ARROWS ARE MADE; GOOSE,
TURKEY FEATHERS USED
AfroWs are made from either
birch or pine doWels, carefully
selected fer straight grain and
spine" Spine Is a combination
Of stiffness and resilisney,
which every good arrow must
possess. A metal point or head
is attached to one end OF the
shaft to prevent Its splitting
when 1t strikes the target or the
ground, and a mock is cut on the
other end large enough to At the
bowstring.
Fetching or feathering is the
most important step in the MAX
ing OF an arrow, states writer
in the New York Times, because
the feathers contribute greatly
to the accuracy of the shaft.
Three goose or turkey feathers
from the same side of the bird
are used for each arrow They
are spit ana cut into equal sec
tions, their size depending upon
the purpose for which the arrow
is Observation-Disclosures for target,
flight or field shooting. One OF
the feather sections, usually
stained in some gay color, is
glued on the shaft at right an
giles to the mock and is called
the "cock" feather. The other
two sections are glued at an an
gle of 100 degrees to the cock
feather, making each equidis-
tant from the other
After the feathers are neatly
trimmed, the shaft is painted
V th waterproof paint of bright
1lor to enable it to be seen in
e field or brush.

How Fish Maintain Balance

The question of maintaining its
balance by fish is one which de-
pends largely on fins. The limbs or
appendages are both balancing and
steering organs in the great major
ity of the typical fishes. The in
ternal ear of fish is concerned with
hearing and equilibrium. Some BIZ
ologists are of the opinion that the
air bladder, an organ of some fishes
analogous to the lungs of air-breath-
ing animals, also takes part in the
equilibrium.

neSses, the aSSailant was roughly treated. One man said:
 "fle was attacked on ell sides and flung to the ground but police forced their way through and pulled him to his feet. They had great trou- ble forcing him through the crowd. People were in a frenzy, shouting and gesticulating. The man also shouted and struggled"
 A woman holiday maker from Brighton told the press that her husband took a photograph of the king as the revolver was hurled-she was one of those who insisted 1t was thrown-and that he was taken to the police station.
 T don't know where he Is now" she said.
 Amazing scenes occurred in cen. tral London when newsboys ap. peared with large placards suggest ing an attack on the kings life.
 People snatched for the papers and the vendors were sold out inmedi- ately. Small crowds gathered back of those lucky enough to get papers, and read over their shoulders.
 In the house of commons, the home secretary, Sir John Simon, who is responsible for the protection of the king, expressed the governments thankfulness that the risk to which HiE Majesty was exposed was promptly averted,"
 Londoners Shocked
 Londoners were shocked by the attempt on their popular monarch.
 In response to 0 question from Clement R. Attlee, labor leader, Simon made c statement in the same words aS that of Scotland Yard. He said that when the man appeared in Bow street, he probably would be remanded for further examination.
 Londoners were impressed by the fac; that the attempt occurred only 6 few minutes after his stirring speech, to the Guards, flower of the British army, in which he said: "f5u. Tianity cries out for peace"
 The incident tends to heighten the popular alarm, which Is already con- siderable because Of the European o1JuHbiOH uAiu tAlC NAkAVoV QdAiy 4A0 sistence of the government on the necf to re.arn1.
 Is Favorite Spot
 Constitution Hill, the short, tree- lined avenue alongside Buckingham Palace, seems to be e favorite place for assailants. Both Edward VII and Queen Victoria were involved in nlis. sle-throwing incidents there. The most recent incident involving roy- alty was when e drunken man threw @ beer bottle Into the royal car when King George was touring the 6cot- tish mining districts in 1884.
 The man gave his name aJ George Andrew Mahon of London. He was remanded for eight days for further hearing.
 He is partially crippled, middle aged and slightly bald. He described himself as @ journalist"
 He was charged with unlawful possession of firearms with intent to endanger life"
 His lawyer said Mahon most em- phatically denied any atetmpt at assassination or desire to assas- sinate.

Father Coughlln Speaks


 Father Coughlin Speaks i With Smith and pr. Townsenl looking on, Father Coughlln Spoks after the conference for the newly formed coalition. 7
 "All of us," he said, "are out against the unholy trinity of Roose- welt, Landon end Browder (the communist candidate for president. !. All of us will work for William, Lemke."
 Smith and Coughlin already are pledged to Lernke. Townsend con- vcntlon leaders, however, have de- termined that this convention shall not endorse any presidential ca1di- date.
 They are attempting to discourage partisan speeches and keep the dele gates minds centered upon their legislative cbjective-enactment O the Townsend Plan.
 Loose Arrangement
 The Coughlin- -Townsend. .Smitli coalition appeared to be loose in formal arrangement subject t change any time during the cam paign. Townsend told questioncr before the convention that he O.: pected to vote for Gov, Ali M. Lar don If delegates here failed to CT dorse any other candidate.
 There have been whispers here C Q transforming tour by the thre leaders and Lemke during the cam paign to include Philadelphia, Ne Orleans and Kansas City. Townsen' was uncertain today whether h would appear in these cities.
 While pr. Townsend and Fathe' Coughlin were making campaign plans for Lermke, the first Conven- ton speaker, Willis Mahoney O. Oregon, was pleading that the con vention remain non-partisan.
 MahOmey Draws Cheers
 Mahoney is c democratic caadi date for the senate in oregon an! is among Townsendites who wer. disturbed yesterday by the Rev Ger. L. K. Smiths attack on the demo cratic party.
 He drew will cheers with tht statement:
 "The Townsend organization is not a partisan organization. This IS no place to drag in party politics, Our program is legislative and itS object is enactment of the Town send Plan. We want republican votes as well as democratic votes and we are not going to get mixed up in a partisan fight"

the war he began final preparations in his training to be king.
 World Traveller
 He visited nearly every country in the world, travelling in ell about 2O0,. 900 miles or eight times around the world. AS deputy for his father he visited the colonies and dcminions, opened exhibitions, gave speeches.
 Edward grew into middle-age but he still retained his title of the "bachelor prince" He showed no signs of courting any of the vanish- ing European princeSses. As king, although rumorS have been many connecting him with one or another, there still is no definite indication that he will have queen to share his throne.
 Attempts on Queens Life
 London, July le.-(UP)-Five as. sasSination attempts were made on Queen Victoria, great-grandmother of King Edward VIII, who ruled for GA years.
 Edward oxford tried to kill the young queen on June 10, le40 His attempt was followed by another by John Francis on March 90, le42. A man named Bean made another at. tack on July 3i of the same year. William Hamilton attempted to end Victoria's life on May 10, le49, and @ fifth attempted assassination took place on March 2, 1882, when R. MacLean tried to kill the queen.
 The present kings grandfather, Edward VII, also was subjected to an assassination attempt. Two years before his ascension to the throne, when he was visiting Brussels in De- cenber, 1899, as Prince of Wales, an anarchist named Sipido attempted to kill him.
 Britain's history is comparatively free of royal assassinations and the majority of those committed have been due to dynastic differences or dissension in the ruling class itself.
 In 97s, Edward the Martyr was assassinated as the first of the royal kings of that name to be attacked. Edward II was killed by the barons in 1927. One of the little tower princes, Edward V, was killed in l483.
 An attempt was made on the life of William III in 1896 but proved unsuccessful. George III, the British ruler who was on the throne ct the time of the American Revolution, twice was subjected to the attempts of assassinS. Margaret Nicholson tried to kill him on Aug. 2, i786, and James Hatfield also made an attack on George III on March IS, 1900. An assassin tried to kill George " on Jan. i8, 1877.

 Father Coughlin's appearance shared convention interest today with q schedule otherwise centered upon Q challenge to the house of representatives investigation of the Townsend plan. Three orators will tell the story Q the delegates.
 Argue On Platform
 There is c movement under way to argue on the platform that Presi- dent Roosevelt was not responsible for the investigation. That Is part of the plan to offset the anti-demo- cratic trend O. developments 50 far. Both major parties have been criticized but the new deal has talk. en the most blows.
 Townsend clubs increased from 4,000 to 5000 in the past nine months, National Secretary Gilmour Young reported to the convention, and the organization has added D. 233 clubs since April il. The plan is to enroll 6,000,O00 new members be. fore the election.
 Auditor George E. West of Chi- cago told delegates to contribute to congressional candidates campaign funds.
 "If you don't furnish the money, you don't own the candidate" Wes. said. Put up the funds and you own him."
 No Fusion Wanted Southern states joined the anti merger block today. Acting Chair man B. J. Cohen of 6 solid south caucus announced his delegates had voted against "any form of fusion with . third party at this time.
 T would have replied to Rev Smith immediately after he spoke, Chairman Smith said, If he had not turned at the close of his ad- dress and hauled the doctor Crown send) out of his chair to shake hands with Lin. That action made immediately reply inappropriate.
 Sheridan Downey and I and number of others will reply to those attacks on Roosevelt because this should be a non-partisan movement and that is what it will remain this year. Democrats have been high ur in the Townsend organization from the beginning.
 Gerald Smith," the other Smith continued, charged that the preSi- dent was responsible for the house investigation of the Towngend move ment. I know the whole story about that. I am going to defend Mir Roosevelt against that charge. Hl knew nothing about the plan to per secute Doctor Townsend. Won't stand For Smith
 we won't have to stand for the kind of speech Rev. Smith made There will be plenty said from thu floor to prove this Is non-partisAr movement"
 Addressing the convention yester. day, Gerald Smith fiayed the new deal and told how he persuaded pr Townsend to bolt the house conven. ton and escorted him from thu hearing room threatening to sock any who blocked the way.

By riddine himself of his unattractive wife, Applegate hoped to free hitn- self to marry Mrs. Oreightons lo- year-old daughter, Ruth, whom he had seduced after he tired Of inti' macies with her mother.
 Acquitted Years Ago
 Tn 1923 Mrs. Creighton and her husband were acquitted of two arsenic murders ip Newark, N. J. In each case the circumstances were similar to those in Mrs. ApplegateS s death. Mrs. Creighton has been bed- ridden in her death house cell for weeks. She has eaten little and her legs seem to be paralyzed. At times she apparently has been speeches. and has resoYted to notes to commit nicate with guards. When GOV Lehman, who has the sole power tc save her, heard that her last walk to the execution chamber would probably be in the arms of prison guards, he appointed g commission of four doctors and his own person al attorney to examine her. The commission reported to the governor in positive language that there was mo evidence of organized disease of the central nervous system or of the body as . whole"
 Condition Is Reaction
 "Her condition" the report con- cluded, lis the reaction to the sit- uation in which sine finds herself. Mrs. Creighton Is the only woman occupant of the death house.
