REAKING down under long contin- ued examination, John H. Curtis, the Norfolk boat builder who had put himself forward as an intermediary in the Lindbergh baby case, confessed to In- spector Harry Walsh of the Jersey City po- lice that his story was a hoax and his “negotiations” with the kidnapers were en- tirely a fake. He sald he never knew such persons as those he named to Colonel Lindbergh and to meet whom the dis- tracted father made many trips to sea on a yacht in com- pany with Curtis. In his brief written confession of his cruel swindle Curtis said he “became insane on the subject for the time being, which caused me to ereate the story In its entirety,” and that he was “brought back to his senses” by a telephone conversation with wife. Curtis’ activities .the night of the kidnaping were being investigated. He was locked up and later arraigned on charges of giving false reports that hindered the apprehension of the per sons guilty of the erime. If convicted he may be lhnprisoned for three years or fined £1.000, or both, He walved preliminary hearing, W. H. Stevens hig ils Arrested In Brooklyn for abandoning his family, Frank Parzych, a thirty- year-old narcotic addict, told detec- tives—and clung to the story after more than twelve hours of questioning —that he was one of a band of seven men who kidnaped the child and that the baby died after the man carrying him down the ladder from the nursery window accidentally dropped him to the ground. The police were inclined to believe this story was false. Though the authorities of the entire country are of course hunting for the kidnapers and murderers of the baby, New Jersey Is still the center of the operations, and the investigation there is In the charge of Wiillam H. Stevens, attorney general of the state, and of Prosecutor Erwin Marshall of Mercer county. Neither of these men i8 optl- mistie, fearing the case will be added to the list of unsolved crimes because, as Mr. Marshall sald, whatever trail there was is now virtually dead. The necessary excessive caution of the po- lice while the child was still thought to be alive lessened the chances for solving the mystery. However, Attor- ney General Stevens by no means gave up. At a conference of state, federal and county police and Investigators In Trenton, a plan was established for co-ordinating all activities in the hunt for the murderers, NE of the worst marine tragedies of recent years occurred pear the entrance to the Gulf of Aden when the new French liner Georges Philippar of the Messageries Maritimes sudden- ly burst into flames and was destroyed. he loss of life is uncertain at this writing, bnt probably about 100 per- sons perished. The survivors were plcked up by several steamships and landed In different ports, Two Brit- fsh vessels took 254 of them to Aden, and they said at léast 100 of the thou- sand odd aboard the doomed ship were trapped in their eabins, Many others lost their lives In the stormy sea. ROMINENT bankers and industrial leaders, convinced that publie fear and uncertainty have prevented the federal reserve system's policy from taking full effect in the stimulation of recovery of prices and of prosper fty, have formed a committee of twelve to ald in putting to work the hundreds of millions of dollars being poured into the market by the system in its program for credit expansion. These gentlemen gathered in New York at the call of George IL. Har rison, governor of the Federal Reserve bank of New York, with Owen D. Young as their chairman. The follow- ing statement was issued: “Governor Harrison of the Federal Reserve bank of New York has ealled together a committee composed of bankers and industrialists for the pur. pose of considering methods of mak- ing the large funds now being released by the federal reserve banks useful affirmatively In developing business, “Its purpose will also be generally to co-operate with the Reconstruction Finance corporation and other agen cies to secure more co-ordinated and #0 more effective action on the part of the banking and Industrial inter. ests.” SPEAKER GARNER put forth his own plan for depression relief, and it was indorsed by Repr ative Rainey, leader of the house. Its main features are: 1. Appropriation of $110,000,000 to be expended by the President in his discretion for the relief of destitution, 2. Increase of $£1.000000000 in the borrowing power of the Reconstrue- tion Finance corporation for loans to state and local governments, corpora. tions and individuals for the purpose of increasing employment, 8. A bond issue of $1,000,000,000 for construction of federal public works in the interest of revival of Industry and increase of employment, this ex- pense to be met by a tax of one-third of one cent a gallon on gasoline, UR senators are not yet willing to give us real beer, even as part of a plan to bring relief to the unem- ployed. By a vote of 24 to 61 they re- jected Senator Tyding's amendment to the tax bill, This amendment would have legalized 2.73 per cent beer with a tax of 24 cents a gallon upon it which was calculated to yield £200,000, 000 annually for amortization of a construction bond issue and an addi tional £200,000.000 to 300,000,000 that would have allowed that amount to be stricken from the tax bill V ITH the near approach of the '¥ Democratic national convention speculation as to the chances of Gov Franklin D.

Young, who had a large and hopeful body of supporters though he never had been an avowed idate, made the “final” announcement that he would not accept the nomination If it were of- fered him. In a letter to John Crow ley, publisher of the Times of Little Falls, Young's home town, he sald his reasons for this decision were “so con- trolling as not to be for argu ment.” It was assumed the chief of these reasons was Mrs. Young's ill health, cand open nderec In a radio address he set forth his personal platform con- taining planks designed to cure the ills from which the country is suffer ing. The main features were: Balance the national budget, A manufacturers’ sales tax to meet the $1.500.000.000 defici Reduction of national expenditures to an “irreducible minimum.™ Opposition to a veterans’ cash bonus, Repeal of the Eighteenth amend ment, Immediate modification of the Vol stead act, to permit wines and beer.

Clothe the President with power to extend, if need be, the moratorium on international debts “until a real solution can be reached.” Suppress “all blocs which bedevil legislation.” ENATOR WATSON of Indiana, majority leader of the senate, does not think congress can possible get through its necessary business with out a summer session before June 14, when the Republican national conven. tion opens, so he proposed to other leaders of both parties that a recess be taken from June 4 to July 11. Speaker Garner demurred, believing all legislation can be disposed of be- fore June 11, so a decision was post. poned until June 4. If it appears then that congress’ can end its work by June 11, the recess plan will not be pressed, NLESS reparations payments are maintained, Rumania, Jugoslavia and Czechoslovakia will refuse to pay their international debts. This was de- cided upon at a conference of these na- tions, which form the little entente, at Belgrade, and it will be thelr attitude at the coming Lausanne parley. It Is not a new position for them, and Is the same as that maintained consistently by France, their great friend Jugoslavia is especially concerned about reparations, since the amounts due It were estimated on the basis of damage done. The Jugoslavs fear Ger. many cannot be persuaded to resume payments, in which case they will lose annually an increasing amount begin. ning with $10,000,000 and reaching eventually $20,000,000, or a total in all of $875,000,000, Jugoslavia's war debts to the allles total about $300. 000,000, so that full cancellation of reparations and debts would cause a loss of $575,000,000.

CENTRE HALL. PA. ation One That Has Variety Quality of Protein Found to Be as Essential as Quantity. (By Prof. ¥. B. Morrison, Department of Animal Industry, Cornell University.) Variety may be more than the spice of life; it may even be necessary to life. Scientists have known the im- portance of protein for sixty years, but more recent experiments show that quality of protein Is as essen- tial as the quantity In a feed. Corn lacks two of the essential amino acids, and if a young pig is fed corn as its only source of protein, it will make no growth whatever, even if it gets an abundance of carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, and minerals, The proteins of milk, and eggs have exceedingly high food wval- ue, for they contain all of the neces sary amino acids in abundance. Pro- meat, proteins, and in quality, all of the cereals are similar, Nuvy beans, lima beans, and too little cystine, but peanuts furnish high. Recent experiments alfalfa hay Is have and proteins, that indicate deficient which it Is usually fed an abundance of this amino Swine and poultry are likely to suf- fer more from unbalunced proteins feeds not Con- sequently proteins furnis! by tank- wal, and milk nportant.

Orchard Pests Can Be Done Away With Good Fruit Is Produced by Healthy Trees. (By H. R. Niswonger, Field Horticul- turist, Colorado State College.) One of the best ways to control in- sect and disease pests in the orchard and to improve the quality of fruit this season is to give the orchard a thorough cleaning.
