The half-gallon can as a staple size for commodities such as ofls, greases, paints, varnish and industrial com- pounds will gradually Aisappear if the standardization experts of the Government and large industries are successful in their undertakings to do away with so many sizes in their efforts to simplify industries. Some industries, doubting the wisdom of the move, zre studying the “eco- nomic” values of these small sizes by offering them at the full gallon price, instead of at a premium, as has been the custom.

Special Dispatch to The Star. WATERTOWN, N. Y., December The recent sinking of the U. S. Washington was a crime, That cer- tainly was not economy,” said Rob- ert Lansing, Secretary of State in the Wilson cabinet, today, commenting on disarmament, the program of econ- omy of the Coolidge administration and the possibility of war with Ja- pan. Mr. and Mrs. Lansing arrived here Friday and are guests of his sisters. “I felt that an older battleship, of which wo have many, might just as well have been sunk in place of the Washington, which was nearly fin- ished nad one of the latest types of battleships we have developed. Of course, the information obtained in| her sinking will be of tremendous value, but |t seems like a waste of the people’s money.

Chemist Detective Finds Many Clues On Headless Body Sets Police After Gaudily Carpeted Room With Gaudier Cat. By Cable to The Star and New York World. PARIS, December 27.—The chemist Bayle, who is the Paris Sharlock Holmes, has labored over a headless, dismembered body found 10 days ago at La Villette, and has decided that an American is involved, either as the vietim or as the murderer. On the margin of the newspaper in which the body was wrapped Bayle has found a few words scribbled in green Ink such as is used in fountain pens. The words begin: “Find by—" and trall off into a third undeciphered word that resembles “police. By the detailed microscople exami- nations which have made the French police methods famous Bayle says he has established that the body was cut up in a comfortable wpartment with a wooden floor, a green and pink car- pet, and that a black and yellow cat lived in the apartment. The police are looking for such an apartment and are likewise dragging the canals for the missing head of | the victim. (Copyright, 1924.) GRIMKE TO QUIT OFFICE.
