Remington, N. j., Feb. 7-(R,-The
defense Of Bruno Richard Haupt-
mann brought q boy with q plane
into court Thursday in an effort to
refute the ladder evidence BY which
the state seeks to connect flaupt.
mann with the kidnapping ana muir
der Of baby Charles A. Lindbergh, Jr.
The youth used plane with pen
ellis in q demonstration to show that
hicks in = plane blade would change
their relationships according to the
angle the plane was held In use. A
similar demonstration, designed to
show that the marks Of Hauptmann,s
plane were on the kidnap ladder, was
given for the state by government
wood expert.
The defense demonstration followed
its pursuit Of . hint that part OF
the ladder evidence was framed"
with DR.. E. M. Hudson, amateur fin
gerprint expert Of New York, testi-
flying that three important, incrim-
mating nailholes In the ladder were
not in existence when he examined It.
Want Dress Model Recalled
Tho defense also sought to recall
Eildegard Olga Alexander, the Bronx
dress model who testified for the
xtate that she saw Hauptmaun
shadowing DR.. John +. (Jafsie) Con-
don in the Bronx during tho period
Of the Lindbergh ransom negotiations.
Or. Condor was the intermediary for
Colonel Charles A. Lndbergh.
She was not In court. The state
had been ordered to call her back,
and the attorney general promised to
discuss the matter with the defense
later.
Henry Uhlig, close friend Of the
late Isador F1sch, gave the defense
little help In its effort to show that
Fisch, not Hauptmann, got the $50..
600 ransom money. The defense con-
tended he was hostile witness. An
other alibi witness also testified for
Hauptmann. Walter Manley, . Bronx
painter, said Hauptmann was In q
bakery in the Bronx on the evening
of March /, 1882. when the Lindbergh
baby was stolen more than 60 miles
away at Hopewell, N. J.
The defenSe's plane demonstration
was given by Stanley Seal, . young
pattern maker.
Expert Fails 70 Qualify
The defense failed to qualify Hugh
Orr, an architect Of Brockton, Mass,
as a wood expert and his examination
was brief.
Charles J. De Bisschop, q contractor
Of Waterbury, Conn.,, told the court,
IN examination Of his qualifications,
shat he had matched grains In wood

CHICAGO, october 2.-More ac-

$l.35 a hundred pounds below the
1895 peak Of $12.25, reached less than
month ago.
Early sales today were around 10
cents higher, the best price being
$ll. The sharp break of hog val
ueS within a week occurred despite the
smallest September receipts here
since 1872.
Yesterdays top price of $1,000,
brought quotations below the $11
mark tor the first time since July.
Average prices in Chicago were
around $40. compared with S11.l5
a week ago and only Sc year ago.
The Chicago stockyards reported
that while September live stock re-
ceipts were the highest since Jan
uary, due to seasonal movements, the
total set new low record for Sep
tember since 1872. The yards have
been operating at the present site
since 1865.
Receipts of all live stock for Sep
tember were 11,456 carloads, COM
pared with 17,128 a year ago and

In certain producing districts, said

Of automobile interests in buying for

verse influence on operations. In the
aggregate, however, the automotive

demand from other sources, has con-
tributed to speeding up of activity
in number of producing centers."
steel mills will probably not feel
the full impetus of the new model re-
quirements of motor car makers for
another two weeks. The rise in de-
mand from that quarter should offset
any subsistence of bookings following

The Scouts JambOree.

Following special conference of pub
lie health authorities yesterday an
nouncement was made that there is no
occasion to cancel the "jamboree" of the
Boy Scouts which has been scheduled
for August 2130 in this city. Fears had
been expressed lest this gathering Of
youngsters, estimated at IS 900 in num-
ber, would cause dangerous spread of
poliomyelitis, commonly known as in
fantile paralysis, which is now somewhat
rife in certain States nearby and to
some extent in the District. After a full
survey of the situation, however, those
comforting, eminent in the study Of
disease and in part representing the
areas affected, concluded that the risk
of infection was too slight to justify
change of the program.
If there were such prevalence of this
dread disease in and around washington
as to constitute menace to the health
and possibly the lives of the Boy Scouts
certainly the great assemblage of the
organization should not be held. In no
manner or degree should there be any
invitation to an epidemic spread. The
Judgment of those at yesterdays confer
ence is that there is no such danger.
The "jamboree" is certain to be most
carefully conducted, in circumstances
and with equipment Of inspection cal
culated to lessen to negligible point the
possibility of contagion.
The Boy Scouts are trained in obedi-
ence to regulations and are exceptionally
amenable to discipline. That they win
conform to all the rules Of sanitation
during their big meeting is assured That

American Roadways.

Coming back to the United States from
foreign climes, the average American, 1t
would seem, cannot fail to notice the
disorderly condition of land abutting
upon the common highways of travel.
In no European country would he ever
see such untidy confusion. Perhaps a
characteristic aspect of the national
mind is disclosed by the waste repre-
sented. Less rich communities simply
cannot afford to discard so many po-
tentially useful materials. An old auto
mobile in Germany, for example, would
be reduced to its basic elements and
refaDricated; but the values represented
PROBABLY 90 not appear to be worth
the trouble in America
Also the matter of civic pride is
involved. The typical Britisher loves
his home town too keenly to be willing
to have 1t surrounded with public dumps
lor tne convenience of lazy citizens. He
keeps his own house and garden neat
anu cieah ana expects his neighbors 10
do likewise. One explanation of his
attitude perhaps, is his conviction that
landscape is salable commodity-no
tourist, he knows, wishes to Journey to
Canterbury, Oxford or Stratford through
wilderness of discarded tin cans, aban-
doned furniture and weeds.
The ubiquitous billboard customarily
is banned abroad for similar reasons.
II is understood that the pilgrim from
the West has not come to europe to
ride through miles of battered hoardings

OF commercial products. The purpose

scious and deliberate effort is made

tions nave been made for it, with their
camping sites carefully chosen and with

previous occasions, would be deplorable
and requisite only in the face of a greater
menace than that which has been feared

These boys will come 10 the "jamboree"

Firefly consultations" are described
by Gerrit S. Miller, jr., curator of man.
mails of the Smithsonian Institution, in
a communication to Science.
The Synchronous flashing of large
numbers of these insects in a given area
has often been described 1t is one of
the spectacular phenomena of insect
life. Apparently nearly all the flreflies
over field will flash and darken stimuli
taneously for several minutes at time.
The phenomenon is perhaps most spec
tacular when it takes the form of the
flashing trees" of the tropics when a
row of trees sometimes as much as a
quarter of a mile long will alternately
flash and become dark.
Numerous efforts have been made to
explain the phenomenon. but none has
been accepted as entirely satisfactory.
Mr.. Miller thinks that no one explana-
ton will fit all cases. He saw firef1y
consultations in Jamaica, where the in
sects occurred in great aggregations. He
describes them as conStellationlike
groups of from 20 to 40 simultaneously
flashing insects forming and disintegrat-
ing at different points among the large
and active flrefiy population then on the
wing. The flashes were of short dura-
ton and at the rate of about 20 a
minute. The consultations formed 10
to 25 feet above the ground. On of them
would remain clearly defined for two or
three minutes, slowly drifting along.
Only insects of a single constellation
flashed simultaneously Several groups
existing at the same time flashed indie
pendently of each other. Also, there
always were few insects in the area of
the constellation" which did not take
part in the synchronous f1ashings, but
flashed independently.
Mr.. Miller offers no explanation of the
phenomenon.
