Jailed at Regina ‘When Macomber was released from the Regina bastile in May where he had finished a term for forgery, he was escorted to the border and turn- ed over to North Dakota again to serve the 2' year sentence given him as Walker in 1915. Nothing more was heard of Macom- ber after his Armistice Day escape until July, 1929, when Wisconsin pri- son circulars informed the prison here that Macomber was back home serving concurrent sentences for bur- glary of three to five and five to 10 years, Scheduled for release from Waupun prison Saturday, he was met at the gate by Warden Patterson who re- turned him to Bismarck Monday to complete his sentence of 2% years with no privileges.

Cardiff, Wales, Oct. 17.—(?)—The “stay down” miners’ strike in the coal villages, punctuated by fights above and below the surface, began losing some of its force Thursday as many strikers came up to join wives and comrades keeping vigil at the pithead. Scene of Soviet, Japanese Clash This map shows the location, near Khabarovsk, of the frontier clash between Japanese and So- viet Russian patrols, the inci- dent bringing an official protest from the Russian government and stirring fears of fresh out- breaks.

Editor, Tribune: The article in the Peoples Form about Lief Erickson being the dis- jcoverer of America was very interest- ing but I do not like the impression |it seems to give, taking all the honor from Christopher Columbus. Perhaps the League of Nations could use this as a sanction against Italy, but otherwise, let us not be in a hurry to take away the honor from one of the world’s greatest discoverers. As we read it in the history, Colum- |bus did not start out to discover a jnew land but all his life he had had Good Business Men Utilize Elec- trical Advancements, Ro- tary Club Is Told Lighting has become a science in recent years, utilized by every good business man in the display and sale of his merchandise, B. K. Skeels, local electrician, told members of the Bis- marck Rotary club at the regular luncheon meeting of that group Wed- nesday. After tracing the history of light- ing and the effects of the changing age on the use of the eyes, Skeels concluded his talk by pointing out Pied Piper Killing _- Rats With Bacteria Mankato, Minn., Oct. 17.—(P)— offensive ‘Thursday as a modern Pied Pip- er and @ lieutenant in command spread death to rodents by a germ attack.

Recent advancements in elecirical science such as foot candle measure- ments, the light meter and direct, semi-direct and indirect lighting were explained, as well as the condi- tions to be taken into consideration when lighting a room. Skeels was introduced by Robert Ritterbush, program chairman. Wal- ter E. Sellens was taken into the club and the charge was given by R. E. Bergeson. President George Dullam an- nounced that the Utica Jubilee sing- ers would appear at the First Pres- byterian church Sunday night and George F. Will extended an invitation to attend the State Corn Show, which opens here Oct. 24. Panama Puzzled as Ships Put Out to Sea Colon, Panama, Oct. 17.—(?}—The United States cruisers which have been anchored in Limon bay slipped quietly to sea at 8 a. m. Thursday without advising Panama Canal at- thorities of their departure or their destination. In official circles it had been be- lieved that President Roosevelt, here on his vacation cruise, would request a naval review at Coco Solo and, con- sequently, the cruisers’ sailing created bewilderment. A Munich professor has taught fish to respond intelligently to sounds and colors. an idea that the world was round. Finally the Turks shut off the trade routes to the east and this added in- centive to his desire, for if the world was round the theory had its practical side in that the nations of Europe | could still trade with the east by water routes, From the direction in which Colum- bus sailed frem Spain it seems very unlikely that he got his sailing ideas from Iceland. Also he called the peo- ple he found “Indians” believing he East Indies. The Book of Mormon tells of somé@ |people, Jews, coming to Central or South America and founding a nation long ago; of a compass they had which would not register correctly when a would-be usurper held it, etc. So I suppose a good Mormon should be- lieve the leader of that party was the first discoverer of America.

Others quickly followed his {lead and proved his theory true, Le., that the world was round. This is one of the greatest enlighten- ing steps the world has ever taken. Columbus has a place forever, a trans- \cendent place, for by faith he swung out into the unknown and made of his hopes a wonderful reality. The executive council of the min- ers’ federation recommended Wed- nesday night that all strikers return te work. This closed the possibility that 176,000 workers would walk out in sympathy with those who started the strike Sunday in protest against the employment of 88 non-union fed- | eration men. Hundreds of men remained stub- bornly underground, however, and the generai walkout was estimated to have involved more than 10,000. | HUNTERS ARRESTED | Fargo, N.
