SPANISH AVIATORS, LOST
 IN DESERT, NOT FOUND
No Trace of Two Birlmcn Although Every Effort Is Made
 to Find Them

Madrid, April 14 R-The Spanish minister at Cairo, Egypt, in a des- patch says that no trace has been found of Captain Estevez, leader of the Spanish flight to Manila, or his mechanician, Calyo, who abandoned their plane Sunday 100 miles from Amman while on flight from Cairo to Bagdad. Amman is about 55 miles north east of Jerusalem in n desolatc section of the country.
 British aviators arc still continu- ing their search for the missing men.
 Cairo, Egypt, April l4 Pl--A ceaseless search is being made by British aviators for the missing Spanish flier, Captain Estevez, and his mechanician. Up to the present, however, no trace of them has been found. The opinion prevails here that there need being no particular anxiety over their fate, as Captain Estovez speaks Arabic fuently.
 The men are now presumably walking through q grazing country where they are likely to encounter friendly Arab shepherds. who, with the prospect Of q reward, would conduct them to Syria or Transjor- dania.
 Karachi, Bombay, April 14.--Cap- talns Gonzales, Gallarza and Loriga companions of the missing Spanish aviator Captain Estovcz, who are making q flight from Madrid to Manila, arrived here today. Cap tain Gonzales arrived at s p. m. and Captain Loriga landed half an hour later. Both are in good physical condition.
 Almost the first words spoken by the Spanish niors were inquiries about Captain Estevez and his me Chanician, The officers expressed concern when they were informed that no word had been received on the whereabouts of their com mandnr.
 Great crowds, mostly made up of natives, welcomed the ficrs who hope to continue to Agra tomorrow morning on the next leg of their flight.

RADIO BURGLAR IS
 CAUGHT IN N. YORK
Habitual Phrase Spoken by Sus-
 peCt Leads to Downfall

New York, April l4 Pl--Paul Hil- ton, the radio burglar and baseball nut" who terrorized the Woodhaven section of Queens for three months, during which time he fatally wound cd one policeman, shot three others and committed % house burglaries, was behind bars today as the result of an unusual chain Of circum. stances.
 His use of tho name of a former prison acquaintance in obtaining an automobile license gave the police their first clue 10 his identity. His foudness for baseball resulted in his being caught yesterday as he was entering the Polo Grounds to attend the opening baseball game of the season. And his uso of chance phrase confirmed the suspicion of his captors that he was the burglar, after they had begun to doubt that he was the man they wanted.

VACCINATE ALL BABIES AGAINST
TUBERCULOSIS.

Paris, Dec. 26.-Ob!igatory vaccina-
ton against tuberculosis Of every baby
born in France is being strongly urged
by the Paris Academy of Medicine.
More than one million Frenchmen suffer
from tuberculosis. according to official
sta istics.
French infant mortality is Is per cent
the first year. In tubercu'ar districts
four of every five children born, are
carried away by tuberculosis before they
are a year old.
The new anti-tuherculosis vaccine,
which its discoverer, Professor Calmette
Of the Paris Pasteur Institute, calls
"B. G.. Co." was tried in 1910 cases of
babies born of tubercular parents. Not
one child died.
Nevertheless Professor Calmette OPP
poses making baby vaccination compul-
sorry. Let US educate the parents to
understand and the ACCESSIBILITY of hav-
ing their children vaccinated. But let's
not make it obligatory, and thus arouse

fessor Cslmette.
The vaccine must be administered
within the first week after birth if it is
to be effective. Three doses are given in
a spoonful of milk at AZ hour intervals.
The vaccine is furnished free by the
