err" 10 the way he always appears In print; and
~ he admires his merchant-prince father i'm
mensely he does not complain. But the younger
wananaker twao 10 now the only sonl would
have gained an eminent position In American
affairs without the boost which his name gave
him. Besides establishing the Wanamaker Paris
branch and later running the New York store,
he has made 80 many amazingly lucky invest
ments that the fortune he win inherit some day
win be only an item in his ample means
Rodman Wanamaker enters the transatlantic
crossing arena with al the enthusiasm OF Queen
Isabella and with much better credit
Lord N0rthcliRe. Great Britains leading pub
iisher. has offered $4,000 prize for the nrut
crossing OF the big pond by asroplane. Mr..
Wanamakcr has q chance 70 recoup part OF the
fortune he may have to place It the disposal Of
the ingenious Mr. Curtiss: And he can collect =
further 5000 from Mrs Victoria Woodruff Mar.
tin. an English flying patron.
So when the wanamaker-Curtiss flyer awoops
on a Newfoundland elf next August with her
eight cylinder 200horscpower engine chaGchug-
ging and Lieutenant Porte. or some other hardy
navigator OF the painless upper air At the wheel.
there will be $4,000 sitting on the west coast
OF ireland and beckonng to the steel bird.
But II there were nothing more NJ the end
Of the journey than Isabella had reason to be-

maker would have said just the same. Glenn. we
aren't going to give this up until We ny ACROSS"
For he belongs 10 the class Of young Americans
born rich who do things: who play six. but work
ten hours day: and who accomplish what they
Get out 10 DO.
Asroplanes have long been one Of Mr. wana.
makers hobbies. but he has many others-lifs In.
surance. automobiles. yachts. nne paintings. and
the American Indian. This last should stand 1t
the top Of the list
