MRS. SPERRY HOPEFUL
Wife of Missing Aviator Says She
Feels Certain Her Husband VIII
Turn Up Safely.

Hampstead, N. T., Dec. 14.--Mrs.
Winifred Sperry refuses to believe
that her husband, Lawrence B.

wrecked plane was found yesterday.
mr.. Sperry has been through so
many things that / don't believe any,
thing serious has happened to him."
she said today at her home. Il be-
lieve if anything had happened, /
would have had some presentiment
of it,
IF, after his plane fell into the
water, he came to some little vii
lage, news of him would not reach
London until after the story of the
accident had arrived l feel that he
is safe somewhere
New York, Dec. 14.-Belief that
Lawrence B. Sperry. American avn
ator whose plane was found in the
English channel, might have swum
ashore, was expressed today by his
friends at the Brooklyn plant of the
Sperry Gyroscope company, owned by
his father.
Lawrence was always prepared
and never took chances" said C. o.
Jobson. HE was a strong swimmer
and had trained in aquatic sports for
just such an emergency"
Friends pointed out that the find
ing of Sperry's jacket in the water
indicated he had discarded it SO that
his movements in the water would
not be impeded.
New York. Dec. 1.-the tiny air
plane in which Lawrence B. Sperry
is believed to have fallen to his
death in the English channel car
ried only enough gasoline. for
fight of two and one-half hours.

feet, 1 inches; was 1914 feet long and

CANADA BARS u. S.
SHIPS FROM PORTS
Rules Fishing Craft Can Enter
Il Only for Shelter, Fuel
or Water.

BY a Canadian government order
just issued. American fishing vessels
after December 81 will be unable to
enter Canadian harbors except in
emergency.
Though Commerce Department Of
ficials through whom notices of the
step are being circulated. have no di-
rect knowledge of the reasons. II is
understood that the Canadian govern
ment desires to retaliate against
United States tariff restrictions which
are found Objectionable to Canadians,
During recent years American fish
ing vessels have had practically un
limited rights of entry to Canadian
ports from the fishing grounds in the
north Atlantic. Under the new regu-
lations they can enter only for shell
ter, for repairing damages, purchas-
ing wool and obtaining water. and for
no other purpose whatsoever"
The list of these emergency condi-
tions to which right of entry is re-
stricted grows out of strict applica-
tion of the fishing treaty of 1918 be-
tween Great Britain and the United
States

adopted into normal homes. The proc

crosses in her heroic and successful
struggle toward self-sustenance. We

of US children would be doomed and

U.S.PARK PROPOSED
IN APPALACH|ANS

Setting aside of a typical section Of
the Appalachian range as a national
park and establishment of additional
national parks east of the Mississippi
river are recommended in the annual
report of the director Of the national
park service, just made public.
An untouched section of the Ever
glades of Florida also is suggested as
being of national park Importance,
while the Mammoth cave area in
kentucky is regarded as a remote
possibility for national park.
A super-scenery survey of the en-
tire country, to be maze by a COM
mittee of nationally known men.
under the direction of the Secretary
of the Interior In cooperation with
the various states, is recommended.
Such a committee, the director said,
should consider the established prin-
ciples of national park creation

Needs for Parks.
National parks" the director says,
must continue to constitute areas
containing scenery of supreme and
distinctive quality or some natural
feature so extraordinary or unique as
tance as distinguished from merely
local interest.
The national park system as now
constituted must not be lowered in
standard. dignity and prestige by the
inclusion of areas which express in
ticular class or kind of exhibit which
they represent; distinguished -ex-
amples of particular forms of world
architecture, such, for instance. as
the Grand Canyon of the Colorado, as
exemplifying the highest accomplish
ment Of stream erosion. or the sequoia
as representing the highest form of
accomplishment In natural tree
growth, the wonderful sequoia gigan-
tea. or the Yellowstone as containing
world. or the rugged portions of the
Lafayette National Park as exhibit
ing the oldest rock formation in
America, and the luxuriance Of its
deciduous forests"
The thing that impressed President
Harding most on his tour through
Zion and Yellowstone parks, accord
ing to the report. was the manner in
which the parks were being used by
people from all parts of the United
States. Travel to the national park
totaled nearly a million and a half
during the fiscal year, the director
said, 1,439,712 persons having visited
the parks in that time. Rocky Noun
