ABOARD THE DIRIGIBLE
HINDENBURG, May 10. (UP)-
Buffeted by headwinds that have
reduced her speed to half that she
made on her first eastward trip to
her home port at Friederichsha-
fen, Germany, the dirigible Hin
denburg still pounded her way
westward today. on the second
round trip to Lakehurst, N. j.,
and had adopted more southerly
course to avoid a storm off the
Maine coast.
The Hindenburg is due in Lake
hurst about a. M, Wednesday,
Captain Ernst lehman, in COM
mand, said this noon.
Reduced speed and delay in the
scheduled arrival are due to the
headwind which is holding her
progress to 40 knots an hour, and
her departure from the great cir
Gle, or more northerly course.
ABOARD THE HINDENBURG,

dirigible Hindenburg, her speed
greatly reduced because of strong
head winds, was 1900 miles due

Hindenburg out of the northern

and Sons Honor

LONDON, May IA Q.N.S0.
Colonial Secretary j. H. Thomas,
whose political future is hanging
in the balance, today fatty denied
any responsibility for an alleged
leak in the secrets Of the recent
national budget.
Testifying before the official in
curry, Secretary Thomas told q
packed courtroom, while crowds
milled about outside, that he gave
absolutely no information to any
one relating to the budget. He
said:
81 have heard nine budget
statements altogether, and I
have never disclosed one word
to anybody"
Yesterday Alfred Bates, friend
Of the cabinet minister, denied the
latter communicated anything to
him regarding contents Of the
budget.
The colonial secretary's son,
Leslie Thomas, negotiated insur'
ance with Lloyd'S for Bates against
tax increases just before the
budget was revealed.
The cabinet minister testified
his first reaction upon hearing Of
his sons transaction and the
coupling of his own name with
rumors about the budget leakage
was to resign. Friends persuaded
him not to do so, he said.
He declared he went to Prime
Minister Stanley Baldwin and de-
manded an investigation into his
sons, transactions, adding:

name and with my sons honor"

very sensible advice for those who
are facing middle age where, you
remember, life begins in such a big
way, says, under the heading of
Personal Habits and Longevity:
Regular exercise in the open
air, suited to the age, sex and oc-
cupation Of the individual, is help
full; what is suitable for one per-
son might be disadvantageous to
another. In youth, each person
should develop skill and liking for
some special form Of physical &C.
tivity that may be kept up with
pleasure and benefit in later life.
Walking, tennis, golf, handball,
swimming, horseback riding and
gardening are some of the activi-
ties that can be pursued with adj
vantage for large part of life.
"A few gymnastic exercises be-
fore and after the morning bath
can be very helpful for persons en-
gagged in occupations that make
participation in outdoor exercise
difficult except on half-holidays or
Sundays; the exercises described
in J. P. Muller's My System
with chart), in Dickson and Dive
ley's Exercise for Health and Cor
rection', in Sanford BENEFITS old
Age, It's Cause and Prevention ,
and in r. T. McKenzie's Exercise
in Education and Medicine, have
been found helpful by many"
For those not inclined to bed
room exercises, I recommend as a
comfortable and. to me, sound
doctrine, the one expressed in a
little book called Exercise With
out Exercises, by S. Arthur Devan.
Mr.. Devan says, THE daily dozen
in setting-up exercises are for the
most part useless. There is
another way of building up bodily
strength and vitality and sfapeli-
ness, that is easier and hundred
times more effective"
We will discuss this more at
length tomorrow.

East covered. If he hadn't declarer
would have passed the trick. He
knew that East habitually false
carded. Dummy ruffed with the
K. West followed suit. Now East
had the hands counted, he thought,
and also thought of way to de-
feat the contract, as soon as he
gained entry with his K of clubs.
He would lead a diamond and
West would ruff the trick, defeat
ing the contract.
On dummy's Ace Of hearts de-
clarer let go his lowest club. To
East's dismay the declarer did not
lead a club from dummy. He led
a heart and ruffed with his 10. He
did not care if one opponent hap
pened to be out of hearts also.
Declarer led his @ Of spades, pick
ing up Vests last trump. Then
declarer led his good diamond.
Things were not going at all to
East's liking.
The Ace Of clubs came next,
giving declarer his ninth trick.
Then came a trump lead for the
tenth trick. At last declarer had
to lead his @ Of clubs. AS this was
led declarer said to East: "Well,
here is your club trick" He had
known just what East had planned
to defeat the contract, so it did not
work.
It is probable that as good
player as North would have gone
game against any other strategy.
It also is possible that East's
opening trump lead showed how
anxious he was to prevent dummy
from rufing that suit. East could
just as well have led trumps later
on. It also is possible that in case
East for once had not false-carded
his K of diamonds, declarer would
again have led that suit but that
is only SurmiSe.

Cream of Wheat is pure and safe-uniform in

GENEVA, Switzerland, June 26.-A young Fascist masqueraded as Halle Selassie here today and successfully hoaxed the police and League of Nations officials.
 The youth, dressed and made up as negus, deposited a wreath on the grave of the unknown soldier and disappeared before police dis covered his identity.
 Previous to his disappearance, the Italian made the hoax complete by motoring to the League palace where he received the salutes of police guards, League ushers, and League officials themselves.
 Meanwhile delegates to the League of Nations, beginning search for collective security, were confront ed with a proposal to reverse the sanctions against Italy. It is ex- pected that two opposite decisions will be reached-one of suspension of sanctions against Italy and the other of refusal to officially recog- nize the annexation of Ethiopia.
