HUNTS WHITE BIRD
IN NEWFOUNDLAND
Explorers Seek Lost Plane of
Nungesser and ColL
Baltimore, Md.—Dr. James A. Ny
degger, who has had considerable ex
perience In exploring In Newfound
land, will lead a party afoot in an ex
ploration trip to the tablelands of tbe
island, in search of traces of the
plane of Nungesser and Coll, who
were lost while attempting the first
westward flight of the Atlantic.
Confident that Nungesser’s plane,
the Whit* Bird, spanned the Atlantic,
only to meet disastrous bead winds
and be forced off her course, as was
the Bremen, Doctor Nydegger says be
will explore every mile of the interior
of the island. He said:
“My impression is that they crashed
against tall trees or a mountain while
lost in fog. There were a dozen re
ports that persons had heard their
motor along the coast. The Guggen
heim foundation spent thousands of
dollars searching from the air for
traces of their plane, but if they were
lost in the tablelands the wreck
could not be seen from the air.
“The White Bird would disappear
from sight like a baseball in grass
three feet high. With two or three
trusted guides I will follow the Grand
Codary river Into the dense woods of
the island.
“I will send the guides back and
forth across the island, crossing and
recrossing until every mile of unex
plored territory is covered. I am con
fident I will find traces of them.
“While I hold out no hope that they
are alive, I believe we will find their
wrecked plane. It Is a little over a
year since their brave attempt to fly
from France to America failed, and
it is not too late to make a final
search.
“Nungesseris mother has always
maintained that somebody will find
the White Bird. 1 hbpe that I will be
the fortunate man.”
To Inherit $1,000,000
for Changing Hi* Name
Omaha, Neb.—What’s In a name?
Millions, perhaps, for Seth Rosewater,
the seventeen-year-old son of Mr. and
Mrs. Charles Rosewater of 258 River
side drive. New York.
Young Rosewater legally took the
name Seth Warner Buchard last Feb
ruary, his mother said. The Rose
waters formerly lived here. The name
is that of the young man’s maternal
uncle, Anson W. Buchard, formerly an
official of the General Electric com
pany, who died last year, Buchard
left no heirs besides his widow.
The widow, Mrs. Allene Buchard,
was understood to have proposed that
Seth become her principal heir, pro
vided he take the name of her hus
band and thus perpetuate the Buch
ard name. The Buchard estate has
been valued at more than a million
dollars.
“My son has not been adopted,”
Mrs. Rosewater said. “He is merely
going to carry on the Buchard name.
Our name will be carried on by our
eldest son.”
$420,000 Set of Books
Put in Harvard Library
Cambridge, Mass.—Eigbty-eigbt slim
volumes whose value was estimated
at $420,000 now repose In the Harvard
university library, having been brought
here from New York under armed
guard.
The volumes constituted a part of
the famous Eli Abethan collection of
the late William Augustus White of
Brooklyn, and were given to the uni
versity by his son, Harold T. White,
who acted on behalf of the heirs.
Among the most valuable of the
books are the 1599 edition of “Romeo
and Juliet,” of which only 12 copies
are believed extant; “Love’s Labor
Lost,” 1598 first edition; “Much Ado
About Nothing,” 1600; a third edi
tion, 1611, of “Hamlet,” and a 1608
copy of “King Lear.”
Uruguay Fruit Growers
Win Government Aid
Montevideo, Uruguay.—To aid the
country’s fruit growers the govern
ment of Uruguay has created a credit
of 10,000 pesos, which will be ex
pended under the direction of agricul
tural department engineers In dem
onstrating how fruits should be clas
sified and packed for export.
By the proper preparation of fresh
fruit, Uruguay not only hopes again
ship to Argentina, but also looks to
Great Britain for an outlet Recent
Argentine regulations proved preju
dicial to unclassified and unpacked
Uruguayan fruits.

SHAVE HEADS OF BAD
BOYS AS PUNISHMENT
i _
Argentina’s Method Proves
to Be Effective.
New York.—Down in the Argentine
republic if a boy ip bad and you whip
him he forgets the whipping but re
1 members the badness. But if you cut
off his hair, shave it right down to the
scalp, it hurts, and he forgets the
] badness and remembers the hair cut
ting.
With which Interesting homily on
South American discipline, Jose Ama
tuzzo of Buenos Aires, who is in
America now to study reformatories,
discussed recently the “reform camp”
he has built out of a real peniten
tiary in three years.
Officially, Jose is a Y. M. C. A. sec
retary on leave, loaned to the Argen
tinian government. Actually, how
ever, he Is a sort of big brother to 350
“bad boys” of his country. He has
taken the Juvenile malefactors of the
Argentine out of chain gangs Into
homes.
Started Work Three Year* Ago.
“Three years ago,” said Senor Ama
tuzzo, “the minister of education
asked me what I could do with the
boys who have received sentences for
crimes from the courts. Then they
were all housed In one building and
they were treated like prisoners. They
were always handcuffed or big chains
were placed on their ankles. So 1
didn’t know what I could do. But I
told him I’d try something.
“I demanded three things. First,
that there be no politics if I tried to
help the boys. You know there is
I nothing but politics in everything In
[ my country. Then 1 Insisted on run
ning ray own budget and last that I
should not take any men or women
, workers who came to me recommended
by officials. I knew that type in my
' country."
It’s a long story this bright, black
eyed young Argentinian bad to tell
in three years, for instance, his In
stitution has produced $200,000 worth
of various goods in his 17 phops and
IS farms. It has sjient the money for
more and better equipment It has
produced, too. one boy who is cer
tainly going to represent his country
in the coming Olympic games and an
other who has a pretty good chance
to do it
Knows His Boys.
It has produced carpenters and ma
son? who built 35 houses for them
selves. It has brought out a furniture
maker who sold a chair and desk to
the President of the republic—“at a
good price, too”—for his use In the
official headquarters of the Argentine.
Lots of other things have been done.
The thing that was most impressive
about the yonngster who in three
year? changed the system of handling
boy criminals is that he knows so
much about boys.
“I read the football stories in the
paper every day. I’ve learned the
boys are football crazy. So I know
the names of all the stars, and I ar
gue with the boys. That makes
friends.
"I don’t preach a sermon. I get
out and play with ’em. I pat them
on the back and shake hands.
“I haven’t whipped a boy since I
took the place. It Isn’t necessary
You can Joke with a boy and get him
to do more than you can when you
force him.
“When a boy Is a little bad 1 deny
him the swimming pool. When be
is very bad I cut his hair. They
love their hair and that’s what borts
them most.
“Let them plan things themselves.
They figure out their own menus, for
instance. They do whatever kind of
work they want to do.
“Take them places. I try to give
them little outings whenever I can.”
Jose got his training In the Y. M
C. A. schools here. He’s back now
officially representing the government
to study reform schools.
Influence of Health
on Progress Studied
Washington.—The history of health,
and how health conditions influenced
the progress of Americans for the last
300 years, is being studied for the
first time this summer. The American
Historical association has commis
sioned Dr. Richard H. Shryoek. re
search scholar appointed under the
$50.0i)0 memorial fund established In
honor of former United States Senator
Albert J. Beveridge by his widow, to
do this job.
Historians often mention spectacu
lar epidemics or strange medical prac
tices, and medical men record the tech
nical progress of their science, bnt
none heretofore has made an attempt
to relate the status of the nation’s
health with Its social background.
Doctor Shryoek will work this sum
mer among scholars of Washington
and Philadelphia.
Lapis Lazuli Monopoly
Given fo German Firm
Idar. Germany.—As first evldmce of
the much heralded trade development
! with Afghanistan expected to result
from King Amanullah’s recent visit,
a local firm announces that It has been
granted by the Afghan monarch the
monopoly for Importing Afghan lapis
lazuli.
It is claimed that nowhere iu the
world is tapis lazuli found of each
good quality as in Afghanistan. Idar
is a small town oa the River Nabe, a
tributary of the Rhine, and has a
special Industry connected with the
setting and mounting of semi-precious
1 stones.
WILL PRESERVE SCENE
OF ARTHUR’S BATTLES
—
Movement in England to
Save Historic Site.
I
Penzance, England. — A famous ■
stretch of the Cornish cliff on the
north shore of Cornwall, properly
known as Church Cliff, will soon be
come a national monument If plans
; made by Rev. A. Blissard Barnes,
vicar of Tintagel, some to maturity
• this year. This stretch of cliff, about
50 acres In area, stands as a bul
wark against the Atlantic rollers, and
commands magnificent views of a
countryside which is rich with legends
of Arthur Pendragon and his Knights :
j of the Round Table.
Below the cliff, and within view
I from its top, Is the precipitous Island I
rock upon which are a portion of the :
j ruins of an ancient castle, by popular j
i belief the birthplace of the afterward :
celebrated King Arthur. Not far '■
away Is the stone marked Slaughter !
bridge, where many say the last bat- J
tie of Arthur was fought, and where |
; the last of the Pendragons received !
i bis fatal wound.
Doubt Arthur Ever Existed.
Milton, in his History of Britain, :
• ramarks: “Who Arthur was, and j
j whether any such person reigned in j
Britain, hath been doubted heretofore, j
and may again with good reason.” |
| Scholars and historians have pointed j
out that there is little evidence worth |
| consideration that Arthur was more i
than the creation of natural myth, j
Yet to many Cornishmen, and to Eng- :
| lishmen and Americans as well, the |
heroic tales of the son of Uther, re- ■
corded first by Nennius in the latter j
| half of the Ninth century, and spun
1 since by poets and singers into a glis
i tening web of fancies and romance,
; have made the figures as real and be
lievable as those of the more auttien
| tic persons of history.
The proof of this lies in the num
I her of English tourists who visit the
| ruins at Tintagel, the town at Camel
1 ford, the battlefield at Slaughter
bridge, and otber spots closely asso
! ciated with the legend. In the last
half-decade Americans, too, have
found Cornwall. In Increasing num
; bers the summer tourists have invad
i ed the quiet country at the south of
England to bathe on her white
beaches at Penzance, Newquay, and |
Perrnnporth, to visit the famous tin •
mines near Redruth and Camborne, j
and to stand on the ground made fa- j
mous by the tale of Arthur Pendragon, j
in the north.
Ruined Castle Draws Many.
The chief Interest at Tintagel, of ;
course. Is the ruined castie, which la j
popularly referred to as King Arthur’s !
castle and so represented to tourists, i
Regardless of the truth of this claim, j
tlie spot has genuine historic associ- |
ations of later date, though it is now j
generally acknowledged that the I
crumbling ruins are of a period pos- j
terior to the Norman conqueror. A few ■
English writers, however, moved toj
defend the legends of the Pendragon,
have declared it possible that the cas
tle, or some mansion or dwelling, must
have existed there before the Con
quest ; that it was later restored by
ttie Normans In their own particular !
style.
At any rate, there must have been !
some sort of castle on the Island o 1:
Tintagel, or Tintagol, when Geoffrey !
of Monmouth, the most believable of
the early writers, recorded his version
of the Arthurian legend, about the
year 1147, At the close of that cen- j
tnry. It seems evident, the Norman'
family of De Hornacot, seated at 1
Hornacot, In North Hamerton, had a
grant of the manor of Bossinney, In
cluding. no doubt the Island of Tin
tageL They thereafter took the name j
of Tintagel as a part of the family j
name, which is thought to indicate |
that there was some castle or mansion ;
on the Island for them to reside in.
The isle of Tintagel and the ruins
upon it now belong to the prince of
Wales, as duke of Cornwall. Much of j
the other land of especial note In the
region is similarly protected for pos- [
terity. But the area along Church;
cliff, which Is atacbed to the glebe j
land of the vicarage of Tintagel, is j
the property of the church, and as j
such may be sold at any time, pro-1
vided proper authority Is obtained
from the ecclesiastical commissioners.!
Since the Increase in the tourist
trade of the region began, the value j
of the land for building sites has |
steadily gone up. Rev. A. Blissard;
Barnes and others Interested in the
sentimental value of the cliff front
have been alarmed lately lest an es
pecially fine offer Induces the church
to sell, allowing the cliffs to fall into
private hands.
I
Plan Traffic Tunnel
for Hongkong Harbor
Hongkong, China.—The Hongkong
government U studying a project to
link the Island with the mainland by
a traffic tunnel similar to tha Hol
land tubes, which Join Manhattan is
land to New Jersey.
Between Hongkong and Kowloon,
its mainland suburb, lies a three
quarter-mile-wide strait, which is
Hongkong harbor, crossed by an in
adequate ferry service, which U usu
ally suspended during the typhoons
which frequent this coast
Engineers estimate that the tunnel
need not be deeper than some sec
tions of the London “underground."
Such an undertaking, first of its kind
in the Far East would relieve the
congestion of Hongkong and promote
the already rapid growth of Kowloon
and other towns in British territory
on the mainland.
Glass Windows Found
in Old Roman Houses
Glass windows are not the relatively
modern things they are commonly re
puted to be. According to Dr. M.
Blaschke, a German ceramic chemist,
they were in use In ancient Rome.
Most of the panes did not exceed 12
by 16 Inches In size, though a few
larger ones have been found. Glass
making, known for many centuries In
Egypt, came to Rome relatively late.
During the time of Cicero, who died
in 43 B. C., glass objects of any kind
were rarities, and glass windows were
unknown. A hundred years later most
households owned some, and by the
time the empire was well established
glass was fairly common. The famous
mosaics of the later empire, notably
at Ravenna and Constantinople, were
made largely out of bits of glass.
Early Hydroair planet
The idea of a hydroairplane, which
had been suggested in patent specifi
cations by liugo Matullath of New
York in 3899, bad its practical origin
in Curtiss, who added to the airplane
with which he was experimenting at
Lake Keuka in 190S floats' placed un
der each wing so that in case of acci
dent the machine would not sink, but
could be reached and saved readily
with a boat. In fact. It will be re
called that Langley and other in
ventors for like reasons made their
experimental flights over bodies of wa
ter. Probably the first to add the
floats as an integral part of the ma
chine with the express idea of rising
from the surface of the water was
Fabre, who on March 28, 1910, made
the first flight with a practical hydro
airplane at Martigues on the Seine,
France.
Young Men, Get Married!
Youths should marry in their early
twenties if they want real happiness.
Whatever may have been a mans
chances against marrying happily at
twenty-three, they are quadrupled as
lie nears forty. The man nearing
forty may be a better man, he may
well be a worse man; at any rate ne
is a different man. Unless he has a
simplicity of heart and equality of
temper rarely found, he will demand
more and give less in marriage. No
marriage can be happy unless both
man and woman are happy in it, and
the woman who marries a bachelor of
forty will have to give more and take
less, and still be happy.—Norman
Davey in Smart Set Magazine.
Americans Buy Home of
Ampere as Memorial
Poleymieux, France.—The old home j
of Andre Marie Ampere, one of
France's electrical wizards, has been j
bought by Americans and given Into ;
the keeping of the French Society of '
Electricians.
Sosthenes Behn, president of the In j
ternational Telephone company, and j
his brother Hernand, were the donors
who made possible the establishment j
of the home as a permanent memorial i
to the man whose name is used as a
unit of measurement in electricity.
in keeping with the spirit of this
event, there was celebrated simul
taneously the inauguration of electric
service In this mountain village, near
Lyons, one of the few places In France
that still relied on candles and kero
sene.
