Canadian Border is
Surprised by Hoover
Plea for Prohi Aid
ALBANY, N. Y., June 19.—{/P>—
President Hoover's appeal to com
munities along the Canadian border
“to help the treasury to pre'-ent the
lystematic war being waged by in
ternational criminals against tne
laws of this country," caused con
ilderatle surprise in some quarters
»f the borderland yesterday.
Officials of cities along the in
ternational line, as well us in man?
ethers in northern New York, quick
ly promised co-operation.
John H. McGaulley of Plattsburgh,
near which Arthur Gordon. 22, of
that city was shot fatally isst Sat
urday, said:
“The city of Plattsburgh has at all
times stood ready to aid federal
authorities in enforcement of law.”
The presidents appeal “came as
a distinct surprise to residents here.”
taid Police Chief Herbert S. Myers
of Ogdensburg, “There has been, of
course, spasmodic liquor running
and alien smuggling along the Ca
nadian border, but this reference to
a systematic war is the first we have
heard about it.**
""Said J. C. Wilson, mayor of Roch
ester:
“We will be very clad to co-op
erate in any way to enforce any
and ell laws. Including the prohibi
tion law. We are doing our utmost
to do so at the present time and
Intend to continue."
Mayor Paul Weiss of Dunkirk,
aairl:
"We aid the government in all
ways possible to slop this nefarious
traffic <in liquor) and we will con
tinue to do so."
DETROIT. June 19.——Mayor
John C. Lodge of Detroit and may
ors of Ecorse. Trenton and River
Rouge, surburban cities, have pledg
ed co-operation of municipal au
thorities with federal agents in ef
forts to enforce prohibition and cus
toms laws in this region.
At the same time, however, the
executives called attention to the
necessity of safeguarding lives of in
nocent persons.
John R. Watkins. United Spates
district attorney at Detroit, declared
rum runners are deliberately trying
to foment friction between the Unit
ed States and Canadian authorities
by rumors of promiscuous shootings
by customs officers and roast
guardsmen in an attemnt to enlist
public sentiment against the river
blockade.
Mr. Watkins urged the public toj
, await the full facts before accept
ing rumors and said that in all re
cent reports of shootings in this dis
trict no citiz^p engaged in “legi
timate business" has been annoyed
while on the river.
World Pres* Opinion
Divided Over Dawes
And MacDonald Talk
PARIS. June 19—r-P,—The French
press received the speeches of Am
bassador Dawes and Premier Mac
Donald last night with divided
opinion. All displayed the stories
with great prominence, emphasizing
particularly that while the British
premier suggested as a noint of de
parture an understanding between
Great Britain and America Ambas
sador Dawes insisted on the neces
sity of an accord sanctioned by the
entire world.
“Pertlnax.“ in the Echo De Paris,
took a hearty cynical laugh at the
whole business. Petit Parisirn said
the speeches marked new orienta
tion in British policy and a certain
evolution in American policy.
GERMANS RESERVE COMMENT
BERLIN. June 19.—opt—Berlin
morning papers displayed the
Dawes and MacDonald speeches in
Great Britain last night most
prominently. There was no editor
ial comment, although the head
lines gave some indication of the
reception.
Deutsche Allgemefne Zeitung
captioned Its story. “New Fra in
Anglo-American Relations.”
Berliner Bo'-rsen-Zeitung tired
the somewhat ironical head, “Mac
Donald. Dawes Agree—in Prin
ciple”
JAPAN “INTERESTED”
TOKYO. June 19.—Japanese
officialdom was keenly interested,
mostly sympathetically, with the
speeches made bv Premier Mac
Donald and Ambassador Dawes
last night.
The navy spokesman was cautious
in discussing details and expressed
that Ambassador Dawes’ “yard
stick” might be more difficult to
find than civilians believe, but re
iterated the navy's willingness to
cooperate In limitation.

“Workers miy die. but the work
goes on."
This old adage finds particular
application in the case of the
world's most famous airplane—the
“Spirit of St. Louis.”
It is an application often noted
in the industrial world. Frcm the
genius of an ind.vidual came the
motivation which evolved the fam
ous plane and brought to world
prominence others who had to do
with its fabrication.
Where They Are?
Now where have they gone?
Col. Lindbergh's tranriantic
plane “made” a manufacturing or
ganization over nigh*. But the
r.ory behind the scenes has never
been told, the story of how th" or
der was lost and might not have
been found, the story of the later
scattering of tho^e responsible for
building the famous plane.
Befcre coming to San Diego
Lindbergh ehd tried to buv the
plane that later carried Charles
Levine end Cla-ence Chamberlin
to Germany. When that failed
n telegram Rsking if the Rvan Air
craft corporation could build such
a plane was sent.
But the telegram got lost in a
heavy file Then entered A. J. Ed
wards. with whom Lindbergh lived
n while during construction of the
Spirit. Edwards, employed as sales
manager, came across the file, noted
in it an opportunity to save a wan

Opening at th" same as yester
day's finish to !-2c higher, wheat
afterward scored a moderate gen

somewhat. Corn, oats and provi

later showing gains all around.

INSTEAD OF PAIN
Lady Says She Was Aching In
Back and Sides, Before
She Took Cardui.
Honea Path. S. C.—*T suffered a
long time with my back and sides,
before I knew about Cardui." says
Mrs. J. B. Drexler, of Harper Street,
this city. “I was thin, and my color
was a pale yellow. I was In awfully
bad shape.
“I tried several things but noth
ing seemed to help me much. About
five years ago, I Just happened to
be reading a paper which had an
account in it of a lady who had been
benefited by taking Cardui. so I
sent for a bottle.
"I was agreeably surprised to find
myself much better after I had tak
en it. In some way I had strained
my side by heavy lifting, and I had
let it run on too long.
“Gradually I grew stronger; the
periodic pains in my back and sides
disappeared, and my color got ever
£o much better.
“I am delighted with Cardui and
can heartily recommend it I have
taken it several times since my first
experience with it, end it has al
ways helped me. I wish I could tell
all suffering women to try it"*.,,, ,

such a plane could be built.
Five names then entered—four
besides Edvards' Claude R y a n
whose name the Spirit of St. Louis
bore, had founded the business;
B. F. Mahoney, whose name the
business later took, had supplied
the funds; Don Hall designated the
•'Spidlf. and William Hawley Bow
dus built it. The latter was fac
tory superintendent.
Paris!
The old fish cannery that served
as the airnlane factory found its
picture published the world over.
For* nearly two months the crew
struggled over the plane. Nightly
Lindbergh and Hall diligently
studied plans.
Then Paris! And what during
the succeeding months!
Ryan sold to Mahoney his Inter
est in the business and retired
from whatever fortune the flight
might have brought him. Edwards
departed as sales manager and now
is in Kansas filling a -tmilar role
Meanwhile Hall departed as engi
neer and Bowlus left as plant sup
erintendent.
Work Gees On
The work gees on. however
While Ryan is conducting a flying
school end Mahoney is visiting
Germany, a Mexican organization
has taken over the property. They
hope to start a M^xcan manufac
turing company where the former
group left off.
Bowlus. the builder, has become
technical instructor for a flying
school and Hall is building a new
airplane. So the workers carry on
in their separate endeavors, the
combined work still adding to the
wealth of aviation.
