BRITISH AIRSHIP
,iT FOLLOW
HOOVER
LONDON. Dec. 14 (I.N^S.).—The
possibility of a member of the
British government making a ’‘good
will’' flight to South America aboard
an airship to counteract what is
termed “Hoover’s Warship Tour for
Trade” is being talked of in British
trade circles.
The American President elect’s trip
to South America is not looked
upon any too favorably «n the Eng
lish trade world. 4t is taken as a
direct step on the part of Hoover
to strengthen the commercial re
lations between the United States
and LatimAmerican countries.
fxiiig Expected
This step has long been expected
but there was always a hope that
Britain might make such a Step
first,, and for a considerable time
British business interest have oeen
urging the development of com
mercial relations with the South
American continent.
According to well-informed cir
cles it was pressure from this
source that inspired the Prime
Minister, Stanley Baldwin, to de
clare in a recent speech that the
British government would leave no
stone unturned to cultivate and
cement “this country’s happy rela
tions with the great and growing
nations of South America.”
Scheme Indorsed
■With the announcement of Hoo
ver’s contemplated visit to the La
tin-American countries further
pressure was brought to bear, and
now it Is understood a suggestion
has been made to members of the
cabinet that an airship should be
sent on a good-will flight to the
principal South American capitals.

YOUNG’S POWER
VIEW FLOUTED
BY TRUST
By M. L. RAMSAY
Waahiagton Herald-Universal Service
Staff Correapondent
The Power .Trust, in its long and
ruthless fight against the Boulder
Dam project, is flouting the record
ed convictions of Owen D. ioung
widely regarded as the biggest *P an
In the electrical industry and a
world figure in business and fi
nance.
This was shown yesterday in
official records of the Federal Trade
Commission, stating In detail and
In Young’s ovm words his views
about great power deyelopments.
Young disavowed three great argu
ments the power interests have
spent millions of’ dollars and flood
ed the country with propaganda- to
entrench in the public mind.
He held that:
Vast projects Involving such con
siderations as flood control are
“wholly unrelated” to the contro
versy over public or private opera?-
tion of public utilities generally.
The Government Is able to build
and administer such projects ad
vantageously.
Its action need entail no Injus
tice to private enterprise, r
Young’s statement is set forth
in the proceedings of- the National
Electric Light Association conven
tion in 1926. The commissions
record discloses no change in his
ylews since. . ~
His statement, after a declara
tion for private ownership of utili
ties. reads tn part:
“There is s class of water-power
which in my judgment, must he
separately considered. No
gestion has yet been made which
adequately n eets their needs.
“Where vast rivers either on Inter
national boundaries or within the
United States require development
for several purposes, such as navi
gation. irrigation and flood control,
as well as for power, there arises a.
new kind of question which is wholly
unrelated to the old controversy of
government versus private owner
ship. . .

Santa for Boy, 4
NEW YORK, Dec. 14.—Tommy Brennan, 4-y ear-old vic
tim of affectionate parental guile of the type which struggles
in an endles and timorous line before a slab-sided and per
functory department store Santa Claus to venerate him with
adoring and half-terrified eyes, is a lad of gumption.
For days Tommy has postered his#
mother, who lives at 537 West One
Hundred and Fifty-sixth St., .for
Santa Claus’ address. Mrs. Bren
nan, who generally was pretty busy
at the moments that Tommy sought
information, put him off with the
reply that it was “a long way off."
That w’as far from satisfactory to
Tommy, who thought that h|s
mother was withholding the address
for reasons of her own.
Then she took Tommy to the
home of her sister, at 444 West
Twenty-sixth St., and. as they were
about to start, Tommy put a sud
den crafty question.
"Mum," he said, "is it a long
way off to where she lives?"
"I’ll say it is,” replied Mrs.
Brennan with feeling. ,
Tommy said nothing more, but
soon after their arrival at his aunt's
home he vanished. An Inter-<
borough .platform guard picked him
up an hour later at the South Ferry
elevated station. Tommy told him

frankly that he was looking for
Santa Claus.
At the Old Slip police station they
tried- to find out what the boy's
name was and where he lived, but
Tommy saw’ through this device to
get hold of his Christmas presents
and firmly, though quite politely,
refused to tell them.
They circumvented Tommy at last
by leaving him alone in a room
with a telephone by which he was
to communicate with Santa Claus
himself.
"Hello,” said Tommy, cautiously,
"this is Tommy Brennan. I live
near One Hundred and Fifty-fifth
Street and I don’t want just toys
for Christmas —I want a puppv.”
"All right, son." said a thrilling
bass, which belongs to Sergeant
Hutton, but might well be Santa
Claus’, and within another hour
Tommy was with his mother, wfcp
already had reported him- missing
at the West Thirtieth Street police
station. ,

To combat the flu, take 666 every three
hours till it acts well on the bowels, then
three times a day. As a preventive, take
it two or three times a day. 666 was

remedies during the last flu epidemic.
