Office SEARCH
RIVER FOR
CANOE|ST

The harbor police are searching
today for the body of John w.
Lang, jr.. Is, Western. High School
student, who was drowned yester.
day while attempting to shoot the
rapids at Little Falls of the Poto.
mac. Robert Emery, a companion,
was also tossed into the raging
river, but was rescued mile below
Chain Bridge.
Lang, the son of Major and Mrs.
John w. Lang, of 3715 Idaho Ave.
~. W.. and Emery, who lives at
Fort Hunt, had been on an Easter
camping trip, and were returning
home. The boys believed that they
could shoot the rapids in safety
and thus save much time.
Crashes On Rock
The two canoes started through
the choppy water and then Lang's
craft struck a submerged rock, in
spite Of his desperate padding. and
overturned. Emery's canoe was also
capsized, but he managed to cling
to the overturned craft. Lang was
seen to make desperate grab for
his canoe and then go under.
Several persons on the Chain
Bridge saw the canoes capsize, but
were unable to give aid to either
of the boys. Lang is believed to
have struck a rock and been
knocked unconscious, as he was an
expert swimmer. Emery, clinging
to his canoe, was carried through
the rapids for more than a. mile.
j. d. Stehman and Mclean
Smith, two Boy Scouts, of Cherry
dale, Va, saw Emery holding des-
perately to the upturned canoe,
and went in after him. They had
a hard fight against the current to
reach him, and then to bring him
ashore. He was given dry clothing
and went home.
Lang's body was not found. and
the harbor police are dragging the
spot near where his canoe over
turned today.
Young Lang was born at West
Point, N. r, and was a sergeant
of cadets at Western High School.
His father was preparing him for
an army career. Major Lang is
detailed to the press section Of the
War Department.

1875 new PRIZES
DUE IN TIMES
AD TEST

Judges in The Times-Zain AID Test
Campaign are selecting 1876 prizes,
including the grand weekly prize
of 500, today. The announcement
OF the weekly winners in the cam
paign will be made in the Sunday
Herald and the Monday Times.
Yesterday, a special announce
ment was made The third and
fourth weeks in the campaign will
be combined.
This means that 800 prizes will
be awarded at the end of the period
closing at midnight April 25, Two
500 first prizes will be awarded.
With two weeks in which to
write ads in the campaign there IS
plenty of time to get ideas.
It might be well to look over the
list of special prizes, too. Many of
the 80 firms entered in the cam
paign have offered inducements to
ad writer's to pay attention to their
particular. service or product.
Look over the special prizes. Then
sit down and write an ad.
The business of writing ads is
NOT hard. No previous experience
is necessary. There is but one
limitation. Professional ad writer's
are barred.
Here are a few hints--a few
don'ts. Study the firms entered,
learn what they sell. Sit down and
write an idea explaining what that
particular firm stands for. Above
all-don't take national advertise
ment and copy it and send it in as
your idea. Be as original as pos
sible. Sometimes a word. or a
slogan a little different will win.
New ideas are cropping out all the
while.
No fancy art work or layouts or
unusual type or neat handwriting
is necessary. One of the best ideas.
and a prize winner. was submitted
on a small sheet of paper some
what bigger than a postcard. The
writing was not especially good.
But the idea won the prize. That
Is what is wanted.
In order to encourage the writing
OF ads, The Washington Times has
instituted The Times-Zain AID Test
Campaign. In all $12,500 In cash
and prizes will be presented. The
CAPITAL PRIZE IS :1.000. In
order to win this. one ad must be
written on each concern. n
There are no strings to the cam.
paign. There are no coupons to
fill out, no subscriptions to get
nothing to do except write an ad on
one or alias many ads as you
like. on the firms in the campaign.
Keep up with the campaign in
The Times. member-winners
