were washed by a storm
upon the beach at Old Lyme, Conn, it
was at once assumed that they were
from some long-forgotten wrecked vessel
or from some pirates hoard.
Had the valuables been found upon
the beach at Southampton, Long Island,
it would have been far from probable
that they had come from a pirates
hoard, for back in 1881 Charles Gibbs
as constituencies and as villainous
pirate as ever flew the black fiag-buried
$25,000 in gold in the beach at South
ampton. And as far as is known, not
a dollar of the treasure ever has been
recovered.
But, as there are no records of pirates
having buried loot at Old Lyme, it is
highly probable that the miniature
treasure trove did come from some wreck
near shore.
Whatever the truth of the source of
the coins and jewels, the incident has
renewed the interest in sunken treas
ures, an interest which has been steadily
increasing during the last few years.
No doubt this interest is partly the re-
suit of the depression and men seeking
new means of acquiring wealth; even
more it is. because of the success that
attended the salvagers of the Egypt,
who secured about $5,000,000 from this
sunken ship off the coast of France:
but, most of all, perhaps, it is due to
the fact that with modern methods and
apparatus the salvaging of sunken treas
ureS is no longer romantic adventure
or gamble but an engineering problem
and business proposition. Though the
public hears little of what is going on
fathoms beneath the waves, expeditions
are constantly at work, lifting long-loSt
treasures from rotting hulks and
battered wrecks.
EOR months past Simon Lake and his
company have been working on the
Lusitania, sunk, with her millions in
specie and gems, during the World War.
Another expedition has been laboring
during the last Summer on the Merida,
off the Virginia Capes Now comes word
from Lewes, Del, stating that the British
sloop-of-war De Braak with her 81 ,000,-
600 in specie has been located near Cape
HenIopen. The De Braak went down in
1913 and the divers who have found and
surveyed the 134-year-old hulk report
that it is buried to the level of the main
deck in the sand. But that is good news
to the salvagers, for it means that the
ships cargo and treasure will no doubt
be found intact when the old wreck is
lifted, fioated and brought ashore.
Even the japanese have taken a hand
In wrestling treasures from their resting

Toxic states that two groups of japanese

HUNGRY BABIES
FED POISON

DETROIT, Aug. 16 G.N.S).
There was nothing left in the
icebox at the home of Mrs. Bea-
trice Stanley this morning but
some scraps of bread and a half
jar of jam.
Mrs. Stanley's husband, Otto,
had set out again on his seem
ingly hopeless quest for a job.
The three Stanley children-Jean,
S, Annetta, 7, and Gordon, g.
were asking for their breakfast.
There was no money in the
house so Mrs. Stanley prepared
to give them a breakfast of stale
bread, jam and water. Then her
eye caught sight Of bottle on a
kitchen shelf labeled poison"
Ten minutes later she rushed
screaming to a neighbor.
''I've poisoned them, but I
can't watch them die."
Police found the three children
writhing in convulsions from the
poisoned jam. Physicians said
they would recover.

CUBA COUP COST

HAVANA, Aug. 16 I.N.SO.-It
cost Cuba more than $4,000, 900
to oust Ex-President Gerardo
Machado from power. govern
ment officials and private eco
nomists interviewed by 1nterna-
tional News Service estimated
today.
The damage to the homes of
officials under the Machado re-
gine amounted to $5,000,000 and
Cuban commerce stood the
balance of the loss.
A temporary business boom is
expected to redeem a large part
of the loss, and business enter
prises look forward to a period
of security unknown since before
Machado's administration began.
This security vanished, Cuban
economists state, the moment
the Machado government began
levying inordinate taxes to pay
the cost of its "extravagances."
Both Cuban and American
business men here say the new
administration will be more favor
able to tho United States.

Beginning with the first ap-
pearance Of the economic catas-
trOphe, industry Immediately
undertook to deflate its per-
SOnnel and expenses, which
continued until in March this
year when it was estimated that
there were some 10000 peO-
pie out Of employment as COM
pared with a normal, say, of
100000. The Government did
not pursue a like policy but on
the contrary increased its ex-
penditures. To bear this out,
there were this spring about
10000 more governmental en-
plOyeS in the District of COIum-
bia and in the field than were
on the payrOllS of the Govern.
ment four years earlier.
"The personnel of the Gov
ernment in the District of Co
lumbia, according to my figures,
amounted to 6O,954 in June, 1929,
compared with 65,619 for the
corresponding date in 1882. This
was the high-water mark, as the
number of persons employed by
the Federal Government in the
District Of Columbia at the time
amounts to 63,O67, an actual re-
duction of 2,552 since June,
1882, practically all of which has
taken place since March, 1888.
These statistics, of course, refer
