Troopers And Many Police Search All
 The Atlantic Coast
Searchers Spurred on to Greater Efforts Because the Baby May Be Ex- posed to Elements and Being III It Would Be Fatal

Troopers and police search for the kidnapers extended over the entire Atlantic coast. The search 'ers were spurred by knowledge that exposure may add to the child's peril.
 Baby Lindbergh had been suf- fering with a cold. He had been doctored several days.
 Mrs Lindbergh. who is again an expectant mother. was prostrated by the tragedy, made even more poignant by her fears that the child would suffer from its illness and perhaps from its kidnapers.
 Mrs Dwight W. Morrow. mother of Mrs Lindbergh, arrived at the Lindbergh home early this morning to be with her daughter. She zao- tored down from her home ok Englewood and declined to con- ment on the Kidnapping as she en- tered the big stone house.

 Dr o'Hara's message to the state posts called for an immediate state- wide search for all suspicious persons and places. He said In part: "This Is an actual call to arms. Consider the kidnapers the same as enemy spies. .."
 While there is no indication that the kidnapers are in this state or will enter 1t, such preparedness as the state and local police, plus this veteran aid, affords fnsures speedy capture of the ring of criminals whose exploit last night has aroused the entire nation.
 Incidentally the Veterans of For eign Wars as national organiza- ton are backing the proposed leg islation now before congress to make kidnaping a federal offense.

SAMPLES SEEM INDICATE THAT FALLS CREEK |S
 FINELY M|N[RAL|zED

Confirming the oft-repeated as Sertion that the mountainous dis trict of upper Falls creek near mile 24 on the southern division of the Alaska Railroad is one of the finest mineralized zones near Seward, Elmer McNamee, and Francis liar rison returned to the city Saturday from a prospecting trip in that sec tion bringing with them free-mill- ing gold-bearing ore showing an estimated value of $150 per ton together with highgrade samples containing gold plainly visible to the naked eye estimated to run better than $500 to the ton.
 The vein from which samples were taken is about three feet wide and is composed of bluish- white quartz.
 The find was made five miles east of the railroad near the headwaters of Falls creek adjacent to Mel Hor- ner'S mine on the Skeen-Lechner mountain.
 Three claims were located and recorded Monday at the local of- flee of the U s. Commissioner.
 The property is reported ideally situated and is easily accessible over an excellent forestry trail ex- tending from the railroad direct to the ground.
 A splendid waterfall located within 100 feet of the vein affords almost unlimited power.
 The lOcators will make an effort to develop the ground immediately.

ACID FOODS AND FOODS THAT
PRODUCE ACID.

A reader asks just what foods she
should eat as she has been told by
her Doctor that she has not enough
acid in her system.
Another reader says he has been
troubled over year by what his
doctor says is too much alkali . :.
and details some symptoms which do
not belong in health column. He
asks if l will please give him a list
of foods to reduce the alkaline excess.
A third has been able to eat all
citrus fruits until the past year. Now
the least bit of such fruit causes her
to break out with large itching
punches. What can she do to correct
this? Will kindly tell her which
foods form acid?
Still another customer requests lists
of % acid foods, CD Starchy foods.
and reveals no hint as to what he
intends to do with them.
Well, now, let's get down to brass
tacks and no fooling. I know how
fond people are of diet lists. Readers
have harried me in season and out
for more articles about diets and
dieting. 1 suppose if wanted to be
accommodating I might copy out a
few cut and dried diets, making
trifling changes so the original auth
ors could not say lifted them in one
piece, and distribute them to all and
sundry. I am told it is a very popu-
lar game. But I'm not going to play
it,
So in order to save space, time,
labor and the good will of our Gus
toners, I'll set down here briefly all
we know about this acid and alkaline
business.
First, the most acid foods-citrus
fruits-are among the best to oppose
acidosis, to keep the blood alkaline
to prevent the urine from being toe
acid.
Second, there is too much confu-

A FOrward-LOOking Policy

In recent address, a prominent
railroad executive outlined a con-
structive policy for his industry to
meet present and future problems.
The important elements are:
Equalization of railroad and motor
transport through identical govern
mental control; elimination of rail-
road facilities that are not justi-
fled by available traffic; coordination
of motor transport with railroad ia
cilities; railroad consolidation on a
broad scale: financial reorganization
Of over-capitalized lines; further re-
auctions in railroad operating costs.
This is forward-looking policy
that the government and rail man
agements as q whole would do we'll
to consider. In justice to the pub
lie, as we'll as the railroads, all forms
OF interstate transportation should
be viewed the same by the Federal
government, and subjected to the
same treatment. The suggestions
for railroad consolidation and reor-
ganizat:on are simply good business.
We cannot afford to let the rail-
roads go bankrupt. It is up to gov
eminent to do whatever law-making
is necessary to give them fair break
in the transportation field-and
then it's up to the railroads to work
out their own salvation.
