget; give busi- ness to Canadian transportation companies, patron age to Canadian stores and other manufacturing establishments. Under reasonable reciprocal tariffs these factories would have remained in the United States and furnished markets for American labor American material American stores and other American factories
 It will be said that this is all due to Canadian high tariff instead of American high tariff. But the Canadian high tariff came as a retaliation for American high tariff, just high tariffs to other foreign countries. When the Hawey- Shoot measure was pending in the United States Congress dozens of countries protested. They then intimated that the United States inviting retaliation The high tariff barons, who act on the theory that anything that hurts foreign country must necessarily help the United States, took these protests as signs that the high tariff measure would be vastly beneficial They pretended to think the protests were evidence that the tariff measure ought to be enacted into law.
 The result has been to drive millions on millions Of American dollars into foreign countries employ labor there instead of giving Americans work and adding to the volume of the home market

 NEW YORK, Oct. 22.-A child begotten by a father aged more than 70 has 50 times better chanc- es of inheriting rich mental tai ents than one whose father was under 45.
 To prove this study of 1000 persons of outstanding capability in the 44th edition of the ency- clopedia Britannica is published by A F. Dutton of Hertfordshire, Eng land in the British official scien- tific journal nature.
 The same tables showed children begotten by fathers of more than 45 years have twice the chances of inherited capability. The chanc- es of 10 fold with paternal age of more than 60.
 These studies tend to revive a waning scientific faith in a meth- cd for human beings to improve themselves from generation to gen. eration. The method is the fa- lnous Lamarck hypothesis, a cor ollary of solution, which holds that in the process of natural selec- tion acquired capabilities can be transmitted to offspring.
 In other words that person who works hard enough to become a better man can somehow trans init some of this acquired charac- ter to his children. Not SO has been the recent preponderance of scientific experiments aimed at

 Without letting anybody know?'
 Ferdinand rubbed his hair once again.
 well, he might give a telegram to someone to send, and they might forget it. That's a thing that's very liable to happen. But I was thinking I'd run over into Croys- ton and make some inquiries"
 Jervis had not been seen in Croyston. He had not been seen at the railway station. There was an early train to town at seven thirty five. They tracked down the two porters who had been on duty. Neither of them knew MT. Weare by sight-but the train had been quite crowded as there was day excursion.
 The agent long melancholy man with a thin neck and an embarrassingly mobile Adams ap- pie, proved to be the type of wit ness who responds instantly to any ! suggestion. Asked if he had mo- ticed a tall gentleman with black hair, he fingered his Adams ap- pie and looked vaguely over Mans ! head
 Tall gentleman? Black hair?"
 "Yes," said Nan. Did you see him?"
 Well, I might have"
 But did you?" "Very tall gen1eman?"
 'Six feet said Ferdinand firm ly.
 The agents eyes came down an inch or two. From his manner it appeared that if they had wanted gentleman of six-foot-three or upwards, he could have obliged |them-but six. .. He shook his head mournfully.
 Well, I can't say as I noticed anyone of that description"
 You'd be likely to notice MT. Weare-he's noticeable Quick walk strong build-very black hair holds his head up and looks as if he'd bought the earth"
 Well I couldn't rightly say I'd know him."
 Was there anyone on the train who might have been MT. Weare?"
 Well there might have been,' The man frightened slightly
 "Was there?" said Nan.
 The agent seemed to think so He stopped lingering his Adams apple and scratched his head in melancholy ruminative manner.
 They had to leave it like that
 When they were driving back from Croyston Nan said in a suf- located little voice.
 T dreamt-last night-that he was-dead."
 well that means he's alive" said Ferdinand Dreams go by contraries." But he didn't look at her.
 Stop the car'!' said Nan rather 
 Ferdinand pulled up at the side Of the road. They were out of sight and hearing of the sea, in a lane with a struggling hedge on either side. The sky over them was yelled with something between haze and fog. The hedges were powdered thick with dust. It was very hot and very still. The light was pitiless-glare without sun.
 T think there's going to be a storm" said Ferdinand storm" said Ferdinand.
 T dreamt-last night-that he was dead" She looked straight in front of her, and neither face nor voice had any expression. Tt was-a dreadful dream. There was dark place-and I saw him he was lying on wet stones-it was quite dark"
 How could you see him if it was dark?" said Ferdinand. Nan was affecting him uncomfortably. He made his voice as brisk as possible.

CHAPTER 36. WHERE IS JERVIS?

Ndu CdIIle early 10 breakfast and Ferdinand Francis late. with his red hair sticky and rumpled He had made some attempt to brush it, but except for the color it looked good deal like the coat of a Scotch terrier. Jervis did not come to breakfast at all.
 Alfred says he went out early said Ferdinand over the bacon. 'It's going to be hotter than ever so I guess he's wiser to get all through with anything strenuous before the thermometer breaks"
 By eleven o'clock Alfred was being questioned.
 Did MT. Weare say he was go- ing to be later"
 MO, ma'am."
 Well, did he say where he was going?"
 No, sir"
 Did he say anything at all, AL fred?"
 NO, ma am.
 "Well. did you see which way he went?"
 Alfred looked agonized. He was a shy lad with strong objection to committing himself.
 'sNO, sir"
 Nan made flashing guess.
 Did you see him at all, Alfred?"
 NO, ma'am, I can't say I did.'
 ''He wasn't there when you went to wake him?"
 NO, ma'am, can't say he was."
 There wasn't anything more to be said It was the most ordinary thing in the world for Jervis to get up and go out before the servants were about. He would go down to the sea for a swim at three in the morning if the fancy took him. Since Nan had been at Weare he had been out every morning Once he had walked into Croyston and breakfasted there because he wanted to see a man about deal in sheep. He might have done the same thing again, and he would certainly be fright fully angry if he were pursued by fussy inquiries.
 Lunch time passed. At four o'clock she got up from her chair as Ferdinand came into the h- brary, and went to meet him. When they met, she looked at him, and then looked quickly away.
 We've got to do something" she said.
 Well, what do you want to do?"
 T don't know. I'm frightened"
 "Oh wouldn't be frightened"
 He'd never stay away like this he?"
 "Well-he might. But we'll do some telephoning and see if we can't get him. If he went into Croyston, he'd go to the hotel"
 Jervis had not been in the ho- tel, nor in any of the other places that they tried. They rang up the Tetterleys and Rosamund an- swered.
 Did you want Janet? She's away. She and Flasher went off last night to put in a couple of days with his sister. Jervis? No, he hasn't been here. Has he gone off? We'll, he does that, you know. he always has. I expect he's he's married. I should nt ask too many questions if I were you-he won't like it." She laughed
 Mans voice came small and steady and clear.
 You haven't seen him?"
 Mot since yesterday"
 Nan hung up the receiver. She turned a composed, colorless face to Ferdinand.
 What are we to do?"
 What did she Say?"
 "The Tetterleys are away. She says they went away last night. She says she hasn't seen him. She says he goes off-suddenN- like this. Is that true?"
 F. F. ran his hands through his ginger hair.

HUNTING TAKEN UP
BY RUMANIAN PRINCE
Young Mihai Hides Gun Of Kings
Aide to Keep From Being
Left Behind.

BUCHAREST-The little 10-year-
old Crown Prince and former King OF
Rulnania has become an ardent hunter
and since the wilds Of his country are
rich with all kinds of game, from rab-
bits to bear, he has recently had
plenty of opportunity to practice his
art never failing to be present at
every royal shooting party.
His father, the King, very evidently at
first took him along as companion, as
he usually does on all occasions, and
on the first hunt of the season, which
was in the wilds of Moldavia. where
bear and timber wolves are plentiful
he was able to steal out of the hunting
lodge long before the break Of day
while little Mihai lay slumbering
One or two disappointments, however
aroused the ingenuity of the boy.
On the following party held on an
important royal hunting estate plans
were again made to slip out and leave
the boy sleeping. The aide of the
King tiptoed in long before there was
a break of day and woke him, but his
gun was not to be found. The search
finally woke up the boy, who rolled
ever and said: "You would go off again
without me. Here is your gun, took
it to bed with me-"

DENVER KIDNAPPING
CASE UP MONDAY
Three to Go on Trial in Ab-
duction of Wealthy Baker
in January.

DENVER, March 10.-Three men go
on trial next Monday for the kidnapping
OF Benjamin P. Bower, wealthy bakery
executive, last January Instead of the
S5O.O00 ransom money they are alleged
TO have demanded for Bowers release,
they may get seven-year penitentiary
term, the maximum for kidnapping in
Colorado
Reed and A. N. Taylor.
Capture of the trio and their indict-
ment was the result of a clever plan
conceived and executed by police work
ing IN close cooperation with news
paper men.
Bower was given his liberty when,
otner measures having failed, psychol-
ogy was employed to throw distrust and
lear into the hearts of the abductors.
Leader Commits Suicide.
The plan worked so we'll that the
leader in the kidnap plot, Joseph Riley.
murderer and escaped convict, put a
bullet through his head as police ham
mered at his door.
A fifth man involved In the plot
turned informer and secured liberty by
furnishing damaging evidence against
the others in a sworn deposition.
Bowers was kidnapped January 10.
TWO of the plotters seized Mrs. Clara
Poole and Mrs. T. H. Winbourn and
forced them to accompany them to
the Bower home.
AS Mrs. Bower opened the door she
was forced inside at pistol point and
the whole party was herded into one
room, where Bower was singled out.
Eyes Bound With Tape.
Before the two kidnapers, disguised
With large colored spectacles, took
Bower away, they ordered Mrs. Bower
to have $4,000 in cash ready for them
the next morning Bowers eyes were
bound with adhesive tape, so he would
not be able to identify the cabin where
he was to be held or any of the men
in the plot
A coast-to-coast man hunt brought
no results. Then was conceived the
plan to confuse the kidnapers. 1t
worked far more successfully than was
expected
The police authorized fake" letter,
which was published as having been
received by Mrs Bower from the alb
ductors. The latter, ignorant of such a
letter, suspected each other of dou-
ble-craSs and decided to liberate Bower
without going further with their plans.

FRENCH EMBARGO
PUT ON i. s. FRUIT
Trade Suffers Heavy Blow in
Action Against San Jose
Scale.
BY the Associated Press.

PARIS, March 10.-The ministry Of
agriculture yesterday barred from
France all fresh fruits and plants from
the United States that might carry
the San Jose scale-an action that
was described by the American Cham
ber of Commerce as one of the heav-
lest blows United States trade with
France has suffered in the last few
months.
The Chamber Of Commerce an
nounced 1t was studying methods OF
combating the decree and that 1t would
make every effort to protect the in
terests of American fruit exporters.
Last year American fruit growers ex-
ported between 100000 and $5,000,-
900 worth of apples to France.
The embargo was complete one.
American interests expressed a hope,
however, that a loophole might be
found in an article providing that au-
thorization might be granted for the
importation of certain kinds of fruit
handled in the country of origin in
such a way as to give every assurance
that they were not carriers Of San
Jose scale.
These imports would be made under
conditions and through custom houses
specified by an order from the min
lister of agriculture after obtaining an
opinion from committee of experts.
The Americans said this possibility for
the importation of scale-free fruits
would be followed up.
