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 while the opposite is true of those which need less than two and one half inches. Percentages are given below: Corn, 85, buckwheat 85, tobacco 84, apples 75, millet 88, field peas >B2, cabbage 75, pears 64, cranberries 86, sugarbeets 87, oats 86, white pota toes 81, flax 80, hay 85, pasture 97, field beans 86, onions 83, watermel ons 82, broomcorn 86, peanuts 87, barley 85, sweet potatoes 91, rice 80t clover 84, grain sorghum 85, toma to-s 81, grapes 80, cantaulopes 76, cane for syrup 83. “The number of hogs on hand for fattening as compared with the usual number on September 1 is 95 per cent.

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, F S. | ,-S B ' IS j . y 1 I /ws. cha/?L£:>s acAGZMscuv fell, and knew some i.ad returned home safely and the dates of their 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 surance was being carried, church contributions had neen increased and organization dues had been raised. AU of tlies factors indicate that the to tai ‘ Increase in the cost of sundries between July, 1914, and July, 1920. average 85 per cent. $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.

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. THURSDAY. SEPTEMBER 16, 1020.
