AMERICAN
MEET RAISES
DEBT PROBLEM
Partial Defaulting to U. S.
Creates Definite New
Issue Among Latins
Bv T. P. FARRELL
! United Press Staff Correspondent

MONTEVIDEO, Uruguay, Dec.
6.-(UP) .-The delicate problem
of inter-American debts, particu-
larly the millions in defaulted or
partly-defaulted loans to the Uni
ted States, was raised as detl-
mite issue at the seventh Pan
American conference yesterday.
The question was brought up
by Manuel PUG Casaurano, Mex
lean foreign minister, who pre-
senteda series of proposals on
handling the debts which was
featured by a suggestion for a
uniform moratorium of six years
on all payments, instead Of the
present situation in which some
countries are entirely in default,
others are paying in limited
amounts, and a few in full.
The steering committee of the
conference debated the Mexican
proposals for more than two
hours, trying to decide whether
to admit the problem to general
discussion by re-shuffling the pre-
pared program of the conference,
which does not include debts.
The committee was equally d.
vided on details and organization
of the moratorium, especially on
whether it should affect all
American nations, including those
willing to fulfill the letter of

Many Health Seals Must
Be Sold if Pupils Pro-
vided With Milk

An intensive sale of Christmas
health seals will be necessary here
if the Woman's club is to be en-
abled to carry on its free milk
stations in the city schools, it was
announced this morning.
A total of Sc bottles of milk
daily will be required for the STA
tions in the elementary and high
school buildings, and the Woman's
club, assisted by the Junior Wei
fare League. must sell a large
number of seals if the stations
are to be operated without cua-
tailment.
The seals have an interesting
history dating back to Denmark
in the year 1908. The idea OF the
seals was original with Danish
postal clerk. Einar holboell, who
interested his government in the
idea of a sale of stamps at CHRIST
mas time to build a hospital for
tuberculosis children.
In 1907 a story written by
Jacob Riis about the Danish sea!
appeared in the Outlook, and
ono of the magazines readers,
Miss Emily P. Bissel, of Whining
ton, Del, who was Interested in a
small tuberculosis hospital, adopt,
ed the idea and that year raised
$4,000. $780,,
From that time the Christmas
seal rapidly became a natlon-wide
enterprise and since 1910 has
been under the management Of
the National tuberculosis Asso-
citation. Since 1910 the stamp. in
addition to an attractive design,
has borne the double-barred cross,
which is the emblem of the tuber-
culOSis movement.
Splendid cooperation has been
afforded the association and the
.2.O84 affiliated state, city and To-
cal associations by such organiza-
tions as women's clubs, luncheon
clubs, parent-teacher organiza-
tions, labor unions. and lodges, as
well as by hundreds of newspapers
and magazines.

FOR FLIGHT

West Africa, Dec. 6.-(UP).-
Colonel and Mrs. Charles A. Lind
berth took off in their powerful
low-winged monoplane at 2 pm.
GMT today Tuesday, on their
projected nonstop flight over the
South Atlantic to Brazil.
They expected to make the
187O-mile flight in Ia hours.

decided to take advantage of
freshening breeze off the Afri-
can coast. They had waited three
days for the calm to end and per-
nit them to get their heavily
loaded seaplane into the air.
headed southwest over the At.
lantic for Brazil.
Another 200 pounds of bag
gage was sacrificed before the
start in the dark hours before
dawn was tried. The fuel was
cut to a minimum to carry them
over the long miles of wind-swept
Atlantic to South America, but it
was believed they carried suffi-
cient gasoline to carry them 1000
miles-a sufficient margin, bar
ring accidents or storms which
might force them off their
course.
Mrs. Lindbergh sat at the ra-
dio equipment, to keep in almost
constant touch with the station
here, and subsequently with ships
at sea and the Pan-American air
ways stations on the South Amer
lean continent, reporting their
progress through the night.
The German ariplane carrier
Westfalen was understood to be
heading toward the Cape Verde
| islands from Pernambuco, Brazil,
and should be in mid-Atlantic on
the route the Lindberghs were
expected to follow to Brazil. She
is a ship which the Germans have
been using in recent test air mail
flights to South America.
Figuring ID hours for the flight
to Natal, Brazil, believed to be
their objective, the Lindberghs
should reach that port about 4
pm. GMT I'll am. EST. Natal
| is three hours behind Greenwich
mean time, hence they were
looked for there around pm,
local Brazil time. 1t is two hours
ahead of New York time.
Several patrol ships of the
French Aeropostale air mail to
South America were understood
to be plying their regular lanes
on the route the Lindberghs will
follow on the way.
The red monoplane carried both
sending and receiving radio equip
ment, with Mrs. Ann Morrow
Lindbergh as radio operator ard
co-pilot. She is the first woman
to fly the South Atlantic.

Product.

Nature, in her wisdom, has scat
tered over the world supplies of wa
ter that have remarkable medicinal
value. Great spas of Europe are
renowned; equally beneficial estab-
lishments exist in this country. One
of the most famous is that at Min
eral Wells, Tex, where health is
restored to many sufferer. The
water of these wells is highly
charged with minerals. Men can
compound exactly the same thing,
but somehow their efforts fail to
do the work. Nature has reserved
some of her secrets.
Yet in her bounty she has vouch-
safed one grace-She has made it
possible for any one anywhere in
the United States, without leaving
his own home, to get the full bene-
fit of these waters:
She has shown how fifteen gall
lone of this water may be boiled
down in open kettles to a pound of
crystals, and that the addition of
pure drinking water to these crys-
tails later will give again the min
eral water that has done so much
for suffering humanity.
Outstanding among these CRYSTALS
is the product of what is called the
Crazy well-so named from q suf-
terer whose persistence. in using this
water won from inhabitants the
nickname of crazy" before the resi-
dents knew of the wonderful vir-
tues of Crazy we'll water.
And Crazy Crystals are bringing
the virtues of this water to thou
sands of Indiana people. through
