Sails Atlantic in Rubber Boat

Lonely German Adventurer Talks to Sharks During His Long Trip. San Ju&n, Porto Rico. —Alone in a rubber sailing canoe not much larger than a portable bathtub, Capt. Franz Romer in his Deutscher Sport in which he has set out to cross the At lantic, has given Porto Kico its greatest thrill since Colonel Lindbergh arae here on his West Indies (light last February.' islanders have quite naturally com pared the daring and skill of the cap tain and colonel, and the lone German navigator has not come off second best. His. craft appears smaller than a single wing of the Spirit of St. Louis. In it he has traveled some 4.000 miles so far, ahd he is confident of getting io the United States and completing his voyage to New York after first touching at Florida. “Que pantalones!” literally “what pants!” but locally meaning ‘‘what nerve.” was the common exclamation at the sight of Captain Romer’s craft. Captain Komer’s visit here was un heralded. He put into port from St. Thomas, after about 20 hours sailing time. At St. Thomas he had had a rest of six weeks after 58 days of calm apd/storm from Las Palmas. Canary [islands, to the Virgin islands. His experiences during that time can best be imagined for he spoke little of them. He knew though, he said, that he was going to get all the way across the Atlantic, and he still had the greatest confidence in reaching the United States safely when he left here. From Florida he plans to make his way up the' coast to New York city. If possible he will fly back to Germany. Neither the air nor the sea nor things above or beneath seem to have any terrors for him. Twenty-One-Foot Sailing Craft. Other men have crossed the At lantic alone in various kinds of boats, have gone around the world, in fact But Captain Komer’s craft is certainly the first of its kind to venture on such a journey and probably the tiniest. The Deutscher Sport is a wooden frame craft of (he sailing canoe type, covered with rubber and canvas. It is 21 feet long and has a depth from canvas-covered deck to rubber bottom of 18 inches. Frame and covering may be dismounted and rolled in a bundle a man might haul under his arm. It carries an 8-foot mast. The deck is not more than six inches above the water line. At most times it is awash. So close is Romer to the wafer all the time that he maj drop his hands over the sides and dabble in the ocean. Water is kept «mt of the cockpit by means ot rubber sheets which he fastens to framework about the cockpit and then about himself. At night he may cover himself over completely with a combination helmet and cape of rubber which he fastens to the deck. He then breathes through a tube, gas-mask fashion. He puts ibis on instead of pajamas when he goes to bed—and going to bed Is just the same as sitting up. His navigating instruments include a small compass, barometer, sextant and glasses. At St. Thomas. Captain Romer'mounted a small out-board motor that was sent out from Germany. He said the motor might come tn handy in the case he ran into hurricane weather. His fuel supply—five gallons—was lashed on deck just aft of the tiny cockpit I’he crest is of Captain Komer’s own design and he set sail in it from Lisbon. Portugal, on the last day of March. He arrived at Las Palmas on April 17.

OFFICERS FIND BIG DOPE RING IN NORTH CAROLINA

Sweeping Investigation Into Drug , Traffic in That Section Now Being Pushed. Durham, N. C.—Evidence of a dope ring of stupendous proportions has been uncovered here following a raid which* resulted in the arrest of two Richmond (Va.) men at a Durham hotel by local detectives and federal agents. Large quantities of cocaine were found in the room with the two men. one of whom is said to have been under the Influence of narcotics at the time and who fought the officers attempting to arrest him with man! acai fury and strength. The resisting man was Joe Wil Hams.’ who, in addition to the narcotic charges, is charged with carrying a concealed weapon and with resisting officers. Carl Anderson is the name of the other man under arrest.

What happened during those first days of the lonely voyage only Captain Romer and his log know. Some day he may publish his log. He told little here. But he suggested enough to set the imagination to work. For instance, he said that the seas were so high at times that he did not even think whether he would ride them. When he anchored at Las Palmas he said he knew that his trip would be successful, that nothing any worse than the experiences of the first part of his journey could possibly befall him. Confident of Success. In those first days there were pe riods when he was wholly unconscious, he believes, and other times when he was only partly conscious. He man aged to keep his course much of the time with rudder line tied to the boom so that it mattered little whether he was asleep or awake. But there were days and nights of wakefulness —one stretch of five days and five nights when he had no sleep. And during all this time he was steeling himself to the discomfort and soreness that came from the necessity to remain for hours in one position; the exposure to sun and wind and rain and spray; fair days and storm; nights of either stars or clouds. And day or night for companions he had the waves and the uncommunicative inhabitants of the sea. Sometimes he sang to all outdoors, or talked to himself. Arriving at Las Palmas on April 27 it was not until June 2 that he go’ under way again. During that time he says he was ill and had a fever. If it was from exhaustion he neither admitted nor suggested it. But during that six weeks he got himself in shape to sail again, only to find that officials were so astounded at his daring that they refused him clearance papers foi his ship. He slipped out of port at night A Navigator and Aviator. It it .may be said he had a little more room in his canoe after leaving Las Palmas it is as much figure of speeecb as fact. At Lisbon be had stored in almost the entire hold of his craft sufficient supplies of food and water to last him across the Atlantic. The more food and water there was the less room .he had to stretch his tegs. Gradually he ate himself into his own ship. Captain Komer Is both a licensed navigator and a licensed aviator. That he is crossing the Atlantic in a sailing canoe instead of an airplane

Fighting Dengue Fever in Athens I' iH T I Jl Greek women coating the sidewalks in front of their home with a heavy layer of lime as a preventative measure against the deadly disease known as the dengue fever, which has been prevalent in Athens.

A sweeping investigation into the drug traffic in this part of the country is now being conducted, and officers declare they already have evidence on hand which shows a stupendous dope ring in operation out of some city in Virginia, probably Norfolk or Rich rnond. Additional arrests into the wholesale dope traffic are imminent Following the arrests of Williams and Anderson Federal Agent E. C. Miller and Detectives Hubert King and Roland Gill raided a cache located seven miles from Durham and made the largest capture of morphine ever found In this state. A realty drawn map of the location, taken from Mrs. Bartle Pendergrass, who was released from Jail here recently. when the grand Jury failed to Indict her. led to the capture. The hiorphlne taken, said to have a retail value of around was found, as the map indicated, lodged

is luck rather than his own choice/ Back in 1926 he wanted to get financial backing in Germany for a flight from Hamburg to New York. That was before Lindbergh crossed from New York to Paris. But Junkkers all thought Romer crazy, and told him so. Then the Keppel boat people looked him up. They asked whether he would be interested in sailing across the Atlantic in a collapsible rubber boat. He told them he would, if they permitted him to design the craft. They agreed. From Las z Palmas Captain Romer set out. little dreaming that it would take him 58 days to travel the 2.780 miles between Las Palmas and St. Thomas. At St. Thomas they gave him an official public reception and a medal. But this was after he had caught a few winks of sleep and visited the barber for the first time in two months and had had a chance to park his canoe in George Levi’s store, where thousands viewed it with much awe and exclamation. Stood and Sat in Turn. Between Las Palmas and St. Thomas there were days of dead calm, days of blistering heat, days and nights of storm. Sun and salt spray tortured Romer’s hands and arms, and they were swollen and blistered and stiff. He lost his hat in a wind. Then his head and neck and back got more of the sun. H 6 sat until he could sit no longer. He stood until his feet and legs would bear his weight no longer. Then he sat some more. Three sharks took a curious fancy to his craft. They played about the canoe, swimming from side to side, at times darting under the boat and coming so close that he could feel the scrape of the fins through the flexible rubber bottom Romer, lonely, talked to the sharks. They swam away. His trip from St Thomas to San Juan was probably the shortest leg of his whole trip to New York, unless he mhkes more stops up the coast than he seemed to have in mind here. Romer is twenty-nine and was born at Constance, in south Germany. He sent most of his clothes and other belongings on ahead to New York. During the war he was in submarines, and before that he worked in the Zeppelin plan . After the war, for a time, he took up aviation and later went to sea. When Romer gets back to Germany tie plans to get into airships again, not airplanes. He believes they are the passenger craft of the future. Incidentally. he has developed a device which he says will permit aviators to know their position at any time without the necessity of making sun or other observations. He hopes to patent it. Captain Romer said he did not swim. “What good would it do me?” he asked.

The stvL.’ is said to belong to Williams and Anderson, believed to be at the head of t:.e dope ring embracing important Southern cities. . it is ’ elieved by federal agents here that this dope is a part of a SiOO.OOO lot smuggled Into this country by a New ?ork peddler several weeks ago, and that it was brought here following a gang war among the peddlers of Richmond.

Widower Would Save Town Coming to the front when it was announced ‘that South Mimms, England, has had no marriages for 18 months, and there seemed no prospect of saving the town’s reputation in the near future, a widower, aged seventy-four, has volunteered to wed If he can find a bride with sufficient income for two.

You Cannot Have Health If Constipated “I am writing you in regard to Milks Emulsion. About two years ago I became constipated and suffered with piles. I tried all kinds of advertised medicines and didn’t get any results. I would have to take a cathartic every night. I fell off in weight from 185 to 165 pounds. I got so skinny I didn’t look like myself. “A friend advised me to try Milks Emulsion. After taking one or two bottles it did me so much good I wrote you for advice in the treatment of my case. I followed the instructions you gave me and used twelve bottles of Milks Emulsion and I am now in perfect health. I have gained 25 pounds. I recommend Milks Emulsion to every sufferer of constipation. “I want to thank you for your advice.” Yours truly, W. L. JONES. Greensboro, Ala., R. F. D. No. 5, Box 84.

Clean Kidneys By Drinking Lots of Water Take Salts to Flush Kidneys If Bladder Bothers or Back Hurts Eating too much rich food may produce kidney trouble in some form, says a well-known authority, because the acids created excite the kidneys. Then they become overworked, get sluggish, clog up and cause all sorts of distress, particularly backache and misery in the kidney region, rheumatic twinges, severe headaches, acid stomach, constipation, torpid liver, sleeplessness, bladder and urinary irritation. The moment your back hurts or kidneys aren’t acting right, or if bladder bothers you, begin drinking lots of good water and also get about four ounces of Jad Salts from any good pharmacy; take a tablespqonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys may then act fine. This, famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for years to flush clogged : kidneys and stimulate them to activj ity; also to neutralize the acids in i the system so that they no longer irritate, thus often relieving bladder I disorders. Jad Salts cannot injure anyone; makes a delightful effervescent lithiawater drink which millions of men and women take now and then to help keep the kidneys and urinary organs clean, thus often avoiding serious kidney disorders.
