an extraordinary occurrence in that
country, where political issues in

page space, even when an election
campaign is not in progress.
Englands anxiety over the fate
of the little boy was nearly as keen
as Americas. The news of the alb
duction caused a sensation in Mex
leo where the baby's grandfather,
the late Dwight Morrow, had been
ambassador from the United States.
A stream of kilograms was sent to
the Lindberghs from their many
friends in Mexico. President Ortiz
Rubio, Foreign Secretary Manuel c.
Tellez and ]. Reuben Clark, who
succeeded the late Senator Dwight
Morrow as ambassador, asked to be
kept closely informed of any de-
velopmentS in the search for the
kidnapers.
The abduction was brought home
to Mexicans all the more wildly be-
cause of the fact that it had oc-
CURED on the third anniversary of
Colonel Lindbergh's arrival in the
Mexican capital on the visit before
his last trip to Mexico, in the days
when he was courting Anne Nor
row in the romantic atmosphere of
Cuernavaca.
Just as the news of the kidnapping
of the Lindbergh baby circled the
globe within a few hours after it
had occurred, so had the news of
the birth of this baby been an item
Of worldwide interest Charles
Augustus Lindbergh, Jr.. was born

anniversary of the birth of his
mother, the former Anne Morrow.

w. Morrow of New Jersey. She
was twenty-four years old the day
her son was born. The baby was
born in the Morrow home in New
Jersey, in which his parents were
married May q, 1929.
The first "official" announcement
Of the baby's arrival came from the
late ambassador, who, an hour after

legislation to curb this crime the
chief topic in the national legisla-
tive hall. but state legislatures be-
gan taking measures to increase the
state penalties for abduction.
But more striking than the i'm
mediate action taken by the consti-
tuted authorities of the law for
dealing with the criminals who had
stolen away the Lindbergh baby
was the instantaneous reaction of
private individuals everywhere to
the crime. 1t is doubtful if ever be-
fore in the history of America have
go many millions of her citizens felt
the personal obligation to aid in a
gigantic manhunt-in spirit if not in
reality.
Aviators, who mad been buddies
Of the famous flying colonel, imme-
diately placed themselves and their
planes at his disposal to aid in the
search. Thousands of amateur de-
tectiyes were busily, engaged In
watching for "clews" which might
aid the authorities in catching the
malefactors. In New York the
clergy Of three religious denomina-
tions Joined In broadcasting a
prayer for the safe and speedy re-
turn of the Lindbergh baby-a
prayer which found an echo in the
hearts Of millions.
Nor was the excitement over the
case confined to the borders OF the
United States. In far-off China, the
kidnapping was told in big headlines
alongside the news of the Chinese
defeat on the Chapei-Woosung bat
tlefront. The French press, to
which Colonel Lindbergh has been
hero since his conquest of the At
lantic in 1926. was filed with the
story of the crime. Germany for

cal atmosphere arising from the
presidential election campaign ant

for the parents of the lost baby.

with Miss Marie Cummins. the Nor
row family nurse, were in attend
ance to aid doctors.
And So within few moments
after Ambassador Morrow had in
formed his friend, the news was
given to the world through press
associations.
In Lindberghs usual taciturn
fashion, only the mere fact that his
son and heir had arrived was an
nounced. But from more talkative
attendants these important facts
came on that first day:
He weighed seven and one-half
pounds. His hair was blond and
curly. He looked Just like his
father"
In the four days interval between
June % and the day the birth GER

as to what the infant would be

calling his son after his father-in-

During his first few months of
life, when his parents were making

Eurrow to Ston Fires

For the purpose of heading off for
est fires, a piece of mechanism has
recently appeared which is reported
to be effective. 1t is a powerful trac-
tor with a wide plow fixed in front.
The plOw is used for constructing fire
lines to prevent the spread of forest
fires. 1t can make a furrow 10 inches
wide and will throw out the dirt 16
inches on either side, making a fire
line almost four feet wide. 1t will
accomplish in one hour work that

Where Men Are Scarce

A serious shortage of husbands is
suggested by the publication of the
voters lists for the nine parliamen-

Cheshire, England. In each district
the women voters outnumber the
men, and the total excess of women
over men in the county approaches
10000.

cieveiand,[ o. Oct 29.-That smaller colleges with over-am- bilious football schedules rareiy get anywhere is strikingly brought out by two schools in this city.
 They are John Carroll and Vest ern Reserve.
 In past years Carroll has booked such schools as Davis-Elklns, Ouantico Marines, Grove City, Western Maryland and Mercer. Through the scheduling of these teams, Carroll's record has been mutilated year after year by de- feats. ,
 This year, however, it is differ- ent story. The school has sched- ,iled only two teams outside of the state, Adrian, Mich, and Centre. The first team it has defeated, and Centre stands as the toughest game on the schedule. All the rest or the games on the schedule are played with state schools. and the record of Carroll should look lot better at the end of the year.
 Western Reserve, too, had hankering for the bigger team Tn football for the past few years. It would take a drubbing from Pitt Carnegie Tech, Purdue, W. and J., Syracuse or some big school in the east every year. It's morale drag ged down by those defeats. it would go through the rest of the season with it's Ohio Conference foes in more or less of a haphazard fash ion.
 But Reserve has cut down. It played Carnegie Tech this year, but it's pretty sure that Tech, too, VIII be cut out some day.

 Elmer Schaake, Kansas quarter back, carried the ball over for the lone touchdown of the game early in the fourth quarter after drive begun in the third and maintained for AZ yards. His attempt for point from placement was wild.
 Kansas threatened to score again as the game ended. In a-desperate attempt St Louis hurled passes from their own goal line and lost the ball to Kansas on the St Louis 5-yard line.

SMITH ASKS TAX
ON BEER, URGES
BOND ISSUE

NEW YORK, April l U.S0.
Former Gov. Alfred E. Smith last
night demanded that the Federal
Government put forth a large
prosperity bond issue for public
works to relieve unemployment.
Smith spoke over WEAF and an
NB.C. network. His tax pro-
gram suggestions we're outlined
as follows:
1. Every possible economy in
Government departments.
2. Reduction Immediately Of
the number of overlapping and
duplicating bureaus, boards
and commissions.
3. Make up a third of the
revenue deficiency of the next
fiscal year by additional taxes
recommended by the President
and the Treasury and Origi-
nally agreed to by most of the
House, these being taxes which
are not in dispute.
4. Another third be met by
q tax on 4 per cent beer.
5. The final third be met
by issuing bonds for not less
than 10 years "tO pay for
next years Federal cOnstruc-
tiOn work"
6. There be careful cOnsid-
Grafton of a bond issue for
additional Federal construction
work on projects already au-
thOriZed.
Of the present tax situation,
he said:
81 regard the solution arrived
at by Congress, beyond the
S5OO,OOO,OOO of new revenues
agreed to by the House several
weeks ago, as illogical.
"The appropriation for public
works, public buildings, ship con-
StructiOn and aircraft amount
to $500, 100000, or about one
thi the amount required to
balance the budget. All this is
for permanent improvements
and in times of stress such as
now this amount should be
financed by sale of bonds"

acquit.
