ENGLAND REELECTED BY FEED
DEALEDS ASSOCIATION

At the annual meeting In Tacoma o
short time ago the Feed Dealers of
Washington again chose Chas. England
for their president, rejecting the high
regard In which Mr.. England is held by
the feed and grain trade In general.
The annual meeting was by far the
largest In attendance and most sue
cessful in point Of interest this
association has ever held. Over 100
feed and grain men, largely from
washington, but with visitors from
neighboring states attended the con-
vention.
The Feed Dealers Association has
been In existence for three years and
has resulted In improved conditions
not alone for the dearlers but for the
consumers as we'll.
President England in his message
at the annual meeting expressed the
spirit Of the organization in the state
ment that business would prosper
only as their customers succeeded, and
that common problems must Of neces-
sity be more satisfactorily solved
through organization than by indiyidu
al effort.

ELECTION MARCH 18TH

Possibly at no time has the election
Of Port Commissioner meant SO much
to the residents Of King County out
side of Seattle. For no explainable
reason tho property of the Port Of
Seattle, which should be self support
ing, is costing the taxpayers Of King
County over s373,0o0 annually. Under
the administration Of Geo. Lamping,
during the past nine years we, the tax
payers, have had to payour share Of
q loss Of $3,372,5eo. This has been with
equipment superior to that owned by
private concerns which have been able
to show a profit over the same period
of time. From the statements Of those
who have known him for years Horace
P. Chapman would seem to be the
man destined to remedy this situation.
He is eminently fitted by previous
experience to inject present day busi-
ness methods into the administration
of port affairs. Lamping has had nine
years in which to prove his inability
and 1t is no more than fair that Mr.
Chapman should receive the support
of those who would like to experience 9
reduction of taxes.
AS rule the voting for a Port Com
missioner is rather a lukewarm affail
ON the Island, but conditions have
reached the point that If taxes are tt
be reduced every intelligent vote
should make the effort to get out ane
express himself in favor Of it by hi
vote.
The other issue before the people o
the Island is in the village Of vaslion
w. D. Garvin is to be voted on TO
commissioner for Water District Nc
10. He has served the district faith
fully and well, and is again proving
his public spirit by consenting to be
candidate.

LITTLE HURT

The Naval training plane MY-3,

Heath, stationed on the same
ship, testing the plane, escaped
with minor injuries,
Haver, trying a wide loop, lost
contrc! when ais stick jammed
and the ship made a spiral dive.
It struck a tree, and the two avi-
ators probably owe their lives to
that.
The crash was Witnessed by

PLANE CRASHES

GIRL FL|ER
Victim Worked as Waitress.
To Get License as Pilot;
Sought Transit. S. Record

SAN DIEGO, Calf, Sept. 49,
Crashing down out Of the foggy
early morning skies, Ruth Alex
ander, youthful San Diego aviatrix
who held two records for her air
plane exploits, was killed instantly
today a few minutes after she
had kstarted projected coast-to-
coast speed flight.
The airplane struck Just north
Of San Diego Bay, 8 miles from
Lindbergh Field.
Miss Alexander hoped off
from Aqua Caliente, Mexico. at
1:10 o'clock this morning and
landed at Lindhergh Field for a
final check Of her motor,
After she had gayly waved fare
well 10 field attendants and q
few friends who attended her
tske-off, the girl scared into the
thick swirling fog, headed for the
East.
NSAAAGAA AAt' NNe@ANA @Cp
Miss Alexander was to have
met her parents, who live at
Irving. Kan, on her arrival to-
night at Wichita, her refuelling
point, and Col. and Mrs. Charles
A. Lindbergh had agreed, accord
ing to her manager, to have met
the girl at, Newark, N, j., touaor-
row night.
Having won a beauty contest
emitting her to a few lessons in
flying, Miss Alexander took jobs
as waitress by day and beauty
parlor attendant by night. Thus
she earned enough money to COM
plete her flying instructions.
Less than a week before she
qualified as a pilot, Miss Alex
ander pushed a plane $4,000 feet
into the air to set a new women's
altitude record. Last month she
hoped from Canada to Mexico
over the States of Washington,
Oregon, and California, to set a
16-hour flat record from Van
couver, British Columbia, to Aqua
Caliente, Mexico.
Fog Held to Blame
That Miss Alexander was in
stantly swallowed up in impene-
trable fog was apparent according
to aviators, who pointed out the
crack-up occurred northwest of
Lindbergh Field, whereas Miss
Alexander's proper course would
have been nearly due east from
the field.
The plane was believed to have
been descending for an emergency
landing when it struck a low hill.

Charges that leaders Of the Ma

politics because of It's victory in

made today by certain factions Of

press, which admittedly maintains
agents in the ranks Of the Fascist
party, Adolf HitleE. National So
cialiSt head, has called a confer

officers belonging to his party In
Munich and Berlin.
The conference, it is charged, /,
will be aimed at establishment of
s'cells" within the army and police
to maintain neutrality in each
organization in the event Of a
coup d'etat.
In addition, it is charged that
a'storm divisions" Of National So

trolled by the Fascist Minister

Gotha, a Fascist sympathizer, as
indemnity for properties seques-

The tactical aim of the Fas-
cists, it is charged. is a coup
d'etat from above and civil war
from below, with the complete
overthrow of the republic as the
result.

Chemists Confirm Finding
On "Jake Paralysis"

After months Of research the
United States Public Health
Service has reached a definite
determination Of the cause for
ginger extract paralysis which
swept the South and West some
time ago, it was learned today.
In part upholding former find
ings, health bureau scientists de.
cided the wave Of paralysis from
drinking bootleg concoctionS made
of ginger was caused by tri-ortho
cresyl phosphate of about two per
cent concentration, one of the
ingredients. This substance, it
was found, if administered to
animals will produce exactly the
same kind Of paralysis as that
caused by "Jaks."
The Washington times., 1930-09-18

M. I. Smith, senior pharmacolo
gist of the health service, said:
The action Of the substance
was unforeseen and follows no
known chemical law. Probably
the chemical was used in the
preparation Of the bootleg
product because it would be
difficult for the drinker to dis
tinguish it from normal ginger
constituents"
Officials said the public health
study now would be directed at
seeking a cure for the new form
Of paralysis. 1t was thought that
since the nature Of the paralysis
and its cause are known, medical
science should have no great
difficulty in preparing an anti
dote,
