Canada Protests Ship Board Rule on Vessel Sale Dry Leaders’ Activities Involve United States in New Com plications—Want Re strictions Removed. By GEORGE F. AUTHIER. Washington Correspondent The Omaha Her. Washington, March 29.—A protest by Canada, filed with the State (le partment, against restrictions placed upon sale of shipping board vessels to be operated under Canadian registry, i has brought the prohibition amend- i ment once more into the realm of in ternational consideration. The protest and the occasion for it i has brought to Ifght the fact that j ready purchasers for the smaller craft j of ilie shipping board are being found among persons who desire to place the ! ships under foreign registry. The as sumption is that vessels of this char acter have an advantage over Anieri can ships, inasmuch as they are im : triune from American attention while . outside the three-mile limit. The nd- ; vantge attaching to this immunity tor rum-running purposes is so pronounc ed that demand for this class of ves sols, Commlsloner I.lssner of the ship ping board said, is Increasing. Dry leaders Protest. The probable use to made these ves sels prompted protests from the Anti Saloon league and from Prohibition Commissioner K. A. Hfcynes, with the result that the shipping board has in- 1 sorted a clause in its contract of sale , that the vessels are not to be used ' for purposes that are illegal in the j United States. It is this provision to which the Canadians are objecting. They want ' the restrictions removed as to ships already sold and as applying to ves sole that may he sold in the future The intimation is that the Cana dian authorities do not believe the restrictive clause in the contract can bo enforced, taking the ground that once under Canadian registry, any interference with these ships outside j the three-mile limit would be a vio lation of international law. Will Require Hilling. The complication is one that is ex pected to require a ne-w interpreta tion by the Department of Justice, which has already ruled liquor can not be brought into the United States by any vessels nor can it be carried on the high seas by ships flying the American flag. The danger of inter national complicilUons in attempting to enforce the restrictive provisions is recognized by legal authorities of the government and the State depart ment has been given another em barrassing problem in connection with liquor enforcement. Up to this time, the department has refused to take cognizance of the presence of rum running fleets Just off the American coasts, by which the dry area in the United States is irrigated. There have been In timations that the department would like to see the three-mile limit ex tended for policing purposes, but for eign governments have frowned upon the suggestion. Attitude Is Proper. The attitude of the Canadian gov ernment is regarded as proper enough, although ultra prohibition enforcement advocates profess to see In it an effort to encourage an Illicit industry which is aeknowlegedly bringing hundreds of thousands of dollars into the pockets of Canadian and other British subjects annually. According to the view of Canadians, the dominion government Is interested only in the abstract question of the right of Canadians to operate ships under the British flag without for eign regulation of any sort. Negotiation of the problem Is made the more difficult since it is dis tinctly a Canadian question, hut in view of the failure of the Canadian government to appoint a resident minister in Washington, It will have to be negotiated through the British embassy.

Star Denies Rift in Wedded Bliss: Blames Rejected Suitor for Rumors Wife of Jack Pickford Says Aged Boston Millionaire Offered Her Yachts and Plates of Diamonds to Marry Him. Chicago, March 29.—.Marilyn Miller positively denied Inst night that there is any truth in rumors of a separa j tion between herself and Jack Pick ford. To put an official stamp on her denial she made it through her | attorney, Charles K. Krbstein. "Jack and I are as much in love as ever," she said. "He is coming to Chi cago to see me next Monday. We have j not seen one another since the open ing of ‘Sally' here 12 weeks ago." And Marilyn believes she lias found , the source of the rumors that pain her. It is an old Boston millionaire, i who once offered her a yacht and | everything. „ The rumors, which Marilyn lays | to the elderly, disappointed million aire, have taken various forms— quarrels in cafes, separations and actual prospective divorce. “Being separated from each other while we are working is hard enough without all these terrible things being said about us,” she continued. J “When we were married we knew we i couldn't he together all the time— at leRst for a few years. We have 1 never quarreled. Jack is not jealous of me nor I of him. We love each [ other too much for that." Then the little dancer unfolded the story of the aged Boston millionaire, j "These stories have been started by an old Boston millionaire who i offered nie yachts and Rolls Royces and plates of diamonds If I would j marry him. I "He Is obsessed with the idea of making Jack unhappy. Anil I have ; Marilyn Miller. positive Information that he has given these stories to the newspapers in the east. They are cruel and untrue. "Jack will he here In two or three days and we will show you whether we are on the verge, of separation or divorce. He will stay two weeks— until he has to go back to Hollywood to start work on another- picture.” The Plckfords were married last summer at Beverly Hills, the home of Mary Bickford and Douglas Fair banks.

Now, a Quick Quaker Oats Cooka im 3 to 5 nmrin Tb. quicba.1 cookia. oats is tb. wvrU Now your grocer has Quaker Oats in two styles. One the kind you have always known—the other is Quick Quaker. Quick Quaker cooks in from 3 to 5 minutes. And it cooks to perfec tion. So it is almost like a ready cooked dish. No other oat flakes on the market cook anywhere near so quickly. The two styles are identical in quality and flavor. Both are flaked from the finest grains only—just the rich, plump, flavory oats. A bushel of choice oats yields but ten pounds of these delicious flakes. But in Quick Quaker the oats are cut before flaking They are rolled very thin and partly cooked. So the flakes are smaller and thinner—that is all. And (hose small, thin flakes cook quickly. Ask for Quick Quaker if you want this style. Your grocer has both. But always get Quaker Oats for their delightful flavor.
