A PEARL OF j
GREAT PRICE
The Blue
Moon
By DAVID ANDERSON
One of the most de
li^ht:'mI -stories you have
ever had a chance to read.
A tale of love and for
tune seeking among the
Wabash pearl tishers. of
the fiat woods and ^br.tiff
uoas country, in the days
when Terre Haute was
only a dot on the map and
Vincennes was the renter
of mid-western settlement
and activity. It was then
a river of romance, along
which the pearl hunters, a
hardy and adventurous
breed, le3 a life no less in
teresting than that of their
strange brethren in occu
pation in the South Seas
or in far off Ceylon. A
picture of rare genius,
cameo cut in its clearness,
of our grandfathers' days
and before the present
agricultural empire was
founded.

New York.—William Merkel, thirty. 1
who refused to give his address, could :
not remember in the Newark City bos- I
pital how lie climbed a telegraph pole |
at Fleming avenue anil 1'rovidence I
street. Policeman ISusli was patrolling .
his beat when he saw Merkel lying
across the wires atop the pole.
Not knowing whether Merkel was j
dead or sleeping, and fearing to ,
arouse the man by shouting, he sent ,
for the reserves.
While tho officers held a not a "stee- •
ptejack" member of the force climbcd ]
the pole, awakened Merkel and in- i
duced him to come down.
Merkel said he had been "out with i

"Say. 1 think 1 should have some
thing back on the price of that cough

suggested.
"What was the matter with it?" the

"Why, I'd taken only half of it
when my cough was absolutely cured,
and there's half the bottle of stuff left,
a total loss."
MOTORS KILL MANY
Toll of Antes Three Times That
of Industrial Plants.
Menace Growing All the Time, Almost
in Proportion to Machines
In Use.
Atlantic City.—The perils of com
mercial aviation do not compare with
til- devastating nwtor menace, which
is exacting a terrific toll of human life
throughout America, a report issued
by the executive committee of the Na
tional Safety council stated.
There are obvious reasons why the
problem of making public highways
safe for the people who own them
should be given Immediate considera
tion by the automobile makers of the
country, unless they expect soon to be
confronted by a great volume of hos
tile public opinion, stretching from
coast to coast, sitld S. J. Williams of
Chicago, secretary of the National
Safety council.
"Keports dealing with the commer
cial development of the airplane Just
received frutu England show that T-V
000 persons were carried on aerial
journey* in that country during the
last year with very few accidents and
but one fatality," the council's state
ment continued.
"Statistics fur the current year in
this country show that three times as
many people are being killed by auto
mobiles as in all the factories, mines,
railroads and other industries in
America.
"One person is killed by an.automo
bile In the United States every 3."> min
utes, and the menace is growing all
the time, almost In proportion to the
Increase of the machines in use.
"It is estimated there will be 10,
000,000 automobiles in this country by
the end of 1920, and the number prob
ably will continue to grow tremen
dously." ,

New York.—Unable to sleep because
of a troubled conscience and a dally
fear of bring arrested. Conrad .Tancke,
thirty, an actor, walked into the West
Forty-seventh street station and, ac
cording to Detective Clarence Daly,
told him lie had dodged the draft and
wished to surrender.
Janke said lie avoided registering In
the first draft, but th.Tt he had" regis
tered in the second, under the name of
Charles T. Jackson. He said he then
went to Panama as » railroad cornmls- I
sary assistant.
He declared he had been haunted
constantly with the Illusion that he
was being followed by federal agents
and would start from his sleep expect
ing to find one standing over him with
a warrant for his arrest.

Vessels Alllocated to the United

Condition. - •
WILL NUT EE SENT ON TOURS
Only One of Ships Capable of Making
Voyage Under Own Power and It j
Would Be Unsafe to Send Her
to Sea Again.
Washington.—Owing to deliberate j
damage wrought by flie crews to the l
i engines anil other vltnl parts of the I
live ex-German warships recently
I brought to this country under the peace
| treaty nllocution, necessitating exten
sive repair to make them possible of
operation, none of the vessels will be
sent on an exhibition tour of coastal
cities, as the navy department hud
hoped to do.
In making this .innouncement the
department Included a statement by j
Capt. J. F. Hellweg, commanding olli- i
cer of the convoy which brought the
ex-German warships to America, as-1
serting that even the dreadnaught Ost
frisslnnd, the only one of the dve ships
cnpahle of making the transatlantic
trip .under her own power, was in such
condition on arrival at New York that
it would he hazardous to send her to
sea again.
Calls It Vandalism.
Captain Ileilweg attributed the con
dition of the ships, four of which, the
cruiser Frankfurt and three destroyers,
were submerged at Sea pa Flow, to "de
liberate vandalism" on the pint of their
former German crews.
"Tiie gutted condition in which we
found these vessels on taking them
ov{>r cannot be exaggerated," he said.
"What had not been stolen was
wrecked. The vandalism Indicated a
very careful preparation and the usual
thoroughness of the Iluns in execu
tion."
Expressing the belief that the Ost
friesland had been systematically loot
ed while In the German dockyard for
a Ten r after her surrender had been
called for, Captain Hcllweg also de
clared the presence of an "unnecessar
ily large crew aboard when the dread
naught was brought to ltosyth, Scot
land, Indicated In tlie light of devel
opments tliat the crew was sent with
a view of looting everything possible
en route."
Causes Many Breakdowns.
Not only did the German crews com
mit obvious depredations, Captain llell
weg declared, hut their "preparations
for future trouble bv removing sections
of pipe.- and valves" were responsible,
lie said, for numerous breakdowns in
the Ostfriesland's machinery on the
trip across. He cited one Instance In
which a six-inch pipe line gave way
and flooded the tire room when the
vessel was a thousand miles from the
European const. The dreadnought was
forced to make most of the voyage, he
said, with only one engine running, al
though it towed the Frankfurt all the
way.
By bringing back on the dock of the
Ostfrclsland two 12-Inch and two 14
inch gui»s which had formed a reserve
for the land batteries of the American
navy during the war. Captain llellweg
estimated that more than twice the
amount appropriated to bring the ex
German ships across, $(50,000, was
saved in their transportation.
WHY TINNED BEEF IN FIJIS?
Leading Scientists Are Going to Find
Out if Cattle Can Be Raised
There.
Honolulu.—Why do the Fiji Island
ers cat canned beef?
The l'an-Pacific scientific congress,
composed of more than seventy-five of
the leading scientists of the United
States, Canada, Australia, New Zea
land, Samoa, Japan and other coun
tries bordering on the Pacific ocean,
struggled with that and other prob
lems during its recent sessions here.
The more Important half of the
knotty question relative to the Fijlans
and their diet, however. Is why don't
they raise their own cattle instead of
eating tinned meat shipped across the
ocean?
If there is anything to prevent cattle
raising in the Fiji Islnnds, the con
gress intends to find out what It Is,
and, 11 posslblejjeuioyc the obstacle.
HELP BUSINESS MAN
Uncle Sam to Supply Missing
Link Between Science and
Industry.
Department of Agriculture Installs
Staff of Engineers to Figure Out
Application .Cost.
Washington.—Uncle Sam Is going fo
•help I ho American business man to use
new discoveries.
lie Is going to do this by supplying
the previously missing link between
the scientific Investigator, who consid
ers processes, mil the business man
who must measure costs and related
problems. This missing link Is a force
of Industrial engineers.
Secretary E. T. Meredith of the de
partment of agriculture, on the sugges
tion of Or. Ossrl L. Aisberg, chief of
the bureau of chemistry, has created
a new service—oflice of development
work—with a staff of engineers.
It is under the direction of David
J. Price, who was chief engineer in
the dust explosions investigations con
ducted by the department.
The Idea is to translate through this
new service the discoveries and Inven
tions by the scientific Investigators
Into terms that can be understood and
applied in the Industry on a commer
cial basis by the manufacturer and In
ventor.
Such discoveries are being made ev
ery year concerning the utilization of
manufacturing waste; a new- food sub
stance Is found, or a new dye formu
la, a glue or a preservative.
In the commercial and industrial de
velopment of these many valuable
processes and Inventions they fre
quently have not been given a fair
trial because they were not at once
practical.
The application in the arts and In
dustries of such discoveries requires
the calculation of source and quantity
of supply and cost of production,
transportation and manufacture—
which Is really an industrial engineer
ing problem.
so me plan in me uuitinis ui mc ..c
partment of agriculture Is to allow the
scientist and researcher to proceed to
the point where he is able to announce
that a certain process is effective.
Then the new service steps In and car
ries on development work to prove
whether the new process Is commer
cially and industrially practical.
If it is found practical the engineers
furnish cost and other data to the
manufacturer and Inventor.
CREW IS STRANDED ON ISLE
Castaways From Liner Carawa Pass
Four Weeks on Galapagos
After Vessel Sinks.
Sydney, Australia.—Four weeks' ex
perience on the Galapagos Islands was
sufficient for the crew of the Aus
tralian government liner Carawa, who,
like the original Robinson Crusoe,
were castaways on that Island group
last April.
The Carawa last March left Port
Arthur, Tex., for Australia with ben
zine and case oil. When In the Pacific
it encountered a launch containing six
men, which had been blown out to
soa. The liner towed the launch to
Chatham Islands In the Galapagos
group.
On Chatham Island the Carawa
struck a reef. Her stern post and rud
der were torn away and she began to
leak hadly. The crew made for shore
and watched their boat sink.
The men lived in a tent made from
canvas from the ship and subsisted on
canned meat and potatoes. The food
supply was limited and sleep was out
of the question on account of the mos
quitoes. In addition, convicts on the
Island stole the castaways' belongings.
After four weeks a schooner carrying
cattle and hogs picked the men up
and landed them at Guayaquil. Here
they shipped on a steamer for Colon,
where the Australian government liner
Australange, bound to Sydney, picked
them up early In July.
"Don't you think, dear, tuut ;;
would be a- good plan to let me select
the stocks for you to buy and sell?"
his wife suggested.
He withdrew his attention from a
vast complication of calculations long
enough to snort disdainfully.
"Why, you don't know anything
about the stock market," he said.
"No," she responded sweetly; "but
It's a poor rule that won't work both
tvays—and I've observed that It Is
those who know all about It that gen
erally lose."
