SEARCHES FOR PLANES AT SEA PROVECOSTLY Steamship Lines Bear Loss When Liners Hunt Lost Fliers. By United Press LONDON, Au. 31.—Searching for lost trans-Atlantic fliers has become an inrxirtant item in the expense of or crating ocean liners. Even when a flight is successful, ships along the route taken by the aviators are obliged to provide an extra watch and to communicate the position of any ’plans sighted. This is cheerfully done, of course, and ships are diverted from their courses just as cheerfully when the word is received that a 'plane has been lost. But the expense to the shipping companies is far greater than the layman would imagine. Losses Heavy If a liner spends one day seeking a lost airplane, the shipping company must bear at least the following loss: One day’s extra pay for the crew, one day’s extra food for passengers, fuel for one extra day, one day lost in port before the return sailing. Then, too, passengers may miss connections in port or suffer business losses; the officers and crew are forced to work under nervou tension during the search and in attempting to regain lost time after the ship’s course is resumed. Officials of shipping companies dc not complain of this extra expense. Saving lives is part of the tradition of the sea. There is no thought of compensation. A remembrance for the captain or a donation for the ere wof a liner may be made in all sincerity, but it is nothing compared with the expense of a rescue. $14,000 a Day The actual cost of making a rescue at sea hardly can be estimated, a spokesman for the United States Lines in London told the United Press. If a stranded airplane sends out an SOS. all the ships within reasonable distance asnwer the call at full steam. But the plane may drift fifty to one hundred miles before it is sighted. The first ship on the scene will advise the others if their help is needed. “Soppose that the Leviathan, witl: I, passengers and 800 crew, loses a day in seeking or rescuing a transAtlantic plane. A conservative estimate, without counting a day lost in port before the return voyage, places the loss at $14,000.” Running Board Rider Killed By United Press CLEVELAND, Aug. 31.—William J. Spimler, 18, is dead because he insisted on riding on the running board of an auto. A truck came along from the opposite direction and brushed him off. His neck was broken.

The daughters of Mrs. M. E. Perry, Smith's Grove, Ky., don’t believe in the bobbed hair fad. This picture proves it. Only one of the five daughters at a recent reunion of Mrs. Perry's ten children had bobbed hair. The reunion was held at the home of Mrs. Hattie Suddeth, 330 E. lowa St. It was the first time in eleven years the family had been reunited. Back Row (Left to Right)—l. C. Perry, R. R. G.,

Hoosier Marine Deplores Conditions Seen in China

Covington Man Visits Home After 11 Months in • Orient. Lack of> educational, correspondence and transportation facilities is responsible for the difficulty in establishing stable government in China, says Lieut. David M. Shoup of Covington, Ind. Shoup, who entered the United States marine corps in 1926 following graduation from De Pauw University, Greeneastle, Ind., has returned from eleven months in the Orient. “Methods of communication are such in the interior of China that an event in a town twenty-five miles away may never be heard of. It is not like in America, where news travels fast,” Shoup declared. Marines are stationed as “watch dogs” along the China coast to promote commercial relations with the Orient. Shoup personally witnessed outrages of the depraved soldiers who had gone months without food, clothing and money. Banditry in China differs somewhat from the American tactics, he said. “It is a common thing for a desperado to form a band of bandits who kidnap a wealthy man and hold him for ransom. It is easy for a leader to form a bandit band by offering depraved soldiers a small recompense in food or clothes,” he said. Shoup said Chinese like the marines and often refer to them as “good will envoys.” He was in

Canton three days after the famous riot and saw the results of the outrages. Employment of the uneducated natives is one of China’s problems. “Officials prohibited the use of modern grain mills and machinery to saw timbers because it robbed the labor class of work,” Shoup said. “Oxen and crude pjows are still used to till the rice fields.” One class of natives spend their lives in sampans, small boats pro-

Shoup returned to Quantico to join the eastern coast aircraft squadron. “Political Picnic” Defrauds 200 By United Press JERSEY CITY, N. J„ Aug. 30.

MOVE TO CALL ARMSPARLEY Propose League Commission Meet in November. By United Press GENEVA, Aug. 31.—A new move in the disarmament controversy appeared likely today after two days conferences between Paul Boncour and Lord Cushendun. It was considered highly probable that an attempt would be made to convoke the preparatory disarmament commission immediately after the forthcoming session of the League of Nations Assembly, which opens Monday. In event convocation is possible the preparatory commission probably will meet late in November or the early part of December. Meanwhile efforts of the league

A commission was formed to draft the convention but was forced to adjourn when a full agreement was found impossible. All of the governments represented on the commission were acceptable in principle to the publicity control proposal, but they were unable to agree whether it should apply merely to the value of war material produced or also should apply to the weight and number of pieces.
