We found it a plain fishing town with about 26,000 people. A good many can speak English. The peojile are very polite, and the men ; yaise their hats to each other. When walking or riding in the ( country we saw little patches of j grass with the rest all rock. It is j rocky all over the isle, w r ith a little grass on top. Hay is the big crop, with some i potatoes and some truck farming, j They raise sheep on the mountains.; There are some cattle, and many |jomes. We took a two-day trip to Thingvala, where we saw 10.000 tents pitched for people who had come to the celebration We also saw where people had thrown coins in a pool for one thousand years for good luck. On the bottom of the pool we could see the coins. We helped the collection along. There was a drowning pool. When n man was sentenced to death they would waik the man off the edge of a cliff with his hands tied behind him. At the bottom was a pool about six feet deep. The man would break his neck in the shallow pool and drown.

HUEY P. LONG SEEKS POST OF U. S, SENATOR : Louisiana Governor, Once a ‘Drummer,’ Is Doubtful Over Prohibition. BY MORRIS DEHAVEN TRACY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW ORLEANS, La., Aug. 18.— Governor Huey Long, one time ‘‘drummer on the road, selling hardware, lard, groceries, most anything,” aspires to be a United States senator. The man who often has been in the public prints for his spectacular administration told the United Press I he favors tariff and debentures, and 1 does not know “what I would do about prohibition if I were given power.” Goes on Offensive Long is not yet 40. The age of 16 found him “a drummer on the road.” Until he was 21 he was a ‘•drummer.” Then, with a little more than a year’s study at the University of Oklahoma and Tulane, he became a lawyer. A little more than two years ago, he was elected Governor. Since then he has fought off one attempt to impeach him. Now he seems to be upon the offensive as he tours the state, driving his own car, accompanied by a big truck which carries amplifying apparatus, and makes speeches. Wants Tariff Experts “I believe in a tariff, not too high, and only where it’s needed. That will help the working man and build industry,” he says. “But about this tariff business. I don't think it really ought to be in politics. “What we ought to have is a body of experts who do nothing but study the tariff, and they should have charge of it. They should hold office long enough to know their business. “But they should be changed before the big interests give their wives too many society dinners.
