Miss Earhart's course and discovery
her probable whereabouts just as
was done in the case of the Rodgers
party. This should lead to their
eventual rescue.
The current in the vicinity where
the plane is believed down runs
westerly at about two knots. Pre-
vailing winds are eaSterly in the
vicinity of Howland. For these
reasons there is some hope that
Earhart and Noonan might reach
the Gilbert islands
During the 20 years that | have
been voyaging the South Seas, |
have become acquainted with the
immense difficulty of locating such
isolated atolls as Rowland island
which is a scant eight feet above
water.
I often have sailed within 10
miles of it without sighting it.
Various birds usually indicate the
land Birds, redfooted Bodies,
sometimes range 900 miles from
the islands. Sooty Terms fly in
radius of DO miles from their nests.
Other birds travel equally certain
distances.
For these reasons, Miss Earhart
and Noonan, presumably familiar
with such matters, should be able
to estimate the general position of
their plane and their distance from
the nearest land.
Smooth, rolling seas customary in
the vicinity Of Rowland island
should increase the possibilities of
the fliers remaining afloat. Rescue
is hampered by the fact that pos
itively no ships. native sampans
or inter island vessels travel in the
vicinity ordinarily.
Sharks are no menace to the pair
unless blood is present. They are
present in the area and when they
become enraged they are dangerous

SEARCH PUSHED
FOR LOST PLANE

aboard to operate the radio in event
the planes motor were not turning"
Putnam said, however, 1t was pos
sible the plane had landed on an
island with fuel left and that Miss
Earhart and Noonan were running
one of its motors at stated inter-
walls to operate the radio and send
out signals.
Kenneth Bartell, radio amateur
of Huntington Park, near Los An
geles. said he got signals from
KHAQQ, the call letters of Miss
Earhart's plane, at 1855 am. psf.
The signals came in a mans
voice, Bartell said, leading him to
believe it was the voice of Captain
Noonan.
Earlier Walter McMenamy and
Karl Pierson, Los Angeles amateurs,
reported they heard the voice OF
Miss Earhart shortly before 645
am. psf calling SOS, sos"
Ideal weather conditions to keep
the plane afloat prevailed in the
vicinity of Rowland island, A clear
sky and quiet seas gave new conf
dence to searching coast guards
men.
From Honolulu, near latitude 20
south to approximately six south
cloudy skies are rare and doldrums
prevail with soft sea swells, light
winds and sunny skies.
Guarding against emergency, Miss
Earhart and Noonan had taken
along a large supply of rations-
condensed food such as matted milk
tablets and chocolate, enough to
last for several weeks.
Water Device
Also aboard was a "rebreather
outfit" device which manufac-
lures drinking water through the
simple means of condensing human
breath.
A two-man rubber raft was also
aboard the plane, together with
flares and bright orange kite
which could be sent aloft to attract
attention of rescuers.
Putnam said the plane itself could
stay afloat "for long time
Position of the lost plane was
not definitely fixed but was be-
lieved to be perhaps about 100 miles
north of Rowland island.
McMenamy and Pierson, the Los
Angeles amateur radiomen. were
certain they had heard Miss Ear
hart's voice.
1T was Miss Earhart all right,
McMenamy said. Il know her voice
very we'll. She just kept repeating
IS. 0. s. over and over. She said
something else but I couldn't make
it out
"She can't use code herself so
assumed Noonan was busy or
asleep.
Her voice sounded pretty good.
Not scared at all-she never sounds
that way"
No other calls were reported from
anywhere giving the planes posi-
ton, although the Itasca, Achilles
and shore stations in Honolulu as
we'll as the mainland reported hear
ing the signals.

TALLAHAssEE. April %

TALLAHASSEE, April 22.--
(FNS) Two bills scheduled to
make the life of the newspaper
business manager easier have been
introduced in the house Of rep
resentatives by Rep. Robert F.
Skies of Okaloosa county, presi-
dent of the Florida State Press
Association.
The first, Fl, B. 236, has been
favorably reported by the COM
mittee on public printing and is
on the calendar. 1t would require
that a receipt for payment of
legal advertising of a masters
Gale be presented before the sale
can be called legally terminated.
The second, III. B. 459, now is
before the public printing COM
mittee, headed by Rep. Paul
Rardin, Canal Point publisher.
1t would make mandatory the
advertising rate OF $1.00 per inch
on first insertion and so cents
per inch on eaen repeating inser-
ton of legal advertising in Flor
ida newspapers.
The present law reads that the
$l.00 and so cent rates "may" be
charged. The Skies bill would
amend the law to read that the
rates "shall' be charged.
Skies explained that he spon-
sored the rate bill to prevent
price cutting on legal advertising
rates. The bill is slated for early
house action.

matter, as he admitted that he
was fully aware of the trans
action, but that he through negli-
gence, had failed to officially re-
port the matter to the council. He
said, however, that he did notify
Auditor Willard M. Albury of the
matter at the time, saying that he
least thought that any question
would be raised over the trans
action.
Mr.. Hicks fully absolved Mr..
Moreno of all blame in the mat
ter, and stated that he, Mr.. Mo-
reno, should not be held respon-
sible in any way, due to the fact
that Mr.. Moreno appraised him of
the proposed transaction at the
time.
At the conclusion of the dis
cussion, the chair appointed a COM
mittee, composed of Councilmen
Freeman, Delaney and F. o. Rob-
erts, to consult with Mr.. Moreno
and obtain a complete account of
the transaction as to the amount
of brick sold, and the price paid
FOR them.

CHINA URGED
TO SOCIALIZE
MEDICAL CARE
NATIONAL ADMINISTRATION
FAvoRs FREE TREATMENT;
MEDICINE SYSTEM SAID TO
BE NEEDED
my Associated Press,

NANKING, April 22.-China
where there is only one regis
tered doctor for every $4,000
people, only one registered dent
ist for every 4,000.000-needs a
state medicine system if the
country's health standards are to
be raised.
That is the contention of the
national health administration
which wants the government te
establish, and subsidize medical
centersj SO that the poor may have
free treatment-with emphasis on
the preventive side.
DR.. P. z. King, head of the adj
ministration, sees no other solu-
ton in view of the ignorance and
low economic status of the mass
es.
Most of the population, King
declares, is entirely without med
ical care because what doctors
there are concentrate in the cities
and cater to the rich.
In Shanghai, for instance, is To-
Gated the bulk of China's 1922
doctors. In Shanghai, a new med
zeal center was recently opened.
Further, complicating the prob
lem are the quack doctors. There
is now law in the criminal code to
prevent them from posing as au-
thorized physicians.
Under state system, each dis
trict would have its own hospital
and health workers who would
take over first aid work, vaccina-
ton, health propaganda, and re-
porting of vital statistics. Scat
tered districts have tried the
scheme with success, King says.

Angel ROsende Gives His
/ Impressions OF Visit Here
During MART Ceremonies

en- up in responding to invitations
to dances, and suppers, paying of
ficial visits, taking part in special
commissions and being interview
. ed by press representatives.
Zone of the most inspiring
sights of our visit was the throng
which attended the unwilling cere-
monies for the Marti monument
when following the official act of
unwilling speeches were made by
a number of patriotic Cubans and
sympathetic Americans. The eere.
monies were of a nature which
embodied the spirit of art and
music and all that which tends to
expand the soul of Cuba and the
great American nation, all blend
ed into one wonderful hour in con
neetion with the honor being shown
to the memory of the great
Apostle Marti.
1.-THE soldiers at the barracks
were especially courteous and we
were the recipients of many acts
of fraternity when we went to
sa.ute the great American flag
and the flag of Marti. Added to
this the public schools of Key
West took an active part and like
wise formed a bicycle unit which
took part in the parade.
''In the moments of joy during
some of the dances we were thrill
ed with the music and vocal pre-
i sensations of some of our native
songs which were greatly applaud
ed. Throughout all of this great
homage to a great man we were
well attended by the Cuban Con.
sui, and we noted the efficient at
tention given by the Cuban teach
/ ers in the schools of San Carlos
Institute and the care and atten
ton they give to their educative
work.
/ eve are very grateful to Com
n1andef Agniia of the Patria anC

of the president of Cuba, and We
must not forget the fulness of the
great work which resulted from
the patriotic fervor and love O.
