Penrose was elected TO the United
States Senate for the first time In 1897
to succeed Don Cameron. He was then
not quite 81 years old, and his election
was "A triumph by Quay over another an
other wing of the party which had de-
sired to send John Wanamaker to Wash
ington Instead. To Wanamaker's candi-
dacy Quay had appeared to give his con-
sent; then suddenly switched to Penrose
and had him sent along by a good ma
jorlty.
1t has never been said of Penrose
that he went back on friend and
what few acts he ever did that wrought
apparent harm to his own interests or
fortunes were invariably the result of
some promise or In payment OF some
debt real or implied to a friend. He
was Quay's man so long as Quay drew
breath and was never anything but
proud of the description.

writing for n Democratic paper:
'IIe has all Of Quay's tendencies but
none of his talents. There is for in

him for he is a politician. lie Is at his

STINSON OUT TO GET
MORE AIR RECORDS
Aviator Inspired by Success of
Duration Flight in JL-6
Monoplane.
TWO PILOTS RECOVERING

Fingers.

Eddie Stinson, who felt sure on Fri
day that he was through with such
stunts when he landed, half frozen. at
the end of the flight in which he and
Lloyd Bertaud and a JL-6 monoplane
set the worlds record for sustained
flight. felt better about it yesterday.
Having got a good sleep and ascertained
that his frosted fingers would be all
right in few days, he decided to prove
that the Larsen machine is SO good that
it can capture every aviation record
there is.
Next summer may see him going after

record, 1880 feet, held by Lieut.. j. A.
McCready of the United States Army.

competitive flying the world over.
Stinson is determined, however not to
try for any of these this winter. The
ordeal through which he and Bertaud
went to return the duration record to
America in zero weather. snowstorm
and a gale was really serious. Even so.
Stinson believes that if the two pilots
had worn the electrically warmed avia-
tion suits such as the army uses they
could have stayed in the air for six
hours longer If necessary.
There was sufficient reserve gasoline
and there would have been enough oil.
except for congealing, which made it
necessary to smash a hole In the tank
with result that much oil was wasted
on another trip the oil trouble could be
averted.
The JL-6 was built for endurance
rather than speed. 1t is likely that by
next summer John Larsen will have
others of the same type, including a
specially built racer. Mr.. Larsen feels
that he has the greatest airplane in the
world for all sorts of purposes and Is
eager for demonstrations.

Bertaud felt little stiff. Aside from
that and Stinson's sore f.ngers-three on
his right hand and on his left-they
were all right.

Organize Scout
Troops in
Albania

In the quaint old town Of Ti-
rama there has just been organ
lied the first troop of Boy Scouts
in Albania. 1t was organized by
an American woman experienced
in the handling of boys.
She got a few boys together
and told them about the BOY
Scouts of America: she organ
lied hikes, taught them scout
games and songs, and the boys
agreed to perform daily a good
turn. They soon became deeply
interested and thirty-five uni
forms were ordered, greatly to
the delight of those bright Al
banian lads. In one particular
the uniform differed greatly
from that worn in this country,
the regulation hat was missing.
Instead, there was substituted a
sort of overseas cap of black
felt, with tartan band Of red
and black-the national colors-
around the edge and hanging
down the back. The Scout hat
was forbidden because most Of
the boys are Mussulmans and
must always wear,a feZ or brim-
less hat so that their faces may
not, be concealed from Allah.
Shortly after the troop was
organized the Scouts. headed by
drum and bugle corps, partici-
pated in an official reception to
the French Commission, and the
Albanians for the first time in
the lives of most of them, saw a
part Of a guard of honor COM
posed of The Boy Scouts of Al
bania.' They created SO much
enthusiasm that the Junior
American Red Cross school
teacher called a meeting of all
persons interested in making
the Boy Scouts a permanent part
of the Albanian educational
system. Many government off,
cials attended. including several
members of the parliament, with
the result that the Minister of
War was made the honorary
colonel of the organization and
a few days later a monthly al
lowance was voted from the
government treasury to meet
the expenses OF the Tirana troop
and to push the Boy Scout or
Canization throughout Albania.

in America and served as scout
masters have volunteered their
services and are training others.

duties of the scoutmaster.
American books on scouting are
being translated for the use OF
the Albanians.
Before the boys in the Junior
American Red Cross school were
taught to breathe fresh air, to
play games and to help one an
other. they usually spent their
holidays sitting cross-legCed

first to take a plunge into the Po-

jumped from the bridge on the West

four minutes. They swan about in
their bathing suits. The plunge
into the deep water was from about
a height of sixty feet.
Previous TO taking the splash,
they padded about on the river in a
canoe and wore no protection. After
the swim they were SO benumbed
that they had TO have the assistance
OF colored boys to button their cloth
ing and lace their shoes. A large
crowd was on the bridge to witness
the feat.
