Following is the explanation of
Ripley's Believe 1t or Not" which
appeared in Tuesdays Times:
The Belt of Death-In 1909 the
non-magnetic ship, Carnegie, built
entirely without iron to make it
impervious to magnetic interior
ence, discovered that there is an
area in the South Pacific ocean
completely devoid Of oxygen. This
area, about 100 miles wide, called
the Belt of Death, was located at
a depth of 300 feet, extending
downward at least 1000 feet. No
living organism depending on oxy-
gen for life can exist in the Belt
of Death. 1t bars the creatures of
the deep sea as effectively as
though it were constructed out OF
some impenetrable and indestruc-
tible metal.

on a wooden bench and grasps his

back, rises on his toes and de-
livers a powerful stroke upon the

beneath the skin of him who got
slapped, the blow is considered to
have carried the proper amount
of dynamite, and the aggressor is
declared to have won the game,

POLITICAL LEADERS
SPOKE FRANKLY TO
SECRETARY HURLEY
Advised Cabinet Member Corn
Belt Will Bolt Hoover on
Present Basis
FENCES BADLY DAMAGED
Party Aspirants For Other Of
fees Fear Growth of
Roosevelt Sentiment
FENCES BADLY DAMAGED
BY GEORGE d. MANN

Sioux City, Ia, Sept. 17.-Political
leaders who gathered at Huron. S. D.,
to confer with Secretary Patrick Hur-
ley frankly told him that none of the
corn belt states could be held in line
for Hoover unless the whole campaign
appeal was changed from one of gen.
eralities to definite program. The
West, he was told, was tired of the
old Republican credo and expected
something more constructive than
Hurley offered at Huron.
A leading South Dakota publisher
who was closeted with Hurley for
more than an hour told him not only
were Hoover's fences badly demolish-
ed In this normally Republican Sec
ton but that many Republican can
didates for state and congressional Of
fices feared they could not survive
the fast-growing sentiment for Frank
lin D. Roosevelt. A landslide for Roo
sevelt, they pointed out. would bene-
fit all Democratic candidates.
Here in Iowa, the situation has not
crystallized as In some of the corn
belt sections. The drift is to Roose-
welt but not as marked as In South
Dakota. Senator L. j. Dickinson of
Iowa, who was one of the keynoters
at the national Republican conven-
ton. is being taken to task by several
leading Iowa newspapers because he
reversed his position on farm relief.
An editorial in the Sioux City journal
says in part:
Dickinson, 1t will be recalled, was
the raging lion who was going to
Kansas City the 1928 Republican
conyention) to jam the Mc-Nary-
Haugen bill down the throat of the
Republican party. Arriving there he
turned from lion to rabbit and joined
in the Hoover parade, where he has
been ever SINCE"
Corn belt leaders tried to get from
Hurley a promise that he would re-
turn to Washington as fast as his
airplane could carry him and tell
just how widespread the revolt here
is against the Republican party and
the impression among farmers that
the 1923 platform promises of tariff
parity have not been kept. They
urged that President Hoover leave the
seclusion of the white house and the
Rapidan and come into the West with
a new message. with challenge to
his critics and a resounding plan, if
he has one, that will bring back the
political prodigals to the party OF
their fathers.
Hoover May Respond
Press reports from Washington in
dictate that President Hoover may take
the stump in answer to Roosevelts
attacks through the agricultural West
and the Pacific coast. Scouts have re-
ported everywhere an ovation for
Roosevelt. His message is getting
across and in rebuttal the Republican
spell-binders, mostly Hoover yes
