LIGHTHOUSE SERVICE RESCUED IN DILEMMA Weather Bureau Tells llow Beacon Can Be Sighted 34 Miles. By. United Press r WASHINGTON, March 20.—The United States Lighthouse Service recently \fras saved from an embarrassing situation by a sister department, the weather bure&u. It occurred over an alleged impossibility. The service bulletin published the report that a relief lightship had sighted the Tybee light on the coast of Georgia, for a distance of thirty-four miles, despite the fact the department previously maintained it impossible to see the, light more than fifteen miles. The weather bureau stepped in and explained the apparent fallacy. The bureau termed the phenomenon a “looming,” caused by “inversion,” and declared' it perfectly passible to see around the curvature of the earth. Inversion was explained as a reversal of the usual weather condi? tions whereby air at the surface is cold while that above is warm, causing the rays from the lighthouse to bend downward and follow the earth’s curve, light traveling more quickly through the warm air than through the cold. The Hohenzollern Palace at Pots--dam contains 600 rooms, but only two bathrooms.

SOVIET CHILDREN WIN CHESS PLAY HONORS Generation Should Produce 50 Experts, Master Says. By United Press MOSCOW, March 20.—Although chess usually is considered a game for sage oldsters, this is not true in the Soviet Union. Soviet children have just completed their first AllUnion tournament. They showed great ability. One 14-year-old boy w r on a game from Michael Botvinnik, Soviet professional, while a 16-year-old lad played the master to a draw. It should be explained, however, that Botvinnik was played on twentyfive boards simultaneously. Botvinnik told the young chess enthusiasts' “My generation produced ten first-rate chess players. Yours should produce at least fifty.” Leningrad children too kfirst place in the tournament, those of Rostov second, and those of Moscow third.

For more than a year, a controversy has existed as to whether the plaintiffs lost their status as church officers when Ernest Speer and Albert G. Lloyd were appointed to similar posts.

blood will tell

ONE of the mysteries of life is how much care a man will take of thoroughbred animals—noting when they are “off” ... and toning them back to the “pink of condition” to increase their usefulness ... yet will shamefully neglect his own run-down condition. Certainly, there is a pardonable pride in an animal’s healthy appearance... but human beings are more important than animals. Yet some people just hope when “run-down” that they will “come around.” It is just good “horse-sense” to reflect and reason that your so-called “tired feeling” may come from a lowered red-blood-cell count and the hemo-glo-bin in these cells. There is a remedy specially designed to bring back strength to ■weakened blood ... and no one can be strong, healthy, happy and full of vitality when in a run-down condition. S.S.S. Blood Tonic is a time-tested remedy for restoring deficient red-blood-cells and a low hemo-glo-bin content. If you suspect an organic disease consult your physician... if you feel weak ... lack a keen appetite ... if your skin is pale and off-color try S.S.S. as a part of your regular daily diet. Take it just before meals. Unless your case is exceptional, you should soon notice a pick-up in your appetite... your color and skin should improve with increased strength and energy. S.S.S. is not just a so-called tonic but a tonic specially designed to stimulate gastric secretions, and also having the mineral elements so very, very necessary in rebuilding the oxygen-carrying hemo-glo-bin of the blood to enable you to “carry on” without exhaustion as you should naturally. S.S.S. value has been proven by generations of use, as well as by modern scientific appraisal. It is truly a blood and body tonic. You will find it at all drug stores in two convenient sizes... the larger size is more economical. ' There is vo substitute for S.S.S. Secure S.S.S. from your own druggist... with few exceptions druggists are ethical and conscientious, and well not suggest a substitute. No medicine has the same formula as this time-tested Blood Tonic... nor does any other concern gather the same roots with their own trained collectors and extract the active medicinal principles, unchanged, in their original fresh state —this is the secret of 5.5.5.... there is no substitute. Thousands of people have a low red-blood-cell count and don’t recognize it. S.S.S. is useful in promoting a keen appetite and restoring deficient red-blood-cells and their hemo-glo-bin content which are so necessary for sound health. ©The S.S.S. Cos.

Red Pimples on Face. Was Unable to Sleep. Healed by Cuticura. S? “Blackheads began to appear on my nose and chin in large numbers, and pimples broke out on my face and forehead. I began to feel ashamed and hated to go places. The pimples were red and festered and came to a head. They were scattered all over my face and itched causing me to irritate my face by scratching. Many nights I was unable to sleep. “A friend suggested Cuticura Soap and Ointment and I wrote for a free sample. I bought more and after using two cakes of Cuticura Soap and one box of Cuticura Ointment I was completely healed.” (Signed) Miss Dortha Hall, R. 1, Byesville, Ohio, June 24,1933. OfiCUrfc. Seap 25c.

NUDITY BANNED BY COUNCIL IN NEW ORDINANCE Theaters, Private Performers Face Heavy Fines for Violations. The city council last night banned nudity in public performances in an amended city ordinance introduced by Herbert M. Spencer, assistant city attorney. , Aimed at theaters and private performances, the ordinance was broadened to include any person who appears nude “where there are other persons to be offended.” A maximum fine of SIOO and a maximum sentence of six months is provided for violators. The ordinance also provides for the revocation of theater licenses for operators who permit nude dances in their theaters. Those operating without a license will be subject to a maximum fine of SSOO. At the last meeting, the city council refused to pass the original ordinance because it struck only at theaters. Mr. Spencer was asked to prepare an ordinance which would include all examples of public nudity.
