WOLCOTT (Associated Press Correspondent) CANTON, China, May 3—“Peace on earth, good will toward our British neighbors at Hongkong,” is now the government sanctioned slogan of South China. Since General Li Chai-sum, head of the Cantonese government, and Sir Cecil dementi, governor of British Hongkong, exchanged vis its several weeks ago, relations between the two governments have been more cordial than at any time during the past five years, reports from both British and Chinese sources agree. General LI went to Hongkong and was the guest of the British Governor, and then Sir Cecil came to Canton as the guest of General Li. The “peace on earth” slogan was decreed by the Chinese au thorities. Several humorous incidents oc curred during the exchange of visits of the two officials. When Geieral Li went to Hongkong, HoVgkong Chinese flew the Chi nese nationalist flag for the first time. As a result the Hongkong flagmakers worked overtime sup plying the demand. When Sir I C* PRINCE AND AMERICAN GIRL ELOPE ———————————MM MIIU His Royal Highness Prince Charles Phillipe, the Duke de Nemours, only son and heir of the Duke and Duchess de Ven dome (left), is reported to have eloped to London with Miss Margaret Watson (right), of Washington, D.

May 3—Evi dence described as further indica tion that Teapot Dome is being drained by the Salt Creek Field wells has developed through the use of analine dye tests in ad joining fields, says a report to the State Geologist from an offi cial inspector. Three weeks ago a large quanti ty of dye was deposited in the Teapot Dome properties and after seven days began to appear in the Salt Creek oil wells. Cecil came to Canton, the Union Jack was the order of the day, and in turn the local flagmakers r-aped their harvest, sewing ma c_ ines hummed day and night be fore the British chief arrived, and even the paint makers’ shops felt the strain. Anti-foreign slogans were scrubbed from walls and the "peace on earth” phrase took its place. Those who failed to fly the Union Jack were fined five dol lars. When Sir Cecil arrived a Chi nese gunboat boomed out a salute of 17 guns and a celestial band in scarlet and sky blue uniforms, smothered all noises in “God Save the King.” After two days of birds’ nest soup, fatted calf and sharks’ fins feasts Sir Cecil was taken for a launch ride along the Canton wa terfront, this event closing his visit to Canton. Ahead of the of ficial launch was another bearing a Chinese band, which played “The End of a Perfect Daj.” Since the British Governi ir’s de parture rumors of a ten million dollar loan from Hongkong to the Canton government have been rife. —jeJ *4-*--51 i 1 John Matson Dies; Medical Aid Too Late CORDOVA, Alaska, May 3— John Matson, fisherman, aged j 73 yet.A, 1 ph-ttw?- up by the j halibut schdoner Defense of Ketchikan, in Llsianski Strait after he had been drifting for j seven days in a small boat, j without food, and taken to j j Soapstone Point radio station, died there.

"Why, had i been 24 hours j late with my first letter, Premier Poincare would have signed the debt agreement. Now what they are trying to do is to abolish the Dawes plan. It is idiotic.

Hoover Only Entrant In New Jersey Primary; Democrats Favor Smith V New Jersey's two senators, Walter Edge (left), Republi can, and Edward I. Edwards (right), Democrat, head their party slates seeking election as national convention dele gates at the primary May 15. Edge is pledged to Herbert Hoover, only entrant in New Jersey's presidential prefer ence primary. No Demo 'a' opposition to Alfred E. fim.th is represented in the voting. Rep. Mary T. Norton (below) is a Democratic candidate for delegate. TRENTON, N. J., May H r bert Hoover, secretary com merce, is the only entrant in New Jersey's presidential preference primary on May 15. On the uemocrailc side, Gover nor Alfred E. Smith, while not of j fieially seeking endorsement, ha the support of many delegate can lidates. The battles of Jertsey politicians, the red fire, oratory and bands, however, have little to do with the forthcoming presidential pref srence primary. The preference vote has been largely forgotten in j the hot fights for nomination, on the same date, of candidates for state office. Pew of the delegate candidates tor delegate face contests, and the primary itself is merely an ex pression of preference, not binding jpon delegates. Thirty-four Democrats seek the 12 places to which New Jersey is ?ntitled in the Houston conven tion, while -11 Republicans want he 31 places apportioned Jersey nen at Kansas City. Of the Democratic candidates 13 ire recorded for Smith and many )f the rest favor the governor of Vew York. Senator Edward I. Edwards, Joy. A. Harry Moore and three 'epresentatlves, Mary T. Norton, Paul J. Moore, and O. G. Auf der Heide, will be members of the Democratic delegation. U. S. Senator Walter E. Edge leads the list of seven Republican candidates for delegates-at-large pledged to Hoover. A lone eon .ender for a place on tills slate s pledged to Charles G. Dawes. Fourteen of the 41 Republican candidates are pledged to Hoover, tight are for President t'oolidge 'irst and Hoover second, six are ’or Frank O. Lowden and one for Senator Edge. While little excitement prevails tver the selection of delegates to the political conventions, a four sided contest for the Republican nomination for governor and a live-sided contest for the Republi tan nomination for United States I senator has stirred the stale. Thi senatorial quest is for the seal now held by Senator Edwards. Not since 1916, when guberna torlal and presidential elections ilso coincided, has New Jersey ilected a Republican governor. Among the senatorial candidates ire Joseph Frelinghuysen, former senator, and Hamilton F. Kean, former national committeeman. Senator Edge has given bis sup port to Edward C. Stokes, former jovernor. One woman, Mrs. Eli ian S. Feickert, is in th<‘ race on l dry platform. All others favor i referendum for ritodification of the prohibition law. There are 10 contests for Democratic nom inations for senator or governor. TIMBUCTOO NEARER TIMBUCTOO, India The re noteness of this city is threat ined by air travel.

THE C ALIFORNIA DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY. That was a great fight In the California pri maries and it was managed by great leadership. Gov. Smith, Senator Walsh and Senator Heed are all National characters in all the term im plies. But at that the leaders in the local fight were scarcely less renowned. James 1). l’helan led the tight for (low Smith. William U. McAdoo for Senator Walsh and William Randolph Hears! for Senator Heed. And let it be said, in Cali fornia at least, former Senator, former Mayor and former Chairman of San Francisco's Fire Re habilitation Committee James 1>. I’lielan is not one whit less an Important ligure than either Mr. McAdoo or Mr. Hearst. However, the California voters, rather than leadership, were the determ ining factors in the battle of ballots, and by an overwhelming majority they determined it in favor of Gov. Smith. California lias added zest to the paraphrase, “Fast Coast, West Coast, All Around the Land.” From the Atlantic New England and Middle States, through the great Midwest that straddles the Mississippi, across the Mountain States and up anil down the Pacific Coast, Including sec tions that are wet or regarded so and arid, or supposedly arid, regions it has been a great Smith tidal wave, lie has practically made a clean sweep of the entire Northern Democracy. One of the striking features of the Democratic primary in California is I he circumstance that thousands on thousands of Republicans changed their registrations to Democratic in order to par ticipate in it, and Mayor Ralph and others who did so said that those who became Democrats in order to vote for Gov. Smith in tile primary will vote for him in November. OHIO'S NEW SENATOR. Cyrus Locher, the new Senator from Ohio ap pointed by Gov. Donahey to succeed th«j late Senator Willis, is a Cleveland, Ohio, lawyer of high standing who made a record in business. He is one of the group of young men that sur rounded the famous Tom L. Johnson during the several terms he served as Mayor of Cleveland most of whom have gone to the front in political, professional or business careers. Probably the most distinguished of the bunch Is Newton D, Raker, who was Corporation Attorney for sev eral years under Muyor Johnson, succeeded the talented Tom as Mayor and was afterward Presi dent Wilson's Secretary of War. Another of the young men who were close to Tom Johnson is now Senator Dili of Washington State. Locher did not enter politics again after the Johnson-Iiakcr regime until he was appointed Di rector of Commerce by Gov. Donahey. The Cin cinnati Enquirer, commenting upon Mr. Locher’t record, says: As Director of Commerce he brought to that important position the exper ience of a business man, and he filled it with credit. Business experience just now is sadly needed in the Senate, and Mr. Locher will have opportunity to apply his experience in business to the problems now before that body, which much need business treatment. WASHINGTON STATE SAWMILL COMPANIES MERGING. A ten-million-dollnr merger of Gray’s Harbor sawmills has been effected. The consolidated mills represent more than 75 per cent, of tin lumber output of that district, according to late Puget Sound newspapers. The announcement ol the merger was made by C. M. Weatherwax ol San Francisco, President of the Aberdeen Lumber and Shingle Company. The merger takes lit nearly all of the large mills of Aberdeen, Ho quiam, Cosmopolis and Montesano. Mr. Weatherwax, in announcing the merger said: The merger will mean early stabili zation of tile indu try here on a basis which will be beneficial to all concerned, from the operators to the workmen, and the various businesses which are in directly dependent on prosperity in the lumber business It will place the mills in position to operate on a continuous basis as soon as the necessary steps are contemplated. The Ban Francisco capitalist said, further that he found the mill owners enthusiastic ove the consolidation proposal when lie came u] from San Francisco to arrange the details am all of them co-operated in every way possible. This is said to be the first of a series of bij sawmill mergers along the Pacific Coast for th purpose of stabilizing the lumber business. He ferring to this feature, Mr. Weatherwax, in hi announcement of the Gray's Harbor merger, said It 'is understood that similar action will be taken in other lumbering cen ters of the coast, with each group op erating through sales managers. The idea, it is beleved, will he a big stroke toward stabilization of the market. While the vote at the sewer bond election was light the majority for their issuance was emphatic. The almost complete lack of opposi tion to the bonds accounts for the light vote. Unfortunately it seems necessary to have a con test in order to get voters to the polls. Time, the "newsmagazine,” commenting upon the Smith sweep of Houston delegates, has changed the words of the famous song to: "East Coast, West Coast, All Around the Land.” That Methodist General Conference might with profit to the Church consider the question of the political activities of its Hoard of Temperance, Prohibition and Public Morals and those of its head- Itr.

(Cordova limes. 1 Some young men and women leave Cordova as ■non a- they are out of school, and some leave before. Other things being equal, do those who leave the home town do better than those who remain? It is doubtful whether a check or "cen sus” ever has been taken to find out the answer. There are good, sound reasons why one can succeed in one’s home town. There may be equally good reasons why one should leave the home community, but they constitute the ex ceptions. It is common, of course, to hear of many young and ambitious people seeking their for tunes in distant lands and in great cities. Dis tance ilself lends enchantment to the idea that such persons have made wonderful successes of themselves. They may have done so. But on strict analysis of the respective situations of the majority, a great many things have to be dis counted. When Bill or Jack or Harry gets away from home his first impulse is to write to the folks back home, telling them what a wonderful job and tine surroundings he has. He doesn’t want his old friends to know that his choice of loca tion was not the result of his own good judg ment. His new intention and environment make for inspiration. The Hash of new people, new scenery, new conditions, enthuse him to paint a glorious picture. The folks back home, a little restless themselves, let their imaginations begin to work. They see the green fields in which Bill or Jack or Harry is now pasturing. Then what happens? The first impressions received from any one of this trio of wanderers becomes final with the home people. Bill or Jack or Harry has "made good" they say, and the gossip passes from lip to lip and then dies away. The sparkling diamonds are in our own back yards if we will but look for them. Fortune smiles, perhaps not as wistfully but certainly as wholesome upon the person who be lieves in his town, works for his town, and stays in his town. Hard work and right thinking know no loca tion and are common to all lines of endeavor. The act of “making good” is not confined to the mere accumulation of wealth nor to the self sustained indulgence in heroics. "Making good” includes also the forming np lasting friendships, the serving of public needs, the protection of in dividual rights. It includes loyalty and coopera tion, thrift and perseverance, morality, justice and self-respect. Beware of the plaintive song of the siren that lures to disappointments. If one can not succeed in Cordova, among friends, where one’has learned to know the good and avoid the bad, the chances are his path will not be strewn with as many roses elsewhere. Besides, making good in Cordova seems so much more like "mak ing best,”—ta more complimentary achievement with a greater opportunity for service than making good anywhere else. Anolhei I'acific-Atlantic Canal? (Engineering and Mining Journal.) One subject has an irresistible attraction for the politician: the possibility of recommending a vast expenditure for some new project. Yet the construction of another waterw'ay to link the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans is a problem that deserves to be tackled from the engineering stand point. However, the subject is one that has already assumed a political angle, with rich gestures from Washington that a Quarter or a half billion dollars be spent in Nicaragua for this purpose. A Congressman has only to plan a trip through the Canal to feel himself qualified to urge a second waterway as a national neces sity deserving of immediate consideration. An engineer in a position to judge will doubtless agree that the present traffic through the Panama Canal can be doubled and then almost doubled again before capacity is reached; especially if ad ditional provision is made for increasing existing facilities in the Zone area. The tendency is to build larger ships, and this will be reflected in an economy of water and time in the operation of the locks. A diminution in the production and transport of oil from Cali fornia appears inevitable; this also will auto matically reduce Canal traffic. The West Coast of the United States is becoming increasingly self-dependent, and is looking to the East and the South for foreign markets. Only a fast and regular freight and passenger service between California and Chile is needed to deflect much traffic from the East Coast. When the present Canal is used to a least half maximum capacity, it will be time to investigate the necessity or the opportunities for another engineering achieve ment of a magnitude similar to what has been done on the Isthmus; but the less politics in the venture the better.

GERMANS HAVE ANTIDOTE FOR AIR SICKNESS BERLIN, May 3.—Air slck ness, cousin to sea sickness, need no longer haunt the dreams of I the airplane passenger starting from Europe’s largest airdrome, Tempolhof Field, Berlin. The Templehof officials have installed an apparatus for inhal ing antiair-sickness fumes, and are convinced that it. is a suc cess. They feel confident that other airdromes of the Lufthansa (German Federal Airways Cor poration) will emulate the exam ple of the Berlin flying field. Hi Any passengers who fears that he may become airsick, may in hale the antidote, which consists in the main of oxygen gas and cinnamon. The mixture has a quieting effect upon the nerves f of the diaphragm. Air passengers who arrived at Tempelhof quite ill from air sick ness were brought back to a nor tf' mal condition within less than five minutes through the inhala tion of the antidote. It is plan ned in due time to have an in halation apparataus installed on every passenger plane with tubes running to every seat. II "’’Expert at Mine Rescues, 1 But Fears Plane Ride 1 WASHINGTON, May 3 Al though he has been through more than 50 mine disasters, doing res cue work at levels anywhere from TOO to 3,600 feet below the earth’s surface, Daniel Harrington, vet eran engineer of the federal bu reau of mines, is uneasy at the thought of an airplane ride. “I’ll admit I’m afraid of them,” f 119 says. n s niucn saier iu ue underground Ilian above it.” With 11 record fur attendance at mine disasters, it seems not at all unusual to Harrington that a man should really like to go 2,00(1 feet down in a dark, smoke-filled hole to help recover bodies of men overcome by gas. Harrington’s first experience with a mine fire, the particular type of disaster in which he has become an expert, came in 1916 at the Pennsylvania mine at Hutte, Mont., when 21 men were killed. Later he helped in rescue work at a dozen or more big mine explo sions and fires. In the spring of 1917 he was at the Granite Moun tain shaft in the northern part of Montana when fire broke out in the mine. He worked until the last of the bodies of the 1G3 trap ped men were found.

Japan knows much more about contem poraneous German composers, es pecially those with a penchant j for cacophony, than do the tier mans themselves. This unusual statement Is made by Director If. Gebhard of the German Orammophono Company. “Our best market for ultra-1 modern offerings is Japan," he says. "In Germany, l’aul Hinde mith, Arnold Schoenberg, Ernst j Krenek, Alban Iterg, or Kurt I Weill records have but moderate i-nles; in Japan wo sell them by the thousand. "I explain It this way: the Japanese is keen on everything modern, he wants to he absolute-! t ly up-to-date. Now, he reads i about the new school of musical composition, and immediately orders records illustrating it. As his ear it differently attuned S from ours, he has none of the in hibitions to overcome which lun der the European from accepting new combinations of sounds and 1 new conceptions of harmony i easily. “Tile average Japanese conse quently knows the German mod 1 enlists much better than do the i Germans themselves.” Dancing Mother, Unasked to Dance, Attempts Suicide r| STENDAL, Hanover, May 3— 1 Because no one would dance with her, Frau Hilda Messier attempted suicide. 3 j Accompanied by her 24 year old daughter, Frau Messier attended t i a ball.
