Many of them will never be found, 'Since the first of this year only 12 bodies have been recovered by workers of the Graves Registra. tion Service overseas.

"I consider this the most sig- nificant conference on prohibition ever held," said Alf Oftedal, assist. ant Commissioner of Prohibition in charge of Enforcement and Per- sonnel, "The Pacific zone is the onl section in which the co-ordination plan has been tried and results are encouraging, If we can prove the worth of the plan out here, it prob- ably will be applied to other parts of the United States." Fixing of responsibility and tightening up of guards and ne spection of border points and along the coast were understood to be objectives of the executive forum.

A vision of how this might be accomplished and Britain supply most of her own oil requirements is described by Sir Hugo Hirst, elec- trical expert, who points out that it British chemists succeeded in producing benzole on an industrial scale, Britain would be freed from paying out $200,000,000 every year for imported oil, while simul- taneously cheap power would be provided for the whole country. WORK FEVER- ISHLY TO RESTORE COAL TRADE By such means the British coal industry would again be placed on its feet. Meanwhile the desperate condi- tion of the coal trade is revealed by figures for the last quarter of 1927 which show that, taking the industry as a whole, there was an average loss of 36 centa per ton, In view of this the Cabinet is considering a scheme for reducing the railway docking charges on coal, while innmediately pending is the operation of a rating - relief scheme contained in the budget. It is expected that a reduction of eight cents a ton on the car- riage of coal by the railways would help Britain recapture some of her lost markets. IN WEST CANADA Crop Prospects Are Good, Say the Latest Reports Winnipeg, May 16.--The en- couraging crop prospects in West- ern Canada this season, which WANTED TO BE RIGHT, (New York Evening World) They tell a funny story in the hotel zone about a mew bellboy in a side street hotel who wanted to he right when asked the first ques- tion by a prospective guest. A 'man approached him the first day with this question: "Have you a live lobster here?" "Just a moment, sir," responded the new boy hurrying to the manag- er's office, When the manager looked up the boy exclaimed: have been emphasized in all ad- vices received to date, are borne out hy the first report on seeding progress, issued today by the Bank of Commerce: The report follows: | "Manitoba--Excellent progress | has been made with seediny | throughout the entire Province. | Wheat seeding is practically com- | pleted, and where an early start was made, the wheat is well above | the ground and showing an even | growth.

There is ample moisture in the subsoil, but the surface soil generally is dry, and rains would be beneficial to the seeded areas." BEAM WIRELESS MARVEL IN SPEED Montreal, May 16.--What beam wireless has done for long-distance communication was explained by J. H, Thompson, chief engineer of the Marconi Wireless Telegraph Company, to the members of the Montreal branch of the Engineer- ing Institute of Canada recently. Using slides the speaker produced a graphic picture showing a tele- graph operator at Drummondyille using an instrument resembling an ordinary typewrit-r and sending messages at the rate of 150 words to the minute, to be received al- most instantly by an' operator at Dorchester, England. Mr. Thompson illustrated the process made in wireless trans- mission by showing the crude in- struments used in the early days of wireless, the progress having been so rapid that eqliipment of stations used 15 years ago is of no use to- day, The beam system itself, he said, was the result of experiments by which all the energy available at the sending station was suc- cessfully sent in one direction thus establishing 2 beam Of energy.
