 MT. Kingston said he could scarcely believe that the accident really occurred without injuring anyone and is congratulating him. self on his good fortune.

MACDONALD TRIP MAY
 LICHTEN TAX BURDENS
By WADE WERNER GA. P. Staff Writer)

LONDON, July 8.-When James Ramsay Macdonald, prime minis ter of Great Britain and first lord of the treasury, leaves London for his "heart-to-heart" conference with President Hoover he will be think ing in terms of billions-the bil- lions in armament costs now heap ed upon the tired backs of tax payers.
 Much smaller sums were suffi- cient to wrinkle his brow when, as a lad of 19, he came to London practically penniless, He began the carving -out of his extraordinary career by addressing envelopes for bicycle touring club.
 Sixty cents was all he had when he arrived, this son of Scottish peasants with a hankering for more education than poor boys of that day were supposed to have. And although he had hoped for some thing better when he came, $240 week was what he got for the envelope job. But it was only temporary work. with gaps of un- employment between.
 Finally young Macdonald found what looked like permanent work as invoice clerk in a warehouse. The job paid him about $3.75 a week, every week. and he felt so pros- porous that soon he was paying tuition fees at the City of London College and Hiehbury institute, and even sending home some money to his mother
 Given an opportunity to do some chemical laboratory work he threw himself into it with such unre- lenting application Ca degree in science was his ambition them that his health broke down. Thus his first ten years in London turned to be years of poverty and ob-

 Meanwhile, however, he had be- come Interested in socialism, ant when Liberal politician offered him the post of private secretary ht found himself in a position tc achieve both a Lying and a politica education. He would have prefer red to have worked his way through university; later, however, he looked upon the learning he had obtained through toll as more valu- able than anything the university could have given him.
 No doubt the President of the United States and the Prime Min ister of England will have many an anecdote of those early struggling days to exchange. For Herbert Hoover got what Ramsay MacDon- aids breakdown vent e d-s chance to work his way through g university.
 To many who feel keenly war: double cost it will seem a happy turn of fate that these two men both unequivocally poor in theil youth-should now strive to pare down the costliest of all burdens or civilization. Their heart talk may make Mars a pauper.

Williams and Yancey with Mechanic Leave in Fog
 for Italian City
WEATHER CONDITIONS
 ARE TO BE REPORTED
Flight in Nature of Test
 Destination Expected to
 Be Reached 50 Hours

OLD ORCHARD, Maine, July B. Successful in the third attempt to takeoff from the beach, Rogers Williams and Leawise Yancey are presumably winging their way to- ward Rome in the monoplane Path finder.
 There is possibility of the flight being in the nature of a test as Yancey told Ben zebor, his me- chanic, that if q careful check of gasoline the first few hours showed the plane using too much gas, they would return.
 The start was in contrast to the other two when the planes were wrecked.
 The takeoff today was made in a fog. Lieut.. Melka, in Coast Guard amphibian plane, reported he followed the Pathfinder the first 100 miles and it was making good progress. 4
 Yancey, master mariner, was to m ake temperature readings and other observations during the flight to aid in Atlantic weather fore casting.
 The distance to Rome from here is estimated at 5,70O miles. Yancey expected to reach Rome within 4S t1tss l3 sss
 Favorable winds will aid the plane although fog at sea will be met until 1000 miles out.

Engineer Dredge Due There Tomorrow for 30
 Days on Petersburg Bar

The United States Engineers dredge, Mckenzie, is due to ar rive at Petersburg tomorrow for a months work on Petersburg Bar at the north entrance to Wrangell Narrows, according to an announce ment made today at local head quarters of the District Engineer It is estimated it will be necessary to remove about 150,000 cubic yards of silt and sand in order to con- pletely clear the channel.
 The Mckenzie is one of the larg- est sea-going hopper dredges oper- ated by the United States Engi- neer Board. It has a capacity oi 50,000 yards per week. It makes it's headquarters in San Francisco This is the first time it has beer brought to Alaskan waters.
 Silt drifting across the bar has filled in and altered the course oi the channel in two or more places and has made it more tortuous than normal, impeding navigation materially. The dredge will re- move the silt deposits and take the silt out to deep water for dump ing.
 Engineer James Truitt has beer on the ground for several weeks with a crew making examinations and getting the bar marked ir readiness for the dredge's opera tions. He will supervise the work which is expected to be completed in about 30 days.

United States. And, after 30 years, some of these problems still are of vital interest to world nurs- ing.
 "As to our accomplishments, state registration of nurses has been achieved in many countries. In other countries not ready for gov- ernment action, nurses are required to register through the national nurses organization. Protection of the public from unskilled nursing and protection of the good name of our profession are attained by such legislation, which before long, promises to be universal"

By KIRKE SIMSON GA. P. Feature Writer)

WASHINGTON, July 8.--One fac- tor apparently overlooked thus far in the international hubbub over further naval reductions and limi- tations is the German navy.
 It does not amount to much in size, due to severe restrictions of the treaty that ended the war. But German mechanical ingenuity has found a way, within those re- structions, to produce class Of hybrid fighting ships that can con- ceivably be difficult to fit iiito any acceptapic category for hmitia- tion purposes.
 The new German ships, limited to 10000 tons displacement, are the same size as the 10000 ton post Washington treaty cruisers of Eng land, the United States, Japan, Italy and France. Such vessels were the chief bone of contention in the fruitless three-power naval confer ence sponsored by President Cool idge.
 But while the ships are limited to guns of eight-inch caliber, the German vessels could carry guns twice that size and do, in fact mount 11-inch batteries.
 German naval designers never have followed the big gun ideas of their British and American riv- als. They were content before the World War to build German high seas battleships and battle cruis- CTS with long range 11-inch wea- pons.
 In the war they got action with the 11-inch batteries against Brit ish heavy war dogs mounting 13.5- inch and even 15-inch weapons.
 It is to be assumed that the Ger man 11-inch naval rifle of today is vastly improved over war time guns of the same size, as are the eight -inchers of other naval pow CTS.
 The result, then, of postwar and post-treaty German naval develop ment is the creation of new naval weapon. It is a cruiser in size but a battleship in hitting power and gun range. That is a factor that cannot be overlooked by naval experts when and if the discussions precipitated by President Hoover's suggestion for naval yardstick of fighting relativities gets down tc practical basis.
 i Nor are previous naval relativity ] formulae upset by the German su- per-cruisers on the score of gum power alone. They are motor in- stead of turbine driven. American naval information credits tn eii propelling machinery with the stag gering weight reduction evolution that gives them one brake horse power per 171a pounds of engine weight.
 The same type of internal com. bustion engines used ashore never before have been brought down tC less than 51 pounds per brake horse power. The saving in engine weight for the German cruisers means more gun power, more speed and, a very vital consideration ir naval fighting relativities, mort cruising radius. This is what the United State: navy department has had to sa, of the new German ship:
 "She scarcely can be called { battleship or battle cruiser; bu whatever definition be given, i appears clear that only by tn adoption of internal combustion machinery has it been possible t. build a vessel restricted to a dis placement of 10000 tons and witt a radius action exceeding 1000
