hawled back.
"Pla-a-a-a-a-a-ace US" yelled tie
pilot.
TIE Sun man glanced around a TIE
world below. Ahead was the fat.
Improved Jersey, with a suggestion
OF hills far ahead; over his right
shoulder was the Hudson, broadening
out in the distance. behind him was
New York and to his left was the
pilot. Then he glanced ahead again
and saw the fiat green and brown
country with here and there a glitter
ing promise Of water. He turned to the
map and realized instantly Just why
TEX" Marshall had grinned when he
had asked how It was possible to get
lost with a map and a compass.
There was absolutely no resemblance
between the brilliantly colored pink,
green, blue and yellow paper with its
indicated lakes, towns, railroad lines
and rivers and the brown even land
ahead. But If the map had deserted
them there remained the compass. He
glanced at it and saw they were
headed due north. He looked over the
side and saw that instead of going
north like the fast disappearing Hud-
son they were drifting chiefly west
ward under the force of the driving
gale.
Neither compass nor map could be
relied upon then. II occurred to him
that II the ground were labelled with
arrows pointing here and there an
airman might be able to find his way
about in broad daylight. He remem-
bered then that he had read that in
England there are now such land
marks as we'll as public landing fields.
He decided that something must he
done about It In America immedi-
ately-preferably before he got down
to land again. He understood the
walls OF aviators in newspapers and
in conversation for something to guide
them on their flights.
Now there seemed to be lakes all
about. He tried TO find one that looked
as big as Greenwood Lake on the map.
They were all miserably small things
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1916-1920, 1919-04-06

nothing but little chunks of looking
slass glitterin2 on the dull brown and
green land. Suddenly the pilot tapped
him on the shoulder.
''Greceeeeeenwoooood he yelled and
nodded emphatically forward and
northward. The amateur aviator had
dismissed that particular little glitter
as not worth looking at, but sure
enough. it broadened out into a lake
slightly larger than the others. THE
Sun man was not inclined to believe
the pilot was right-certainly 1t did
not particularly resemble the real
Greenwood-the one on the map
which was cut neatly in half by the
border between pink Passaic county.
New Jersey, and yellow Orange county.
New York.
TEX" Marshall glanced at his watch
and THE Sun man, parrotlike. looked
at his. Thirty-one minutes had passed
since Mineola had dropped below them.
The plane roared on. Apparently the
pilot intended to make up that one
minute lapse.
From that time on THE Sun man
alternately glued his eyes to the map

far to the northward to be followed.

Traits That Make Sims the Navys Idol
The "Cheer Up
Admiral' Inspires
Every Man to Do
His Best

- URIOUSLY enough. very little
has been written about the
human and personal side Of
the man who, for the last two years,
has commanded the American navy in
Europe-Admiral William S. Sims,
United States Navy. In the poetic
language Of the navy, Sims is known
as great big two listed sailor man,
full Of pep, brains and fight" Coupled
with this, he possesses the dignity
and accomplishments of a finished dip
lomat--as much at home in palace
as on board ship--an excellent linsuist
with n rare charm Of manner. I have
myself seen him rise from his desk to
shake hands with a second class sea-
man, who had called to pay his re-
spects, with the dignity that chsrac-
terized his greeting of the President
of the United States upon his arrival
In Europe. a big man mentally and
physically who by his personality has
every officer and bluejacket in his
command loyal 10 the core.
Although upon occasions he has
demonstrated his ability to be a mar
tinet and a disciplinarian of the
deepest dye, the discipline which Ad-
miral Sims has always maintained and
enforced under his command has been
the discipline OF respect and admira-
ton rather than the fear OF punish
ment. He has always believed that'any
military organization to be efficient
and effective must be happy, which
has earned for him the popular nick
name OF the Cheer Up Admiral"
Never gloomy himself, he insists upon
those serving with him doing so in a
cheerful. willing and hearty manner.
II il actually inspiring to see officers
and bluejackets toiling and struggling
uncomplainingly because the "old
man" will appreciate it. incidentally,
they wouldn't dare to call him an old
man TO his face for fear he might ac'

at some strenuous exercise at which
they would more than likely be

TO OPEN rs new STORES
In THE SPRING OF 1920

Approximately seventy-five new
stores will be opened next spring by
the j. c. Penny company. This is the
largest number Of stores that this COM
pany has opened at one time and is
the most progressive forward step that
the organization has ever taken and
means - new channels for rendering
service TO the public II means the re-
sumption Of expansion which was re-
tarded due 20 causes brought about by
war This means increased purchasing
power and increased prestige in the
mercantile market.
The j. G.. Penny company whose
business was started in 1912 as part
nership, was incorporated in 1918 under
the laws of Utah The company at the
present time operates one hundred and
nintyseven department stores in "a
states, and is tae largest chain of de
partment stores Of It's kind in the
world.
The growth Of the company has been
steady since the inception Of the bust
ness. All sales are for cash, and the
satisfactory profits have been in large
measure due 10 their ability TO turn
their capital frequently ON this basis
At the present rate the company's vol
ume of business in 1919 will exceed
S2S,000, 10000
The business Of the company is un.
der the management of the same men
who have been m rs head since lis
inception, aud the policy of making the
manager OF each store a stoekholder in
the business iusures the pernanenee Of
the organization. The s3 100000 seven
per cent cumulative preferred stock sold
recently to their New tork and Chicago
brokers will be offered to the public as
an investment.
The executive offices Of the company
are maintained in @ew York City. Buy
ing offices are in New York city, St.
Louis and st. Paul. The company until
the last few years operated their stores
almost exclusively in the west. but the
opening Of seventy.five new stores is
the advance guard Of long line Of ser
vice stations destined to reach from

An article By Mr.. y. c. Penney in the

give new life and enthusiasm.
