He cannot see much and relies upon

Tells why a corn is so

Press an electric button and you

Instead of trimming your corns

just step into any drug store and

PART OF AMERICAN
GUN CREW MISSING
Captain of Oil Ship Vacuum
and Naval Lieutenant
Probably Drowned.
SOME SURVIVORS LAND

Washington, May 1.--First official
news of the submarine destruction of
the American tanker Vacuum, with
the loss OF some Of the American gun
crew, was received today by the gov
eminent.
Consul General Skinner, at Lon
don, reporting the destruction OF the
ship. confirmed that Lieutenant
Thomas, commander OF the naval gun
crew. some Of his men, Captain Har-
ris and some of his crew still are
missing and probably lost.
Seventeen OF the ships crew and
three OF the naval gunners, all in one
boat, were rescued.
Pending receipt OF more detailed
official information, the Navy de-
partment will not make public the
names of the gun crew. ....
Partial List Of Survivors.
London, May 1.-The survivors OF
the American oil tank steamer
Vacuum, who will arrive in Liverpool
at midnight, include Robert Williams.
Oscar Gales, w. Lundgren. A. Byl

The following are other survivors
who have been landed:

1t is not believed here that the miss
ing gunners were taken prisoner, al
though it is possible that the master
lieutenant may have been taken
aboard the submarine. The whole
crew Of the gunncrs, however, would
have been too many prisoners to be
comfortably accommodated on sub
marine.
The probability is hat the missing
boatload was lost, as life boats Of the
size carried by the Vacuum, according
to naval men, would have been over
loaded with more than dozen men
on board,

the governor, "and there is no rea-
son they should not be set by con-
gress."
"The farmer" Governor Frazier
said, has produced less in the last
few years because he has not been
getting a living wage and he has
often sold his product at a loss"
Preventing speculation, he said, was
not easy, but he believed congress
might do it.

IMPLEMENT MEN REPORT

Chicago, ILL.,. May members Of
the special committee recently ap-
pointed by the National Implement
and Vehicle association to cooperate
with the federal government in the
movement to increase this country's
food production met here today and
issued a statement declaring the sue
cess Of the campaign will be leopard
lied because OF a shortage of farm
implements due TO the inability Of i'm
plement manufacturers to obtain but
rs per cent of the sheet steel needed
to supply the normal demand of the
farmers this year.
The statement says the farm imple-
ment manufacturers have practically
no stock on hand and that thousands
of farmers in recent years have al
lowed their equipment to deteriorate
to such an extent that many imple-
ments cannot be used without re-
pairs.
The implement manufacturers de-
clare they were compelled to appeal
to the federal government recently in
order to obtain rs per cent OF their
normal annual supply.
