Johns Hopkins University, by one
American authors.
DR.. Wood is one of the best known,
best beloved and most learned and
skillful of American scientists.
About Washington he is a we'll
known figure from his frequent ap-
pearances at scientific gatherings.
DR.. Wood combines a deep un-
derstanding of mathematical physics
with a mechanical genius and by
means of these attributes he has
been able to make some of the
major contributions of the age to
his branch of science. His latest is
the accurately ruled diffractlon
grating which an imaginative re-
porter, at the National Academy Of
Sciences meeting last spring, re-
ferred to as space ship because
of the new light it throws on the
chemical composition of celestial
objects
Mr.. Seabrook writes biography
worthy of its subject. He paints
DR.. Wood as an intensely human
character, a practical joker on a
big scale and, withal, kindly and
lovable gentleman.

The KremIin and the People
By Walter Duranty. Reync
& Hitchcock, NeD York.

& Hitchcock, NeD York.
In this book Mr.. Duranty under
takes to breast the current of Amerl-
can opinion and the great weight
of past testimony to prove that
the Stalinist regime in Russia has
been an era of good will and lnno-
cence. His work merely moves one
to the reflection that 1t is an en-
barrassing thing for a government
to justify its positions on moral
grounds unless it is confident that
the positions will never alter. For
moral principles have a way OF re-
naming unchanged. They do not
take color from circumstances. They
are not subject to expediency.
Mr.. Duranty, however, is not dis
mayed by his task. He takes for
his starting point the fact that
most Americans believe that Lenin
planned a regime of justice and
proceeds from this to declare that
Stain. in everything, has been
guided by Lenin's teachings. He
disposes of the fact, brought out
bv Max Eastman, that Lenin repu-
dated Stain in his will; he does
this by saying that he just does not
care what Mr.. Eastman says He
is certain that his own opinion is
right and documents to the con-
trary do not matter.
He then takes up the famous
trials of the old BolSheviks, and
asserts that the sensational con
fessions" were true. In two cases
he heard these confessions deliv-
cred. and. he says, that was enough
for him. That was proof. And so on

Rumors of Gold Hoard Draw

The large stone house that he
built here served as his base Of
operations.
The so-called Mystic Brotherhood,
at first simply a Negro and horse
stealing outfit, became so powerful
that Murrell determined to use 1t
as a nucleus for pretended insur-
rection of slaves to blackmail
plantation owners. The Brotherhood
held shrouded midnight gatherings
and the members swore dreadful
oaths Of fealty, sealed with their
own blood. Members were said to be
in every hamlet and town along
the Trace and the Lower Mississip-
pi.
In January, 1884. Murren brought
new recruit to the swamp hide

Stewart. Stewart, according to his

Murrell because Of the gangs theft

which will mean more than 40 bill
lion cups for the United States alone
is just now getting under way in
Brazil particularly in its state of
Sac Paulo.
From mid-May until well into
August the only thought of the
people there is that great crop. And
no sooner is one crop out of the way
than the Paulistas, as the residents
of the state are known. turn their
thoughts again to coffee and the
prospects of the next years harvest.
Even though coffee has been
Brazil's main export for years. few
travellers have ever visited the heart
of the coffee belt. Today, however,
only a two-hour trip off the beaten
track will take one to Campinas. in
the midst of that region and at the
very door of some of the great IA
Zendas, or ranches, for its produc-
ton.
The most striking feature of the
Cam. has region is its soil. which is
a deep brick red. This terra roxa"
is particularly suited to the growing
of coffee. The trees are planted in
large fields, somewhat as orange
trees are in Florida and California.
The soil is kept cultivated and the
trees allowed to grow only to a
height of 10 or II feet. At harvest
time they are covered with small
red berries, which give the trees
the appearance of Christmas holly.
These berries are gathered by
hand and on the great faZendas
carried to a central place by small
railroads. There the pulp which
covers them is removed by machin-
cry and they are washed and finally
placed to dry on brick drying floors.
The floors are built out of doors and
often cover thousands of square
feet. After drying coffee needs only
final polishing and roasting before
it is ready for North American cups.

iards who came after Columbus
captured thousands of the Indians
and made slaves of them, prac-
tically depopulating the sunny lit
tie islands. BY the time the English
came to coloniZe, the Lucayans had
disappeared.
One explanation for the stubborn
story about Andres lost race Is
that years ago some Seminole In
dians from nearby Florida may
have migrated to the Bahamas, at
traced by tales of the islands fer
tile beauty. Perhaps some African
slaves, who had never looked upon

these Seminoles and spread the tale.

Until some one decides to deny or

Lost Race Legend
Still Intrigues
| Bahama Visitors

NASSAU, New Providence, Ba-
hamas, May 3.-The fascinating tale
about the lost race of light-skinned
Indians who inhabit the interior
of mysterious Andres Island, 20
miles from this sophisticated vaca-
ton resort, is still a good story to
tell over cocktails on q moonlit ter
race, but informed Bahamians say
there's never been any evidence to
support the yarn.
Despite the inability of curious Wis
itors to find any one who has
actually seen the shy tribe which
has given rise to so many legends
for years, the story still persists
that somewhere IN the wild interior
of Andres the last of the Indians
who once populated these islands
still cling to their age-old ways of
living. According to the tales, the
Indians live in crude huts and use
bows and arrows.
When Christopher Columbus dis
covered the Bahamas he called the

JACKSON, Tenn, May 3.-More
than a million dollars worth Of gold
and other treasures are rumored to
be buried near the old home-site
of John A. Murrell near here. Muir
rell was probably the most famous
of all the bandits that preyed ON
travellers through West Tennessee
more than century ago and he is
supposed to have buried his loot
close to his home.
Tourists, entranced by tales of
the highwayman, often visit the old
home-site and instinctively attempt
to turn the sod with their toes in
efforts to catch the first glimpse
of the gold in more than 100 years.
Murrell was no piker as a crook,
for he was reputed to be the Or
ganizer Of a mystic brotherhood of
criminals. Whether there was such
an organization or not he did lead
band of cutthroats and thieves
that terrorized West Tennessee
from 1925 to 1884.
He was a skilled thief by the time
he was 10 and soon graduated to
highway robbery and murder and
roamed the old Natchez Trace,
shooting wayfarers. stripping their
bodies and hurting them into
swamps.
From itinerant lecturers, book
peddlers and assorted quacks, met
during his wanderings, he absorbed
a suave f1uency and kind of polite
education. From evangelists ne ac-
quired JUNCTION and the art of
preaching thunderous sermons full
of the popular brand of hell-fire
and damnation. He was often in
vited to preach in churches and
brush-arbor camp meetings Since
he invariably shot his victims, no
one suspected the true reason for
his constant shutting back and
forth along the Trace. Slight and
dapper, courteous and f1owery of
speech, Brother Murrell was well
coined everywhere in the homes,
churches and taverns between Nash
vile and Natchez as young gentle
man of means and piety.

Valley Entry List
 Increases For Boys Club Tourney

With only two more days remain ing before the deadline for entry into the fourth annual Naugatuck Valley tournament at the Boys club, over 24 teams have signified their intention of entering in the event. This year great stress is being placed on the entry of local quin- tets who are making all kinds of claims about city supremacy. To date, very few out-of-tow nteams have entered, with only few from Ansolia and Bristol and none as yet frorl Torrington, the city that supplied the runnerup to last years winner.
 Another highlight of this years tournament is the fact that teams apparently are sticking to their regular lineups and are not filling their entry list with stars from oth- CT parts, as they have been known to do in the past. This fact alone will assure a deserving and authen- tic district champion this season and almost guarantees the fact that no all-Star quintet will win the event.
 Friday night at 8 o'clock, the tournament lists will be closed and the managers of participating teams will meet with William Johnson, Boys club superintendent, in the n- brary of the club to decide on draw ingS and other important matters incidental to the smooth operation of the tournament.
