 he vessel left Pier 6, Staten I5- land. Her run ou tho wal out was made in 1 hour and 49 minutes, giving her ar average speed, for the 29.2 miles, of 13 knots. While this was not claimed as record, owing , to the fact that no records are kept flor vessels of her size, it was con aidered at least as good as any per formance that has been made under similar conditions by ships under 5000 tons.
 The return run, owing to head winds, was made at a slightly slow CT speed, and the average speed made by the Courageous for the 58.4 miles was 1535 knots. Inasmuch as it is expected that shC will be allo- cated to the Roosevelt Steamship Company for their round-the-world service, this is considered ample
 Upon her return to Ambrose the vessel performed successfully the figure eight steering test and was tested coming from full speed to a full stop. It is expected that under conditions of actual service she will he able to maintain a steady average rof more than 13 knots.
 The Courageous has four Diesel engines. each generating 1,2OO-brake horsepower at 25O revolutions, turn four large electric generators, which | IT JuIII operate u6I mOCOI, WHICH has a shaft horsepower of 4,0OO.
 The Diesel engines were made by Mcintosh & Seymour and the gen. orators were furnished by the Gen oral Electric Company.
 Another innovation was put into effect when the engines were in- stalled. The bow and stern of the Courageous were cut off and the en- zines and generating plant were than installed, This was subjected to much criticism, especially by British shipping experts, but it worked out successfully.
 The record dittoned ship is 46S6 feet long, 56 feet in beam and 3S feet deep, II feet having been added to it's length during the recondition- ing. The cost of the work was ap- rroximately $1,3OO,OOO.

CITES RETIREMENT

Acorn Points to Interest.
Bearing Accounts of Civil
Service Workers.

An important by-product of the civil
service retirement law is the fact that
so many thousands of the Federal
workers have now stable savings &C
counts on which they are receiving con-
siderable interest, through the regular
deductions from their pay checks to-
ward the retirement fund, which they
would not otherwise have saved.
This Is emphasized In statement
made public today by Robert H. AL
corn, chairman of the joint conference
on retirement and representative Of
the civil service employees of the United
States on all legislative matters affect
ing their interest.
His statement Is In part as follows:
while the purpose OF the retirement
law is not primarily q saving propo-

feature of the law. Let's stop and

WASHINGTON BOY
ON MISSING SHIP
Arlington Youth Also Aboard
Tanker Believed Lost 600
Miles West of Azores.

Gorgan De zavala, 19-year-old son
of Mr.. and Mrs. August De zavala of
the Gordon Hotel, and George Watson,
10, Of Arlington, Va, it became known
today were aboard the American tanker
David c. Reid, believed to have gone
down 500 miles west Of the Azores, Oc-
tober IA. presumably carrying all the
crew of IS with her.
Young de zavala has resided in
Washington for more than six years,
and attended Western High, Dewitt
Prep and Emerson Institute. His father,
formerly with the Federal Farm Loan
Board, now represents an investment
banking house here.
The Watson boy is the son of j. w.
Watson. Parents of both are overcome.
Shipped as Seamen.
The boys had shipped as seamen on
the vessel for the experience.
The boys were students at st. John S
College, Annapolis.
The plight of the tanker became
known in London last Tuesday, when
Lloyd's announced that a message had
been received from the freighter Delilian
reporting the receipt of an s o S call
from ship giving the radio signature
KIBC late the previous Sunday. The
Delilian proceeded to the position given
and searched until noon Monday with
out finding any sign of boat or wreck
age. The call for help had said that
the ship was sinking fast. Search was
made in latitude $3.50 north and longi-
tude 3S.17 west. about 500 miles west of
the Azores, from which the call origi-
mated, and an extensive oil patch was
found.
Believe Vessel Safe.
The Reid, formerly the Silverbrook,
was owned by the John Jay Shipping
Co. of Boston and cleared from Suez
September 26, for Philadelphia. where
she was due today. The owners think
1t impossible that the. vessel could
have sunk, and ascribe the fact that
there is no word to the condition OF
her wireless. She was following q
course to avoid the storm.

REPORT ENDORSES
CHRISTIAN HEALING
Three Physicians, Including
Mayo, in Group Approving
Cure by Faith.

Healing through Christian faith "is
an experience of mankind that can no
longer be questioned" said report of
the church commission on healing sub
mitted to both houses of the General
Convention of the Episcopal Church
here yesterday.
The report apparently carefully avoids
indorsing by name the work Of any of
the church groups engaged In healing,
such as the Society of the Nazarene and
the Life Abundant movement, but 1t
lifts Christian healing TO q position
above that of al other faith cures.
The report Is the more remarkable in
that it Is signed by a committee which
includes DR.. Charles H. Mayo of
Rochester, Mimi. and two other physi-
clans, DR.. Sinclair Bowen of Washing
ton and DR.. Howard Johnson of Cali
fornia.
while faith in any supposed rem
edy," the report states, has some
good effect, vital faith in God. as re-
vealed in Christ. is followed by results
which are more sure. more lasting and
OF more eminently spiritual char
acter.
I'VE reaffirm our conviction that the
ministry of healing in the church
should be exercised as far as possible
in cooperation with medical science
and practice"
The convention is asked to adopt the
following resolution:
Resolved: That this general con-
vention thankfully recognizes the deep
ening of the spiritual life of the church
which has come through growing
recognition of the healing power OF
God. That 1t commends to the at
tention Of the church such efforts as
are being made by trained men and
women under sanction of Episcopal au-
thority to awaken men to the truth of
spiritual healing. And, further, that it
recommends that the theological schools
in their teaching give increased atten-
ton to the whole subject of the cure of
souls. emphasizing prayer as an ex-
preston of living rather than Of
formal faith"
The commission reports that it found
little uniformity in the technique fol-
lowed in the actual practice Of Christian
healing.
1.-THE methods used" the report says.
".are largely influenced by the type Of
Guardianship of the clergyman who,
through faith In the promises of Christ
and through prayer for His healing
grace, tries to bring to suffering men
and women the healing Of the body,
mind and character"

maritime officials to make every effort
to learn If the missing ship Is afiOat.
He visited Federal officials in the GUS
tom house and Charles e. Ruth of the
Maritime Exchange. The ships call
letters are being broadcast twice day
from a commercial station IN an effort
to get an answer. Thus far there has
been no answer.
The two boys, classmates, left Wash

bile, where they joined the ship. It
then sailed for the Far East, continue

as to the safety of the missing vessel,

yesterday morning, when he demanded
some jack and then refused to take
any money after it was offered him.
His case was continued until tomor-

some of the five friends, who will be
asked to corroborate Chapin's story.
He testified that he left a restaurant
about 3 am. Monday, but remembered
nothing else until he came to- In a
cell in the sixth precinct yesterday aft
ernoon.
Charge Twice Changed.
Chaplin first was booked at the pre-
cinct for investigation" This was
later changed to attempted robbery;
afterward. following the preliminary
hearing before Assistant United States
Attorney Joseph Bruce, papers were
made out against him charging assault.
Police Court records show that on
February 10. last, Chaplin was charged
with intoxication, assault and carrying
deadly weapon. The assault charge
was nolle pressed, his personal bond
| was taken for intoxication and he de-
manded jury trial for the weapon
count.
Was Sent to GalIinger.
Two days later, while at liberty under
bond, Chaplin slashed his chest in the
Mushroom of the Offices of Maj. John
S. Hunt, an attorney of 1922 H street.
Maj. Hunt administered first aid, but a
few minutes later, while seated on the
lawyers desk, he took bottle from his
pocket and swallowed the contents, be-
lieved to be poison AS a result of this
episode he was sent to Gallinger Hos
/ pital for mental observation.
On April he withdrew his demand
for jury trial for carrying a deadly
weapon and pleaded guilty. Judge John
P. Mcmahon imposed suspended sem
I tence of $50 days.
Chaplin is the son of the late H. Ger
aid Chaplin, noted New York attorney
and legal authority, who was the au-
thor of many legal text books.
