Sore Throat
Is Dangerous

Don't take chances with sore
throat! Slow-acting gargles and
salves are uncertain and unreliablet
Take Thoxine, a prescription made
exclusively for throat troubles. The
very first swallow will relieve the
soreness within Is minutes and its
internal action removes the cause
which might develop into some
thing serious.
Most coughs, especially night
coughs, are caused by throat irri-
tation. Thoxine will stop this type
of cough almost instantly. Safe
children like it. Remember Thox-
inc will relieve sore throat or
throat coughs in Is minutes or
your money will be refunded. 35c,

 The possible effect of such an action probably would be to reduce Russian grain exports by increasing the domestic demand for bread.

SEWARD SKIES RAIN PLANES; FOUR VISIT
 TOWN IN 0NE DAY

All local aviation records were shattered Wednesday when four commercial planes visited Seward. Pilot Vic Ross from Nome; Pilot Harry Blunt from Dillingham;; Pilot Alec Holden from Valdez, and the fourth-well, he was too high in the sky to ask him, but it is believed it was Pilot Gene flying from Cordova to some destination in the Interior. He didn't stop but plowed straight through at about 10000 feet more or less.
 Pilot Ross, of the Northern Air Transport, of Nome, brought an old friend back to Seward. lDr. Rex Swartz, a former associate of Dr. A. D. Haverstock, Stewards own; Dr. Swartz brought a patient, Mrs. Havercamp, who was accom- panied by MT. Havercamp; the flight from the Bering Sea city
 took slightly more than seven
 hours. Dr. Haverstock and Dr. Swartz were to operate this morn ing; MT. Havercamp is remaining
 with his wife. Dr. Swartz and
 Pilot Ross expected to take off
 early this afternoon on the return
 hop to Nome. MT. and Mrs. Hay l ercannp are members of the for mer Bureau of Education which recently was taken under the wing of the Bureau of Indian Affairs. l Pilot Blunt flew Mrs. M. Lowe, the we'll known Westward trader who operates a string of trading hposts throughout the Bristol Bay
 area, and Mrs. Loves sister, mak-
 ing the flight in four hours. Blunt,
 known as the "Bering Sea Eagle" ace of the Pacific International Airways, Inc, took off in his pom toon job at about 5 D. m. for the
 Anchorage base.
 ] Pilot Alec Holden, of the same
 company, came in from Valdez
 with Eric Mayell and Oscar E.
 Darling, cameramen for Hearst Metrotone and Fox Movietone
 News. Holden returned to Valdez
 early in the afternoon for his
 Valdez base.
 Everybody awoke this morning
 with stiff necks.

Three hundred million people in this world will soon know more about Alaska than they ever ex- pected, and they'll have to sit and take it whether they like it or not. They will like it, however, because that's one of the jobs of Eric Mayell and Oscar E. Darling. cameramen for Hearst Metrotone News and Fox Movietone News. They'll select only the best Alaska has to offer and that will be plenty.
 Here in Seward, at the present time, Pathe and Paramount news reels are shown. One theatre can't take 'em all.
 Today the cameramen, whose job carries them about the globe, left by auto for Mile IS where they take a motorboat to Cooper's Landing, thence by auto to the end of the road, hiking the re- mainder of the way to Russian River where the world-famous trout stream will be "shot" for the edification of Izaak Waltons the world over.
 This expedition is purely one of commercial importance and is not promulgated by the Depart ment of the Interior. However, Colonel O. F. Ohlson is extending every courtesy and assistance and to that end has placed his car and flat car, from which scenes along the railroad will be taken as the train rolls on to Fairbanks.
 If any particular Alaska town happens to be "shot" it will be because it just happened, for pri- marily, the cameramen are in the North, for the third time since last June, to obtain pictures of real news value or interest. A stop will be made in Mckinley National Park where they will re- main until they have got every thing worth photographing. Then on to Fairbanks for big mining pictures and after that, a picture of the caribou migration. Per- haps, if arrangements can be made. a trip into the Kenai Penin- sula, Stewards ck-door, will be made for moose pictures. The photographers are also thinking of returning to the coast over the Richardson Highway.
 Mayell and Darling arrived in Seward yesterday by plane, Pilot Alec Holden, of the Pacific Inter national Airways, from Valdez and enroute "shot" Columbia Glacier. MT. Mayell said he had flown over some beautiful terrain and scen- ics in various parts of the world, including the Alps, but never did r he ever see anything more won derful than Columbia Glacier. The cameramen have visited Seward Peninsula and the Pribilof Islands. On the first voyage of the steamship Victoria from Seattle to Nome this season, they took pas sage to Seward Peninsula. They obtained sound and motion pic lures in the neighborhood of Nome of reindeer herds near Teller and of the Catholic mission near Mary's Igloo.

NOTHING WRONG WITH
 LOCAL AVIATION FIELD, DECLARES NOME ACE

elsewhere, I heard that to land on the Seward landing field was the same as writing a ticket Tn the suicide club" remarked Vic ROSS aviating ace of the Northern AIT Transport, who is still alive and kicking after making beau tiful landing on the local field on wheels still had half the length of the field before him.
 Ross flew from Nome to Seward, with a brief stop at Anchorage, in the remarkably fast time Of seven hours, bringing as passen- gers, Dr. Rex F. Swartz, MT. and Mrs. Havercamp. Mrs. Haver- camp was to undergo major op- eration this morning in the Sew ard General Hospital, by Dr. A. D. Haverstock. assisted by Dr. Swartz.
 "The field is one of the smooth est I have ever been on in AL aska," remarked Dr. Swartz, which statement Ross SubStantiated. Golfers, who were on the field playing foursome when the Nome plane arrived, said Ross brought his monoplane to earth as gently as a feather; that prior to dropping onto the field he came in low from the northern end, clearing the tall trees with an ample safety margin, hit the dirt we'll close up, taxing about half the length of the field, then gave her the gun, racing the length of the course to No. driv ing tee where he dropped his an- chors and hove to.
 The Stinson monoplane, six place job, powered with a 30O- horsepower Wright Whirlwind, is perhaps 200 pounds lighter than the average Alaska heavy type of flying craft, thereby relegaitng to the discard the previous impres sion that it would be almost i'm possible for a heavy plane on wheels to land on Stewards new field Ross had plenty of room to spare. In fairness to predic- tions, however, Ross did say that he believed it would be wise to lengthen the field to the end of the present slashing and from tha point cut down few tops of high timber
 Another suggestion m de by Ross. who since 1926 has been fly ing the Nome country, was that the light barbed wire fence on the southern end of the field be so erected that it could be low cred to the ground while ships were using the field; also, that a gentle slope would be fine thing leading from the field to the roadway in case a plane drop ping in from the north and should over-shoot the field. By such an incline and removal of obstruc- tions, pilot would have chance getting back into the air without undue danger. A sort of a sock ct, or box-like affair, could be built for the fence-posts to slip into. In other words the entire fence could be laid on the ground in a few moments. When the ships are away, up would go the fence again to keep the COWS out. What ho! Ross also suggested that the we'll known "sock," the wind guage, should be strengthened out instead of being wrapped around the post.
 Later in the afternoon Ross and Dr. Swartz inspected the former landing field alongside of the ra- dio station, took slant at the beach and absorbed information relative to winter conditions and

CALIFORNIAN
ATTACKS
HOOVER
Says He Assumed Authority
/. In Arranging Postponement
/ of Debt Paying

Resuming his attack on the
international debt moratorium,
Senator Hiram johnson (R. of
California charged today that
it really is Of French design,
rather than American, because
the completed plan represents
what France insisted upon and
got.
The California irreconcilable
was on his feet when the Senate
reconvened at IL o'clock and i'm
mediately renewed his grim fight
against the international pact,
Satirically he asserted:
'tThe crisis was too urgent to
call Congress. Poor, miserable
Congress, which only represents
the people.
'The crisis was too urgent to
inform the people, about what
was going on. But the PreSi-
dent could act, not as he pro
posed, but as France insisted
he should"
In mounting creseendo of irony,
johnson told his attentive col.
leagues he did not care to discuss
''the superior qualifications of
President Hoover, but he would
allow no man to violate the spirit
Of the Constitution and go un-
challenged.
Warned of Dictator
He warned the listening cham
ber that Hoover's pre-Congres-
sional acceptance of the morato-
rum was the first step toward
dictatorship. He said:
"You may believe you have in
the White House the greatest
man who ever sat there, that
he speaks from on high and
that everything he says is
sacred.

F|END HUNTED
IN BRUTAL
CRIME
Marian Mclean CriminalIy
Attacked and Body
Hid in Cellar

CINCINNATI, Ohio, Dec. %
(LN.S. .).-Santa Claus turned
out to be a savage fiend for
pretty blonde-haired 6-year-
olds Marian Mclean. Victim
of a "foreign-looking" degen-
crate who lured her away
when she went outdoors to
play, the body of the child
was found today, cruelty as
saulted in the basement of a
humble tenement home here.
Less than week ago-laSt
Thursday, to be exact-the child
had snuggled close to her mother,
Mrs. Mildred Mclean, and whiSp-
cred of the things she would like
Santa to bring her. /
The .6-year-old child left her
home, jumping rope in hand,
last Thursday afternoon, to play
outside for the first time after q
months illness. 1t was the last
time she was seen alive by her
mother.
Blood smeared on her chubby
cheeks, hair tousled, her little
blue outfit torn and tattered,
Marian was found today after one
of the greatest hunts in the his
tory of Cincinnati, sprawled in
the basement of a house occupied
by Chris Stocker, drug clerk,
and owned by Charles BiSchoff.
Attacked Elsewhere
The child had not been dead
more than IL hours, examination
revealed. Police said she had
been assaulted elsewhere and her
body Secreted in the basement.
Discovery of the child was
made by Bischoff when he went
into the cellar this morning for
kindling. Horrified BiSchoff
summoned firemen who were
searching the neighborhood for
the child.
Marian's abductor was declared
by police to be a fiendiSh moron
and was variouSly described by
the one person, except Marian,
who had seen him, as both "tall
and thin" and "stout and of
middle-height."
Several suspects were rounded
up within a short time after the
finding of Marian'S body, but
nothing was pinned on them.
Police said there was no doubt
the crime had been committed
by a degenerate, probably the
same who on several occasions
had previously accosted children
in the neighborhoods of the Nc
Lean home.
Boy Gives Clue
The only description upon
which police place any hope Of
his capture was given by Julius
Servizzi, 17-year-old neighbor boy,
