The forced landing, 20 miles from here, last night, with the last drop of gasoline gone, damaged the pro- pellor of the plane “Justice to Hun- gary,” and also one wing. Neither of the pilots were injured. The flight across the Atlantic and Euro- pean mainland was made in just a little over 26 hours for the 3,229 miles. | Endres and Maygar said they saw | very little of the ocean as it was covered with blankets of fog.

C, July 17— Death at Bar Harbor, Maine, of Mrs. Mary F. Henderson, took from Washington's social life one of its most unusual characters. Mrs. Henderson, wealthy and 90- year-old dowager, - was known as the “Empress of Sixteenth Street.” She dwelled for 52 years in the huge brown stone walled-in man- sion known. as the “Henderson Castle,” on the fashionable thor- oughfare. She was the widow of the late Senator John Brook Henderson, of Missourt, a friend of Lincoln. She enjoyed the friendship or personal acquaintance of 15 Presi- dents. Her husband died in 1913. Panama Canal’s Tolls Now Total Quarter of a-Billibn BALBOA, P. C. Z, July 17.—2 faint smoke smudge appears on thc horizon of the Gulf of Panama; out of it emerge the lines of a ship loaded to the waterline, making for the Pacific entrance to the Panama Canal. She may be a whaler ¢oming in over the 7,500-mile stretch from Australia or a freighter from Shanghai loaded with hemp and hair; she may bring coconut oil from the Philippines or nitrates from South America’s West Coast. Since Uncle Sam opened the Panama Canal to traffic on August 15, 1914, some 65,000 vessels have passed through its gates and locks. Its narrow ribbon of water has borne approximately 300,000,000 tons of cargo—almost every article known to man from all parts of the world. Big Intercoastal Trade These vessels have paid tolls amounting to more t] a quar- ter of a billion dollars. Open to ships from all the world, the Pan- ama Canal remains predominantly a North American/ institution. A third of its total c: ) is composed of shipments in Unit States in- tercoastal trade. - More than twe. thirds of the canal jcargo travels from west to east, owing to a_preponderance of bulk carried in this.direction.

The youthful ones, according to a survey by the Boys’ Club Federa- tion of America, have little appre- ciation for classical music. They prefer jazz. Night programs consisting of much music and little talking are popular. Boys object to speeches— they say they hear all the talking they want in school. “M ag ’”kennedy IsinM ix-Up Look at the above picture, taken at Seattle several weeks ago, of G. E.

C, July 17— A further drop in both payrolls and employment is reported for June by the Bureau of Labor sta- tisties. One set of figures, representing 15 major industrial groups, showed employment dropped two per cent and payrolls 45 per cent, compared to the previous month. Another set, based on manufact- uring industries, gave a 2.6 per cent slump in employment and 6.2 per cent drop on payrolls but if history repeats itself, the business depres- sion will soon relinquish its crush- ing grip on the country. ‘The Economics Bureau of the De- partment of Agriculture said it found tracing of similarities in past depression periods. The periods of 1878, 1895, 1914 and 1931 are analogus, thus it is added, revival of business in the near future is indicated. —————— 2 ARE FOUND DEAD BESIDE JUG OF WINE Woman Believed to Have Killed Boarder, then Taken Own Life PORTLAND, Oregon, July 17— Both dead from bullet wounds, the bodies of Mrs. Eddie Fuller, aged 54, and Gus Johnson, aged 40, were found in the basement of Mrs. Fuller's home today.

Jeanette, aged 34, of Ju- peal, Alaska, and Mary Urlin, aged | 21, of Seattle, NORBECK MAKES FINE TALK TO LOCAL CHAMBER [In Impromblu Talk Sym- pathizes with Alaskans in Their Problems Alaska’s problems, its difficulties, are not so greatly different from those of other sections of the Unit- ed States, and its most common complaint, “lack of understanding,” | 8 heard in all parts of the land, | the Chamber of Commerce was told today by Senator ter Nor- beck, South Dakota Republjcan, who was the honor guest of the local organization. | Admitting a lack of knowledge of Alacka and its resources and de- clinin gto express any opinion upon any local subject, he closed his| talk by saying: *“You have. no comprehension of the revenue that is going to come to you from the tourist business when Alaska is| understood.” Here To Learn His mission, he indicated, is to learn as much as possible about Alaska’s wild life and other re- sources as is possible in the 30 days he will spend in the Terri- tory. Some people think that a United States Senator ought to know everything, but he doesn't, the South Dakota solon remarked drily. “A certificate of election is no additional qualification,” he added. Pleading unfamiliarity with mas-} ka, he declined to express any | opinion in advance of his 30-day study. And even at the end of that time he doesn't expect to, be able to qualify as an expert on the north. As he phrased it, he has spent a lifetime in South Dakota and is just beginning to get ac- quainted with it and he doesn't see any reasom why he should be expected to diagnose Alaska's ills and cure them in a month’s stay. largely spent in travel. Similarity of Resources There is some similarity in the resources of Alaska and South Da- kota, he pointed out. Although the latter is largely an agricultural state, it has mountains, its famous Homestake mine which has pro- duced more than $260,000,000 in gold since it was purchased for $75,000 by the father of William R, Hearst | and still has a long life ahead ‘of it. His State produces some $8,- 500,000 annually in gold. It has its forests and it fought the movement to put them under Federal control as an unwarranted piece of interference with State government. “But as we look back we are at least partly reconciled to it, since it has resulted in the preservation of the forests,” he sald. It was probably the wise mid- dle ground. Mistakes in Government Alaska’s plaint about mistakes made under a government so far away as Washington has been heard in other times and other Territor- tories. He, himself, born and rear- ed in Dakota Territory heard and voiced the same complaint. And they are true now as then. “But when we got self-govern- ment we found we, too, made mis- takes,” he declared. And this will be Alaska's experience. There are two distinct views of conservation, he’ declared. In the West where the resources have not passed into private hands, it is a live question. And in the East, where the domain of the public and the resources on it are pri- vately owned, it is equally alive. From the latter comes the demand for conservation. And that's usually the case. ‘Where one doesn't possess a thing, he wants the one who does pre- serve it. Lack of Understanding The most common complaint of all, is that “we are not understood. | Most of all our troubles are caused | by lack of understanding. “And this, he added, would continue. It can only be eradicated by educa- tion and time is required for that. “This nation is a new experiment— an effort to govern a continent from one center.” Within its lim- its there are many intra-state con- flicts. Ignorance is still abundant regarding every section. . lAlaska is not in a class by itself in that respect. It is common to many. Sometimes it seems useless to appeal to people who don't un- derstand and haven’t the time to make the effort. It is, however, a question of maintenance of educa- tion until a majority of the people do understand. The people of any section of the United States are not more unfair than those in any other section, and can be depended on to be fair and reasonable when they under- U. S.
