FRANCE TAKES
PLANE HAVEN
in CHINA SEA
EXPLORERS REPORT CORAL
ISLANDS COMING INTO
FRENCH POSSESSION HAVE
LITTLE VALUE

PARIS. Aug. 3.-France has
added 247 acres to her colonial
empire by taking possession of
seven tiny coral islands in the
China sea between French Indo-
China and the Philippines,
Explorers report they are of lit
tie value commercially but that
they surround lagoons which would
afford harbor facilities for sea-
planes, submarines and small naval
craft.
Isles Long Unclaimed
The islets, harboring thousands
of birds and handful of Chinese
fishermen, are marked on the maps
as Tempest Island, Itu Aba, Loaf
ia, Thi Tu, Amboyne Key and
Twin Isles
They had been unclaimed by
ether powers since their discovery
in 1867, although japanese had
tried to exploit guano deposits on
Itu Aba in 1925. The French
found traces of this old industry.
Formal proclamation of the is
lands as French territory was
made by sailors from the naval dis
patch boats "Astrolabe'i and cal
erte." They hoisted the. French
flag on each sandy mound, pre-
scented arms while buglers blew
"The Colors," and buried bottles
containing the statement that
henceforth the islands belonged to
France.
Turtle Meat BATTERED
Human beings were found on
only four of the islands. On Temp
est, Thi Tu and ''the twins" Chi
nese from Hainan welcomed the
sailors. They seemed to be living
happily in the midst of banana
and coconut trees, sweet potato
fields and turtles, whose flesh they
dried and sent to the mainland in
exchange for rice.

GARNER MAY BE
HEARD SOON ON
: REPEAL ISSUE
yIcE-PREsIDENT NOW BACK
AT OLD HOME IN TEXAS EN-
JoYING REST FROM cAPI-
tai ACTIVITIES
By HERBERT PLUMMER
(Ry AasocInEed Pressl

WASHINGTON, Aug. g.
Word drifts up from Texas that
Vice President Garner is CLASS
catching and misunderstanding"
down home. far from the storm
and strife of the capital.
Indications are that his ease
will be interrupted only once
within the next few months. "Pa"
Ferguson, former governor of
Texas and husband of the present
one, on his recent trip to Washing
ton, minated that Cactus Jack"
will mount the stump some time
in the near future and say some
thing to help the cause of repeal
of the eighteenth amendment
along down in the Lone Star state.
However, that's "Pa" Fer
guson's view. The vice president
hasn't said yet whether he will or
not.
Garner has given the impression
since March a that, after all, the
detachment from governmental af-
fairs that is necessarily the lot of
the vice president, is not so irk-
some to him.
One rather imagines he is en-
joying it.
Seems To Like II
Much was said and everybody
speculated as to how the ruddy-
faced, energetic Texan would re-
act to the vice presidency. About
everyone agreed that he would
find It difficult to settle down in
his new Job after the exceedingly
active life he had led in the house,
especially during the last two
years when he was speaker.
But it wasn't long before it was
noticed that the vice president
was absent from the senate cham
Der and his office on afternoons.
Usually those afternoons when
the Washington baseball team
was playing on home grounds.
And perhaps if you were around
the ball park on one of those
afternoons you would see the vice
presidential car. with the medal
lion seal Of office on the side,
roll into the reserved enclosure
back Of the club house on time for
the game.
With two or three old friends.
and sometimes with O red-haired
little senate page from Arkansas,
out would step the vice president.
The first stop was the peanut
stand where everyone in the party
loaded up. From there they
would go to box near home
plate along the first base line.
Stepping Out
Mr.. Garner has found other
ways to roam on pleasant after
noon.
His physical presence at senate
sessions all the time is not neces-
sary. As a matter Of fact. no
vice president has ever attempted
to be religious in his attendance.
For one thing, he can do nothing
but sit and listen. The only time
he speaks is when he rules on some
point Of parliamentary procedure.
So usually the vice president
designates some senator to occupy
the presidents chair when he gets
tired. Sometimes as many as
half a dozen senators win preside
during one afternoon.
II the necessity for his presence
in the chamber arises. he is al
ways available. Even If Garner
were in his box at ball game. he
could be reached and be at the
capitol within Is minutes.

1000 Late
100 CLASSIFY
BY RUSSELL KAY
Secretary, Florida Press Association

| Well we seem to be havin' an
awful time tryin' to crowd the
| job of Collector Of Internal
Revenue for Florida on to some
unfortunate victim. First we, tried
to slip one over on Herbert Eel
KEEL, editor of the st. Augustine
Record but Herb said: "No
thanks, I'd rather die natural
| DEATH"
Then we tried to sneak up be-
hind G. III. Reeder of Miami and
hit him over the head with it
when he wasn't lookin' but G. H.
ducked out from under and once
again we found ourselves runnin'
around in circles with nice fat
juicy piece of pork and gettin'
just about as far with it as we
would at Yiddish picnic.
Then somebody handed Mr..
Roosevelt slip of paper with the
i name E. j. Larson on it and bein'
anxious to get the monkey BUSH
! ness over with and back to his
National Recovery program,
Franklin don't even bother to ask
i Mr.. Fletcher or Mr.. Trammell, or
anybody else, he just goes ahead
and appoints Mr.. Larson.
| And now Mr.. Trammel is all
hot and bothered and says it amt
nothin' short of grand "Larsony"
/ to appoint Larson. We hope Mr..
| Larson don't feel hurt.
| The national indoor sport right
now seems to be writin' codes.
| After listenin' to the Presidents
| speech last week lot of folks are
i just beginnin' to realize that there
really is such a thing as a Ma
tional Recovery Act and that its
provisions apply to everybody.
just how the thing is goin' to
work out or what is goin' to hap
pen, nobody seems to know. Any
/ how it's done one thing already,
| it's got lot OF folks thinkin'
about somethin' besides the de-
preston.
| While the Government Code
| tells us how many hours we can
work and what salaries we must
| pay, it fails to explain just what
we are supposed TO use for money
or provide means Of speedin' up
! collections To point where our
i income will at least balance our
I. outgo.
/ The problem of putin the act
into operation is a gigantic one
and its only chance for success
rests on the willingness Of every
individual TO play the game ac-
eortlln' to the rules and work
/ shoulder TO shoulder with the other
fellow ali the way through.
| II is not the intention of the
government TO handicap or place
unfair regulations on any husi-
ness. At the same time il expects
all OF as To SO adjust our affairs
as TO provide the maximum
amount Of work at IA living ware
TO the end that the national! buy
ing power will be Increased and
the amount of unemployment
sharply reduced.
| The plan calls for 100 per cent
loyal cooperation. Under the able
leadership Of the President and
those adm him in the program
we can rest assured that a }axs
and equitable enforcement Of the

RIO DE JANEIRO, Aug. g.
Delinquent income tax payers were
relieved when BraziPs provisional
government cancelled all arrears
prior to 1881. The tax law had
been protested on the ground that
city residents bore an excessive
burden, the 100000 inhabitants
of this capital paying 65 percent
of BraziPs total income tax.

HARE IN RACE

BALTIMORE, June 30.-Johns
Hopkins Hospital physicians again
have demonstrated that the race
is not always to the swift.
The physicians made their lat
est scientific contribution yester-
day before 1000 witnesses when
they staged a race between a
hare and Panic, tortoise which
had won the right to represent
the turtle speedsters by winning
over other elimination contest
victorS.
The hare, true to the tradition
set by Aesop's historic hare, made
a flying start and then stopped
within a yard of the finish line
to rest and sniff at the blue rib
bon about it's neck.
Panic, the turtle, set his course
and stuck to it until he crossed
the white line, completing the
course in As seconds.
PorcheS and windows of the
hospital we're crowded by fans.
Betting proceeds were given to
the social service bureau.

The cabinet of Chancellor Adolf
