SAN FRANCISCO. August Bib

airplane race TO Honolulu began to
find trouble as their preliminarles
entered the serious stages today.

Lieuts. Al Henley and Bennett Grit

on their projected flight from Bar
tlesville to San Francisco, when forced
down last night at Amboy Calf, 500
miles from their destination. because
of a gasoline shortage. They planned
to resume their trip today.
Maj Livingston Irving of Berkeley,
Cal, who was forced down near
Monterey during an attempted nom
stop flight from here to San Diego,
returned to Bay Farm Island, Oak

flight to Fresno today. A gasoline feed
pipe on Irvings plane broke when he
was flying about 40 miles out over the
Pacific. and the gasoline sprayed back
into his face. Fearing that the gaso-
line would be ignited by the exhaust
pipe, he steered for shore and landed
in a cow pasture.

FASTENING THE HATCH
BY HEN AND INCUBATOR

Best results are usually obtained
when the birds for the pullet flock
are Matched as near the same date
as possible. But how can this be
brought about when incubators of
small capacity are used, or the hatch
ing and brooding are done by the
broody hens? Poultrymen of Uni
versity Farm say that a practical
method is to fill the small incubators
with eggs from the breeding pens
and as the hens become broody trans
fer the fertile eggs found at the first
Gambling from the incubators to the
hens and allow them to finish the
hatch. The incubators can then be
filled again after being disinfected.
The hens will complete the incubation
in about the same time and large
number of chicks will thus be practi-
cally the same age. This work must
be done very carefully or there will
be losses. A machine of 1OO-egg cap
acity, with broody hens to hatch, will
bring off chicks from 400 fertile eggs
within a period of 81 days, say poul-
try specialists.

A NEW FARM CROP

A suggestion that the agricultural
problem might be solved to some ex-
tent if poor farm lands were convert
ed into forests, was made by Presi-
dent Coolidge in proclaiming April
"a to 80, American Forest Week."
and recommending its observance to
the Governors of the 10 states.
"One-fourth Of our SOIL" the Presi-
dent said, sis better suited to timber
growing than anything else. can
not escape the conviction that our in
dustrial and agricultural stability Will
be strengthened by bringing into full
productive use this great empire of
land.
although much progress has been
made in public forestry, and hopeful
beginnings in private industry, We
still have a vast aggregate of idle or
semi-idle forest land, and another
large aggregate of poor farm land
that might more profitably grow tim
Der instead of adding to the problem
of agricultural overproduction.
"Our migratory forest industries
would be stabilized and made perman-
ent. Rural industry would be greatly
strengthened and vitalized. Agricul-
ture would find in silviculture a
strong. ally, providing markets for
farm produce and for surplus labor.
Our farms themselves contain nearly
a third of our woodland-an enormous
potential farm asset if handled for
continuous timber crops"
The President said, he proclaimed
the seventh annual observance of for
est week, which Canada had decided
to celebrate at the same time, in the
realization that mo other of our in
ternal problems is of greater moment
than the rehabilitation of our forests"

The life of Norman Kittson, who
has just died at the age of ninety.
would almost epitomize the history Of
Minnesota. His name and the name
of his father, Norman w. Kittson,
recur so frequently, and the thread
of their story is woven so intimately
into the record that it is impossible
sometimes, without stopping to think,
to remember one man from the 9TH
er or to distinguish their history
from the history of the state.
Norman w. Kittson was contem-
porary in the fur trade with Sibley.
He made $4,000 on q capital of $25,-
600 at Pembina. He was in the con-
fidence of the Dakota chiefs and was
active during negotiation of the his
tory treaty of Traverse des Sioux.
He was the territorial enumeration at
Pembina in 1849 and was able to
count 637 inhabitants on the Ameri-
can side of the border thereabouts.
He assisted Franklin Steele in pre-
empting the site at the east end of
the st. Anthony Falls He and Hill
are the familiar figures in the early
transportation history of the state.
And the life story of his son, who
died recently, dates from 1888, be
fore there was white mans land in
Minnesota and about the time the mis-.
sionaries vnre beginning to be &C
tive among the Chippewa and tn

KELLOGG PLANS COAST TRIP
TO REGAIN HIS HEALTH


Secretary of State Frank B. Kellogg
leaves within . week or 10 days, for
Santa Barbara, Calf, where he will
spend month in an effort to recover
his health. If he does not recover by
that time, it is expected that he will
resign.
The secretary recently went to
North Carolina in an effort to recup-
crate but apparently did not profit
greatly by his brief vacation. Mr..
Kellogg has met some of the grav-
est problems, probably more of them
than have ever confronted any secre-
tary of state. He has grappled with
them until they have worn him down.
He does not want to quit his post,
but the requirements of his health
make it necessary for him to stop
even though it is in the midst of grave
international negotiations. He has
the complete confidence of the Presi-
dent but it is realized that his health
must come first.
Among those considered for the
place, the name of Secretary of Com
merce Hoover comes first, in the
event Secretary Kellogg resigns. No
one knows more about the far east
than the commerce chief and it would
be natural promotion. Other pos
sible appointees are former Senator
Wadsworth of New York, Postmaster
General New, Charles Beecher War;
rem of Michigan and Senator Len
root of Observation-Disclosures Trib-
une.

THE SEVEN MISTAKES OF LIFE

There seven mistakes of life that many of
make; said famous writer; and then he gave
the following list:
1. The deluson that individual advancement
is made by crushing others down.
2. The tendency to worry about things that
cannot be hanged corrected.
g. Insisting that thing is impossible be-
cause we ourselves cannot accomplish it.
4. Attempting to compel other persons to be-
ieve and live as we do.
5. Neglecting development and refinement of
the mind by not acquiring the habit of reading.
6. Refusing to set aside trivial preferences IN
order that important things may be accomplished.

LENT
Going apart The soul desert seeks,
quiet place, with the sky vast, far away,
Unbroken ever by grayer gray in streaks,
Nor any clouds that cross its surface stray.
Where scarce, the slightest breeze dare to ntrude
Or lone note of bird fall the ear,
Leaving the spirit stepped in solitude,
Sensing other entity is near!
Such withdrawing time each mortal Graves,
Perplexed and wearied by the great worlds
din
BY toll which hampers, custom which enslaves,
Unrest of going out and coming in.
Through forty days? Oh, measure not the time
Till Duty calls us back in tones shrill, clear
Yet-even this respite means what heights sublime
To haunt, to soace, till another year!

Officers Destroy
Quantity of Mash

Deputy sheriffs visited the ranch
owned by "Red' Mason, four
miles northwest of Imperial, last
night and destroyed a quantity of
mash which was found in hidden
cellar under the house. There were
13 barrels of mash, the deputies re-
ported. No arrests were made.
The mash was discovered three
days ago and the deputies have been
attempting to trap the owner but
when no one appeared up to last
night it was decided to destroy the
stuff. The hidden cellar has q
unique entrance, q sawbuck sitting
beside the house serving as huge
handle or lever to open a trap door
leading to it.
Mason, the owner of the ranch,
was arrested some time ago when 40
gallons of alleged intoxicating Ii
quor was found there and upon con-
viction paid fine and was released.
AS far as could be determined he is
not implicated in the ownership of
the mash destroyed last night.

COLLEGE GIRL IS
IN CUSTODY AS
BANK ROBBER
lSurrenders to Officials
Who Find Her Near
Safe With Drill
By United Press Leased Wire

VERMILLON. S. D., Feb. 5. -
Miss Marian Meyers, 19-year-old
coed at the cn7cersity of South
Dakota, was arrested today when
she was unable to explain her pres
ence in the First National bank be
fore it had opened its doors.
Dennis Sullivan, night watchman
at the bank, found the girl hiding
near the vaults. He said she was
concealing an electric drill when he
came upon her but that the cord was
too short to reach the nearest cleo
trio light plug.
Dennis Sullivan, the policeman,
pecred into a lighted hallway in the
rear of the bank building early to-
day and saw the girl seated on the
steps, forlorn and disconsolate.
without approaching her, he sum-
moned bank officials.
When the officials walked in on
her, Miss Meyers arose with an ap-
parent sigh of relief, greeted them
TREMENDOUSLY and explained that she
was glad they had come because she
had been waiting to give her self
up But she did not explain her
presence until later.
Miss Meyers said she has a moth
er and other relatives at Valley
, City, n. d. But the mother, she
said, could not afford to have the
daughter continue at the university.
So she planned the robbery.
"Please don't tell mothr,' she
pleaded.
~ took an electric drill and some
pliers and other tools with me and
got into the bank building through
the back window, which was open.
CATER a while I got scared. The
cord on the drill was too short to
reach to the big safe and l thought
l heard someone walking outside.
So | left and went a little ways.
Then remembered that l had forgot
ten the bag. 1t had my name inside
and | knew they would catch me.
"When l got back / decided it
WASH t any use to do it. So l sat
down and waited for the clerka to
arrive.o "a
She admitted one other robbery.
~ went into the Ford Motor
company last night and took the
drills and other TOOLS" States At
tOrney II. o. Perkins quoted her as
saying.
Irony was seen by Perkins in the
fact that the girl attempted to at
tack the big safe of the bank with
an electric drill. No drill could have
penetrated the thick, tough steel of
the strongbo1, he told the United
Press.
Perkins said n decision on what
action to take against the girl would
not be made until Monday. He in
dicated that it was up to the bank
officials to say what should be done.
Meanwhile she will continue pris-
oner in the Jail here. Clothing and
toilet articles were brought to her
from the room that she rented.
81 believe she is telling the truth
about her wish to continue her cdu-
cation,' Perkins asserted, "but l
am not positive she did not have a
confederate. -
