Correspondence of the Assoclated Pres BERLIN, January 26.—When_the apple growers of northern New York or of the far Northwest want to know when, where, and in how great quantities it is advisable to ship their product to Germany, they will hereafter be able to obtain accurate advice from the Department of Agriculture at Washington, or from its Berlin office at 6a Pariser Platz. They will thereby avoid the situa- tlon that obtained with reference to the 1924 crop. Relying upon the ad- vice of European brokers, the apple growers shipped large quantitles of apples to Germany In September and October. These shipments arrived about the time that apples from Czechoslovakia, Austria and France poured in, and German apples still further helped to glut the market. The result was a loss' to apple grow- ers all around. No Spring Supply. This concentration of shipments in the late Autumn has meant also that in March and April Germany will have practically no apples. The European varieties won't keep so long, it seems, and no provision shas been made for American apples to be shipped. Apparently nobody has ever made it his business to supply the American apple growers with au- thentic information, and the Depart- ment of Agriculture’s foreign service proposes to remedy this defect. With this in view, an expert on apples is making a careful survey of European apple growing. He is visiting the apple centers and is or- ganizing an information service by which American growers will mnext year know exactly how good and ample the European crop is, when and where it Is being moved, and at what time and In what quantities American growers can hope best to dispose of their export product. SAVANB‘AH CLAHVIS FIRST AERIAL MAIL SERVICE One Flight of Mile 14 Years Ago Declared to Be Forerunner of Present Bystem. Correspondence of the Assoclated Press. SAVANNAH, Ga., February 7.— Claims for vannah as having in- augurated the aerial mail service 14 vears ago have been set forth by Henry Blun, who was postmaster here at that time. “Aerial route No. 1, with a Curtis plane, one of the progenitors of those now in use, picked up letters at a base ball park and carried them to a wagon less than a mile away,” Mr. Blun said. One flight marked the beginning and the end of the service, the speaker declared. Owing to the shaky construction of the machine, preparations that had been made for Mr. Blun to accompany Beckwith Havens, New York pilot of the plane on the fiight, were abandoned, the pilot considering it too much of a Tisk Mr. recalled the machine used as having bamboo-supported wings, with the aviator occupying & precarious perch upon a small box with control levers protruding at many angles in front of him.

STORMITAKES TOLL FROM CALIFORNIA Power Lines, Railroads and Buildings Damaged by Wind and Floods. By the Associated Press. SAN FRANCISCO, February 13.— Northern and central California are recovering from buffets of a storm severe enough to rip buildings from their foundations, cause at least one train wreck, wash out rallroads and highways, prostrate light and power wires, and even change the contour of the landscape in places by causing tremendous landslides. The storm is not over, aceprding to the United States Weathe? Bureau here, but it is generally believed that the “peak” has passed. Many thou- sands of dollars’ damage was caused and one life lost. John Watson, a former marine and former resident of Aberdeen, Wash., was killed In a cellar cave-In near St. Helena. Two fellow workers, R. 8. White and C. D. Clark, were injured, White seriously. The cellar had been undermined by flood waters. Floods Receding.

The Northwestern Pacific Railroad, virtually bereft of all service since eurly vesterday morning, hoped to get two stalled passenger trains through from Eureka tonight. It was on this line that the wreck occurred, the lo- comotive and two coaches of a south- bound passenger train sinking into a rain-formed slough at Novato, 25 miles north of here, and overturning. The area that the storm struck hardest is known as one of the chief playgrounds of California. It begins With the timber. stands of North Hum- boldt County, with some of the trees older than the period of time coverad in the New Testament, and at its other terminus is the Marin Peninsula, northern extremity of the Golden Gate.

Correspondence of the Associated Press. HONOLULU, January 14.—Not one of the two-score children born to Japanese parents in Hawail since De. cember 1 has made a reservation for the retention of his Japanese citizen- ship under the new expatriation law which Japan placed in effect Decem- ber 1, according to Keiichl Yamasaki Japanese consul general 2 ritory. The law, seeking to abolish dual citizenship if such elimination is de- sired. provides that all children borm to Japanese parents in the United States after December 1 shall be re- garded as exclusively American clti- zens unless parents, within 14 days after birth, expressly reserve Japanese cltizenship for the child through the Japanese consulate. Failure to regis- ter such reservation automatically re- linquishes any claim which the Jap- anese government might have on that child, as in the case of dual citizen- ship which prevailed prevolusly. Vital ‘statistics show that upwards of 40 children have been born to Jap- anese parents since December 1. Explaining the working of the new law, Consul General Yamasaki sald: “I am personally urging expatriation of those Japanese who are going to make the United States thelr home in the future and urging parents to take advantage of the new law which aids them In effecting expatriation of their children, “The new law is a measure of the desiré of the Japanese government to remove objections raised to the former dual citizenship and further evidence of my government's desire to main. taln friendly relations, “I am only asking Americans to ex- ercise tolerance and patience with the Japanese as with other races, to the end that the Japanese may be under. stood better. T belleve a better un. derstanding will remove all of the prejudice now lodged against my peo. ple and T am confident that Americans in their hearts mean to be absolutely fair and just to them.” Pigeon Reveals Mail Cache, Two boys at play in Montgo Ala., saw a wounded plgeon m}‘u’ffq?é to refuge and followed it, with ths result they discovered a lair used in a malil robbery scheme. Packages of letters of {nsurance and banking im- portance were found. Many of the letters have been robbed of the checks.

Electric shocks are becoming so numerous, due to the increasing use of electricity in all walks of life, that first ald organizations are em- phasizing safety measures in giving rellef. Where the shock is obviously too great to allow for human con- tact to arrest the victim, a noncon- ductor such as rubber gloves, a dry wood stick or dry clothes can be used safely. If it is necessary to cut a wire the safest way is to use a hatchet or ax, with a wood handle that is dry, and to turn the face away to avoid the flash that might ruin the sight. < Jrom the AVENUE o NINTHS That will odd coat These trousérs wer Stripes and fancy All sizes. = U 300 Pairs Men’s Trousers wmatch your and vest— $ 4.65 Specially Priced e made up from suiting materials—in the same patterns and colors most popular in sack suits. mixtures in worsteds, serges, herringbones and cassimeres. HERE's 795 1t EASH AN ™My CHecx For¥3.50 TH YEAR- ILLTAKE My MEDICINE REFUGE FOR EXTREMES OFFERED IN PORTUGAL Communists and Banished Princes Alike Find Haven in Sunny Clime. Correspondence of the Asociated Press LISBON, January 13.—The Portu- guese republic is in a fair way of becoming a complacent land of refuge for the Communist who has no coun- try and the royal prfnce who has no | home. Driven out from other coun- tries of Europe, these wanderers se~m | to head for Portugal, on the western edge of Furope, and cause trouble for the Lisbon police. There is no no other state to which they can be passed along, and vessels dropping anchor in the Tagus do not seem to want them as passengers Some of thg Communists travel like princes, and there is here today one prince in particular who looks like a shabby suspect. Hotel porters are sometimes at a loss whether to a dress a new guest vour highnes: or_simply mrade. The followers of Communism, un- der the influence of the warm Portu- guese weather, often assume the mild and satisfied air of people who are taking the rest cure. As for the prince, a relative of the King of Spain Wwho recently was driven out of France, this man stalks about moodily and bemoans his banishment from the pleasures of Montmartre. Banditry along the frontier of Hon- duras is seriously affecting business | result of the cathedral drive in this sped toward completion at Morning- side Heights. Liberal churchmen of the metropo- lis have seen in the recent drive for the cathedral and the wonderful re- sponse made to it a long step toward what they regarded as church unity. Posters announding the drive refer- red to the cathedral as a “shrine of worship for all people.” The drive caught the fancy of New York. Many of the donations which flowed in were contributions toward “the big church”—the big church that was to belong to all New York. Drive Was Nation-Wide. The appeal for the Cathedral was not only city-wide but nation-wide. It was addressed to all the peopl And all the people responded. Jews. Catholics and all of the Protestant denominations have given virtually as freely as the members of the Protestant Episcopal Church, whose bishop presides at the Cathedral. One of the heaviest individual con- tributors was John D. Rockefeller, ir., a Baptist. Mr. Rockefeller's gift was for $500,000 and there have been in- timations that he might give more as the work progresses and more funds are needed. It was Mr. Rocke- feller who made the suggestion, not as a condition of his gift, but as a churchman deeply interested in unity, that representatives of some of the other denominations be invited to be- come a part of the board of trustees, made up at the moment exclusively of Episcopalians. Decides He Cannot Comply. Bishop Manning received the sug- gestion and considered it. But he found he could not comply, his ex- planation being that the time was not yet ripe for such a step. The decision was an i{mmense disappointment to the workers for fraternity among the Christian churches, and cast some- thing of a chill over the closing days of the drive, which {s to end February 23. Some of those who have taken an active part in the effort to complete the cathedral, whose construction has long been delayed, are endeavoring to get Bishop Manning to reconsider, and have cited to him the fact that in the past the board of trustees of the Na- tional Cathedral, at Washington, has included representatives of church de- nominations other than the Protestant Episcopal. Some religious animosities have broken out in other directions as a city, a number of Roman Catholics being taken to task for contributing to the upbuilding of the Protestant Church, | Prominent Catholic Comtributors. Al Smith and Mayor Hylan e been among the more prominent Catholics who have contributed, and an effort is being made today to get every one of the 12,000 policemen of | the city to give a mite of his earn- ings, regardless of religious faith. Despite these setbacks, there is a feeling that fraternity among the churches has been helped by the ca- thedral drive. It has brought pen- nies from the Jewish children of the East Side and it has attracted thou- sands of dollars from wealthy homes regardless of creed. New York has wanted to call the cathedral its own. The drive has stirred a religious feeling in the metropolis at a time when it was felt to be bitterly need- ed, for New York's plays and ways have been rather wicked of late. (Copsright, 1925.)
