FERRY DEFERRED
SAILING SUNDAY
ROUGH WEATHER CAUSED
TRIP OVER ROUTE TO
BE CANCELLED

Travellers who proposed going
north by bus of the Florida Motor
Lines yesterday were disappoint-
ed when the bus reached the
ferry slip and they were advised
that sailing of the ferry had been
cancelled.
There was just enough rough
water along teh route between
Big Pine Key and Upper Mate
cumbe to make the ride anything
else but highly uncomfortable,
and it was decided to cancel
sailings from this side.
With weather conditions ameli-
grated and the waters less tenn
pestuous today, ferry sailings
were resumed and disappointed
bus passengers of yesterday, and
others, took passage.

OF Other Men Have Not
Been Located

ST. PETERSBURG, June 15.-
Coast Guard amphibian plane on
storm patrol duty plunged into
Tampa Bay near kere today.
The body Of Lieutenant Charles
Martin Perrott was found damned
in the wreckage.
Divers saw no trace of Radio
man Walter o. Morris and Avia-
ton Mechanic William D Eu-
banks, who, it is believed, may
have been thrown clear of the
plane. Little hope is entertained
that they may have saved lem
selves.
Coast Guard craft found their
graphing equipment unequal to
the task of raising the plane from
ID feet of water, so awaited the
arrival of a marine crane.
What caused the craft to crash
Is unknown, But officers express
ed the belief that tie pilot was
unable to land on the choppy
bay, after engine trouble develop
ed.
The bay was rough because of
tropical storm, which passed to
the southwark last night.
All were married men with
q .ildren and resided in St. Pc
tersburg.
Wreckage of the plane was To-
Gated about l2.O7 miles east of
the St. Petersburg Coast Guard
radio station.
The plane left the station at
1902 A. M. and lost radio COM
munieatiPn at 7;21. The plane
is believed TO have plunged into
the bay about s:15.

BORAH'S>CLAIM
OF OHIO FRAUD
RECALLS 1920
SENATOR is SHOWN TO HAVE
BROUGHT ABOUT SENATE
INVESTIGATION OF CAM
PAIGS EXPENDITURES
By PRESTON GROVER

(By Associated Press)
Senator Borah's charge of mis-
use of national committee funds
in the Ohio campaign raised some
interesting possibilities but brought
no expressions of fear or trem-
bling from those at whom it
seemed to be aimed.
1t recalled to Republicans
whose memory went back to 1920
that a somewhat similar gesture
by Borah was one of the brakes
that stopped General Leonard
Wood and Frank Lowden in their
drive for the nomination.
General Wood was leading the
pre-convention campaign when
Borah brought about a senate in
vestigation OF campaign expendi-
lures. Various sources indicated
supporters of General Wood had
spent upwards of a million dol
lars while about half that much
was listed in the Lowden disburse-
ment column.
So Harding Was Named
1t evidently ranked in the
minds of the delegates for neither
candidate was able at the con-
vention to gather many more
votes than he had had on arriv-
ing. Warren G. Harding finally
was nominated.
Regardless of the effect of the
activities of Mr.. Borah and his as
sociates on the headlong progress
of Governor Landon Of Kansas,
the Landon legion long ago fear.
ed Borah support was lost.
Walter F. Brown, former past
master general. mentioned by
Borah in his statement about the
"misused" 10000, has been a tar
get before of the Idahoan's darts.
In 1882 Borah declared Brown and
Ogden l.. Mills, then secretary of
the treasury, trainers of the sup
posedly non-committal liquor
plank, were "uncompromisingly
for repeal" Both denied it.
Think Norris Will Run
The best information in Wash
ington indicates Senator Norris
will run for reelection in Ne
braska-and, Of course, that if
he runs he will be reelected.
He will have to campaign as an
independent-he forsook the Re-
publican nomination-but that is
no handicap under the Nebraska
style of ballot which lists Demo
Gratis, Republicans and indie
pendents all together.
There is no system for voting
straight tickets" by merely put
ting a cross in ring at the head
of the party column. Voters wish
ing to vote straight tickets"
must go down the list and pick
out the ones marked "Republ-
cam" Democratic" "Indepen-
dent" or otherwise. That style
of ballot was adopted by the Ne
braska legislature in 1888.
It's advocates say it has the ad-
vantage of preventing one strong
candidate on a ticket from coat
failing a flock of weaklings into
office.

Dear Miss Fairfax:
"Since we were in the eighth
grade together, I've been in love
with her. 1 was only IA at the
time. 1 was too dumb to realize
how lucky 1 was, and my friends
kept telling me it was only a case
Of puppy love.
"In her last year of high school,
she was taken desperately i'll, and
/ went completely haywire, which
she disliked, saying my emotion
was childish.
II haven't seen her for two
years and hear she is going
steady with another boy. But I
can't drive her out of my mind.
I'm always thinking Of her. Yet
I'm afraid to write.

or his desserts are small,

tions of this kind, even if they
turn them down.

PARIS.-Shoes have rallied to
the cause. Enzel shows one of the
most popular examples: a navy
blue shoe, its unusually wide navy
kid saddle encrusted with a large
flower motif in red and white, the
edge of the shoe and the saddle
bound in white kid. This footwear,
we are told, is to be worn now
with navy costumes and later with
white. A well-known hat shop a
few doors away suggests a hat
band that is a duplicate of the
saddle of the shoe we have de-
Scribed and that might also
equally well grace blue or white
headgear.

Of fact, several details Of table
manners that instantly and in
evitably reveal whether or not
we know what good table man
ners are. This question of how
we place the knife and fork when
they are not in use is one of
the most important of these de-
tails.
If, during a course, we rest the
handle Of either the knife or the
fork on the table or on the table
cloth, we show at once, most def
initely, that we haven't good
table manners. It's as important
as that!
If we are accustomed to eating
in the fork-Shifting manner, we cut
piece of meat, say, with the fork
in the left hand, of course, and
the knife in the right hand. Then
we rest our knife on the rim of the
plate, both handle and blade rest
ing on the edge of the plate. The
handle of the knife should not rest
on the tablecloth. The fork is
shifted to the right hand.
When during the course we
crest" the fork, it should, as B
says, he placed so that the handle
is on the edge of the plate and the
tines are near the center of the
plate. tines up. The handle of the
fork should not rest on the table
cloth.
But, if we eat in the non-fork-
shifting manner, when we rest our
knife and fork during the course,
place the blade of the knife and
the tines of the fork toward the
center Of the plate, the handle of
the knife pointing to the right and
the handle of the fork pointing to
the left. Then they are in con.
venient position for us to take up
again.
Usually the napkin is placed to
the left of the plate, but it's all
right, when We leave the table to
dance, to place the napkin on the
seat of the chair.

"GETS THE GATE"

Dear Miss FAIRFAX:
I'm your column which I always
read, was interested not long ago
in seeing a letter from a man who
said he wanted to marry an old
fashioned girl, simple, hOme-lOving
and not above wearing an apron.
"Well, Miss Fairfax, I'm an old
fashioned man, we'll able to provide
for a wife, but it has been my ex-
perience that girls give the old
fashioned man the gate. They pre-
fer the Smarty type, who assumes
no responsibility and who treats
them as 1 wouldn't treat a yellow
dog. Still, they are more popular
than fellows like myself, who have
been reared in decent homes and
try to keep a few decent ideals.

You probably lack craftsmanship,
which counts in counting a damsel
almost as much as in selling auto
mobiles, refrigerators or peddling
soap from door to door. You have
got to convince the buyer of the
excellence of the goods offered,
and I judge you're probably shy
and let the brass band boys talk
you down.
Some girl is missing a very good
husband, but let me beg girls and
widows not to write and ask for
this gentleman'S address. We
never give introductions in this

Peggie: Your problem is not un-
common. A husband may prefer
blondes, but still obi ect to
bleached hair for his own wife.
There is no reason why he should
call it your sin. Hair coloring has
nothing to do with morals, and
one may be just as discreet and
proper with bleached or dyed hair
as with the natural color.
Your best solution for your prob
lem is to cut your hair, as the
bleached hair will never turn back
to its natural color. When the
hair is bleached, the natural color
is removed permanently. However,
the new hair will be your own
natural color as it grows out.
Hair long enough to touch the
floor is difficult to manage. You
cannot dress it in any of the smart
styles, so, since it does not add to
your attraction, why not have it
cut in a new smart bob and get
rid of the bleached hair that he
diSlikeS so much?

From my father I inherited
the sum OF $4,000, which !
turned over to my husband for
a business he wanted to start.
1 was so in love with him
that l never secured any prop
erty interest in this business.
1t prospered wonderfully, and
he fell IN love with a woman
who worked there.
"When my fourth child was born
l was desperately i'll. And though
1 knew ABOUT this woman, l still
believed in and trusted my hus
band. He asked me to sign some
papers, which l did without read
ing them over, still believing in
HIM.
my husband then disappeared
and was gone for several weeks.
He had secured a Mexican divorce
and the custody of the children.
1t seems had signed a paper, CIV
ing him their custody, without hav-
ing an idea of what did.
"As 1 gave my money to him, 1
