Health and Sanitary Budgets Discussed Discussions of the departmental budgets of the city, which have not yet been formally approved, were resumed today when heads of the health and sanitary departments met with the city commissioners in the office of Mayor Perry Wall. Dr. E.

C. Levy, health officer, and Fred McKay, sanitary chief, were present, and there was a general discussion of the requisitions made by them. No final decision was reached. Even though one airship cost $4,000,000, Moore said the government would profit by constructing more of them than cruisers. He cited figures of the World war to show that one airship was worth more than six fast' scouting cruisers each of which cost the government Dr.

Moore said that a few ships would have to be lost before a suitable type could be developed. But Insisted that if the government would construct 10 airships at intervals of one year even though at an approximate cost of $4,000,000 each, the results obtained would undoubtedly make airship transportation, one of the most Important methods Of the present day. "Vermont eesqui-centennial stamp and the Burgoyne campaign stamp, which will be placed on sale August 3 at a new postoffice in "Vermont and New York, and at the agency here. Orders have been given for the printing uf 20,000,000 Vermont stamps and 25,000,000 Burgoyne stamps. The Lindbergh air mail stamp brought many orders.

There were in the first run and more probably will be printed. Of the White Plains battle stamps, issued last October, were printed. The sesqui-centennial stamp, commemorating the 150th anniversary of the independence of the United States, and issued July 27, 1926, was not popular with regular stamp users and the postoffice department has had difficulty in getting rid of a large surplus of the 307,731,000 printed. The ultra-modern feature of a flying1 field roof Is pictured as a level concourse without obstructions, except for asllghtly rising incline at one end for take-offs. Whether aviation within a few years will have reached the point where a large space on the roof of a building in heart of a city can be utilized for landing and taking off by airplanes with safety remains to be seen.

The new building may not be finished for six or seven years, but postal officials make the prediction that by the time is it erected the flying field feature will be practical. ful 000 In the the or on to' Organizations Seek Aid in Settling Controversy. If the DeSoto chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, and the Hillsborough County Federation of Women's clubs can't agree the control of the proposed new club house of the women's organizations, it isn't the purpose of the city commission to In terfere. This was the decision given a delegation from the D. A.

R. chapter yesterday afternoon when a committee of 12 women, headd by Mrs. D. B. Givens, the -egent, appealed to the city commission to intervene because the federation, they charged, had "put one over." Mrs.

Givens explained it was no personal matter but t. matter involving principle only. The controversy among the women's organizations ad its in ception in the termination of the lease to The Tampa Bay casino and succeeding negotiations involving the Gordon Keller hospital. According to the D. A.

R. chap ter, they held a one-fourth interest in the old Casino lease which has subsequently been given the U. S. S. Tampa post.

American Le gion. When the women organizations, including the 22 member clubs of the federation, the D. A. the U. D.

C. and Friday Morn ing Musicale, were forced to nciye up the Casino, they appealed to the city to rovide suitable quarters. Later, Mayor Perry G. Wall of fered a resolution to give them the Gordon Keller hospital as soon as the new municipal hospital is completed. This was done and since the South Florida fair also wanted the hospital property to take care of expansion, negotia tions were opened with the fair of ficials and a settlement was reached.

Fair fays Federation. The fair association agreed to pay the federation $10,000 cash for their claim to the hospital and this was accepted. Mrs. Amos H. 'orris, president of the federation, rep resented that body in dealing with the fair association.

But, Mrs. Givens told the com missioners, the Daughters of the American Revolution were left out of the agreement since they can not, under their charter, affiliate with the federation. This is also true of the U. D. C.

Mrs. Givens also charged that the federation has refused them representation on the board of control or executive committee and are using or proposing to use D. A. R. property principally furniture and funds pooled with the federation as a result of the one-fourth ownership in the old lease.

-A letter from Mrs. Norris was read in which she stated the position of the federation. She did not agree with the D. A. R.

that they are being deprived of a home and stated they could use the new club house which is to be built jointly by the federation and the Friday Morning Musicale through a corporation recently formed known as the Music-Federated Clubs "But we will have to rent, from them and pay for the use of the building; Mrs. Givens countered. "We could rent the casino from the American legion or we might be able to get the Woman's club building." Not City's Business. After considerable discussion, Commissioner James McCants suggested that the commission was being called upon to enter a discussion in which the members had no business interfering. "I don't see why the commission Is called upon to interefere.

We have nothing to do with the internal problems of the women's organizations," he declared, "this matter has passed out of our hands entirely." "And I agree with Major Cants," Commissioner W. J. Bar-ritt added, "we cannot render any verdict." Commissioner S. L. Lowry disagreed with Commissioners McCants and Barritt and said he did not believe the matter had passed out oi me hands of the commis sioners since it was his understand ing that all of the women's or ganizations, including the patriotic organizations, had been taken care of, in the arrangement made.

mayor wall laughingly added the suggestion that since the women can't agree what to do with the $10,000 that the money should be taken away from them. Specifically, however, the delega tion finally told the commission that all they desired was representation on the board of control of the new club house and protection of their property interests in the money paid for the rights to the hospital property. Mrs. Givens asserted that the De Soto chapter can go into court and get their rights, and she inferred that similar action could bring the commissioners to "taw." The commissioners, however, stood by Commissioner McCants, who moved that it was the sense that body that they have noth ing to do with the internal prob lems of the women's clubs of Tampa. It was stated today by a repre sentative of the federation that all the women's clubs directly con cerned with the building of a new club house had accepted the arrangement completed by the county federation and the musicale, except DeSoto chapter, D.

which made Its plea before the commis sioners yesterday. MAN HELD HERE FOR AUTO THEFT Erickson Faces Charge of Stealing Atlanta Car. Fred Erickson, alias Anderson, alias T. Euford, was held today by city police for the department justice on, a charge of having transported a stolen automobile from Atlanta, to Tampa. Erickson was arrested several days ago by a policeman on a charge of drunkenness and disorderly conduct.

Science Teacher Visualizes Air Liners Carrying 1 00 Tons New Crop Pest By International Sews Service Ames, Iowa, July While the European corn borer jhas not been officially reported in Iowa, the of ficials of Iowa state college here have a similar crop pest to com bat this season in the common stalk borer, which is proving unusually destructive to growing corn. Not satisfied with their usual weed diet, the stalk borers' are attacking corn all over the state in large numbers this year, accord ing to the state entomologist's section of the Iowa department of agriculture, located here. Stalk borers usually feed on ragweed and several other kinds of weeds in pastures and along the fence rows, moving into 'the borders of corn fields when the weeds become tough.

This year the weeds have become unpalatable earlier than usual, saVs Carl Drake, state entomologist, and the caterpillars show a decided prefer ence for tender corn stalks. "There has been a constant in crease in these larvae for the last 10 years, with a rapid increase the last four years, Drake explained. "Perhaps we are getting more re ports of it because everyone Is looking for the European corn bor er, but the fact remains that the stalk borer is attacking the corn in greater numbers than ever before and it, too, must be intelligently combatted." that the pilots are never caught. Able to outrun the United States customs boat from 20 to 30 miles an hour, they seldom fall into real danger; but when they do, they abandon their craft with Its cargo on the Canadian side of the international line, about midstream, and pull into the Ontario shore in a rowboat. Once out of the liquor boat, they are immune from arrest, although they have lost the cargo and craft.

Guns Are Obsolete. Machine guns, rifles and pistols. which were the implements of the border rum runners in the early days of the venture, are today as obsolete as the one-case row boats of six years in which the trail blaz ers in the uncharted St. Clair began their feeble operations. Today the traffic moves along as business rather than the piracy in which it had Its origin.

Canadian officials assert openly that the United States side is "safe." "Shakedown! Shakedown! That's all it is over there," a customs agent at Sombra said. can land anything over there if you know the right people. Everybody comes in for a cut." The royal commission's inquiry, however, bears testimony that all the "cuts" are not made on the American side. Within the vol uminous records of the commission is the story of one Beck, yardmas-ter for the Canadian National system at Windsor, who told the in vestigator in a public session that in 1925 he received $22,000 from rum exporters for providing false bills of lading on more than gallons of whisky shipped to Detroit. Although Beck has since been removed from the Canadian National service, rail shipments still constitute the bulk of the cross-border liquor consignments from Windsor, according to yard workers there.

By International Kewi Service State College, July 20, A vision of great air liners, capable of carrying hundreds of tohs of freight, Iield up by helium gas was drawn by Dr. R. B. Moore, dean of science at Purdue university before the American Chemical society in session here today. Most people do not realize the commercial possibility of airships filled with helium.

Dr. More stated. The wreck of the Shenandoah and other similar accidents have caused the development of that type craft to be negligible, he said. "Development of airships today is in about the same stage as development of the airplane was at the beginning of the Moore said. By International Neics Service Cheyenne, July-20.

The town of Kelly, in the extreme western end of Wyoming, near the famous Jackson Hole country, is going to move to higher ground.

New German Remedy Is Rival of Insulin By International News Service Berlin, July 20. Insulin has been outdone as a cure for diabetes by a new preparation from animal pan creas which can be taken in tablet form, according to claims published in the Clinical Weekly by th celebrated Prof. Carl H. von Noorden of Frankfurt. Professor von Noor-den's report on his experiments with the new preparation, whose discovery had been previously announced; was awaited with the greatest interest by the whole medi cal world.

According to his report, Profes sor von Noorden tried out tl)e new preparation on 60 patients with complete and uniform success. The sugar content of the blood dropped gradually beginning with the sec ond day, and independent of the meals, but it never dropped below normal nor. was any other unfavor able result noticed. Even in very grave cases in which the patients would have been ordinarily given 60 to 80 units; of insulin, the new preparation worked equally effica cious. On the basis of these experiments Professor von Noorden has released the new preparation for general use by all scientists and physicians.

Women Professors Named at Carolina By International Xewi Service Raleigh, July 20. Women have passed another mllepost in North Carolina on the road to recognition. For the first time since the University of North Carolina was founded 133 years ago, women are going. to be members of the faculty. Shattering of the precedent comes in the wake of the action of the board of trustees of the institution in approving the recommendation of the executive committee that women be admitted to the faculty of the school of education In order to facilitate the service of the school of education in advanced and grad uate instruction for elmentary school teachers and supervisors.

Favored by geography and the oro hibition laws of the United States, Port Huron, formerly a typical middle-western industrial com munity. has been transformed by the mysterious workings of the Volstead act to an international crossroads of the illicit rum-run ning trade, a sort of modern Con stantinople for Canadian beer. whisky and wine.
