HAIHAX, Dec. 2l--Four cutters were scouring the heavy ocean ofi the Nova Bootla coast tonight in sen-rob of the Lunenbui-g schooner Shirley B. Ccrkum, unreported since she was sighted flying dis- tress signals last night.

The disabled fishing craft, carry- ing 24 men, had been swallowed up by the gI-le which swept. the Atlan- tic sesboerd,_ leaving a trail of damage across Nova Seotia. and Newfoundland.

The Lunenburg schooner R. B. Bennett. homeward bound from the Banks, sighted the Corkum lust night but was unable to get close enough to ascertain the trouble. Later the driving storm separated the two vessels and the Bennett, badly buttered and with her wheel- house carried away, reached her home port today.

Tonight the fisheries cutter Arras and three Royal Canadian Mounted Police cutters were searching for the missing vessel.

Y. N. 8.. Dec. 28 — Tragedy lingers long in town and village, and every time farmers of this scattered community pass along the winding road back of Glengarry they are reminded of the Dryden murder, one of Canada's unsolved mysteries.

John Dryden, aged recluse, was murdered for $50. Neighbors, puz- zled by the deserted appearance of his little dwelling on the crest of the hlll overlooking Drydenb Lake, found him dead May 5. 1930. un- der his blood-stained bedclotlies.

The result was s. mass of evidence that led the sleuths on many -dlfferent trails.

Developments moved swiftly ef- ter Halifax detectives recovered the watch and chains from a pawnshop in the provincial capital. Two men were arrested charged with mur- der. Both were acquitted in su- preme court at Pictou: but first one of them, an itinerant Irishman, created s series oi sensations in the magistrates court at New Glas-

Testifying at this preliminary hearing. the moody Irishman pro- fessed to know every detail of the crime and told a. weird story that chilled an audience he played to at every opportunity. He described himself as a spectator of s. drama which convinced the court he should ‘have been an author of fic- tion.

At this Season of Goodwill, it may be s propriate to suggest that those who are in u

Moley disclosed yesterday to the University of ‘Iloronitds Women's Club. But Dr. Moley, following a long-held theory that woman's sp- proach to government and politics was not dlsoerningly different from man's, had told Roosevelt to “let Hoover do that," Hoover did-"he slapped all over,” Dr. Moley smil- lngly added.

Dr. Mcley believed that what knowledge he had of feminine psy- chology came from teaching wom- en political science. He had done this with some suems because he gave women students just the same lectures as men. ‘The only fault he had found with the women st/ud- ents was that, lacking confidence. they felled to speak up in class and made dutiful notes instead of lis- tening and absorbing the teacher's idea.

There had been no more meetings of the Rovsevelt brain trust after the election of 1932, said Dr. Moley. "People don't like groups hanging around the throne," he explained. “Around the throne is a slippery place."
