The recent marriage of Ruth Bryan
Owen. United States minister to Denmark,
to Dane which automatically makes her
Dane. is causing a great deal of discus
sion everywhere. 1t goes against the grain
of many TO have this country represented
by Danish nationalist. although Mrs.
Owen retains her American citizenship.
Chameeon-like she will be Dane in Den
mark, and an American in America All
things are possible under this precedent
breaking administration, and it will find a
way to reconcile this incongruous condi-
ton, and permit Madame Rohde to retain
her portfolio.

Sometimes the thought comes

Sometimes the thought comes to our
mind that some of the merchants of Key
West are afraid to spend money for adj
veltising for fear that they will sell all the
goods they have on hand and will be COM
PEELED to replenish their stock They seem
to think they might get too much bust
ness. A store that doesn't advertise
doesn't move its goods as quickly as store
that does-and naturally the stock gets
shoddy. For up to the minute goods. it is
safer to patronize those progressive mer-
chants that advertise their goods.

 Traders gave utilities a whirl and new highs were noetd in Columbia Gas, Engineers Public Service, Pa cific Lighting, United Gass Improve ment and Stone & Webster. Part of the gains was erased.
 Copper shares performed well with new highs in Anaconda and Kennecott. Talk of higher prices persisted, although some skeptics sold copper shares short.
 News from the steel industry was favorable. The average operating rate was placed at 641A per cent of capacity, a new high since mid-June 1e30, and 21a points over last weeks rate.
 Good demand was noted in the farm implement section early. Case at one time was up more than 4 While International Harvester Deere, and Caterpillar Tractor made new highs, Mail order issues made new tops and then eased.

Fredericksburg, Pa, April G. (UP)-The bodies of five army avia- tors, charred beyond recognition, were removed today from the wreck age of a two-motored bomber that crashed last night on Blue Bridge Mountain. Army officers from the Midletown, Pa, field listed the dead as: Lieut.. Stetson Brown, St. Johns- bury, Vt; Cadet Paul Anspaugh, Cleveland, O.; Private William Yost, McKees Rocks, Pa, Private Arthur Metz, Chambersburg, Pa.; and Staff Sergeant Ernest Endy, Little Oley, near Boyertown, Pa. The plane was enroute to Langley Field, Va, via Washington from Pottstown.
 Records at Middletown and Lang ley Field, Va, to which the bomber was enroute via Washington from Pottstown, did not reveal the first names of Metz, Yost and Endy.
 Officers who arrived at the scene of the crash identified the plane as the army bomber B-NA by the serial number on the engine. The remainder of the plane was a mass of twisted and charred wreckage.
 The flyers were on routine trainine cruise.
 Lieut.. Brown had piloted the plane from Cleveland and had stopped at Pottstown to pick up Endy, who was visiting his wife. Endy, officers said, was the only one of the men mar ried.

LAST RITES FOR
 FAMOUS VICTIM
Body of Hauptmann Will Be Cremated Sometime
 This Afternoon

New York, April 6.-(UP)-Last rites will be held today for Bruno Richard Hauptmann, who died in New Jerseys electric chair for the Kidnapping and murder of the first son of Col. Charles A. Lind bergh.
 Two ministers, Rev. D. c. Werner and Rev. John Matthieson, who spent the last hours with condemned slayer and both of whom insisted Hauptmann was innocent, will con- duct the services.
 The German carpenters widow, Anna, was the only other person certain to be present although she had invited c. Lloyd Fisher, attor- ney who fought Hauptmann's long battle against the death sentence.
 After the brief services at the Fresh Pond Crematory in Queens the body will be cremated prepara- tory to shipment of the ashes to Germany.
 Crowds Gathered
 Early this morning crowds of morbid curious began gathering outside the crematory despite a heavy downpour of rain.
 Crematory officials said the serv- ices would not occur until late this afternoon but other sources said they would be held at p. m.
 The body, clothed in 8 black $10 suit given all prisoners killed in New Jerseys electric chair, arrived in Queens late Saturday after a hectic journey in which the hearse tried vainly to shake of private cars carrying newspapermen.
 Rev. Werner, who signed the re- lease for the body, came back with 1t.
 Fisher, who vowed to continue ef- forts Ito find the real kidnaper and murderer of the Lindbergh baby" declined to say whether he would attend the services today.
