Superstitious seamen blamed her misfortune on the fact that twice she sailed with 13 men aboard. The ship was built in 1901 for the Archduke of Oldenburg and pro nounced a marvel of the sea. The fin est wood was in her staterooms. The Archduke enjoyed her for months. Then the Archduke wanted the favor ' of the Kaiser. Kaiser Wllhelm wanted a cruiser, and to him went the ship as the most expensive gift of hi career. Then the war flamed, Kaiser Wll- helm fled to Doom, and the vessel was seized by the provisional repub lican government. Hugo Stinnee. Ger many's richest man. bought her. but 9ld her to Norwegian capitalists, who changed her name to Nohabf Chas. A. Ogren. New York attorney, and D. R. Halnea. New York business man. and former seaman, were the next owners. She lsy in New York harbor for a year. She was to ply between Miami and Nassau. She would fly the flag of Panama, the only flag under which ships were permitted to enter Ameri can harbors with liquor aboard. Only the rich would ride her. 8o the Nohab c1eu4 New York with 13 men aboard. The Nohab costly motors failed. There was nothing tn do but put back Into the harbor. The crew mur mured. It was bad luck, they said, to put back Into a harbor after once leaving it. engineers could not ftn4 a defect in the engine. The vessel finally proceeded to Nas sau at 10 knots. A. W. Ryerson, Ml " ami real estate dealer, stepped aboarl I at Nassau, and announced: "1 am the new owner. I bought the Nohab from Ogren and Haines. We sail for Miami." The future looked rosy when First National Pictures Corporation offered to charter the boat, pay the crew, and use its stately interior for the background of a motion picture. The sailing date came and the Jinx cobbed up again. A United States marshal came aboard and filed an ownership Hen for 1175.000 Instituted by Ryerson, who was in a dispute with her former owners. The Nohab was to be sold under the hammer. Then came the Florida real estate debacle M the highest bid was $6,100, which he court re jected. Then the 1926 hurricane.

(Associated Press Photos) Death Rides Tight Rope With Woman Performer But the Show Goes On By DALE HARRISON NEW YORK. Oct. 19. (AP) Death rode tandem with Mary Larkln De Phil on the tight wire at the Roxy theater yesterday evening. It was the second show of the day for the "Plying Phillips" Mary Dc Phil and her husband. Charles. Three thousand ptrons of the theater had watched as the 26-year-old woman rode a unicycle expertly along the srnd of ateel 40 feet above the stage floor. Her husband had Just finished a series of breath-taking stunts wl.h her. As she pedaled along the tight wire, the man, on a trapeze which was suspended from extensions of the axis of her unicycle, performed sev eral feats. One of them was to wheel at high speed as he hung suspended from the trapeze, with Mrs. De Phil pednHng back andTorth oh the wire. He finished that part of the turn, grasped the platform at one end of the wire, and descended to the stage. E Running forward to the footlights. he smiled acknowledgment the ap plause that rose from the auditorium. Mrs. De Phil rode the unicycle to the platform and alighted. Somehow Ahe missed her footing. Even as the applause rolled up from beyond the footlights, she fell. The sound of her body striking the stage echoed through the auditorium, which be came suddenly hushed as though by a mammoth asm per. Six women fainted. Men gasped and paled. Charles De Phil, horror) lighting the eyes that but an In-1 stant before had smiled happiness, j ran to where his wife had fallen. 1 half hidden by the wings. j They rang the curtain down. Even as an ambulance waa. racing the wo- I man, her skull fractured, to a ho-1 pital, the curtain lifted. Scores vl j persons, sickened and saddened by j what they had seen, had left. , But the curtain went up; and the show, as It must always do, went on. j Common Ground Being Found For Solution Cer tain Recovery Problems Farm Building Expansion. WASHINGTON. Oct. 19. (Pi Efforts to bury the-hatchet that his gleamed In several exchanges between President Roosevelt and some leaders of business ar becoming apparent. Signs that the White House and some spokesmen for business are finding more common ground In their approach to certain recovery prob lems were underscored today when it became clear tnat President Roose velt's Intentions on rural housing bear marked resemblances to the views of Henry I. Harrlman, president of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States. For Rural Building. The President let It be known yes terday that he favors an expansion of rural building activities, as well as slum clearance. The home build ing in rural communities, which fits Into Mr. Roosevelt's often-stresstd Ideas for decentralization of indus try, was described as timed to get people off relief rolls. About the same time, In a speech at Memphis, Tenn., Harrlman tackled the problems of "unemployment and economic Insecurity" in similar vein. "The real cure of the situation," said his address as distributed here, "Is a gradual decentralization of our workers from the center to periphery of metropolitan areas and the es tablishment of our working people in homes with two or more acres - of good land available for cultivation. Would Move Families. "I, therefore, hope that future ex penditures of the federal governmenl for relief work will take the form of the construction of well -designed, In expensive homes within 10, 20 or 30 mllea of our great centers, each home h av 1 ng not less th a n t wo acres of land. If one or two million families could thus be moved, the whole social and economic problem would be changed and the burden of relief would be lifted." Harrlman said ne saw "hopeful signs In the administration's attl tude toward business," although he declared thire are stlU "unfavorable conditions" In the eoonomlo pic ture, "such as the balanced budget, vicious strikes and drouth." The tenor of the speech was re garded as significant because less than a month ago the directors of the chamber, seeking what many busi nessmen call "assurances publicly propounded a list of pointed ques tions to the President, who gave the queries a cool reception. In a press conference, in which he expressed a feeling that some businessmen had too msny inhibitions, he made clear he would not answer the questions. Talks to Bankers. Since that time the President has made a radio talk to the nation, and j a series of conferences with bankers and businessmen has started at the! White House. ! Although some businessmen are , said to feel disappointed that the: speech did not contain assurances about monetary policy and ex penditures. Harrlman said: "I would cite President Roosevelt radio address of September 30 as con taining msny hopefl Indications of the President's attitude toward bmi ness." There is no unanimity among busi ness leaders, although Harriman'a po sition la regarded as lending weight to his views. The President makes a speech to the American , Bankers' association next Wednesday. 4 . 3-8 cup soft bread crumbs cup chopped ham X egg yolk 1 tablespoon butter 3 tablespoons cream teaspoon paprika Wash tomatoes.
