ON BOARD THE S. S. RICHMOND,
August 29 (by wireless) ).-Battling
against heavy gale, wading in ice
cold water up to their necks. Lieut..
George Neville, naval reservist, and
two enlisted men, Joseph Bowl and
William Cahill, all of the Destroyer
Lawrence, saved IS drums OF fuel
from floating off to sea and prevented
an indefinite postponement of the
world flight. The incident happened
Wednesday night, but became known
only when Lieut.. Neville came aboard
this ship to make his report
Lieut.. Neville. who was in charge
was reused Wednesday night by his
men, who reported that water had in
undated the camp and that the drums
OF gasoline, each weighing $50 pounds,
were adrift. Jumping into a small
boat. the officer and his men endeav-
ored to reach the big drums and make
them fast. Before they succeeded
their boat capsized and they plunged
to their necks in freezing water. But
they kept trying. Wading and swim
ming, they lashed the drums together
and little after midnight hauled
them ashore. then spent the rest OF
the night trying to keep from freezing
to death, and in the morning gave each
other alcohol rubs.
Had the drums gotten away the
flyers would have reached I$-e without
chance of replenishing their ga
tanks. The nearest place where. fu q

COOLIDGE MAKING
STAND ON RECORD
CONTINUED from First Page.)

but is a Republican Congress? The
Democrats have yet to prove that
they will be any better, though they
insist they will have Southern con-
servatives plus Eastern conservatives
If they win q majority this time, for
they do not anticipate the acquisition
of many Southern and Western radi-
Gals.
Mr.. Coolidge has not yet disclosed
how he will handle the question of
getting Republican Congress to
execute his policies. He has entered
no primary fights to prevent the re-
nomination of men who opposed him.
So far as is known the Republican
national organization is not entering
candidates of the pro-Coolidge type
to wrest seats from the Republicans
who blocked Mr.. Coolidges attempts
at leadership.
In another month most OF the men
who are to run for Congress will
have been nominated. Many of them
are reluctantly indorsing the ma
tional ticket for their own political
advantage and thus may escape pun
ishment from Republican voters who
wanted them in the past to uphold
President Coolidge's policies. Other
congressional nominees are saying
little about the national ticket and
show signs of continuing their in
surgency.
AS 4 general thing, very little is
being done to make the Republican
party in Congress bow to the Cool
idge' leadership. Whenever this
question is asked in Republican
circles It is usually answered with
the statement that once Coolidge is
elected a Republican Congress Will
follow him. Before the campaign is
another month old this phase OF 1t
will grow constantly in importance,
for business, big and little. will be
worried less about Davis and Cool
idge than It will be about Congress.

little matter of Mongolian custom was

The Mongolian law provides a pro-

parents of the girl FIVE camels, but in
case she is a widow the price is so

camels did not figure in his prenup-

matrimonial bonds are not binding

worth ten times as many camels as a
maid. Apparently there is not q
