holds the 100 and 200-yard
marks. but the Swedish tanker

plane apparently experiencing motor
troubles, had passed over that town on
Monday, led the authorities to ask the
French steamer "Angease," at St.
Pierre Miquelon, to go to the bay and
make a thorough search. Should this
mission prove futile, the "Angeasp"
will cruise West along the South coast
where there are a number Of small fish
ing settlements, one of which may hold
the secret of the French a%viators. These
settlements have no means of cOmmunica-

and it was considered a possibility that
Nungesser and Coli might have been
picked up by a fisherman and taken to
one of these settlements.

. BODY WATCHED

The attempt by the City Service
Association for Law and Order to
place a volunteer dry" citizen In
former in every neighborhood Is q
hitherto untried experiment which
is being watched by other reform
organizations.
Deets Pickett, secretary Of the
Methodist Episcopal Board Of Tenn
perance and Public Morals, said
today that In all the years he has
worked as q public reformer he has
never known of such an attempt to
enforce the law a. IL being tried
now In Washington.
DIR. Clarence True Wilson, OF the
same organization, who has travelled
all over the United States in behalf
OF temperance and public morality,
said he had never heard OF any
other such organization as the City
Service Association for Law and
Order.
Asked whether the Methodist
Church would follow the example
set here, Pickett said he thought
not.
THAT does not mean that we are
unfriendly to the work, however.
It means merely that we believe
such moves should be left strictly
UP to the individual towns and
Cities" he said.
