NO WATEB FOR FOUR DAYS !
Wellton, Aril., Jan. 20. Lieutenant
Colonel Harry G. Bishop and Lieu
tenant W. A. Robertson, missing
army aviators, exhausted from walk
ing (our days in the wilds of Sonora,
Mex., without food or water, were
found yesterday more than 200 miles
south of the border by a civilian
searching party from Wellton.
Robertson was brought here today
by the searchers. Bishop, too weak
to walk, was left in charge of four
searchers in the Rosario mountains,
where he was found last night at 10
o'clock.
Supply of Food Short.
Two sandwiches and two oranges
each was all the food the men had
tasted since they left the North Island
aviation base St San Diego, January
10 on their flight. Robertson told the
searchers.
Water, which they took from the
radiator of the aeroplane after they
landed on the east coast of the Gulf
of California, was exhausted four
days ago, Robertson said.' They had
tasted none since, he told the
searchers.
Robertson was found yesterday fol
lowing the automobile .tracks. He was
following the base of the Gila moun
tains, 200 miles south of the border.
He directed the searching party to
the Rosario mountains, thirty miles
farther south, where he said he left
Bishop the day before.
He had been traveling alone for
the last twenty-four hours, he said.
Bishop had become exhausted and
was unable to walk.
Leaving Robertson in charge of
two of the searchers, other members
of the party passed southward and
found Bishop lying on the ground in
a moantain pass. He was unable to
talk and barely able to recognize the
searchers.
First Humans Seen.
Robertson said the members of the
searching party were the first humans
he bad seen since he landed. He was
nuable to give definite information as
to the district where they landed, but
thought it was 250 miles or more
south of the Arizona border.
After his arrival here Robertson at
tempted to talk over the long distance
telephone but he was too weak.
Members of the party who took
charge of Bishop are expected to ar
rive here tomorrow. The searchers
said neither of the men was delirious
when found.
The propeller of their airplane was
broken, Robertson said, when they
made a landing about 12:30 p. m.
Wednesday, January 10. Enough
gasoline for thirty minutes' flight re
mained in the tank, he said.
The aviators remained with the air
plane until 4:30 that afternoon and
then abandoned it, starting across the
desert toward the mountains and
heading north. They drained a gal
lon oil can which they carried and
filled with water from the radiator of
their airplane This they carried
with them. -
Robertson gave his story in detail
'tonight to a representative of the As
sociated Press as follows:
"We left San Diego at 8:30 a. m.,
January 10, intending to go across the
mountains east to Calexico. Insuf
ficient maps made it necessary to rely
largely on compas readings. For this
reason to keep north of the Mexican
border I sailed a course 25 degrees
'
IEFT GENERA! GoXJXtAUDl RIGHT INC. VICTOR
north of east. I counted on this course
putting me into Imperial valley well
north of the border and then having
to sail south for about fifty miles.
. Had to Fly High.
"In order to cross the high moun
tains it was necessary to travel high,
averaging more than 7,000 feet From
this altitude it was impossible to de
tect a very strong north wind which
I encountered in the mountains.
"I then turned southeast. After
about thirty minutes on this course I
could see distinctly through a haze a
large body of water thought to be
the Salton sea. The only man of this
section I had showed Salton sea
much too far south so this confirmed
my belief that I was right As my gas
was running low my only course was
to keep going farther south in order
to strike Calexico. Bishop thought
this body of water to be the Salton
sea, so both of us were satisfied we
were following the correct course.
"Neither Colonel Bishop nor myself
could possibly figure on the -drift of
the machine. As it was hazy it was
impossible to see well enough to pick
out objects'clearly. The strong north
wind also made our rate of travel
much faster than was figured on.
When after about thirty minutes of
search for the Southern Pacific rail
way, which I knew to be near Salton
sea, I decided to land and investigate.
The landing was almost completed
when the aircraft struck soft ground
and the plane tipped up. This was at
12:30 p. m., and I still thought we
were on Salton sea and was only con
vinced of error after close examina
tion of surrounding country. We then
decided on walking back to the Im
perial valley.
"We put 'One gallon of water from
the radiator in an extra oil can and
with a light lunch started northwest.
That was at 4:30 p. m. January 10.
Water Gives Out.
"We kept a northwest course,
traveling by night and day. Out water
gave out Sunday, January 14. By that
time Colonel Bishop was so weak our
progress was slow. We agreed it
would be wise to separate when we
could travel no further and take the
only available course, I to continue
on and send back aid if possible.
"This I did at daybreak Wednesday
the 17th. I kept to the northwest and
at daybreak the 18th found a trail ot
one of the rescuing parties. Follow
ing this trail I caught the party about
9 a. m. Thursday. They immediately
set out to find Colonel Bishop, follow
ing my directions and back trail and
found him about 9 p. m. January 18.
He was too weak to move, but still
conscious. It was necessary to leave
him quiet for a few hours until he
could recover his strength. I was
brought out by automobile this after
noon, leaving Colonel Bishop in the
care of the rescue parties which had
consolidated "

New York, Jan. 20. Less than 6
per cent profit was netted by the
railroads of the United States in
1916, although it was a record year
for earnings, according to a state

held responsible for this small
yield on the total value of rail

Chiropractic for
Stomach Trouble
The nerve and blood lupplr to th
stomach perform an Important- part tn
the elaboration and secretion of the
gastric juice and a very important part
of the nervous system In the furnishing
of energy for the stomach movements
during distention.
The nerves leading; to the stomach
pass out from the spinal cord through
little openings In the spinal column; if
they are impinged by a nubluxated (dis
placed) vertebra. It interferes with the
transmission of nerve energy leading to
the atomic h and cause that organ to
become diseased.
Chiropractic spinal adjustments will
free the nerve from the pressure that la
causing the trouble, nature will restore
normal function to the organ and health
i the result.
If vou are suffering with some form
of stomach trouble make a thorough,

ground for confidence and respect, the very seeds of
friendship.
e
We won friends to Goodyear won them in prodi
gious numbers.
But our purpose continued unchanged, for holding
friends is as important as winning them.
If you will look at a Goodyear tire, a Goodyear tube,
or any of the Goodyear accessories, and learn what
they mean in quality, in value, in service, you will
readily understand why the friends who came to us in
the early days are with us still.
If you will try a Goodyear tire on your car, you will
understand why these friends were joined by other
friends month after month, year upon year, until the
Goodyear clientele, became the largest single group
of tire-buyers in the world.
If you will consider the growth of this business, you
will realize the stupendous power of the gopd word
spoken man to man, of the enthusiastic comment, of
friendliness.
And you realize, too, why we spend upon our prod
uct so much of effort and of money to encourage the
good word, to foster such friendliness.
"a matter of dealingwith friends."
Tire-buying will become that to you after your first
Goodyear purchase.

year Cord, a Heavy Tourist tube, or minor items.
Each harbors the source of your greater1 satisfaction
and our better relation Goodyear quality.
