It Is the dream and hope or two 8e|(10 men. George Henderson and )(. Koller to recover that fortune. ‘Twenty-six years ago one cold, foggy September night, the big Alaskan earner Islander slowly made Its wav •htough the treacherous channels. Aboard the craft was a capacity load 0 < passengers, men an dwomtn coming j crrne from the northern gold fields. Men and women who had won fortunes c nquering tlm hardships of the North. In the small office of the purser there were more than $3,000,000 in • old. The ship's safe had been filled to overflowing and some of the vast wealth was slacked in boxes and in .acks on the floor. Suddenly there cante a sharp shock followed by four short blasts on the ship’s whistle. The Islander has struck a submerged reef around Douglas Island She ctrtied the Islander off the reef and she drifted for three miles before sinking with her precious cargo and 78 human lives. The vessel phinged to the bottom —3lO feet—far below the reach of anyknown diving outfit ot that day. New Diving Outfit Today, Henderson and Koller, have organized a salvage company, and with a diving outfit designed by Henderson they plan to seek tills treasure. Henderson is positive his outfit can be used successfully in water to a depth of $1)0 feet. It consists mainly of a tube about 15 feet long and weighing more than 5.000 pounds. Attached to the tube is a powerful light which the designer says will enable the occupant to see for a distance of 100 feet at any depth. Salvage will be accomplished by a mechnical hand managed by the occupant. Air is taken down in the tube in the tank and in sufficient quantity to last for four hourse. Position of the tube will be controll-

BOY, 13, GROWS TOWARD A NEW ALTITUDE MARK Atlanta, (Ju., Doc. 22 —<U.R>—How would you like to tie thirteen again but seven leer two inches tali’. That is lhe age and heighth of Henry .Mullins of Atlanta. He hopes to be a football star at Georgia Tech | some some day. Doctors say the trouble-If It can bo called that— is caused by overactivity of the youth's pituitary gland a I duckless organ below the brain. Such i overactlvlty causes the rise ot most' giants. Henry Mullins is in the seventh grade in school. His report card is usually worth showing to his father and mother—A's and B’s. On top ot that he is a good golf player. He goes around in the 80's and some of his drives are 250 yards. Henry doesn't look toward golf for success however. “All the club handles are too short anyway. 1 want to be a boxer and a football player, but I can't find anybody to box with me," he said. Henry’s shoes are size 14. The rest or his attire is in proportion. He plays end on the high school football team, center on the basketball team. He drops some baskets in without poking ills hand up over his head He played first base in baseball, and was utiltity man on the mound, Henry is a wow in sports! C. E. Mullins, a six-footer, brother of the young giant, claims his big brother eats cnly about as much as the average thfrteen-year-’old boy eats, "only it goes farther.’ If Henry keeps on growing—and he doesn’t want to — he will by averages with norniallysized humans—leap in’o something like ten feet of humanity—a world’s record. However, doctors are going to give me treatments to that little pituitary gland. o —•* Get the Habit—Trade at Home, It Pays
