NEW YORK. Oct 5. Construc

appeal to S2.000 negro members
of the American T. M. C. A. by Max
Tergen, an American negro, who
pioneered in organizing - associa

INVENTION OF BLACK
OPAQUE GLASS. IS
CLAIM OF JAPANESE
TOKYO. Oct. I. After several
years' investigation, Jusel Bugiy.
a scientist of the Industrial Exper
imental Station of Osaka, is report
ed to have Invented a black glass
of a special kind which is expected
to prove of great military value.
It Is said theOilack glass Is opaque
to all but ultra-violet rays and, by
its nse, battle formations or the
movements of an enemy can be
easily photographed in darkness
without detection. Moving pic
tures, It is claimed, can also be
taken In the dark by the use of the
black glass.
Experiments with the new glass
made recently In the presence of
Rear Admiral Muto are said to
have proved a complete success.
The inventor declares the black
glass will not only be Important for
military purposes, but that it will
be found valuable In medical treat

OTTAWA, Ont., Oct. 8 Tottr
Uti from the United States have
brought $160,000,000 In revenue
to Canada In 1925, according to
estimates of government officials.
This sum Is equal to a quarter of
the value of the Dominion's wheat
crop and approximates the values
of the annual mining output of
Ontario, Quebec and British Co
lumbia combined.

WASHINOTON. Oct. 5. The
destruction of tho Shenandoah
will point the way immediately to
several important changes In dir
igible construction. In tho opin
ion of Ralph H. Upson, former
international balloon champion
and now chief engineer of tho
Aircraft Development Corpora
tion told government officials
they were nrenared to build a
dirigible 0r s new typo. Mr. Up
son outlined three lessons which
he said should bo learned from
the story of tho Shenandoah. The
next dirigible, he said, should
bo covered with thin light metal
lnatead of fabric, should have
much greater diameter oomparad
to Its length, and should have Its
control car fastened more securely
to the frame.
"The Shenandoah's loss of life
waa not largo relative to the to
tal number on board, and too
fatalities would have been almost
eliminated bad the control oar
been more rigidly attached to tho
hull, said Upson.
"The fact that the airship
broke in two la an equally direct
result of lis excessive slenderness.
It used to be thought that a long
pencil shape was necessary for
speed, but recent studies and ex
periments show conclusively that
air resistance can be reduced
with more compact shapes. The
most Improved hull shape has
only one-third the Shenandoah's
length, compared to it diameter.
Experiments also show that it la
possible to make an airship com
pletely stxtble.
"Improvements In stability alone
would greatly reduce the require
ments for safety-valve capacity,
although there hi no good reason
for not having plenty of safety
valves. Another Important re
quirement is to allow plenty of
pressure rang from valvo opera
tion. Tho Shenandoah could
staad safely pressure of only
10 millimeters of water or about
ons-ons-thousandth of an atmos
phere. Air ships can now bo built
to stand many times that pres
sure. "Perhaps the greatest disad
vantage of the Sbenandoah was
Its fabric cover easily torn, ia-
flamable. loose and flapping when
dry. straining the framework
wben wet. soaking up thousands
of nound of water, and soon
worn out. Before long, this 'kite
construction', will be a thing or
the oast, replaced by metal ciaa
airships, with rigid metal cover-
in
. "Tho faults of the Shenandoah
are no discredit to the men who
designed and ibullt her. They
took the best that was available
at the time."

Bull, like Uncle Sam, Is meeting
with difficulties In trying to regu

It Is not so much drink over b're

Home Office worry.
There Is a law that compels to
bacco shops to close every even

etc., and release a certain amount
of labor for employment more es
sential to the winning of the war
than selling cigarettes and cigars.
The law la still In force and there
are no Indications that It will be
rerxus'ed.
But It la being evaded. Many to
bacco shops, upon closing tlielr
doors at night, leave outside a slot
machine which deliver cigarettes
to anyone who puta In sixpence

between a Utile boy's coin ami one

WILL RESTORE LOO CABIN
BIRTHPLACE OF BUCHANAN
CHAMBER8BURO, Pa.. OcL S
The weather worn old log cabin In
which James Buchanan, fifteenth
president of tho United States, waa
born on April 83, 1781, Is to ho re
stored and preserved as a memor
ial to Pennsylvania's only presi
dent. Built originally by the presi
dent's father In the mountains of
southern Pennsylvania, tho cabin
was moved nearly a centnry ago to
Mercerakurg, where It bss since
stood, used much of the time as a
tenant hnnse. Now It Is being torn
down and moved again; this time
to Chamberatmrg, where It will b
rebuilt on a lot near the center ot
tho town. -
The elder Buchanan was an
Irishman who came to America
soon after the Revolution, and set
out to make a living as a trader
among the Indians and frontiers
men. Choosing a lonely spot in the
hills north of the Maryland border
he built two log cabins, ona for' a
home and the other a store. In '
time his place bersaie known to
the traders and trapper as "Stony
Batter." Hero th son "Jamlfr"
was born.
His trading operations Proved so
profitable that Buchanan finally
movea to aiercersiiurg and from
there he sent his Son to school and
later to college. The younger man
became leader In local affair and
represented his district In the Htat
legislature and Irt centres. n
m be wss elected president. He
died In Lancaster In IMS snd
buried there. , ,
In later years th president' sta
ters erected a stone pyramid at the
site of his birthplace. This standa
today, hidden in a grove of pine
trees. Th oak logs of the J
cabin are well preserved. "
