London Underground River
May Bother Bank Builders
(By Associated Press)
LONDON, Feb. 6— An almost for
gotten stream, the River Walbrook,
flowing thru the City of London,
is giving the builders of the new
Bank of England something to think
about. It is 30 feet or *so below the
surface, and as long ago as 1598, ac
cording to historians, it was vaulted
over with houses above it.
In the days of William the Con
queror it was described as “a brook
of sweet water” but has since devel
oped into something of a sewer. Its
course is through the Wall of London
to Moorgate eastward then in the
direction of the Mansion House, and
it is believed that when the excava
tions are made for the new Bank of
England, engineers will have some
trouble.
Although so far underground, the
stream is still tidal. The high tide in
the Thames presses water up along
the beds of shingle as far up as
Cheapside if not actually under the
Bank itself.
Protection Experiment
Helps Irish Industries
(By Associated Press)
DUBLIN, Feb. 5.—Protection for
Irish home industries, introduced in
the last budget by the Free State
finance minister avowedly as an ex
periment to see whether it worked
land whether it warranted a perma
j nent place in the government’s pol
icy, is said to have proved success
ful.
The Federation of Irish Industries
has reported that the tax on shoes
I has stimulated the shoe trade and
largely increased the output of the
I factories. The confectionery trade
and the bottle making trade art said
to have been similarly helped
In the tobacco trade the duty im
| posed for revenue purposes has op
erated as a tariff and has resulted
[in Pie establishment in the Free
I State of English firms anxious to re
tain iheir Irish trade by coming witil
ling the tax barrier. They have spent
; $1,500,000 on buildings, and the fac
tories have given employment to
! 1,000 hands.
Mrs. Ferguson of Texas and Mrs.

their correct title of governor, not
“governess.” And the same principle
applies to women postmasters. They
should never he called a “postmis

New Hunch for Hidden field
Draws Swede Across Sea
TONOPAH, Nev., Fob. 5.—Pc to O
lunri, known as “that lucky Swede,"
is back in Tonopah again after a
long visit to his native Sweden.
Some years ago Pete worked as a
leaser in the Halifax mine here. Ho
had labored hard and found nothing.
But he had a hunch that there wa
high-grade ore in the Halifax. He
stuck to his hunch, and refused to
abandoned the lease after his partner
had declined to share the cost of one
more round of shots. He pawned his
watch for the price of a lew more
sticks of powder. Two days later
he opened up rich ore on the thousand
foot level.
It was a veritable jewelry shop. Tin
lease had but thirty days to run, and
so Pete staved on the job night and
day. He dug out $28,000 which seem
I ed to him “a tidy sum." He then
retired quietly to his homeland for a
prolonged rest.
Recently word reached him that
some of his old pals had made a new
gold strike in the Cow Springs range,
thirty miles from Tonopah. This
gave him another hunch, and he is
back on the Nevada desert testing
'the power of his luck to repeat.
Army authorities will conduct tests
of a new and powerful steam engine
for airplanes, using crude oil as fuel,
which may revolutionize flying. The
engines need no batteries, ignition de
vices or spark plugs.
