Third Assistant Postmaster General
w. Irving Glover today came to the
defense of the new designs.
He declares that the changes
under consideration are for the
best interests of the service" and
are a response to thousands of let
ters suggesting a new issue of post

of the postal service"
THE department knows that

"In as much as stamps from one

the portrait Of Washington and the

the lack Of distinctive features"
The Third Assistant Postmaster
General declares that the cost Of pre-

Former FolIies Girl Believes

The trouble in which Marilynn

controversy very we'll. Miss Mil

Wedding q Mistake.
feel, as Mr.. Ziegfeld does, that
Miss Miller will make a mistake in
marrying Jack Pickford. He is un-
der a cloud; what happened during
the war Is a matter of record.
Miss Miller's intimations that Mr..
Ziegfeld is sentimentally interested
In her do not think deserve much
comment. I suspect that Miss Miller
has taken all too seriously the mash
notes that make up so large a por-
ton Of a theatrical stars mail. and
that she has come to hold a high
opinion of her attractiveness to man
kind generally. Mr.. Ziegfeld is al
ways most courteous and solicitous
and he takes q very real personal in
terest in the Follies girls. but 1t Is my
opinion that the likelihood of any sen
timental interest on his part for Miss
Miller is extremely dubious.
When Marilynn Miller came to the
Follies she was hardly more than p
child. She was under the striCtest
parental discipline; there were dane
ing lessons from 9 o'clock in the
morning until matinee time. and she
was taken home Immediately after
the theater. She had comparatively
little spending money of her own.
Sharp Transition.
The condition was much the same
in Jack Pickford's case. His early
years were not spent in an atmos-
phere of wealth, but later a wealthy
sister was able to smooth life's path
way for him and to make possible
for him a quick success that he
would hardly have achieved by his
unaided efforts.
The result of the sudden transition
from the rather gray background Of
their early years to their present
affluence has been just what one
might expect. 1t was not until Miss
Miller's marriage to Frank Carter
Athat she was free from the discipline
Of her childhood. Then she began
meeting a great many people, and
this summer her home at Great
Neck has been filled with friends,

chosen.
like Miss Miller very much. She
was a charming little girl when 1
first knew her and she Sas great
talent. She has simply been unfor-
tunate in experiencing so sharp a
transition from a rather strict dis
cipline to complete freedom and
almost unlimited means.

Army Experts Say Perilous
Flight Shows Success Of
Lighter-Than-Air Craft.
BY Cosmopolitan News Service.

Ability OF lighter than aircraft
to conquer the elements even in the
inky blackness of the night WAS
demonstrated beyond a doubt by
the night flight of the giant army
dirgible. CO. over New York City,
army aviation officials declared to-
day.
The perilous flight of the army

metropolis through impenetrable
fog, high wind and rain &C.
companied by lightning. was sue.
cessful test of the night service
such aircraft could furnish in time
of war, according to the army ex.
perts.
The dirigible. one Of the oldest
and smallest in the service, will
make a night flight over the desert
in the transcontinental trip, planned
for 1t in September.
Only Three Stops.
The balloon will fly at night dur
ing a large part of the long Journey
to the Pacific Coast, only three
stops being scheduled en- route.
The airGhip will have radio to
keep 1t in constant touch with the
world below on its flight.
Planes, blind and helpless in dark
ness or fog, are totally unable TO
compete with dirigibles in such con-
ditions as the CO met on it's New
York flight.
Engine failure, the necessity for
rising quicklyt TO considerable heights,
inability to keep on an even keel
except by balancing level and num-
erous other difficulties put the use
of airplanes for night service and
work in fogs entirely out Of question,
the army experts declare.
Trip An Endurance Test.
"The fact that the rain, wind and
fog were encountered by the CO and
conquered by II at night argues well
for the endurance of lighter-than.air
crafts" said Lieutenant Meyer of the
army air service.
tsThe C-2 is small-having capac-
ity of 172 900 cubic feet and is non.
rigid. The big rigid and semi.rigid
ships of two or three million feet
capacity could do much better, of
course"
The CO will start from Langley
Field, near Hampton Roads, Va, on
it's transcontinental flight.
The ship will ny by Akron and
Dayton, Ohio, to Scott Field, at Bell.
vile, ILL.,, near st. Louis, where It
will make it's first stop.
The route will swing down 10

the second stop will be made. III
Faso. Tex, will be the third stop,
thence by Nogales and Yuma, Ariz.
to the final landing point at Ross
Field Arcadia. Cal, sixteen miles
from Los Angeles.
No attempts at record will be made
on the flight. The trip will be in the
nature of an endurance test to dem.

UP Of leading newspaper proprie-
tors in the United Kingdom and the

lalienating the affections of the
Canadian people by neglecting the
laffairs OF her American dominion.
1t must be remembered, he said,
that small differences caused the
separation from England of her
American colonies at the time of
the revolution.
Lord Northcliffe devoted his ad-
dress mainly to what he termed the
most important question he had en-
countered, that of the great "slur
cast upon the people of Canada by
the English embargo placed on their
cattle"
At the present moment. he said,
there was no desire in Canada for
severing connection with the crown
