It , ounded Saint Gildas Point about three miles out because of the i da " B ®r, 0( being driven on the t rocks, but when she headed for the , Loire estuary rain and the gale .caught her broadside. She swiftly ? Keeled to starboard, evidently due rush of the excited passengIhe boat then seemed to turn toward shore, as though the captain (realized the danger of exposing his I Port to the waves and wind At f i that moment the ship turned over. Mie sank within three minutes. The passengers were thrown into the I water. "The rescue tug Pornic was in danger many times as it fought into the gale, its decks washed by the rough waves on its way to the I scene of the disaster.” , Most of the dead on the Saint Philbert belonged to families at Saint jv’azaire and Nantes. Many were members of the Workers’ Co--operative Union, and almost all l were of the working class. Nearly 100 passengers on the , 1 excursion to the Island of NoirmouJtier were saved because of their prudence. They decided to spent the night on the island in the bay I rather than risk the return journey Jin the face of the treatening storm. Albert Berthy, one of the surviv- , |ors, who reached Saint Nazaire amid sad scenes as hundreds peerled anxiously at the rescue tugs for ’ i word of their relatives, described . his experiences to the United Press II correspondent. Berthy said: "The outward crossing to the island was rough toward the end and I many got sick. Probably Im) of the excursion, ill and noticing the I wind increasing, decided to remain ‘I at Noirmoutier over night and ; I cross to the mainland at Pronic to | morrow, taking a train to Saint | Nazaire. • ■ "My watch stopped at 6:30 p. in., • - the moment we were thrown into the water. lam convinced that the . I accident was due to the fear of 300 I passengers who gathered in star- . (board cabins and on deck because ot the blinding gale and rain. They rushed to that side despite the ! heroic efforts of the crew to divide the weight. "With the ship keeling over 30 (degrees, a 40-foot wave caught the port side and rolled the ship over, spilling water on others trapped in their cabins. The ship rapidly filled and sank before some could clear the wreckage. "The storm made swimming difficult. Dozens sank within the space :of a minute or two. A score or j more battled on. I reached an oar I and then a boat in which eight (ether survivors already were resl cued. But two fell overboard when (the lifeboat was nearly capsized by a great wave, leaving seven of us | saved." Survivors said Captain Olive of I the Saint Philbert stood on the I bridge of his ship as it overturned. The minister of merchant marine, Charles do Chappedelaine, estimated there were 300 dead. He said, however, that the only known list |of passengers indicated 467 left i Saint Nazaire. Forty-four of the passengers whe remained at Noirmoutier over night I arrived at Nantes today, after crossI ing to Pornic. —o— CAPONE LOSES POWER, MONEY AGENTS CLAIM ( ONTINt LU FROM PAGE ONE! emment inis not lost a case. "Nor will we lose this one’’ a I prosecutor told the United Press. 1 "No jury in the world would ; acquit Capone." And Capone can’t escape a jury unless Johnson agrees, according to a recent ruling r.f the supreme court. Johnson rays he’ll never agree. Capone is the last big prize among his gang leaders to fall a victim to the government's drive. His brother. Ralph, was convicted of income tax evasion and sentenced to ‘three years; Frank Nitli. his cousin, was sacrificed by Al and pleaded guilty Jo 18 months without a fight. It was reported at the time that Capone hoped to sacrifice his cousin to stop the government’s drive. Jack Guzik, Capone’s "business manager?’ was convicted and sentenced to five years, the longest term ever meted out to an income tax evader. Sam Guzik. Jack’s brother, got one year. Frankie Lake and Terry Druggan became panicked and hurried in to plead guilty, their sentences to depend on the outcome of Ralph Capone’s appeal, still pending. Bit by bit the whole story of how the government agents delved |

into the 10 years of Capone lawlessness and pieced together the evidence that stands against him is becoming known. The drive was headed by Attorney General Mitchell in Washington and, it is reported, was actively backed by President Hoover. The chief figures in Chicago were Johnson, A. I*. Madden, chief investigator of the internal revenue department and eight young college graduates, working as a special prohibition detail, in addition there were scores of investigators, clerks and other employes engaged in the drive at one time or aiiother. In the end, the various groups revealed that the Capone gang income from beer alone in 10 years amounted to $200,000,000. The $500,000,000 estimated receipts in I ‘hard” liquor, brought the gang's) income to $700,000,000, or almost I within the billion dollar class, not counting the flow of gold that! poured into the Capone coffers ‘ from his vice resorts and gambling enterprises. That staggering sum was taken from the legitimate channels of commerce and used to buy immunity in Chicago and in the four | • cornet’s* of the nation, government I prosecutors said, for the gang’s Activities extended from coast to coast and from the lakes to the gulf. Johnson especially pointed out for praise one quiet, unassuming agent who played a prominent part in the smashing of the gang at the risk of his life and in the face of bribes that in some cases represented a year’s salary of $2,800. The agent is Eliot Ness, a University of Chicago gradate. He I with the seven other college grad-'

IT IS EASY enough to buy wisely when you can see what you are getting. But how about those products that you can7 see? Foods, drugs, toilet necessities —all hidden by a bottle or a package. If you do not recognize the name on the label, how can you judge the value behind it? You can't! Shopping experience has proved this to millions of women. But experience uses bitter methods. Costly methods. When you buy only those products which you see advertised regularly week after week, in newspapers and magazines—when you are guided by the names you know — you are safe.

nates perfected the conspiracy case against Capone. Several climes while trailing beer trucks or waiting outside Capone breweries to get evidence, Ness and his fellow (agents were offered bribes to move on a block or so and not “see” the leer trucks enter and leave the place. Chicago, June 15 —(U.R)— Here are some of the things that might have been done with the money it is said Al Capone has made since 1921: Paid the combined debts of the Latvia, Lithuania and Finland; ( United States of Poland, Belgium, Met practically all of the expenses of tne state of Nebraska ( or kept all factories running in Montana; Paid almost all the 1,910,922 i I war veterans who borrowed $730,-1 000,000 from the government on I their bonuses. The income last year from beer | alone might have paid off all the Christmas savings accounts in Chicago or operated the police department. U. S. Attorney George E. O. j Johnson says the total would ade--1 quately enforce prohibptiou in America. "But,” added the prosecutor, “even $700,000,000 would not buy Capone his freedom after we convict him." — o — The Lord's Day Sunday is always considered the j first day of the week. From the early days of Christianity it was observed as the Lord’s day by many Christians, though many of them observed the Jewish Sabbath or the seventh day also

But when you experiment with untried brands—substitute products which you are told are “just as good” —you may be sorry. The manufacturer who knows the wisdom of advertising also knows the folly of false claims. His integrity is the integrity of his product. Your good will is the rock on which he stands. If it crumbles, his success goes with it into dust. / The truthful, consistent advertising of any manufacturer is proof of his
