His argument stems from his fight
with Dave Lillienthal, another In.
diana boy who made good. but in
the New Deal with T. v. A. Willkie
fought T. v. A. because it invaded
his Tennessee public utility zone. He
argued there's no soap for either
consumer, government, or private
corporation If you have two sets of
power plants and power lines serving
the same communities.
And in the heat of the fight, with
Congress pouring more and more
millions into T. v. A.. he proposed to
sell out. Suspicious, New Dealers
took deep breath, backed a ma
tional power policy committee and
renewed the scrap.
Eventually, they decided Willkie
meant business. Thus Wendell

North Pacific Charted
For Commerce or War

SEATTLE.-The floor Of the North
Pacific ocean, with it's deep valleys
and 10000 crags, Is the site Of un-
precedented activity by the United
States coast and geodetic survey.
Rear Adm. L. o. Colbert, survey
director, explained here that charts
Of the Alaskan coastline held signifi-
canoe both in war and peace.
Few persons realize the strate-
gic importance of the Aleutian is
lands" Admiral Colbert declared.
''They extend almost a thousand
miles to the westward Of Alaska,
ending only six hundred miles from
Japan"
Since the navy has increased its
operations in Alaska, he said, the
survey has sent five vessels to Sc
attic. A sixth vessel, the 81, $50, 900
survey ship Explorer. will be added
to the fleet next spring upon compile
ton here.
1t will be seven more years, the
admiral said, before the Aleutian
islands are charted. An undersea
mountain more than 10000 feet high
was discovered in that area within
recent weeks. The same survey
showed valley "a miles long ex-
tending parallel to the islands.
I'm the Bering sea there are 750,.
600 miles Of unsurveyed area" the
survey director stated. South of
the Aleutian islands an ocean do
main the size Of the State of Wash
ington waits to be charted."
The main task Of the survey, he
said, was to protect waterborne COM
merce from undersea hazards-in
war or peace.

Travel in United States
Near Record Proportions

WASHINGTON. - Travel in the
United States has approached rec
ord-breaking proportions this year,
but attendance at many national
parks has been sharply reduced, ac-
cording to figures released by the
department of interior.
The American Automobile associ.
alton attributed the increased travel
to the New York and San Fran
cisco world fairs, and blamed the
drop in park attendance to an in
crease in the number of parks
charging fees for admission, auto.
mobiles, motorcycles and guides.
Parks where such fees are charged
for the first time this year, reported
that in the 10 months ending July
81, 1,612,477 persons visited there
parks compared with 1,757, ,227 in the
same period last year, or q drop of
80 per cent.
Attendance at parks where fees
had been charged in previous years
but were unchanged by this years
ruling totaled 1,671 1,622, as compared
to 1,499, 149, or an increase of lis
per cent over last year. However,
parks still free of all charges gained
1877 per cent for that period, with
an aggregate total Of 1,112, 993 for
1889 and 929,8 ,818 in 1888.

full Lite in England.

LONDON.-Charlie Turpin, who
was once cowboy in Canada and
Texas. and soldier in the World war,
now Is hermit.
Eight years ago he established
himself in his present home, an
earthen cage, near the banks Of the
River Story at Harlow, Essex.
It took him an hour and half to
dig his home. He furnished 1t with
bunk and a stove. For orna-
ments he has scores of curios col
lected in all parts Of the world.
He is known locally as Charlie
the Hermit.
Nell. his dog, helps him by CATCH
ing wild fowl. A small pension from
war wound is his income.
This 65-year-old ex-public school
boy began his travels as sailor In
the royal navy. Then he went to
America and became a cowboy.
Once in Alberta he was rounding
up herd Of stampeding cattle when
his mustang reared and threw him.
His kneecap was smashed. But there
were no doctors and so the knee did
not heal perfectly.
Turpin was one Of the first re-
cruits of the Canadian expeditionary
forces in 1914. He was severely
wounded, gassed and shell-shocked.
After the war he went to Austria
liza, where he worked in the mines
for two years.
Then he slowed away on a ship
and came to England-to be a her.

War Toughens Mans Job
OF Protecting Horses

LONDON.-Wars and crises have
greatly increased the work of a
Briton who has devoted AZ years to
protection of animals in Italy. Since
1887 he has directed his work from
London nursing home. Commen-
datore Leonard Hawksley receives a
large subsidy from the Italian gov-
ernment. Italy is short of horses
due to the wars in Ethiopia and
Spain. Wherever possible they are
used instead Of motor trucks, be-
cause gasoline is 80 cents a gallon.
Horses are being worked to death,
he says, and others are being
starved through lack of fodder.

Bomb and Mine
War Scourges
Destructive Twins Most
Important Weapons in
Modern Warfare.

WASHINGTON. - Aerial bombs
and sea mines-two Of the most po-
tent scourges during the World war
are an even more important mill
tary factor now, in the view OF mill
tary experts here.
The use Of bombs by the German
air force played a dominant role
in the swift conquest Of Poland.
Great Britain and France are de-
pending on mines as a vital part Of
their strategy to stretch sea block
ade that will bring about the eco
nomic collapse Of Germany.
In both weapons world powers
have made major strides in devel-
opment since the World war. Ex-
perts believe that prolongation Of
the present conflict will add still
further to their perfection as agents
of death and destruction.
Two Types Of Bombs Used.
High-speed, multiengined bombing
planes, for example, now carry
loads of huge demolition bombs to-
falling from 5000 to 10000 pounds
on long-range flying missions de-
signed to cripple strategic centers
or industries.
Broadly speaking, military pow
ers employ two types of bombs in
modern warfare-demolition and
fragmentation. The demolition
bombs, filled with TINT, are de-
signed to destroy property and mill
tary detectives such as factories,
air bases, railroad stations and
forts. -p-rCr
They are usually equipped with
time fuses so that after being
dropped they can penetrate before
exploding, thus insuring greater de-
struction. Some are fixed so that
they explode on impact with an OBJ
ject. Sizes of these bombs, which
are guided to their destination by
so-called ''fins" similar to the
feather on an arrow, range from Is
POUNDS 10 Z,UUU.
A 2,00O-pound bomb, experts be-
lieve, has sufficient demolition pow.
er to accomplish terrific damage.
Principles and sizes of bombs used
by the leading powers are broadly
the same. The United States army
air corps, for example, uses demoli-
ton missiles Of rs, so, 100. 300, 600,
l,100 and 1000 pounds.
Explode on Impact.
The augmentation bombs, which
are similar to an artillery shell, are
usually much smaller. They are de-
signed to explode on impact with
the ground, hurl splinters over wide
areas, and are usually employed
only in raids on personnel such as
troop concentrations.
The size Of the bomb load depends
on the lifting power of plane. One
Of the United States army's huge,
four-motored flying fortresses" last
August lifted an 11,000-pound load
to $1,000 feet, inasmuch as it was
not carrying gasoline for long
fight, the load would be less in
case it were assigned to distant
mission. Smaller aircraft carry pro.
portionately lesser loads.
Like aerial bombs, construction
Of marine mines by different nations
follow somewhat similar patterns.
The mines, usually loaded with
several hundred pounds of high ex.
plosives, are designed to sink even
heavily armored warships. Thus,
their explosive effect on merchant
ships usually causes destruction in
event of contact

Gold Is Mined Easy Way
Without Pick or Shovel

MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA
Kenneth Bennett, shopkeeper of
Creswick, has given up golf for
gold mining.
His mine is on piece Of land he
owns just outside the town. AS
mining is only his hobby. he does
not believe in making hard work of
it, and he has worked out the follow
ing system:
Go out to the mine, put a stick of
gelignite in the bottom Of it, climb
out and wait for the bang, and climb
in again and pick up the pieces.
No pick and shovel work about
that. The other week he brought
up nugget worth $3.50.
