NEW YORK, June IS. The secret j

mission made by Joseph 11. Urban, of
No. 13li Fast Forty seventh street. ,
Mr. Urban, who is a friend of Mr.
'Ravnholdt, came to a newspaper of
fice where a reporter by porsevor
ance dragged from him the informa
tion contained herein.
< "The secret." said Mr. Urban, "can

"But we have this plan: Mr. ltavn- i
holdt can grow hair on the baldest
head in two months, and for $500,000
t
he will grow it on any man’s head.
We do not want any money until we
have proved the discovery true and
genuine.
"The hair growing discovery, like
the other one, cannot be patented, and
the man whose hair is grown cannot
help learning the secret. So, if any
man will give us his verbal promise
in Hie presence of a committee to pay
$500,000 if we make good we will ac

"The $500,00(1 will be sufficient to

•ft JUNEAU. June 15. — Juneau long- p
ft: shoremen caused a patriotic demon t
ft: stration on the waterfront this morn-, t
ft ing that was some affair. The inci- t
dent following so closely on the heels t
of Flag Day was all the more rev n
markable. The demonstration was of t
short duration, but was intense while f
it lasted. |fl
The trouble was caused when the
steamer Princess Ena, freighter, be- r
longing to the Canadian Pacific Com- ] a
panv pulled into port. As the ship o
pulled alongside the Pacific Coast n
dock the heaving lines were cast to c
the dock. s
“Don’t touch them,” was the word t
quickly spread among the assembled s
longshoremen and dock hands, and ] t>
the lines were allowed to slide off i
into the water. They were pulled t
aboard the ship and again throw'll, a
* but again were allowed to slip from l
- the dock. g
W By this time the captain of the ship e
I was becoming warm under the collar p
and some hot words were heaved f
over the side of the ship to land on d
the heads of the longshoremen a
The words landed, on the broad 5
backs of the longshoremen unheeded p
and bounced back to the Ena a
“What’s the matter with you blank- a
| ety blank truck engineers, anyway?” p
| inquired the captain in no uncertain
B terms. His attention was called to s,
T the fact that the American flag should p
M be displayed from the forepeak. Some !n
” one had blundered, but when the flag p
| was put up, and the Canadian flag
ft also displayed at the stern, the l.nesjt]

"The Ktang de Rerre, transformed

thone being inaugurated today,” he
dded, "will lie the natural warehouse
or American products that no longer

The Ktang de Rerre is the first
heet'of water with the Mediterranean
due tint that catches the traveler's

icks of an enemy. The lake is about
7 feet deep in most parts. The en-|
ire silo's- length with little difficulty,
lay be utilized for docking facilities,
nd for the construction of factories
lid warehouses.
The Ktang de Rerre has t een con 1
ected with the sea at the Port of
iouc since lkf>4, but by a canal too
arrow and too shallow to accommo
ate big ships. It’s development as
n industrial and ■commercial port;
squired a deeper and wider outlet I
i the sea and a closer connection with !
le port of Marseilles, from which!
was separated by the rocky ridge]
f the Nerthe that shuts off France's
reat Mediterranean port from the in
erior and prevents its further ex
jnsion or development. To get el
ow room Marseilles had to push
Urough that rocky ridge, and it re
tained for this stupendous enterprise
> be carried out while legions of
renchmen are engaged with the Ger
lans at Verdun.
The original cutting through the
jcky ridge northwest of Marseilles
t a height of 50 yards above the level
t' the Mediterranean and about throe
dies long, was intended for a lock
anal, the railroad forestalled the
lower enterprise and it is through
lat tunnel today that the Paris-Mar
silles express whizzes after passing
dramas. With this railroad connect
ig with Avignon, Marseilles forgot
ie canal until 1873, w hen the Nation
1 Assembly took it up. Monsieur de
'rqycinet, today minister of state,
ave the project the benefit of his
ngineering experience, while he was i
render in 1886. With various rnodi
cations in the plans, the project was
iscussed until legislation was en
ded in 1903 calling for a canal about
,i miles long, running from the Medi
irranean at the port of the Estnque,
l»out ten miles from Marseilles, to
rles, to connect with the river
hone.
It is a water-level canal from the
>a to the Etange Berre; from the
tang Berre to the Rhone locks are
>q aired to prevent the river from
Hiring its mud into the waterway.
Work was begun in April, 1911, on
ie port of Lave, near the Estaque,
hich gives access to the canal from
te Mediterranean, but the actual
inneling of the Nerthe ridge began
lly during the first year of the war.
rom early in 1914 to February, 1916,
uir and a half miles of hole—the
ove tunnel it is called—was pierced
irough the rock and widened suffl
ently to let a train of cars through,
t the Mediterranean end the tunnel
completed with an aperture twenty
vo yards wide, larger than any other
lbway in existence. It will permit
sa barges with a draught of twelve
tent t< iass each other In opposite
lirections.
The canal was projected for an es
limntod yearly traffic of one and a
half million tons, or about 16 per
'ent of the traffic of the port of Mar
xeilles. It will exceed the estimate
if oxen a small part of the expecta
tions as to the development of tlic
fCtang de Berre Is realized. The nine
basins of the port of Marseilles have;
i total water surface of 1,48.) acres,
vr 33 times less than that of-the Kt.in

FRANKFORT. Germany, June 2* —
From experiences in the field in *{•.*

and h.is suggested to the German r v
eminent, that young < row s are nsfy
and a valuable source of fool, and
that the old, tough birds that follow
the armies by the tens of thousands

he used in making soap if not in ire

Dr. Schnee suggests .therefore, that

During the months of May, Jim . i d

In addition, the organs of the ld-ds

From a full grown crow there can
be obtained, he says, from hO to 15*1
grams of fat, or an average per imps
of 100 kilograms from every one hun

processes, this yields some seven or
eight kilograms of lard, which is much
in use in Russian peasant circles.
