Loveslek Maori Maiden Credited With
Devisina Those Valuable Aids
to Weak svimmera

Water wings were invented by a Ma
orr maiden hundreds Of years before
the British conquered these New Zeal

which she dashed together with strands
OF flax, putting the flashing under her
chest. with gourd behind each arm.
Thus equipped. she swan four miles
to meet her lover who was not In fav-
OF with her father.
The romantic story Is pretty one.
1utanekai's mother was the beautl
ful Rangl-uru. wife of Whakane- kali
whakane tribe. His father was a
home wrecker, the soft-spoken glib
longued Tu-whare-toa, who had per
suaded Rangi-uru to run away with
bin. Later she repented and returned
10 her husband, who forgave her. He
took her child into the family and
moved to another neighborhood. so
that the family would escape gossip.
In this district Tutanekai grew into
an Apollo OF manhood and Il regular
Solomon In wisdom. but the stigma
Of his birth followed him. He fell In
love with Hine-Moa. but her father re-
fused his consent TO the marriage. The
lovers were kept apart, while the girls

desperation. Hine-Moa planned 10

ing into the water decided to make

ON TRACK OF VAST TREASURE
Circumstances Indicate Probability

Whether AsIa's most famous treas

WR|GLEY FLYERS
 KEEP THEIR WORD
Air Teams With Weird Stunts of Spearmint Avia-
 tOrs-Here for Week

Like bat in a bedroom, one of the Wrigley flyers buzzed about the Birming- ham skyscrapers yesterday afternoon.
 He went past the windows of the Tut wiler hotel so close the curtains waved. and moment later guests and maids were craning out to see if it was tie Angel Gabriel
 With Spearmint chewing gum packages fluttering through the air and two fly ing machines throwing flip-flaps over the business section, business, to say the least, paused.
 They came so close to earth that even the animals saw and took notice. One with his ears semaphoring, refused to work until the purr of the aviator's motor had passed from hearing.
 A fox terrier pranced in frantic ex- tacy, chattering at the gray shadow that fitted over the street, then seeing
 the machine. dived for cellar and hasn't been seen since
 Jack Hammond, MT. Wrigley's master of ceremonies, promised some fanny stunts when the flyers got to Birming- ham, but he was speaking with dignified
 conservatism compared to what Nimmo i Black, Elmer Partridge and Paul Mill ner are really doing.
 ! What with masticating the juicy gum and walking with chin skyward, local Adams apples were sliding up and down yesterday like express elevators in the Empire building.
 Finally the stunts got on Judge Charlie
 Mandy's> nerves and he put in bid for a trip.
 Newspaper man want to go up?" so- ! liauized MT. Hammond; that's our mid dle name: more publicity. We'll take him and if there is any dignity left ir him when we get through you won't bt able to find it with microscope. 1 So Judge Charlie is going up today some time about 4 o'clock in the after noon His friends are urged to squeeze for him, because he is going have 2 | witches ride that he will remember al | of his life.
 1 Between noon and l o'clock the flyers will spend most of their time over Capi tol park, and spectators who are pres ent will get an eyeful, weather permit ting, that will make the trick work the Bessemer folk saw yesterday seen tame.

VALUE OF COTTON

Mir. Conner. Mr. President, 1 have here a clipping from an article being issued by MT. Calvin, who purports to be chairman of sundry farming com- mittees. I desire to read from the clip pins. as follows:
 This is a bad time to be experiment. ing. Cotton has reached and main- tained good price under the present system. and it seems to me that it would be unwise to tamper with it at this time"
 Mir President, I should like to know what that has to do with the price of cotton at this time. In my opinion, it has nothing whatever to do with it.
 "If the amendment should be enacted into law and the price should undergo a heavy decline it would be a hard matter to convince the farmers that the amendment was not responsible for it.''
 l should like to know how that could possibly be.
 There is an old saying that we should let well enough alone, which seems to apply with added emphasis in this case at this time"
 That Is always the statement made by the fellow who wants to keepNwhat he has got.
 "As above stated, I do not know how the board as whole which I represent stands on this matter, and I do not think that they should come to any conclusion without thorough investi- gation, for it is a matter of far-reach- : Ing importance to the cotton farmers and not one to be passed upon in a su- perficial manner"
 This matter has been discussed for several years, backward and forward in the effort to get a satisfactory solu tion; in other words in the effort to get the exchange price equal to the commercial price.
 q am of the opinion that the mem bers of the board would prefer to let well enough alone and not tamper with proposition that might have dynamite in it."
 That is exactly like an exchange ora tor discussing the question; such ora tors always endeavor to scare you with the charge that there is dynamite in the proposition.
 T am also of the opinion that this will be the attitude of an overwhelm- ing majority of the cotton growers"
 That is his opinion, which he is cir culating here broadcast amongst the members.
 q sincerely trust that the conference committee can see it's way clear to take the amendment out of the agri cultural appropriation bill, and if, as above stated, there are those who think this legislation wise and expedient let them introduce a bill in due form and give all interested parties an ann pie opportunity to be heard, and if such a bill has merit Congress will no doubt enact it into q law"
 The amendment was put on the agri- cultural bill because when l first came here the agricultural bill was before the Senate, and the matter had to be taken care of then or not at all. There was not time to introduce new bill and put it through, so that it had to be done at that time.
 The three last sections of F. A. Cal wins circular letter of March 29 in tho interest of the cotton exchanges, and sent to all representatives, House and Senate.
 MT Calvin proposes to be the Wash ington representative of the cotton states official advisory marketing board4 but judging from his letter he could not better represent the gam blers on the cotton exchanges"
