REVENUE FROM
BEER NOT YET
MADE PUBLIC
WASHINGTON, April 8. UP)—It
will be the end of April before the
treasury will know how much of
its red-inked deficit has been wash
ed out by beer.
The collectors of internal revenue
make their report at the end of the
month and a little later the fig
ares will be made public.
The treasury statement for Ap
ril 6 showed today that less mis
cellaneous internal revenue had
been collected for the month than
was collected In the same number
of days in March.
For the first six days of this
month, miscellaneous internal rev
enue amounted to $21,304,753 com
pared to $24,083,784 for the same
number of days of last month.
In each case the collections were
approximately four times as much
as collected in the similar period of
1932 because of levies imposed in
the billion dollar tax bill.
The miscellaneous revenue since
last June is nearly double that col
lected the previous year, amount
ing to $609666,906 as compared with
$391,084,819.
Income taxes, however, continued
to fall off. amounting to $567,825,557
for the fiscal year as compared with
$856,680,397 the previous year.

second, with female spermatozoa,
bore four males and one female, and
the third, with mixed spermatozoa,
gave birth to two of each sex. The
professor said the second bore one
female because of difficulty in ob
taining complete isolation with the
experimental apparatus.
He said segregation also had suc
ceeded with horses, but that im
pregnation has not been attempted.
He stressed the importance of the
discovery in animal breeding.
It was first determined, he said,
that male and female organisms re
act differently to electrical cur
rent. Natural spermatozoa were de
posited in .lie curved end of a horse
shoe shaped tube and the tube was
filled with a physiological solution,1
one of the chief elements in the dis
covery. A slight electrical current
then drew male and female elements
to opposite ends of the tube.
The male spermatozoa were drawn
to the anodes, or the side where the
current entered the tube, and the
female to the cathodes, where the
current left, the professor explain

Piston Ring Dealers
Motors lose compression so gradually few drivers realize
that there is anything wrong ... low compression causes
sluggishness—poor performance—expensive gasoline con
sumption.
Hastings Piston Ring dealers are equipped to gauge the
compression of every cylinder by mean* of • new instru

compression on your motor ... see for yourself the exact
condition of your motor. Ho cost and no obligation for the

OCEAN BOTTOM
DRAGGED .FOR
AKRON! CREW
ABOARD THE U. 8. 8. PORT
LAND. at sea off .he Jersey coast,
April 8. </*•)—A quiet man with a
smile saddened by the tragic events
of the past few days sits at his
desk out here 30 miles from the New
Jersey coast conducting a day and
night search for wreckage of ‘he
giant dirigible Akron and the bodies
of 71 of his naval comrades.
Cruiser Leads Search
He is Capt. Herbert Fairfax
Leary. 39-year-old commander of
the only naval cruiser In the north |
Atlantic at the present time.
The Portland was ordered to this
spot near which the Akron went
down immediately after last Tues
day’s tragedy. Only three of the 76
persons aboard survived and only
two bodies have been recovered.
“We are conducting a relentless
search,” Capt. Leary said today. “We
cannot hold out hope that any of
the missing still are alive, but w#
do hope to recover their bodies and
allay in some degree at least the
heartache of relatives.”
Capt. Leary’s desk is piled hig.n
with newly traced maps and other
data, and at a moment’s notice he
can tell just where any one of the
30 searching vessels under his di
rection is operating. In two days he
has conducted a search over 35.000
square miles of water and now
operations are concentrated in an
area of 500 square miles with its
center 30 miles from Bamegat light
ship.
The use of airplanes was discon
tinued today and three coast guard |
iestroyers, three navy destroyers,
Four large coast guard patrol boats,
L4 smaller patrol boats and Four
navy tugs continued the search.
Day and night, regardless 01
weather conditions, they are drag
ging the ocean bottom with grap
pling hooks. The captain's xaps
show that 27 pieces of wreckage
have been salvaged. His theory is
that as the hull of the former queer,
of the air breaks up, bodies will dis- I
entangle themselves and come to
the surface.

This exhibition will be entirely free of coat

Owing to the tremendous cost of bringing
this spectacular feature to Del Mar by the
Sea, passes will not be accepted at the
toll bridge, between 7:00 A. M. and Mid

10,000 Feet Over the
Gulf of Mexico
W. G. Swan, the Human Rocket, will be taken in an
airplane to an altitude of 10,000 feet when he will
make his stupendous leap into space. While de
scending on the first lap of his drop he will set off
hundreds of beautiful colored explosive bombs.
During the 7,000-foot drop Mr. Swan literally
becomes a flaming human rocket. This is a most
daring leap under ordinary conditions. But with
the addition of the exploding rockets the downward
descent is terrifically increased, making it one of the
most dangerous feats ever performed in midair. The
parachute is used only for landing purposes when
near the earth or water, as the case may be.
