The Future Of
Aero Navigation

Captain Alcock and Lieuten
ant Brown, who uccessfulh
completed the first nonstop
transatlantic flight arrived ir
Dublin, Ireland Monday, where
they received a stirring recep.
ton. Captain Alcock made ar
interesting statement during
which he said that the aeroplane
in its present state of develop
ment was not suited for a
transatlantic voyage.
"The next time l cross the
ocean, said Captain Alcock, lit
will be in a flying boat. l fore
see for the flying boat a great
future, both as a passenger and
commerce carrier"
Lieutenant Brown. who, I'M
like Captain Alcock, seemed
greatly fatigued by the journey,
said that he was convinced that
marine navigation is entirely ap-
plicable to aeroplanes.
There is little element of luck
either in the success of the NC-4
or our flight" said Lieutenant
Brown. $50 far as weather was
concerned, it could not have been
worse in our case, for after the
first hour, we were smothered
in a fog until we landed in Ire
land. Nevertheless, with only
a sextant and compass, and a
special device for determining
the machines speed and drift,
we came through. And I am
sure we could do it again.
Occasionally glimpses of the
ocean through riffs in the fog
enabled me to ascertain how
fast we were travelling and how
far we were drifting, and. by
combining the two, which was
easier to make out in the mist
than the water. y
II was absolutely right until
early the last dav when had to
descend to within fifty feet of
the water before being able to
see it distinctly. After l got
the drift and had made observ-
atoms It was easy by calculation
from the last position to get on
the course"
Of special interest is Captain |
Alcock's statement about flying
boats. The two airmen achieved
their stupendous feat under the
most adverse weather conditions
in a boat by no means ideally

suited to such a journey. What
does the future hold when an
ideal type Of boat is perfected I?

Northcliffe's prophecy to the eff

Paroled Convict
Returned to Prison

Deputy Bob Maitland left this
morning on train No. 5 with
Herbert Turner, negro convict
paroled about year ago from
the state farm at Hope, for
Franklin, from where Turner
will be sent back to Baton Rouge
to be taken to one of the state
farms. The State Board of
Paroles has asked for his return
because Of continued violations
Of his parole. ~
Herbert, who is known in
Morgan City as "Shine," was
convicted some four years ago
for. stealing several sacks of
feed from the livery stable of
Mr.. Frank Price, and was SEN
fenced to serve nine years
at hard labor-one year
for each sack of feed. An
Italian was also mixed up In the
affair, and was tried for COM
plicity in the act. He was never
convicted. The case formed a
basis for much comment at that
time, as a young man from this
city was convicted about the
same time on q charge of man.

serve a term of three years.

I like his unassuming, big way; I like his lack of arrogance and conceit, and l adore his simple, modest manner and the quiet way in which he tells you that a man has his life, to make of it what he will and that the only thing that counts is just work.
 Small in stature, as I have said be- fore, his keen bright eyes and pleasant softly modulated voice make you fec quite at home with him the moment you meet him and your first thought is to plunge into the very beginning of things with this talented. phenomenal man who, within the past 10 years, has made an innovation in the theatrical business which will make the name ot "Loew famous in the annals of his tory at all times and in all ages--a name which carries with it dignity. honor and integrity.
 When I first meet people," MT Loew said to me, they usually look at me in astonishment my five feet six inches being rather diminutive by the side of the average man, as if to say. We'll how did a little fellow like you ever become the owner of over 20o theatres?
 And that has been a big factor in my life work" Mir. Loew continued,
  to have little ambitions and little ideas and little ability. I was taunted With this during my early life, people sup posing that little man never amount ed to anything; it rather irritated me, and so I got busy"
 And just mopped up the theatrical earth,' I interpolated. at which he smiled and quickly went on:
 "I went into business for myself et the age of Il years. At years of age I was selling newspapers on the East Side in New York and seeing life in all it's worst phases-the sordid, low life of the slums as well as the life of the rich and prosperous who stepped from l their magnificent equipages down Park | Row, which I also frequented, while I shivered with the cold, crying. Buy my papers! Buy my papersH Of course l I went to school a bit, but always sold papers: my mother used to beg me not ! to go out when the snowstorms were bad at night, but always there wa. that ambition to be the best newsboy around in my neighborhood, to sel more papers than anybody else and tt make my parents proud of me, and st 1 I always went"
 | q should hate for my boys to know O life at 21, what I knew of it at G. MT Loew said with pathos that reveals tn I heart of the man-his gentleness ant | kindness and somehow you couldn't hell picturing in your mind the little brown eyed, 6-year- old "newsie" as he stoo with his little bundle of papers crying 1 Buy my papers, Mister" and your hear just got all muddled upsand little ol tears somehow got into your voice as yo stammered out
 | What wonderful, wonderful story Of course, you'd be a wonder man." "Oh. all that was part of the game. MT. Loew said, quickly Coming to tn rescue. T found out early in life tha there is no royal road to success, bu that what we are and what we acquir in this world comes through but one me dium, hard work and stickability. 0 course, you've got to like your job; can't imagine a man working at a pro fession that he doesn't like: because the there is no heart in your work; it drudgery but if you love your work

past four years have spent $39,00O,0O0 in putting up new theatres for me. I have eleven general men heads of depart ments. who started with me at s15 week and who are now receiving from S20,0o0 to $25,O00 year salary. I have never lost a head of a department in the 10 years of my theatrical business, for it has been only 10 years since I bought my first theatre, and I have lost only two of my managers of theatres in all that time. There is a splendid spirit of loyalty and comeradeship among us and every feels personal pride in our business and our success.
 T learned long ago that success is not weighed by the money at ones com mand," MT. Loew said. When you come down to real facts, suppose the most successful man is the one who has made the world a better place to live in and has thrown a little happiness into the lives of others. This is the ideal l should like to reach and which I am striving to reach by giving clean, wholesome enter tainment to the thousands who compose

 When l was Il years old, I owned a business of my own-a printing plant, and l published a newspaper" Mir. Loew said, ''so you see you and I have something in common-the newspaper game. There was nothing very extraordinary about this venture of mine, however, except that l was very young and I did lot of hustling; but it was the beginning, really, of my life as business man. I learned to know people, to read charac- ter, and to understand values.
 Tt wasn't a great while before. big epoch in my life, one which stands out in my memory as perhaps the greatest event in my life, took place. MT. Loew said 'I refer to my meeting with one Of the greatest geniuses, one of the most wonderful men that I have ever known, David 3yarfield America's greatest character actor. MT. Warfield and I became associated in business to- gether after short while, as we still are today, and it came about through both of us becoming interested in very unique little machine, the 'drop-a- penny ir-the-slot' machine, and you saw nov
 ing pictures. This was the forerunner of the movies MT. Warfield and I saw the possibilities of the game and so we put up The Penny Arcade on Fourteenth street, in New York. It was a success rom the very start, and when I tell you that one of these Arcade places in Gin cinnati established along with many others over the country turned in profit or $5o,VO a year, you can understand how the crowds poured in and liked it. rms turned the current of events for me, Tor 1t taught me that cheap and popular amusement wah what the people the masses-wanted," MT Loew said. The working man and woman like to be amused as we'll as the millionaire and they can't afford g for theatre tickets, and so l began to establish my theatres on this principle. Today in New York we operate about AS Loew theatres-good pictures, good vaudeville, high-class serv- i ice and polite attention to our clientele,

N AIR. MARCUS LOEw, the worl1 UWlI famous theatric magnate, is the biggest little man I've ever met but then Napoleon was bare ly five feet 2, and he nearly conquered Europe. Hartman was just two sizes bigger than a peanut and he owned more railroads than he ever could ride on. So why mention size, for it has nothing to do with the brain, the ener- gy, the ability of a man?
 I've been waiting for years to meet Mir. Loew; always when he has been in Birmingham I've been in New York, and vice versa; but Wednesday when he dropped in to pay little pop call" to his colleagues here. I found my chance at last and eagerly grasped 1t. for there were many things that I wanted to know about this theatrical wonder man." the qualities which have contributed conspicuously to his suc- cess, the attributes, what you will, which he regards as essential toward making the tremendous success of life he has and which emanates from such a modest and discourag ging beginning.
 The chance I had to chat with MT Loew was only too brief-surrounded as he was by scores of old friends bus mess associates and others-but then why take hours and hours to talk to person to find out whether or not he is attractive-capa pable-unusual? It is indeed a poor compliment to say of man that you must see great deal of him in order to tell what he is like. for whoever carried away first im- presSion' of a weak, vacillating or ifi- decisive character? Not I!
 The expert chess player is never so disconcerted that one can generally foresee many of his moves" especially in the early part of the game; it is sign that he is a good player; only the anna teur is uncertain; and similarly tEe sensible man is seldom sorry that first meetings cause one to make quick judgments either for better or worse, for there is always something definite to tell and the controlling inn pression that I had of MT. Loew in my brief conversation with him reveals first of all the fact that he is man of tremendous boise; nothing discon- certs him; smooth, even, gentle--as modest as a girl Why even when you complshed, at the tremendous fortune he has acquired. of the high standing that he has maintained always in his theatrical ventures-he merely passes it by with a smile as if he were just plain, everyday business man with a little "corner store" in his own name, instead of multi millionaire the atrical magnate with an ownership of over 200 theatres to his credit and d pay roll of over $10, 900, 900 a year.
 I like MT. Marcus Loew very much;
