 route to New York

NEW YORK, June 10. = The Swedish seaplane Severidge late last night was forced to land either on the eastern coast of Iceland, more than 100 miles short of the ob- jective, or even farther east on the Atlantic.
 A radio message from Capt. Alpin Nuremberg and two companions, said a landing was made at 11:23 p. m. Sunday or 6:23 p. m Eastern Standard time.
 The message did not say where the landing was made.
 Reykjavig was the objective where the seaplane Severidge was bound from Bergen, Norway.
 It is reported aid has been asked.
 The gasoline line burst.
 The seaplane, a Junkers mono plane, left Stockholm early Sunday morning on a projected flight to New York and intermediate points,
 A stop was made at Bergen for a few hours where two extra passen- gers were dropped.
 All seemed to go we'll until after passing the Farce Island, midway to Iceland when headwinds were encountered.

NEW STEAMSHIP RECORD EXPECTED
 WHEN BREMEN MAKES MAIDEN TRIP

maintain a high speed in spite oi the bulk which provides roomy spacious quarters for her 2,000 pas sengers.
 The second wholly new feature of the vessel, the tremendous sweep of open space in it's social rooms running almost the full length of B deck without interrupting par titions, also is due to the construc- tion of the tunnels, or rather of the smoke conductors or pipes car rying the smoke from the engines up to the tunnels.
 Instead of passing directly ur through the center of the vessel as is the usual method, these big pipes are constructed so that they bend to pass up the sides of the ship and then back to the funnels above. thus obviating the necessity of covering them with partitions on every deck through the body oi the ship.
 A total of 600 first class passen- gers can be carried by the Bremen or up to 800 if all the extra exten- sion or pullman berths are used Another 800 can go second class 200 tourist class, and 600 third class, making a grand total of nor mally 1000 or a maximum of 2,2o0 If occasion arises, and the new tourist class proves especially popu- lar, it may be expanded to take care of 800 by adapting part ol the normally second class space.

BREMEN, Germany, June GA record run of six days from Bremen is expected of the Europa's sister ship. the new four propellered transatlantic giant, the Bremen now ready for her maiden trip to New York June Is.
 Her giant size has compelled the North German Lloyd to reorganize completely it's docking facilities ir New York and move from Man. haitian to a Brooklyn pier, the larg- est in the harbor. The vessel mea- sures 9l0 feet in length, with 8 975-foot beam.
 It is the big vessels tunnels more than any other factor that give hei characteristic appearance, marked ly differing from that of other great liners. Their unusual short ness. in the first place, lend her ar air of lying very deep in the wat CT. The tunnels are only two ir number, moreover, the unnecessary third and fourth, ordinarily fakec for appearances sake, having beer omitted.
 Both tunnels, built with the or dinary rounded surface in front but tapering to a V-shaped point be- hind, are constructed according tt a principle familiar to the physic: laboratory but altogether new ir shipbuilding.

HAPPY MARRIAGE QUITE SIMPLE;
 .e PASTOR FORMULATES FEN RULE

z BIRMINGHAM, Ala, June 10.- The most carping critics of mar riage as an institution are those too indifferent to work out a fea- sible plan for marital success and adhere to it.
 This is the opinion of Dr. J. E Dillard Baptist pastor and widely known writer-lecturer.
 By their own actions critics un- lermine the foundations of happy married life, and when their homes come tumbling down they blame marriage" Dr. billiard says. "The number of divorces in proportion to marriages would be materially lowered if the woman would put as much time into homemaking and effort to make her husband happy as she does in trying tc find reasons for divorce"
 Dr. Dillard listed 10 command ments for housewives, which he said would make marriage success full, if observed. They are:
 Thou shalt remember thy mar riage VOWS, and act as thou think est other married women ought to act.
 "Thou shalt determine to make thy marraige a success and be willing to pay the price thereof Study, plan, work, pray. give and forgive if thou wouldst make suc- cess of thy marriage.
 "Thou shalt learn to work ir double harness' Study thy hus- band, his likes and dislikes; stress thy duties rather than thy rights
 Thou shalt keep myself attrac. tive in person and manner. Look thy best, be thy sweetest and never nag. Never say cutting things about folks, especially his folks, ano most especially his mother
 Thou shalt watch the little things. Keep the house clean; cook his favorite dishes; see that buttons are sewed on and the mend ing done.
 Thou shalt sympathize with thy husband in his trials and help him in his business. Put myself in his place; don't expect luxuries anc comforts ye cannot afford. Be eco nomical but not stingy.
 Thou shalt make thy home sc attractive that thy husband will moi want to go to his club or the smoker for a little peace and com fort.
 Thou shalt never compromise thy convictions of right and duty but he careful not to mistake thy selfishness Id stubbornness foi convictions.
 Thou shalt not pity myself nor talk of thy ailments unduly nor let others persuade you that you arc having a hard time. Your success will be worth all it costs and, more
 Thou shalt be a Christian every day at home as well as at church and in society, and when thou hast made a mistake, back up and try again."

BIRDS FLY OYER OCEAN
 TO SUMMER IN ALASKA

WASHINGTON, June 10.-The original trans-Pacific flyers, bristle- thighed curlews, soon will be on the wing from Hawaii, winter head quarters for another summer in northern Alaska. The birds have been seen to arrive in the north in the latter part of May, summer ing there until midAugust. Then they start southward over the ocean to Hawaii.
 Science has yet to study the birds, for little is known about them despite the fact that they
The Daily Alaska empire., 1929-06-10

were discovered more than 140 years ago.
 Ornithologists do know that the good reputation of the bird as flier is not followed by an equally meritorious life on land.
 Organized banditry is practiced by the curlews, working in troupes in securing nesting grounds for eggs of other birds.
 Nesting habits and breeding range of the curlews have not been studied. It is believed that breed- ing takes place in the extreme northern or northwestern Alaska.

 Carelessness on the part of peo- pie and not the open winter was the cause of the various epidemics and general sickness last season, he asserts.

DE MO POLITICS N 0 W BUBBL
 DINNER TONIGHT
District of Columbia Or ganization Meets Tn
 Honor of Shouse

WASHINGTON, June 10.-Demo- cratic politics boiled and bubbled today in Washington for tonight the Democratic organization in the District of Columbia gives a dinner in honor of Houett Shouse, recently chosen by John Raskob, as his chief lieutenant.
 Opinions differ as to the signi- ficance of the meeting. Some re- ports give the dinner in the aspect of a nation affair.
 Other reports are that prominent party members, opposed to former Gov. Alfred E. Smith leadership, will make it the occasion to express publicly disapproval of discontinua- tion of Smith control by not at tending the dinner. On the other hand official re- ports have it that the dinner is strictly local affair Raskob and Shouse will naturally be prominent speakers.
 Acceptances to the dinner have been resolved from Senator J. T. Robinson, Smiths running mate, Senators Overman of North Caro- lima, Mcclellan and Tyson of Ten nessee; Ransdell and Broussard of Louisiana, and Harrison of Mis- sissippi.

SIR ESME TO STAY
UNTIL FEBRUARY
No Indications Here That
British Ambassador Is
to Be Replaced.

Although there have been rImors in
some quarters that the Labor govern
nent of Great Britain is casting about
for a new Laborite Ambassador to the
United States to succeed Sir ESme How
ard, there are no Indications in diplo-
matte circles here that Sir ESrne will
relinquish his present post before next
February. BY that time he will have
passed the age limit of IS years, accord
ing to the British civil service regula-
tons, and will be retired automatically
from the diplomatic service.
Sir Esme'S five-year term as AM
baSsador expired last February, and it
was then extended for one year in order
that he might complete his diplomatic
career in the United States.
While it is possible that Ramsay Mac
Donald, the new British prime minister.
may desire to replace Sir ESme before
next February no intimation of such
an intention has reached Washington.
The British Ambassador does not ex-
pect to submit his resignation merely
because of the change in government
at London.
Under Former Regime.
Sir Esme served as Ambassador here
aAANSA viz SONCA VI ISdIIl-
say Macdonald, and when the premier
visited this country about a year ago,
he was the guest of the British Ambas-
sador in this city They have always
been on friendly terms, and the new
prime minister in the past has indi-
Gated that he favored the employment
of trained diplomats
The appointment of Sir Esme as
Ambassador at Washington in 1924
was made at the time when England
was about to undergo the experience
of its first Labor government. Sir
Auckland Geddes. former British AM
baSsador, resigned shortly before the
fall of the Baldwin government on that
occasion.
Lord CurZon was still at the foreign
office, and when it was decided to name
regular diplomat for the Washington
post Sir ESme was lected because of
his outstanding record and because of

his former service as counselor Of
embassy at Washington.
The appointment was confirmed by
the Laborite government at that time,
although there were some Liberals and
Laborites who criticized it merely be-
cause they felt that the Baldwin should
have left the appointment of the new
Ambassador to the incoming govern
ment in 1924.
Sir Esme has had a long and dis
tinguished career in the British diplo-
matte service. He entered the service
by competitive examination in 1885 and
has served the British government in
many important posts. He has always
taken pride in calling himself an "old
diplomatiSt" as contrasted with those
who had distinguished themselves In
political rather than diplomatic life.
