Austrian Blind Will Be
Aided by Yankee Couple

Vienna.-Through the efforts of Mr..
and Mrs. Rufus Graves Mather of
New York city Austria soon will
have its own lighthouse for the
blind.
When the Austrian Lighthouse is
founded it will be the eleventh car
ing for the blinded poor of four
continents, the North and South
Americas, the Far East, and Eu-
rope.
Mrs. Mather, the former Winifred
Holt of charity fame In New York,
has interested Princess Fanny Star
hemberg, Austria's vice chancellor,
in the scheme.
1t is proposed to organize the
Astrian Lighthouse at Lillenfeld,
where the blinded poor from all
parts of Austria can gather to learn
new trades. 1t will be conducted
on similar lines to the blind insti-
tutions established in New York,

LIQUOR TAXES
SHOW INCREASE
Twelve Millions Taken In BY
Federal Government
For July
GAIN OVER LAST YEAR

Washington.-The nations liquor
bill is going upi
People are drinking more, the
heavy flow of smuggled stock has
narrowed to a comparative trickle,
tax receipts from liquors are mount
ing, and everybody's happy.
At least that's the picture drawn
by treasury officials after studying
reports showing July receipts from
taxes on domestic distilled spirits
totaled $12,156,659, an increase of
$4,740,1S3 over a year ago.
Revenue officials ascribed the in
crease to two causes, expansion of
the nations wet area and the gov
ernment's relentless war on rum
runners.
Within the last year nine states,
previously dry, have lined up be-
hind the wet banner. They are Ar
kansas, Idaho, Nebraska, part of
North Carolina, South Carolina,
South Dakota, Utah, West Virginia
and Wyoming.
Success of the drive against rum
smuggling is laid in large measure
to understandings reached between
this and other governments on
means to halt the flow of illicit
liquor.
Cuba, source of a vast share of
the untaXed liquor which has been
pouring into the United States, was
prevailed upon to put an embargo
on expectation of alcohol destined
for Illicit traffic Newfoundland a
short time later took similar steps
to regulate her ports and the
French government closed st.
Pierre ct Miquelon, a French colony
off the Newfoundland coast, as a
liquor supply center.
Besides the coast guard has sue
ceeded in all but breaking up the
new rum row off the Atlantic coast.
On a basis of 50 tax per gallon,
officials estimated 6,053,32S gallons
of alcohol, worth at retail close to
$60,000,000, was withdrawn from
bonded warehouses last month for
consumption. This compares with
3,70S, ,237 gallons withdrawn in the
same period a year ago.

Plan to Compile Most

Henry and a committee aim to

The most complete Of all the Horace
books in the United States and

In his studies Henry has noted
that there have been at least 1000
known editions of Horace during
the years 1865 to 1900, More than
1000 Of these were printed in the
Nineteenth century.
Scholars Of Mainz, Germany,
stepped ahead Of those Of Horace's
birthplace, it seems. Editions of his

1865 and 1466, but a Horace work.

Rome until 1471.
Records show at least 81 incuna-
bula editions of Horace, that is,
editions put out before the time Of
the printing press. according to
Henry. He has reported his study

Hula Wiggles Preserve
Language of Hawaiians

Honolulu.-GeOrge Paele Moss
man, whose father was a Scotch
hardware merchant and mother a
full-blooded Hawaiian, has under
way plan to preserve the Ha-
waiian language through the wiggle
of the hula.
MOssman has 1.jOO interpreters
trained in the wavy native dance
by his daughters, Piilani (Rising to
Nobility and Paulani (Flower of
Heaven. This, he figures, is a
start.
Before he is through, which the
forty-four-year-o:d professor" hopes
won't be until he dies, Mossman
wants to multiply that number at
least by five. ''Then whenever
these people 90 with the hula, all
over the world. Hawaii will go
with Them" he said.
This articulation of the Hawaiian
tongue through the medium Of mu-
sic and motion is the fruit of long
study. For years he brOOded over
the historic tragedy of the vanish
ing Hawaiian race, the crumbling of
their rich Polynesian customs and
the death of their language.
Then Mossman thought of the
hula, wherein as the sideshow bark
er said. every little movement has
a meaning all its own" Symbolic.
like most native dances, the hula
(never the hula-hula) tells a story.
One wiggle can mean a whole SEN
tence or just an exclamation point.

FORESTS HIT BY
BLACK BEETLES
Black Hills Bark Beetles Are
Now Threatening Denver,
Colorado, Area
&C FIGHT THE PESTS

Denver.-Black Hills bark beetles
are threatening the national for
ests of the Rocky mountain region.
Already thousands of acres of prime
timber have been destroyed and
the woodland beauty of Yellowstone
and Grand Teton national parks in
wyoming and the Rocky Mountain
National park and three government
forests in Colorado have been
threatened. Forest rangers and 500
CCC workers are fighting the pest.
The Black Hills bark beetle, black
and about quarter of an inch in
length and half that size in width,
bores into the inner bark of pine
trees and makes a passageway YER
tically from Is to As inches in
length along which eggs are laid.
When the larvae hatch they pro-
ceed to encircle the tree and cut
off the flow of sap.
First indications of the presence
of the beetles are small amounts of
sawdust at the foot of the trees and
balls of pitch on the bark, both
caused by the entrance of the
beetles into the timber.
Emerge in Summer.
During the fall and winter the
beetles make their entrance and
lay their eggs. They emerge dur
ing the summer and cannot be cap
tured until they are trapped in the
galleries where they lay their eggs.
The main and most successful
method of treatment is that of ex-
posure, in which the larvae and
eggs both succumb. determination
work consists of the stripping of
the bark down to the wood of the
infected trees, and where the in
sects are of such numbers as to
overcome the resistance of the tree
orders are issued for its destruc-
ton.
An interesting feature noted dur
ing the work is how the trees them
selves have STAYED off attacks. The
resistance of a normally healthy
pine, which is shown by its flow of
pitch, has been strong enough in
some cases to wash the beetles from
the egg galleries.
Many Trees Destroyed.
Since the work began, more than
100000 acres in the two states have
been secured by rangers and CCC
men. 1t has been necessary to
cut and burn 65,725 trees, and
at the same time more than 100000
have been treated, according to Col.
A. S. Peck, regional forester here.
After region has been thoroughly
covered, a second check is made
by foresters. An indication of the
efficiency of the warfare against
the pest is shown by the fact that
in every three sections of about
10000 acres only six or eight in
fected trees are found on the aver
age.
1t has been estimated by the
United States forestry office here
that at the rate the beetles were re-
producing and spreading, the val
liable timbered lands of this section
would have been turned into bar
ren and desolate wastelands with
in three years had not efforts been
undertaken to stamp them out.
