fiICK TURNS HIMSELF riNTO A STEAMSHIP

Halliburton in His New Book Tells How He Went Through the Fifty Miles of Panama Canal as a Boat. BY WALTER D. HICKMAN DID you ever hear of a man turning himself into a steamship and of competing with other boats in navigating the fifty miles of the Panama canal from Colon to Panama? It may seem to be a wild and silly idea but Richard Halliburton turned himself into the S.S. Richard Halliburton and was raised and lowered through the locks like any boat. Since Dick Halliburton wrote “The Royal Road to Romance,’’ he has become famous. He is even an institution. His world-wide following makes it possible for him to do stunts that he could never have attempted when he was just an “infant” literary traveler.

But now the name of Halliburton is an institution and has power and every governor or what not in about .any foreign country knows that Halliburton has his own following just like Lindbergh. In other words, Dick Halliburton is a show and at times he is nearly a three-ring circus. And I was more convinced of that than ever on reading his latest, "New Worlds to Con- ; quer,” just published by the BobbsMerril Company. I was not surprised to read that Dick turned himself into a steamship and swam for day after day through the Panama canal like "any other boat.” He had to pay toll just like any other ship and had to have an official permit from the Governor to be considered as the “S. S. Halliburton.” When Halliburton hit the first lock, the superintendent couldn't get it into his head how a human being could be a boat. He was sure that either the Governor or Halliburton was crazy, maybe both. But orders were orders and Halliburton was officially recognized as a boat and was to be lowered and raised through the locks like a real boat. As Dick tells you in his book—- “ Governor Walker and I agreed that I was to pay like all other ships—according to my tonage. I'm the S. S. Richard Halliburton, registered in Memphis, Tenn. Length, five feet ton inches; beam, cne foot; tonnage. 140 pounds—that’s one-thirteenth of one ion.” And then the superintendent told •Dick that he owed him 36 cents. I believe that the chapters devoted to this swim are the most exciting in the book because here is theater. Dick dreamed of this adventure for years. He told me personally of this veers before he mad" the swim. And he gives you real romance and adventure in these chanters. The boys of the world, regardless of whether they are in their teens or in the seventies, will love this part of Halliburton’s book. I find more historic background and more careful detail to developing the historical side of the places visited than Dick has done in his previous books. Dick does his various stunts In this book in San. Salvador; on the trail of Cortez; in Yucatan; in Nicaragua; in Peru, across the Andes to Argentina, French Guiana and Devil’s Island. To me his story of his. adventure in Devil’s Island will be the most discussed because so little is actually known of the facts. The world will love when Halliburton buys a monkey and turns organ grinder. Here is romance and this chapter alone made me envy my lriend. Halliburton, not the monkey. To me his imitation of Robinson Crusoe was too melodramatic and too much like an impersonation. But “New Worlds to Conquer” Is miles ahead of “The Glorious Adventure,” and a much more entertaining volume than his first novelty, “The Royal Road to Romance.” Here is Dick Halliburton being just himself and wonderfully so. Here is a book that the entire world will love. tt o a Tonight at English's. “Porgy,' - * the New York Theatre Guild production, opens a three-night engagement.

How to Get That Youthful Feeling Over in Great Britain when a man is feeling "as fit as a fiddle” and looking the “picture of health” they say: “HE'S GOT THAT KRUSCHEN FEELING.” That means he has the Kruschen habit—that he takes his little dose of Kruschen Salts every morning. It's the same in Germany—in Holland—in Austrailia and in Canada for Kruschen Balts are now sold the world over. Kruschen Salts are now being sold in the United States and that "Kruschen feeling” of glorious vitality—of radiant health—of internal cleanliness—is already known to hundreds of thousands of wise men and women. Kruschen Salts is not one salt only—it is the combination of six vitalizing salts necessary to healthy life—without these salts you coulcl not live. Take one-half teaspoon in a glass of hot water before breakfast every morning. Asa cathartic or for speedy blissful bowel action take one level teaspoonful. But don't miss a morning for Kruschen not only puts and keeps the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels in t splendid healthy condition, but it drives harmful acids and poisons from the system and sends pure blood coursing thru your veins. Get a bottle ol’ Kruschen Saits at Hook's Dependable Drug stores or any drug store in America today and start tomorrow morning to lose unneeded and unwanted fat and to get that feeling of youth—an 85 rent bottle lasts 4 weeks. If you aren’t gloriously satisfied get your money back.—Advertisement.

HOPE GONE FOR IRONING OOT OF PARITYDISPOTE Preliminary Agreement Hits Snag Over Mussolini's Naval Demands. By United Press PARIS, Dec. s.—The preliminary Franco-Italian naval disarmament conversations reached another deadlock today with the prospect of their immediate termination, leaving the tangled problem of the parity differences of the two nations to be settled at the London five-power conference in January. There was only one move which it was believed could possibly save the conferences which were begun some time ago between Forign Minister Aristide Briand and the Italian ambassador, Count Gaetano Manzoni. That was Italy’s submergence of her ’nsisted demands for continental parity with France, which were set forth by Premier Musoslini in a note transmitted to France by Count Manzoni. Premier Mussolini was believed as unlikely to alter his stand as was Briand, who Wednesday told Count Manzoni that France never would accept naval parity with Italy and would refuse to discuss such parity it the five-power conference. Critics saw little hope for the conversations and agreed that the work of the London conference would be complicated further by the differences between France and Italy. Several critics declared that Italy was being made the tool of the United States and Great Britain to force France into abolishing or drastically reducing her submarine
