SHIP WITHIN 6 MILES OF SINKING VESTRIS (Continued from First Page.) the Vestrls was at three o'clock on | the afternoon of November #1. At' that time the Montoso was drifting with a disabled steering gear and the Vestris, with engines shut down and water pouring into her hpeld, was tipping slowly over to star- board. A full galg was blowing and ap- parently the lookout on the Mon- toso saw nothing in the position of the Vestris to call for information and the Vestris made no attempt to communicate by signals. The Montoso drifted all night while repairs were being made and at noon the next day was 45 miles from the place where the Vestris | sank two hours later. The tramp got under way a few minutes later and continued its course, unaware that the Vestris had sent out an BOS. call two hours earlier and that ships much further away were rush- ing to the rescue. 4 After the tramp's first mate was excused United States Attorney Tut- tle, who is conducting the inquiry, stated that according to wireless reports submitted by Captain Luther Martin Overstreet of the battleship Wyoming, one of the rescus vessels. | another ship, the Italian Giorglo Ohison, was even nearer to the Ves- tris at the time of the distress call | than the Montoso. 1 It was shown that the Giorgio Ohlson, whihc did carry wireless, was only 35 miles from the Vestris at 10 o'clock the morning of No- vember 11. It picked up the SOS. and went to the rescus. The first | position given by the Vestris was | wrong, however, and the Giorgio Ohlson never did locate the true | position_of the sinking ship.

He no- ticed the loss when he attempted to reach down into his pockst for some change to pay for & purchase, but found that the meney as well as che check Was gol He immedi. ately notified those about him of the loss, and the incident became the topic of discussion for the mo- ment. He is & soldier at Fort Sam Houston, Texas, homse on furlough. 8carcely had he time to reslisze his lows, when a little boy approach- ed him and handed him a roll of bills, disappearing immediately. La- Palme, bewildered, counted the money and found the roll contained §60. This was a little teo much for him and he decided to visit pelice headquarters where he told Lieu. tenant Bamforth of the matter. It was concluded that the boy appro- ipriated the 360 from other sources and hearing of LaPaime's loss; re- turned the money to him. LaPaime in turn left it in the police head- quarters with & regretful, “Well, I'm out $51."

The proclamation reads: “Appreciating the fact that ever since its establishment and conduct under the same manage- ment in every issue of your repre- sentative .

NO PAY FOR DEATH Ut PLLARS BéikG OF ‘EDUCATED' DOG Judgment Against Woman Who Sued for Loss of Pet Judgments for the defendants in three civil actions were rendered today in city court by Judge Henry P. Roche, among them being the much discussed case of the “edu. Roche ruled for the defendant to vecover costs. The plaintiff, Mrs. Michaelina Marion, sued for §500 I“ which $50 was asked for a poodle dog, which was killed at the inter- section of Washington and Bread strects last summer. In rendering the decision Judge Roche finds that the plaintiff failed to prove that the defendant Stanley Bogdanski actually killed the dog with his car, in that she claimed that the car which struck the dog was of & light ma%e and dark in col- or whereas the defense proved that Bogdanski drove a light colored machine of a heavy make. It was on this grouad therefors that judg- ment was rendered for the defend- ant. M. F. Stempien represented Bogdanski. In the $2,000 action of Alexander Karvoski against August Cavecchi, Judge Roche ruled for the defen- dant on his counterclaim to recover costs. The action ver an autoe mobile accident at the intersection of Myrtle and Washington streets on June 33, 1936, in which Kar- voski's machine figured in a colli- sion with & truck owned by the de- |fendant. In making his findings, pesition of the cars as shown on & diagram and on testimony of dis- interested witnesses it appeared that the truck was at the intersec- tion when the plaintiff drove into it at a high rate of speed and with- out keeping a proper lookout for other vehicles. The court finds that the accident was entirely the plain- tiff's fault, and thereforq judgment for the defendant to recover $37.12 damages to the truck was rendered. Warren Maxwell of Hartford repre- sented the defendant, Because the defense st up minor- ity as & defense, judgment was ven- dered for the defendant in the action of Frank Prosperi against Ludwig Juchnlewics. The plaintift sued for the balance on a motorcycle bought by Juchniewies, which later figured in an accident and was demolished. The defendant collected $1,200 frem the insurance company for per- sonal injuries and property damage and took the cycle to the plain{ift for repairs. The vehicle was repaired, and the cost was $172.50, which the defendant would not pay. The mo- torcycle was later sold for $125 by the plaintiff, it was testified during the trial. William F. Mangan rep- resented the defendant, In the action of Samuel Pavano against Joseph Zuk, Judge Roche rendered decision for the plaintiff to recover $79.18 from the defendant for willful and malicious injury and breaking up of a concrete sidewalk. Attorney M. Sexton represented the plaintift. Judgment for the plaintiff for $115 was rendered in the action of Josepl Cantino against William B. ‘Weszyna, for work done in plaster- ing & house at 111 Sterling street. L. Appell represented the plaintiff.

Miss Gardner has been working in rural districts to promote recreation for farm women and children. She reports that in remote regions of Virginia she has found games still in vogue which wers enjoyed in colonial days and even in England before that time. She found that people living in [these remote districts clung to their old time games which were in many !instances beneficial from a recrea- | tional point of view. ‘“Ring Around A-Rosy” and "London Bridgs” may not be as picturesque as medern esthetic dancing but government ex- perts found that they are good rec- reation aids.

SEISMOGRAPH MADE Discovered New Orleans, La, Nov. 30 (P~To |8 simple copper object hammered out by a Chinese coppersmith in gin of the seismograph, that deli- cate pcientific apparatus that records and charts earthquakes. The Rev. O. L. Abell, seismolo- gist at Loyola university here, says that recent research has disclosed such an instrument was in use more than 2,000 years ago. ‘This original seismograph as wrought by the Chinese coppersmith was described as practical as well as unique, the simplicity of its de- sign afording an interesting contrast to the complicated modern device. According to the Rev. Father Abell, it consisted of a pendulum |suspended within & hollow copper sphere. The pendulum was free to move in eight directions, and on the outer surface of the globe, corre- sponding to these directions, ap- peared eight dragon heads. In the throat of each a small ball which fell when an earth tremor caused the pendulum to swing. Located at varying points op the sphere also were the upturned mouths of frogs, and the ball, upen being dislodged trom a dragon's mouth, fell into one of these. Thus, if the ball was forced from the southeast side of the instrument land fell into the mouth of & frog on the northwest, it was deduced that the shock came from the southeast, proceeding in the direction taken by the ball. ‘The present seismograph was de- veloped about 40 years ago as the ye- sult of the efforts of five English scientists, Gray, Perry, Milne, Shaw ‘and Knott. ‘The instrument at Loyola, known as the Weichert astatic seismograph, iccnlinfl essentially of a heavy in- verted pendulum, perfectly balanced but in a state of unstable equilibrium earth tremor. Instead of standing with the weight on the bottom, this pendu- lum has the weight on top and re- acta to earth movements not by the motion of the heavy mass of the |pendulum itself, but by the rela- tive motion of the pivot with ye- spect to the masa balanced above it. The inertia of the great mass gives it tends to overtake the motion of the | earth. | From the bob of the penulum, delicate pens are projected on a smooth writing surface on a.revolv- ing drum. These pens trace the rec- ord of the earth’s tremors, which are transmitted to the apparatus up |through the earth by long pilings |driven deep into the ground beneath | the university science bullding.

(F—A com- | plete primitive Indian fish hook of ‘wood and bone which has been lying {in the National museum for many | vears has recently been discovered, from the scientific point of view, by J. P. Harrington of the bureau of American ethnology. It was obtained from Indians on |the lower Klamath river and pre- | sented to the museum with other ancient objects by F. E. Gist of Cali- fornia, but has remained practically unnoticed. Meanwhile archeologisll{ and ethnologists have been searching for years in old Indian village sites and rubbish heaps along the Cali- NOW in the course of construction. fornia coast for such a specimen to | help throw some light on the pre- | historic fishing customs of that re- gion. “This hook,” says Mr. Harring. ton, “has & straight three-inch shaft of hard wood instead of bone, which was alse used in the construction of such implements. The point, appar. ently of deer bone, is round, sharp and straight and has no barb. The cord i still attached to the shaft and is of Indian hemp, sometimes called iris. The fine thread wrap- pings for holding the point in place and also for attaching the cord are smeared over with boiled pitch to strengthen and preserve them, “Although the barh was known to | the Indians, & great many of their hooks lacked it, as does the present one. The shaft and point were spliced together at an angle of about 15 degrees and were used the same as & modern hook. By proper use of the unbarbed hooks they were able to catch large quantities of fish. “It has bheen known for many vears that the Indians used two- piece fish hooks. Numerous pieces of | bone, which apparently were parta of | such hooks, have been excavated at various localities along the Califor- nia coast, but apparently none had ibeen discovered with the lashings intact, and their true purpose there- fore remained doubtful.” Two Killed in Plane Crash in Portugal Lisbon, Portugal, Nov. 30 (®—A {military plane today collided with a |cable attached to a captive balloon at Albert aerodrome.
