LIVES STRANGELY
TURNED BY TICKET
Incident of AZ Years Ago In.
voIving Love and Millions

NEW YORK tNANA).-Forty-two
years ago the price of a steamship
ticket separated Frederick Brown, re-
Gently one Of the depression's most
sensational casualties. from this coun-
try and $20,000,000 fortune. The story
OF how he got the ticket has just come
to light.
1t was stumbled upon by one who
visited DR.. Arman Breitner on the Neu-
baugasse, in the seventh district of
Vienna, to ease a toothache. In 1890
DR.. Breitner was a dentists assistant
in Carlsbad and a friend of the %
year-old Friedrich Braun. To both
young men a steamship ticket to the
United States seemed a passport to
Paradise and about as difficult to OBJ
tain.
In the Summer of that year, accord

1t did not take DR.. Breitner more
than a moment to accept. but the Aus

pairing for departure he received the
call to serve three years. The ticket
was good for only two years. and DR.
Breitner. arguing that a friend of his

money as rapidly as he, gave the ticket

Austin H. Clark, Smithsonian
Scientist, Reports Findings
on Local Insects.

Many butterflies common in the Dis
trict Of Columbia have the fragrance of
flowers.
An examination of some of the COM
mon species here reveals wide variety
Of pleasant odors exuded by the scent
scales Of the male according to a re-
port by Austin H. Clark. just issued by
the Smithsonian Institution.
Notable. he finds, is the fragrance OF
the common orange-and-black regal
fritillary-a strong, sweet, spicy odor
resembling that Of sandalwood. 1t Is
easily detected by smelling the upper
surfaces of the fore wings Of the male.
Odor Comes From Pouch.
The common milkweed butterfly of
District roadsides, Clark finds, emitS an
odor like the faint, sweet fragrance OF
red clover blossoms or the flowers OF
the common milkweed. This comes
from the scales within little pouch on
each hind wing of the male, together
with a faint, cockroach-lik odor.
The little blue butterfly OF District
fields. Clark reports, has an exceedingly
delicate odor comparable to that OF
newly stirred earth in Spring or of
crushed violet stems. This insect, he
finds, shows a decided preference for
white flowers. The tiny lesser sulphur
butterfly eXudes a pronounced fra
GRANGE suggesting that Of dried sweet
grass or Of sweet hay. 1t Is one OF the
smallest of local butterflies, yet its odor
Is easy to detect. The closely related
orange clover butterfly. which he found
in abundance about Washington parks,
has a constant and very uniform odor
suggesting heliotrope.
A closely related species Is the cloud
less sulphur, whose males emit very
pronounced odor which can be COM
pared with that of violets and musk.
1t shows a decided preference for yel-
low flowers and easily can be decoyed
by imitation butterflies made out Of
yellow paper and set up in muddy
spots.
Is Aggressive Insect.
Perhaps the most common species In
this part Of the country, Clark says, is
the cabbage butterfly The males emit
a faint odor difficult to detect, but
comparable to that of mignonette and
sweet briar This butterfly, he points
out, is the subject of some well-known
superStitions because of its occasional
appearance in houses in Midwinter.
This is because its caterpillars often
pupate on firewood and when this is
piled near the stove the warmth brings
about the metamorphosis.
The great family OF swallowtailS pre-
sent a different range OF odors. The
blue sWallowtail, especially common
about local flower gardens, exudes an
odor suggestive of carrot flowers. 1t is

HUGE SUMS SENT
HOME BY ALIENS
international Money Order
Business Proved Profitable
Last Year.

The international money order busi-
ness proved profitable last year when
foreigners residing in the United States
sent approximately $173,000,000 in
money orders back to their native
homes, the Commerce Department said
recently. This total, however, slumped
13 per cent under the figures for 1880,
and was 80 per cent lower than the
estimate for 1929.
The department attributed the decline
to the large number of aliens who left
the country last year, many of whom
carried their bank savings with them
to aid in support of friends and rela-
tives in distress abroad. The sharp
depreciation of certain foreign curren-
cies during the latter part of the year,
which increased foreign values of the
American dollar in those countries, and
the marked increase in remittances to
Soviet Russia were also said by the
factors for the decline.
Italy received the largest share of
the Immigrant remittance during the
year, getting about S26,500,0OO of the
total, while Greek immigrants sent
approximately $25,000,O00 to their
native homes. A total of SIS, 1000, 600
was sent abroad by Russians living in
the United States. and Japanese resi-
dents sent approximately 12,500,000
back home The departments records
show that almost every country received
some share of the remittances from
this country in 1881.
The department pointed out that
during the 1881 fiscal year nearly
1000 emigrant aliens left the country,
making an excess of departure over
admissions for the first time in the
history of the country. BY the second
half of the calendar year 1881, the rate
of these departures had fallen consid-
erably, however, with the result that
the number of emigrant aliens who left
the country during the calendar year,
the department estimated, was not
much more than SO per cent of the
fiscal year departures.
