DooIittle's Day

Lieutenant James Fl. Doolittle's
flight from Jacksonville to San Diego
in 81 hours and is minutes proves,
exactly what he set out to prove, the
vastly superior mobility OF air craft
over any other branch OF military and
naval facilities, and its practicability
in any campaign of preparedness by
the United States.
That is the Importance Of his
achievement. Pages can be written
about this phase Of it; how other ma
tons are competing for air suprem-
acy; how the United States, leading in
this branch commercially, is woefully
neglectful OF it in the military field;
how Congress has been niggardly in
appropriations to improve this SER
vice. to keep 1t abreast with the
standards of this service in European
countries and in Japan; how 1T is i'm
perative that the country should be so
we'll prepared that in case of emery
ency 1t can move a potent first line Of
defense from one coast to the other in
one day.
But today is Doolittle's very own
The romance is his. The human side
; of It is the interesting one.
"PI be there for dinner: don't wor-
ry," he told his family when he
reached San Antonio yesterday morn
ing. He did. He got there at 5:45
The moonlight lies on the waters Of
the Atlantic Doolittle says, Good
evening, friends, I've got dinner en-
gagement on the west beach" and
he's off.
He arrives on the Pacific shores in
time to wash up and dress up and
ask is Dinner ready?"
America does not close its eyes to
mighty achievements, such as the one
Doolitt1e is responsible for. America.
like Doolittle, possesses vision, and
will see In this flight the beginning
OF new day in transportation. It
staggers the Imagination.
In case of an attack on the Pacific
side, in less than twenty-four hours
khaki-clad defenders to the number
of hundreds of thousands can be
transported across the open route Of
the heavens and formed into a mighty
phalanx of protection in the face of the
enemy. Or II the attack happens to
be on the Atlantic side, and regiments
or divisions of troops are on the Pa
cific coast, all forces can be solidified
in less than a day.
Doolittle has shown the possibilities
of concentration in war. Also the
possibilities of transportation in
peace.
International Intercourse is the big
peace builder, 1t wrecks provincial
ism with all its ingrown prejudices.
We will soon hop off to engage in
business conference in Toxic, Picking
or Shanghai or to meet a social en-
gagement in Paris.
AS we mingle we understand. Yes

WINCHESTER FRIEND PAYS
FOND TRIBUTE TO MEMORY OF
CHARLES LEE ROBINSON.


The Winchester Star, of Win
chester, Virginia, published the fol-
lowing appreciation of Charles L.
Robinson, father of Mr.. Frank B.
Robinson, of Ransom and Charles
Town, who died recently at his home
in Winchester.
A Personal Appreciation.
Twenty years ago a strong per-
sonality came to Winchester in the
prime of his vigorous manhood. To-
day, a host of friends multitude of
beneficiaries of his transformations
charity and a loving family, mourn
the departure of C. l.. Robinson to
that land from which no traveller
ever returns. My close personal re-
lations with Mr.. Robinson began
thirteen years ago, when we ventured
together upon a business partner
ship which has lasted without fric-
ton and without interruption
through the uncertainties of two
periods of business depression and
the world war. In times of pros
perity and in times of depression his
unerring judgment and his uncom-
promising loyalty to right have
brought success to his efforts and
honor to his name.
His dominating characteristics
were best exemplified in his business
dealings. He was absolutely fair
and square to his associates and in
sisted upon the same sort of treat
ment in return. Like all strong per-
sonalities, he had definite opinions,
but even those who did not share his
views were in agreement that he
never took advantage of a weaker
man and never compromised his
conscience in business transaction.
His charities were many, but not
generally known. have personal
knowledge of instances where he has
helped others with the understand
ing that his name would not appear.
From the very day that Mr.. Rob-
inson came to Winchester from
Fairmont, West Virginia. he has
made his personality felt in the com
munity. His business foresight
enabled him to build up number
of activities, all of which have pros
pered, and to all of which he gave
his personal attention and super
vision. The loss to the community
as business man and as citizen is
great.
His friends and associates, among
whom ! have the honor to be mum
bered, will miss the benefit of his
judgment, the enthusiasm of his
dynamic personality, and the warmth
of his friendship. Personally, the
loss occasioned by his demise is
separable. l have lost a business
partner upon whom / have depended
with unfailing satisfaction, and
have lost friend who never failed
to sympathize or understand.
While his material body mould.
ers in the soil of earth and his sou
goes into the eternal presence of the
God who gave him life, the memory
of his exemplary sojourn among mer
will remain as long as memory lives
and this memory will serve as an in
spiration to those who knew him
whether as business associate, 6
neighbor, friend or father.

Fourteen men indicted for COM
plicity in the march into Logan

claimed in that county last August

ed up and captured by detachment
of 20 state troopers on Cabin and
Paint Greeks in Kanawha county.
Those scheduled for trial here at the
next term of court will be increased

able the miners who may bring their
families with them to use the stables
on the Horse Show grounds for
sleeping rooms during the trial, ii
being planned to have large tent
for their use in cooking and eating
there. 1t is said they have offered
the accommodations sought for $40
a day, or $500 month, with a min
imum charge of $3.50, the miners to
pay for their water and light.
/ Already several special correspon-
dents from large City Daily Papers
have been here arranging for suitable
accommodations to handle the news

pected to be of Nationwide interest

general of West Virginia, will be a
candidate for the Republican nomi-
nation for the United States senate.
He will announce his candidacy in

ed from what is considered authora-

wishes of his friends who have been
urging him to get into the contest.

COLE BROS. WORLD-TOURED
SHOWS.

Cole Bros. World-Toured Shows
and Trained Wild Animal Exhibition
at Charles Town on Friday, April
%, for two performances, afternoon
and night, rain or shine. The Cole
Bros. Show is larger and greater
than ever, with nothing old but
everything new The slogan of this
mammoth organization is Different,
Up-to-Date and Ahead of That"
The Cole Bros. are the most pro-
gressive and wide awake men in the
show business; nothing escapes their
eagle eye; their name stands for
everything that is clean, wholesome
meritorious, glorious and unblemish-
ed. Merit and magnitude always
considered, suggestiveness and vul-
garity relegated-the comfort of
women and children their first duty.
Hundreds of men and women per-
formers and workingmen are carried
with this show, also hundred horses
and shetland ponies, camels,
elephants, dens of open cages of
man-eating lions, bengal tigers,
leopards, panthers, tigers, pumas,
grizzly and polar bears, monkeys,
horned horse, sacred OK, jaguars, and
many others, including Cole Bros
famous group of $50,000.00 black
named, African bred, performing
lions. No show in the world has a
finer travelling zoo than that owned
by Cole Bros, the greatest perform
ing wild beasts, the wonder and adj
miratloo of the goth century.
The monster is the talk of every
town visited, it is unapproachable
in wealth and gorgeous glittering
trappings, costly velvet costumes,
sleek and shining Arabian horses,
cutest shetland ponies, donkeys,
goats and strange wild animals,
glistening gilded chariots, brass
bands, Egyptian caravans, camels
and boundaries and funny clowns
galore, making a princely display of
a magnificent pageant.
Truly the Cole Bros. show is
unique in its magnitude of superb
entertainment. Leaving the wild
animal department, great delight is
furnished by an unprecedentally long
list of European novelty acts. The
Berne Brothers, the strongest men in
the world, keep the audience spell
bound with their many and varied
feats of strength and wrestling
matches; Prof. Rogers trained ponies
are the delight of the children. Capt.
Herbert's educated Seals and Sea

Madame Rogers High School act is
most diverting; the Whites in their
