AIR.FLIVVERS

Bert Acosta flies his Curtiss wildcat air
plane 2O8 miles an hour. This is at Mineola, =
l., during "spring flying meet" the 1922-model
county fair. The speed broke the worlds record
|by five miles. Unluckily for Acosta it was not
official, SO doesn't count in the records.
What interested the crowd most was the Mum
mert worlds smallest airplane. It weighs $50
pounds, has wing spread of 18 feet and meas
ures only IL feet the other way.
That is close to the universally desired flying
|fivver All that's needed now is quantity produc-
ton and device that will make the plane rise or
descend perpendicularly instead of having to take
off by gliding over a long landing field.

ADVENTURE OF

and especially in radical circles, is
that he advocated policies that gave
Germany such a black name.
| They say he urged the submarine
war to the limit. They say he ad-
vocated dismantling of Belgian mills.
And finally they say he advocated
the wholesale deportation of Belgian
lnun and women who were carried in
to Germany to replace the labor Ger
many lost when she sent her last
sons, to the war. III
since the armistice SHINES has
played an even larger part in Ger
many's life. He has brought about
combination after combination in big
business. He has formed both hor-
izontal trusts-in which one commod-
ity like coal is dealt with-,and verti-
cal trusts in which, for instance, iron
ore is taken and put through every
plDcess from pig iron up to and in
Guiding a thousand articles manufac-
turad of steel or of cast iron.
Shines name appears in the edi.
torials and news columns of the Ger
man papers and is heard on the lips
of political speakers as much as that
lof the ex.kaiser in former days.
Indeed he has accomplished some
thing no Hohenzollern ever achieved.
He has added a new word to the die
tionary. When an editor writes that
business has been "Stinnesiert," :"
everybody in Germany knows it
means the business has been gobbled
up by one OF the SHINES trusts. He
has been called hard names such as
vampire Of the proletariat" and "im-
moral oppor.unist."
Ambition Unknown e,sg54
Nobody kr.ows what his real am
bition is. Some Tina ago a German

ed: "Why do you work SO hard to pile

T. was specially interested TO find
out how he got hiong with the nearly
million msn who work for SHINES or
! the enterprises in which he is large

He himself is quoted in labor
pamphlet as saying: "When we want
to undertake big business PROPOSE
ton We ask two questions first of
all. First, who is the man who will
direct it? Second, whebe are the
thorough workmen? ..If1one can't find
both, one lets the thing alone. We

"Ford Of Germany"
Some people call him the Ford OF
Germany. They tell you that he
/ leads in paying good wages. They
say he led in building homes and
workmen's colonies and was one OF
the first to institute workmen's COM
mittees which could 1ecite their
grievances to the bosses.
But found the great labor paper,
Vorwearts, was opposed to SHINES as
anti social. AS one of the editorial
staff explained to me: "Stinnes pays
good wages, but with the understand
| ing that he is going to demand big
prices. He thus seeks to set his work
men up agains: the nation as a whole.
I, He seeks to segregate his men. We
want fair pay for his workmen, but
we also want fair play for the whole
people Of Germany" .'3

CRUELTY

A law, to curb trained animal acts and possibly
prohibit them entirely, is being framed py the
British parliament.
The idea back of the movement is good one
that trained animal acts are based on cruelty
and usually are without educational value
AS old circus men put it, "All that's necessary
TO train a wild animal is kindness and red-hot
ron."
Killing animals for sport, or training them for
exhibition at profit, is a survival Of savagery.
If England passes the proposed law, she should
hand a CODY of it to the young prince of Wales,
who recently butchered tigers and elephants IN
India, It may be sensible to- kill man-eating
tigers, but that was not his motive.

JOKER

There seems to be joker in nearly everything.
American farmers in March, latest month for
which Uncle Sam has compiled complete figures,
exported 22,668,000 bushels Of corn, compared
with only 1881 900 bushels in March, 1921
That looks like big news. Here is the joker:
Corn exports increased 70 per cent in bushels,
but total money paid for the corn increased only
33 per cent. Win on one hand lose on the other.
