NAVAL AGREEMENT
OBSTACLES SMALL
Only Certain Aspects of
Cruiser Problem Stand Be-
tween Britain and U. S.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Obstacles to an accord between the
United States and Great Britain on
complete naval equality apparently have
been reduced to certain aspects of the
complex cruiser problem, which caused
the failure of the tri partite confer
ence of 1927.
Each government has placed its
viewpoint on this question before the
other in detail, however, and, while
further discussion will be necessary,
Washington officials are hopeful that
the remaining differences, which are
few, can be eliminated and an agree
ment announced in few days.
Prepare Viewpoint.
The preparation and presentation Of
the American viewpoint for Prime
Minister MacDonalds consideration is
the task which has kept President Hoo
yer, Secretaries Stimson and Adams
and Undersecretary Cotton working
overtime recently and filing many pages
of cable correspondence to Ambassador
Dawes.
In so far as destroyer and submarine
strength is concerned, little difficulty is
seen in the way of an agreement be-
tween the two governments to bring
their navies to the basis of parity agreed
upon at the outset of the negotiations,
when the British prime minister ac-
cepted the principle that they should be
equal in strength in all categories of
vessels.
See 1886 as Goal.
Indications now are that 1886 will be
selected as the year for attainment of
that equality, and that any agreements
which may be reached at the contem-
plated fve-power naval conference
would be timed to expire in that year
so that another accord could be ne
gotiated taking into consideration
changed conditions and experience.
The 5-5-3 treaty negotiated at WASH
ington in 1922, which established Brit
ish-American parity in battleship and
airplane carrier tonnage, also will ex-
pire in 1886. thus laying the whole
problem open to reconsideration at that
time in the event Of a general agree
ment on cruiser, submarine and de-
stroyer strength in the near future.

PRELIMINARY
 SURVEY TO BE
 MADE OF RIVER
U. s. Engineers Office to Make Study of Trouble
 some Stream

A preliminary examination is to be made by the Engineers office of the Salmon river with a view to the control of floods, it is announced by Major Malcolm Elliott. This river empties into the head of the Portland Canal near Hyder, Alaska, and Stewart, B. C., and is said to overflow frequently and cause con- siderable damage to both Federal and private property, which the protective measures heretofore talk en by local interests have not en- tirely averted, Major Elliott said.
 The harbor at Hyder was exam ined by Col. J. G. Steese in 1926 with a view to improvement for the benefit of navigation, but no improvements for tn at purpose could be justified at that time, it is said.
 Congress has now by an act ap- proved February 2, 1929, authorized preliminary examination of the site with a view to flood protection, and the examination will be con- ducted within the next few months, Major Elliott made known.

 Several fine pictures of Juneau and especially pictures of the new High School and Masonic Temple, in which MT. Rice installed the heating appliances, are given space in the paper.

CONSERVATTSN RULING FACTOR
 OF NEW VAR SECRETARY'S WIFI
By SUE MCNAMARA Associated Press Feature Writer)


 WASHINGTON, March 18,-Mod- crate in all her tastes is Mrs. James w. Good, wife of the new Secretary of War. Conservative and well balanced, Mrs Good should fit easily into her new duties as a Cabinet members wife.
 Clad in a becoming maroon gown, she. snatched a few moments from a busy morning recently to tell something of her family and nome life. Of herself Mrs. Good would say little. She smilingly de- nies having any hobbies. She serv- cd as Secretary of the Woman's Club of Evanston, H., but says that she cannot in any sense be called club woman. She thinks careers are fine for women if they want them, but mas never coveted one. She is fond of her home, but does not like to cook.
 One suspects from the twinkle in her eye that newspaper pictures of prominent women in kitchen attire have something to do with her an- nounced distates for this domestic art.
 Mrs. Good comes from the mid- dle west, where homes are still of paramount importance and where the women, if they do not do the actual cooking at least have a vast knowledge of how to cook. Presi- dent Hoover says the section of Iowa where Mrs. Good is from has produced more good cooks than Paris.
 In the thriving city of Cedar Rapids, with it's comfortable homes and tree lined streets, Mrs. Good was born and lived for years. Her father, c. J. Deacon, who practices law, although 82 years old, still lives there. The Good family nov ed to Chicago seven years ago, but Mrs. Good has been making visits to her old home about every three months since
 Her eldest son, James William Good, Jr., 18, is a freshman at Northwestern University. His broth CT, Robert, II, will live in Wash ington with his parents. James left school only long enough to come to Washington for the inaug- uration.
 So fond were the Goods of their roomy Cedar Rapids home that they kept it during the 12 years that MT Good was in Congress. With their removal to Chicago ii was sold. Still intent on quiet fam fly life, they purchased home in

 Out of the Past
 However, while the demand for the work of modern writers is pre- dominant as usual, the literature of the past is not being neglected entirely. One oldtimer, "Adrionne Lecouvreur," the old French play by Scribe and Legouve, has been filmed by M-G-M, with the title changed, of course, to Dream of Love" and Douglas Fairbanks is continuing the swashbuckling car eer of D'Artagnan in The Iron Mask"
 "Evangeline," neglected by pro- ducers since 1919, when Fox put cut it's version of the Longfellow poetic romance, has appealed to Edwin Carewe, producer, as an ideal starring role for Dolores Del Rio. Carewe asserts that Longfel- low himself cast the exotic Dolores in the heroines play by his des- scription:
 Black were her eyes, as the berry that grows on the thorn by the wayside;
 Black, yet how softly they gleamed beneath the brown shade of her tresses."
 Tho tale is told that the pro- ducer, after much reading of books and manuscripts in search of a fea; ture for the star, was reading Long fellow for relaxation, and as soor as he read this description, decided his problem was ended. Roland Drew is Gabriel" and the com pany will go to the "Evangeline country of Louisiana to film part of the story.

Odd Powers Attributed
to Gems in Ages Past

While In modern times the value of
jewels depends on their use as orna-
mel. and their employment in GER
tain optical and other Instruments,
the ancients attached d far different
significance to them. In their minds
gems were endowed with gifts of spir-
itual and material power and we're
credited with the ability to cure dis
eases, avert trouble and drive away
the demons, which harassed the i'm
aginations OF people of early and me-
dleval times. This conception gave
rise to he wearing of amulets. the
presiding genius of ones fate being
easily carried about in the form of
precious stone.
These ideas, now so ridiculous TO
us, had their origin in the philosophy
of India and are related to the belief
in the RECONSIDERATION of the soul. II
was believed that the soul which at
death, had not reached a state of alb
sonte purity, had to undergo various
transmigrations until it became puri.
fed, and chat consequently ii entered
into plants, animals and even min
era bodies in the process. Therefore,
gems were considered living beings.
Being of Incompatible physical purity,
they were regarded as the highest ex-
preston of natural perfection, and
hence imposed to possess talismanic
and other powerful properties.-Ex

Historic Buildings in
Finnish Town of Turku

Turku was Finland's first capital.
Christianity was first taught there,
and the first Christian converts we're
baptized in the River Aura. The old
est cathedral and the oldest castle in
Finland are to be found in Turku, and
nearly all the historic homes of the
Finnish nobility are in or near the
city.
With the exception of the cathedral
and the castle, modern Turku has
been built since the disastrous fire of
1927. when the old town was almost
entirely destroyed In a blaze that
burned for five days. Both the castle
and the cathedral are grim structures
with little exterior ornament. The ca
thedra has long, narrow vaulted
interior and most of the Immense
treasure which was once kept there
has disappeared.
Part of the castle is now a museum
and is furnished with pieces of old
Finnish furniture. Visitors can still
see the dungeon, six fathoms deep
and black as pitch, where prisoners
were kept. In The great central hall
is a high gallery from which cruel
ruler once had unruly subjects hurled
to the floor below One cell in the
castle is still known as the malefac-
tors resting place. National Geo
