Abnormal Ground Swell Is Puzzling Hydrographic Officers Washington, April —An unusual phenomenon was today puzzling haval officers altached to the hydrographic office of the Navy department. An abnormal ground swell off the North Carolina coast was reported to the hydrographic office as occurring vesterday afternoon by the naval col- lier Prometheus in a dispatch which said: “At 2 p. m., April 28, 1922, in Jat- itude 35 degrees 50 minutes north, longitude 75 degrees west, with smooth sea and light northwesterly airs suddenly encountered extremely heavy ground swells from 65 degrees. The swells were approximate- ly 30 feet through to crest. The dis- turbance lasted about two hours. Continuous soundings at intervals of four minutes showed no bottom at 130 fathoms. At one time thousands of porpoises were leaping into the air. During the remainder of the after- noon experienced extraordinary cur- rnts varying in direction and strength but generally setting northeasterly; verified by astronomical observations and radio compass bearings.” Some of the older seagoing officers at the Navy department ventured the opinion that the disturbance might have been the result of some subter- rancan disturbance, an earthquake or subterrestrial shifting. That it was not of local origin, they said, s evi- | denced hy the inability to find bottom | at 130 fathoms. Nicholas, the last of the abdicated on a Friday.

DEMOCRATS FLIRTED WITH EX-PRESIDE] Letters to Grant, Given Publicity To- day, Showed They Wanted Him As Standard Bearer Chicago, April —I'our years be- fore Gen, Ulysses 8. Girant was elected president on the republican ticket, he was approached with a view to mak- ing him the democratic candidate an offer which he promptly and de- cisively rcjected according to letters published for the first time today. The historical paradox was re- vealed on Grant's centennial anniver- sary today by a Chicagoan, John C. Burns, son of Col Barnabas Burns, a Civil war soldier. In 1863 the ‘" democrats” of Ohio chose Col. Burna chairman of their central committee, Col. Burns wrote asking the Unlon leader if his name could be presented to the democratic convention. In reply the general said that he was astonished and did not know of any Indication he had ever made that he would be a candidate for office.

Is the campaign successful? Miss Thomas says so, She says at the conclusion of each speech 9 out of 10 of her male customers raise their neatly manicured right hands and swear.they'll mark opposite her name on the ballot next fall.
