Bats Still Feared in
Old English Villages

The story of the Mexican village
of the blind, and the suggestion that
the affliction is indirectly caused by
the presence of bats in houses, re-
minds a correspondent in Hunting
tonshire that there still fingers in
that county a belief that bats sew
up your eyes while you sleep" writes
a columnist in the London Morning
Post, writing on old superstitions
that continue to keep their hold on
the world.
Il am not surprised that any an
cient belief should persist in that
pleasant but very isolated and little
known county. Its widely separated
villages, many of them but little
changed by the corrupted currents
of the times, are among the last
strongholds in England of such lore
of antiquity. 1t is not impossible, in
deed, that this belief has come down
from time when the jewellers in
these villages were themselves the
victims of blindness due to the same
cause as is suspected in the case Of
the Mexicans."

FEDERAL AGENCY
 MAY BE CREATED
 COPE WITH CRIME

WASHINGTON, July 13. -Presi- dent Roosevelt is evolving plan for the establishment of an Am erican Scotland Yard to fight or ganized crime, racketeering, kid mapping and other crimes. His program calls for a nation wide or ganization, to absorb present fed eral Investigating agencies nd bring about a closer Jason between state and national crime detect ing forces.
 It would be headed by an out standing expert of national repute.
 The chief executive has had the program under consideration for some time but the present wave of k apping and racketeering crimes has convinced him that the federal government must extend it's crime prevention forces.
 President Roosevelt and Attorney General Cummings frankly d m i t that the crime situation is out of the control of state and local po- lice authorities.

 A FINE HOBBY

YOSEMITE, July 12. Peter M. Topp, foreman of the Yosemite fish hatchery has a unique hobby for taking his mind off the exact ing business of nursing baby fish.

 MT. Topp has two wildcats trained to come to his cabin door whenever he calls. One of the cats will stand on it's hind legs and beg for food.
 He wins their confidence by tos- sing bits of meat and within two or three weeks he has them eat ing out of his hand.

DUTCHMAN WEEPS BECAUSE HE LOST
 4 GALLANT FIGHT

NEW YORK, July 13.-Billy Pe- trolle, the tough old fellew from Duluth, won as wild and wooley a battle as he has ever been in last night, scoring a technical knockout over Bep Van Cleveran, the belt ing Dutchman, in four rounds be- for a truly partisan crowd of 10 co persons.
 The fight was stopped by the referee on the orders of Dr. Joseph Sheridan, New York estate Athletic Confusion physician, as the Dutch welterweight's seconds sought fran tically to stop the bleeding from a deep gash in their warriors right eyelid between the fourth and the fifth rounds.
 In the uproar that followed, a policeman had to jump into the ring to get the weeping Van Claw eren out as he stormed about pro- testing, alternately chasing the re- fierce and daring Petrolle to get up off his stool and fight, while the crowd roared and took violent sides.

 That the Lindberghs would fly here was made all the more pro- bable by the fact that supplies for them have been forwarded here.

BIRTH
 PRACTICE IS NOT
 OBJECTED,OHIOAN

CLEVELAND, Ohio, July 12. - Defense of the scientific practice whereby Mrs. Mate Homel, of Los had three children with out having seen their father was made here by Dr. T. Wingate Todd, director of the Brush Foundation and professor of anatomy at Wes- tern Reserve University.
 "The process is not a difficult one and I can see no objection to it when both husband and wife are willing to try it" Dr. Wingate said. "Childless couples do not con- sider it wrong to adopt children, From the racial standpoint the other method is in many ways superior. The wife knows that the child will inherit some of her own characteristics and if she picks a father whose heredity is good she can look forward to a child with good heredity."
 Dr. Wingate expressed the opin- ion that the process would become much more common in years to come when people are swayed less by sentiment and more by biolog- ical considerations. He added that the process of artificial impregna- tion is employed several times each year in Cleveland.

production Of all kinds Of goods.

by revoiutionizing our ways. OF

Goods heretofore, ne says, were
invariably produced for sale. Be.
cause they can now DO pfoducea
In such quantities. 40 TO break
down any conceivable price scale,
they must henceforth be produced
for use. We must stop figuring
on the effective consumer demand

That. OF course, calls for changes
that make the current industrial

mint julep Of Kentuek is part of American
tradition. The Pilgrims landed upon Ply

southland were inspired to find far more
happy landing. The court cannot find II in
his heart to say nay to the ritualstie bev-

Bourbon whiskey or brandy. What of the

would think to hear these so-called experts
talk that nothing but hard liquor composed
