Huge Government Arsenal
Lies Idle and Unprotective
ROCK ISLAND, Feb. 17.—Four hun
dred million dollars’ worth of proper
ly lies in comparative disuse at the
Rock Island Arsenal here.
Largest of the government arsenals
in the United States, Rock Island
during the world war employed thir
teen thousand workmen and gained
the reputation of the largest arsenal
in the world, the Krupp factory in
Germany having dismantled.
Col. D. M. King, commandant, said
he had no information of any plan to
increase activity at the arsenal, al
though during the presidential cam
paign it was suggested by candidates
that congressional action be taken
which would permit the carrying on
of productive work on the basis which
existed prior to the war.
“Vast quantities of ordinance stores
produced by all government arsenals
and by private industries throughout
the east as a result of war activities,”
Col. King said, “resulted in a large
surplus of such material on hand, a
quantity sufficient for the needs of
the army at its reduced strength for
some time. Very little productive
work is now being done. Operations
are confined principally to work of
an experimental nature in connection
with the design of artillery material
and repair of equipment turned in
from the field. At present there are
slightly less than 600 employes. The
percentage of capacity at which Ihe
arsenal facilities are now being util
ized may be stated as approximately
5 to 10 percent.
“The arsenal as it stands today rep
resents a valuation, at a very con
servative figure, including stores on
hand for issue and for manufacturing
purposes, of nearly $400,000,000. Ap
proximately $50,000,000 of this figure
is represented in the value of its
building and equipment.”
Monument Honors Memory
of First California Padre
SAN FERNANDO, Cal., Feb. 17.—
Another chapter of the story inscrib
ed in the crumbling remains of a
|chain of 21 missions, the earliest of
| which were founded more than a cen
j tury and a half ago in California, will
be written soon with the unveiling
at the San Fernando Mission of a
monument to Father Junipero Serra,
Spanish missionary, who established
the edifice. The statue, depicting the
mission Father leading a shy Indian
boy into the realm of Christianity, is
of bronze and is seven feet six inch
es tall. It is the wTork of Mrs. Sal
ly James Farnham, Newr York sculp
tress.
Father Junipero was born on the
island of Majorca, off the coast of
Spain. From there he sailed for
Mexico, thence to California. The
missions, erected a day’s journey
apart, extend from the Mission San
Diego de Alcala to one at Sonoma,
north of San Francisco. Over the
long highway connecting the missions
now known as El Camio Real, (the
royal highway) padres wound their
way to teach the Indians.
San Fernando was one of the mis
sions. It was christened by Father
Junipero in 1797.
Migration Made Easy
for Retiring Officers
LONDON, Feb. 17.—To facilitate
cooperation in emigration among re
tired professional classes with small
fixed incomes, the Empire Commun
ity Settlement has been organized
here to care for retired military offi
cers, civil servants, engineers and
other professional men unfitted to go
to the dominion as agricultural set
tlers in the ordinary way.
It is proposed to establish them
overseas on model farms, something
like garden cities, with two to five
acres, dwelling, stable and outhouse
sites, and club houses where weals
may be obtained at a low rate. After
five years of this life the settlers
would be expected to find a perma
nent place in the dominion.
Charging that all the work her hus
band does is gathering up washing for
her to do, Mrs. George Little of Los
Angeles is suing for divorce.
Oliver McCready, trusty prisoner at
Philipsburg, N. J., walked away and
after indulging in a spree hired a
taxi to take him back to jail.

Mrs. Giles Whiting, of New York,

Girl Scouts of America. A member

Medieval Statues Value
Realized After 600 Years
LINCOLN, Feb. 17.—For long re
| garded as of very little value, the
statue of Queen Margaret on the side
lor the south porch of the cathedral
! here, has now been acclaimed by an
authority on architect as “possibly
the finest and most perfect example
|cf medieval portrait sculpture left in
■ Europe.”
Search is now being made for the
| name oi the sculptor. After 600
(years cf exposure only the hands and
! the lower part of the draperies are
(appreciably damaged. A suggestion
that the statue should be removed
from its present exposed position and
placed in a specially prepared niche
at the back of the altar screen in the
Angel Choir, has not been favorably
leeeived by the dean and chapter, but
it has been enclosed in a wooden case
to prevent further damage.
