SEATTLE YOUTH
ON LAST LAP OF
PACIFIC CRUISE
BY GUSTAVE ROGER
United Press STAFF CorrespOndenI

'NHieu FIeSS StaH correspondent
Valparaiso, Chile, June Is CUP)
William c. Weld, 27-year- old
Seattle, Wash, youth, with more
than a dash of adventure in his
makeup, left this seaport recently
on the last lap OF his round the
Pacific cruise aboard his small
Sailbost Pagan" With Seattle as
his destination, he expects to corn
plete the trip in three months and
to enlist in one Of the armed serv-
ices OF the United States.
Weld has been sailing the Pacific
In his 25-foot vessel by himself for
the past four and one-half years
In peacetime and in war. he has
gene from Seattle to Alaska, thence
to numerot small islands in the
Southwest Pacific and to Australia
In the latter part Of 1912, one year
after the war had broken out in
the Pacific, he calmly set sail from
Tahiti for the west coast of Chile.
A taciturn, hermitlike person,
his only comment on the dangers
he met was that his life was en-
dangered several times during the
crossing from Tahiti to Valparaiso
by sharks and whales" He said he
saw no evidence on his voyage OF
the tremendous conflict going On
between the United Nations and
Japan.
Weld arrived here last Feb. 81
and announced that he would re-
main in Valparaiso for a fortnight
to make minor repairs on the pa
gan" However, this fortnight
stretched in three months, princi-
pally because Weld is in no hurry
to do anything and because he
liked Valparaiso very much.
When the solitary navigator, as
he is now known in Chile, left Ia
hiti he intended to head for Cali
fornia. But off the Chilean coast
he encountered storm which
forced him to change his course.
Using map that had Ieen printed
in an American magazine as his
only guide, he made his way to VAL
paraiso.
When Weld left here he an
nounced that he expected to make
the voyage to Seattle in three laps
stopping first at Callao, Peru,
anC. then at some point on the Cali
fornia coast before arriving at
Seattle.
He said that he would offer all
the information he had gathered
on his four years at sea, along with
the experience gained, to the naval
or military officials of the U. S.. if
they believed that it would be Of
any value.

THE DAISY FIELD

Up and lp over the brow of the hill
The sky is clear, there's whip poor-Vill,
There it is with its yearly yield,
familiar sight the daisy field
You recall 1t since you were child
Along with other flowers wild;
The tiger lilies orange bold,
On all those things you completely sold
Up and up over the brow of the hill,
Sometimes there breeze 7ometimes 1t was Stll,
Shimmering white great big masses,
Among the daisies they have no classes,
At first sight you gave OH
They always affected you just so;
Come on Sue and Belle and Mini
And the lot of you jumped right in.
In those days there was time for picking,
There was less Of general kicking
About how much such and such yields
There were no short hours in daisy fields.
Up and up the brow of the hill
Thinking of it you get thrill.
You would drive out today TO see the white mass,

Throngs Jam
Tax Office
Rush 70 Get
Use Tox Stamps

AT least 500 drivers who have
been tardy in their purchase of
u. S. Treasury Use Tax stamps,
have TANNED the Internal reve-
nue. office, in order to avoid
being apprehended as Federal
violators in an intensified drive
conducted by his department
this week, Walter l.. Denning,
deputy U. S. collector of reve-
nue., stated today.
Despite the rush, Denning es-
timated that between 20 and IS
per cent of the motorists are
still without their use stamp,
thus necessitating that the drive
continue until all cars have
been examined"
Motorists who are ticketed by
the federal deputies are subject
to S25 fine or 10 days in Jail
or both They may also face
prosecution for tax evasion,
Denning claimed.
Tardy buyers, though not
ticketed, are also subject to pun
ishment, Denning indicated. At
the time of their purchase, driv-
ers are asked the reason for
their hardness. All names are
then sent to Washington, where
the individual cases are exam
ined and disposed of.
Most of the drivers excused
their belated purchase by claim
ing they didn't use the car until
now. If proven, it is a legiti-
mate excuse, Denning said, but
a majority are using this as an
alibi for their neglect"
Denning is commenting on the
lack of cooperation the motor
lists were showing remarked that
the people must have forgot
there's war on.
The money from the stamps
is used to defray the cost of the
war and deserves the unquali-
fled support of the drivers Den
ming added.
His office, he indicated. is op-
en- every morning and afternoon
if necessary at AZ S. Gratiot to
purchasers. On Tuesday morn
ing between 10 am. and IL noon
Denning will be at the Van Dyke
post office selling the stamps
TO local residents. He will re-
peat on Wednesday at the East
Detroit post office.

Teen Age Voting
Looms in Nation
Georsio's Action
Nov Become Nationwide

ATLANTA, Aug. 5 = Up =
Amendment of Georgia's consti-
tuition lowering the legal voting
age from 81 to 10 may prompt
Congress into early action on
proposal which would authorize
'teen-age voting throughout the
nation, says Senator Van Mugs
(D-Ind).
While political leaders here
speculated on the possibility of
granting ID to 20-year-old boys
and girls still further privileges,
such as the right to hold office,
Senator Van Mugs, in Washing
ton, predicted that the results of
the Georgia election would have
lots of effect on the senate
judiciary committee which is
considering the proposed ma
ton wide amendment.
81 think now it will be re-
ported out for a vote said Van
Mugs, chairman Of the commit
tee. He asserted that the pro-
posal, sponsored by Senator
Vandenberg (R-Mich). was ex-
pected TO be given public hear
ings when Congress returns in
September from a vacation.
A two-thirds majority vote of
both Houses would be required
to submit the proposed amend
ment to the people. and 36 out
of the AZ states would have to
ratify 1t before il became law.
Georgia state officers. who
predicted a possible demand
from the new 'teen-age voters
for additional privileges, declin-
ed to be quoted by name and
Governor Ellis Arnall, who
championed the amendment,
disclaimed interest in further
concessions.
Besides the right to hold Of
flee, the youths also conceivably
could be granted the right TO
serve on juries, own property
in their own name, marry with
out restrictions and be required
to pay poll taxes.
