This can be most effectively used by building 10,000-ton 6-inch cruisers and placing landing decks and aircraft aboard them.” He warned that it was “most im- portant that no nation violate the spirit the treaty by turning a cruiser into n aircraft carrier, so that cruisers must be essentially and primarily cruisers and mot aircraft carrier: CHICAGO MILLIONAIRE FOUND DEAD IN CABIN Soren Heiberg Is Shot, but Eriends Are Unable to Say Whether Suicife or Accidental. By the Assoclated Press. HIBBING, Minn, July 30.—Soren ‘Hetberg, 56, Chicago millionaire, was found dead Sunday in his cabin on an island in Wasson Lake, between Cole- raine and Big Fork. Word of the death in the remote section of the North ‘Woods was brought here yesterday. Mr. Heiberg had been shot. but his friends were unable to say whether it was accidental or whether he had com- mitted suicide. One theory advanced by friends was that Mr. Heiberg had been shot accidentally while cleaning his gun. The Chicago man was president of the Soren Heiberg Sirup Co., which had factories in the United States and Den- mark. He spent most of his Summers in his home on the island, and it was one of the show places of that section. He is survived by a widow and three children, who live in Denmark, and a son, William, of chlcag , Who came here yesterday to take the body back to that €ity for interment. 3 —_— ICELAND WANTS RULE Demonstrators Pull Down Danish Flag From Parliament House.

Flaming Column in Texas Field. By the Associated Press. REFUGIO, Tex., July 30.—"Tex" Thornton, nitrogycerin _expert and jouster extraordinary with burning oil wells, has been summoned to pit his skill against a wild gasser which since Saturday has shot skyward a 100-foot column of roaring flames. Thornton arrived Monday night from Amarillo with his crew and immediate- ly began preparations to tame the wild blaze, a task at which other oil men have failed. Heavy galvanized guards were con- structed to permit Thornton and his crew to go closer to the blaze, and a large pit near the 20-foot crater blasted by exploding gas was filled with water to be released into the well. Several hundred residents have left the vicinity of the fire after three build- ings were destroyed. Derricks and other equipment have been moved away from the burning well and several near- by houses torn down. ‘Wales on Air Flight to Brussels.

THE Boy BEHIND THE BISCUIT Ever see a boy behind a Shredded Wheat Biscuit? You will have to look quick before the biscuit disappears— but wait and you will see him take another biscuit—and more milk. The more he chews the crisp shreds of baked whole wheat, the more he likes it—and that’s the reason he is a real boy, full of bounding energy and radi- ant health. Just as good for grown-ups. Delicious with prunes, baked apples, sliced bananas or any fruit.
