r. r. NJ. Carpenter, in a state

the reelection of President Hoover

with Legislature in the latter's

the statement following a careful
study of the economic situation in
both State and nation. Mr.. Car
penter speaks in no uncertain
tones in his support of both the
national and the State executives.
Mr. Carpenter, himself, is a can
didate for delegate from his district

School Meals in Porto
Rico Cost Only a Penny

WashingtOn.-A penny a meal Is
all the school children Of Porto Rico
pay for their fare. If they haven't
this pittance. they may pay in pro-
duce.
Theodore Roosevelt, in his last
written review of education in Porto
Rico before being appointed gov
ernor general Of the Philippines, de-
scribes the schooling Of the native.
The cheap meals are prepared and
served by girl pupils as part Of their
training in lines with government
methods to disseminate practical
knowledge"
Porto Rican schools are built on
small farms of from 5 to Is acres.
These the schoolboys cultivate and
receive for themselves One-third of
the proceeds. The remainder IS
either sold for school funds, or used
in school lunchrooms. The young
farmers are likewise encouraged to
cultivate their own truck gardens
and receive practical prizes for
meritorious work. Manual training
also plays an important part in
their education.
Girls are taught home economics
and sewing, as well as being put to
serving meals.

Deposits Increase in
German Savings Banks

Berlin.-Economis are deriving
some consolation from the fact
that the drain on German savings
deposits has ceased and that saw
ings again show an upward ten
dency.
The banking crisis of last year
naturally affected the savings
banks. although not to the same de-
gree of other banks. In May,
1881. savings deposits in Germany
reached their highest postwar
level, totaling 11,225,OOO,OOO marks.
During the seven following months,
deposits amounting to 1,543,000.OOO
marks, or 1871 per cent of the total,
were withdrawn from the savings
banks. The bottom was reached in
December The tendency, however,
reverted during the new year In
the first two months of 1882. saw
ings deposits increased by 2GI000,-
600, rising close to the 1O0O0,O000G0
mark.

Price of Bread Soaring
High in Soviet Russia

Moscow.-The shortage of bread
has become a critical problem for
millions in the Ukraine, the VOlga
region and. to a lesser extent,
Crimea and Caucasus.
In Ukrainian cities like Kiev and
Odessa bread of inferior quality
sells in Government cooperative
shops at from three to five rubles
a loaf. In the private market, upon
which millions must depend be-
cause the government supplies are
insufficient, bread prices are fan
tastic. sometimes as high as Is or
20 rubles q kilogram.
Tens Of thousands Of persons re
ceive food packages. especially
bread, regularly from Moscow.
Leningrad, and other northern cit
les. which are better supplied. The
post office in Moscow is flooded
with packages addressed to cities
where the bread famine is unusu-
ally sharp.
Recently the bread ration was
suspended in Kiev, Odessa, Zhito-
mir and other Ukrainian cities, on
account of the shortage. Factory
workers usually are able to obtain
their bread ratiOns in their "closed
stores" All others must pay at the
so-called commercial shops or in
the private market and pay the ex-
orbitant prices.

"Grinds" No Better

Berkeley. Calif.-Big, brawny
football heroes may carry off

Evidence Proves That
Indians Were Gamblers

Pittsburgh, Pa.-There was a
great deal Of gambling done here
long before the advent of the num-
bers racket, slot machines and sim
liar forms of up-to-date ways to
lose money, according TO Carl r.
Long of Carrick. a suburb.
Long has been collecting arrow
heads, stones, and other things left
behind by the Indians tribes which
once made the meeting place of the
Monongahala. Allegheny and Ohio
rivers their headquarters.
The sites Of Indian encampments
in the district yield mute evidence
of the popularity of gambling be
fore the white men came along,
Long says. Stone rolling was the
most popular. he says. In that one
of the "house man" selected a nice
round stone two and a half inches
in diameter. He rolled the stone
along the ground At a marked
spot. a big shot Indian with bow
and arrows tried to drive the stone
from its course with his weapons
Other brakes bet on or against
him. Sometimes, Long says. the
bet was as important as several
strings of wampum or a blanket,
and sometimes only a squaw.
These Indians-LOng says they
were Cornplanters and the biggest
gamblers of the eastern tribes
also played the old shell game
which still is tried in parts of New

SEEKING ORIGIN
OF WEST INDIES
Explorers Will Undertake to
Solve the Mystery Sur
rounding 1t
TWO THEORIES EXIST

Washington.-Lig 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 continu-
Gus land mass connected with the
North American continent, which
was submerged in the ocean like
the fabulous Lost Atlantis" with
only its 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-
sented by bones buried in cavern
floors, Smithsonian scientists hope
of origin. If a land connection ever
existed, it is held. the continental
mammals would have wandered
freely into the West Indian area.
However, none of the larger fam
lilies, such as the bison or the bears,
are represented among the living
forms or fossils.
Those who hold the continental
theory explain this by arguing that
these larger forms were creatures
of the lowlands which perished
when the land was inundated. They
believe that only smaller creatures
of the high mountains, whose tops
form the present West Indies, would
have survived. They ask. if these
islands were Of oceanic origin,
where did their animal life origi-
nate.
Unfortunately the present nam
NAL life of the islands, according to
the Smithsonian experts, may be
by no means representative of what
it once was. AT the time of Co
lumbus' first voyage there was a
large human population. part Of
whose sustenance was obtained
by hunting. Some of the most in
teresting creatures had disap-
peared long before science became
interested in them. 1t is planned ;
to reconstruct this extinct life, in
so far as possible, from the cave de-
posits in order to establish any pos
sible relationship.
The biology and archaeology of
the West Indies are considered
among the major fields Of Smith
sonian institution research. This
is Miller's third expedition to the
West Indies on this quest.

Outlines Reasons

First, as regards the Presiden-
tial question, while I would like to
have seen Mr.. Hoover 60 a little
further feel that his proposal will
get much further towards the solu-
tion Of this question than the bald
repeal position of Roosevelt. I
think that Mr.. Roosevelt knows
just as well as we do that he could
not secure a fiat repeal of the
Eighteenth Amendment in Con
gres even if no one voted but the
Democratic members. Again, I
could not vote for a candidate, no
matter how strong he was on the
repeal question, or how able to put
it over, who blames the corpora
tons and the banks for all the
troubles Of the country, and who
condemns and criticises his oppon-
ent instead Of telling the voters
what he has to offer. It is a poor
salesman who criticises his com
petitors' products instead of tell
ing the good points of his own.
