and on the following day, June 23, we
were about 100 miles from Fayal.
1.-The wind shifted to the southeast
reaching to the force of gale, and
dritted us toward the east of Santa
Maria.
From June "a TO 81 a wind of vary
ing force drifted us about. On the
morning Of June ~ the situation was
extremely dangerous on account Of the
wind and sea conditions.
AT dawn on June 20 the aircraft
carrier Eagle found us in the vicinity
Of Santa Maria and took us aboard
The behavior of the aircraft and the
engines was magnificent
1t is reported in London tonight that
the Numancia actually was first spotted
by two planes from the Eagle just when
the aircraft carrier was about to give
up the search. The Eagle had aboard
approximately 80 planes of Bison,
Blackburn and Napier-Dart types. From
dawn to dusk these "eyes of the fleet"
secured the wide sea areas in hope of
finding some trace OF the machine and
her occupants.

that 1t was on one OF the aerial
searches that pilot sighted the sea-
plane floating on the water and re-
turned Immediately to the floating
airdrome," which steamed with all
speed to where the craft had been
located. There 1t took crew and plane
aboard.
Although 1t is understood that Maj
Franco had enough food aboard his
craft to last 10 days, their ordeal must
have been terrible nevertheless, as day
after day they remained unsighted with
their supplies getting smaller and
smaller. It is obvious that for some
reason the wireless was put out Of use
in their descent, for they carried a set
OF fairly wide range, which was never
heard after they landed.
Laconic radiograms received from
the Eagle said nothing of how the
Spanish flyers contrived to keep alive
and successfully brave the rtgors of
the Atlantic for a full week, but when
the facts are known all England eX-

perience unprecedented in the history

The message then pointed out that
Mr.. Stimson had explained how impos-
sibie it would be to reconvene Congress
to consider the matter, since the men,
bers of both Houses were scattered
throughout the country or even outside
the country. 1t is significant that M.
Claudefs message called attention to
the fact that American opinion believes
France has been treated literally in the
Mellon -Berenger accord. The United
States, in effect, renounced claims to a
debt contracted during the war and
limited its demands to the payment of
debts contracted after the armistice.
There is evidence that the French
government is now eager to have the
country understand what concessions
Washington has already made, as a
means OF allaying some OF the existing
opposition to ratification.
M. Franklin Bouillon, who on Thurs
day night precipitated the enthusiasm
which caused the Ambassadors inter-
view the next day with Mr.. Stimson,

the matter a question of confidence.
1t is generally believed that the
chamber will sustain the government.
On Tuesday the chambers finance
committee will begin the preparation
OF measures for the ratification of
the -Berenger and Caillaux-

part of this work will be the reserva

plans to agree to certain reservations to
ratification of the Mellon accord and
to communicate to Washington con-

 MING ARTICLE

EDITORS NOTE The follow ing article was published in the Sunday edition of the New York Herald Tribune, Sept. 8, and is another gem from the pen of Robert Frothingham of New York, nationally known author and lecturer, who needs no in troduction to Alaska or to the residents of this Territory. In deed, since his numerous visits here, it seems to us he is more of an Alaskan than a New Tor ker.
 The splendid article was ac- companied by two photographs one of which was recent pie ture of Seward-by the Alaska Shop land the other a profile map of Alaska set down within the borders of the United States proper giving an excellent idea of the area of Alaska in compar- ison to the States.

GLIDE TO LANDING

Literally arriving in Seward amid blaze of color the Rus sian plane Land of Soviet ap- peared high over the mountains yesterday afternoon at 3:42, near the entrance to Resurrection Bay, darting quietly down and into the gorgeous rainbow which had formed hours previous, circled the city once and in a moment or two landed close to the buoy of the San Juan plant.
 The arrival in Seward of the big, first all-metal plane ever to have been seen here, from Dutch Harbor, was very unusual in that the beautiful and varied hued rainbow was natures own triumphal arch of welcome. Cam eras clicking played an accom- naniment to the staccato blasts from the planes exhausts, as the air-cruiser flashed by with the speed of bullet.
 The fliers from overseas were tired from exactly eight hours battling the clements as rain, wind and fog were en- countered continually though not dangerously So.
 The plane coasted about the specially prepared bouy over which the American flag stream ed in the snappy breeze, then turned shoreward and onto the beach A half-hour passed by before the first aviator came ashore to rig up mooring lines which was accomplished with tn aid Of the hundreds of citizens who lined the beach.
 TWO FLAGS UNFURLED
 Ore of the first acts of one of \ the members of the crew was to unfold the Stars and Stripes and the Soviet flag which was the signal for cheers to ring out from the throng.
 Three hours passed swiftly by before the aviators called it a day and had their big plane anchored to their satisfaction. Willing hands assisted them and Manager Charles Jansen, of the San Juan Fishing & Packing Co., gave them every cooperation pos sible in the way of supplying gear, anchores and dories.
 Numerous interpreters were on hand to help pave the way for conversation, and hearty thanks are expressed for their helpfullness.

The third is a sword cane stained

Knutson and a marine officer, stationed
in that port, had used much per-
suasion on the original owner.
The last is bamboo cane presented
him by a PHILIPPINE commissioner in
washington, who is a close friend.
The sword cane he prizes the most.
He has never been able to learn its
exact history, but his difficulty in get
ting possession of it and the presence
of bloodstains satisfies him that it has
a background.
Representative Knutson long has
made a hobby of collecting canes. He
has had in his possession canes from
almost every country in the world,
gathered during the course OF his
travels.
At present, however. his collection
has dwindled to seven or eight. At

Children's Beauty.

To make a small boy or a small girl
careful of appearances is not to induce
vanity. Children, for instance, should
be taken to the dentist once in four
months, since much of the health OF
the permanent teeth depends on the
health of the milk teeth. Their hair
should be washed about once IN two
weeks (this depends. of course, on
whether they live in a really clean
country or in smoky city,. Every
other time. or every third time, the
scalp should be rubbed with olive oil.
There are dozen ways at least for
child's scalp to accumulate dandruh or
scurf: this is the ideal way to keep it
healthy and clean and give the hair the
fairest chance to grow. II the Oh seems
to darken golden hair, then stop 1t and
coat the scalp with a beaten egg, and
wash this of after it has dried. This
may keep the scalp free of trouble with
out using oil
There is no reason why. a chld's
hands should ever go chapped. The
hand lotion the mother or grown sisters
use can be used on child's hands after
they've been given the last bedtime
washing. Chappad knees, and rough
knees, can be rubbed with cold cream
at bedtime; this keeps the skin smooth.
Heels and instep often chap in very
bad weather; cold cream is a cure for
this.
If small girl is taught to take care
of her finger nails, they will certainly
be the better for it when she grows
up. Also, 1t may keep her from the
nervous habit Of biting her nails, which
so many children have. She can be
taught to keep them trimmed nicely, to
clip away loose bits of skin and to use
"a cream around the edges OCCASION
y. also to scrub them free Of stains.
( ilildren should be taught the value Of
