DEAD SPOT'.IN
SEA is FOUND
Devoid of All Life Because
of Air Absence.
BIZ United Press

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, July 90. - A
dead spot" in the tropical waters
of the southern Pacific, which al
most is entirely without oxygen and
thus is devoid Of fish and other sea
life, has been located by scientists
plumbing the ocean in that area.
This strange phenomenon was dis
covered by. the Inflated ship, Car
negie, the non-magnetic vessel
which was destroyed by fire in west
ern Samoa last November. 1t was
described III radio address Mon
day night by o. w. Torreson, execu-
tive officer OF the scientific vessel.
The dead spot is over hundred
mile wide, extending a great distance
east and west, and begins about
three hundred feet below the ocean
surface, Torreson explained. 1t ex-
tends downward for 1000 feet, he
said.
"All living things need oxygen, in
Guiding Jlle fishes and animals
which live il the ocean, he said.
I'VE can imagine then that this
region without oxygen may prove to
be an effective barrier to the wan
behring's of those creatures which
live in the lower water levels"

GAS TAxLEAKS
STILL POSSIBLE,
BOBBITT ADMITS
System Under Which State
Lost Thousands Being
Kept in Use.

State Auditor Archie N. Bobbitt
today admitted that the same sys-
tenn under which the state lost
thousands of dollars In gasoline
taxes through bootlegging. still pre-
walls in the gasoline tax collection
department of his Office.
He further admitted that no large
oil company's report ever has been
audited by his department; that the
oil companies involved in the boot
leg gas scandal never had had their
books audited, and that the few
companies which we're audited by
Bruce E. Cooper, never have been
rechecked.
This is in spite of the fact that
Cooper, who resigned because of the
bootleg gasoline scandal, is expected
to be indicted because Of his con-
duct while in Office, according to
Attorney General James M. Ogden.
Way Bills Check
About our only check on the
collection is through the companys
record of tank car shipments and
the way bills of the railroad COM
pany," Bobbitt explained.
He admitted that no effort what
ever is being made to check on gas
cline shipped by truck, but the de-
partment depends on the honesty
Of the dealer making the report"
At one time a plan was an
nounced whereby Indiana and ILL
nois we're to cooperate in halting
the interstate truck shipment of
bootleg gasoline.
But we never have heard any
thing further from Illinois" Bob
bitt said, land I guess they do not
intend to cooperate with u.s.
Bobbitt has three field auditors in
the department now. The chief, who
succeeded Cooper, is Rossen Funk,
friend and political worker of Bob
bits, from English, Ind, the au-
ditor's home town. Funks training
to head this field force was re-
ceived as lieutenant of state police
for the last seven years.
KidwelI on Job
Another recent addition to the
field force is Earl Kidwell, Gary,
one time on the city police force
there. His appointment was die
tated by j. Glenn Harris, veteran
member of the house of representa-
tives from Gary, Bobbitt gave him
a letter for credentials and told him
to go to work in Lake county, al
though he didn't explain much
about what this work" is to be,
according to Kidwell himself.
The only one in the field with any
experience is Herman Dolen, Bar
gerSville, who has been with the de-
partment several months.
Prominent oil men, who are hon.
est and pay the tax, contend that
1T is the easiest thing in the world
to beat" and that nothing short of a
certified public accountant could
check the books and find the miss
ing payments.
what is to be done about it?"
Bobcitt was asked by The Times. He
replied, in substance, his depart
ment is going to limp along as at
present, letting the truck bootleg
gers go.

MANILA, P. l., July 29.-Feeling
against Nicholas Roosevelt, recent
ly appointed vice-governor of the
Philippines, became intense today

gathered at the shore of Manila
bay and hurled copies Of Roosevelts
books into the sea.
The Filipinos claimed the writ

LISTEN WORLD!
Choose a Job That Hurts
By Elsie Robinson

no you want to stay young.
~ active, eager and magnetic?
Want to keep your enthusi.
asms and your place in the Big
Parade? Want to be as vital
at 80 as you were at 16?
It can be done. It has been
done. There's one way Of do
ing it and only one:
Make life hard for yourself!
Keep life hard for yourself!
Choose a jo,. that hurts!
This, of course, isn't the sort
Of a job most Of us are looking
for. Anything but! We want
a soft snap easy hours
good pay and no in
reference or difficult demands.
We are trained to desire that
sort Of q job when we're young
Sters. Constantly we hear Of
lucky people" who have jobs
like that. #, eventually, we
land such q job for ourselves,
we think we're sitting pretty.
But rs q matter Of fact, we
couldn't be sitting worse.
There's nothing that will put
you out Of the running quicker
than q soft snap.
Minds need difficulty In their
schedules just as bodies need
roughage In their diets.
You can't keep physically fit
without exercise, fresh air, cold
water, coarse wholesome food.
You can't keep mentally fit
without conflict, criticism, dan
ger, disappointment, failure,
humiliation and constant, ever
lasting pressure. Grit in your
food keeps fat off your waist

becomes just so much compla-
cent beef-on-the-hoof.
II you want to keep young
and fit, pick a program that
hurts.
And this applies to marriage
as well as any other career.
We have an idiotic theory that
marriage, to be successful,
should be perfectly happy. But
nothing could be worse for the
average human than to find a
mate who always adcres and
protects, and never criticiZes
performance. This Is particu-
larry bad for women who have
little contact with the world,
save through their husbands.
Such women invariably become
conceited, selfish, intolerant
and thoroughly miserable.
An easy life Is never a happy
nor a healthy one. It has no
perspective nothing to slim
ulate 1t nothing to make
it proud. The most petted and
protected people are always the
most peevish.
Keep hustling that's the
first law Of life for every living
thing. Don't let yourself be
comfortable. Don't let yourself
feel safe. Constantly set up
more difficult and dangerous
tasks for yourself. Never let
yourself say: well, now I
can take things easy" The
minute you begin to take things
easy, that minute you're cooked!
When you stop doing you start
dying.
You may not know you're dy
ing, stranger, but it's a cinch
that everyone else will.

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY Dr.. Louis z. Bisch-

MIDDLE life is rather q
AVA vague term. Usually we
think Of those in middle life
as persons between 20 and so.
It Is not the number Of the
years, however. that constitute
middle life, nor youth, nor old
age for that matter. There are
those who already seem old at
IS. Others at 20 are alert, gay
and vigorous.
Nevertheless, as q rule, the
older we become the less mus
cular exertion is INDUCED in.
The result of this is a lessen
ing Of the needs Of the body so
far as food intake is concerned.
The machinery, in other words,
no longer requires as much fuel
as when the individual ran for
cars, INDUCED In tennis, or
danced until dawn.
After middle life, therefore,
there is usually q tendency to
overweight. We eat as much
as ever-or perhaps even more
and as the purse fattenS we
tend to eat more luxuriously.
richer and more involved
dishes.
Anyone who begins putting
on the pounds in excess Of
what his normal weight for
his age happens to be should
first of all ask himself or her
self If the meals are excessive
In amount. II SO, cutting down
the quantity q little may keep
the weight where it ought
to be.
Next, attention should be
given to the balancing Of the
meals. Care must be taken
about over-indulgence in meat.
Plenty Of fresh fruit should be
eaten. Green vegetables should
constitute an important ele-
ment, for every lunch and din.
ner.
What is also highly impor.
tant is the water taken in.
Not with meals, mind you, but
between meals. After middle
life kidney elimination is Of
first Importance.
The amount Of water be.
tween meals varies, Of course,
according to taste and the sea-
sons. But a glass on arising,
a glass on retiring, two in the
forenoon and two ~ the after
noon are none too much for
the average person.
A certain increase Of weight
is natural, however, as we
grow older. There is rather q
steady rise up to so or so.
A man five feet six inches
tall weighs about 145 pounds
at 80, $50 at 40, I53 pounds
at so and about 152 pounds at
go.
Sudden increase Of weight
also sudden decrease-Should
always be investigated.
Your mental and physical
energy output Is what largely
determines weight. Make the
food consumed balance with
these F~ctorS until the -'aiqEt.
according to standa~' - is

Special mention should be
made Of the teeth as we grow
older. Many persons neglect
the care Of their teeta, and it
is astonishing how Edany go on
for years with several teeth
missing.

THE MARRY
GO-ROUND
BY Helen Rowland

A Little Barney, Now and Then
TF1E only kisses for which q
l. man ever feels any lasting
gratitude are those that a wo-
man bestows on the Barney
Stone.
When two people marry, it
proves that they admire each
other-but that is no valid rea-
son why they should consider
it unnecessary ever to mention
the fact, again.
The man who treads on your
vanity, before marriage, will
probably tread all over your
SensibilitieS, your amour propre
and your self esteem, after mar
riage, without even suspecting
it. ~
A man who wants to keep his
superiority-c mplex should
choose a wife as a woman
chooses a wallpaper. He should
pass up the snowy patterns for
something modest, quiet, restful
and non-committal which will
make him stand out in brilliant
contrast.
Never believe a man who tells
you that he loves you, and then
begins trying to improve" you.
A man in love is so dazzled by
your charms that he cannot
see q defect in you. even with a
microscope.
In marriage, courtesy is much
more comforting than candor;
and a flattering safe-blower
with a tender Zine" may make
a pleasanter household COM
panion than a critical banker
with a reform-complex.
A woman's enemies never
strike her when she's down.
They merely step aside and LOOK
gleefully on while her friends
do it.
It is difficult to say which
does more to spoil a wornan's
winter in Florida; the thought
that her husband may be lonely
and miserable while she is away
or the thought that he may
not be.
OF all hard words ever uttered
or penned,
The hardest are those of q
candid friend!"
