—Dietz on Science — ‘LOST’ PACIFIC ISLE BELIEVED NONEXISTENT U. S. Surveyors Mark Land Off Sea Charts As Imaginary. m DAVID DIET/ ard Editor Ganges Island Is missing. According to the map it is in the North Pacific. But a Japanese naval survey reports that it can't find the island. Experts of the U. S. hydroriraphic office offer the simplest solution of the mystery. They say that in all probability there never \*a.s any Ganges island except on the map. They point out that one of the duties of map-makers during the ]a;=t century has been to get rid of many supposed Islands that earlier navigators thought they had sighted in tiie fog. However, one should not criticize the early map-makrrs for listing these islands. There's no damage done if a ship captain comes to a spot on the ocean where the map lists an island and finds none. But at night or in a fog, plenty of damage could be done if he ran his ship into an island that the map failed to list. We should not be surprised that our knowledge of the ocean still is incomplete, for it is only a few cen- j turies since men stood upon the i shores of Europe with no idea of what lay on the other side.

Myths Are Numerous In those days when the ocean was thought to be full of sea-serpents waiting to swallow up tiny sailing ships, maps of the Atlantic were dotted with islands which have since been shown to be figments of the imagination. These mythical islands were no mere points of land like the missing Ganges island, but earthly paradises to stir the imagination and fire the spirit. The most famous of these legendary islands were St. Brandans island, Antiilia or the Isle of the Seven Cities, and Atlantis. The lame of Atlantis has by no means subsided even now and periodically come trusting soul sets out to find it. Diving expeditions are occasionally organized on the assumption that the island has sunk beneath the waves. The theory is that marvelous treasures of gold and jewels lie In its water-covered cities. Legend Hinges on Fish The stories of St. Brandan s island relate to the adventures of an Irish abbott, St. Brandan, who lived in 'the sixth century. In many ways, his adventures were as remarkable as i hose which Ulysses had in Homer's “Oddysoy.” One island which the good abbott is supposed to have visited possessed white sheep which were larger than oxen. On another voyage, he alighted on what he thought was a small island, lit a fire, and then was surprised to find the island beginning to move. The island was really a gigantic fish, the ancient legend assures us. But the most marvelous island which the abbott visited was the one to which his name was attached. This island was supposed to possess a mild climate and a fruitful soil. Maps of the thirteenth century show this island in various locations. Prior to the discovery ot America it was placed in the vicinity of the Canaries or the Madeiras. Maps of the sixteenth century show it further to the west. In the last thirty years, machinery and power on farms have made it possible to grow' wheat and corn with about half the human labor previously needed.

Indianapolis Has Its Own Amateur Movie Colony W. Stuart Bussey Will Exhibit Photoplays Made by Young Film Actors in Other Cities at Cropsey Auditorium. BY WALTER D. HICKMAN INDIANAPOLIS has its own amateur movie colony and friends will gather at Cropsey auditorium at the city library tonight as they did last night to see amateur photoplays made by similar groups in other cities m this country. Amateur movies are not only made in this city but they mav be developed, titled and edited in a modem laboratory of W. Stuart Bussey at 814 North Meridian street., Anybody interested in these amateur movies are invited to attend the showing of these photoplays tonight without admission fee. The films to be shown are the winners selected in a national amateur

contest conducted by the American Society of Cinematographers who publish the professional magazines. •The American Cinematographer," in Hollywood. Mr. Bussey has provided for me the following information concerning these movies as well as an interesting account of Indianapolis Made Movies: "These prize films are non-pro-fessional and are quite interesting to the movie maker in seeing the technique of others and possibly gather a few ideas to improve their own filming. There were more than 200 amateurs who competed for these prizes and the contest was world wide with several foreign films submitted. Tarzan Picture Wins “The first prize went to William A. Palmer and Ernest W. Page, Palo Alto, Cal., for their three-reel film entitled 'Tarzan Jr.’ All players in this picttire were boys in a summer camp who discovered one of their members has a movie camera decided to make a motion picture. "They based their story on Tarzan and worked up a splendid bit, of comedy, interjected a fine piece of melodrama with an Alger Jr. finish that rounded it out into a production that many of the judges felt would have been worthy of showing in any theater. The acting, direction, story and handling as a whole w T as considered equal to many a professional comedy. ‘‘‘The second prize went to Tatsuichi Okamoto of Matsuyama. Japan, for his reel entitled ‘Lullaby.’ The outstanding features of Okamoto’s work is his photography and composition. “A Novel Movie” “The third prize went to S. W. Childs Jr. of New York City for his one-reel film entitled ‘l'd Be Delighted To!’ His film aroused mueh admiratio for the novel way in which he handled his one-reel picture. The whole story is told with hands and feet, and all interiors. and was rated high. "Last, summer some friends and I produced a film entitled ‘The Green-Eyed Monster.’ and we had a lot of fun making it. Hie acting is pretty fair considering the actors and actresses were inexperienced in movie technique. I shall try to show' this film also for it is a local picture, but was not entered in the movie contest. “Creates Much Interest” “Our npw production entitled ‘The Caveman,' Is partially finished and owing to an unfortunate incident, the leading lady was thrown from her horse and she suffered a broken bone in her foot, which meant the hospital for a few weeks and thvi home in a plaster cast. "This show r and future ones is to create interest among amateur movie makers in this city. We have a small club with no financial obligation, and when we make a film, we divided the cost. I have no special ‘ax to grind’ for these showings are to be free and any one interested in movies is welcome. "It is my plan to have “sound” with the pictures. I have a fine library of recorded music and have in the past used discs to good advantage.”

COMMCT BRIDGE BY W. E. M KENNEY Scrretaiv American Bride* L*aiue IAM going to explain today a few of the interesting angles of the negative double, which Mr. P. Hal Sims has been developing for the last four years, and which he recently announced to the playing public. In the following hand. South w’ould open the bidding with ons spade. West should not overcall with two hearts. In the past, to make an informatory double show'ed partner that you held three to three and one-half high-card tricks—but that w'as an old auction double. Under this new negative double, when you double one major suit, you are showing support for the other major. Therefore, the proper thing to do with the West hand is to double, thus telling partner that you can stand a heart takeout, if worst comes to worst—if he should bid one no trump or tw'o clubs—you can still bid two hearts. In the meantime, you have had an opportunity to gain some information. North would pass the double. East w'ould bid one no trump. South then w'ould show' his second suit with a bid of two clubs. West would pass, knowing that his partner does pot have four hearts. North w'ould now' probably bid two hearts, even though he know's West has hearts, simply endeavoring to fill his partner's hand for no trump. South would go to three no trump, which can be made. a a a HOWEVER, suppose you were sitting in the North and playing against a pair that did not use the negative double. South would

bid one spade, West would overcall with tw'o hearts. What should you do with the North holding? If you w r ere to double now with North's hand, which is too weak South would have to pass, and West could make two hearts doubled. However, the queen of spades would be the proper opening. Even with the jack of clubs opening by North, the declarer can still make two hearts. It is an interesting hand to play. The declarer must finesse the jack of spades and eventually ruff the good jack of diamonds with the jack of hearts in dummy. Lay the hand out and see if you can make two hearts doubled with the jack of clubs opening. iCoDvrieht. 1933. bv NEA Seyvic*. Inc.)

RUSSIAN AID SEEN FOR U. S. IN FAR EAST Soviet Co-Operation Will Be Offered in Return for Recogntion. By T'nUrri Vrrm LONDON, July 13 Soiiet Russia is prepared to offer the United States co-operation in the maintenance of peace in the far east in addition to commercial .advantages in return for recognition, the United Press has learned authoritatively. Observers attached considerable importance to this move, which, it was felt, might shift appreciably the balance of power in the far east in favor of the Unitod States. It was believed this conception of Soviet Russian-American co-opera-tion emerged as a result of conversations in recent months in inner political circles at Moscow', w'here the conviction prevails if such an arrangement had existed in Sep-
