SPEED DRIVERSAREON
 WAY TO U. s.
(By The Associated Press)

(By The Associated Press)
 LONDON, Feb B, Two of Eng lands most famous race drivers, Sir. Malcolm Campbell and Capt. G. E. T. Eyston, are preparing to burn up Americas super-speedways during the coming year.
 CampbelPs celebrated Bluebird II, which already holds the world land speed record of over 272 miles an hour will return to Daytona Beach once more this month in an effort to lift the mark up to 300 miles per hour.
 More than 18 months were spent irD reconStructing the monster racer, at a secret workshop outside of Lon don. Wind resistance, Sir Malcolm Campbell believes has been reduced to an absolute minimum Only the engine remains of the original Blue bird.
 Captain Eyston, an old rowing "blue" at Cambridge, is building a new machine at an estimated cost of over $60,000 for crack at the 24- hour record set by the American star, Alb Jenkins. at Salt Lake City a few months ago.
 The new British creation, to be christened Speed of the Wind'', will pack more than 300 horsepower and is expected to attain speed of near ly ITO miles an hour. Eyston, doing most of the driving himself, expects to average at least 40 miles an hour for the long grind round and round the big circular track laid out on the dry salt lake bed Jenkins record was slightly over 127 miles per hour,
 Eyston expects to make his at tempt in July or August.

Sub-Sea Wonders Thrill The Cast Of
 Below The Sea-

With more than forty per cent of Columbia's Below the Sea-" photo graphed nearly 100 feet underneath the surface of the sea, Director Al bert, Rogell had to assemble the strangeSt cast ever to be used in the filming of a motion picture It is showing Friday at the Dream Thea tre.
 Playing one of the most important roles in the photoplay, is a giant squid, or octopus, captured after many weeks searching off the north ern coast of Mexico. The octopus was used in the climax of the story, showing the infuriated monster of the deep actually attacking a diving bell in which are members of scientific party studying certain pha ses of ocean-ography.
 In addition to the octopus, Rogell had to work with thousands of trop- ical fish. loaned to the studio for the purpose by the famous Long Beach aquarium.
The Nome daily nugget., 1935-02-14

A great diving bell, specially de- signed to withstand water pressure at 60 fathoms made possible the filming of the under water sequen- cess of the production. Built on the principle of a submarine-a- shell within a shell-the bell was sub merged by virtue of it's own water weight, made possible through the use of fins instead of the customary lead. Carrying three persons, the bell. is equipped with three heavy glass ports, through which the maxi imum of wide-angle action may be photographed without difficulty. It was also equipped with the newly perfected Westinghouse water ray. controlled from the inside, which penetrates the murky blackness for great distances.
 Ralph Bellamy and Fay Wray are featured in Below the Sea-" Others in the cast are Frederik Vogedng and Esther Howard. Undersea scenes are photographed in technicolor.

 PARENTS IN
 Sl,OOO,OOO SUIT
(By The Associated Press)

(By The Associated Press)
 CHICAGO, Feb 14, = One million dollars in damages are asked in 8 suit filed yesterday in the United States district court in Chicago against Olivia Dionne and her hus- band Elzira Dionne parents of the famous quintuplets born about eight months ago near Collender, Ontar- io Province, Canada.
 Officials Are Sued Too Besides MT. and Mrs. Dionne, Sev- eral officials of the Canadian govern ment are named as defendants. Tn addition to the parents, Is individ- uals and institutions are made de- 1 fendants.
 The suit was filed by Ivan Spear, head of the Century of Progress Tour Bureau.
 He alleges that the parents of the Dionne Quintuplets on the advice of Canadian officials and others broke a contract made with the Tour Bur eau by appearing on the stage.
 Parents On Stage
 Mama and Papa Dionne, made an appearance in theater in the Loop District of Chicago yesterday but the $1,OOO,O00 suit against them for the breach of contract soon cast shad ow across the 'footlights Shortly af- ter they took their first bows, attor- neys for Spear brought the legal ac- tion
 Spears alleges that the Tour Bur- eau, under provisions of it's contract has the exclusive right to direct any appearance for exhibition purposes of any members of the Dionne fam 1 fly.
 Thrown out Last Year
 A similar suit was thrown out of court last summer.
 Meanwhile, according to telegram received in Chicago from Toronto, Premier Mitchell F. Hepburn, of On tario Province has issued statement saying that he deprecates to the full est extent "the stage appearance of the parents of the quintuplets' add ing it is "a disgrace and cheap" He further asserted:
 If there is any way possible the legislature of Ontario will take ac- ton to protect the five babies from professional, self-seeking promoters" :"

L D THE MAIL BAG

CENATOR VANDENBERG'S proposal to es-
- tablish a career service in the Postofhce
Department deserves more consideration than
it is likely to receive in Congress.
A law making it possible for the pavement
pounding postal grays to climb from the ranks
to high position in the department should
measurably increase the efficiency and morale
of the postal service. 1t would provide an in
centive for the legion of letter carriers and
stamp clerks to do better work.
Who. then, will be so short-sighted as to
say mo" to the Vandenberg proposal9 Will
the opponents include:
James A. Farley, who mingles the Jobs of
Postmaster General, Democratic National
Chairman and New York State Democratic
Chairman, and seems hardly conscious that
he is serving more than one master;
Members of CongresS-DemocratS, because
theirs is now the power to reward faithful
constituents with hometown postmasterships.
and Republicans, because they hope the pow
er will again be theirs some day;
Political ward heelers, who think their
proves in rounding up votes entities them to
liens on the taxpayers dollars?

LINDBERGHS BIRTHDAY MAY
BE HOLIDAY, HE HOPES

BY Another Times Reader.
To Times Reader of Dec. 27: Was
there any one who asked you to
read 1.-The Murder of Baby Lind
bergh"? If not, why did you read
it if that was the way you felt about
it?
There would not have been so
much publicity about the KIDNAPPING
of Baby Lindbergh, if Lindbergh
himself had not done such a daring
thing alone that no other man had
done. Therefore, it was his fame
and not his wealth that caused the
great publicity, because Lindbergh
at one time was not wealthy. His
mother taught school for a living.
It it hadn't been for his wealth,
he probably would not have had
to go through the terrible ordeal
of pain and suffering to have his
baby boy kidnapped and murdered.
If the true criminal is found, l nope
he goes to the gallows.
Is all of this publicity helping the
dead Lindbergh baby or his par
ents? If the public weren't interest
ed. why were so many extra copies
of newspapers sold at the time OF
KIDNAPPING? You must be jealous OF
the publicity and Lindberghs
wealth.
I think that some day Lindbergh's
birthday will be known as a natlon-
al holiday. I hope it is.

H ALIMONY RACKET

A CHICAGO judge has handed down a
"A sapient ruling that a woman h earns
more money than her husband earns is not
entitled to alimony when she divorces him;
and the common sense of such a ruling is so
obvious that the case would never have been
mentioned in the newspapers at all if it were
not for the fact that alimony decisions are so
often distinguished by a complete absence of
common sense.
A man who marries undertakes certain
definite responsibilities regarding the woman
of his choice. If they have children, he GER
tsinly can not escape the responsibility of pro-
viding for them.
But where there are no children; where
the woman has no dependents and is quite
capable of supporting herself, given an ordi-
nary break in the luck, just as she did before
she was married-where, in the name of sanity,
is the sense in giving her a perpetual claim on
her ex-husbands earnings?
It isn't often that the claim for alimony is
quite as unjustifed as it was in this Chicago
case. 1t is refreshing to see that at least one
judge is ready to keep the alimony racket
within some sort of reasonable bounds.

BY H. S. Bonsib.
Since there will be a battle of
oratory and wise and otherwise
things said by Congress and the
Legislature on the liquor question,
this thing should be coming to a
climax.
Says Carter Glass, ut is just as
important for Congress to prevent
evil legislation as to enact good
legislation" But what the tax
payers wish to know is what will
be done with that milestone on the
neck of Uncle Sam, money worse
than wasted, namely on the booze
nuisance which does not fit in
with the preamble of Jul ConSti-
tuition. How will you harmonic
domestic tranquility, to establish
justice, to promote the general
welfare. to provide for our COM
mon defense, to secure and in
sure to ourselves and the future
generations the blessings of
liberty?"
The Prohibition party will con-
summate this question and pro-
hibition is not a failure. 1t was
merely a dry law in wet hands.
Kansas, which has had prohibition
for more than so years has voted
in the last campaign to keep pro-
hibition by a $4,000 majority.
Many good reasons can be given
why so: Fifty-four counties with
out any insane, 81 counties with

fornia and Wisconsin in 1925, Montana in
1927, Colorado in 1881, the others in 1888.

tention to the President and the people than
to a group of opposition lawyers.
