Laungh-Iris which; if was found by’ the’ court of in- quiry, was due to the vessel being Fammed by the Motor Boat Sis Agnes. The accident occurred on the night of December 14 last year, and on January 6 a board of in- guiry was appointed to go into the matter and make a complete and comprehensive investigation of the incident. The board was composed of the following: Master John G. Albury, of the Tender Poinciana; Master L. H. Muse, of the Tender Ivy; Master W. C. Banks, of the Tender Pop- py; Engineer George 1. Way, of the Tender Ivy. Sessions of the court weré’held each day, wit- nesses wet’ “examined, and on January 13’the board issued the following” réport: It “thaniimously finds and holds that the Motor Boat Sis Agnes was responsible for the damage and loss sustained by the government in the sinking of the Tris”. Superintendent William W. De- meritt, of the Seventh District, said yesterday that efforts have failed to recover the amount of less to the government, sustained by the sinking of the Iris, and has nothing to do with the private property damaged or lost on that oecasion. He concluded by saying that the papers would give the com- plete history of the accident, the report of the members of the court, and he expected the case would eventually reach the De- partment of Justice. secemerarer ser Temperature* WeaEEs a — 70 Highest _- .

By The AP Feature Service ROANOKE, Va:, March 12—A motorway sweeping 500 miles through Virginia and North Caro- lina is going to open a tourists’ Paradise within a day’s drive of neafly half the nation’s popula- tion one of these days. It will be known as the Blue Ridge Parkway and will connect two beauty spots, Shenandoah National- Park and the Great, Smokys National Park. When it’s done, some $30,000,000 will have been spent on the project. The two-lane ribbon of con- erete is being tailor-made for pleasure drivers. It will weave past forested mountain peaks, through wooded valleys, past quaint homes and farms and over picturesque streams. Along the way will be- built recreation camps, picnic grounds, and swim- ming pools. Footpaths and bridle paths will lead from it into s “ps of wood- land beauty. There won't be any het dog stands or unsightly bill- boards along the way. Work has been started and though some stretches are passa- ble for motor cars travel is not being encouraged. None of .the route is hard-surfaced yet and approaches to graded stretches are difficult to cover. This sum- mer a 59-mile and 47-mile stretch will be surfaced and reopened some time in the fall. The government is acquiring a Tight of way 825 feet wide—about 100 acres a mile. The states ac- auire the land and transfer it to the federal government. The parkway will be planted with flowering shrubs, the woods will be improved, provisions will be made for feeding and protecting game along -the route. Officials hope the stretch be- tween Roanoke and Ashville can be completed in three years. Building Inspector Harry M. Baker announces the issue during this week ending Friday of five building permits, which make a total of $12,900. The list of issues include per- mit to build a porch at 904 Duval street. Owner, Rese Walton; cost, $75. General repairs to buildings on Olivia street and Windsor Lane. Owner, G. Carleton; cost, $6,000. Repairs to roof at 700 White- head street. Owner, L.

The official figures are: Registrations: December. 1936. 1,069,837. Registrations: December, 1937 1,129,827. Which gives an increase during last year of 59,990—which aver- ages over 11,000 new registra- tions per week. When one re- members that many boys desir- ing to join cannot do so by rea- son of lack of men willing and able to serve as scoutmasters and ‘organize troops for such boys— one realizes the enoromus grip this splendid movement has upon the boyhood of this nation. Ob- viously—the Girl Scouts of Amer ica have made like progress. FRANCIS LEIGH.

S'eep Late If You Can, Psychologist Advises (Ry Axsoriated Press) CHICAGO, March 12. — That adage about the benefits of turn- | ing in early and rising early is better rhyme than reason, says Dr. Joseph Jastrow, psychologist. “There is absolutely no virtue in early rising,” Dr Jastrow writes in “Hygeia,” published by the American Medical Assgcia- tion. “What you need and crave is enough sleep to start the day right. If you don’t get refreshing sleep—which millions do not—no night is long enough for recovery. “The best you can do is to get all the sleep you can in the.morn- ing, fer you are then in the mest relaxed condition for sleeping— and to make it up during the day by as many naps as you can.” FIRE CHIEF’S NO. 13 NEVER ALARMS HIM (iy Associated Press) HAYNESVILLE, La., March 12. —Fire Chief Carl McEachern has proved he’s not superstitious.
