BY CAPTAIN CHRISTIAN HALO ne tbn pnIpprntroN

(Sk1ppcr or the .. .. beiinOlrHJ Aboard S. s. Belmoira. Sept 22. l-UP)-We picked up the wreck ed transatlantic plane Esq and it's crew in latitude 45.26, longi- ture 54.31 yesterday afternoon.
 The three aviators, Willy Rody, Christian Johanssen and Fernando Costa Veiga, were saved after they had been in the water 15S hours. Costa Veiga had an injured leg. The other two were in good con- dition, although they were much exhausted.
 Johanssen says the plane failed to reach it's destination because of engine trouble about 30 minutes after signaling the s. S. Pennland l CThe report from the Pennland was the last that had been heard of the Esq until Captain Hald's message.)
 The flyers said they had sighted only one ship during the inter- vening days they were adrift. Ii passed within one kilometer but did not see them despite their sig nals.
 They had given Up hope and did not expect our ship to see them as they were several miles away whom we passed.
 Rody, Johanssen and Costa Veiga seemed almost certain of reaching their destination, New York when the Pennland reported them just off Cape Race Sept IA. They had covered the distance from Lisbon sxH t-nnnrtnd en route over the Azores. Although they were far north of the straight line route to New York there apparently was enough fuel in their tanks to reach New Yorl. by midnight that night or l a. m. Tuesdey, Sept IS.
 Small crowds gathered at New York airports where they might be expected to land. Fields were flood Lighted all night long to aid them in landing.
 But hour after hour passed with out any trace of the gray junk CTS monoplane. The next day planes and coast guard cruisers made an extensive search of the entire New England coast. l Eastern airmen hoped the men had landed safely at some point on the coast and would communi- cate as soon as possible. The plane itself carried no radio. | But after three days passed, still without word, hope for their safe ty was virtually abandoned, since lit seebed impossible they could remain out of touch with com. munication lines, or adrift at sea that long.
 Apparently, however, the empty tanks of the Esq served as ex' cellent floats.

IMPORTATION OF
 THE BEST WINES
Former President of New England Council AdvO- Cates Such a Thing

Boston, Sept 22-UP)-Legal- izing of sale of fermented liquors to allow importation of high grade wines, on which heavy taxes would be paid by the rich, was advocated to-day by John s. Lawrence of Boston, treasurer and former presi- dent of the New England council
 From a legalization of the sale of fermented liquors, including fancy wines imported from the other side, I see great moral benefit, a saving in the cost of en- forcement, and sizeable volume of added revenue in the rich source of taxation provided" Lawrence said.

New York; Sept 22.-CUP)-De- cision to reopen the London Stock Exchange tomorrow under normal trading conditions aided a recov- cry on the New York stock market to-day after an irregularly lower opening.
 Prices which had been carried down fractions to points came the previous close before the end of the first hour.

The market for sterling was quiet. All other foreign exchange quotations were nominally quoted at wide concessions from the pre- vious close. Canadian dollars were at a discount of Sk per cent.
 Grains firmed up in Chicago while cotton advanced few points on the New York Cotton Exchange. Trading in stocks was far below that of yesterday in volume. Sales in the first half hour totaled 400.- 900 shares. contrasted with 1,100,- 900 shares 'n the corresponding per- iod yesterday.

cupfuls Of sugar, with a tablespoon
full of lemon juice Freeze until a
mush, then add the whites of four eggs

If pancakes stick to the griddle, try
rubbing ii with the cut side of a raw
potato instead of greasing if. This
usually works when grease fails.

Carried Souvenir of
Somme Fourteen Years

The true stories of strange war
wounds are legion, but one of the
most curious concerns a Kintore man,
John Garden, who is employed as a
gardener in Inverurie. Scotland. Mr..
Garden served in France with the
Fourth Gordons, and was wounded
by shrapnel during the battle of the
Somme on August IS, 1916. near
Guillemont Quite recently. in the
course of his work. Mr. Garden had
occasion TO make a heavy lift and
felt a severe pain in the back of his
hand beneath the bone of the middle
finger. The pain became worse. and
his hand swelled so alarmingly that
he had to go to hospital. An opera
ton was performed. and a rifle bull
let an inch and d quarter long and
a quarter of an inch in diameter was
extracted. 1t had been lodged all
these IA years in the hand. beneath
the bone, until the sudden wrench
had loosened it from its position.
