NEW YORK, March l, 1916
(ANP)-You can repack those cry
ing towels, Jacqueline, now that Ma
yor O'Dwyer has rescinded his un-
precedented order affecting places
of amusement. We made tour of
nightspots starting from VILLAGE
VANGUARD, located in section of
Manhattan once lorded over by the
pincy-penny Dutch of the 18th CEN
tury, on up to the crest of "Coogan's s
Bluff" (155th St. which overlooks
BOWMAN MILLIGAN'S cozy bar
grill. Everywhere we found people
wandering aimlessly in circles :. i.
everywhere there was confusion
Colored and white people seemed
glad to hail each other and talk the
situation over.
Lincoln's birthday, the worlds
greatest city saw all Americans in
this melting pot very glad to talk
their common weals over. The fol-
lowing day saw the night club op-
orators drawing a sigh of sincere
relief. Millions of dollars that usual
ly pour into the tills (nitely) of
bars, restaurants, cabarets, etc.,
just didn't pour. The crowds who
pass and re-pass each other into
such spots as Latin Quarter, Cafe
Zanzibar, on the hour by the hour,
must have taken rocket-planes to
the moon or some other heavenly
body for they were conspicuous by
their absence.
Along TIN PAN ALLEY and the
B'way THEATRE ROW, producers
and stage managers mumbled some
thing about all this being "an act
of Cod" Others, not built along the
idealistic side, merely blurted forth
nuts" to such remarks adding

Town Returns to Union;
Grievance Now Forgotten

TOWN LINE, N. Y.-The resi-
dents of Town Line voted, go to %,
to return to the Union"
The results were announced after
the votes were collected by Henry
Urshel, owner of the blacksmith
shop where 85 years ago the tiny
community decided for reasons now
unknown to secede. Old newspa-
pers and records show that Town
Lines 125 voters met one night in
1861 at the schoolhouse, and after a
stormy session voted, 85 to 40, for Sc
cession and cheered Jeff Davis.
Residents had just about forgot
ten the incident when Dade county,
Georgia, and Vicksburg, Miss, ere
turned to the United States last
July 4. Then it was brought to light
that Town Lines secession eve
had been rescinded by the hamlet's
voters.
After today's b~alloting the stars
and bars of the Confederacy were
hauled down from over the black
smith shop and the Stars and
Stripes run up as a crowd of more
than 500 sang 1.-THE Star Spangled

Scientist Hints Great
Power in Cosmic RAYS

ST. LOUIS, MO.-A much greater
amount of energy than is produced
by splitting the uranium atom may
develop from use of cosmic rays,
Chancellor Arthur H. Compton of
Washington university said.
Processes have appeared in our
study of cosmic rays which trans
form all of the mass of a particle
into energy" he told the st. Louis
Academy of Science.
DR.. Compton, n of the top panel
of scientists who developed the
atomic bomb, pointed out that only
l per cent of the mass of the ura-
MUM atom was released as energy
in development of the bomb.
"Study of cosmic rays may carry
us across the frontier to the micro
world, where we can study the par
ticles of which atoms themselves
are made" DR.. Compton said.
He defined cosmic rays as rays
similar to x-rays, which come from
outside our universe"

Plans for Return
OF Var Dead Told
Expect to Begin in Spring If
Army ApproUeS.

SAN FRANCISCO. - The army
has detailed plans for bringing
home Americas World War II dead,
beginning this spring, if congress
sional authorization is granted, the
San Francisco Chronicle said.
The Chronicle did not disclose the
source of its information, except to
state the details were contained in
documents now being submitted to
high war department officials.
A bill dealing with return of war
dead has passed the house and now
is before the senate military affairs
committee.
Other points included in the
Chronicle story:
The dead will be returned from
Asa sites in &c countries and islands.
New York will be the major re-
ceiving point for dead from Europe
and the Atlantic area; San Francis
co for those from the Pacific rea
The first burial ship is scheduled
to leave San Francisco April / and
thereafter one ship a month will
leave both San Francisco and New
York.
The project is expected to take at
least 10 months.
Cost has been estimated unof-
fcially at $500, 600, 900.
If next of kin desire, the dead will
be left where they are now buried.
Liberty ships, painted white with
a purple band around the hull, will
carry the dead.
The collins will be walnut stained,
each covered with an American
flag.
Each burial ship will carry from
$500 to 1000 bodies.
Specially converted trains will
carry the dead to distribution points.
Because present plans call for no
military cemeteries in isolated
areas, all dead will be arbitrarily
returned from China, Burma, India,
the Malay States and the Dutch
East Indies; from Central and South
America, except the Canal Zone;
from Africa, except in the North
American theater; the Middle East,
and from all islands in both the At
lantic and Pacific, except Hawaii,
the Philippines and Puerto Rico.

by fire in America in the next
decade.
The keys to prevention of pro-
%gressively larger fire losses, Wooley
said, are (1) Strict enforcement of
building and fire-prevention codes
instead of a relaxation in them
that may accompany the desperate
rush for housing and other build
ing); (2) restoration and mainten-
ance of full-strength fire depart
ment manpower; (3) keeping up
watchmen's services, and (4) restor-
alton and check-up of equipment,
taking advantage of new develop
ments.
Replacement was difficult during
the war, he said, but since VI
day equipment makers have lost no
time making available new and i'm
proved apparatus and ideas. For
example, fire hose made with syn
thetic rubber, according to j. M.
Founders of B. F. Goodrich, has
been developed with qualities of
water-repellance and resistance to
aging, fold-cracking and mildew far
superior to the prewar article and
made to more exacting standards.
Also, production facilities for fire
hose have been greatly stepped up.
High-pressure and other pumping
units and equipment for use in
"water-fog" technique where fire is
smothered and cooled by a dense
mist of water instead of a stream;
lightweight, portable pumps like the
Handy Billy" that became popular
with the Navy; improved aluminium
alloy ladders, and increased use of
oxygen masks and other breathing
are the new tools avail
able for fighting "what can be a
winning battle against history re-
ITSELF" Wooley said.

Growth in Trailer
Life Is Predicted
Expect Sale of Mobile Homes
To Rise Rapidly.

LOS ANGELES. - One out of ev-
cry four Americans nov driving an
automobile will have a house trail
er hitched behind his a one OF
these days and will make the equiv
alent of one cross-country trip a
year, a survey reports.
Sterling Gleason of the Civilian
Production administration said that
his nationwide survey indicated the
life-on-wheels boom would get under
way as fast as the necessary trail
ers could be produced - but that
that would not be very fast.
Eight million new trailers are
needed, he said, to accommodate all
the people who would like to move
their houses around with them.
When these are built, 20 million
people will be rolling about the
country, covering an average OF
5000 miles a year to satisfy their
urge for travel.
"Most people," Gleason said,
''like to own their own homes, but
they are also fond of travel. With
house trailers they a do both
economically"
Trailering was booming when the
war came along, but private pur-
chase of the mobile homes virtual
ly stopped when material shortages
and government trailer purchases
cut the supply.
When mass production gets UNI
der way again, Gleason said, prices
probably will drop to where almost
any family can afford to own its
wv trailer.
Gleason warned, however, that no
n need to get optimistic about n
angle of the trailer question.
st won't relieve the housing
storage, because statistics indicate
that most trailer fans also continue
to own their own homes"

MONTANA'S FIRE
LOSSES UP I5%
IN ~HALF-OECAOE
May Repeat World War 1 At
termath Of Continuing In
creaSeS Unless Checked

Fire losses in Montana, already
Is per cent higher for the last five
years than for the 1935-40 period
threaten to keep on mounting for
the next 10 years-following a trag-
ic postwar pattern like that after
World War I-according to a sur
vey just released by Fire Engin-
eering" magazine, which cited four
key preventive steps.
The national trend to skyrocket-
ing postwar losses of life and prop
erty by fire is well under way,
but new techniques and better
equipment for fighting fire are
available, the survey reported. The
nations loss for the year ending
Jan. 81, 1916 was $50 million more
than for the preceding year. Mon
tana's losses in the five year period
ending with 1914 were $4,156,47S
against ~$3,614,866 for the last five
years of the '30s.
After World war /, the national
fire toll rose year by year from
1920 million in 1919 to $3.50 million
in 1925. Roi B. Wooley, editor of
the magazine, points out that a
repetition of this trend would mean
that more than 100000 persons
(most of them the very young and
the very old) would lose their lives,
thousands of others be crippled or
injured, and nearly five billion dol
lars worth of property be destroyed

China'S Future

China is looking forward to rapid
postwar industrialization with the
emphasis on heavy industries -
power plants, chemicals, railway
and highway transportation, avi-
alton and port facilities. Partially as
a result of a shortage of private in
dustrial capital and the absence of
a vigorous industrial class, indus
t%rialization will proceed under state
guidance and to a large extent I'M
der state ownership and direction,
it is believed.

Breeders Association
Wants Better Herds

Many farmers in the Columbia
Falls area are expected to join the
now organizing Western Montana
Dairy Breeders association.
Purpose of the organization IS to
use artificial breeding to build up
the productivity of local dairy herds.
Present average butterfat yield for
each Flathead county cow is less
than 200 pounds per year. With i'm
proved breeding this can be raised
to over 300.
Farmers in Ravalli, Missoula, Lake
and Flathead counties are Joining
the association, and arranging for
the purchase of superior Guernsey
Jersey, Holstein and perhaps Brown
Swiss and Milking Shorthorn bulls.
These sires are to be kept IN the Mis-
soula area with an dissemination
station in F1athead county.
Farmers may join the association
by buying a $40 share, and the cost
of a service is Sc with two free re-

There are about $500 dairy cows
in F1athead county. In order to ar
range for artificial breeding at
least 500 Flathead cows of partic-
ular type must be signed up. one sire
can be used for servicing between
900 and 1000 cows year.
The first artificial breeding assoc
