notwithstanding the glow
L Of happiness which had taken him
down to Westminster with the bearing
Of a young man, felt occasional little
shivers Of doubt as he leaned back in his
seat during the intervals Of brief but
portentous debate and let his mind wan
der back to that short hour when he
seemed to have emptied out all the hidden
yearnings which had been lurking in the
dark corners Of his heart and soul. His
love for Jane had no longer the boyish
characteristics Of a vague worship.
He made no further pretenses to him
self. It was Jane herself, and not the
spirit of her sex dwelling in her body.
which he desired. A tardy heritage OF
passion at times rejuvenated him and at
others stretched him upon the rack.
He walked home later with Dartrey,
clinging to the man with a new SYM
pathy and drinking In with queer con-
tent some measure Of his happiness.
Dartrey himself seemed little ashamed
Of its exuberance.

NEW YORK UNIVERSITY
FREE OF DEBT AT LAST
Chancellor BroWn Says Next
Big Step Is Research Work.

In his annual report submitted to the
Council of New York University yester-
day Chancellor Elmer Ellsworth Brown
incorporated a message of thankfulness
that the university for the first time in
a generation, II not actually in the entire
ninety-one years of its existence, has
been freed of the burden of debt. The
universitys financial handicap had not
been removed, Chancellor Brown said
but he pointed out that New York Uni
versity "fcr the first time has this run
ming start toward the financial goal Of
adequate endowment"
Discussing plans for the future, the
chancellor laid great stress on a pro-
gram for research work among the fac
ulties. which he outlined. In this direc-
ton,'' he said, "lies the next greatest
advance that we are called upon to
make. As the lifting of the fog of debt
enables us to look about us we see
clearly that to performTts normal func-
ton as university this institution must
be greatly strengthened on the side Of
research. with several forms of equip
'ment that are contributory thereto

The main avenue of approach
may be pictorial or verbal;
the appeal may be emotional
or logical, direct or indirect.
Deciding these points is a
matter of knowing the reasons
why people buy things and
why certain other people ought
to buy them.
Knowing these facts, and
quite a number of others of
equal Importance, enables us
to arrive pretty accurately
at what a group of advertise
ments should be like before
any one begins to write them.
The forms and blanks which
we have devised to outline
these methods and to prevent
mistakes before they are
made, make an interesting

The witness said he refused to have
anything TO do with the plan. Munchick,
he went on, even brought to the home of
the witness a chauffeur whom he pre-
sented as the man from Philadelphia" :"

ters so that he might get the necessary
credentials to take out the car. The car

FarIey's story.
A singular discrepancy in evidence
was developed when the commission
called Thomas NJ. Farley. formerly a
member of the Board of Aldermen and
now Deputy County Clerk and leader
Of the Thomas NJ. Farley Association,
with a clubhouse in East Sixty-second
street.
Mr.. Farley testified that he went to
Bridgeport. Conn.,, with a bus operator
named Joseph Succa, and, with $500
Of Succa's money. bought bus for
Succa, pretending he was purchasing
the vehicle for himself. He explained
that Succa owed money to the Bridge
port man who owned the bus, and that
IL Succa himself tried to make the pur-
chase the Bridgeport man, Herman
Isaacs. might try to collect the obliga-
ton and also perhaps overcharge Succa
for the bus.
The former Tammany Alderman de-
clared that Succa gave him exactly
Sl,5OO, mot penny Hnore or iess'
Succa, he said, had been a schoolmate
and he did this entirely for friendships
sake. He also had spoken a good word
for Succa to Commissioner Whalen in
hope of getting his friend on good
line.
Mr.. Shearn incredulously asked !:
'You took all this trouble, went to the
Commissioner all these times. made two
trips to Bridgeport, all just because

William ]. Flynn, Commissioner o.
Public Works of The Bronx, was the
first witness called yesterday. Mr.
Shearn questioned him concerning TIL,
| permit granted to Emile Leindorf tc
operate the first bus line over Tho
Grand Concourse and also concerning
the arrangement by which Leindor1
paid to Commissioner Flynn a renta
of $4,000 for the privilefe of storing his
buses for four months in the Commits
toner's newly completed garage al
10th street and Cromwell avenue.
Commissioner Flynn defended these
i transactions as quite proper. He said hs
never had seen Leincorf before he met
him on the day Leindorf received his
permit, July 1, 1921. The arrangement
for the use of the Flynn garage fol-
owed naturally and was a mutually ad-
yantageous one during the perioo when
Leindorf was reconstructing his own ga
rage so that it would have sufficient
clearance for his high top buses.

800 MILES AN HOUR
This Within Five Years, Says
Gen. Mitchell, and $50 in
Near Future.
PLANS A WORLD FLIGHT
Likely to Take Six Planes in
Trip Starting With a Hop
to Iceland.
Special Dispatch to THE NEW York HERALD
New York Herald Bureau.
Washington, ID. C., Oct %. !


New York Herald Bureau.
Washington. ID. C.. Oct 23.
BriS.-Ge William Mitchell, Assist
ant Chief OF the Army Air Service, pre-
diets $50 miles an hour for airplanes
very soon and 500 miles an hour within
five years. Gen. Mitchell made the pre-
diction on his return to-day from the
international air races at Mount
Clemens, Mich, where he attained the
worlds speed record of 224.3s miles an
hour. What the eventual speed may be
nobody knows or will know for years
to come, in his opinion.
So enthusiastic is Gen. Mitchell over
the result of the recent tests and the
upsetting of all speed records that he is
thinking of launching a trip around the
world with a squadron of six planes.
The first leg or the flight might be a
"hop off" from New York TO Iceland
from there to England. and thence
around the globe. 1t is the desire OF
Gen. Mitchell to make record for speed
and efficiency with his squadron
In the preliminary tests the remark
able speed record set by Gen. Mitchell Is
said unofficially to have been exceeded
by Lieut.. r. NJ. Maughan, also OF the
Army Air Service, 24S.5 miles an hour
having. been fixed as his record. But,
since there was no official timing, the
speed of 224.3S miles of Gen. Mitchell
stands.
Gen. Mitchell said to-day tnat Lieut.
Maughan would be permitted, with offi-
cial timers, to make another attempt at
the record, which, while it would not be
International, would stand SO far as the
fnftC 4
cial record held by the French after tests
year ago was 205 miles an hour.
What this speed of 224.3S miles an
hour really means is obvious from the
fact that it is nearly twice as fast as
cannon balls travelled through the air at
the time of the civil war. While the
cannon balls started at 500 feet Sec
ond, they slowed up to zoo feet second
whereas the speed Travelled by Gen
Mitchell was at the rate of 363.07 feet
second.
The flying was done at about 1Ss
feet from the ground.' Gen. Mitchell en-
plained, "this being desirable, so that ac-
curate timing could be Accomplished
The speed was attained at an altitude
and then the plane was leveled off close
to the ground in order to SO over the
course.
The wlnd stream Is teTiiio "Heh ~
ing at this speed The first time / tried
