slight in some instances, in virtu
ally all basic industries, in the month

will be forced to place their orders
for old wheat flour soon. There has
been a decline In the condition of the
coming wheat crop and estimates of
the yield are bearish. The Camp
bell Baking company which operates
twelve large plants in this territo
ry, today announced a return to the
10-cent loaf from 15 cents. •
Large buying of hides is taken to
indicate an improvement in the shoe
t industry.
* The crude oil production of the
midcontinent field continues to in
crease, despite efforts to hold down
new development operations. While
purchases for the week just ended
were below the production in the
Kansas-Missouri-Oklahoma field, the
lead and zinc mining situation has
improved as a whole.

Although the Wholesale dry goods
business still is experiencing fluc

The volume in the grocery line is
liberal, the tonnage being fully up to
that of last year.

- BUILDING TRADES STRIKE

CLEVELAND. 0.. June 2—Settle
ment of the building trades strike
which started May 1 and lasted a full
month is looked upon as an impor

£■ litions in Cleveland. Employers and
employes finally decided to arbitrate
lhe points in dispute save for the
jpen shop dispute and the men go
sack to work June 6.
' Aside from individual lines busi

Conditions in the paint and varnish
trade are reported steadily improv

is reported that business figured in

to price reductions, the volume is

PARSON SKIPPER BUILDS
NOAH’S ARK FOR LONG TRIP
Is-j 1
This is the ark the parson built. It stands twenty feet high and
is sixty feet from stem to stern. Although odds and ends of old
lumber have been his only material, Parson J. E. Lewis, whose pic
ture is Inset, built it strictly according to Biblical specifications, pic
tures of Noah’s Ark being his working plans.
LOS ANGELES.—The sister ship
to Noah's ark stands ready for
launching. Built cf old fence boards
and box wood, .the queer craft is
about to take to the water to sail
down the Pacific coast, through the
T’anapia canal and over to Monrovia.
Liberia. Salty old seamen who have
watched the construction of the ark
say it wqn’t float beyond the break
water, •' ■
But Parson J. E. Lewis, colored
house pais:ting is said to be satis
factory and while there has been re
action in the remand from the motor
trade the past two weeks, business
in that line has been heavy thus far.
Summing up, the Glidden plants are
said to be running about 7Kper cent
of capacity.
Steel business continues quiet with
manufacturers working at intervals,
just taking care of accumulated or
ders. Tool manufacturers report a
slackening in May over April and
they do not as yet see any change
for June-
Tin can industry shows a falling
off in orders. One large vacuum

SEATTLE RESTAURANT SELLS
HAM AND EGGS AT 25 CENTS
(Leased. Wirj Service to The Journal.)
(CJpvriglit, 1921.)
SEATTLE. Wash., June 2.—A sign
appearing today in the window of a
leading restaurant of the business
section, “Ham and Eggs, 25c,” the
first and only one of its kind for
several years, is indicative of a re
turn to the old order of things as of
pre-war days. This harbinger of nor
malcy is fortified by a comparison
of prices of grocery staples with
those obtaining one year ago, which
reveals a very substantial reduction.
The decline in prices has come grad
ually in some instances, but nearly
all of the sharp reductions have tak
en place within the last few months.
Flour which sold a year ago at $4
per sack, now is retailing from $2.35
to $2.50 although it has sold ten
cents lower. The greatest reduction
has taken place in the price of po
tatoes, which cost $8.50 per sack one
year ago, and now are selling around
$2.25, with a tendency to drop still
lower. Meats have resisted the de
cline more strongly than other toons,
although reductions of 30 per cent
are noted in fresh pork.
The grocery and meat business is
reported approximately 30 per cent
below the volume of one year ago.
There is little demand foi’ coal, and
prices have not shown as yet a ten
dency to decline, although it is pre
dicted by dealers who are in a posi
tion to know, that prices next fall
will be considerably lower, as it is
anticipated that a general reduction
of wages will be effected.
The dry goods business continues
fairly brisk, the largest stores report
ing a total volume of unit sales ap
proximately the same as one year
ago. Whatever curtailment there has
been In demand is felt more acutely
by the smaller and outlying stores,
a condition which obtains in other re
tail lines as well.
The haberdashery business is quiet
with generous price reductions and
volume of business twenty-five per
cent less than one year ago.
Men’s suit sales at lear inventory
costs have continued for two months
past.
IMPORTS TO U. S. SHOW
INFLUENCE OF TARIFFS

(Copyright, 1921.)
NEW YORK, June 2.—Former Sen
ator Hoke Smith, of Georgia, speak
ing at the dinner of rhe co-operat
ing committee of the Southern Com
mercial Congress at the Waldorf-As
toria last night, made the sage sug
gestion that trade, instead of follow
ing the flag, really follows the loan.
He indicated it was entirely up to
the so-called international bankers
to sav whether the foreign trade of
the United States was to be ex
panded, either to Euroue or to South
America. M. Pezet. the Peruvian am
bassador to Washington. uttered
somewhat similar sentiments. ft
seems the international bankers are
willing to go ahead with loans, but
want some sort of guarantee by the
American government. So far Presi
dent Harding has refused to enter
tain such a proposition, believing
that it smacks too strongly the

WASHINGTON, June 2.—Passage
of the peace resolution through the
house before the end of next week
was predicted today by Chairman
Porter, of the house foreign affairs
committee.
The house resolution will differ
textually from the Knox resolution,
thus making a conference between
the two houses necessary. Final en
actment is not probable before June
20. Plans are to report the peace
measure from the house committee
Friday or Saturday, and take it up
in the house next Tuesday.
Savannah Mayor in
Row With Motorists
SAVANNAH. Ga.. June 2. Mayor
Murray M. Stewart and the Savannah
Automobile club have locked horns
over the question of one-way streets.
The city recently made Drayton and
Whitaker streets one-way thorough
fares. The auto club disapproved of
this and in advertisement in the
daily papers alleged that the action
had been taken to drive the jitneys
out of business in the interest of the
Savannah Electric company.
The mayor is now preparing an an
swer to this letter in which he de
mands an apology before he will con
sent for a committee from the au
tomobile club to appear before coun
cil to protest against the t»e-way
ordinance. The next ks
head of the Church of the Living
God, of Wilmington, Cal., is undis
turbed by the mariners’ predictions.
“I built it on Revelations and I
guess revelations will help me get it
to Africa,” he said. “We’ll have two
gasoline engines in her any way.”
Fifty-five negro missionaries have
signed on as the ark’s crew. It Is
their hope to “convert the folks in
the darkness over the ocean.”
Included in the ark’s cargo will be
the Skipper Lewis’ flock of chickens.
Carolina Rectois
Can Not Remarry
Divorced Persons
GREENVILLE, S. C.. June 2.
Reiterating the stand taken by the
bishops of the Episcopal church at
Lambeth, England, last summer,
Bishop William A. Guerry, of the
South Carolina diocese, speaking be
fore the woman's convention of the
Episcopal church Wednesday, de
clared that he would not give permis
sion to any clergyman of the Epis
copal church i.n this state to remarry
divorced people.
Women from all parts of the state
are attending the convention, with an
unusually large delegation from Co
lumbia and Charleston present.
The bishop made the feature ad
dress of the day’s session. He made
it plain that the only condition upon
which the church in this state would
sanction the confirmation and sacra
ment to divorced persons was that
the divorce should have been ob
tained on the grounds of adultery,
and that even in that case, the per
son seeking the sacrament must
clearly show to the rector or bishop
that he or she was the innocent
party,’ and that he or she could have
obtained a divorce on that ground
in court.
South Carolina, the only state in
the union that has no divorce laws,
was praised by the bishop. The in
crease in the number of divorce cases
in high social circles in recent years
in this state is truly alarming, said
the bishop.
The convention will close Thursday
afternoon.

WOW ML
OFFICERS DISTURBED
BY HERBERT COBBY
WASHINGTON, D. C. —“We were
good enough during the war. Are
we to be good enough during the
peace?”
That question is being asked of
the authorities of the United States
navy by 2,400 “temporary officers.”
It is not directed at Secretary of the
Navy Denby, for his record as an
enlisted man in two wars has con
vinced them that he will see what
they call “fair play” if he can. It is
being offered directly to the atten
tion of the various naval bureaus,
which, in the opinion of the tem
porary officers, always have and al
ways will run the navy, no matter
who may be the temporary secre
tary.
“Are we to be permitted to hold
our commissioned rank?” they ask.
“Or are we to be pushed out because
we do not belong in the social reg
ister?”
Many Will Take Examinations
When the United States went to
war and naval activities were sud
denly expanded, about 2,400 chief
warrant and warrant officers were
given temporary commissioned rank.
These temporary commissions are
soon to expire and their holders
must either return to their former
rank as petty officers or else re
tire to civilian life. At the spring
examinations, however, commissions
will be granted to the 1,200 men of
this class who pass with honor. It
is reported that about 1,500 men will
take the examination. On the au
thority of a service publication,
however, it is said that about 2,200
made application to take the exam
ination.
“We feel that we have demonstra
ted our abilty to do the work of
the commissioned rank,” is the ex
pressed sentiment of the temporary
officers. “We likewise concede that
we should pass a proper examination
before being given commissions. But
it does seem to us that we have not
had sufficient time to prepare . for
this examination, and we believe
that we have reason to fear that the
examination will be a prejudiced
one. Perhaps we are wrong, but it
seems to us that the Annapolis of
ficer is antagonistic to the officer,
who reached the deck through the
hawsehole.”
Believe in Their Ability. 1
At the outbreak of the war about
300 warrant and chief warrant offi
cers of fifteen or more years’ serv
ice were made permanent lieuten
ants by act of congress. These will
retain their commissions, of course.
The others have been cramming hard
for six months and for the most part
believe themselves capable of pass
ing a fair and reasonable examina
tion. They do not suggest that they
could pass the sort of an examina
tion which would be easy enough for
a graduate of Annapolis. They do be
lieve that they can pass an examina
tion which, coupled with their actual
service, would convince any one of
their ability to do the work of their
rank. The average term of service
of the 2,400 temporary officers is
perhaps ten to twelve years. They
have had about four years’ service
in the commissioned grade.
They believe that Secretary Denby
has already aided them to some ex
tent. Some time ago a circular was
issued by the bureu of navigation
calling attention to the shortage in
the commissioned personnel. An ef
fort was made to graduate the pres
ent class at Annapolis one year
ahead of time in order to provide
against this shortage, which would,
of course, become more acute when
the 2,400 temporary commissions
lapsed in whole or in part. Secre
tary Denby refused to permit this,
however.
Complain of Snobbishness.
‘‘Now we are told by circular,” say
the temporary officers, “that we
must make a signed statement on
taking the examination whether we
will consent to drop back to chief
warrant or warrant rank in the
event of our failing to pass the ex
amination. There are about 600 va
cancies in these grades, and we feel
that those of us who agree to this
demotion in advance may make up
their minds in advance that the de
motion will be made.”
They do not complain of this par
ticularly, on the fairly sound ground
that an officer who agrees to relin
quish his rank as officer and drop
to a lower grade by that fact be
trays either a consciousness of un
fitness for commissioned rank or a
lack of ambition which might well
bar him from the higher grade. Their
plaint is that they have found
a certain snobbishness on the
part of some of the Annapolis grad
uates toward the ex-enlisted man.
“If we were good enough during
the war we should be good enough
now,” they say.
BDDZEHELPS QUEBEC
PREMIERDECURES
QUEBEC, Que. —The province of
Quebec, after a month’s experience as
the greatest liquor dealer in Canada,
has accomplished the following re
sults, according to Premier L. A.
Taschereau:
Stopped bootlegging.
Cut down drunkenness.
Made liquor vendors understand
the law will be enforced.
Earned a profit which will be spent
on education and highway improve
ment.
Attracted thousands of American
tourists and started the most pros
perous summer in Quebec's history.
Taschereau declared the liquor
business is so well handled that tour
ists are crowding into Quebec prov
ince in preference to othre places.
Furthermore, the city of Quebec, dry
under local option, is being avoided
by travelers who turn back to Mon
treal, which, is wet.
Merchants in Quebec City are beg
ging to have the new liquor law ap
plied there, he said.
"One must not expect too much
from the liquor commission which
has only been able to obtain its
stores from local markets, but in a
few months, a complete assortment
will be on hand,” the, premier prom
ised.
“There is complaint that our liquor
is high priced,” he said. “It was
bought at war prices. We are not
responsible for this. We are in
formed that prices are falling i»
England and we hope that soon out
population will benefit.
“We now have government stores
In operation in the principal cities
and towns, except Quebec.
“We have started to import from
English and Scotch firms. This will
end rumors that old country dealers
would refuse to sell directly to the
provincial government. French deal
ers are sending us offers also.”
Taschereau said patrons of the
drinking places were satisfied with
the regulations under which all
liquors are sold under one brand —
the government's. Drunkenness had
decreased, he said, because of the
selling policy which is designed to
prevent excessive sales to any indi
vidual.
The revocation of licenses to some
dealers who violated the rules has
shown the government firmly intends
to control the liquor business com
pletely.

GOING afishing? Os course you

I've fished for salmon wtih SIOO

California Girl
Makes Fine Record
*♦* _Etne3 ***
BERKELEY, Cal. —The most
distinguished student in the 1921
graduating class of the University
of California was Miss Georgea
Hine.
President David P. Barrows
presented Miss Hine with a gold
medal upon graduation.
During her three years in the
university, Miss Hine did prac
tically perfect work, and in ad
dition to her scholastic record,
she was an assistant in the de
partments of psychology and in
English.
let me tell you, I had some real sport
with it.
First of all I looked for a fine,
straight sapling. I found a dandy,
slender little maple, growing out in
the brush and I cut it down, peeled
it and left it in the sun for a few
days, to cure it. Meanwhile I built
my reel out of an old linen thread
spool and a piece of tin can that I cut
with an old shears. (Figs. 1, 2 and
3.) A piece of heavy iron wire served
as a handle (Fig. 4.)
Fins Are Used
When the sapling was fully cured,
I shaped it with my jackknife, and
dad’s drawknife until it was straight
and slender. Then I proceeded to
make guides out of pins from which
the heads .were nipped off. I bent
them in a loop around a match (Fig.
4) and then, with piers, turned the
loop at right angles with pin (Fig.
5) I made a tip (Fig. 6) and lashed
them onto the sapling and fastened
them with the invisible knot (Fig. 7).
I lashed the reel to the rod the same
way.
Then I made a line out of heavy
linen thread well waxed with bees
wax and bought a cent’s worth of No.
6 sproat hooks (we got three for a
cent those days).
The outfit was a dandy with a can
of worms. Believe me, I always man
aged to get a great string of “sun
nies” and catfish whenever I went
fishing.

zle. If, however, the stream of wa
ter be thrown from a distance such
that the water breaks up into drops
before coming in contact with the
electrical conductors, there is little
danger, as such a stream of water is
non-conducting.
3 —What is the difference between
barter and sale?
A. In commerce and political econ
omy, barter is the term used for the
exchange of one commodity for an
other commodity, as contrasted with
the sale of commodities for money-
4. Q. What is the speed record
for airplanes?
A. On November 4, 1920, a new
speed record was made for air-.
planes. The speed attained was
193 miles per hour, and was made
by Captain De Romanet in France.
5. Q. What is the difference be
tween a bull terrier and a Boston
terrier?
A. A bull terrier is a cross be
tween the English white terrier
(rough-haired animal) and the bull
dog, while the Boston terrier is a
cross of a smooth-coated terrier
with the bull dog.
6. Q. Are there any Franklins
today who are direct descendants of
Benjamin Franklin?
A. There are runny descendants
of Benjamin Franklin’s daughter,
Sarah, who married his successor as
postmaster general, Richard Bache,
but none of them bears the Franklin
surname.
7. Q. Why is the shield of the
United States sometimes shown with
stars on it and sometimes without
A. The official shield of the
United States does not have stars
as part of the design.
8. Q. Who discovered that there
is an association of ideas?
A. This phrase seems to have
been used first by John Locke, an
English philosopher, who lived In the
seventeenth century, but the facts
referred to were recognized as early
as the time of Aristole, when four
ways by which the mind passes
from one idea to another were dis
covered. These were known as as
sociation by similiarlty, by continu
ity, by contrast, and by succession.
9. Q. What is the Indianapolis

form of city government used in
that city and generally accepted as
a model of its kind. It provides for
a mayor elected every four years, a
single legislative chamber, a com
mon council, and various administra
tive departments such as public
safety and public health. The guid
ing principle of this form of muni
cipal goverment is the complete sep
aration of powers and the direct
placing of responsibility.

“Aunts” Wanted
There is a growing demand for
“aunts” to escort schoolboys and
girls who are passing through Lon
don on their way to and from
school for vacations. American
visitors are also keen on securing
the services of “aunts” for sight
seeing and shopping expeditions.
This has led to the formation of
an association called “Universal
Aunts,” composed of about seventy
cultured women experienced in travel
and having linguistic ability.
Their sphere of usefulness is not
confined to the chaperoning of boys,
girls and American visitors, as many
of the “aunts" are experts in design
ing- dresses and decoration of houses.

FRENCH AHACKED
BI « POLES
OPPELN, Upper Silesia, June 2.
Starving Polish insurgents have
turned on friendly French soldiers
and many lives have been lost in
brief skirmishes, Recording to re
ports here today.
The most serious break occurred
at Kattowitz, where a French supply
train was rushed by a mob of hun
gry Poles. Drivers of the lorries
were brushed from their seats while
the attackers looted the supplies.
French guards opened fire. The
rioters replied instantly. Only after
several lives had been lost did the
looters withdraw.
Other encounters were reported
here, indicating the plight of the in
surgents and their growing impa
tience with the French.
Meanwhile, the Germans have con
tinued to harrass the French. From
the first they have charged the
French were trying to help Poland
obtain the major portion of Silesia.
At Beuthen this ill feeling flared
into actual fighting.
More than a thousand Germans
there, angered at the supposed fa
voritism for the Poles, made a rush
for the French garrison. Within a
few moments they had surrounded
the headquarters and opened a brisk
revolver fire which broke windows
but did little other damage.
A number of Frencn tanks were
stationed in the barracks yard and
the Germans, having captured the
sentries, attempted to seize the ma

pelled the attacks with revolvers
and a threat to use their machine
guns.
The Germans retreated to adjacent
houses whence they continued to di-

It was the exclusive expert Camel

That Camel blend of choice

the right spot. It gives Camels such

The first time I smoked Camels
I knew they were made for me. I

Nobody can tell me any
