Colorado Rper Rapids Hold Fate of Aduenture Women

LEES FERRY, Ariz., July Il.
NSO.-Fate of two women and
four men attempting the daring
feat of shooting ITO miles of
rapids on the Colorado River be.
tween Towering Cliffs became a
matter of conjecture today, as
watchers waited hopefully here.
The lapse of time since they
embarked on the perilous down
river voyage June 20 at Green
River, Utah, did not, however,
cause concern. Their emergence
from the tunnel-like canyons
through which the Colorado rushes
with the speed of a streamliner
was expected today, although they
might arrive later at Lees Ferry.
RAINS TORRENTIAL
Cause of some concern was tor
rental rains during the past week,
which poured thousands of gal
Ions of water into the Colorado
from side canyons and raised it's
ever-dangerous rapids to higher
levels.
Headed by Norman Nevills, al
guide and riverman, the expedi-
ton includes DR.. Elzada Clover,
University of Michigan botanist;
her assistant, Lois Jotter; w. C.
Gibson, San Francisco artist
photographer; Eugene Atkinson,
University of Michigan zoologist,
and Don Harris, United States
Geological Survey engineer.
TRAGEDY RECALLED
The party started in two boats
on the 666-mile trip down the Colo
fado.
Ten years ago Mr.. and Mrs.
Glenn B. Hyde, of Hansen, Idaho,
died in an attempt to make the
same trip on their honeymoon.
Their bodies were never recovered,
and how they died remains a mys-
terry. 1t was believed their frail
boat was shattered when hurled
against rocks by the Surging
rapids.

CHICAGO, Jan. l0.-A plea for lat
least s5OO00,000" for dissemination
of the truth about alcohol and intoXl-
eating beverages" was voiced yester-
day by the American Business Mems

ter to President Roosevelt and Con-

the founda ton was moved by what
We are convinced is national emer-
gency."
We respectfully call your attention
to the fact" the letter said. that
during the last four years the liquor
traffic. by Government permission, has
expended upward of S100,000.000 in
advertising and propaganda. attracting
thereby millions of customers who, in
that time, have paid more than sl2,-
O00.000,0 900 to the makers and retailers
Of intoXicants y"
The foundation asserted the money
spent for drinks caused "irreparable
loss to trade y retarding desperately
needed home construction; crippling a
normal expansion of the automobile
industry; seriously jeopardizing the
solution Of the relief problem, and thus
becoming, automatically, such a sig
nifieant factor in the present con-
tinuing depression"
The letter said the $50 1000, 900 asked
FOR a temperance campaign was less
than 10 per cent of the amount re-
Ceived yearly by the Federal Govern
ment from liquor traffic. and approXi-
mated the sum the liquor industry is
expending to increase the use Of in
toxicantS'
In memorandum accompanying
the letter. the foundation termed the
business slump this whisky depres-
SION and concluded:
All indications point to steadily
increasing national cost and loss to
the American people through the con-
tinuing liquor traffic. unless conStruc-
tive steps are taken to meet the prob

foundations estimate of the costs of

A casual visitor finds it somewhat

attractive hotel suite from back

She might chat with you for the
better part of An hour on the rose

self. For this able woman, who shields
her husband from unnecessary social
engagements during the day and is his
constant companion, whether in tray
cling. campaigning or in their office
at home of an evening. talks willingly
on only one subject. That subject is
Cordell Hull.
But when you begin to see the rank
ing member of the cabinet as this
dark-haired, dark-eyed official hostess
sees him. then you begin to realize
that you are finding out a great deal
about the woman herself.

There are those who can tell YOU
how for whole day her face and
voice will show pleasure over some ac-
complishment over at the State De-
partment, such as the announcement
OF the opening Of negotiations for a
reciprocal trade agreement with Great
Britain. That means. of course, &C.
complishment for Cordell Hull.
Perhaps the favorite room of the
Hulls is the small photograph lined

mist-green hangings and gray rug.
Here they work. Mrs Hull is her own
social secretary, and knowing some
thing Of the demands on the first
cabinet hostess and seeing the date

eagements. you get some idea Of what
this task entails
At right angles to hers there is a
similar small flat-topped desk. where
the Secretary works when he ends his
long day in his Office across from the
White House.
And this. it turns out, is the real
reason why the Hulls can accept
only the must" social invitations
for evenings. The Secretary brings
home portfolio of important docu-
ments each night, papers which. be-
fore the evening is over, may cover
both desks and overflow the ct,llapsible
table set up between them for such
emergencies.
Listens to Speeches.

to share actively in her husbands
work. She modestly insists, however,

After roaming around the country
nine months in search of a job, Mr..
FranZmann drifted into Washington in
1881 without penny in his pocket.
Through a chance conversation, he
was directed to the Central Union
Mission, which took him in and where
he has lived ever since. After he had
been at the mission for some time, he
took charge of the men who were shell

has directed ever since.

Missions CIee Club Director
HOPES for Fund Drive Success
Will Permit Hin, to Hold

Singers.

When Raymond Franzmann walked
into the Central Union Mission one
day back in 1881, discouraged, broke
and hungry, he was mostly interested
in finding good bed and something
to eat.
But that was seven years ago. Now
leader of the missions glee club
and employed as night watchman at
Loew's Capitol Theater, Mr.. Franz
mann's greatest worry now lies in try
ing to find a good bass or baritone
voice for the glee club.
However, with the opening Of the
missions city-wide drive for its new
s125,00O annex to provide additional
housing space for homeless men, Mr..
Franzmanns hopes have frightened.
A successful campaign will perhaps
allow him to hold on to good bass
or baritone who because of lack of
dormitory space at present might
otherwise be turned away.
Serious About Glee Club.
Mr.. Franzmann is very serious about
his glee club, which has appeared
weekly on the MISSIONS Commute
Saturday night broadcasts over sta
ton VOL. In fact. that glee club
has become SO well known that it is
now filling outside engagements at
civic and church functions each week.
Rehearsals are conducted at night four
times week and end when Mr..
Franzmann goes off to his job at 10
o'clock. He has had no formal musical
training, but quick ear and sense of
rhythm enable him to direct the 10
man club.
The son of a German cobbler, Mr.
FranZmann was born in Frankfort just
33 years ago. After finishing school
he was employed by florist in the
trade he had decided to follow. In
1927 an uncle who lived in Hammond,
Ind, wrote, suggesting that he come
to the United States, where oppor-
tunities might be better. Packing his
bags, Mr.. Franzmann left Germany
and sailed for the United States. Ar
irving in Hammond he obtained work
with a florist there, for whom he
worked four years
