Wealth from Binder Twine
{By Associated Press)
MERIDA, Yucatan, May 5.—Meth
ods to restore ' Yucatan’s dominance

find means to regain the millions for
merly received from the wheat re
gions of the United States for sup

commerce and industry will present
a project for the organization of a
huge cooperative organization, in
which every factor interested in the

FAMOUS IRISH BAND
MAY TOUR AMERICA
(By Associated Press.)
DUBLIN, May 9—The Free State
Army band has now reached a stage
of artistic skill in which it can bear
comparison with the best military
bands in Europe. It has frequently
filled the Theater Royal with enthu
siastic audiences at good prices, and
its performances throughout the
provinces have been warmly wel
comed.
It is now suggested by some Am
erican friends who have heard the
band that it should be sent to the
United States to give performances
in centers where there are large
populations of Irish origin, and the
defence and finance ministers have
been asked to consider this proposal.
Sailors of All the World
Rely On English Justice
(By Associated Press)
LONDON, May 5.—It is not gener
ally known that sailors of every
nationality bring their grievances to
a court in the block of buildings
known as the Law Courts in the
Strand. This is the “Admiralty
Court,” over which presides a pres
ident and two Trinity Brethren, and
it deals with cases of collisions be
tween vessels in any part of the
world or of any nationality; the as
sessing of damages for such colli
sions, arbitration in connection with
towage of a valuable cargo, and even
disputes between the captains of two
foreign vessels.
When a ship of any nationality is
disabled at sea and another comes
along to help, the captain of the dis
abled vessel may ask what the other
will charge to tow him to the nearest
port. The reply often is, “leave it
to the Admiralty,” meaning the court
situated in the Strand, London.
One reason for this general conti
nence of sailormen in the1 Strand
justice house is said to be the abso
lute impartiality dealt out there. Al
so the twro Trinity Brethren who sit
with the judge have been masters of
ships for many > years^ and can talk
freely with the contestants in their
own tongues and in their seafaring
lingo.

Poor Get First Call
On Houses Built By
British Municipality
(By Associated Press)
BIRMINGHAM, Eng., May 6.—The
poor people have come into their own
in West Bromwich, a suburb of Bir
mingham, where the t<5wn council
has decided that only people with
incomes of less than $1,500 may rent
any of the houses owned by the
municipality. Complaints have been
made that most of the houses are
rented to people who own motor
cars and, therefore, it is reasoned,
can afford to build their own homes.
The^ Bromwich council has built
4,200 houses of five to eight rooms,
which rent for about $225 a year.
