Youth in Washington Ex-

LOCKED UP IN JAIL
Police Have No Evidence
That He Is Connected
With Legation.
Washington. April 3.—Arrested on
a charge of illegal possession nnd sale
of liquor after claiming diplomatic
immunity from arrest and attempt-
ing unsuccessfully to get in touch
with officials at the Cuban legation in
an effort to obtain his release. Maris
Fragrals aged 23. spent last night in
a police cell.
Fragals who told the police he came
to Washington recently from Cuba
was arrested last night after he is
alleged to have sold half a case of
rum to a police woman.
Placed in Cell.
A search of Fragals' rooms in a
fashionable Sixteenth street apart-
ment house was said bj the police to
have yielded another halfi case. Frag-
rals waa placed in a cell when he was
unable to furnish $l5OO bond.
Excitedly declaring when taken to
police headquarters according to the
police that he could not be placed
under arrest because he was “con-
nected with the legation” Fragrals
is said to have made an “unsuccess-
ful attempt” there to reach the Cuban
legation by telephone.

TUESDAY.
Science Defeats Hours
Decreed by Wallace
Washington. April 3. — Dirt far
mer methods may tic effective in som
parts of the Department of Agricu!
turc—
But Science has triumphed over the
Time Clock.
Secretary Wallace has modified Ids
order to make all employes of the de-
partment punch the time clock. The
scientists have won exemption.
Announcement of the clock method
didn’t get an enthusiastic shout from
the internationally prominent meu
whose scientific work has saved mil-
lions to farmers every year and re-
duced life loss all over the world. They
declared a regimen of getting to work
at V taking liaif an hour off for lunch
and working again until 4:30 impair-
ed their work.
The scientists argued that they
had become accustomed to their own
methods of research and study. They
cited that much of their most valuable
work was done late at night. And
furthermore they let it be known that
the scientific mind depends upon the
mood not the number of working
hours for its effectiveness.
Wallace Strict.
Wallace declined to give in at first.
He insisted all bureau chiefs should
be at their desks promptly at 0. as
he always is. But he is now miti-
gating the severity of the ruling for
the scientific men.
Which means that the following ex-
perts are happily working according
to their usual schedules:
Dr. Leland O. Howard entomolo-
gist honorary member of many for-
eign scientific societies president. As-
sociation of Economic Entomolngit<.
etc. He has saved farmers millions
by discoveries of crop-ravaging in-
sects. and has contributed to health
conditions by fighting house flics and
mosquitoes.
Dr. Marian Dorset who discovered
serum and treatment for hog cholera.
Dr. Maurice C. Hall who found
a cure for bookworm.
J. F. Rock plant explorer first
white man to see the Chaulmoogr-i
tree wheu he risked his life pene-
trating the jungles of Siam and Bur-
ma. Its oil is the only known .cure
for leprosy.
Many on List.
Prof. C. F. Marvin weather bureau
chief whose inventions have given the
bureau accuracy greater than that of
any other country.
A. D. Shamel. who showed fruit
growers how bud selection greatly in-
creases the fruit crop.
to have urged him to “hurry over
to the legation and tell them what had
happened.
His conversation was translated by
a naval intelligence officer standing
nearby who accompanied the police
on the raid on his apartment.
The police say they have no evi-
dence that Fragrals was connected
with the Cuban legation and efforts
to ascertain whether any officials
there knew him were unsuccessful.
Actress Wants Her Name Cleared.
X’ew York. April 3.—Attorneys for
Stella Adler. Stella Larrimore on the
stage a co-respondent in Geraldine
Farrar’s suit for divorce from Lou
Tellegen yesterday petitioned the
Supreme Court for trial •by jury in
order that she might refute the testi-
mony recently introduced by thb prima
donna. Miss Adler wanted to clear
her name her counsel told Justice
O’Malley. Decision was reserved.
Clay—is the final result of 20 years
of scientific study. Experts analyzed
and compared many kinds of clay un-
til they found one. mineral-laden
which brings the maximum results.
They found ways to refine it to re-
move the useless mud. Thus they pro-
duced a white dean dainty day a
delightful thing to use.
Then they found factors to be added
to bring multiplied results. In 20
years they thus produced the clay I
use today.
For All Women Now
1 have now arranged so all may get
this day. My White Y'outh Clay will
amaze you. whatever clay you've used.
No other day I have ever seen can in
any way compare.
It brings a new complexion with a
rosy youthful bloom. Many women
in 30 minutes seem to drop ton years.
Pimples and blackhead go. blemishes
and wrinkles disappear. Young girls
gain new freshness. Older skins regain
their softness smoothness clearness
bloom.
All drug stores and toilet counter-
now sell Edna Wallace Hopper's

tube. Alao my Youth Cream which
should follow the day. APo iny
Facial Youth—my liquid cleanser.
Also my Hair Youth which brought
my luxuriant hair. My beauty Book

I urge you to try my White Youth
Clay in fairness to yourself.
Two of the scientists who balked
at the "Time Clock" order. Dr. Mar-
ion Dorset. Ilog cholera serum dis-
coverer and Dr. J. F. Rock who
brought out Chaulmoogra oil.
Department officials said it would
be impossible to estimate the value of
the services of these and many other
department workers who arc receiving
salaris lower than under-scientists in
commercial concerns.
"These men have done more than
enough to make up for missing the
time dock every day in the year as
long as they live.” one official said.
TAYLOR KU KLUXERS
SAY WHIPPING WAS
NOT A KLAN AFFAIR
Salesman Said He Had
Been Warned—Chain
Sawed Off Neck.
Taylor. Tex.. April 3.—None of
the unmasked mi n who Sunday night
severely beat I. W. Burleson traveling
saleman near Jonah after having

riding with n married couple and a
young woman were recognize I by per-
sons who saw them in Taylor as
they brought Burleson to the city
hall Inwn and tied him to a telephone
post after the beating officers said
late yesterday. There have been no
arrests in the case. The unmasked
attackers are believed to have been
from some nearby community hut
this has not been confirmed.
A heavy chain which wni 1 xkod
about Burleson's neck by his assail-
ants. was sawed off Monday. His hair
was cut off in order tn remove a mix-
ture of grease and creosote which was
;mured ovet his Lead and fnce during
the attack on him Sunday night.
Burleson said that several gashes
on his head were made by his cap-
tors when they struck him witli pis-
tols.
Burleson is in the hospital here
where he is recovering from effects
of the beating and mutilation of his
shoulders and head. Burleson de-
.clearcd he know no reason for the
attack.
He stated ho received two warnings
recently presumably from the Ku
Klux Klan directing him to lonvc the
community.
Representatives of the Ku Klux
Klan here strongly d. ided any con-
nection with the whipping.
According to Burleson the poll -c
said he had boon notified tlint an at-
tack was to be made on him by a
Baptist preacher who handed him n
card hearing ho nnme of "Ku Klux
Klnn Number 17G of Georgetown.” and
that he was told he must quit going
with a certain woman. He had scoffed
at the notice he told the police.

spectful distance in the heavens from
the earth there is no danger of this
plnnet and its peoples suffering the
fate of Beta Ceti the star that has
occupied the attention of astronomers
for the past two months. But if Alpha
Centauri the earth's nearest neighbor

playful mood and gallop through space

disport in this planet's hack yard
there wouldn't be anybody hums when

THE SAN ANTONIO LIGHT.
Aretyer. 8. J. astronomical observer
nt Georgetown University is about the
fix that Beta Ceti and its peoples if
it were inhabited are in. If this
sphere got in the same fix. the inci-
dent would draw big headlines in
newspapers of other planets; the Mars
Mesenger would interview the Mars
tian astronomers ami announce that
another planet bad flared up in the
sky.
Result of a Collision.
Beta Ceti the astronomer explain-
ed today is burning up because it
cither collided with or approached too
closely to another star. Father Archer
bolds the theory that while the end of
this world might come about in a
similar way thus fulfilling the Bibli-
cal prophesy of destruction by fire
r.ud brimstone it is not at all prob-
able.
He agrees with Camille Flammarion
noted French astronomer thnt if some
meteoric body or dying sun either
struck the earth or approached near
enough "there would occur a vast in-
ternnl upheaval which though minute
nnd lost in the vault of the Heavens
would destroy all ••getnble nnd ani-
mal matter on the earth. Humanity
could not exist under the nppnlling
stress of asphyxiating gases and the
colossal heat.
To scientists. Father Archer ex-
plnined. the earth is like an orange
with a piece of tissue paper around
it. The tissue paper represents the
crust of the earth —the part that has
cooled off sufficiently for people to
live on it and to plant crops. The
orange would be the white hot mass
inside the earth with its burning pois-
onous gases.
Even now. these gases cause the
earth to swell and deflate from six-
teen to twenty inches without outside
attraction. If a star such as Alpha
Centauri approached the earth even
ns closely as the sun. which is 03.000.-
000 miles awny. the heat would be-
come so intense that humnn life would
be imiKissible. Tile tidal attraction
between the two stars. Father Archer
said would be so great that the crust
of the earth would be broken and the
gases released.
Possible But Not Probable.
“Such a calamity” he added “is
entnirejy possible. It is however mere-
ly problematical one of those things
we speculate upon. As a practical
proposition it is not probable that
one of the celestial bodies would come
close enough to cause an explosion of
the earth.”
Figures that convey the amount
of the national debt appear as insig-
nificant trifles alongside the distance
between the earth and Alpha Centauri.
The star is 127000.000.000.000 miles
away from the earth the astronomer
explained. The relative distance be-
tween the two reducing their size for
illustration would be represented by a
football held in the hand of a man in
Washington and another football held
in the hands of a man in Australia.
8000 miles away. Father Archer snid.
“And the probability of a collision
between the two is about as grent as
those footballs coming together” he
added smilingly.
Planets are not promiscuous in
their conduct as the stars; they move
in well defined orbits with a degree
of regularity that has been calcul-
ated. Planets besides are stars that
have cooled off and are not so dan-
gerous as the dying suns. Venus and
Mars two of the better known planets
arc only 30.00(1.000 miles away from
the earth on their closest swings to-
wards us.
In the 2000 years of astronomical
observations scientists have been able
to record only 30 instances of an in-
cendiary body as Beta Ceti. Hope is
also held out in the ratio for while
thirty stars have burned there arc
30000000 in the Heaven. Sixteen of
the conflagrations have been of major
importance fourteen of minor bril-
liance. Each however has possibly
marked tUe "agony and end of wo;ld|
the birth of new ones.”
