Bush T-%' •Federal and State Authorities in Campaign to PrevenfBlaek *'w. Stem Rn.u.s^ti in G/\ rain. M il# Minneapolis. -- The United States Department of Agriculture and thirteen north and central states are plan- ,u ^ ding to deal a death blow to black "'J stem rust of grain by waging a finish fight against the common barberry during the next tw.o years. The Conference for the Prevention of Grain Rust, a national organization "y which has been instrumental in enlistlng public co-operation in the movement, estimates that $500,000 will be r p- 'j available for continuing the campaign ,a this year. This is $1150,000 more than ^'S * was spent on the activity In 1921 and three times the amount used in any ""Siy-T previous season. With a half million J,>•,>'? dollars for 192S, leaders in the onder : taking are confident that enough progv ress cap be made to make possible the ^••completion of the original survey In T1924, if the present support is con- ^ tinned. Government Pay* Bilk The barberry eradication funds ar* furnished principally by the federal . government From 1918 to 1921, inclusive, congress appropriated $150.- 000 annually. In 1922 the snm of •$350,000 was allowed. This year the bill carried $425,000, but $125,000 is contingent upon an equal amount from state and private sources. The restriction on a part of the appropriation was Imposed as the first step in a policy to turn the burden of rust control over to the states after the completion of the original survey which is expected to establish the location of •every barberry bush in the vast territory from the Ohio river to the Rocky mountains. The $125,000 necessary to insure the 't maximum federal expenditure is in ;; sight, according to recent reports from the Interested states. The appropriation bills now pending in the several legislatures provide funds fo- the next blennium and leaders In congress have agreed to favor the continuation of federal aid in 1924 so that the money necessary to complete the survey seems to be assured. This year the original survey will be finished In the states west of the'Mississippi. This means that every town . and farm will have been visited by federal agents In search of barberry bushes. In the eastern group. Including Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan, Indiana and Ohio, the solng js m0re difficult and there Is no prospect of a completion of the survey before the end of 1924. By that time, the United States Department of Agriculture believes, there will be comparatively few common barberries in the spring wheat territory. It Is the present p)m then to turn over to existing state agencies the problem of getting out the remaining bushes and devtsing means to prevent a recurrence of the menace. The Conference for the Prevention of Grain Rust has announced that It will continue Its part of the? work, which consists largely In the distribution of Infonj&ntlc i concerning the connection between the barberries and black stem rust of grain. The conference also is engaged in an active effort to ejtable every farmer to Identify \he common barberry so that the bushes which are spreading rust may be dug without waiting for the government scouts to come aroattd tad find them.

Elk Springs, Mo.--Shelters beneath overhanging limestone Muffs along the White and Cowskin rivers In the Ozarks of Missouri and Arkansas are giving up to science the relics of a prehistoric race that inhabited this section upwards of a thousand years ago. The work of excavation is being done near here by an expedition from the Museum of the American Indian, Heye foundation. Buried deep In the-dry dust of centuries beneath these formations of shelving rock where the ancients made thei# homes, these relics are being unearthed with no little difficulty. / A cloud of powdery Just arises as the workers search the deposits for traces of a civilization that is still unidentified. Use of masks often is necessary. For the present the ancient people of the region are ~elng referred to by M. R. Harrington, in charge of the expedition, as the Ozark bluff dwellers. They have not been identified as Learn Trade Where Christ Did American orphan-wards of the Near East relief being taught carpentering In Nazareth on the very Spot where Christ Is said 'to have learned the same trade. The little round window at the right Is a part ofjtfee chapel erected on the site of the old carpenter shqp. the ancestors of any modern Indian tribe. Traces of More Modern Race. In some of the rock shal'ers, particularly in the Cowskin and Elk river, the expedition has found near the surface traces of a different and more modern, but still pre-colonlal, Indian race. These Indians, according to Mr. Barrington, probably were the Osages or some related tribe. It is estimated that even these specimens are at least three or four hundred years old. Those left by the spear-throwing bluff dwellers of the Ozarks, which also have been uncovered, are probably upwtrds of 1,000 years old. Everything so far found is purely aboriginal, Mr. Harrington explained, not the slightest trace of the white man's handiwork or influence having been discovered. Tlje specimens Include basketry, woven textiles, wooden articles. Implements of stohe and bone and even pleceB of pottery. Some of the articles no doubt were buried by the ancient dwellers for safe keeping, it is believed by the excavators, while others simply wore out and were discarded or lost In the ashes and trash of generations that has accumulate beneath the bluffs. ^ At some places the deposits have been found so well protected by the overhanging rock formation that they are absolutely dry, which has resulted In remarkable preservation. It was a visit by Mr. Harrington at the home in Senec\, Mo., of Dr. W. C. Barnard, who had one of the largest private collections of Indian relics in existence at that time, that resulted In the present expedition. That waa la the fall of 1914. Collection Aroused Interest. "Among his specimens," said Mr. Harrington, "were a number of piece* of baskets, {textile fabrics and wooden articles which gave every evidence ol being prehistoric. Knowing that suet perishable articles dating from thaJ period are practically unknown east of Utah and New Mexico, I inquirec ns to their origin and was surprised to learn that they came from the < tznrks, especially from the dlstrlcl along the upprfr "Thite river, when they have been found in dry deposit! beneath" overhanging bluffs. "I then and there planned to ex plore some of these rocky bluffs oi 'rock shelters,' as they are called bj archaeologists, but the opportunity dl< not come until May, 1922, when th« present expedition set forth from thi museum." Steeplejack Makes Fatal Attack r, M Wf?ian After aleatou* , - Quarrel ' if" " ' FALLS DEAD IN SNOW Pompton Lake, N. J.--A pdsse of W aaen with bloodhounds engaged in a wide hunt for John Manning, fortysix years old, a steeplejack from Philadelphia, suspected by police of stabbing his wife to death. The woman, with knife wounds in her body, was seen to run from her home to the street calling for help, and expired In the $now. The countryside was scoured for the alleged slayer, but no clue was found. The man hunt was resumed «'hen a large group of citizens and farmers joined the police in the search. Police believe jealousy was the motive for the crime. They revealed that the woman had frequently been seen In the company of a minister, who, they say, left Pompton Lake some time ago, after receiving threatening letters from an alleged anonymous writer. Jealous of His Wife. • Manning had been jealous of his wife for several years. Police Chief Miller said, ^bout two years ago he was,locked tup for attacking her, he said, and several times after that neighbors reported the couple quarreled bitterly, but no change on the husband's part was noted. About 6:15 at night police learned that Manning was seen alighting from a bus and making his way to the home of his wife, who lived with their two JUNGLE DEATH WATCH MAINTAINED At ZOO sr Lion afid lioness SfaricT Guard Over Their Lifeless Cubs. Toledo.--A overwhelming awful In its maintained In jungle death watdh, in its tenderness, yet savage intensity, was the lion house of the Walbrldge park zoo. The watchers are Sahara, the beautiful lioness lent to Toledo by the Cleveland zoo, and King, the pride of the Toledo collection. Between Sahara's two beautiful forepaws, but caressed tenderly at Intervals and guarded by two half-closed eyes, dimmed by grief, are two chubby, fuzzy cubs--both lifeless. Sahara will not believe they are dead--or knowing it, cannot cahn the overwhelming urge«bf mother love that has aroused all of the tenderness and all of the savagery of her Jungle nature. Only an occasional Whine escapes the lioness to indicate her grief. For more than 24 hours the deatrf watch has been maintained--since the great jungle stork flew over the animal home and left the lifeless lion son and daughter. »' Crouched, ready to spring^ Sahara has hardly moved a muscle since she cuddled these, her first born, to her Only twice has she left them--when Keeper Louis Scherer, anxious to put. an end to the heartrending death watch, entered the lion house to see if there was an opportunity to remove the two bodies: On both occasions Sahara has sprung, throwing herself fiercely against her cage, in an effort to drive off the intruder. And King, in such a frenzy *s Scherer never has seen this king of beasts since he took him as a cub to rear, roaring his rage, has tried to reach his keeper. . • j » "It's the old, old call to protect their young," Scherer said. "There will t* no use in trying to take the llfelesi cubs away from Sahara for a couple a days." So the big Hon house has been locke« to all but the keepers. Sahara will tx permitted to keep her death watel undisturbed until she realizes th' hopelessness of the struggtas. Eat* 31 Eggs at Meal; Has His Name Changed Moscow. Idahp.--Warren G.

Expired In the Snow., - children, # boy of eighteen and a daughter, fourteen years old. About 6:35 o'clock Police Chief Miller passed the house' and heard quarreling. He thought little of it because of the fact thai the couple had been reported quarreling before. A ftw minutes later Mrs. Manning ran from the house, calling for help. The chief ran In pursuit of her husband, whom he believed to -have been the person with whom she quarreled, but soon lost Bight of him. Neither of the children was home at the time of tBe alleged quarrel, the daughter having gone shopping and the boy to work. Shortly after the killing a general alarm to th$ police of the adjacent cities and towns was sent out for the arrest of Manning. The couple had been estranged for a few years.

Russian State Bank Veritable Gold Mitoe Moscow.--Ten million dollars' worth of gold, in Russian rubles and glistening ingots of bullion, are tyeaped up in the treasure vaults of th6 Russian State bank, the results of one year's activities of this soviet financial institution. Twelve months ago It started doing business with a capital of depreciated paper rubles. Under the management of old-time Russian bankers, who, never hesitated to take big profits, and urged along the same lines by the national necessity to accumulate real money, the bank has been adding daily to Its reserve fund. An American,-foi example, takes s perfectly good check for $500 to this bank to be cashed. He waits an hour , and receives a slip of paper bearing ••V cabalistic figures Showing that the cashier will band him $475 for the check. Thereupon he can. easily un- 5 derstand how some of the profits have been ny»de. The State bank has , , w a monopoly on foreign exchange, but £ 3^1* will pay In.actual American or English currency for the checks It receives, and the average foreigner much prefers to pay 5 per cent and receive real money. Instead of an armload of soviet paper. Blind Swede Invents Lamp Thai Rivals Sun xStockholm.--The problem of how to produce artificial daylight by electricity has been solved in Sweden as the result of a series of experiments by a Stockholm company familiarly known as "Aga," which is headed by the Nobel prize winner, Dr. Gustaf Dalen. Under the light of a lamp just perfected by Dr. Dalen, colors may be matched as accurately as If they Were being viewed in the light of the sun. In some ways, Indeed, this lamp is more satisfactory than daylight, as the latter varies somewhat with meteorological conditions, and is furthermore affected by reflections from colored walls or furniture. The principle of this new process for obtaining artificial daylight consists essentially in filtering tfee light from an isoelectric bulb so as to absorb a part ol the red and yellow light rays. The ray filter is iyade of optical glass of^the highest quality. A curious fact in connection with this new; invention is that Doctor Dalen, the president of the "Aga" company, and the insplrer, Jr not the inventor, of mojt of the company's products, is himself blind, having lost his sight while completing experiments with one of his inventions, the automatic light buoy, which is known mariners ail over the world. * , Acquitted of Murd«# Ai "* • Charge 44 Years Old the slain man, who testified that was present at the time of the ktin»g, 44 years ago.
