Drain Lake To
Locate Man In Cave
SHELLMOUND, Tenn. (i<P) —
The draining of Nickajack lake
was begun early yesterday on the
order of state safety commission
er Lynn Bomar as state police in
tensified a week-long search in
Nickajack cave for John T. Hurn,
35.
Bomar, who arrived here short
ly after midnight, said he expect
ed the pool to be lowered 10 feet
by early today. Pools inside the
cave—which some searchers have
drained—also will be lowered.
The half-mile-long murky lake,
made by a dam holding back
spring waters in the deep caverns,
stands on the entrance to the cave.
Search parties must ride over it
to where the cave’s trails begin.:
Hurn was reported to have van
ished in the pool-dotted miles
deep cave last Tuesday. His bro- j
ther Hollis Hurm, reported he
failed to return from an exploring
trip into the cave.
Harvesting Great
est Wheat Crop
GREAT BEND, Kas. (/P)—'The
golder* tide is rolling in from Kan
sas’ big wheat harvest.
9
Grain belt reports indicated to
day farmers are capitalizing on a
combination of good weather after
a long rainy spell, improvement in
the supply of combines, and just
plain get-the-job-done determina
tion to bring in the greatest crop
in the state’s history.
In many counties, yields were
exceeding early expectation—bol
stering predictions of some ob
servers that the crop will top the
government’s latest estimate of
278,000,000 bushels.
But it all wasn’t easy going.
Just is in the war years, thej
wheat farmer was handicapped by
shortages—lack of box cars, for
one thing. With not enough cars
available to move the grain, coun
try elevators in some sections
were glutted and wheat was being j
piled on the ground.
Child’s Vacation Breakfast Important
I
During summer vacation children are apt to dash out to play
without taking time to eat a nourishing breakfast. Yet, an active I
youngster burns up more energy in hard play during the morning than
he uses in a whole day at school!
As many a conscientious parent knows, getting Johnny to take
time for a good breakfast can be a real problem. With the fun of out
side play calling to him from the moment he gets up, he begrudges
every minute he spends at the table.
This situation calls for real strategy. Be understanding about
his urge to show the boys his new baseball mitt, but keep your eye on
that breakfast! Do everything you can to see that he comes to the
table with an eager appetite. This breakfast menu is a real appetite
promoter that not only Johnny but the whole family will enjoy.

There is something about pancakes — tender, golden-brown and
fragrant that makes most youngsters glad to spend the time polish
ing off that breakfast plate. Nutritionists tell us that light, fluffy
pancakes are easy as toast to digest and give children protein, cal
cium and phosphorus.
And herefs another suggestion—a pancake ready-mix makes it
easy to fix pancakes for your child’s vacation breakfast. Using a
good ready-mix also insures light and fluffy pancakes.
• Quick Pancakes
2 cups ready-mix for pancakes
\ 2% cups milk
Just add milk to unsifted mix at once and stir lightly. Somewhat
lumpy batter makes light, fluffy pancakes. Pour M cup of batter for
each pancake tinto a hot, lightly greased griddle. Bake to a golden
brown, turning only once. Makes 14 to 16 pancakes.
For Extra Rich Pancakes, add 2 tablespoons melted fat or oil and
•at beaten egg to pancake batter.

One Killed In
Wreck Of Beatty
1 Circus Train
HUBBARD, Nebr. (iP) — Eight
, cars of Clyde Beatty’s 1^-car cir
1 cus train were derailed in the
early-morning darkness yesterday
killing one circus worker and in
juring at least six.
The accident happened on the
northeast outskirts of this village
as the circus billed as “The
world’s greatest wild animal”
show was en route from last
night’s Sioux City, la., showing to
an engagement at Norfolk, Nebr.,
last night.
Beatty himself was one of the
first out of th& wrecked train. He
assigned several of the elephants
to dragging away torn ties and
rails and pulling in replacements.
His cargo, he said, includes the
“largest, fiercest mixed group of
savage jungle-bred male and fe
male tigers I have ever handled.”
But the animals, most of them in
the fore part of the train which
stayed on the tracks, did not es-*
cape their cages.
A number of the performers
jumped to safety as the train be
gan to leave the tracks.
The man killed was John C. I
Fisher, 40, Lewiston, Pa., assistant
boss canvasman. His head and
chest were crushed by the heavy I
double wheels of a circus truck i
which rolled over him as he slept1
in a sleeping bag atop a flat car.
The animals took the accident
calmly although some of the 40
lions and tigers roared a bit and
the elephants trumpeted as they
went about their strange task of
dragging rails and ties. About 560
feet of' the single-track rail line
was torn up.
William Antes, publicity direc
tor for the circus, estimated dam
age at “at least $100,000.’’ This in
cludes the loss from shows sched
uled at Norfolk, Nebr., last night
and Fremont, Nebr., tonight, now
cancelled.

House Approves
Bills Broadening
Territorial Power
I
"
((A*) Special Washington Service)
WASHINGTON, (/P) — Three
bills broadening the powers of
Alaska Territorial government of
fices were sent to the Senate yes-1
terday with unanimous House ap-'
proval.
One gives the Governor of Alas-1
ka authority to grant pardons in
cases involving violations of local
laws, and to remit fines and other
forfeitures.
This power is now held by the
governors of Puerto Rico, Hawaii,
the Canal Zone and the Virgin Is
lands, the House public lands com
mittee said in approving the mea
sure. It was withheld when Alas
ka became a Territory, the com
mittee said, “because the lack of
a stable and substantial local pop
ulation precluded the establish
ment of a local legislative author
ity.”
Another bill would permit the
Alaska legislature to provide for
the zoning of property outside of
organized municipalities. It would
not affect property occupied by
the U. S. government.
The third would provide that in
all future deeds transferring land
from public to private owners in
Alaska, the government reserve
right-of-way privileges for roads
and .bridges.
