LONG BAY, British West Indies,
Dec. 20.-"Sam Lords Castle" a
famous show place of the West In

modern hotel, according to report
recently received.
The mansion stands on Long Bay

erected by Samuel Lord in 1920, on
the site of a house built 40 years
earlier by "ship wreckers" who lured
ships to their doom on Cobblers
Reef, just of shore, by hanging Ian
terms in the coconut trees along the
beach. The pirates then gained a
handsome revenue by stripping the
wrecked ships of their cargoes.
The present house. an imposing
structure crowned with battlements
stands on a 13-acre eestate COM
manding a magnificent view of Long
Bay and the sea. Its massive walls
were built to withstand Caribbean
gales and weathered the famous
hurricane Of 1881.

Many Flags F|oated
Over Hawaii Before

Annexation in 1898

BY Wide World News.
HONOLULU, Dec. 20-British,
Russian, French and Hawaiian flags
rippled above Hawaii for a brief
century of history before the hoist
ing of the Stars and Stripes In 1898
over the protest of the japanese.
First came the British flag,
planted on the islands by Capt.
George Vancouver.
Then the Russians erected a fort
on Kauai Island, bringing 200 Eski-
mos to the tropics from Alaska In
1916. With the Russians was Ger
man fifth columnist-long before the
expression came into existence. He
was a secret German officer, DR..
Georg Ano Scheffer, who COM
manded the erection of the fort and
passed as a naturalist.
Officer Shot Up Town.
About the first shooting in Ha-
waii by outsiders was by "Madcap"
1t. John Percival of the U. S. S.
Dolphin in 1926.
Angered by the refusal of officials
and missionaries to allow Hawaiian
women aboard his vessel, he shot up
the former capital of the islands,
Lahaina, on Maui. Missionaries pro-
tested to Washington and his pro-
motion was held up.
Admiral Lord George Paulet land
ed British troops in 1843 and occu-
pied the islands for 160 days. Capt.
Lawrence Kearny, crusading Amer
ican naval officer after whom the
destroyer Kearny was named, ar
rived in the islands as Admiral
Paulet was negotiating a treaty to
make Hawaii British and protested
vigorously. His protest brought Ad-
miral Richard Thomas, commander
of the British squadron, who ordered
Lord George to haul down the Union
Jack and run up the Hawaiian flag.
French Troops Landed.
French troops landed in 1847 and
occupied the islands for seven days
because of religious and treaty diff
f1culties. They shot up Fort Oahu
and sailed off with the private yacht
Of King Kamehameha the Third.
The American flag was raised
Professionally in 1893 when revo-
luton overthrew Queen Liliuokalani.
Thereafter United States troops, on
their way to Manila, landed and
the American flag was raised per-
manently in 1898 while the japanese
Admiral Tojo, aboard the man-of-
war Naniva. protested vigorously

PUEBLA. Dec. 20.-Only "a miles
from Mexico City and connected by
a paved highway, Puebla is one of
the most beautiful places in all Mex
leo, the entire city being virtually one
huge museum of Colonial Mexico.
The city is famous for its beautiful
handmade pottery and tiles. made in
the style of the old Talavera pottery
Of Spain.
On the way to Puebla one may
take q delightful short side trip to
Tlaxcala, a state capital. and very
interesting and colorful small city.
Near Puebla, the road passes through
Cholula, known for its remarkable
churches and particularly one which
is built atop an ancient pagan pyra-
mid.
On the drive from Mexico City to
Puebla, the highway climbs through
beautiful pine wooded mountains OF
10000 feet above sea level, and then
drops down to the level floor of the
fertile valley in which the city of
Puebla rests. On this trip one
passes close to the famous volcanoes
-Popocatepetl and Ixtaccihuatl-
perpetually capped with snow
Near Puebla is the remarkable
Church OF Santa Maria Tonantzin-
tia, completely covered with decora-
tive glazed tiles. Against a setting
sun, the effect is one of spectacular
beauty.

Parallel Technique

Instructor Claims Pupils

QUEBEC, Province of Quebec, Dec.
20.-The sportsman will find both

was born in Lausanne, Switzerland.
He has been skiing since he was
3 years old and teaching skiing
since he was 20. An all-round ath-
lete, he was in the Swiss four -oared
shell that won the 1924 Olympic
title at Paris. In his younger ski
ing days he won more medals and
cups for jumping, cross-country and
downhill competitions than he
knows what to do with. While at
st. Moritz, he had to teach French
movie stars to ski in one week, and it
was then he first realized the need
for quick instruction.
Mr.. Looslis parallel skiing tech
nique, designed to take the drudgery
out of the ski tyro's life, has al
ready established itself as a major
contribution to the sport.
Mr.. Loosns method has provided
a lively controversy which reaches
a climax with the publication of his
book, Parallel Skiing" The method
reduces radically the instruction
time hitherto deemed normal. Mr.
Loosli thinks of parallel only as a
natural development of the older ski
technique.
Throughout the ski seasons OF
1923. 20 and 80, Banff and almost
all of Alberta felt Mr. Loosli's boards.
In 1882 he put Muskoka tOntario)
on skis-skis that he made himself
from logs split by hand. Four years
later the Canadian Amateur Ski
Association engaged him to develop
the new Georgian Bay territory, SUI
veying. cutting trails, teaching. In
1887 the Toronto Ski Club Qargest
in the world called him, and it was
there that he developed parallel ski
ing.
AS Mr.. Loosli records it in his own
words: Il took a class of IL begin
ners and divided it into two groups.
The six least proficient started to
teach parallel. the other six I con-
tinued to teach the snow-plow sys-
tenn. To my surprise, after four
hours the first group could ski as
well as the second, and by the next
day, with two more hours of instruc-
ton. they had surpassed them
When at the end of the first week
the snow-plow people could no long
er go on the same hills with the
others-then I knew I had sorae-
thing"
Mr.. Loosli continued to teach the
snow-plow system to the greater
number that wanted it, but he ex-
perimented with parallel whenever
he could, with groups of all ages.

Sentence TO-.
Be Delayed

The sentence of former Mayor
Richard w. Reading for making q
false statement in compromising
SIT .303 indebtedness to the First
National Bank-Detroit for S., $50,
will probably be delayed for sew
eral months, Federal Judge Frank
A. Picard said today.
Judge Picard said the sentence
would probably be held up because
of the fact that testimony given
in the Circuit Court trials, in
which the former mayor will be
accused of graft-taking. may have
a direct bearing on Readings pro-
baton report.
Meanwhile a Federal Court
order permitting Reading to cons
promise his Indebtedness for the
lesser sum was set aside by Fed
eral Judge Edward J. Monet on
petition of B. c. Schram, receiver
for the First National.
Schram cited Readings plea Of
guilty to the charge of making
the false statement as reason for
vacating the previous settlement.
The Indebtedness involved bank
stock assessments, balance due on
promissory notes and notes which
Reading signed for other persons
which they did not pay.
