THE CAPITAL JOtHWAL. SALEM. OREGOW
ITALIANS GAIN
PRESTIGE UPON
OCEAN IN 1933
Rome (LP) The past year has
been a favorable one for the Italian-
mercantile marine, which has made
great progress, both in the matter
of increased prestige and increased
tonnage.
In the matter of prestige, the
Rex feat of winning the so-called
blue ribbon of the Atlantic by beat
ing the speed record from Europe
to the United States set by the
German owned Bremen is to be
placed to the credit side.
During the past year, the hand
some new Italian liner, the "Conte
dl Savola" was placed in service,
while the "Oceania" started her
runs on the South American route.
The Lloyd Triestlno line put their
new vessel the "Galitea" on the
recently inaugurated fast service
between the Adriatic and Egypt.
The Italian shipping board, which
controls the fortunes of the sev
eral associated lines inaugurated,
through the Cosulich line, the new
service from Trieste to Rio.
Many of the ports of Italy have
undergone Improvement and exten
sion works, which, though begun
earlier in many cases than 1933,
have been completed for the be
ginning of the 11th year of the
fascist era. Great improvements
have been made in the port of Na
ples. The greater part of this work
is completed, and includes an en
largement of the existing wharfs
and quays construction or new
quays and docking facilities, and
the introduction of the use of elec
tricity for the mechanical services
of the port.

Oshkosh, Wis. (IP) A fortune
awaits the inventor able to devise
a cheap way to salvage millions of
hardwood logs lying in the soft
mud at the bottom of the Fox river.
In early Wisconsin lumberlns
days, the banks of the river were
completely lined with large rafts of
logs, witn barely enough, room for
boats to pass. Thirty-six saw-miUs
were kept busy cutting the timber.
Hardwood logs in large numbers
were lost when they slipped from
the rafts and, water-soaked, sank.
Because of their lesser buoyancy,
the hardwood logs sank in greater
numbers.
The river bottom now Is com
pletely "lined" with hardwood from
the mouth of the river at Lake
Winnebago to Lake Butte Des
Morts, five miles away, a survey revealed.
The cost of retrieving the logs is
great, even with modern equipment.
Lumber company officials have
been seeking some device that ,
would raise the logs economically.;
Several years ago a log that had:
rested on the river bottom for
more than 50 years was salvaged by
the Paine Lumber company. It was '
so perfectly preserved, and of such
fine quality, that the company im
mediately began to salvage logs
irom the eras oi its aocus in me
river. Since operation first started,
an average of 180 logs a day are re
covered, more than enough to pay
the coats of hiring a special crew..

farming was a paying proposition
for Sam Kennedy. Instead of the

SEARCH BEGUN
FOR SIGHTS OF
OLD KINGDOMS
Pelping. China (IP) Excavations
to uncover the sites of ancient Chi
nese kingdoms which existed 12
centuries before Christ are to be
made in the central research acad
emy in Shantung province. Pre
liminary work already la under way.
Tung Tso-ping of Shanghai, a
fellow of the central research acad

noted Chinese scholar who heads
the Shantung provincial library. The
excavations are being made at
Tenghslen, Chouhsien and Ylhsien
in Shantung province. -
The Chinese scientists, directing
the excavations, hope to unearth
important art objects bearing on
the culture of the state of Lu. a
principality of feudal times which
waa established by a brother of
the founder of the Chou dynasty
liaa-255 B. C. The fief was slt
uated in southwestern Shantung
province and while politically pat
ty It achieved a nujn staw oi ow-
ilujatlon.
Confucius waa born in Lu in 551
B. C. The latter days of Lu also
produced Menclus and Lao Tzu,
two others of China's most famous
philosophers.
Pending the outcome of the exca
vations being carried on by the
central research academy most of
what is known of the ancient king
doms for which a search Is being
made is contained In the Ch'un
Ch'iu, the last literary work of
Confucius. It records the annals of
the state of Lu for 242 years up to
within two years of the death of
Confucius in 479 B. c.
Freight Service to
France Costs Heavy

ity trade was not half what It was

incur, financial difficulties and om
er obstacles.

lessons. He solved this problem by
earning his way, and for more than
four years he has delivered newspa
pers to do so. A year ago he sustain,
ed a crushing blow.

exploded, nearly severing his left
band. A doctor examined the injured

your violin again. The nerves In this -hand
