Laws had been passed to stop

said, "Let 'em buy BEER" the
money came out of boarding in

Why, out here the first few
thousand cases of beer sold were
paid for with silver dollars
worn so thin that they were
pasted together like a dollar bill.

Naval Court Launches Lakehurst Probe
Into Cause of Akron Tragedy

Wiley, Deal and Erwin were
called before the board.
No Complaints Made
Admiral Butler asked Wiley If
the report just read was true in
every respect. Wiley said yes. But
Ter asked:
'Have you any complaints
against any officer or man on
that OccasiOn?"
"N0 SIR"
Admiral Butler turned to the
enlisted men, Deal and Erwin, and
asked:
"Any objections to Com
mander Wiley's repOrt?"
''NO SIR"
Wiley was then called to the
witness stand.
Judge Advocate Pennoyer asked
him regarding his experience in
lighter-than-air service. Wiley
gave it in detail, beginning with
April IL, 1923 when he first went
into that service.
II made every flight on the
Akron, except one, that Of last
month to Miami"

eyes"
HAD MADE A CHART
Wiley said the logs of the Akron
were lost during the fatal trip.
However, he had made a chart
from memory. This chart was
accepted into the records.
A badly torn note book was
handed to Wiley. He was asked
to identify it. He looked at it
closely, and said:
"This appears to be a book
Of nOtatiOns taken by Lieuten-
ant Dugan. The nOtatiOns cor
respond exactly with my own
observations.
"ThiS record was taken to de-
termine the static condition Of
the ship"
Wiley identified a large blue
print plan of the Akron which
was strung across a blackboard
near the dais. Wiley left the
witness chair and, standing be-
fore the chart, explained in de.
tail the makeup and proportions
of the lost dirigible.
Describes the Ship
He described the ship as $780,
900 cubic feet in size and 785
feet in length.
Wiley identified the small
model of the Akron which was
in the room. It was accurate, he
said. Then Wiley resumed his
seat in the witness chair and
gave information in addition to
that contained in his former re-
port to Secretary of the Navy
Swanson, which had been made
hurriedly."
Wiley said the Akron was to
leave LakehurSt at sunset April
8, and expected to be off New
port, r. l., an hour after sunrise
the next morning.
He told how Admiral Moffett
telephoned Washington at II a. m.
on April and said he wished to
make the trip.
Weather Conditions

Lakehurst Naval Air Station said
the Akron could leave the hangar
but they thought it would be bad

II Serious Pest

ONE OF the really serious pests of the nve
~ stock raiser in the Southwest. the screw
worm has appeared in large numbers in Georgia
and Florida, causing considerable alarm. A
belief has sprung up that this is a new invasion,
but according to Department of Agriculture
entomologists the fly has been found in those
two States for years, but not in the quantity
present this year.
Screw worms normally live in carcasSes OF
dead animals The flies that develop from these
worms are greenish-blue, with three dark stripes
on the back between the wings. The head Is q
light red and rather large, giving them the
name "red heads in some sections When
numerous enough they lay their eggs on injured
places on living animals The larvae or mag
gots which hatch in about IL hours, penetrate
the healthy tissue causing pain and irritation.
If not destroyed they may permanently maim
the animal, or may even cause its death. Screw
worms often attack newly branded or dehorned
live stock. Not uncommonly they penetrate
the flesh through q very slight scratch or
bruise, or they may enter through tiny abrasions
where ticks have been attached to the skin or
flies have bitten.
Investigations by department entomologists in
Texas, where the screw worm has long been q
major live stock pest show that the most inn
portant single step in control Is the elimination
OF all possible breeding places for the insect
This means that all dead animals must be
promptly burned and all animal refuse around
slaughter houses burned or buried deep.
The number Of flies already present can be
reduced BY setting out the screen traps developed
by department entomologists. These traps.

were richly rrwsrde6 if va even aeess- s,ry to bring the matter into the courts few years ago when it seemed as if the quarry company was defaeins the mountain side with ifs blasting. And this despite the fact that the land was actually owned by the park association which paid as much as $55.000 for buying up land on the head of the Giant. The transfer of $30.00O this week enabled the association to take up the quarry eompany's lease which still had IS years to run.
 It may be two years before all signs of the quarrying activity are removed from the Giant, as that length of time is allotted the company to wind up its activities. In that time we presume that actual transfer of the spot to the state will be .consummated. When this is done we hope that the state will in some way. or another acknowledge the years of effort that have gone into this project. It was no easy matter to prevent Ncomplete oblitefation of the head of the Giant as mem bers of the association could tell if pressed for information. And it was not always easy to procure the necessary funds to keep buy ing up land around the Head. Nor was this last drive for S30.000 with which to buy up the lease accomplished over night It is a chapter in park history that should be written into state history with indelible ink.

Wheat Bonus Money

An announcement of the benefits to be received by various states for cutting their wheat acreage next year and year after. in harmony with the government plan. gives these interesting figures: Kansas will get $26.0Oo.0oo year, North Dakota $l5.- 500.00o, Nebraska S9.200.000. Oklahom $o,000.000. Montana S7.200.000. and other per-eminently agricultural states some what in proportion, until we come to pre- eminently manufacturing states. Then we find rather striking contrasts with far more populous states getting much less. Thus the estimate for Illinois is $5,100,000. Ohio S4,800.000, Indiana $4,200.000 and Penn sylvania $3.000.000.
 The wheat payments come from tax on professors which is paid immediately by the food manufacturers and presumably passed along. as any such taxes usually are. to the consumers. Thus most of this tax for the country as whole will be paid where fac tories and people are most numerous Gen. orally speaking. the states getting the least of this bonus money will be paying the most. The arrangement. though, isn't really so one-sided as it seems. The pur- pose is to raise farmers buying power. If thar is accomplished. the money will come back to the manufacturing states in business profit and workers wages. :.

Governor Cross has once more showed his distaste for special legislative sessions. He has temporarily put the kibosh on one for this state and this despite the urgent plea of Democratic National Committeeman Archibald MeNeilSo of Bridgeport this week. A year ago there were any number of public officials, perhaps the most outspoken of whom was Mayor Quigley of New Britain. declaring that many Connecticut communi
 ties would not pass through the winter of 1932-33 without going into bankruptcy unless the Legislature was summoned into special session to pass statutes that would enable them to borrow money to finance their relief bills. The winter was weathered and the Legislature duly came into its regu- lar session and passed without some of the recommendations of Mayor Quigley and others of his belief being passed. We face another winter and more demands for leg islative sessions This time we want to change the banking laws so that the Home Loan banks may operate efficiently and thor oughly in Connecticut But assuming that the recent ruling of the Attorney Generals office will have some weight in this matter Governor Cross does not now look with favor on special session. Perhaps in time it may become necessary to do this, but postponement now and then has often saved considerable expense. In this instance we think any saving is worth making.

Yes. the amateur who takes flier in Wall Street has a chance = but slim one. A professor of mathematics in Columbia Uni versity, figuring it out from available evil dence, finds that the chances against the average man making money in the stock market are 12 to one. This almost inevitable tendency to lose comes partly from ignorance and partly from temperament. The anna teur speculator fails to take his profits

Sleep On Undisturbed

After twenty years effort the Sleeping Giant has at last passed into hands that will forever protect its natural beauty from the quarryman. By dint of hard work the Sleeping Giant Park Association secured through purchase the lease held on the Sleep ing Giant by the Connecticut Quaries Company just in time to prevent further obliteration of this natural phenomenon which has attracted the eye of the motorist on the Cheshire-New Haven road for so many years. It required superhuman effort to buy this spot.- eventually to be given to the state for park purposes. but the victory is all the sweeter today.
 Is was back in 1911-l2 that the first effort to acquire the Sleeping Giant was made. Since then efforts have been almost seaseless until this past summer when they

AMBER
(New York Sun)

(NeW York Sun)
 Storms on the Baltic have their sunny side; they sometimes wash amber ashore on the coast of East Prussia. over TOO pounds were found on one beach after recent storms. In February of last year a similar quantity of this German gold" was brought ashore by hur- ricanes. All amber mined, dredged from the sea or washed ashore in Prussia belongs to the state and must be handed over to the Preus- sag, a state-owned company. About 80 per cent of the world production of this fossil resin comes from East Prussia. Limited quantities are found in the United States, in southern Europe and in Buvma. Amber was esteemed as medi- cine by the ancients, but the vir- tues they asscribed to 1t were al- most entirely imaginary. though confidence in it's power still per- sists. Specimens containing i'm sects or leaves are highly valued today as they have always been and fraudulent limitations are often foisted upon too trusting collectors. Large quantities of amber are con- sumed in Mohammedan worship at Mecca; it is in great demand throughout the east. Its chief com- mercial use is as mouthpieces for pipes, as beads and as bases of varnishes. Much commercial amber is artificial. When rubbed amber evolves electricity, and from its Greek name the word electricity" is derived.

 Sweets and bitters of little field" -Thoreau If all the world should die tonight With just this rolling meadow left, What thing among the tangled roots
 Would be bereft? The snake would pour his slender length From the coolness of the low stone wal Swallow a young field mouse and sleep,
 Indifferent to it all. The armored beetle and the snail
 Have room enough; the humble bee Lines her low cave and seals her eggs
 Sure of her progeny. Brown hares would wind a crooked way,
 watching where the blue hawk hung; And never world of the lost world
 Would be on any tongue. And no man with a moon-curved scythe
 Would cut the blue star chicory And scatter goIdhnches and break
 Clover that has no enemy. Yarrow would keep her bitter heart.
 And Queens Lace curve her birds nest cup The meadow lark would sprN Nld his wings
 And sing when the sun c;bne up!
