NEW YORK, July 29.-The sudden
reversal in flow of international capi-

Point Long in Dispute
Solved by Old Trees =?

Further proof that North Ameri-

were parts of the same continent
has been found in northern Alberta,
Canada. Remains of trees said to
be from fifteen to twenty million
years old, vet perfectly preserved,
were found in sticky tar sand near
Fort McAiurray. Gnarled branches
and trunks of trees that could be
whitfield with iackknife, and even
the leaves and the insects that fed
upon the leaves. were in a good
state of preservation. thanks to the
air-tight embrace of the tar sand.
Not only are these ancient trees far
older than any previously discov-
cred tree remains, but they are said
to be the only known deposit of Ju-
rassic period vegetation in its origi-
nal state. The remains were dis
covered by the engineer of the Ca

He writes, "As l have in this

might appear as if her engagements
were very trifing; the which is not
the case but the reverse. .
She is constantly employed in the
affairs Of the family, which calls
for her constant attendance. not
only to provide, but also to attend
at getting prepared in the kitchen
our bread, meat, pies, etc. /.
Added to which her attendance is
demanded in the orchard. cutting
and drying apples in the
making Of cider without tools for
the constant drink of the family, her
seeing all our washing done and her
fine clothes and my shirts, the
which are all smoothed by her; /;
added to this her making of 20 large
cheeses, and that from one COW, be
sides her sewing, knitting, etc.
"Thus she loOketh well to the
ways of her household and eateth
not the bread of idleness, yea, she
also stretcheth out her hand to her
needy friends and neighbors !.
My dear wife meets little respite all
the day, the proverb being verified,
that 'Woman's work is never

SHOWS GAIN
Delaware One of Only Five
States to Report Increase
in the Year 1881
FIGURES JUST RELEASED

That deaths from tuberculosis
have sharply increased in Delaware
during the past year is shown BY
figures just released by the Della
ware Anti-Tuberculosis Society for
the year 1881. According to DOYLE
Hinton, executive secretary of the
Anti-Tuberculosis Society there
were 163 deaths from tuberculosis
in the State during 1880, for a
rate Of 1872 per 100000 population.
For 1881 there were 2O8 deaths.
for a rate of 86.3 per 100000 pop
ulation. DelaWare's tuberculosis
death-rate is considerably higher
than that for the nation as a whole
according to Mr.. Hinton, who says:
The death-rate for the nation as
q whole is approximately 81 per
100000 for 1881, according to lat
est statistics available through the
Y. s. Bureau Of the Census. Del
aware is one Of only five states of
the Union to show a death-rate in
crease for 1881, and most unfor-
tunately Delaware's percentage in
crease in deaths for the period far
exceeds that Of any State in the
group of five" Being asked if
Delaware's increased death-rate
from tuberculosis could in any de-
gree be traceable to the extended
depression, Mr. Hinton replied:
Possibly to some degree, but not
anymore so than in any other
State. 1t is a generally accepted
belief that insufficient aud improp-
er food, exposure and worry, which
things are more prevalent during
periods Of depression than in more
prosperous times, are contributing
factors toward the fiaring up of tu-
-berculosis as well as deaths from
this disease"

PROTECT FLOCK OF GEESE
The Only Flock of Greater Snow
Geese Left is Protected by Z. S.

The Only Flock of Greater Snow
Geese Left is Protected by Z. S.
Only one known flock of greater
snow geese is still left in this coun-
try and these birds are being given
the most careful protection both by
officials Of the United States and
Canada through the action of the
migratory bird treaty. This lone
flock spends its winters in North
Carolina and Virginia, where local
game wardens give it protection.
With the coming Of spring wealth
er in April the birds feel the urge
to 60 north and usually fly directly
northward until they reach the st.
Lawrence river. Here they turn
northeast and follow the river to a
group Of small islands, where every
year they stop off for a few days of
rest and feed. While taking their
"breather" they are under the care
of the Quebec mounted police, who
send patrol to the islands.
Hunters in the past have taken
an unfair advantage of the birds
through resort to camoufage. The
stream at this season is usually
full of floating ice and the hunters,
dressed in white and riding in white
motorboats. approach close to the
flOcES hpforp tho birds raoli2a that
an enemy is at hand. Because of
the rarity of the greater snow
geese, particular pains are being
taken to perpetuate the flock and
perhaps bring about an increase
which viii later permit hunting of
the birds.
Other birds found on the islands
with the greater snow geese are
the Canada goose, brant, black duck,
pintails, mallards and teals.

Best Light for Working

The American Standard Code of
Industrial Lighting recommends an
illumination Of from 10 to 10 foot
candles on the work plane for close
work in offices. To avoid eyestrain
the illumination should not be less
than 9 foot-candles, but higher illu-
mination increases the rapidity and
accuracy of office work. Indirect
lighting is not necessarily the best
form of lighting for an office. Two
things are essential for good light
ing-viz., sufficient intensity and
absence of glare. Under proper
conditions semi-direct lighting, or
even direct lighting, may be salts
factory. Indirect lighting is more
costly to install and maintain than
semi-direct or direct lighting. Walls
should not be white or dark in col
or. A light buff is a good color for
walls. Ceilings should be white.
Walls and ceilings should have matt
surfaces.

DUCE BOSS OF ALL
ITALY is ONE MAN
Tells MussOlini What To Do
and He Does 1t In Way
To Make Him Like tt
HAS EFFICIENT FORCE

ROme.-Everybody in Italy takes
orders from Premier NIussolini ex-
cept one man. He tells Mussolini
what to do-and makes him like it.
That man is Arturo Bocchini. d.
rector general of the Italian police.
BOcchini is sixty. His gray hair
and mild appearance make him
seem like anything but the head of
one of the most powerful secret po-
lice organizations in the world.
Bocchini assumed his present post
in September. 1926, shortly after
the anarchist, Lucetti, threw a bomb
at Mussolini's automobile as it was
passing through Porta Pia. Because
of his experience as prefect in
Genoa and other Italian cities, Boo
chini was called to take over the
job of supervising of all police ac-
tivities.
Got Carte Blanche.
AS condition to his acceptance,
Bocchini demanded carte blanche
powers to do what he thought best
for the safety of Mussolini. His
demands were accepted.
He started by giving Mussolini
orders. First Of all, Il Duce was
not to move publicly without in
forming the police in advance.
Second, the number of appear
ances at public ceremonies was to
be restricted and few persons were
to be received in audience.
Third, Mussolini was not to use
the train, but must travel every
where by automobile.
Bocchini as his final command
said Mussolini must not leave Ital-
ian territory.
During the past six years there
have been many times when Musso-
hni, annoyed by extreme precau-
tions taken by his guardian angel"
chafed under the restrictions. But
Bocchipi's threat to resign always
brought II Duce around.
Has Efficient Force.
Bocchini has built up an efficient
organization. It is divided into
three sections of plain clothes
agents. First is the presidential
squad" composed of about 1000 men
who have only one duty TO watch
out for the safety of the mead of
the government.
There is also a political squad"
scattered all over Italy. Its men,
bers ferret out subversive propa-
ganda and acts against the regime.
Finally, there is the regular organ
ization of detectives attached to po-
lice forces in the various cities of
Italy.
