Hobnon, the SpanlBhAmerican War hero who bottled up the enemy's fleet in Santiago harbor, died Buddenly today of heart disease. He was 66. The retired naval officer, who had devoted his energies in latter years to an unremitting war against the use | of narcotics, was stricken as he pre-1 pared to leave his Lexington avenue home for his office. Statesman, author, lecturer and- advocate pf world-wide prohibition, Ad miral liobson shot into International prominence as a young na\al lieutenant when lie rati the dismantled col tier Metriinac into the entrance of Santiago harbor and sank it amid a hall of gunfire. With his crew or. so Ve ifVolunteers he was fished out of the water bv an enemy ship and made a prisoner of war. j So audacious was that feat thnt it! excited even the admiration of the ; Spanish commander, Admiral Cervera, who sent his chief of staff to Hobson's superior under a flag of truce with a letter extolling the prisoner's bravery.

What Are . ?_/) J Sun-Spots Anyway? lielow we present an Interesting article on "ttun-HpoU" from the pen ;of K. II. Tipton, an A. P. writer Little comparatively, is ktiown of theae j huh disturbances, but the article la interesting reading even if eome of : It !h in technical tcrinu and words. i'uMMdena, Calif., March 7.-?Oau| tiously, astronomers suggest the auti la experiencing or ia about to exper lepoe, Its most violent eruptions glnce tli.- turn of the century. Hun-spots are increaaing ateadily, both in number and size. In recent weeks there whh one into which forty planet* the size of the earth could have been toaaed?that la, It would' ihavc taken that many to cover the spot's surface. It whh twice aa large as four preceding onea, each of whoae areas waa estimated at 1,174,000,000,000 square miles. Before the present 11-yeur sun-spot cycle began in 1033, astronomers were unwilling to recognize any effect on this planet except a disturbance in the earth's magnetic held, possibly u slight influence on the weather, and evidence that violent radiation In* creases with the spots. Within the last eightoeri months, however, more than forty short wave radio fade-outs have been observed to coincide with "cromosptieric eruptiona in Die neighborhood of sun-spots and -magnetic disturbances" on earth. "The effect consists of a sudden and complete disappearance for fifteen to thirty minutes of all high frequency transmission over thp half of the earth lighted by the sun," said R. 1$. Richardson, astronomer of the Carnegie institution Mount, Wilson observatory. It is the fact that others have al> tempted to link sun-spot cycles with plinost everything Including war, the stock markets, insanity, and the fur on rabbits, which makes astronomers here unwilling to say anything very unusual is taking place. Dr. Seth B. Nicholson does, however, say, "Sun-spot activity during 1936 wus greuter than at the last Maximum reached in 1929. The mean number of spots observed daily in December was 11.2, exceeded in only one month of the last cycle,. December, 1929, in which the daily average wh8 11.4." The spots are now running slightly above the December, 1929, average. "The next maximum is not expected to occur before the end of 1937, and the present cycle," Dr. Nicholson continued. "will therefore undoubtedly be much more active than the last and may even exceed the cycle whose maximum was in 1917." His reports show that 469 sunspotH were observed in 1936, 424 In 1927, and 459 in 1917. The two last were peak years of their respective cycles. The high is not yet reached in the prest-nt cycle. Astronomers do not know what 'causes sun-spots. They resemble tor, nadoes below the surface of the sun, which Is a huge mass of gas. (las uurnnis <<>ni" swirling to the surface of the sun, and on into the cronios-' , plmre. Cooler currents apparently rush down in the center of the gap; in" hole the upward currents create. The temperature at the surface of the sun is about 10.009 degrees Fahrenheit. while that in llie center of l the large, spots is as low as 6,300 deI grees. A million and a half railroad employes, members of the unions, are preparing a demand for a 20 per cent increase In pay on March 22. The increase, if granted, will add $360,000,000 to pay rolls. i.jL . . * - ' . I jpscomb Pictures Chemical Aspects Columbia. March Houtto Carolina hh the potential alto of a Kreat va-1 rlety of major chemical ?du#trlea that will make the state richer a d more prosperous Is pictuned by ?uy F. Lipscomb, professor of chemistry at the University of South Carolina. I Chemical i?d>.?try #?d a?rlc;ul.ur? must he balanced lu South Carolina In order to have a prosperous state that | wit? he able to withstand depression*! and had agricultural years without Interrupt Ins Its balanced economy, says Professor Lipscomb. He points out that with the resourcoh climate and cheap labor that the I state has to offer. It has the potentialttles of developing Into a state with I a great variety pf major chemical In-1 dustrles. "We have, a most advantageous ell* I mate, short mild winters and long summers," he says.* "Our natural ie-1 sources are nearly the same as other states of the same-size that have ile* I velopod natural resources. Our roads are adequate and compare favorably with any state in the Union. Our rail-1 road taxes are lower, In comparison with other states. Labor Is cheaper." He points out that these facts lend conviction that South Carolina can no longer afford not being industralized. "Wo' can see from the facts that I South Carolina has many inducements to attract capital and chemical Indus- I tries," says Professor Lipscomb. "With equal advantages and poten-1 tialities with other states and evident J benefits, social and economic, nidustrlallzation before us and the example set by others, we still are laboring I under the Instability of the one crop system, the need for taxes obtainable from industrialization and need of J chemical industry to absorb the best trained citizens." "It Is evident that we are not mak-1 ing the proper efforts to establish and I bring chemical industries Into ovir state. There should be created an Industrial development board, the personnel of which would consist of busl-1 noss men, chemists and engineers. The duties of the board would be to investigate and determine the market for products that could be manufactured economically in this state; to I advertise the advantages the state of'fers to new Industries; to contact corporations and those who might be interested in Investing capital in South Carolina." "There should also be connected with the Industrial development board an industrial chemical laboratory." says the chemist. "The industrial laboratory should make a thorough study of how the mineral resources of the state cojild be manufac tured into salable products; to investigate and determine the most economical methods for the manufacture of products that could be sold in South Carolina and adjoining states." The following industries might be developed in this state, according to Professor Lipscomb: the rayon industry, the paper industry, kaolin and r.sin; and the cement, industry. "South Carolina should exert eve ry effort to push the San tee-Cooper and the liu/.zard Roost power developments to a successful conclusioi says "Chemical industries go haSd ! in hand with cheap electrical power?" "With the advent of cheap power, the following industries will be established: matches, bleaching powder. caustics and other chemicals; i pottery. Including porcelain ware; ciI gars and cigarettes, large substitutes and vegetable cooking oils; paint and varnish; flavoring extracts and flavoring syrups; glues and pastes." With such development, Professor Lipscomb believeB that South Carolina will have a great part'-ln producing a portion of the two billion dollars of chemical products manufac-' tured in the United States each year. PELICANS BACK ON LAKE AFTER TEN-YEARS AB8ENCE .1 White pelicans are using Malheur JLake in Oregon again after a tenyears absence, and the United States Department of Agriculture points to their return as a sample of benefits from the Federal program of waterfowl restoration. Last season sixty-one pairs of these birds raised their young at the lake that has been restored in the Malheur Migratory Rird Refuge. They nested I on straw stacks put up on the dry ! lake bod before the Hlologtoal Survey of the Department began* restoring the 1 area in 1 t>:t4 for the use of migratory 1 birds. Retlooding the lake bod tumi ed these stacks into temporary nesting islands. | Thousands of ducks, geese and oth<pr migratory birds are a familiar sight again at Malheur Lake, but the largest btrd nesting there is the white pelican. It has a wing spread of 8 to 9 feet and weighs about sixteen j pounds Its snowy white plumage makes it conspicuous at a great distance. A far-away pelican hovering over water may be mistaken for a boat sail. Pelicans are experts at soaring, or i sailing?often flying at heights out of sight. Although the birds fly in wheelj ing circles they move on their course j rapidly. Their breeding grounda,-are principally in the Northwestern States and In 5-outhwest Canada. Large colonies nest at the Clear Lake Jiinl Refuse in California, the Lake Rowdoin Mivrntory Waterfowl Refuge, in Montana, and on islands in the Clival Salt Lake in Utah .They winter from northern California, in the Gulf States | and Florida, along both coasts of Mexico, and In the Interior of Mexico as far south as Panama. Fire swept through the holds of the freighter Lalla, nitrate laden, in Rostop harbor, and when the fire reached the nitrates an exploalon followed. The property lost was several hundred thousand dollars. yrymposyssy^g^BM n tw i hhw^hp L^i SALES BY THE SHERIFF j trader and by virtu? of sundry tax ?x- i M'otioriN directed to m? by th?
