MILITARY AREA AT SAND CAVE CAVE CITY, Ky., Feb. 5 — All efforts to rescue Floyd Collins by means of the tortuous twisted passage into Sand cave in a pocket of which he has lain imprisoned by a boulder for six days, were abandoned here shortly after 5 o'clock. Under orders from Gen. H. H. Denhardt, commandant of the military area established at Sand Cave the tunnel thru which Collins entered was closed and sealed and work of sinking a two foot shaft to the spot where it has been estimated Collins lies, was started immediately. CAVE CITY, Ky., Feb. 5 — Dirty, muddy and shaking from exhaustion, Johnny Geralds, pal of Floyd Collins in many cave adventures, this morning stood on the little alim-covered plateau under over-hanging rocks which form the archway of the entrance to Sand cave where Collins has been trapped for more than 140 hours, and gave his verdict. "I've gone in there for the last time," he said slowly, carefully, as if perhaps he had rehearsed that speech after it had haunted his mind as he picked his way, squirming almost prostrate thru the fortuous passage from the squeeze" to the mouth. "It's no use. I've had hope up to now, but the rock and mud is falling now faster than we can clear it out. Each time I go in the walls and roof look worse. There is more debris filling the passage now than there was before we cleared it all away yesterday morning. Geralds bowed his head as the icy breath of the cave beached over the plateau. He moved over within a circle of light cast by an electric bulb, flickering merrily in the black darkness. "Floyd is getting weaker," he continued in the same measured tones. "He couldn't talk to me this time. While I was in there trying to make him answer me." SHORTRIDGE URGES WATERSHED BILL The following telegram from Senator Shortridge received today indicates that his efforts to have the Clarke-McNary bill amended so as to provide for protection of watershed cover is being favorably received. Should Senator Shortridge succeed in having his bill adopted it would mean that all cover on watersheds of streams from which water is secured for domestic and irrigation purposes would have equal protection with timber land: "I arranged for hearing this morning before our senate committee on agriculture and forestry on my watershed bill stop. Acting Forester Sherman prepared and favored bill with certain amendments which appeared to meet also with approval of committee. I am today reintroducing amended bill less general in scope but giving everything required to meet your needs. In view of favorable attitude of both departments and apparently favorable attitude of committee I am hopeful early and favorable results. "SAMUEL M. SHORTRIDGE." A man is known by the promises he keeps. continued: "When I first went in to Floyd. I was sure he could be released. And I believe now that If I could have cut those first days and could have had three good men with me, he would be out safely today. "He's been caught in caves like this before and we often talked and laughed about it. "Why even early yesterday he laughed when I read him a telegram from a Chicago theatrical booking agency which offered him $350 a week to appear on the vaudeville stage when he is free. "But now it's different. If you could get in there as I have been you'd know what I mean. "You can go along all right until you come to the first 'squeeze' but from then on only a rat could increase of U.S." "DEBS" AT COURTS LONDON, Feb. 5 — The number of American debutantes who will be presented at this season's royal courts will be larger than that last year, it is reliably reported by court circles. To counter-balance this threat will be fewer English and Dominican debutantes presented. Many manSIONS have already been taken by debutantes' parent in anticipation of the round of social engagements that usually precede and follow a presentation at court. Mrs. Peter Kerr-Smith formerly Miss Maude Simpson, New York, has taken Lowden House, in the fashionable Belgian Square district, and is to give many parties. Her daughter is be a 1925 debutante. Miss Edith Lowther, daughter of Mrs. All Lowther, and granddaughter. Mr. Atherton Blight, of Philadelphia, is another American debutante who will be presented. This season's courts will be held without the assistance of the Douglas Dawson, who for many years has been the State Chamberlain. His job was to see that every thing went off without a hitch and he might better be called King's Stage Manager. He certainly retired because of ill-heard and the fact that "he seemed to losing his grip on things." In preparation for the usual strenuous round of social dances and courts expected this year fashionable London is now engaged in rejuvenating itself. Popular nursing homes are full of pale ladies who are putting with weeks of agony so that they can face the season with equanimity and a smile. One well-known society matron has withdrawn to a nursing home for a month have new eyelashes sewn on, whi it is reported that the craze "rejuvenation" is even spread to the younger element, who f clear it out. Each time I go in the walls and roof look worse. There is more debris filling the passage now than there was before we cleared it all away yesterday morning. Geralds bowed his head as the icy breath of the cave belched over the plateau. He moved over within a circle of light cast by an electric bulb, flickering merrily in the black darkness. "Floyd is getting weaker," he continued in the same measured tones. "He couldn't talk to me this time. While I was in there trying to make him answer me, mud and rock were falling constantly. It's on his body now, and I can't get there to move it." In moments when I was lying there resting, I could hear the crack of the rock, breaking up above and the inecessant boom, boom, boom of heavy rock falling to great depths somewhere out beyond in the darkness. It was terrible. "R-r-rip. The walls and roof and floor go. And the sound echoes and re-echoes throut the passage. Then comes a rumble, terrifying there in the darkness. My hair seemed to stand on end and I'd close my eyes, thinking 'this is the end.' And then the final dull boom and then the whole thing over again. "It may not be hopeless, I wouldn't want to say that, but—and he paused to look around him. 'I don't think I'll go in there again. Perhaps when I get rested, I'll feel differently, but now'—he looked toward the mouth of the cave—"well I think he's in there forever." After another pause, Geralds OUR AIM: TO SERVE YOU WELL AND FAITHFULLY —ALWAYS J.C Penney Co 571 DEPARTMENT STORES WHERE SAVINGS ARE GREATEST THRUOUT THE YEAR New Spring Coats for Girls At Prices Remarkably Low!

Previous to this discovery, Dr. Dye had voiced belief that all the strychnine in his department was intact. U.P.

Calif. in certain mid-west and eastern newspapers, the Union Pacific is distributing 30,000 copies of a booklet entitled "Southern California," which is filled with interesting illustrations and descriptive matter. Missions, orange groves, gardens and streets in fine residential sections of Los Angeles and Pasadena, Long Beach, Catalina, the beaches, Santa Barbara, San Diego, etc., are beautifully pictured or touched on.

W. THOMAS, Confidence is the scale that marks the degree of true worth in civilization. Confidence unerringly denotes the true character of an individual life. Confidence can only be earned by sincerity, truthfulness and absolute honesty; any departure from these fundamental principles of right spells failure, while a loyal and faithful adherence to them is always the sure reward of success in every walk of life, and every human endeavor.
