MINGLING WITH MILLIONAIRES

about sitting up with the sick
friend. But your conscience will
be clear.
CLEAR CONSCIENCE.
And if there Is anything we hus"
bands need more than anything
else it is a clear conscience. 1t
really makes outstanding a pleas
ure.
OF course, if you don't care for
millionaires that's your own look
out. Personally, l like them.
They're very kind to the poor.
In all my association with them
on Staten Island ferry boats, of
course-I have never seen one step
on a proletariat. In fact, have
a record of making three step out
of my way. Just like that.
Some I like better than others.
There is one of whom I am
particularly fond. He offered me
some peanuts out OF his own
private sack. No doubt he got
the pleasureable thrill that I get
feeding the monkeys at the 700,
but at any rate it showed a GER
tain clubbiness.
Then there was another who
wasn't SO chubby. 1 fell in step

was something about the tone
of his voice that made me list
his inquiry under the head Of a
dirty dig.
''Do you walk often?" was my
next venture.
But he stopped at the rail to
watch sea gull rise and dip
and 1 walked on. I hope his
coupon clippers go on strike.
BOOST FOR FERRY.
Aside from the thrill of being
herded with millionaires, there is
nothing in New York, to my
notion, that equals a ride on n
Staten Island ferry as the sun
slowly sinks in the West.
There Is the skyline, which
deserves all the putting it gets
Then the shadowy glimpses of
those mysterious canyons on the
lower tip of the island, the rows
Of dark warehouses piled high
with freight for India, Japan
and wherenot.

SAN DIEGO IS
FOREMOST AIR
CAMP OF U. S.

San Diego is rapidly becoming
known throughout the country as
the cradle of aviation for the United
States Army and Navy. In the early
days of this branch of the service,
an aviation station was established
on North Island, in San Diego Har-
Dor, and here some of the most noted
flyers of the country learned the
art that plays such an important
part in the history of the world.
During the war, hundreds of young
men from all parts of the country
made their homes at North Island
while learning to fly for Uncle Sam
and at times the air above San
Diego resembled flight of wild
ducks, so numerous were the air
planes.
Lieutenants John MacRready and
Oakley, who won international fame
last month for making the first
nonstop flight across the country
were trained in San Diego, and
these are only two of the many fiji
crs who have achieved fame and dis
tinction, who received their first
aviation lessons in San Diego.
Flocks of Planes
Visitors to North Island marvel
at the large number of planes which
are kept there even in peace times
and each day sees flocks OF the big
man-made birds soaring above the
city, keeping in trim for any danger
that may threaten our country.
The navy also maintains a seper
ate fleet of airplanes and only last
week held & monster air circus at
which numerous records for navy
flying g-boats were established.
In addition to the large naval
base, marine base and army quarters
at San Diego, information has re-
Gently been received that the sub.
marine base of the Pacific fleet is
to be moved from San Pedro to San
Diego. The natural advantages of
the far famed "HaI0or of the Sun -
are well known to the authorities
at Washington, who realize that the
facilities for offense and defense at
San Diego must be maintained at
the highest level possible.

port to the Panama canal, and the
