Freak Storm
Strips Chickens
WILMINGTON, Del.—Many vis
itors were attracted to the farm
of Harvey Lyman, between New
port and Stanton, one day to view
the freak effects of a night’s
storm, news of which had spread.
Nearly all the chickens, ducks
and geese were blown away. The
few that, remained had been so
tossed about they were stripped
of their feathers. There was only
one chicken coop left, the others
having been blown so far they
have not been located.
The barn was blown down and
the roof taken from the house,
but the machinery and farm wa
gons in the barn were not even
. moved. A large water tank on the
second floor was carried several
hundred feet. Clothing was blown
from the third floor of the house
and lodged in trees several hun
dred feet away.
GEORGIA CROPS,
CORN ESPECIALLY,
REPORTED GOOD
Some encouraging teatures with
regard to Georgia crops in evi
dence in the monthly report by J.
J. Brown, commissioner of agricul
ture and Leon M. Estabrook, chief
of the bureau of crop estimates, in
the interest of the Co-operative
Service for Georgia, especially a
marked Improvement in the corn
crop. This improvement amounts to
four' points better than the rather
low mark of 81 petj cent of normal,
indicated last month. The better
conditions are notable in the north
ern third of the state.
The report proceeds:
"Sweet potatoes also show some
improvement and if the condition
figure indicated by the correspon
dents truly reflects the status of thi s
crop we may look for the greatest
outturn in the history of the state.
There are several points, however,
which should be mentioned in any
review of the potato situation. The
first of these is the very rapid
growth and consequent sappiness of
the crop, which will make curing
unusually difficult and will certain
ly result in heavy loss where the
tubers are cured in the old fashion
way. The second is that the vines
are probably no fair indication, and
that the crop itself will fail to meas
ure up to the expectations caused
by the wonderful vines. Some of
the closer observers are very doubt
ful of a bumper crop on this ac
count.
“Other main crops do not vary
greatly from usual. The cotton crop
as already noted, underwent consid
erable deterioration, and the boll
weevil has become more numerous
than at any other time since first
infestation. Peanuts have been up
to the decade standard, but in some
cases there is complaint of grass
and worm damage. Cow peas and
velvet beans are hardly up to the
average. Sirup crops are spotted,
butt here is little ocasion for worry.
Increased acreage will insure an
amount equal to last year.
“Summarizing the progress for the
last month of our main crops, it
might be said that all requiring
large amounts of moisture Improved

which need less than two and one
half inches. Percentages are given

After Two Years' Sleep
‘ Charmed'W*omanWakes
At Sight of a Child
WAUKESHA, Wis.—Mrs. Clara
JoJrgenson, of Racine, who has been
asleep at the county asylum for more
than two years, has regained con
sciousness.
A sister-in-law visited the institu
tion, bringing her six-year-old son. It
is thought that the child awakened
memories in the sleeping woman’s
mind that restored her io normal
condition.
It has been necessary to feed and
eare for Mrs. .Jorgenson as if she were
a helpless babe, according to Mrs.
Deters, matron of the institution.
Yesterday she walked, used table
utensils and fed herself with ease.
She walked a short distance about
the ward, but returned to her in
valid’s chair exhausted from tiie ex
ertion to whifch she has been unac
customed.
“I could not. no mutter how I tried,
break the spell which seemed to keep
me bound in another world in which
I lived,” said Mrs. Jorgenson in an
interview. She said that althou h
■ he could not open her eyes, utter a
word or move a muscle, she knew
each day’s events, heard each word
spoken to her.
In an attempt to describe the sen
sation of awakening to see her sis
ter-in-law, Mrs. Arthur Dixon, of Ra
cine, bending over and finding that
she could speak to her, Mrs. Jorgen
son could onlly say: "It just happen
ed naturally.” She did not feel in ad
vance that the power to see and to
speak was about to return to her, she
explained.
Sirs. Jorgenson clearly remembered
world war events, knew of relatives
who had been in the service, told the
names of those who had remained on
the battlefield of France, where they
Increase of 104 Per Cent
In Cost of Living Shown
July 1914, to July, 1920
An increase of 104.5 per cent in the
cost of living of American wage
earners between July, 1914, and July,
1920, is shown in a statement issued
today bv the national industrial con
ference board. ' This figure is based
on the board’s most recent investi
gation of changes in the cost of liv
ing, a complete report of which will
be made public shortly This in
crease marks a rise of nearly 19 per
cent within the last year and of 5
per cent since March, 1920, the date
of the board’s last survey of the
problem.
Increases between July, 1914, and
July, 1920, in the cost of each of the
five major itemh making up the fam
ily budget were as follows:
Food H 9 P er cent
Shelter 58 per cent
Clothing 166 percent
Fuel, heat and light .... 66 per cent
Sundries 85 per cent
As in earlier reports of changes in
the cost of living made by the board,
the information on which the above
estimates were based was obtained
from a large number of retail deal
ers in clothing and fuel and from
brokers and others in close touch
with the real estate situation. The
i etail food prices index numbers of
the United States bureau of labor
statistics were used in estimating
changes in the cost of living retail
quotations properly weighted accord
ing to consumption, and not whole
sale prices, should be used, since the
latter, although they satisfactorily
reflect market conditions, offer little
< irect evidence regarding changes in
cost to the ultimate consumer. Gen
eral commodity price index numbers
may give an exceedingly misleading
idea regarding changes in the cost
of living.
Retail food prices in June and
July, 1920, showed an identical in
crease above the pre-war level and
represent an average increase of 119
per cent above prices in the jear
1913. Between July, 1919, and July,
1920, food prices increased 15 per
cent, the most marked rise within
this period beginning in April, 1920,
and continuing to June and July, in
which months retail prices of food
were higher than ever before reco-d
--ed by the bureau of labor statictics.
Largest Increases
The largest increases reported for
food items between July, 19'13, and
July, 1920, were as follows: sugar.
382 per cent; potatoes, 368 per cent;
flour, 164 peh cent; cornmeal, 133 per
cent; rice, 114 per cent; bread, 113
per cent; ham, 112 per cent; lamb,

irrival.
109 per cent; hens, 17 per cent; pork
chops, 101 per cent.
In July, 1920, sugar cost more than
four and three-quarter times as
much, and cornmeal approximately
two and times as muefi.
The average cost of a few articles
decreased within the year ending
July 15, 1920, but these items were
not important in the total food bud
get.
In thirty-five of the thirty-nine
cities from which retail prices of
food have been collected monthly
since 1913, the average retail cost
increased 100 per cent or more. The
largest increase reported was from
Detroit, Mich., 138 per cent, and the
smallest was from Los Angeles, C J.,
95 per cent.
The estimated increase in rents of
58 per cent between July, 1914, and
July, 1920, is based on figures re
ceived from 361 real estate bokrds
and brokers, chambers of commerce
and civic organizations in practically
all of the cities in the United States
having a population of 50,000 or over
in and in a number of smaller places.
Only one community, and that one
very small, did not note £ »me ad
vance in rents within this six-year
period. In slightly more than one
| quarter of the cities i eporting there
had been no change in average rents
since March, 1920, and in nearly one
half of them the increase had been
10 per cent or less.
Eighyt-six cities reported in
creases of more than 50 per cent in
rents between July, 1914, and July,
1920. Among these were New York.
Chicago, Philadelphia, Detroit, Los
Angeles, Pittsburg, Baltimore and
Cleveland. On the other hand, in
Boston, St. Louis, San Francisco and
a number of smaller cities the in
crease had averaged less than 50
per cent.
All reports indicated a continued
shortage of houses and rising rents.
The- average cost of clothing for
warge-earners in the United States
decreased 4 per cent between March,
1920, and July, 1920. Clothing prices
in July were, however, 166 per cent
above the prevailing level in July,
1914. Between July, 1919, and July,
*1920, the .average increase in the
cost of clothing was 33 per cent.
Cotton Goods Advance
Cotton yarn goods, especially the
cheaper and heavier grades, contin
ued to advance in price between
March, 1920, and July, 1920. Plos
iery, knit underwear, men’s shirts
and overalls, as well as gloves and
hats for both men and women, ad
vanced in price within the four
months period. The average price of
certain other articles declined. The
most marked falling off in prices
noted was in the case of men’s and
women’s garments made of wool.
Woolen yard goods, shoes and wom
en’s blouses and muslin underwear
dropped slightly in price between
March and July.
Retail prices of anthracite and
bituminous coal were obtained from
115 dealers in forty-three cities. Av
erages of these indicate that between
July, 1914, and July, 1920, stove an
thracite increased 85.5 per cent,
chestnut anthracite 81.4 per cent and
bituminous coal 103.1 per cent. In
as much as price increases for an
thracite in the districts where an
thracite is most important as fuel
were greater than the average for
the country as a whole and the same
was true of bituminous coal, it is
est‘mated tha-, ’he total m
the cost of coal fur dim<.si.'c use be
tween tuy, 1914, and July, '920, was
92 per cent.
Light is a less important item of
expense in the families of aveia.-.e
wage-earners than is fuel. Gas and
electricity for domestic use increas
ed in price about 15 per cent within
the six-year period. Combining these
increases according to the impor
tance of expenditures for each by'
average families, it appears that the
total increase in the cost of fuel,
heat and light combined was 66 per
cent between 1914 and 1920.
Changes in carfare were reported
from 153 cities. Fares had been
raised of 120 of these since 1914 and
had ren.ained unchanged in thirty
three. It is estimated that the aver
age increase in carfares for the coun
try as a whole, between 1914 and
1920, was not more than 40 per cent.
Doctors’ fees and the prices of
newspapers has been raised uneven
ly since 1914. Candy, tobacco, house
hold furnishings and supplies show
ed large increases in cost. More In

contributions had neen increased and

$48;200,000 Willße
Spent by Red Cross
On Relief Program
WASHINGTON, Sept. 11. —Appro-
priations of $48,200,000 have been
made for the American Red Cross
relief program during the fiscal year
ending July. 1, 1921. Th etotal is $21,-
000,000 less than that appropriated
last year.
( Relief work in foreign lands will
comprise nearly two-thirds of the
budget, the estimate of $31,000,000
for activities abroad being based on
reports to the Red Cross tending to
show that “central Europe faces an
other winter of famine, pestilence
and ruin.”
“Physicians who investigated the
situation at the behest of the
league of Red Cross societies have
given their unqualified opinion that
the coming winter will see a recur
renece of typhus on an unprecedent
ed scale,” said an official announce
ment here today. The Red Cross feels
that it must continue preventive
measures abroad to keep this and
other deadly maladies from the
United States.
“Come and Kiss Me,”
Actress Says, Man
Does It; Gets Jailed
NEW YORK. —When the prima
donna of a burlesque show in Har
lem sang “Come to My Arms and
Kiss Me” directly at Charles
Soicher, of the inflammable age of
19, seated in the first row, he
climbed over the footlights and
took her at her word. Magistrate
Charles M. Sims held Soicher un
der SSOO bail for hearing on a
charge of disorderly conduct.
The treasurer of the theater
signed the complaint against
young Soicher and said that not
only did the youth engage his
prima donna in panther-like em
brace, but that it took the whole
house staff to pry him loose.
Soicher admitted the overpow
ering effect that the song and the
singer had over him.
FRANCE TO PAY
PART OF MONEY
DUE IN AMERICA
PARIS, Sent. 14.—The French
ministry of finance, it is learned,
will pay a part of the $250,000,000
due in ‘October from France on the
Anglo-French loan from the pro
ceeds of a re-sale of the American
army stocks which it purchased,
and upon which New York bankers
will advance sums reported to
amount to $25,000,001. The Harris
Brothers company, of Chicago, has
been engaged to become the sales
agents of the French government for
the disposal of stocks estimated at
more than $150,000,000 in value.
The stocks include an immense
variety of articvles, including wool
en goods, harness, wagon wheels,
hardware, canned foods and tools,
a considerable quantity of which
probably will be re-sold in the Unit
ed States, some in South America
and the remainder in Europe. The
French government took over all the
American army supplies left in
France for the sum of $400,000,010.
The government has taken from
the stocks all the automobiles, rail
way material and various stores of
timber and other commodities readi
ly saleable, but has found the
French people unwilling as a rui&
to buy tinned goods, woolen under
wear, hosiery, tools and other manu
factured articles among the sup
plies, made for the American trade.
The Frenchmen who examine the
woolen underwear, for instance, find
the pattern slightly different from
that which they are accustomed to
wear and prefer to pay more for
their home product. Warehouses
covering several acres at Issoudun
are filled with American wagon
wheels with steel hubs and the best
white oak spokes, which have no
sale in France. The French are also
suspicious of the canned fruit and
vegetables from abroad.
Besides this difference n taste,
the government has found it diffi
cult owing to various complications,
to sell in small quantities, and no
large firms have been willing to
take the risk of handling the sup
plies wholesale. The American
agents have agreed to dispose of the
stocks upon a graduated sale of per
centage. this procedure having been
recommended to the French govern
ment by the New' York bankers
whose advice was requested.
It is understood that the inter
est rate on the $25,000,000 to be ad
vanced to France bv New York bank
ers will be eight per cent.

MAY HAVE SOLVED
PROBLEM OF AGES
BY RUSS SIMONTON
SEATTLE.—Has Alfred M. Hub
bard, 19, boy inventor of the “at
mospheric power generator,” solved
the power problems of the ages?
Wherever I traveled in the north
west I heard the same question by
farmers and, businessman and house
wives—“Ha? this boy Hubbard what
he says he has?”
They have faith in him out on the
Pacific coast where, after engineers
and scientists, all save one, had de
rided his claims and called him a
faker, he put his machine through
the tests they said it could not meet
and confounded them all.
Hubbard’s invention consists of X
series of eight small coils of wire,
wound on magnetized steel bars and
arranged in a certain manner
around a large central bar of steel.
The whole device is surrounded by
still another coil of wire. It con
tains several miles of fine, silk
wound wire and a few pounds of
brass and steel.
That’s all, he says, and yet—a coil
It inches by 18 inches produced 45
horse-power, spinning a motor at
3,600 revolutions a minute and driv
ing an 18-foot launch at 11 1-2 miles
an hour through the water!
The launch test was in the pres
ence of witnesses who watched care
fully for any sign of trickery and
found none,
“Attempted perpdtual motion!”
scoffed the engmers, “All bosh! An
other Keeley motor. He’s a faker!”
“Not so fast,” replied the Rev. Fa
ther William Smith, professor of
Physics at a Jesuit college here, ‘‘l
have seen the inside of his machine.
It doesn’t take power from the air,
as he thinks, and it isn’t perpetual
motion. It will supply power for a
long time and I think that a coil 18
feet long and properly built would
furnish 18,000 horse-power—enough
to drive the battleship New Mexi
co!”
Then Hubbard’s rise to fame be
gan.
That was last November. He ap
plied for a patent three months ago
and expects to receive protection of
his invention in another two months
In the meantime, in a laboratory at
Everett, 30 miles from Seattle he
experiements and tinkers with his
apparatus.
Mindful of the great frauds that
inventors have perpetrated with
similar claims, people “go slow” on
the indorsemnt of this boy-
As for Hubbard, he delights in
fooling the “wise boys.” With the
exception of Father Smith, no one
except myself has ever dismantled
a Hubbard coil, Hubbard says.
Aroused by the charges of fraud
made after one test, Hubbard con
sented to let me “see the works.”
He trusted my ignorance of all ex
cept the fundamentals of electricity
tt a room several miles from
Hubbard’s worshop, I took the crude
little black-tape-and-sheet-brass con
trivance in my hands. Two bits of
wire protruded from it and an ordi
nary 110-volt electric lamai glowed
at the ends of these., Hubbard sat
across the room. I pulled the brass
end from the coil. The connections
broken, the lamp went out. 1 saw a
row of little coils, like sewing ma
chine bobbins—eight of them.
I took one of the coils—they were
all alike—betwen the jaws of my
pliers and pulled it out, unraveling
the wire and tangling it. It was
solid—just a coil of wire. There
was not a wheel or a drop of acid
that I could find.
And that’s the mystery—without
chemicals or wheels “it can’t run,”
wail the experts.
“It does run and there are no
wheels and no fluids,” says Hub
bard.

“Wild Man” Is Captured After
Desperate Battle in Lonely Shack
ASHLAND, Wis.—The “wild man”
who has been a mystery to resi
dents of the town of Gordon, has
been captured and is now in the
county jail there awaiting trial on a
charge of vagrancy, where he was
brought by Sheriff Ole Eckle and
Conservation Warden Gray.
The “wild man” gave the name of
Charles Mills, and said he was born
in Russia, but came to this country
when a young man. He worked/dntil
four years ago and went to the woods
to live.
Near Gordon he found an aban
doned shack, and for four years he
has eaten only the food he obtained
in killings and in stealings from
loggers and others within five miles
of the shack.
His first question was: “Is the war
over?” It is believed he forsook
civilization because he might have
Wife Dies After Dentist Drops
Tooth in Lung, Husband Says
NEW YORK. —Dr. Victor W.
Crossman, a dentist, is defendant in
two suits for damages brought
against him by George R. Minns,
Brooklyn, who charges that the death
of his wife, Cora Minns, which oc
curred May 24, was due to the negli
gence of the dentist in allowing one
of the ten teeth which he extracted
for her a month prior to her death,
to fall into her windpipe and thence
into her left lung, and that he did
not tell her of the occurrence, with
the result that she contracted pneu
monia and died. \
It is claimed that an operation
termed trachoctomy might have
saved her life, had it been known
that a tooth was in her lung In
one action Minns is suing, individ
ually, for the loss of services of
his wife, from the date of the ex
traction of the teeth to the date
