HarbOr are watching the operations
with interest and no little hope.
They are In possession OF maps
which presumably show the loca-
ton of buried treasure. They be-
lieye firmly In those maps and the
only thing that keeps them from
going treasure hunting is the mat
ter of money. Sailors Snug Harbor

and gold found. they believe that

many days now. divers have been
prowling around In the mud of the

quest is the old British ship Hus-

The Hussar went down in 17S0.
According TO records. she struck
one of the many rocky reefs in the
East river and probably slid into
deep water. there being a stone

the ship is said to have been ac-
tually brought TO the surface of the
river. But 1t broke In two, sank
and could not be recovered again
The interest In the wreck lies in
the fact that 1t was supposed to
have been carrying gold worth at
present prices about S6.0O0,0O0. the
money being the pay Of British
troops In this country. II Is said
that British admiralty records fail
to show any such shipment. But
treasure hunters are always hope
full and so. after 154 years, there Is
renewed search for the wreck.

New Method of Refining
Oil Will Save Millions

New York.-A revolutionary way
to refine oil that is expected to
change the entire trend Of present
day refining. and save millions of
dollars for motorists. was demon
strated recently before a gathering
of prominent oil engineers. The
method is known as the ClearOsnl
process. This new process uses
powerful solvents to wash" oil OF
impurities and is regarded as the
most efficient and flexible control
over lubricating oil refining ever
devised II minimizes carbon form
ing in an automobile engine due to
oil. and eliminates gum and sIudge
from crude oil tar.
The demonstration was held at
the Paulsboro IN. J.) plant Of the
Socony-vacuum Oil company by their
engineers.

NEW YORK, Oct. l7.-ln the gang manner:
 It is 9:30 pm. and Chinatown is preparing to sleep away another celestial night. Around the corner from Pell street Big Jake lounges against the counter and says: give me another glass of milk"
 Two walters are polishing glasses. One of them draws Big Jake a glass of milk. That's four glasses for you, boss. You ought to buy yourself a cow"
 Did you ever milk a cow?" asks the boss.
 Boss, I never saw cow"
 T used to milk 20 of them twice day. There's nothing better than warm milk with the foam still on."
 Not even the foam on beer?" T don't know, says Big Jake. T never drink the stuff"
 Big Jake draWls: "The boys say I'm gonna get plenty if I ain't careful"
 T wouldn't worry none if I was you, boss"
 T don't look like I'm breaking under the strain, do I?"
 You, sure don't, boss"
 Big Jake owns the place.
 Two customers rise and call for their checks. As they go out anoth- CT comes in. He is the only cash customer in the place. One of the walters puts down his glass and moves across to the new arrival.

 Good night, Chief" the waiter calls.
 Good night, Jake" the other echoes.
 Hey, sirloin rare, potatoes" calls the first waiter to the cook.
 The boss says good night.
 He picks up newspaper and shoves it into the side pocket of his coat.
 At the door he hesitates, starts to leave, turns back:
 "Mikel"
 Sure, boss" the first waiter an- Swers.
 How much tin in the sack?"
 Maybe maybe a little more"
 When Big Jake says tin he means dough.
 "The usual thing, Mike.'
 Sure, Boss" Mike answers. This means that Mike will make out a slip with the correct amount of money on it, put it with the coin in sack, then dump the sack into the night repository at the bank on an adjacent corner.
 Anything else, boss?"
 That's all; night"
 Good night, boss" says Mike.
 In Split Second
 Big Jake strolls to the doorway and pauses for second fumbling for cigarette.
 In the space of split-second he leaps from his apparent easy-going lethargy and tries to duck back into the restaurant.
 But Big Jake is not fast enough. In that split-second there is the stutter of a muted machine gun. Big Jake sags, goes down in his own doorway, paving at the side walk.
 A high-powered automobile zooms away in the gloom.

 The time has come for a return of Sparta, Il Duce maintains. In his own words, he wants to make Italy a "War-like and militaristic" country.
 Men of the fascist school hold up his speech, made from the top of a tank at the recent army maneu- vers, as a turning point in post war psychology. On that occasion he called for his new military na- tiOn.

Military Needs Put First

Only the old democratic school is afraid of words, his press de- clared. Call spade a spade" is the sense of it's recommendation to Italy. When some papers hesi- tated to use the word "militaristic" in commenting on the Duces speech his own Popolo d'Italia called them to task.
 "Militaristic, it said, lis ex- actly the word that was intended. It added:
 "Militaristic doctrines, nations
 and peoples are those which
 subordinate all their collective
 and individual, material and
 moral life to their military
 needs"
 Then Mussolini proceeded to the supreme stroke. He decreed com pulsory military service for all Italians between the ages of 8 and 33. This is believed to be one of the most sweeping military laws in history.
 When he is 8 years old the fas- cist boy enters the balilla organi- zation, where he is prepared "splr- itually, physically and muitarily" for service in the regular armed forces.
