Smith Girl Thought Seen in s. Amherst After Disappearance POND IS BEING SEARCHED
Indianapolis Submarine Light Ex- pert Transfers His Investigations From smith College Campus Pond to Family Residence Grounds.

Northampton. Mass, Feb. { R- An underwater search for the body of Frances St. John Smith. who dis appeared from Smith college Janu- ary 13. was temporarily transferred today from Paradise Pond on the college campus here. to the Smith family summer home, The Ledges," at South Amherst
 Will Light Up Depths
 There Gilbert c. Weis, Indianapolis submarine light expert, planned to bring his apparatus into play to scan the depths of q. small pool on the family estate. Miss Smith was re- ported seen i'll the vicinity of her parents home at Amherst shortly after her disappearance here, but the report was never verified.
 Weis, who boasts that he has re- covered 30 bodies of drowned per- sons out of total of 3l cases where his services had been enlisted, worked his underwater searchlight for hours last night and we'll into the morning but without result.
 Partly I1xplorct
 One side fo Paradise Pond from the college boathouse to the dam, a distance of 150 yards, was explored and then the party went up stream in Mill river which flows into the pond to a favorite swimming hole called "The Button Ball."
 At that point a big pine tree has been a favorite rendezvous for stu dents and others and the water is comparatively deep. Weis surveyed it thoroughly through his apparatus which at depth of 20 feet, has a radius of 30.
 Later today the searchers will re- turn to Paradise. Pond from which Smith college employees will have cleared all ice at the direction of Weis.
 The latter told State Detective Jo- seph V. Daley and Major Thomas J. Hammond. legal adviser here to the parents of the missing girl. that if the girls body were in the pond he believed it would be found close to the surface and probably directly under the ice.
 Works Through Ice Weis did his work last night through holes one yard square which had been cut in the ice. The submersible submarine light iA his own invention. The apparatus con- sists of three sections of nickel with large bell shaped projector at the bottom. In this protector are four lights. five lenses and seven re- flectors. The light thrown on the bottom comes from two storage bat teries and is of $500 candlepower.

 Before he departed from San Juan Lindbergh was entrusted with "a message from the people of Porto Rico to the people of the United States" making a plea for freedom.
 The Porto Rican legislature gave it to Lindbergh at special session when they bestowed upon him a medal of honor.
 The ambassador of good will thanked the legislature for its cor dial welcome. but made no reference to the message. He addressed them instead on commercial aviation, say ing that it was easy to link the is- land of Porto Rico with the United States by air and that such an event,
 
 was not far off.

That is if the training of its chill

the municipality each year offers
free dancing lessons to all its youth,

dren an opportunity to learn the
graceful art, and that the resultant
benefits more than compensate for
the expense.

spirit" she says. Children on the

Little Dorothy Melk. II, who won
the society's reclamation during the
convention with her Interpretation

toe dance designed by Miss Wheeler,
also is a product of the plan.

had a municipal pageant on the
