sUPERPHospHATE AN AID

The use of superphosphate and
barnyard manure has been dem

most effective fertilizers on soils
in Thurston county, according to
demonstrations put on in different
parts of hat district by e. B.
Stookey, county agent.
One of the demonstrations is on
the L. M. Goldsmith farm, near
Yelm, and consists of two main
plots. He got an increased yield
from one of the small plots treat
ed with superphosphate over a
similar plot adjoining which had
been cultivated but not fortified.
In three years the fortified plot
has maintained consistent lead
over the other one, and this seas
on shows a difference of Al %. The
same comparative increase is
shown where superphosphate is

SAN DIEGO, Calf, June 20
Captain Lowell H. Smith and Lieut..
John B. Richter narrowly escaped
death early today when in forced

over at Rockwell field.
The machine was badly damaged
but the two intrepid .aYiators who
had been in the air for almost
twenty-four hours, crawled out viz

A damaged crankshaft caused the
forced landing and abandonment of
the attempt to fly 100 hours. with
out pause. The landing was made
just six minutes short of twenty-four
hours after the plane had taken off
yesterday in its record-making at
tempt.
The plane came down with honors
though, as the $500 kilometer. 5000
and $500 kilometer records are be-
lieved to have been broken for speed
and possibly others. Those records
were held by Lieutenants MacReady
and Kelly, having been hung up at
Dayton, Ohio, in the T2 last fall.
The forced landing was made on
the mud flats near North Island.

It was the second time an acci-

Situation Over Rum
Seizure Regarded AS
Serious By British
By DAVID NJ. CHURCH.
International News Service Staff
CORRESPONDENT,

LONDON, June authorizations
by British statesmen in the House
Of Lords put a more serious aspect
today upon the Anglo-American
controversy over liquor seizures by
American customs officials from
English ships in United States
home waters.
Lord CurZon's statement on the
liquor question was interpreted as
an indication that British public
opinion will not permit any great
concessions"
This was followed by q statement
from Viscount Grey, ex-foreign sec.
rotary, who fears Anglo-American
friction, perhaps Of a serious ma.
ture, unless the two governments
hasten a settlement of the dry
issue.
1t was revealed through official
channels that Great Britain will not
accept Washington suggestion for
a tWelve-mile limit for search Of
ships suspected Of liquor smuggling.
New diplomatic representations are
being made to the United States
upon this subject.
Lord CurZon holds that the con
troversy should be left entirely to
formal diplomacy for settlement.
A parliamentary committee Is
now studying the problem Of al
legged liquor smuggling from Great
Britain to American territorial
waters. Vigorous steps may be
taken to stop It, In this event
Great Britain will expect con
cessions from America in regard
to beverage liquor on passenger
carrying liners. especially where
such liquor is taken into American
ports under seal as a pledge it will
| not be drunk nor taken ashore
while the vessels are in American
territorial waters.
1t was learned semi -officially that
the committee headed by Chairman
| MacNeill, which is investigation al
legged whiskey smuggling from Great
Britain to America, will not con
slider any retaliatory measures fol
the liquor seizures from English
| liners at New York.
The Times in an editorial today
said: There is no call upon us tc
assist the American authorities in
| the enforcement of prohibition, bu1
it certainly is not to our credit thai
