SAVE TYBEE ISLE FROM HIGH WAVES Years of Efort by Islanders Prove Successful Tybee Island, Ga., Nov. 30 UM— Years of effort on the part of resl- dents of Tybee Island to harness their ever shifting coast line ap- parently have met with success. Today, the waves, which in the past swept away as much as 30 feet of beach during one storm them- aelves are contributing to a heavy wall, which it is thought will not only check further erosion, but will restore much of the land which has already been lost. 8o encouraging is the outlook that many property owners who saw their summer homes gradually washed away and their land sub- merged, continue to pay $1 a year taxes in order to have clear title in case the land should return. ‘The change was accomplished by means of huge *“mattresses,” built along the coast, plus heavy piers, constructed at right angles far out into the water. These “mattresses” are heavy wire entanglements, some 2,000 feet long, which are built at intervals along the coast. Iirst the sand is dug out until a solid base is reached, and then wire is stretch- ed and attached to heavy piles. Back of this wire are placed heavy brush- wood, rocks and other debris, thou sands of pgunds, to withstand the lashing of the waves. Thus with each sweep of water the sand carrled in filters througna the heavy brush and rock bed, anu in time becomes hardened like stone. The plan for combating the sea ‘was worked out by raidroad engin- eers with the aid of city and county officials. Delegates from Tybee to the annual meeting of the American Shore and Beach Preservation asso- ciation at Wilmington, Del., Novem- ber 26 and 27 will describe the plan for the benefit of other Atlantic sea- hoard resorts and 4owns who have to battle encroachments of the sea. Hoover to See King Neptune at Sea Today U. 8. 8. Maryland, en route to Guayaquil, Ecuador, Nov. 30 (P — Rising from the sca with his royal court King Neptune today took charge of this goodwill ship as it crossed the equator.

President-elect Hoover, shellback of shellbacks,! who was crossing for the 15th time with Mrs. Hoover, and Ambassador Fletcher, who has wit- nessed many an initiation, watched the ceremony from a special plat- form built on a forward turret.

FENGE 600 MILES LONG IS PLANNED Growing Sentiment gainst II- legal Movements Fort Worth, Texa ov. 30 (A— Growing sentiment of Texas ranch- men against illegal movements of tick-infested cattle into the United States from Mexico may result in a demand that the government bullg what would be the world’s longest fence, a 600-mile barrier, along the Rio Grande from Brownsville to Det Rio. This stretch of wire is favored by Carroll Drew, chief inspector ot tick eradication for the livestock sanitary commission of Texas. The paln was suggested by the erection of a fence between California anw Mexico when tick eradication was problem in the far western state several years ago. Declaring a strong fence shouln be built and patrolled by the fed eral governmient, Drew points out that between Brownsville and Del Rio there are nine counties, ana he rays none can combat the live- stock menace unless a_united from, is thrown up against Mexican cat- tle and horses. Animals often stray across the Rio Grande and others are smug- gled into this country. Burros and ponies used in running liquor across the border also are helieved to be & source of tick infection.

CURB AND BOND MARKET ACTION Former Sulfers Break While Latter Rises Higher York, Nov. 30 (®—A still olent session than the curb has ever experienced was marked today by a sharp break in Canadian Marconi, which caused a temporary suspension of trading in the issue while specialists straight- ened out their records. The issue opened with a block of £6,000 shares at 27 5-8, up 5, in con- trast to the year's low of 3. It was an hour after the opening before the opening price was decided upon. The issue was later sold heavily, up- on publication of a statement by Sir Joseph Iflavelle, chairman of the board, that he considered that it was selling too high. It had fallen 1o 16 when the trading was suspend- jed after midday. New New York, Nov. 30 (®—Utilities and a few coppers led the advance of hond market prices to higher tevels in today's early trading. There was some buying also of railroads.

GIFT BY AMERICAN STARTLES MANISSA Excitement Prevails in Ancient Turkish Town Manissa, Turkey, Nov. 30 (®—Iu | this Anatolian town excitement pre- vails again today, as it did back In 0 B, C., when Scipio here worsted | King Antiochus, and again in 1419, when the Arab Bedreddin raised an | insurrection against the Turkish sul- tans with his doctrine of equallty and communtiy of goods. The quietude~has been broken by a cable dispatch from America stat- ing that Morrls Chinassi, who emi- grated from Manisso to New York 35 years ago, there to become wealthy cigaret manufacturer, has willed a million dollars for a hos- pital in his home town. The 25,000 inhablants of Manissa say their is the first town in Turkey to produce an American millionaire and theirs will be the first to boast of a million dollar hospital. Chinassi's gift ranks in Turkish peasants’ eyes as a wonder, exceed- ing the ancient treasures Manissa has held through the ages. Just out- | side the town, in a rock of 70 feet above the road, the ancients cut a colossal statue of Niobe, whose tears, | supplied by a hidden inexhaustible ’qrrmg:flm\'e the rock, fall over the aged stone face to this day. This is the Niobe of Homer's lines: “Upon arid Sipylus, upon the rocks of the desert mountain—Niobe, though turned to stone, still broods over the sorrows the Gods have sent upon her." | Gone is the fabulous ball of gold weighing more than 200 pounds which for centuries topped the min- aret of one of Manissa's great mos- ques, but in the mosque library there is still to be found a massive manus- cript collection of the Pentateuch |dating from 630 A. D. Nobody knows where this manuscript came from or how it reached Manissa. The new million-dollar hospital will have only one competitor. That in the ancient tomb of the one-time Prince of Manissa, Isaac Tchelebt, beenath the columns of which soms ailing Magnesians believe they neew only three turns to he cured. 305 ARRESTS IN NOVEMBER There were 305 arrests made in this city during the month ending toda; according to Chiet W.
