.'USES CARRIER
PIGEONS FOR
NEWS SERVICE
NOGALES, Ariz., Aug. 13 (by Asso
ciated Press).—An evening newspaper
has just established carrier pigeon
news service in conjunction writh its
news department. Thirtys-six pigeons
are housed in a roomy cot obtained
- through the local army post and lo
cated atop the newspaper building.
The service is intended for use by
*
officers of the law and news men
when they go into mountainous dis
tricts in Arizona or Mexico where no
telephone or telegraph is available.
Arrangements have been made with
the Samta Cruz county sheriff’s office
to carry one or more of the birds when
a man hunt is on in the mountains.
Private individuals will also use the
'-Sff'ds when desiring to send back mes
sages from inaccessible points of their
travels.
Five of the pigeons were taken to
Patagonia today for a test flight. They
wrere back in their cot on the news
paper building within fifteen minutes
of release. Patagonia is a mining
camp in the mountains. By road,
which winds and turns, it is 28 miles
**’ from Nogales. By airline, aviators
have measured the distance as 15
miles.
This is said to be the first instance
in the United States of a like news
service being installed by a publisher
^ in a city of this size.

AMBASSADOR’S FATHER
LOST CARGO OF FLOUR
IN ’FRISCO GOLD RUSH
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 13 (by As
sociated Press).—The fact that barrels
of flour floated around in San Fran
cisco bay in the year 1850 could-hard
ly be expected to interest a present
day ambassador from Chile to the
United States, said Beltran Mathieu,
the Chilian Ambassador at Washing
ton, but in this case it was a matter of
family history.
Mr. Mathieu said that his father, a
young Chilean merchant, conceived
the idea when the California gold
rush spread to South America that
flour would be much in demand in
San Francisco. So a ship was char
tered, loaded with flour and the sails
set for the north.
Unfortunately for Mr. Mathieu’s
father, many other people had decid
ed that similar ventures in flour would
be profitable, and when his ship sailed
into the Golden Gate flour could hard
ly be given away, there was such a
supply there. The elder Mathieu took
his cargo of flour and dumped it over
board into the bay, sold his ship for
what little he could get for it and de
cided to make San Francisco his fu
ture home.
For several years he ran a store in
San Francisco, but finally sold out and
returned to Chile, where he remained.
GERMAN EMIGRANT
WORKMEN ARE MOVING
BERLIN, Aug. 13 (by Associated
Press).—The first contingent of Ger
man emigrant workmen has sailed
from Stettin to Reval enroute for
the Koloma industrial center, 75 miles
from Moscow. Most of the men are
metal workers and building trade oper
atives. During the next few weeks,
according to the Tageblatt, several
more batches of 1,000 workers each
will follow.
The German government after'pro
tracted negotiations is now issuing
emigration permits on a large scale.
The Tageblatt also says that a trade
union commission will shortly pro
ceed to Russia in order to satisfy
itself that the men are suitably em
ployed tfnd housed.

QUEEN’S PLAY
BE PRODUI l
IN AMERICA
PARIS, Aug. 13 (by Associated
Press).—“The Lily of Life,” written
by Queen Marie, of Rumania, which
was recently given its first and only
performance at the opera here, proba
bly will be presented in the United
States and other countries the com
ing winter for the benefit of Ruman
ian war charities, it is announced.
Critics described the piece as
neither opera nor pantomine but “a
play sung and danced.” It is a fairy
story, conceived by the queen to amuse
one of her daughters when ill. On
the night of its presentation here the
royal author with her three daughters,
were in the audience, a gathering such
as even Paris rarely affords. The
diplomatic corps, including American
Ambassador and Mrs. Wallace, mem
bers of the government, and leaders
of society applauded the piece and
showered compliments upon the
queen.
The little fairy tale was set to the
music of many composers, Grieg, De
bussy, Mendelssohn and others. La
Loie Fuller, the American dancer and
her pupils interpreted the fairy scenes.
The cast included Stroesco, Bayard,
Parny, Caillebet, Jeanine Zorelli and
Madame Lemoine.
It is the story of a beautiful princess
whose sister is loved by Prince Charm
ing. He became ill and the two
sisters nursed him. The unloved hero
ine, learning that somewhere there
is a “Lily of Life,” whose possession
would enable her to have her great
est wish fulfilled, set forth to find it.
She wandered through dark forests,
met good fairies and bad, found the
lily, saved the prince from death and
then, happy, disappeared in the night.
VIOLA ALLEN TONIGHT
AT EMPRESS THEATER
IN ROLLICKING COMEDY
Some bride! That is what her hus:
band thought, after she had thoroughly
and scientifically cured him / of jeal
ousy. Her methods were original and
effective. Viola Allen, as the oride, is
the most bewitching little flirt that
ever danced across the screen. Her
husband could not be blamed for his
jealousy, and yet, he had cause. The
fault all lay in those great glorious
eyes. But she dealt him a dose of his
own medicine. It is a breezy story
of unusual fascination,—a mirth-pro
voking series of girlish inconsisten
cies,—a play that will tease and fas
cinate you. Booked tonight, at the
Empress.
On Sunday night Tom Moore, the
popular Irish comedian, with his blar
ney and his smile, in a comedy drama
that is full of thrills, suspense, ro
mance and fun. A modern story of
an up-to-date millionaire’s daughter
who knew what she wanted and how
to get it. But you really can’t blame,
her for wanting her father’s chauffer,!
when you learn that it’s Tom Moore
in chauffer livery. It’s something to
look forward to on Sunday night.
And just to start the coming week
off right, on Monday and Tuesday
Anita Stewart is coming in “Virtuous
Wives,” a play based on the sensa
tional novel of that name, which ran
in the Cosmopolitan in serjal form a
few months back. And when we say
that the play is as novel, as sensa
tional, as startling and as fascinating
as was the story, we have said enough
to arouse your, interest in next Mon
day’s program.

EXPENDITURES AND
REVENUES OF'NEW
FOUNDLAND GROW
ST. JOHN’S, N. F., Aug. 13 vby As
sociated Press).—A striking increase
in both revenue and expenditures of
the government of this colony and in
its foreign trade is shown in figures
contained in the budget speech of the
finance minister made shortly before
the recent prorogation of the colonial
legislature. There has been a steady
advance since 1914, with the exception
of a falling off in exports and imports
in the first year of the war.
For the fiscal year ended on June
30 last the finance minister estimated
the colonial revenue at $11,400 000 and
expenditures at $10,800,000, as com
pared with $9,535,725 and $5 736,380
respectively in the previous veac in
1914 the revenue was only ?3 >20, ?p
and expenditures were $3,900,764.
In the years since the beginning of
the war the colony’s foreign trade has
more than doubled, increasing from
$30,328,269 in 1914 to $70,081,183; in
the latter, the balance of trade swung
in favor of the colony to the extent
of $3,487,432. This change is note
worthy because of the fact that New
foundland has only one important in
dustry, its fisheries, which provide
about 80 percent of its exports.
BOOK BORROWING
TO BE MADE EASY
CHICAGO, Aug: 13 (by Associated
Press).—Borrowing a book from the
public library in one city and return
ing it to the library in the next town
where he makes a stop may be ar
ranged for the benefit of the travel
ling man.
The national council of travelling
men’s associations has appointed a
committee to see what can be done
along this line and has asked the
American Library Association to ap
point a similar committee to confer.
The library association, accepting

own committee. John Adams Lowe,
vice-Librarian of the Brooklyn public
