For Japan there can be no turning

Best Remedy for
Cough Is Easily
Mixed at Home
NoCookingl NoWorkI Real savingl

You'll never know how quickly a
stubborn cough can be conquered, un-
til you try this famous recipe. 1t is
used in more homes than any other
cough remedy, because it gives more
prompt, positive relief. It's no trouble
at ali to mix and costs but trife.
Into a pint bottle, pour 212 ounces
of Pinex; then add granulated sugar
syrup to make a full pint. Syrup is
easily made with cups of sugar and
one cup of water, stirred few mo-
ments until dissolved. No cooking
needed. This gives you four times as
much cough medicine for your money,
and it's a purer, better remedy. It
never spoils, and tastes fine.
Instantly you feel it's penetrating ef-
feet. 1t loosens the germ-laden phlegm,
clears the air passages, and soothes
and heals the inflamed membranes. This
three-fOld action explains why it brings
such quick relief in severe coughs.
Pinex is a highly concentrated COM
pound of Norway Pine, used for gen
erations for its healing effect on throat
membranes. It 10 guaranteed to give

STRAUSS WALTZ
WINS ENCORE
At CONCERT
BY RONALD THORNE

by .8ONALD ThOhNE
DR.. Hans Kinder, who evidently
likes waltzes himself, since he
usually incorporates one in his
Sunday programs, found that his
audience at Constitution Hall
likewise had a prediction for the
gay Viennese works of Johann
strauss, so much so that insist
ent applause forced him to play
for a secont. time wine, Women
and Song"
The ;ational Symphony Or
chestra did itself proud yesterday,
and DR.. Kinder chose a most
delightful program for the enter
tainment o" the WaShingtonianS
who, in spite Of inclement weather,
nearly filled the hall. The most
ambitious work Of the afternoon
was the symphonic poem, Death
and TRANSPORTATION" by Richard
Strauss, which has been heard
here several times this season
and last, but which has rarely
been played more effec lively than
by DR.. Kinder and his men. The
rendition of this famous work by
the National Symphony brought
out it's full values, both musical
and emotional, and it was fol-
lowed by prolonged applause.

DIVORCE To END
TRAGIC TALE
Of MASS|ES
BY DOROTHY DUCAS
International News Service

Thalia Fortescue Massie was
IN route today to Reno C d.
vorce her husband, Lieut.. Thomas
II. Massie, Naval officer.
This sentence, quiet-surfaced,
tells one Of the most poignant
melodramas of the generation, a
story Of tragedy, bloodshed, 10y
atty, and now futility, too.
It tells the tale of love between
husband and wife that withstood
the horror Of a brutal attack
almost costing the young woman's
life, the aftermath of revenge,
the shadow Of death for her
mother, her husband and two en-
listed men, acquittal and final
4renzied flight from Hawaii.
Has Not Stood Years
But the attachment between
the two apparently has not stood
the placid years that intervened
after the Hawaiian episode, the
details of which rang around the
world.
Mrs. Massie has lived for some
time past with her grandmother,
Mrs. Charles Bell, widow of one Of
WaShington's wealthieSt finan-
eierS. Her husband, attached to
the U. s. S. Oklahoma, has sell
dom been seen in the National
Capital. The last time he was
h Los Angeles he refused to
affirm or deny the report there
was going to be divorce.
It was but three years ago that
the young naval officer and his
wife were dancing together at a
little social gathering just outside
Honolulu. Three years since the
slender Thalia wandered out in
the dark for a breath of air, was
seized by five natives, attacked,
and left half-unconsciouS beside
the road.
Attack0r Shot Down
Almost that short time ago did
her mother, Mrs. Grace Hubbard
Fortescue, Lieutenant Massie and
two naval enlisted men, E. j. Lord
and Albert o. Jones, take ven
eeance into their own hands and
shoot down Joseph Kahahawai.
whom Mrs. MaSSie identified as
one of her aSsailantS.
The subsequent trial, MaSSie's
defense that he could not remem
Der anything once he had the gun
in his hand, the verdict Of guilty
and the prison sentences, fol
lowed in an hour by Communication
and speedy sailing from Honolulu
caught the worlds attention for
weeks. It was an international
episode that resulted in wide
spread investigation of moral con
ditions in Hawaii, where, it was
declared, wives of naval officers
were not safe.

CANAL WORK

Construction operations on the
Pilot Knob sector of the All-Amer-

porarily, it was learned here this
morning, broken part in the huge
shovel which is used in the excav-

cease for the time being. This
work is being done by the Griffith
Company, Los Angeles, and start

A new part has been ordered for
the shovel and is expected within q
day or two after which operations
will be resumed. AS soon as the
work permits another shift of men
will be added to that already en-
gagged on the constructor job, it
was also learned.
Officials here and in Yuma are
still awaiting word from the Gala

date on which they will start ex-
cavation on the 80 mile stretch of
the canal for which they were
awarded the contract. Some equip

operations but actual work on that
stretch has not as yet gotten un-
