RIGGING GONE ASKS
HELP SECOND time
SOS Sends British Warship
Again to Scene; Calls May
Be Publicity Hoax

San Francisco. Feb. 1l.-~-An
SOS call from the American 'adven-
ture ship" Seth Parker. sent the gray
British cruiser, H. M. 8. Australia.
through gathering South Sea storm
early Monday to the rescue Of the bat
tered old schooner.
It was the second time In - hours
that the cruiser, with royalty aboard.
had Steered toward the Parker on q
similar errand Of mercy. The United
States navy also went into action. The
naval radio station at Honolulu said .
navy tug had been ordered to leave
the base at Samoa at $50 q. N. Homo
lulu time moon, eastern standard
time) for the stricken craft.
The SOS climaxed day Of mystery
and skepticism concerning the schoon-
er's condition.
At dawn Sunday, the cruiser came
alongside In response to trouble, only
to find the smaller craft In apparently
good shape. The cruiser was told It's
assistance was no longer needed"
SOS Il Hours Later
The Australia continued on her way
after sending out q skeptical report on
the Parkers trouble. The SOS came
about II hours later.
On board the warship Is the Duke
Of Gloucester, third son Of King
George Of England.
Estimated on the basis Of the SOS
flashing "a hours after the two vessels
parted company, the cruiser should
not take longer than 10 to IL hours to
retrace its course.
Chief claim to fame Of the adven-
turing schooner Is the fact its master,
Phillips H. Lord, Is q widely known
American radio character. He uses
the name "seth Parker" In his presen-
tation.
Lord Monday wirelessed ships listen
ing in he was discontinuing his SOS
because OF the Australia,s help. How
ever, he asked them to leave the lower
frequency on the end Of their radio
bands clear.
500 Miles From Samoa
The point from which the SOS was
sent Is about 800 miles east Of the
Samoan islands and almost as far west
Of the Society islands. The Australia
was approximately $50 miles away
when It turned about.
The Parker reported 1t was drifting
southeasterly, In message picked up
by Mutual Broadcasting company IN
Honolulu.
Only q few hours after the Australia
pulled away, Lord began sending his
new trouble messages.
Then came the SOS at ! q. m. (east-
ern standard time) Monday. Seth
Parker in distress and requests assist
ance," read the SOS. Rigging gone
and leaking badly"
Seconds later the Australia answered
it was on the way.
"Okay, thanks" replied the schooner.
A short while before the actual SOS
came, the Parker warned: II we lose
contact it is q sign we have gone over.
Previous distress calls and the report
of the Australia gave rise to wide BE-
lief the trouble was being staged" BY
Lord as q publicity stunt. London ex-
pressed annoyance that the Australia
had to 70 100 miles out Of her way at
q cost Of $500.

the tSSNl&GuISs AdUy UellSvSQ IL
would produce for the first time .
two-thirds vote In both houses, plac-
ing in effect immediately whatever
type Of liquor legislation is passed.
These three types Of proposed IL
quor laws were being studied:
I. State.owned liquor stores
operated through . liquor COM
mission.
2. Municipally-owned liquor
store4 with the state deriving
IT. revenue from stamp taxes.
3. Pftvately-owned and oper.
ated retail liquor stores, With the
state taking IT. revenue and
profit - wholesaler distributing
% the smaller units.
Senate subcommittee were study
ing the first two types Of liquor Leg
islation, while . house subcommittee
favored, at the present time, the
proposal to make the state q whole
sailing agency.
Local Option Storm Center
The question Of local option-either
municipal Or county-may be the
storm center Of. dissension on what
ever liquor legislation finally comes
into the legislature.
In one Of the two senate proposed
bills local municipal option Is pro-
vided-a second proposal would set
up . county distribution system, with
state-owned liquor stores operating
In each county seat.
Members Of the house temperance
committee have expressed opposition
both to tho idea Of local option.
county or municipal, and to the pro-
posal Of setting up state-owned IL
quor stores In county seats.
Opposition Is based on the express
ed thought that local option would
not be effective, and would be . bone
Of contention at city elections.
County seat liquor stores would
not get the liquor TO the people"
house committee men aver, MAIN
tanning the proper method Of dis
tribution would be through privately
owned liquor stores, with the state
as the source Of supply.
Propose Centralized Warehouses
Liquor warehouses by the state in
various centralized sections Of the
state, from which liquor would be
dispensed to retail stores. A state
liquor stamp, for the purposes Of
protecting the public against tam
pered packages would be posted on
each bottle or other container at the
warehouse.
Details Of all bills still remain to
be completed: it was held possible
by legislators that differences may
b ironed out In committees. with one
combined bill presented.
In the senate Saturday came the
first response to acting Governor
Walter Welfords earlier plea for
emergency tax legislation.
Two Per Cent Sales Tax
A bill calling for . two per cent
sales tax patterned after . retail
sales tax IN Iowa was reported fav-
orably by . senate subcommittee on
taxes and tax laws.
The committee will determine Mon
day whether the bill will come out
with q recommendation for passage.
It was estimated the proposal would
bring the state approximately a.
100000 annually. Fifty per cent Of
the income would 60 to the state
equalization fund and SO per cent
to the real estate bond interest fund.
Both the liquor proposals and sales
tax are expected to be presented ct
another meeting Of the legislative
super committee" scheduled late
Monday with Governor Wexford. At
that time, leaders Of various factions
are expected to thresh out minor diff
ficulties surrounding the proposed
legislation.

D|R|GIBLE NEED
Of j. 8. URGED

A suggestion that lighter-than
air craft be granted the same sup
port the Administration proposes
for the Merchant Marine in its
new direct aid bill was laid before
the Senate Commerce Committee
yesterday.
Charles A. Stillman, Of Akron,
vice president of the Goodyear
Zeppelin Corporation, cited a re-
port of the Federal Aviation Com
mission that an American dirigi-
BILE in transatlantic service would
obviate need of an American
queen of the seas to meet the
challenge of Frances Normandie
and Britain's Queen Mary.
Builders of the Navy dirigibles,
Akron and Macon, Mr.. Stillman
said his company was mot un-
mindful of their unfortunate loss"
but added:
proponents of airshipS feel
these unfortunate experiences
are not without their practical
value and in this case should
by no means deter development
of the airShip industry"

ADVE RISEN EMF
Why You Should
Never Cut a Corn

If you are troubled with corns or cal
louses, do not run the risk of blood poi
son by pairing them. Statistics show
that many infections have occurred from
this seemingly innocent practice Of par
ing corns.
Simply go to your druggist and get a
few cents worth of Ice-Mint, rub lit
tie on any painful corn or callous. I'M
mediatey the pain will disappear and
in a short time the corn or callous will
loosen and lift off easily with the fin
gers-root and all-leaving the sur
rounding skin in a healthy normal con-
dition.
This, together with the fact that Ice
Mint overcomes such affections as sore,
tired. aching, puffed or burning feet and
makes them cool, easy and comfortable,
| is probably responsible for the hearty
endorsement given it by druggists.
To rid ones feet of every hard corn,
soft corn, corn between the toes or pain
full callouses in such a pleasant and safe
way, makes it seem the height of folly
| for anyone to pare a corn and people
are warned to stop it.

District Attorney James P. Hart
said he planned to demand the

scribing the weird double murder
executed on a lonely stretch Of
county road is miles west of here.
Contents of the statement were
held secret.
Plan Sanity Test
The prosecutor said:
IF an examination shows
him to be sane, we will prose
cute Pierson to the extreme"
The youth, who insisted he had
killed his parents "for revenge"
was said by DR.. Wooten to be the
victim of hallucinations that his
parents had Disseminated against
him. He had wanted to become
"a great scientist" the physician
said, but declared his parents
wouldn't send me to school" He
continued:
"He believed his parents ia

held an imaginary resentment
which was based on his mis-
taken impression they had dis

His failures in school he
blamed on his parents. He
wanted to obtain his fathers

DESCRIBES KILLING
When shown the bodies Of his
parents in the morgue Pierson
showed his first sign of emotion.
He blurted:
''This is terrible"
When returned to his cell the
young slayer reentered his spell of

he shot himself to support the
story of a robbery, hung in a
sling.

and beneficial effect upon the en-
tire northwest region 1t is being
referred to as the eighth wonder of
the world and certainly when COM
pleted it will present most magni-
ficient spectacle-five million acre
feet of water being held in subjec-
ton by the most massive concrete
structure ever built.
The dissipation of energy develop
ed by the falling water is one of
the most perplexing engineering
problems connected with the work.
Then when we contemplate 1885,
900 acres of desert land transformed
into a highly productive region we
begin to get some idea Of the con-
templated development. To Illus
trate what this means, the total
acreage under irrigation in the state
of washington is approximately
594, 1865 acres. The value of farm
products Of the Yakima valley alone
totals $4,000. 900 per annum.
The Grand Coulee reservoir will
irrigate twice the total acreage now
under irrigation in this state and
will provide cheap power to pump
water upon thousands Of acres Of
additional land along the Columbia
and Okanogan rivers.
It contemplates a long period of
development. The cultivation of
these lands will create market for
millions of feet of timber, for an
enormous amount of building ma
terial, hardware, iron, steel, copper
paint and oil, farm machinery,
manufactured articles, and every
conceivable kind of merchandise
necessary to the growth of the new
and virgin territory.
Much of the power developed will
be used locally on these lands. Even
so, study should be made of ma
tural resource utilization and such
study is provided for and will be
undertaken immediately by the
Northwest Regional Planning Board
under the direction of Marshall
Dana, chairman.
The region tributary to and q
part Oh the Columbia Basin includes
the four northwestern states, Mon
tana, Idaho, Washington and Ore
gon, an area as large as the original
German Empire.
The population supporting capa-
city of this territory can only be
guessed at, but conservative eStl-
mate would be in excess of 10000
600 people.

 Now the queen of hearts Is played, followed by the jack of hearts. If East refuses to trump, declarer will discard a club. If East trumps with the four of spades, declarer will overtrump with the five and immediately re- turn club.
 At this point, you can see that East Is going to be couped. He will not be able to make more than two spade tricks. Suppose West wins with tha queen of clubs. I-e will return a heart and again East must trump, South overtrumping with the eight spot. A small club Is led and ruffed in dummy with the three of spades.
 Now the ten of hearts is played and all East can do is to make hts ace and jack of spades. Of course he must be careful to trump with the jack Of spades and not the nine or he will make only ono spade trick.
