HOOVER WILL HURRY BUILDING OF GANALS TS GOD'S PROMIS Assures Middle West St. Law- tence and Chicago-to-Guif Waterways Will Be Built ; PART OF. RELIEF PROGRAM Pictures World Argosies Dock- ing at Great Lakes Cities and New Empire Chicago, IL, April 11—()—Secre- | ti.ry of War James W. Good spoke his favor of the St. Lawrence waterway. in which Chicago would be the seat of a great “inland. seaway empire,” last night when he addressed the Chicago Sankers club. He brought assurance to the city end the m. .: west that the St. Lawrence project and the Chicago-to- the-Gulf system will be hastened with all possible speed by the Hoover ad- ministration. “There must be no unnecessary de- lays in building the waterway.” he declared, “ar: the program must be 4 carried forward as rapi'y ac appro- priations from congres: will justify. The great middle west is profoundly im earnest about the plan and will hot be denied.” He declared that the administra- tiun is committed to an early com- pletion, adding his vision of the waterway projects as an integral part ia the farm relief program. M is the destined and in- evitable gravity center of this mid- continental empire,” he said, in term- ir; the projects an insurance «f pros- perity for the city and the middle west..“The forces of nature designated this site for our inland metropolis. The ice age proviged channels by water; the steam age supziemented them with roadways of steam.” The cost cf the project, he stated, will be multiply returned in freight savings and resulting industrial stim- , vison, He quoted the report of the joint board of engineers that the waterway can be provided for by from $174,000,000 to $189,000,000, assuming that power :nterests bear the cost of , Works built specifically for them and ** nalf the cost of work built jointly for power and navigation. ‘The savings already effected by waterway development — $600,000,000 annually in freight bills in river and harbor improvements and $200,00,000 in Great Lakes improvements—were termed paltry compared with the fu- ture when the world argosies dock at Great Lakes citi:3 and the Mississippi b:ars increased burdens. Railroads, the secretary said, will be benefited in turn by the enlarged ‘ational prosperity that will follow. _AYOUNG AMERICANS END ADVENTURES AS SOLDIERS IN MEXICO Abducted and Sentenced to Death by Rebels, Two Get Reprieve and Return El Paso, Texas, April 11.—()—Four soung Americans who went to war with the Mexican insurrectos today adventures Two of. the adventurers, 8.

SOUTHERN CROSS IS |f STILL HUNT OBJECT Seaplane Carrier With Five Ships Aboard Ordered to Australian West Coast Sydney, N. 8. W., April 11.—(P)— | ‘The Australian seaplane carrier Alba- tross, with five planes aboard, was ordered today to participate in the search for Captain Charles Kings- ford-Smith and his three companions of the missing Southern Cross. The Albatross was expected to leave for Wyndham almost imme- diately, but so great is the distance around the eastern and northern coast of Australia that it could hardly arrive inside of a week. Grave fears are now expressed for the safety of the rescue plane manned by Lieutenant Keith Anderson and Robert Hitchcock. The two flyers started from here Sunday in a West- land Widgeon monoplane and have not been heard from since they left Newcastle waters, northern territory, about 400 miles from Wyndham. Directors of the search for the Southern. Cross flyers have now de- tor the men. Friends of the aviators, who dropped out of sight 11 days ago on a flight from Sydney to Wyndham, found considerable hope for their safety in the government’s statement that’ chances for their having sur- vived their-forced landing were good “if they landed safely.” ‘The official search was put under | by the direction of Colcnel Mansbridge, | ley. resident magistrate at Broome, he has gone to Derby to direct oper- ations from there. : i i : : 4 plans for : hd : the was and. they’ were married. the. the’ & Hi Hi ub 4% 8 LITTLE JOE BIEAMIST BRIDE is WELL GROOMED.

S. Three Creat Political Parties, Tory, Liberal and Labor, Enlist. Ladies London, April 11—(NEA)—When the voters of Great Britain go to the polls this spring to choose their mem- bers in the House of Commons, and thereby automatically decide which party shall form the cabinet and the ent, a quiet and bloodless revolution. will have been sccom- plished—one of the greatest and most striking in all"the history of democ- racies. : For with the exception of some 52 constituents out of a total of 591, from southern England up through Wales and Scotland, the women voters will outnumber the men. If they turn out to their full strength, Great Britain will be a woman-ruled country so far as voting gozs. The whole situation {s in striking contrast to the one in the United States. When America decided to give women the vote, it gave it to all of them on the same terms as the man. Every American citizen 21 years of age, regardless of sex, had the right to the ballot. ‘Flapper Vote’ Reversed In England, where the fight was far longer and more bitter, only a halfway measure was adopted. Wom- en had to be at least 30 before they got the vote. They had to have cer- tain residential and proporty qualifi- cations. \ Even so, the voting list was enorm- ously increased, but only in four co stituencies did the women possess & majority. But last year, yielding tc enormous political pressure, Parlia- ment passed a law giving the fran- chise to all women over 21. The die- hards bitterly opposed it. Lord Roth- ermere and his powerful string of pa- pers fought what they called the flap- per vote and warned the Tory party that they were digging their own atk waite H é sa i et [; i i Rrailel asl RULED BY WOMEN and Glasgow, the Tories expect the added woman vote to help them.
