RUY SPORTING GOODS.

TUCSON, April 16.-More than a
half million pesos has been spent on
American sporting goods for the sol
diers of the Mexican army, according
to Arturo NJ Elias, financial agent of
the Mexican government and consul
general of Mexico in New York, who
passed through here on his way east.
Elias, who is a half-brother of Presi-
dent Gales of Mexico, expended the
money for the material, he said.
The soldiers of the Mexican forces
have taken to American games, espe-
cially baseball, basket ball and foot
ball, he said In fact, he added, the
words designating the various sports
have been adopted into the Spanish
tongue unchanged as to pronuncia-
tion, the spelling alone differing.
Football becomes "futbol," baseball
becomes "beisbol' and basket ball is
f'basquetbol" down in Mexico.

Ancient Tracking Art
OF Desert Used In Big
Hunt For Missing Men

CAIRO, Egypt, April 16.-An an
cient art of the desert, the uncanny
skill of trained natives in tracking
man or beast over the vast expanse
of sand has been called into play in
renewed efforts to find trace of Cap
tain Estevez and his mechanic of
the Spanish flying expedition to
Manila, missing since last Sunday.
After days of steady search by
British aviators, Hamed, prize tracker
of the British detective force of
Egypt, today was somewhere on the
Syrian desert trying to unravel the
mystery of. the whereabouts of the
Spanish airmen.
Hamed the Sherlock Holmes OF
Egypt as fav as tracking is con-
cerned, was taken today to Captain
Estevez's abandoned airplane near
Amman, Palestine, and began trac-
ing the footprints of the men who
left a note saying they were proceed
ing afoot.
Hamed frequently has jbeen utilized
by the police when all other track
ers have failed He is greatly fear
ed by the criminal class, and many
natives attribute his skill to black
magic
Despite the failure thus far to To-
cate the Spanish airmen, the search
ers have not abandoned hope, be-
Ilieving that Captain Estevez and his
companion may be sheltered with
some desert tribes. &Ath q

| At the same time General An
drews was becoming a storm center
in the vets and dry controversy.
Assailed by some drys over the coun-
try because he agreed before the
senate committee that restricted gov
might help enforcement, he was de-
Tended today by both wet and dry
leaders in congress.
Repeated statements by the vets
that the practical operation of the
Volstead act has resulted in injury
to the morals of the young Ameri
can drew fire from a number of
witnesses. Mr.. Keating denounced
them as "libeIs" and Mrs Helen P.
Green, a member Of the city coun7
ell of Cleveland, Ohio, declared that
such certainty was not the case
in her city.
DR.. Lee w. Beatty, superintendent
of the Madison Square Settlement of
New York, took issue also with the
claim of the vets that home brewing
and distilling in the home is pre-
valent. He said personal inspec-
tion of SO homes within one block Of

lieves, are not functioning as we'll as
had been expected.
At the meeting of the house agri-
culture committee, Chairman Haugen
indicated that in working out a bill
he would use the corn belt measure
as basis.
His plan is to include a revolving
fund for stabilizing agricultural
prices by levying an equalization fee
on the first sale of wheat, corn, cat
tie and hogs.
Differing from the corn belt bill,
to the discretion of federal farm
board, Haugens scheme would direct
the board to maintain the price of
each basic commodity at the world
market quotation plus the import
tariff.
Should the price of any product fall
below this figure, the board would
be authorized to buy and sell the
product directly. Under the corn
belt bill, the board could operate
only through farmers cooperative
associations.
The Haugen bill also would en-
power the president to fix the tariff
on food commodities at any level
necessary to protect the American
farmer from foreign competition. The
tariff is not mentioned in the corn
belt measure.

DIR. S. Parkcs Cadman, of New York
president of the Federal Council OF
Churches, delivered by DR.. Charles

tary of the council.
The call of the hour is for such

NEW DANGERS.

PLYMOUTH, Mass, April 16.-A
brisk southwest wind today brought
new danger from forest fire which
last night menaced the Miles Standish
state pine reservation near this town.
While the advance of the flames was
checked temporarily when the wind
died down last night, the fire still
smouldered on a four mile front,
threatening to sweep onward in the di-
rection of Plymouth.
While local and state officials in
vestigated reports that the fire was
of incendiary origin, hundreds of for
estry men and firemen spent all night
fighting the flames. 1t was feared
today that if the wind started the fire
afresh, it would move towards this
town with many cottages in the path
it would cover.

BAGDAD, Irak April 16.-Three mil
.itary planes, flying across the Arabian
desert from 'Shibah to Abu-Char, were
caught in an exceptionally severe sand
storm today. Two of the planes
fought their way back to Shibah, but
the third was wrecked in the desert
near Jaliba, 100 miles north of Basra.
Occupants of this plane, T. E. Tones
and f. e. Leatherdale, were killed. Be-
cause of the poor visibility it is be-
lieved that the plane crashed while
flying low in an attempt to pick up a
landmark.
