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 prevent the
systematic war being waged by in-
ternational criminals against *ne
laws of this country* caused con-
siderable surprise in some quarters
af the borderland yesterday.
Officials of cities along the In-
ternational line as well as in many
others in northern New York quick-
ly promised co-operation.
John H. McGaullev of Pittsburgh
near which Arthur Gordon. 22 of
that city was shot fatally iast Sat-
urday said:
“The city of Plattsburgh has at all
times stood ready to aid federal
authorities in enforcement of law."
The presidents appeal “ratne as
a distinct surprise to residents here"
said Police Chief Herbert S Myers
of Ogaensburg. “There has b°en. 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 glad to ro-op-
erate in any way to enforce any
and all 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
said:
“We aid the government In all
way ; possible to stop 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 States
district attorney at Detroit declared
rum runners are deliberately trying
to foment friction between the Unit-
ed 8tates and Canadian authorities
by rumors of promiscuous shootings
by customs officers and coast
guardsmen In an attempt to enlist
public sentiment against the river
blockade.
. Mr. Watkins urged the public to
i await the full facts before accept-
I mg rumors and said that in all re-
cent reports of shootings in this dis-
trict no citizen engaged in •legi-
timate business” has been annoyea
while on the river.
World Press'Opinion
Divided Over Dawes
And MacDonald Talk
PARIS. June 19—oPj—The French
oress received the speeches of Am-
bassador Dawes and Premier Mac-
Donald last night with divided
opinion. AH displayed the stories
with great prominence emphasizing
I particularly that while the British
premier suggested as a point of de-
parture an understanding between
Great Britain and America Ambas-
sador Dawes insisted on the neces-
sity of an accord sanctioned by the
i entire world.
"Pertina::." in the Echo De Pari?
took a hearty cynical laugh at the
whole business. Petit Parisien said
the speeches marked new orienta-
tion In British policy and a certain
evolution In American policy.
GERMANS RESERVE COMMENT
BERLIN June 19.—iJP*—Berlin
momJng 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 Allgemeine Zettung
captioned its story. "New Era In
Anglo-American Relations”
Berliner Boersrn-Zeitung used
the somewhat ironical head "Mac-
Donald. Dawes Agrei—in Prin-
ciple.”
JAPAN “INTERESTED”
TOKYO. June 19.——Japanese
officialdom was keenly Interested.
1 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 may d!** but the work?
goes on."
This old adage finds particular
application in the case cf the
worlds most famous airplane—the
“Spirit of St. Louis"
It is an application often noted
in the industrial vorld Prom the
genius of a:i individual 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 Iranslantic
plane “made” a manufacturing or- i
ganization over night. But the
story behind the scenes has never
been told the story of how the or-
der was lost and might not have j
been found the story cf the later
scattering of those responsible for
building the famous plane.
Before coming to San Diego
Lindbergh ehd tried to buv th.-
plane that later carried Charles
Levine and Clarence Chamberlin
to Germany When that failed
a telegram asking if the Ryan Air-
craft corporation could build such
a plane was sent.
But the telegram got lost In a
heavy flic. Then entered A. J. Ed-
wards. with whom Lindbergh lived
a while during construction of the
Spirit. Edwards employed as sales
manager came across the file noted
in it an opportunity to save a wan-.

Lady Says She Wat Aching In
Back and Sides Before
She Took Cardui.
Hones Path. 8. C—"I suffered a
long time with my bark and sides
before I knew about Cardui.” saya
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.
*T 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
I 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
j "Gradually I grew- stronger; the
periodic pains In my back and sides
disappeared and my color got ever
so much better.
“I am delighted with Cardui and
can heartily recommend it. I have
taken it several times since my first
experience with it and 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 Edwards*. Claude Ryan
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; lion Hat! designated the
• Spidit *. and William Hawley Bow-
dus built it. The latter was fac-
tory superintendent.
Paris!
The old fish cannery that served
as the airplane factory found its
picture published the world over.
For nearly two months the crew
struggled over the plane. Nightly
Lindbergh and Hail 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 similar role
Meanwhile Hall departed as engi-
neer and Bowlus left as plant sup-
erintendent.
Work Coes On
The work goes on. however
While Rvan is conducting a flying
school and Mahoney is visit ine
Germany a Mexican organization
has taken ever the property. The\
hope to start a Mexican 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 th» workers carry on
In their separate endeavors the
combined work still adding to the
wealth of aviation.
