being a lemon squeezer if t h a t ' i the
case.
OR centuries men have struggled, frozen, drowned and lost
themselves In attempts to find a
Northwest Passage—an all water
route through the American continent
that would permit European ships to
reach the Orient without sailing around
Cape Horn.
Much of the exploration and settlement of Nrtrth America has been directly attributable to the long-enduring
search.
What Is probably the nearest thing
to a practical Northwest Passage that
will ever exist Is the Hudson Bay route,
now undergoing development by the Canadian government By this route, ships
from European ports would sail through
Hudson Straits, coming f a r Inland
across Hudson bay to the old. hut
newly improved port of Churchill, far
up the bay on the west side.
A Hudson Bay railway, which Joins
the Canadian National at Le Pas In
Manitoba, has been built with Its northern terminus In Churchill. This will
now allow ships unloading at Churchill
to transfer their cargoes to railway
cars there, which will carry them across
western Canada to Vancouver, where
they may be placed aboard ship again
and sfent to sea on the final lap of its
Journey to Japan, China, India or other
Oriental markets.
Such a route has several distinct
advantages over the recognized routes
of today, it is claimed. The distance
of travel from Churchill to Liverpool
is about the same as that from Montreal, Quebec, S t John and Portland,
and loss than from New York, yet
Churchill is much farther into the
heart of Canada and North America.
To wheat farmers of Manitoba and
western Canada it could be made
lastly Important, for its supporters
claim that It could lower the price of
Canadian wheat four cents a bushel.
This, of course, would be of vital importance to wheat farmers In Minnesota
and the Dakotas, for It would make
Canadian wheat a much more serious
competitor, although It is possible that
some American farmers would also
find it cheaper to ship their wheat
though Hudson Bay than through Duluth and the Great Lakes as so many
of them now do.
Needs Oriental Trade.
But to make I t profitable for shipping companies to pick up cargoes of
wheat a t Churchill, bound for Liverpool and European ports, their ships
must be able to bring pay . loads into
Churchill as well as take them out.
It would hardly be worth while for
many ships to enter Hudson Bay only
under balance to pick up a cargo for
the return trip.
The answer seems to be for the shipping companies to develop the Oriental trade, so that ships can bring European manufactured goods to be
transferred to rail for Vancouver and
the Orient, and pick up wheat at
Churchill for the return trip. That
this development will eventually come
about is not at all unprobabie, for the
Canadian government has spent more
than $57,000,000 In developing the Hudson Bay route in the past few years
and it Is doubtful that such an outlay
of capital will be satisfied with tho
hnndful of ships which have cleared
Churchill harbor since the completion
of the Hudson Bay railway five years
ago.
The history of this development Is
fascinating because It Is heroic. Although he was really not the first
adventurer to poke the nose of his
ship into Hudson straits. It is Hendrlk
Hudson to whom goes the honor of
actually discovering the bay which now
bears his name. He found It In 1010
and wintered in the part of it known
as James bay. With a few sick sailors he was cast adrift In an open boat
and that was tbe last ever heard of
him.
The first real occupation of the site
of the present Churchill occurred nine
years later and was Incidental to the
search of Jens Munck, a Danish nobleman, for the Northwest Passage. There
were Iwo ships In his company, but
during the winter he was forced to
spend at Churcblll, all but Munck and
two sailors perished. When the Ice
cleared in 1620—the same year the
Pilgrims landed on Plymouth Rock—
the three of them sailed back to Enrope, leaving a t Churchill as evidence of
their visit a brass cannon, stamped
with the Danish royal mark. In 1031,
more than 300 years latrr, a cairn,
built of beach stones, was orerted to
Munck's honor in Battery park,
Churchill.
Two Frenchmen, Radisson and Qroseilliers, spent the years from 1058
to 1662 In the country about Churchill
and returned home with tates of the
wealth In f u r s that existed there. Falling to Interest their countrymen, they
told their stories to Prince Rupert

of Great Britain, and under his direction, the Hudson Bay company was
formed. Most of the subsequent exploration was -the result of this company's successful efforts to build up
the fur trade.
History of Exploration.
C a p t James Young, under the auspices of the Hudson Bay company,
established a post at Churchill In 1689,
but It burned down shortly afterward.
In the following two decades, Hudson
Bay developments suffered from the
wars between England and France, but
In 1717 another ijost was built at
Churchill. Over a period of years following, the stronghold, Fort Prince of
Wales was constructed, and the ruins
of the fort are still a Churchill landmark.
An Irishman, Sir Arthur Dobbs,
sailed from Churchill In 1735 In another of the many efforts to find the
Northwest Passage which are linked
with the poet's history, but after several attempts he. too, was disappointed.
On the rock near the port may still be
seen the names of his two ships.
Furnace and Discovery, c a n e d there
by the sailors. Another name hewn
from Churchill rock Is that of Samuel
Heatne who, operating from Churchill
as a base in the years from 1709 to
1772, uncovered much of the vast mineral wealth of the Hudson Bay country.
Further development of the territory under the leadership of Mathew
Cocking and Lord Selkirk followed, but
tbe next really Important historical
character In Churchill annsUs was anqther seeker for the elusive Northwest
Passage. He was Sir John Franklin,
who spent the better part of three
decades exploring the Arctic and Hudson Bay. On his third expedition, which
left Churchill In the ships Erebus
and Terror In 1S45, he found It—to his
sorrow. The log of the Terror revealed that a Northwest Passage had
been found to exist at l a s t but Franklin and all of his crew perished In the
Arctic cold.
With the growth of popi^latlon In
Western Canada and the Increasing Importance of the territory's agriculture,
need began to be felt for larger markets. The best market, of course, was
Europe, but It was hard of access be^
cause of the lack of railroads connecting the western farm lands with a
port
In 1908 the department of railways
and canals began surveying the right
of way for the railway, deciding to extend It from Le Pas to Port Nelson,
rather than to Churchill, because
the cost of a line to Port Nelson
was estimated at $4,000,000 less than
one to Churchill. While the line was
started from the south end, activity
was begun-to complete port facilities
a t Port Nelson, but during the World
war the project was abandoned
Port Nelson Is Abandoned.
It was not taken up again until
1926. During the eight years of Inactivity the line hod deteriortted beyond
use. It was decided that before beginning again, another survey should
be made of the relative merits of the
Churchill and Port Nelson terminals,
this time by an Impartial engineer.
The Churchill terminus won o u t
It had been thought earlier, on
Incomplete data available, that the line
to Churchill wan virtually Impossible
of constnictlnn. It would have to be
longer than the line to Port Nelson,
and 75 miles of It would be through
the frozen muskegs, which IC was believed would thaw out during the summer. thus damaging the roadbed beyond repair. But in 1927 it was discovered that a gravel fill over the muskeg
would act as a heat Insulator and prevent it from thawing.
Harbor possibilities were much better at Churchill. Port Nelson could
be entered only at high tide, and then
would not admit ships of more than
26 feet draft, while at Churchill provision for 30-foot could be made at any
tide. The cost of completing the work
at Churchill was estimated to be less
than a t Port Nelson, and the engineers estimated that it could be accomplished In three years less time.
A permanent wharf was built, mooring buoys Installed, the channel deepened and the harbor otherwise Improved. With the completion of t h e
railway, great freight sheds were constructed and cattle pens set up.
Today the one outstanding landmark
of Churchill from any approach is t b e
giant grain elevator. It Is a towering
white skyscraper that seems oddly o u t
of place along the fiat and barren
shore, which Is frozen the year round.1
It holds 2,500.000 bushels, and provisions have been made for enlarging
this capacity to 10,000.000 bushels.
Wheat stored there will "keep" almost
indefinitely because of the year-round
low temperatures that produce natural
refrigeration.
Patrol Ice Areas.
Another Imposing building Is t h e
power house, with Its three generators
capable of carrying a load of 3,000
kilowatts. It takes power to operate
the four grain car unloaders at the
elevator, each capable of emptying
eight cars, a total of 10,000 bushels,
every hour. After the grain has been
elevated it can be delivered to t h e
deep-water wharf by a four-belt conveyor system which runs In a gallery.
The shipping gallery In Its 1,402 feet of
length, provides berths at the wharf
for three ships at one time under the
gallery spouts. Twenty-three boat
spouts make It possible to deliver four
streams Into ships at the rate of 20,000 bushels an hour for each stream.
All of the port facilities are complete for present use. The next step
In the development of the Hudson
Bay route Is the Improvement of navlgatloi. In the bay Itself and In Hudson
strait. The waters are patrolled by a
sea-going, ice-breaking tug, the Ocean
Eagle, which makes s r . itlng trips
each year at the time the ice breaks
up. It must b e remembered that it Is
very cold In this part of the bay territory; the mean yearly temperature Is
about 17 degrees, and the strait and
bay are navigable without Ice-breakers only about six weeks of the year.
The Ice in Churchill harbor usually
breaks up about the middle of J u n e
and closes up again during the last
two weeks of October.
The Canadian government operates
an Ice-breaker, the Stanley, to keep the
strait and bay open as long as possible
and maintains an aerial scouting patrol to keep navigators posted on the
Ice conditions with which they a r e
likely to meet.
About the only thing this new Northwest Passage route needs to become e a
important factor In. world commerce
Is shipping. In 1931 two ships cleared
Churchill harbor; In 1932, 10 ships;
In 1933,10 ships; in 1934,15 ships. A t
the time of this writing only two ships
had cleared Churchill harbor In the
entire summer of 1935.
Should European Interests see lit
to build up Churrhlii as a shipping)
point for manufactured goods bound
for the Orient the shipping should 1
multiply many times. The facilities—
rail, harbor and return pay-loads—are
there. The Canadians who built the
Hudson Bay Route are cofifident that
eventually the new Northwest Passage
will be a busy one.

"Over that side," she assented. "If
yo're still a mind to go!" And she
urged, almost cajollngly: "You won't
take any trout today. Brook's too
high!"
He would not argue with her. "Likely not," he agreed. "But I'm a mind
t o see the brook." He found the steep
iwth at one side.
"What did you come here for, anyway T* she demanded, and her mouth
w a s sullen, almost angry, challenging.
"To fish," he said, uncomfortably.
"To see Hostile Valley."
"We ain't all hostile here," she said.
She was smiling again. "If you wa'n't
in such a hurry!" He took one step
down. "1, might come along with you,"
she proposed. "If you asked me pretty,
1 c'd show you the best holes."
Saiadine was a man sober and cont a i n e d ; but no man could escape the
disturbing force «he emanated. His
senses swam and his cheek was brick
ter of hair and lips and eyes, of color
ing and conformation. She was, Saladlne thought illumined and made radiant by some inward glory.
He told her: "I didn't look to run
Into anyone, this far from the road."
"It's not f a r to where I live." she
said simply; and she asked: "Done
anything?"
"Not much," he said apologetically.
"Someone fished down through ahead
of me. That'd score the trout. I see
bis tracks. Likely he passed you?"
"There's a steam mill working, down
below," she reflected. "Likely It was
one of the men from therp.'' She was
clearly uneasy. "I've got to go." she
decided, and before he could speak to
detain her, she was gone. She vanished among the trees, and he had an
impression of an almost musical harmony as she moved.
The girl set out for home swiftly,
disturbed by this encounter, her eyes
watchful of the woods around. She
came bock to the house, and Marm
Pierce sow her uneasiness and asked:
"What happened, Jenny? See someone?"
"A man, down brook," Jenny explained. "Fishing, he was." She hesitated. "He didn't bother me," she said.
"He was kind of like Will, big, and
steady."
Marm Pierce chuckled. "Kind of
like Will!" she repeated derisively.
"That's all you can think of. Mill
man, was he?"
But Jenny shook her head. "No."
She added: "He didn't bother me. But
he said he'd seen tracks all-down the
brook, along the path. 1 didn't know
who might be around."
"This man, did he look like he might
be from Augusta?"
Jenny shook her head. "No, more
like folks around here." she declared.
"But no one I ever see before."
They exhausted the subject presently, and must by and by have forgotten
I t But a little before noon, when he
was done fishing, Saiadine, mistaking
Will Ferrin's directions and seeking
the road to Carey's, took the way In
to Mdrm Pierce's farm Instead, and
so came to the house divided. Marm
Pierce and Jenny were In the dining
room when rain suddenly began to fall..
Jenny rose to close a window, and as
she did so, Saladlne came running
around the house to take shelter on
the porch; and Jenny called over her
shoulder:
"Granny, here's that man I see down
brook!" They saw him pass the windows and go toward the kitchen door,
and the girl made haste to open to
him there.
When Saladlne thus saw Jenny
again, he was surprised afresh at her
beauty, and amused at this second encounter. The rain had wetted him.
"Come In and set." Jenny Invited
him. "Till the rain's done. Yo're soaked
through!" She pushed the screen door
wide.
"Come In, come in!" Marm Pierce
insisted. "Wafer won't hurt the floors,
and you'll catch your death out there!"
So he leaned the loose sections of
his disjointed rod against the weatherhoarded wall and stepped Into the
kitchen, "i fished down brook, after I
saw you." he said to the girl. "It's all
a bog. below there. I got enough of
that, and cut hack up to the road.
Will Ferrln told me to take the first
road right . . ."
When he spoke that name, the girl's
pulse caught then pounded In a qulck-
red.
"I'll find 'em." he blurted: and
plunged down the steep path toward
the brook like one who breaks away
from detaining hands.
From the foot of the precipice he
looked up and back, his eye drawn
irresistibly, ghe stood poised on ihe
very margin of the ledge, leaning a
little over to watch him; and he heard
her laugh softly.
Then he turned into the woods, relieved to be away. He supposed she
would go bock to the house; but so fai*
a s Saladlne ever knew, she did not return to the house again before she
died.
CHAPTER VII
"I C'd Show You the Best Holes."
Jenny went down brook that morning to do Marm Pierce's bidding In the
matter of the illy root; and as she
passed quietly through the woods,
there was a stir of new life in the
forest about her.
The girl made her way to a pool she
knew, with a rip of singing water at
t h e head. Jenny crawled out on a log
and lay at length, reaching deep Into
the water with a heavy kitchen knife
to loose one of the roots from the
mucky bottom. Saiadine came upon
her while she was thus engaged.
Along any well-fished stream there
is sure to be a trail that will lead
even a stranger to the most advan
tageous spots from which to try each
pool. Saiadine was quick to discover
such a path here. When he first found
I t he saw u boot track In the muck,
and knew that another angler had gone
down brook this same morning. He
thought regretfully that if the other
man hod fished the pools, the trout
would be not so readily responsive
now; and a s he went on, he bepan to
wonder about this man who had gone
downstream before him, and to watch
alertly, waiting to overtake the other
But It was not a man whom presently he enconntered, but a woman, lying along a log which extended Into
one of tbe pools, with her bead lower
than her heels, her ankles crossed, and
her heels toward him.
While he checked in his tracks, still
•nd astonished, she brought up out of
the water an object which be recognized; one of the thick fleshy rootetocks of the water lily. She washed
It clean, and then she rose co her
h a n d s and knees on the log, and sat
back on her heels, and so came to her
jfeet and turned to face Jim on the
bank behind her here.
Her dark eyes widened at sight of
film; and Jim looked at her with a
pleasurable appreciation. The beauty
ivhlch she wore was not a c!mpie mat-
er beat. To think suddenly of Will
could always shake her long composure. She stepped back, into the shadowed eqd of the kitchen by the sink;
hut Marm Pierce—she .iad put aside
her knitting—came out from the dining room and said briskly:
"Chunk up the fire, Jenny," and to
J i m : "Yon g e t . u p close and dry."
Jenny obeyed, glad of this pretext
for activity; and Saladlne told them
his name and errand here. ' T h e road
in here fooled me," he explained. "1
thought It'd bring me to Carey's. It
looks like a traveled road."
She nodded, with clucking chnckle.
•'Tis: - ' she agreed. "A lot of people
come in here, take It by and large!"
"Why?"
Her little block eyes twinkled at
him. "If yon lived anywhere around
here, you'd hove heard of Marm
Pierce," she told him, a crotchety
pride In her tones. "Folks come to me
for doctoring. Yarba and simples. I've
healed a pile of hurts In my day.
"A real doctor can't make a living
here, so they come to me, and pay me
with help In hay time, or they get my
wood in, and do the chores that's too
heavy for Jenty."
"It must be hard for Just tbe two of
you," he hazarded.
S>he related, almost proudly, her ancient stubborn quarrel with her brother. He said, amused:
"Looks to me you cut off your own
nose to spite your face!"
"Folks get so they banker for a
flght, around here," Marm Pierce declared. "Quarreling with your kin
comes natural In Hostile Valley. I take
a heap of satisfaction out of seeing
the Wln-slde of this house go to rot
and ruin. Serves him right, I say!"
"He around?" Saladlne asked.
"He sneaks back, oncet in so often,
to see to't I'm letting things slone,"
she said. "Or be says that's why." Her
tone was dry wltli scorn.
Then old Harm Pierce asked; T e t i
COLOMA
say you come In by Will's?" And at
his assent, she said: "Will's a fine
man! He deserves better!"
Salodlne explained: "I left my car a t
Will's. Mis' Ferrln showed me tbe path
down to the brook."
Marm Pierce's tone was suddenly
unfriendly. "Guess likely you visited
with her for a spell?" Saladlne shook
his head; and the other said t a r t l y :
"It's a wonder she let you get away!"
There seemed no reply to this; but
Saladlne, standing by the stove, was
deeply uncomfortable. He had caught
one foot between two bowlders, and
had felt a sharp burning pain In his
ankle. Moving a step away ffom the
stove Just now, that hurt reminded
him of its existence with a pain so
sharp that be winced, and limped. The
old woman looked at blm shrewdly.
"Your foot hurt?" she asked.
"1 twisted It," he confessed, and
she came to her feet with a spry alacrity.
"High time you was a'teiiing me,"
she said. "I can tend that for you.
Set down and take off your shoe."
She began to heat something in a
saucepan on the stove.
"Wormwood boiled in vinegar and
rubbed on hot. That'll take out the
pain In no time!" Acid fumes arose
from the mixture she was stirring.
"How'd you do it?" she asked.
He said with a smile at his own
clumsiness: "A fool thing. Ail down
brook today, I kept feeling as If someone was watching me. So I kept looking back, and naturally I stepped into
a hole." And he said, watching h e r :
"This Valley's a gloomy place for •
stranger, ma'am!"
She nodded. "It Is that," she agreed.
"And for folks that live here, too. I
could tell you tales." And then suddenly she became motionless, her head
cocked, listeuing. "Heavy foot a-comIng," she said softly, and looked
toward the outer door.
Saiadine, seated, did not immediately
rise; and Marm Pierce was busy, so It
was Jenny who crossed to the door.
She was thus the first to see B a r t
striding toward the house through the
rain. He bore a burden in his arms, a
woman. Her head bung down over
his elbow, and her upturned face
streamed wltlv rain. Huldy Ferrln,
limp and still and broken I That dark
red garment she wore was drenched
and shapeless now.
Jenny Instinctively recoiled; but
Marm Pierce came to filng the door
wide. Bart stepped up on the porch,
panting. He crossed the threshold
and his dripping burden stained the
clean scrubbed floor.
For an instant none spoke. Jenny,
like one poised for flight, backed into
the dining room. There was a hideous
ringing In her ears, and she stared at
Huldy with blonk, glazed eyes. Even
Marm Pierce was startled Into silence.
Then Bart told them In explosive
ejaculation: "She fell jff the ledge
back of Will's. I fetched her here—
case you could—do anything."
So Marm Pierce recovered her wits
and took quick command. "Carry her
in here," she hade; and led the way
Into the dining room. Jenny moved
aside, and Bart deposited Huldy upon
the couch against the further wall.
Jenny saw that he was curiously
disheveled. Something—a dead stub
which he had brushed In his passage
through the wood—had gouged three
deep scratches on his cheek; and the
shoulder of his shirt was torn. His
garments all were soaked, save that
across the front of him, where he had
carried Huldy in his arms, the faded
blue of his overalls was of a lighter
hue than elsewhere. Her body, pressed
against his, had kept the denim there,
save for two thin trickles, completely
dry.
And Jenny remembered that ledge
where she had seen Huldy, lying In
the sun, on a day long ago; and she
remembered, shudderingly, the steep
declivity below.
Then Bart was speaking, still panting a little.
"I was flshlng," he said. "Down helow Will's place. Heard her let out a
screech, and then a kind of thump;
and I scrabbled up there to the foot
of the ledge and there she was.
"1 'low she's dead and done for," he
confessed. "But I never took time 10
think of t h a t ! "
Morm Pierce nodded. "Aye, done for,
finally." she said In low, almost triumphant tones.
"I couid've lugged her home, up the
hill," Bart admitted, "But It's steep,
and I thought you might do something.
It's some further over here than up to
Will's; but It's easier going. looked
to me I could get her here as quick as
there!"
He was rubbing bis right hand with
his l e f t and Jenny saw that the right
was bruised and swollen, a spilt across
one knuckle.
"You hurt yqur hand," she suggested. huskily.
"Fell on i t ; fell and landed on a
rock," Bart agreed.
The girl turned toward the couch;
she stood beside It. hei- back against
the wall, her hands spread at her sides
and her palms pressing against the
piaster. She iook'ed down at the hurt
woman over her shoulder, sidewlse.
with wide eyes; her lips were white
and still. Bart stood In the middle of
the room, and while he spoke he
scrubbed with his palm at some dark
stain on his sleeve. His palm was
stained when he was done; and he
stared at I t and nibbed It against his
overalls. ' *
Marm Pierce said softly to herself,
like an old ci'one mumhiing some mystic c h a r m : "The blood still runs!"
She darted out to the kitchen, lightly,
swiftly, moving like a shadow; she
returned with some white stuff in her
hand, and clapped this against a
wound on Huldy Ferrin's neck, from
which a thin stream flowed. She held
her hand pressed there.
"Dead, ain't she?" Bart asked busk11*.
"You'd best go fetch Will, B a r t " she
directed.
" W h a f l i I tell him?"
"Tell blm anything yo're a mind!"
she said Impatiently.
"I'd better stay here," t b e young
man urged. "There might be something I could do!"
"I can do anything needs doing,"
Saiadine volunteered. He saw Bart's
glance touch his bare f o o t "I sprained
my ankle, down In the woods," be explained. "Marm Pierce was boiling
up some liniment for me."

TIMOTHY
LESSON TEXT—II Timothy 1:1-14.
GOLDEN TEXT—Give diligence to
present thyself approved unto God, a
workman that needeth not to be
ashaned. handling aright the word of
truth. II Timothy MB.
PHI MA It Y TOPIC—The Boy Timothy.
JUNIOR TOPIC—A Missionary In the
Making.
INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—Training for Service.
TOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—Training in Home and Church.
Timothy's training would be the
proper training for every child. In
the measure that such training be given there would be a more abundant
supply of Christian workers.
I. Timothy's Parentage (Acts 10:1).
His father was a Greek and his
mother a believing Jewess. On his
mother's side at least, ne had a godly
ancestry. Usually the Influence of the
mother makes the son. A pious mother and a pious grandmother were back
of Timothy. How thankful we ought
to be to God for a God-feorlng ancestry.
II. Timothy's Training (II Tim. 1:0;
3:14,15).
A wise and faithful mother and
grandmother carefully nurtured him In
God's Word. Through this training, he
knew the Scriptures from his childhood. The faith -which come to him
from his grandmother through his
mother did not come through the laws
of heredity, but through careful training and teaching. Grace Is not received by the laws of heredity. The
factors Involved In his training were
a godly ancestry, a home where God
was feared, and a diligent study of
the Scriptures.
III. Tlmothy'a Call (Acts 16:1-3).
While on his second missionary
Journey In company with Silas. Poul
found Timothy ot Lystro near Derbe.
Perhaps he had been converted on
Paul's first missionary Journey, but.
hearing a favorable report of him by
the brethren. Paul circumcised him so
as not to offend the Jews because his
father was a Greek. This was not contrary to the decision of the Jerusalem
council. It was a case where conciliation could be made without compromise of truth.
IV. Timothy's Character.
1. Of a retiring disposition (II Tim.
1 :G). He had received a gift from God
! at the hands of the apostles, "but It
needed to he stirred u p : that Is. fanned
into o flame. Such a temperament
would mature In touch with a great
personality like Paul.
2. Courageous (ii Tim. 2:1-8). Having been stirred up. he was freed from
I the spirit of fear and deliberately Identified himself with Paul in his suffering and trials. Courage is greatly
; needed In the doing of (Jod's work.
3. Faithful. He continued In the
' difficult field of Cphesus during many
1 years. He was the only man of the
needed fldelily to minister to the Phil1 Ipplans (Phil. 2:?0). The secret of his
| faithfulness In such a position was his
fidelity to the Word ot God.
V. Timothy's Ministry.
1. As fellow missionary with Paul
(Phil. 2:22).
2. As pastor of the Church at Kphesus. Here he labored for many years,
tactfully meeting the difficulties of that
! great church. Tiie Christian minister
I must believe In the Scriptures as God's
j Word and he able to rightly divide
j them so as to meet the need of those
who hoar him.
VI. Paul's Farewell Messa;e to Timothy (II Tim. 1:1-14).
1. Personal relationship (vv. 1. 2).
Timothy was Paul's spiritual son.
therefore a peculiar love went out to
him. This strong flection w a s . a vital factor in Influencing Timothy's life.
2. Paul's deep Interest in Timothy
( w . s r.).
a. Prayer for him. While a prisoner In a lonely dungeon, he thinks
of Timothy and prays for him.
b. Longed to see him. This reveals
the vital reciprocal affection between
Paul and Timothy, and also reveals
Paul's Inner self. He was intensely
human.
3. Gives Timothy Earnest Counsel
(vv. fr14).
a. To stir up the divine gift within
him (vv. 6. 7). To stir up means to
fan Into flame. Enthusiasm of the
Christian worker lias a tendency to
wane and, therefore, needs to be constantly stirred up. He needs every
day and every hour to live up to the
best of his opportunities and capabilities.
b. Be not ashamed (vv. fe-12). He
must be willing to suffer aftiiction for
Christ's siike. Paul's example was a
strong Incentive.
C. Hold fast the essential truths of
the gospel (vv. 13, 14). This means
the fundamental truths of Christianity,
Including the incarnation, atonement,
resurrection, and coming ogoin of
Jesus Christ. These doctrines have
been committed to God's servants as
precious deposits. Servants of Christ
are charged with the solemn obligation
of guarding them as the shepherd
guards his sheep or the soldier that
which has been committed unto him.

Long Time Between Drinks
for Many Hawaiian Cows
Iteports on cattle In Hawaii that
do not drink wafer for long periods
are verified by a representative of
tiie bureau of animal Industry, L'nlted Stales Department of Agriculture,
In Honolulu, who tells of a number
of cases where ranch cattle In the
dry regions get along for months In
spite of the lack of streams, springs,
water holes, and artificial water supplies. The animals get the needed
moisture fmm the succulent leaves
of cactus or other plants, from dew
and rain on leaves, nnd from occasional small pools that remain after
rain.
There have been stories that some
of these cattle refuse to drink water
from a pool or tank and that they
are even afraid of water. The bureau man reports that ranchers do
not corroborate such statements.
Ranchers say that rattle find pools
often enough so that they are acquainted with the appearance of water in that form.
On one large ranch on the Island
of Hawaii, only (5 inches of rain fell
lu 1033 instead of tho usual 20 to 40
Inches. The cattle were turned In
on a large cactus area where there
was no available water except that
In the plants, and very few deaths
of animals were reported.

THAT BAffN
PLAVHOUSe I
The young man with the nautical
turn of mind, having preserved his
savings, determined to gratify his
greatest desire to become the sole
owner of a dinghy, the type of small
boat sometimes usbd as tender to a
vessel, hut more comnnnly favored
by sportsmen for sailing purposes.
Accordingly he telephoned to one of
the city's largest department stores
to obtain prices, having seen such
craft advertised.
"i would like to inquire about a
dinghy," he explained to one of the
store's telephone operators.
The operator seemed to he a trifle
thick. She failed to- get It.
"A what?" she asked.
"A dinghy," he replied. "I want
to find the price of a dinghy."
"Thank you," said the operator in
that cheery way operators sometimes
have.

LOS ANGELES TIMES CO>DIEXTS
ON MICHIGAN TOURIST I / ) D G E
Michigan nt last 1ms one type of
tourist promotion sorvice that has
made California onvions.
The I.os Angolos Times in a recent
editorial lauded the new tourist lodge
ii nd information station operated by
the state highway department on
US-12 near New Buffalo. The same
editorial chided California on its
treatment of visitors upon reaching
the borders of that state.
"The (Michigan) service must furnish contrast to the sort of reception
visitors get a t the California border,
where cars a r e inspected—and their
occupants put to Inquisition—to see
that neither boll weevils nor Chinamen a r e being smuggled in" the editorial read.
"Something to make desirable tourists feel welcome would at least be an
offset to the pest-seokers and neutralize the bad impression they create."
The New Buffalo tourist lodge was
opened this year as nn experiment and
may l»e extended to other Michigan
gateways If the experiment lives up
to expectations. It not only affords
the tourist a place to rest but provides a clearing-house for every coneelvable type of information on Michigan's resort attractions.

School Tills Year.
Called Off On Account of Rain.
The Visual Method derives its name
from the electric wall-board used In
this method of teaching and through
the use of this electric device the
efficient application of the principles
of modern teaching a r e now made
possible.
The four things which the Visual
Method class Instruction does for the
pupil a r e :
1. Pupils a r e taught to artistically
play interesting pieces from the first
lesson, thereby engendering ih the
pupil a love for music.
2. Drudgery Is eliminated. Keyboard harmony and fundamentals of
music a r e easily and interestingly
The baseball game scheduled for last
Sunday a t Paw Paw Lake between
the Crystal Palace Red Sox and the
Eau Claire Independents was postponed on account of rain and the two
teams will meet a t a later date. The
Coloma team has played fifteen games
this year, winning eleven of t h e m and
losing four. They still have several
games to be played this season. Including a two-game series with their
old rivals, the Balnbrldge All Stars,
now the Mlllburg Aces, and when
these two teams meet a good game Is
always assured.
Next Sunday the Crystal Palace
team will travel to Stevensvllle to
play the Shoreham* Independents and
on the following Sunday will be a t
home again.

3. By the use of the Electric W a l l
Board concentration is developed to
the highest degree, thus advancement
Is very rapid.
4. T h e Visual Method develops
self-expression, the constant opportunity that the pupils have of playing
before each other eliminates selfconsciousness nnd the spirit of competition obtained through dasswork
tends to keen interest and advancement.
Class instruction enables a parent
to determine whethei a child has a
talent and desire for music and the
low cost enables more parents to give
their children a musical education.
I t Is not necessary for a pupil to
have a piano In the home to participate In this class instruction, practically all the work Is done in the
classroom. Many of our best students
a r e without pianos.
The Visual Metiiod is now being
taught in over 40 school systems in
Michigan.
The following Is an excerpt f r o m a
letter written by one of Michigan's
foremost educators: "I have very
carefully observed the Visual Method
piano classes which have been conducted In our schools for the past two
years, both as superintendent of
schools and a s parent of a child who
has taken the work. I am very enthusiastic for the whole plan. Children nave. In a year's time, acquired
a skill and i n t e r e s t , i n music t h a t is

If Banks Were Operated
for Profit Only
Nowhere in the world do the banks put
service to the community ahead of profits as in the United States.
The truth of this is shown in a recent
survey^ which revealed that "in the average bank 50% of the depositors carry
but 3% of the total deposits." In other
words, American banks sacrifice profits
by providing better banking facilities to
more people than is considered necessary by banks in other countries. But
that is the "American spirit" of American banking.
Need we add that service to the community comes first a( this bank? Here
the small depositor receives the same
service as the larger depositor, and his
account is just as welcome.

••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Grand Rapids—Hugh J . Gray, mana g e r of the West Michigan Tourist
and Resort Association, reports that
Michigan has been host to more than
twice as many tourists this season
than a year ago.
Allegan—R. L. Nowell, of Madison,
Wis., regional director of land utilization, has allotted §420,000 for the
purchase of 35,000 acres of sub-marginal land in Allegan County, it has
been learned here.
Caro—Mr. and Mrs. Simon Wills,
76 and 79 years old, have just applied
f o r naturalization, although they have
voted for 50 years. They thought
their first papers, taken out half a
century ago, were final.
Tecumseh—James Hartsell has a
cotton plant 53 inches tall in his
garden, still growing and in bloom.
An employee of the Hayden Milling
Co., he found a few seeds last Janua r y in a burlap sack that came to
the elevator.
Bay City—Police Judge Raphael
G. Phillips, who has been without
hands since his youth, was host to
Harry Hinkanen, 14, of Detroit, who
lost his hands recently in an explosion. The boy spent a week with
Judge Phillips.
Lansing—The State proposes to remove nearly 200 inmates from the
Detroit House of Correction and
transfer them to the State penal institutions to cut expenses. The
change will help the State Prison
Commission to operate within its
budget, it is believed.
Pentwater—Fire threatened Pentwater, but was placed under control
with the loss of only two structures
in the business section. The Hart fire
department assisted Pentwater firemen. Buildings destroyed were a
three-story frame structure housing
a laundry and a cigar store adjoining.
Gaylord—A herd of 900 elk which
roams the Pigeon River has grown
from a one-third carload of the animals released here 18 years ago in an
effort to propagate the animals in the
State. The remainder of,the carload,
released a t Harrison and Roscommon,
has apparently long since disappeared.
Lansing—Tax returns on July sales
are maintaining a high level, despite
the application of the Flynn Act,
which exempts agricultural and industrial production items. A total
of $3,359,422 was received at the close
of business Aug 27. For July of last
year only $3,034,974 was collected. In
June of this year, $3,648,992 was
taken in.
Owosso—Two hundred men will be
employed for a year, by the Looking
Glass River Improvement project
in Shiawassee County. The undertaking, a PWA project, will cost
$96,000 of which $57,000 will be for
hand labor. The widening, deepening
and cleaning of the river, will make
65,000 acres of muck land available
f o r peppermint raising.
Mt. Clemens—Gratiot Ave., south
of Mt. Clemens to Roseville, will be a
two-way super-highway. The entire
strip of property needed for widening was involved in condemnation proceedings here some time ago, but proceedings were dropped by the State
because awards were too high. Later
the State decided to simply widen the
present pavement and abandon the
plan for a four-lane road.
Grand Rapids—One hundred years
of feminine achievement will be reviewed here next November in the
Michigan Women's Centennial Exposition, the first event of its kind ever
attempted in the State. Planned as
a contribution of Michigan women to
the series of celebrations which have
observed the State's hundredth birthday, the event is expected to encompass women's activities from pioneer
times to the present, showing the part
they have played in the settlement of
the Northwest Territory.
Marquette—More than 2,700 persons, or 10 per cent of the State institutional population, are aliens. A
survey of State institutions to determine the number of alieils who could
be repatriated and co-operation of
circuit judges in sentences of prison
inmates for whom passports could be
obtained, resulted in the Welfare Department receiving 260 applications
f o r repatriation, with 151 aliens returned to native lands. These aliens
in the last three years have cost
counties or the State $30,000.
Detroit — The largest "talking"
Neon sign ever constructed has been
built on a Woodward Avenue building by The Goodyear Tire & Rubber
Co. Eighty-eight feet long and 19
feet high, the sign is composed of 10
panels. Each panel weighs approximately 1,000 pounds and five trucks
were required to transport the sections from Akron to Detroit. There
are 35 to 40 relay units per box,
more than 400 f o r the entire sign.
The letters will be changeable and
any sort of message may be flashed,
the engineers in charge said.
Lansing—The State Agricultural
Department agricultural report indicates t h a t Michigan is participating
in a bumper crop this year to a f a r
greater extent than her sister states.
For example, the report says t h a t a
group of states which produce mostly
pea beans had prospects of an increase of 450,000 bags in the annual
crop. Most of t h a t increase was due
to the splendid condition of Michigan's crop. Dry weather, the report
showed, increased Michigan's market
prospects but decreased the crop in
Montana, Idaho, and California.
Pontiac—A taxpayer whose tax bill
of |2.40, due in 1840, had never been
paid was among those who took advantage of the currcnt moratorium
on interest and penalties to pay taxes
delinquent'for 1932 and prior years,
this county's treasurer r e v e a l s .
Through some oversight the bill had
never been paid and .the property
never p u t up f6r sale. When the tax-j
payer asked for his delinquent tax
bill, the old 1840 bill was found. But
for the moratorium he would have
had to pay interest of three-quarters
of one per cent a month since 1840.
Mt. Pleasant—Michigan's first Oil
and Gas Exposition will be held on
Sept. 23 to 28, and if it proves successful the event will be repeated annually to portray the State's newest
major industry.
Jackson—The City Commission has
approvtd an oil surfacing f o r 69 miles
of dirt streets at an estimated cost
of nearly $400,000, to be handled as
a WPA project. A cost of 10 cents
a lineal foot will be assessed property
owners on the streets to be improved.
Lansing—Filing of a "heart balm"
suit in Michigan, except under special circumstances, will henceforth attract prosecution instead of sympathy. With 88 other enactments of
the 1935 Legislature, the PalmerSchneider Act will go into effect this
month.
Saginaw—Estimating it would provide a year's work for 1,500 men, t h e
City Council has decided to apply
for a PWA g r a n t to remove the street
car tracks f r o m the streets. The job
would probably cost more than a
million dollars since rails cover 17
miles of Saginaw streets.
Holland—With notification that the
Senate and House groups had agreed
on an appropriation of $125,000 f o r
improving the harbor here, with
$2,000 a year for maintenance, Holland is looking forward to extensive
work on its harbor. Approved plans
?all for a channel 23 feet deep. The
conference also agreed to have a survey of a proposed ship canal from
Holland to Grand Rapids.
Traverse City—Plans a r e being laid
here for a series of locks to make six
inland lakes accessible to pleasure
boats plying the Great Lakes. Development of the locks will probably
be a WPA project. The locks will
be constructed a t Elk Rapids, Kewadin or Torch Lake, connecting either
Elk Lake or Torch Lake with t h e
east arm of Grand Traverse Bay.
The cost is estimated a t $100,000.
Battle Creek — When Emperor
Haile Selassie of Ethiopia, observed
his forty-fourth birthday on July 24
one of the guests a t the Palace in
Addis Ababa was Leona Kibby, former Battle Creek school teacher. Miss
Kibby resigned her position in the
Ann J. Kellogg School at Battle
Creek last spring to go to Ethiopia
and work in the Sudan Interior Mission as a missionary to the blind.
Empire — John Nowalk, Detroit
glider pilot, said he had established
new state records for altitude and
endurance here when he soared to a
height of 1,200 feet in a flight of an
hour and 17 minutes that ended when
he encountered rain. Prof. R. E.
Franklin, Ypsilanti glider designer,
landed his ship upon the Sleeping
Bear sand dune, 500 feet high, a f t e r
a brief flight, starting, like Nowalk,
from lake level. He said he was t h e
first ever to accomplish the feat.
Ionia—Curtailment of Michigan's
prison industries caused the dismissal
of three veteran employees a t the
Michigan State Reformatory. Officials said the notices of dismissal
came n o m Lansing and predicted
that others would follow. Those immediately affected are J . L. Pickerell,
superintendent of the shirt factory
for five years; Harvey Dean, finishing room foreman for 10 years, and
P. J . Costello, foreman of the stitching room for 10 years. All are f r o m
Ionia.
Lansing—The State Highway Department has awarded bids on three
projects included in its $20,700,000
improvement program a t the following figures: Oakland County, 2-8 miles
oi grading and surfacing and 20-foot
oil aggregate roadway on M-87 from
Holly east, $39,936. Presque Isle
County, 1.7 miles of grading and
drainage structure on new U. S.-23
from Cedarburg northwest, $48,544;
3.2 miles of grading and drainage
structure on new U. S.-23 location,
Cedarburg east, $22,889.
Newberry—Bishop Edgar Blake,
head of the Detroit M. E. Area, dedicated a rustic chapel for which people
from all parts of the country contributed literally a mile of pennies. The
chapel, built of spruce logs and stones
from the Lake Superior shore, is at
Hulbert, on the site of an ancient
church. One of the features of the
chapel is the baptismal font, made
from a specially selected maple butter bowl manufactured in Hulbert,
lined with Michigan copper, and set
into an upright spruce log.
Mt. Clemens—The Mitchell Trophy
Race, f a s t b e c c a n g one of the outstanding' aerial speed events in the
United States, will be held on October 19, according to an announcement by Selfridge Field authorities.
Last year's race, the first Mitchell
Trophy contest held in three years,
attracted more than 50,000 spectator?. The trophy was donated to the
First Pursuit Group by Brig. Gen.
William Mitchell in honor of his
brother, John Mitchell, who was killed in France while a member of the
group.
Lansing—Additional State money
may be needed for direct relief a f t e r
the new Federal relief program goes
into effect Nov. 1, the State Emergency Relief Commissioner has warned
Gov. Fitzgerald. About 168,000 Michigan families are on t h e relief rolls,
and about 40,000 of these cases arc
estimated to be in the "unemployable"
class. A f t e r Nov. 1, the State and its
subdivision must assume full responsibility f o r the unemployables. It is
assumed that the other cases will be
made self-sustaining by means of
WPA jobs.
• Lansing—A 15 per cent reduction
in Liquor Control Commission payrolls has been announced by Secretary
Gilbert H. Isbister. A t the peak there
were 929 employes on the commission's payroll. This number has been
cut to 790, according to Isbister, partly through the abolition of the commission's inspection staff, which consisted of 68 men, and partly through
t h e elimination of other employes in
Detroit, Lansing and elsewhere. The
commission has thus f a r c t y e d 12
liquor stores, and plans to close about
15 more.

Correction Sets Speed at 300
Miles an Hour.
Yank Concerns Cancel Pact
With Ethiopia.
Bonneville Salt Flats, Utah.—Sir
Malcolm Campbell, British speed ace,
thundered past an official record of
300 miles an hour in his six ton Bluebird on the Salt Flats of Utah today,
an official corrective announcement disclosed.
In one of the most stcrtllng reversals
In the history of speed racing the
American Automobile association contest board said Sir Malcolm had actually averaged 301-33 miles per hour Instead of 200.875, an It had originally
announced for the two way run.
It brought delight to the fifty-yearold knight.
His heart set for years upon a five
miles a minute record. Sir Malcolm
curbed his disappointment when told
he had failed by a fraction to make It
nnd announced he would take to tho
13-mlle course again.
Further Trials Are Off.
With the 300 mile an hour record
his. however, he called off further runs.
The change In time that brought the
titled Englishman the five mile a minute record was announced a f t e r a conference among AAA officials. The error was In the computation of figures
taken from the timing tape.
The tape. It was said, showed the
error of ten one hundredths of a second In subtraction. The error caused
Sir Malcolm to be credited with 205.560
miles per hour on the second run. '
Actually, he roared down the salt
roadbed on his second trial a t a speed
of 208.013. according to the revised figures. after nn Initial run of 304.311.
Set Old Mark Last Year.
He set the mark of 270.810 at Daytona Beach, Fla.. last March 7.
Arriving at the course two. hours
late. Sir Malcolm sent his $180,000
Bluebird roaring over the measured
mile for the first run at a clip only a
fraction of a mile under the United
States airplane record of 304.08.
.lust as the six ton juggernaut was
emerging from the measured mile on
the first trip down the 13 mile straightaway. a front tire blew out. Campbell
brought the car to a halt safely about
half a mile short of the end of tiie
course. He later attributed fallrre to
attain greater speed on the return run
to this half mile shorter start and also
to cross winds.
Wn hington.—Reiterating American
determination to avoid foreign complications. Secretary of State Hull
announced that the Standard-Vacuum
Oil company will withdraw linmedlntely from participation In all oil and
mineral concessions recently secured
in Ethiopia by F. W. Rlckett, the British promoter.
The concessions, said to have been
worth $60,000,000, were haled as a
wedge that might have forced America into the African mess.
Hull said he conferred with George
S. Wnlden, chairman of the board, and
S. Dundas. vice president of the company. telling them that It would be
"highly desirable" for the company
to withdraw from the concession.
Hull disclosed he had had two conferences with Walden and Dundas.
In his first conference he said he advised them that the oil concession
had proved "most embarrassing" to
this government and suggested Its termination.
Wnlden nnd Dundas. he said, conferred at once with associates In New
York and later returned to ndvlse
the State department that they would
withdraw from the concession and
would so notlty the Ethiopian emperor.
Company Jointly Owned.
The Standard-Vacuum Oil company
Is owned jointly by the Socony-Vacuum
Oil company and the Standard Oil
company of New Jersey.
Hull's statement follows:
"Mr. George S. Wnlden and Mr. Dundas. chairman of ihe board and vice
president, respectively, of the Standard
Vacuum Oil company, called on September 3, 1035, to make known to the
department that their company Is the
owner of an extensive oil concession
granted by the emperor of Ethiopia
on August 20, Inst, to the African Exploration and Development company,
a subsidiary of the Standard-Vacuum
Oil company, and to seek the department's advice on the situation created
by the grant.
Told of Embarrassment
"The officials of the above mentioned company were Informed that
the 'granting of this concession had
been the cause of great embarrassment. not only to this government but
to other governments who are making
strenuous and slnccre efforts for tbe
preservation of peace.
"In the circumstances, tbe company
officials were Informed of the views
of tills government that It was highly
desirable that the necessary steps
should be taken at the earliest possible moment to terminate the present
concessions. The secretary of state
was later informed by the above officials of the company that the company has decided to withdraw from
the concession nnd Is notifying tho
emperor to that effect."
The United States government will
continue to keep "hands off" In the
Italo-Ethlopian controversy, Hull said,
bluntly reminding other nations of
their pledges to keep peace.
He Indicated emphatically that this
country would not be stampeded into
the impending African war by oil concessions.
Bathed in Fire.
The wind blew the fumes from his
motor back Into the cockpit on the second run and when he feared ho might
be overcome. Sir Malcolm opened the
front ventilator. This sent a spray of
salt pouring Into the cockpit, peppering him like a barrage of darts"
Sir .Malcolm also set a new record
for five kilometers, with an average
time of 38.285 seconds, or a speed of
202.142 miles. The former kilometer
mark, which he held, was 2.')7.or» miles
an hour, set last year at Daytona
Beach. Fla.. when he set the mile record of 276.810 miles per hour which
was broken by the latest two rurts.
Clay Says "Idle Money"
to Boost Autumn Trade
New York.—"Idle money, amounting
to tens of billions of dollars and billions of dollars' worth of farm products coming Into the market will be
dynamic stimulants to autumn prosperity," Paul Clay, economist, said in
the current Brookmlre Economist.
"The physical volume of crop production." his article said, "tho restored equilibrium of agricultural nnd
non-agricultural prices and the tendency of the crop financing plus the
other autumn trade activity to Induce
business to utilize our vast total of
potential bank credits—all these give
promise of increasing prosperity upon
a sound economic basis."
Roaring over the Bonneville Salt
Flats of Utah, Sir Malcolm CampbelU
English sportsman, piloted his $180,000
Bluebird over a marked mile and back
again at an average speed of 301.33
miles nr. hour—faster than anything
has ever traveled on the ground before and within a whisker of the American airplane speed record. He broke
his previous record of 270.816 miles
an hour, and having reached his lifetime ambition of 300 miles an hour,
decided to return to London.

Roosevelt ordered an investigation
of the deaths of several hundred
World war veterans In the FERA
work relief camps on the Florida
keys to determine why precautions
were not taken to protect them
from the hurricane.
# Miami, Flq.—The Miami Bench Tribune In a copyrighted dispatch estimated 700 dead and 105 Injured In a hurricane.
The destruction of war veterans' construction- camps on the Florida keys,
some of them swept by high walls of
water rolling In from raging sens,
brought today rapidly Increasing fears
of a terrific deoth toll from the hurricane roaring over the gulf area.
The devastation was heaviest in the
camps of the veterans, engaged in
building' n highway down the keys to
Key West.
One of these camps was completely
demolished. Another was a mass of
wreckage. A rescue train, sent down
to the keys to bring back the veterans,
was reported wrecked.
This Information came from a coast
guard plane which surveyed the area.
Train Is Wrecked.
The message read:
"Veteran Camp No. 1 completely demolished. Train In upper Matecumbe
key. Engine Is only part left standing
on track. All cars overturned. All
buildings wrecked. Camp 5. on lower
Matecumbe key. only lumber wreckage."
Survivors at Camp No. 1. the construction site farthest to the north,
said the troin had passed through
there, intending to pick up the veterans there on the return trip.
Walls of water as high as 15 feet
poured continuously over these keys
for hours as the hurricane raged up
from the Atlantic, across the tip of
Florida and Into the gulf.
Once In the Gulf, the path of t h e
storm was northerly. It centered
to the west of Clearwater and
gales were expected by coast towns.
Everywhere, the hurricane warning
was out: Two square flags, red with
black centers, one flown above the
other. Ships were kept to port.
Washington.—The New Deal started
a drive to transfer nn average of 44.000 needy from relief rolls to federal
payrolls every day to end the dole
November 1 with Its $4,000,000,000 employment fund.
The administration's goal Is to put
3,500,000 persons to work. About 750,000 now are on Jobs, leaving 2,750,000
to be employed within 60 days.
Here are official results on the program to date:
Applications received, 6,416, totaling
$4,230,481,215.
Applications killed, 614, amounting

C*LORIDA was the victim of another
" terrific hurricane that swept up
from the Caribbean across the keys
nnd the southern end of the state,
then along the west coast and Into
Georgia. The total of fatalities was
uncertain but at this writing the number of dead Is estimated at more than
500. Of these perhaps 300 were war
veterans In labor camps on the keys
where they were employed In construction work. All buildings on many of
the keys were demolished and n relief
train that had been sent to take the
veterans away from the danger zone
was smashed to pieces. The survivors
on the Islands were without •shelter,
food and medical supplies, but relief
expeditions were quickly sent by the
Red Cross and other agencies.
The towns nlong the west coast reported extensive property damage but
few casualties.
Responding to assertions that the
great loss of life In the veterans' labor
camps was due to lack of preparation
against such a disaster, President
Roosevelt ordered a thorough investigation by Brig. Gen. Frank T. Hlnes,
administrator of veterans' affairs.
Harry Hopkins, head of the FERA
which set up the camps, also started an
Inquiry, and so did the American Legion. The atTalr promised to nttaln the
bad eminence of a national scandal.
Caught In the fury of the storm, the
Morgan liner Dixie, from New Orleans
for New York, was driven aground on
French reef, about 60 miles south of
Miami. Her passengers and crew,
numbering 372, were In great peril for
three days, bnt various steamers and
coast guard cutters rushed to the rescue In response to her SOS call and
a s soon as ^ind and seas abated
enough all were taken off the stranded vessel and conveyed to land, most
of them to Miami. Passengers on the
Dixie warmly praised the gallant
work of the ship's officers and crew.
At no time was there any panic
aboard the imperiled vessel, though
chances of rescue seemed very small.

ARON POMPBI ALOISI, cold and
sardonic, stood up before the
League of Nations council In Geneva
and presented Italy's case against
Ethiopia, denouncing
that empire as utterly
unworthy to be classed
with civilized c o u n tries. In addition to
his speech, he laid
before the council a
long, memorandum detailing the alleged conditions of slavery that
still prevail In Ethl0 P n nn(

trade. This memorandum was elaborately documented.
Addressing the council/ Alois! said
In part:
"Ethiopia, tal^ng advantage of her
position as a member of the League
of Nations, sheltered behind the treaty
of friendship concluded with Italy In
1028, has since that date multiplied
provocations, hostile demonstrations,
Incursions of pillagers, acts of brigandage, and violence against the
peaceful populations of our frontier.
"The Ethloplnn government does
nothing to make itself worthy of
belonging to the community of civilized nations. Even t o d a y ' t h a t country has to be represented by European advisers In o r d e r , t o make Its
voice heard In the League of Nations.
"The Italian government considers.
In these circumstances, that a state
such as Ethiopia cannot have either
equality of right or equality of duties
as compared with civilized states. To
claim that members of the league are
required to observe rules of the covenant In their relations with members
who have always and constantly been
outside those rules Is contrary to all
t h e principles of right and Justice.".
To the press correspondents the
baron vjas even more explicit "You
have heard the Italian thesis." he
said. "Thtft Is final. Italy has asked
nothing, not even the withdrawal of
Ethiopia frqm tho league. From now
on Italy will play a passive role here.
We are not going to discuss anything
with Ethiopia, but we will discuss
Ethiopia with the league.
"It Is up to the members of the
league council to decide whether they
want to expel Ethiopia or expel
Italy."
Ethiopia's reply to Italy was presented to the council by Prof. Gaston
Jeze, a Frenchman. He protested in
a dignified way against the brutal wording of tbe Italian statement and told
the council If It considered the expulsion of Ethiopia the league would he
setting a precedent of Judging member states according to the manner' in
which they conducted their internal
affairs. Some members might find this
dangerous, he said.
Jeze ended with a dramatic reminde r that time is pressing and this Is not
the moment for dilatory measures.
"The question Is whether there Is
danger of war, and whether there Is
danger of an early opening ot a* war
of extermination," he said. "That Is
t h e point to which the conncil ought to
direct its most serious attention."
The council adjourned to study the
Italian memorandum.
T X T H I L E the European statesman
were struggling with the ItaloEthloplan question. Secretary of State
Cordell Hull quietly took a hand In
the game. He did not
In any way Involve the
United States In the
wrangle, but he put an
end to the deal, whereby Haille Selassie was
giving a great development concession to
Americans. Officials of
the Standard-Vacuum
OU company went to
Mr. Hull's office and
M..11
admitted ownership of
the grant. The secretary admonished them that the concession hnd been "the cause of great
embarrassment not only to this government, but to other governments
who are making strenuous nnd sincere
efforts for the preservation of peace."
The oil men thereupon announced
their Intention of withdrawing from
the deal with Ethiopia, and the big
concession sensation was entirely deflated. The British government was
especially pleased with this outcome
ond felt deeply grateful to Secretarv
Hull.
D R E S I D E N T ROOSEVELT signed
* the congressional resolution of neutrallty, announcing that he approved
It because It Is "Intended ns an expression of the fixed desire of the
people of the United States to avoid
any action which might involve us in
war."
However, he made plain his objection to the Inflexible provisions of tbe
act, saying It was conceivable that
situations might arise In which these
might have "exactly the opposite effect
from that which was Intended." The
resolution calls upon the President to
place an embargo on the export of
"arms, ammunitions and Implements
of war" to all belligerents In the event
of war, and creates a national munitions control board. The application
of the arms embargo lasts only until
March 1, 1036.
\ / f O N T H L Y estimates of private
1Y1
forecasters are that, if there a r e
no serious frosts In September, the
corn crop of the country will be 2,231
million bushels. This Is 854 million
bushels larger than last season's harvest when the drought cut returns to 1,377 million bushels. When compared
with "normal" production this season's
Indicated crop Is moderately deficient.
In Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio the
crop Is In excellent condition and the
returns promise to be larger than appeared likely a month ago. The situation Is reversed In Kansas, South Dakota. and Nebraska. In Iowa, the biggest producing state, the prospects are
slightly less favorable than a month
ago.
The spring wheat crop was estimated at 155 million bushels. Using the
government's last estimate on the winter crop qf 432 million bushels, total
wheat production this year Is placed at
587 million bushels, nbout 40 million
bushels under average annual consumption in the United States.
Q E R A L D B. THORNE. chief of the
^
live stock and feed grains division
of AAA. says that In order to rectify
Inequities In 'corn-hog production It
has been decided to permit modification of the base production quotas.
The tentative plan Is:
Each county now has an aggregate
base production of corn and hogs
which will be left untouched.
Within the county liases, however,
machinery will be set up. largely
through county committees, by which
the bases can be altered.
Thus the farmer who planted less
than normal corn In 1032 and 1033
and has a low corn base can be given an Increased base. In the same
way the farmer who raised fewer hogs
for one reason or another In those
years than ordinary on a farm of that
size may get a larger hog base.
For these increases, however, there
will have to be corresponding adjustments downward for other farmers.
g A R L Y court tests of the Wagner
labor dlsputea act may be obtained,

with the new labor relations board
against two subsidiaries of General
Motors nnd the Portsmouth, Ohio, plant

complainants ore the United Automobile workers nnd the Amalgamated Association of Iron, Steel and Tin Workera They are represented by Charlton
Ogburn, counsel for the A. P. of L.,

C ENATOR GEORGE NORRIS of

former Democratic natlonnl comniltteeman for thnt state, are engaged In
a warm dispute that may cause considerable embarrassment for President
Roosevelt, friend of both men. Mullen
cnrrled to the White House a hot protest against a $20,000,000 power project which is sponsored by Norris. He
Is attorney for two $7,000,000 power
plnnts which already hnve been npproved by the PWA, and he asserts
there Is no field for the enormous
amount of electrical energy thnt would
be developed by the three projects,
and probably not enough water for ail
of them.
The first project approved by PWA
was nt Columbus, Neb., 80 miles west
of Omaha, and situated on the Loupe
river. The second wns on the Platte

In the rivalry between these two
