{ fee WITHOUT FATALITIES}: Ward Liner Strikes Bahaman Coral Reef; Only Death Is Caused by Apoplexy (Copyright, 1935, by the Associated Press) Miami, Fla, Jan. 7.—(4)—Ship- ‘wrecked passengers who went calmly to breakfast before braving a rough sea in lifeboats told a vivid story Mon- day of the grounding of the Ward bd Havana on a Bahaman coral reef. ‘The ship struck the reef early Sun- day while most of those on board were asleep, but the passengers arriving Monday on the freighter El Oceano said the impact when the liner ground- ed was so gentle that many were not awakened. Another rescue ship, the United Fruit steamer Peten, sped toward Havana with other passengers taken off the Havana. The El Oceano land- ed here with 38 of the 51 passengers on the ship's list and some of the crew, while the Peten carried 11 pas- sengers and members of the crew. One passenger, identified as Rob- ert Rittenhouse, of Brooklyn, N. Y., died of apoplexy in a lifeboat, the only known fatality. One other pas- senger was not placed in the incom- plete check, and Captain A. W. Peter- son of the Havana said a sailor was missing. Transfer Without Mishap ‘The transfer of the passengers to the El Oceano was carried out in heavy seas without mishap except for the swamping of one lifeboat which was struck by a large wave. A woman and her two children were swept into the water, but were saved by a sea- man. “I think most people aboard the Havana didn’t know what happened,” said T. E. Francis of (Longwood Tow- ers, Brookline) Boston, one of those Picked up by the El Oceano. “Although it had been raining, it was bright sunlight when the boats were swung over the side. I boarded the El Oceano absolutely dry.” Dr. Howard Fox, New York physic- ian said the first he knew of the ac- cident was when a steward came to his stateroom and awakened him. “After all was clear as to where we were to go in the event the ship was abandoned,” Dr. Fox said, “we went down to breakfast.” “The swamping of the lifeboat launched immediately ahead of ours was the only untoward incident of the whole episode.” Quartermaster Is Hero A quartermaster, Rayfield Horsch, of Cascade, Iowa, was pointed out for exceptional efforts on behalf of the passengers. Horsch was credited with rescuing Mrs, Sonia London of Mexico, D. F., and her two children, Fania, 2, and Elias, 9, after they had been swept into the sea from the swamped lifeboat. Music entertained the passengers as they waited to be taken from the stranded liner. With the passengers cleared Cap- tain Peterson remained aboard his ship. Eighty-three of the crew stay- ed with him. Captain Peterson sent a message to the coast guard late Sunday night that “all is well” aboard the stranded vessel. The Havana is waiting for a wrecking tug to free it from the reef. Coast guard craft stood by the liner, which was not in immediate danger. The ship was believed badly damaged however by the crash of the shoal, a dangerous spot. There was no im- mediate explanation of why the Ha- vana piled up on the reef. SHORTENED CODE OF SCHOOL LAWS ASKED Thompson Declares Problem of Simplization Should Be Taken Up by Solons A shorter and simplified code of school laws spon be drawn by the legislature at coming session, Arthur E, Thompson, superintendent of public instruction, declared Mon- cay. Present laws are inadequate, he as- buildings, he said. While many of the ills afflicting the schools today are the result of the depression, a number are caused by the system itself, he averred. “We need to take a long look at the whole system, and be courageous enough to i of science at Wabj available.” He pointed out that North Dakota are supported prin- dioal’ property. "Ninety ‘pet cent. of nal '. the cost comes from this source, he said. He proposed new revenue producing taxation, and supported a plan which would give Hazelton are the parents of a girl born at 11:50 a. m., Saturday at St. Alexius hospital.

In civil war times the North cried out “Abraham Lincoln, give us a man.” a Isn’t there a peace maker—a Henry Clay to get the two sides to agree to a compromise? That would be fairer than fighting, save the honor of both sides and be a good thing for the state. Why not ask Mr. Sinclair to serve as governor. There's a good man who should be acceptable to all If it should take a special election —go ahead—do it! Don’t you think it @ good idea? Respectfully, HUGH REDINGTON.

The effort to bar Moodie is based on an allegation of some- thing he did not do, Langer was disbarred for using the power which the people had conferred upon him to line his own pockets. The only way in which Sinclair could be made governor would be for the people to elect him and they already have elected one governor, Moodie, to serve during the next two years, Newspaper Campaign Resumed by Conoco Ponca City.

GEAR 10 Major Improvements An- nounced in New Line of Sixes and Eights Ten major improvements are an- nounced in the new line of Nash six and eight cylinder cars for 1935. They range from advanced body styling to @ newly proved system of spring sus- Pension, and their sum-total results in the strongest bid for public approval that Nash has ever made in its 18 years of manufacturing history. Power plants in both the six and eight are stepped up in horsepower; wheelbases are longer by 4 inches; an automatic cruising gear boosts top speed, at the same time reducing gas consumption, oil consumption and engine wear; springs are re-designed to gfve a smooth, untiring ride; steer- ing has been made easier; super-hy- draulic. brakes have been adopted; air wheels are standard equipment on all models; “mid-section” seating moves rear seat passengers forward in- to the “comfort zone”; the Aeroform body is not only comfortably roomy for six passengers, but is said to be the safest and strongest ever devel- oped for a motor car; and twin air- plane type ignition called “Flying Power,” assures unfailing starting, complete combustion which reduces gasoline consumption and increases speed and the practical elimination of crankcase oil dilution. Boasts Smart Curves The car is modeled in graceful and smart curves from front bumper to tail light; every inch streamlined for exactly the same manner as a modern airplane. The windshield slopes back at an angle of 33 degrees. The back Slopes at an angle of 35 degrees. The spare tire, together with the tool kit, is carried under the rear deck in a compartment where there also is Plenty of room for baggage. In changing a tire it is no longer necessary to disturb passengers in the car to get at the tools, and neither is it necessary to wrestle with the spare because it lies flat and can be released from its nest by unscrewing a large wing nut that can easily be | turned by hand. Turning their attention to passenger comfort, Nash engineers have done a | number of things to attain a smoother, {more pleasant ride. They lengthened the wheelbase 4 inches, and moved the motor forward over the front axle. | This automatically provided room to bring the back seat passengers for- the other side doing the same thing.|punchers on a ranch near here, ran North Dakota is @ great state but|down an eight-point buck while rid- ig the political quarrels go merrily |ing range and lassoed the animal. ward so they sit ahead of the rear jaxle instead of above it, and it also | redistributed the weight of the car so that it is exact balance front an¢ Tear instead of being heavier at om end than at the other. The new Nash springs were syn- chronized. Front springs were in- creased in length from 37 to 44 inches, spring “rates” have been made equa! and the result has been to give thr back-seat passenger a front seat ride Nash engineers made another big improvement. They fixed springs so they'll never need lubrication, and sealed them in live rubber to keep out Automatic Cruising Gear Still another feature contributing to passenger comfort is the automatic cruising gear which engineers have developed for the 1935 Nash. While one of its chief function is to give greater operating economy, by reduc- ing the engine speed without reducing car speed, it also benefits passenger comfort by eliminating much of the engine noise and vibration which is known to be a large factor in produc- fatl . a conirol button on the instrument panel will lock it out, and in this case the conventional transmission will go about its duties as if no cruising gear had been invented. Executives take pride in pointing out chassis features. Foremost among these is the twin (airplane type) igni- tion which is called, appropriately enough, Flying Power. Another thing emphasized is the seven main bearings in the Six, and nine main bearings in the Eight cy- clinder cars. : Because Nash is so proud of its “puilt-to-stay-built” reputation, there are any number of other “inside” facts to be learned. For instance, crank pins are hollow drilled in order to re- move about three tons of centrifugal load from main bearings. Aluminum pistons are used because, being lighter than cast iron, they permit quicker style, beauty, speed and economy, in| acceleration and dissipate heat faster. es cooling Me: MENTHOLATUM COMFORT Dail DR.
