Vessels Comb Waters
Around Azores in Vain
:. Search For Lost Plane

HoRTA, The Azores. Junet "a
WN.s.).-Numerous craft continued
t. comb these islands today in an
apparently fruitless search for the
spanish aviators, Major Ramon
Franco and his three companions,
who are now two days overdue on
the first leg Of, their transatlantic
flight attempt from Cartagena,
Spain.
The Portuguese gunboat Zaire
arrived here today after Q fruitless
search.
Officers OF the vessel said no
trace Of the missing plane had been
sighted, although q large area over
which the plane Is believed to have
passed was searched thoroughly.
Ships Lack News
other ships in the Azores waters
were similarly without news Of the
missing airmen. ~
Residents here have not given up
hope that the fliers win be found on
some secluded island near which
they may have been forced to land.
Plans for a huge celebration welcoIn.
ing them were held in abeyance but
not given up.
One hopeful note here was the re.
ceipt Of a wireless message from the
Italian steamer Dreldon, which
stated an airplane had been heard at
SAT a. m. Greenwich meridian time
saturday morning GOAT p. m. Wash.
ington time friday, when the ship
waa about 200 miles southeast Of
the Azores.
. Weather Was Misty
From the sound Of the motor, the
officers Of the ship Judged the air
paane was hound westward.
The weather at that time was
misty, with occasional showers and
D northerly wind.

ROYALTY ORDER
BRINGS ROW

LONDON, June "a Q.N.S.).-
Captain the H norab'le Rupert
Keppel, aristocratic British army
officer. third son Of an earl and di.
rect descendant Of Arnold van KEEP
pei, Of Holland, has a grievance.
He thinks It q shame that baro-
nets should be given badges to be
worn round the neck on appropri.
ate occasions while the son Of an
earl-social superior to a baronet-
has nothing by which he may be
distinguished from the common
herd.
Unfortunately the Honorable Ru-
pert chose a newspaper with an
extremely large and democratic cir.
culation in which to ventilate his
grievance. The result has been that
many have risen to charge him with
snobbishness, manners unbecoming
a member of the British aristoc-
racy, and so on.
Captain Keppel's letter appeared
in the public press after King
George had authorized all baronets
to wear badges suspended from rib.
bons on appropriate ceremonial oc.
casions.
"In view of this additional honor
now conferred upon baronets," the
captain wrote, II cannot help re-
marking how paradoxical is the eti.
quette which ordains that Sir Mar.
maduke' and Sir Lancelot' should
be fulsonely acclaimed as such
whereas their social superiors, the
honorables Of the country, have to
be content with Mister or Yes
SIR as the occasion demands.
Within a few hours Of the ap-
pearance of his letter in print, re-
tired colonels, enraged baronets ana
others were flooding the newspaper
office with sarcastic letters of pro.

WHERE'S THE ECONOMY?

Last spring we learned that the office of the Territorial vet ernarian for testing cattle for tuberculosis and that of the of flee of fur animal veternarian had been combined.
 At that time we raised the question of the advisability of such a move We now begin to hear the rumblings of dissatis- faction both from fur men and cattle breeders.
 The cattle men feel that vet ternarian entrusted with this i'm portant work should be man of experience in his line of work. Not only do they want to feel htat if animals are found that react, that they are truly reactors, but they also want to feel that anil mals failing to react live been properly tested and all so-call- ed animals are healthy
 Alaska cattle owners have giv- en the law providing for the test ing of cattle undivided support Therefore we feel that a veter- marian proficient through exper- fence of continued practice in the line of tubercular pathology should be employed. On the other hand there is a feeling among fur animal raiSers after they have striven for years to gain the creation of the office of fur an inal expert which job pays a good salary with per diem ex- pense account-that they have been let down by some one.
 It appears as if the Governors office is endeavoring to make an economy record.
 The cry of fur raisers for years has been that they were over whelmed with problems with which they are unable to cope without expert advice. The fur industry, ranking third last year of Alaska's resources, is too val uable an industry to the pioneers of this Territory real devel- opers of the country-to try and cut corners on. Likewise the in spection of dairy herds and other cattle. The health of Alaskans are at stake in the latter.
