the exciting modern novel of adven-
ture written by Charles Nordoff and
James Norman Hail. Jon was ap-
parently born to play the role of
Terangi. He is the nephew of the
author and was reared on the Island
where his ancestors settled two gen.

He knows the customs and understands
thecharacter of the natives He ecanride

and dive expertly. And l know lot
of chaps pretty much like Terangi. I've
lived their life and love it," he says.
That is why he also likes the food
that he had there as boy and very
young man. Some of the dishes are, of
course, not practical for our American
tables. But others are highly delec-
table and easily adapted for our own
use. We cannot. for instance, serve the
breadfruit which. Jon says. we eat
there like bread"
But coconut cake is another matter,
though it differs from ours in having
shredded coconut cooked in the batter
- not merely used in frosting. The
cake, in fact, is excellent without
frosting - but with it becomes one of
the most delicious confections we have
ever tasted. Here is the recipe:

GLENDALE, Calf, Dec. Capt
Francisco Sarabia, veteran Mexican
airman, announced plans last night
for a nonstop flight to start AZ
dawn Monday in an effort to lower
the record of 8 hours and II minutes
between here and Mexico City.
He will pilot 4-year-old, single
motor Gee-Bee monoplane which
he purchased recently from George
Armistead, Los Angeles sportsman.
Armistead entered it in last sum-

route will follow the Pan-American
Airways' airlane to MaZatlan, then
on a bee-line to Mexico City. He
will carry oxygen tanks and a two
way radio.

OFF TO BOOST FOR ALASKAAS
 TOURIST TRIP

On his annual visit to Mid Vest ern and Eastern States to pass the good word along concerning the advantages of Alaskan tours, Ken Mckenzie, assistant general pas senger agent of the Alaska Steam ship Company, sets sail tonight, says a recent Seattle Post-Intelli- gencer.
 He will be absent from his ac- custcmed haunts for matter of two months or more since he has lot of agents and travel bureaus to contact and this year he has plenty to talk about in the way of new ships for the service.
 Here is the Columbia, ex-Dorothy Alexander, extensively rebuilt and improved and a different craft by long ways from last year; the Mt. Mckinley, also entering the service this spring with added pas senger accommodations, and the new ship Caracas, to be named Denali, twin screw, speedy liner that is expected to take the eye of the travellers.
 Of course, being a former star ball player for the University of Washington and lover of the game, it can be hazarded as quite a possible development that Ken will be sitting in on big league opener or two.

Stock Averages
BY VICTOR EUBANK,

NEW YORK. March 29.-Buying
support faded from the stock market
today and industrial leaders sank l
to more than points, many hitting
new bottoms for the past three years
or longer.
A little bargain hunting nibbling
at the last lifted few OF the worst
sufferers from their lows. but the ma
jority exhibited scant ability to re-
gain balance
Wall Street attributed the fresh
collapse to combination of pessi-
mistic circumstances. In part. analysts
blamed thickening Of the gloom clouds
on the Senate's reorganization bill
vote which, while hardly surprising
to those who have followed Washing
ton proceedings, nevertheless was far
from pleasing to the financial sector.
Contributing to the slide also was
disappointment over yesterdays feeble
rally, the first real comeback attempt
in nearly two weeks; the touching of
OF numerous stop-loss orders, more
than the usual amount of offerings on
balance from abroad unloading of i'm
paired margin accounts. and outright
liquidation by long-fatigued holders.
Volume picked up on the retreat,
with transfers approximating l,5OO, 900
shares.
The list was down moderately at
the start in fairly active dealings.
Prices then fiattened out and the pace
slowed. There was a selling burst,
however, near the second hour that
put the ticker tape in arrears. Activ-
ity once more contracted, but recov-
cry efforts generally got nowhere.
Issues touching new lows included
U. S. Steel, Bethlehem, American Tel
ephone. Santa Fe. U. S. Smelling,
American Metal. American Smelling.
Howe Sound, Allied Chemical, Ana

Chemists Learn New Uses for Swelling
Clay; of Great Value to Agriculture

Coulle dam of the Columbia river.
"Bentonite," said the report, sis
finding ever-broadening application
in the oil industry, where it is used
during the drilling operation as
thickener. If suspensions Of ben
tonite in water are allowed to rest
they will become increasingly more
viscous and finally form gel Ca
gelatin-like materially. Upon me-
chanical agitation they are quickly
liquifed. This procedure can be re-
peated many times and is known as
'thixotropy.'
IA closer understanding of the rea-
son for the different swelling capaci.
ties Of bentonite and better knowl-
edge Of the reasons for this peculiar
phenomenon should materially
assist in broadening out it's indus
trial application. Furthermore, any
more detailed knowledge should
prove of great value in agriculture
and soil preservation, since soil is
made up to a large extent, of clay
minerals"
White Bluffs spokesman. [volume] (White Bluffs, Wash.) 1907-1938, 1938-05-27

Research results from the nations
laboratories dealing with soil struc-
lures and the industrial uses of clay,
the absorption behavior of chlorine,
the surface tension Of liquids and
the chemical activity of blood and
serum were reported to more than
400 chemists from all parts of the
country participating in the four
teenth annual colloid symposium of
the American Chemical Society at
the University of Minnesota, writes
Minneapolis correspondent in the
Chicago Daily News.
Bentonite clay, found principal
ly in Wyoming, which possesses the
ability of swelling in water, was put
in the spotlight by Prof. Ernest A.
Hauser and c. E. Reed of the Mas
sachusetts Institute of Technology.
They reported several new discov-
cries relating to the clay, which is
becoming increasingly valuable in
industry and agriculture. Benton
