Explorers Will Undertake to
Solve Mystery.

Washington.-Light on the origin
of the West Indies is being sought
by the Smithsonian institution in
the dark caves OF Porto Rico, where
Gerrit S. Miller, Jr., curator of
mammals, is now seeking clews to
extinct animal life.
Two theories as to the origin
OF these islands exist. One is that
they once were part of a cOntinu-
Gus land mass connected with the
North American continent. which
was submerged in the ocean like
the fabulous Lost Atlantis" with
only It's mountains remaining above
the water. The other is that they
rose from the sea and were never
connected with the continent.
The animals of this region afford
major puzzles to biologists. The
peculiar mammal life, some Of
whose vanished forms are repre-

Lights of New York ~ TRSnbUIh TsU1bUIh

The more we learn OF the beer
racket" here in New York, the more
remarkable we find it. 1t really
isn't a racket. For some time II
has been, in the main, a highly or
ganized and orderly business. Those
engaged in it want no trouble. Gun
play, with its attendant publicity, is
the last thing they desire.
The beer supply of New York is
controlled by possibly six men.
They are the manufacturers and
wholesalers. The beer they furnish
is of fine quality, made by experts
from the best materials. Distribu-
tion is scientific. Greater New
York is divided into districts, with
clearly defined boundaries. In each
of these districts there is a dis
tributor, jobber. or middle man
call him what you please. If he
attempts to do business outside his
allotted district, discipline is swift.
Oh. no; he is not put Oh the spot"
or beaten up or anything Of that
sort. That is not the manner in
which big business works. His
supply is cut off. That leaves him
an outcast. Should he try to get
rough, something might happen to
him, of course. Many engaged in
the trade were pretty tough citi-
zens before brains high up showed
them there was more profit in being
business men. They are not going
to let a few outlaws jeopardize
their highly comfortable living. AND
an outsider who becomes obnoxious
also may be dealt with firmly.

racket, in the hands of half dozen

PLATINUM INVADING
MANY NEW FIELDS

sia, however. has been a leading
platinum producer for many years,
with Canada, South Africa, Colon
bia and Burma also supplying a
large share of the worlds supply.
Alaska, California. Nevada. Oregon
and Utah are the leading United
States sources.
'In most platinum producing re-
gions, the metal is a by-product of
gold, silver, copper and nickel min
ing, but in Russia gold is a by
product of platinum mining.
practically all platinum except
that produced in South Africa
comes from placer mines, that is,
from beds and banks of rivers that
have washel down rocks containing
the metal. While individuals still

Terrace and Save
Soil, Says Expert
Losses by Heavy Rains
Can Thus Be Reduced
to Minimum.

ment OF Agriculture.)- )-WNU Service
Washing away of fertile top soil
from cultivated soils in north CEN
tral Missouri by heavy rains Is re-
duced to a remarkable minimum
when the land is terraced properly,
saws A. T. Holman, Of the bureau of
agricultural engineering, United
States Department of Agriculture,
who has charge of the experiments
at the federal erosion experiment
farm at Bethany, Mo. His statement
is based upon accurate measure
ments of soil losses at the farm in
1881 from terraced land planted in
corn.
Measurements were made on both
level and graded terraces planted
to corn, during a period when the
rainfall was from 80 to 80 per cent
in excess of the normal for north
ern Missouri. The data so far OBJ
tained indicate that level terraces
or those with small grades are
more desirable in this region than
terraces with 6 inches fall In 100
feet. The measurements show
comparatively little soil loss from
sheet erosion and no formation Of
gullies.
Soil losses from unterraced areas
on the farm planted to corn aver
aged 40 tons an acre-50 to 100
times as great as the losses from
terraced land. The average loss
from terraced land in three corn
fields, land varying in slope from s
to 16 feet in q hundred, was % tons
an acre. The smallest loss was lit
tie more than one ton an acre. II
occurred on land with an average
slope of Is feet in a hundred, pro-
tected by level terraces.
On a steep. rough hillside plant
ed in corn, with terraces having 2
inches fall in 100 feet and corn rows
parallel to the terrace lines, the soil
carried away was only S5 pounds
more than one ton per acre. These
experiments show that even when
steep land is planted to corn and
even in a year when the seasonal
rains are both numerous and heavy,
erosion losses are almost negligible
If the land is protected properly
with terraces.
On terraces that had grades of G
inches in 100 feet, more than twice
as much soil was lost as on level
terraces. According to measure
ments, 100 ton of soil an acre was
lost with level terraces as compared
with 2.72 tons an acre with terraces
having 6-inch grades.

State Honors Man Who
Fought for independence.

Fort Worth, Texas.-A monument
to Gen E. III. Tarrant, famed vet
eran of the War of 1912 and the
Texas war Of independence, was
recently unveiled here.
To Tarrant is accredited the sub
DUNG of the Indians in this region.
For this achievement, this county
was named for him.
A marble shaft, eight feet high,
replaces the tiny bronze military
markers which formerly marked
the burial site of the former sol
dier, Texas Ranger. lawyer, and
public officer. Ii was erected by
the Daughters of 1912.
On one side of the shaft Is In
scribed General Tarrant's outstand-
ing accomplishments, on the other

Diversion of River Soon to
Be Accomplished.

Boulder City, Nev.-A year ago
the torrential Colorado river beat
its muddy waters unmolested against
the precipitious sides Of Black
where the Colorado forms
the boundary between Nevada and
Arizona.
Today It looked upward and
knew that its tempestuous career
was doomed.
For overhead, ant-llke, Charles
A. Shea, construction director of
Six Companies, Inc, builder OF
Hoover dam, looked down from the
portal of a diversion tunnel and
said:
"By December Wen have changed
your course so that you'll flow
peacefully through four tunnels.
On your river bed We'll start build
Ing Hoover dam. n gigantic tomb
stone TO mark the end of your
career"
Work of driving the tunnels ana
pouring the tunnel portion of the
100000 cubic yards of concrete
that will go into Hoover dam Is
progressing rapidly, Shea said
After the Colorado has been d.
yerted from its age-long course, the
dam proper will be started. Up
Black canyons sides, Hoover dam
will rear its concrete bulk 730 feet.

We have been hearing for so long
the "with-a-jacket" song of fashion
it seems rather refreshing to have
the words changed into "with-a-
cape" which really is the latest
message in regard to new costumes.
Not that jackets have gone out, but
that capes have come in, and there
is quite a rivalry existing between
the two. In Paris the cape-dress
has become an outstanding theme
for evening as we'll as daytime wear.
For street wear the print frock with
a cape either of self-fabric or con
trasting material is considered the
height of chic. The model pictured
is an ultra fashion made of a high
quality pure silk canton crepe which
is especially desirable for tailored
effects. The neat little white prints
stand out like tiny snow crystals
against a navy. or a bright nassau
blue or a light chocolate brown, rust
or green background according to
the particular combination you
choose. The canton crepe cape Is
the identical color of the ground Of
the print.

UNVEILS SHAFT
TO GENERAL TARRANT

although he was a front rank figure
In early Texas history. Some au-
thorities maintain he was born In
North Carolina, others claim Ten
nessee and still others say it was
Alabama.
While still a youth, about nine
teen, he distinguished himself In
two battles against marauding In
dians with a southern army under
Gen. Andrew Jackson.
Well qualified for frontier life
and a natural pioneer, he came to
Texas in 1885. Leaving the army in
1896, after independence was won.
he joined the Texas rangers. he
became commander of the north
west Texas region. redundant with
hostile Indians and vicious out
laws.
In 1888, General Tarrant was
elected representative to the con-
gress of the Texas republic. AL
though a recognized lawyer, he
quickly resigned to return to COM
mand of the Rangers.
AS he grew older and less ac-
tive physically, he traded the sad
die for a legislative chair and
served several terms In the Texas
legislature after Texas was admit
ted to the Union.
General Tarrant died in 1858 at
old Fort Belknap.

Considerably fewer models are
coming to the doors of New York
artists. Many of these girls had
jobs and modelled in their spare
time. The extra money they made
in this manner went for Injuries
theaters, movies and additional ar
ticles Of dress they could not 9TH
erwise afford. Now, many of them
have lost their jobs and are not
good enough at modelling to make
their entire living in that fashion.
The result is that dozens of them
have gone back to the old home
town. The suitors they regarded
as too steady and prOsaic have be-
gun to look pretty good to them.
The stock of play boys has gone
down.
They tell me that the manufac-
turers and inventors of hair dyes
have agents who demonstrate their
product before the proprietors of
beauty shops. For this purpose they
use living models. These models
have thus been getting the very
finest and most careful sort of
dyeing and waving job for nothing.
One of them was highly indignant
the other day because the demon
stratOr had not been around for
some time and her hair had grown
to the extent that it was mix

A smart, personable girl lost her
position as private secretary and
couldn't get another. She figured her
assets as an education, knOwl-
edge of stenography, and port
able typewriter. She also figured
that there must be number of per-
sons in a big city who had no use
for a permanent secretary. but who
hated to write or answer letters.
The only way she knew to find them
was to look up names in the tele-
phone book and then try to sell her
idea by a hOuse-tO-hOuse canvass.
Her proposition was that she would
come once a week. take dictation,
and type letters for dollar an
hour, with a minimum of one hours
work. Getting the first customer
was the hardest Now her business
has worked up to $50 a week. That
is to say, she has an equivalent of
five customers day. One recon-.
mends her to another and she is
hoping to increase her business so
as to gross $50 weekly. The thing
is, of course. to try to get as many
of her clients as possible in one
