WILL HUNT AFRICAN
GAME IN MOTOR CAR
Night Pictures of Wild Life
Are Sought.
New York.—Sir. and Mrs. Prentiss
Gray of Larchmont and Wilfred W
Brown, ornithologist of the Academy
of Natural Science of Philadelphia,
have left for Africa on an automotive
equipped hunting and photographic ex-
pedition sponsored by the academy to
obtain night photographs of jungle
wild life and specimens of rare African
animals for the habitat collection of
the museum. They will go directly to
Mombasa, East Africa, where the
seven months' campaign in the Jungle
will begin.
Throughout the several thousand
miles of the Journey Mrs. Gray will
drive a three-quarter ton truck,
equipped with a special all steel body,
as n blind for taking night pictures.
The truck Is fully protected on nil
sides, and Its driving compartment is
fitted with nonslmtterable glass.
The car Is so arranged that Mr.
Gruy can stand In it and operate two
eiill cameras and two moving picture
cameras mounted on the roof and
reached through a trap door. It is
equipped with an extra axle for rough
ro:uls and with four rear wheels, all
or Iheni carrying power from the en-
gine. Balloon tires of much greater
thickness than usual will he used, with
tubes covered by the tough skin of
the eland, an African antelope.
Dog to Accompany Them.
Upon arrival at Mombasa the party
will he met by Philip I'erclval, who
hns organized a group of fifty porters,
gun carriers, and native huntsmen.
Perclval, one of the most famous white
guides of Nairobi, who led the George
Eastman and other large expeditions
through the African wilds, has pur-
chased all the food and living equip-
ment for the Gray expedition, and
with Hags, a favorite Airedale of the
Grays, will accompany tlictn through-
out '.he trip,
Among the specimens in which the
museum is particularly interested are
a variety of rare deer from eastern An-
gola and Hhodesla. They Include Su-
lcus' Sltatunga, the Lechwl water
buck, Llclitenstein's hurtebeest, and
the Xakong or Speke's bushbuek. The
little known giant sable, an antelope
noted for Its huge antlers, is the prize
most desired by the explorers.
The overland trip, in which Mrs.
Gray will drive most of the way, will
take them from Mombasa up through
Nairobi, then to southern Tanganyika,
^across Lake Tanganyika to Elizabeth-
vllle and Kivu, in the Belgian Congo,
thence to Angola in Portuguese West
Africa,
Will Retrace Steps.
Returning, the party plans to re-
trace Us steps across the Belgian Con-
go to the head waters of the Nile and
make Its way down that river to Khar-
toum and Cairo, or will embark on a
steamer at Lobettu bay on the coast of
Portuguese West Africa for London
and New York.
During and after the World war Mr.
Gray was assistant director of the
commission for relief of Belgium and
assistant director of marine transpor-
tation of the food administration un-
der Herbert Hoover. Mrs. Gray was
also active in war relief. She received
the medal of Queen Elizabeth from
King Albert of Belgium for her activi-
ties In relieving the suffering of llel-
ginu women and children.
In 1017 Mr. Gray was the last
American to leave Brussels, lie re-
mained for a month after Brand Wliit-
lock, American minister, bad left the
city, to turn over affairs of Belgian re-
lief to the Dutch and Spanish minis-
ters. Mrs, Gray and her daughter,
Barbara, remained with him.
Aerial Paymaster Aids
Morale of U. S. Marines
Washington,—The noriul paymaster
Is the rule in Nlcnragua where United
States marines are scattered through
virtually Inaccessible territory.
The expeditionary forces recently
have completed the payment of more
than $l,r>0O.000 to marines stationed
In outlying districts. In many in-
stances the [iay roll for the local con-
tingent Is dropped from the plane.
This is the only way to make cer-
tain the marines will be paid prompt-
ly. While they do not need much
money in outlying districts, the fact
that It comes regularly helps material-
ly ln maintaining morale and military
efficiency.
Eastern Flyers to Have
Largest Aerial Beacon
Lynn, Mass. — Airmen cruising
through eastern Massachusetts skies
at night will be guided henceforth by
the biggest aerial beacon In the coun-
try. The new 7,000,000 candle-power
revolving aeronautical light Is located
at the plant of the General Electric
company, 89 feet above the ground.
Its ten flashes per minute are visible
for miles.
Many Unique Stamps on
Exhibition at Paris Show
Havre, France.—Sixty-five million
francs worth of postage stamps, many
Df them unique In the world, are being
shown In the world's stamp fair, now
In progress here and fostered by the
French government through the under-
secretary of state for posts. Among
tbe American exhibitors Is Alfred
Llchtensteln, of New York, who Is
showing a collection of stamps worth
>150,000.
GAS SMUGGLING
IS NEW PROBLEM
Nebraska May Have to Guard
Her Borders.
Lincoln, Neb.—For the first time
In history, Nebraska will be faced
shortly with a "custom" problem, a
problem which may make necessary
the guarding or patrolling of two of
her boundary lines, that dividing the
state from Kansas on tbe south and
the Missouri river separating Ne-
braska from Iowa on the east.
The reason Is that the lucrative
practice of smuggling gasoline across
from Kansas and Iowa has begun with
the four cent gasoline tux law, ac-
cording to Dr. T. W. Bass, collector of
the gas tax here.
While the Nebraska gasoline tax
was two cents a gallon, Doctor Bass
said, there was no smuggling trouble,
because the rate was either the same,
or higher in the bordering states.
But when the Nebraska tax went up
to four cents and the tax In Iowa and
Kansas was boosted to only three, It
made possible a smuggler's profit of
a clear cent a gallon for hauling the
petrol across the state lines. In
South Dakota, Wyoming and Colorado,
Doctor Bass said, the tax Is four
cents, so that there is no trouble on
the borders.
"But we have already received sev-
eral reports of smuggling on the Kan-
sas line, and also across the river
from Iowa," Doctor Bass said. "It
seems likely that the problem will
have to be met by putting a man or
men In the Held to patrol the bor-
ders and to Intercept the smugglers.
"There Is u good profit In It for
them. We hear that they are hauling
gasoline In from Kansas, falling to
report the purchase in that state, and
selling It here at four cents a gallon
above the normal retail price. They
pay no tax In Kansas and get the
benefit of the tax here, they cheat
both states and make a handsome
profit."

Finds Home-Made Fluid
for Treating Anemia
Boston.—A liver extract that will
/>e effective ln treating pernicious
anemia can be made at home with
very little effort, Dr. William B. Cas-
tle and Morris A. Bowie of Harvard
University Medical school have re-
ported to the American Medical as-
sociation.
This will prove a great boon to suf-
ferers from this disease who are un-
able to afford the high price of the
commercial liver extracts or of the
more palatable calves' liver. Eating
half a pound of beef liver a day soon
becomes a tiresome ordeal, yet this
lias been the only chance for life and
health for many of the poor who suf-
fer from pernicious anemia.
The domestic extract is as effective
as the commercial ones and may be
made In the ordinary kitchen by any
reasonably intelligent person, the
Harvard scientists declared. Only the
usual domestic utensils ure needed.
The cost of the beef liver Is prac-
tically the only cost. The extract is
palatable and may be drunk hot or
cold, with or without salt. It Is said
to taste something like beef broth. I
The process of making It consists I
In general of grinding the liver, soak-
ing It ln cold water, straining, heat-
ing and restraining. The ordinary
meat grinder, strainer, enamel pots,
glass Jars and Jelly bags found in
most kitchens are the only utensils
required. The success of the proce-
dure depends on the cure and exact-
ness with which tlie directions for
tbe various steps in the process are
followed. Doctor Castle and Mr.
Bowie gave these In detail in their
report.
Desert Area Believed
to Hold Mineral Riches
The Sun Rafael Swell, a wild waste
of buttes, mesas and deep steep-sided
canyons, heretofore considered of llltle
value save as a rather poor grade of
pasture land for a few herds of sheep,
may be about to step forward to claim
its share In the progress of the world.
This section of tbe desert urea of
Utah has been visited by experts of
the Geological survey, and nearly two-
thirds of its area bus been carefully
investigated. There seems to be prom-
ise thut a valuable find of helium,
thut boon to lighter-than-alr craft, has
been made and there are hopes that
deposits of petroleum 'will also be
developed.
The Swell yielded a fair quantity
of radium and uranium during the
World war. The rocks contained ln
the Swell embrace representatives of
all the geological periods from the
Permian to the Upper Cretaceous.
Distance of the Sun
A new method of determining tbe
distance of tbe sun suggested at tbe
Dominion observatory, Ottawa, de-
pends on three accurately known
measurements; the velocity of flight,
the wave lengths of spectrum lines,
and the shape of the earth's orbit
Daily observations of the spectrum of
the sun's center with a constant com-
parison spectrum have been made for
years and preliminary measurements
Indicate promising results.

Barber Bars Women;
Hamper Men's Trade
Columbus, Ohio,—J. S. Van
Heyde, a barber here for the
last half century, refuses to al-
low women to enter his shop
He says women are prone to
procrastinate making up their
tnlnds what they want and how
they want It done, and that men
haven't time to wait. But Van
Heyde continued: "Then, too,
men want to tell a story or two,
smoke a cigar or cigarette, and
engage In conversation they
wouldn't be able to if women
were In the shop."
