BOTHERED BY GOLD
GOSSIP STAR TAKES
TO ISAAK WALTON
LBy Associated Press)
LONDON, Apr. 21.—Miss Joyce
Wethered, whom the British consider
the best woman golfer the world has
ever known, likes to go fishing 3o
much that she is cutting down on her
golf. Not so long ago she decided not
to enter any tournaments at all this
year, except the British open cham
pionship for women . But she reserv
ed the privilege of changing her mind,
and now says she may take on a tour
nament or two before the British wo
men golfers go to Troon in May to
withstand another of those invasions
from the fairways of America.
When it was first learned that Miss
Wethered intended to keep away from
the constant round of feminine tour
naments this season, gossips spread
the word about that she was tired of
the carryings-on of enthusiasts every
time she met, or seemed ilkely to
meet. Miss Cecil Leitcli. whom she de
1 throned as queen of Britain’s golfing
pastures.
From the eager eyes and chattering
voices of the feminine gallery at each
of their encounters in the past, an
alien observer could easily assume
that the populace looked upon the bat
tle as one reeking with personal feel
ings, as much a fight as a game.
This gossip reached the ears of the
champion, whereupon she let it be
known that she and Miss Leitch wrere
good friends, and declared she had
other interests than golf, among them
tennis, to occupy her time. Most of
all, she said, she wanted more time
for fishing.
2 DEAD GERMANS
PUZZLE CUSTOMS
MEN OF MANILA
(By Associated Press)
MANILA, Apr. 21.—Customs and
health officials are puzzled over what
disposition sliould be made of the cof
fins containing the bodies of two Ger
man subjects who died here during the
World War. The bodies, as >vell as
other German property confiscated
during the war, have been in the cus
toms warehouse for nearly nine years,
but cannot be moved in view of a
court decision several years ago to the
effect that no German property can be
sold or in any manner disposed of by
the insular government.
LOANSHARKSOF
GT’ BRITAIN FACE
A NEW CONTROL
LONDON, Apr 20.—Moneylenders,
who have heretofore charged interest
ranging from 5 up to several hundred
per cent, are in for a considerable re
duction in their gain if a bill introduc
ed into the House of Lords by Lord
Carson becomes law.
This proposes that the rate of inter
est charged shall not exceed 15 per
cent unless the lender proves a high
er charge is not excessive*, and that
the transaction was in all circumstan
ces beneficial to the borrower. On
loans not exceeding $100, interest is
not to be more than 10 per cent per
annum. All loan documents must spe
cify the amount actually advanced
and the interest charged.
HINDENBURG BREAKS SILENCE
BUT HAS LITTLE TO SAY
LONDON, April 21.—General von
Hindenburg broke his long silence to
day when he talked to a Reuter cor
respondent at Hanover, but refused
to say whether he would rather see
Wilhelm again kaiser rather than him
self president.
By a decision :.C Lie Supreme court
on a case origiatting in Maryland,
the books and aejoucs of private
corporations can not be demanded
by investigating committees of Con
gress unless the firm i:i question is
charged with violations of the Fed

Huge Supplies of
Whiskey now Under
Guard in Kentucky
(By Associated Press')
WASHINGTON, D. C\. April 21 —
There are 20,000,000 gallons of pre
proliibition whiskey now in storage in
the United States, under government
supervision, and its owners, mostly
wholesalers caught with the stock on
their hands when national enforce
ment became effective, can not dispose
of it except as the government may di
rect.
Prohibition Commissioner Haynes
believes the government should pur
chase this whiskey, most of which is
guarded in 28 concentration warehous
es located largely in Kentucky. Legal
ly, he points out, there has been no
whiskey manufactured in this country
since January 1, 1922, and the stock
now on hand, being gradually expend
ed for medicinal purposes, Mr. Haynes
estimates, will be sufficient only for
another seven years.
About 1928, four years before the
present whiskey stock is exhausted, it
is expected that the government will
authorize the manufacture of whiskey
so that four-year-old spirits may be
available as medicine at the time the
pre-prohibition supply has become ex
hausted. Consumption by prescrip
tion is now about 1,750,000 gallons an
nually, Mr. Haynes says, compared to
some 30,000,000 gallons of whiskey be
fore prohibition.
There is no legal demand for rum,
officials of the prohibition unit de
clare, and the 3,000 barrels of this
product now on hand will likely be ex
ported
Commissioner Haynes says the
amount of pre-Volstead liquor now in
the hands of the people is “indefinite
ly small.”
Fish Reveal Ages
by Circles on Scales
(By Associated Press)
SEATTLE, April 21.—Salmon and
trout like rattlesnakes, have a way of
telling their age, according to John N.
Cobb, director of the college of fish
eries of the University of Washington.
“Every year adds a series of half
circles to the scales of trout and sal
mon,” said Dean Cobb. “Each series
is distinguished from the preceding
one by a line. The lines are similar
to those on a cross section of a tree,
and the method of telling the age of
a fish is like that used by woodsmen
to ascertain ages of trees.
“Salmon reveal the amount of food i
consumed each season. When sal
mon have a good year with plenty to
eat the lines are wider than in lean
years.”
Experiments are being conducted j
by Dean Cobb in telling the age of
other species of fish.
Dr. Hensley Henson, bishop of (
Durham,. England, declared in a ser-j
mon that modern faith healing is su-1
perstition.
