LADY LUCK
OLD FRIEND
OF AIRMALV
Lieut., Smith, World FIier
Once Fought With Gen.
eraI Villa,

BIZ NEA Serrice
Jew YORK, Sept. 23.-"Lady
I'M Luck" has been a passenger
on the plane of Lieut.. Lowell
Smith for a long, long time.
She sat beside him when he pi
loted his airplane around the world
and, with his comrades. won fame.
And, back in 1915, the Lady was
his constant companion. and he need
ed her then, for he was flying a
plane for Pancho Villa, Mexican
rebel leader.
1t was when Smith was a carefree
adventurer with the Mexican that ]
first met him, for I was with the
Villa forces myself Later saw him
return to the American continent
completing the first trip by airplane
around the world.
How different were the planes he
flew then from the up-to-date one
that carried him around the world.
Junk Planes
The planes that Villa had were q
bunch of junk that some salesman
with a plausible tongue and an eye
for big profit, had unloaded on the
Mexican leader.
They only flew after constant tin.
kering with their engines. And
even after they were in the air, II
was almost impossible to gain an
altitude greater than 500 feet due to
the already high altitude Of Leon,
where the decisive battle with Obre
gon, Carranza's leader, was fought.
But Smith showed then the same
qualities Of endurance and pluck that
have just carried him around the
world.
What mattered 10 him that among
his companions, Mays was killed IN
taking of because his decrepit plane
refused to rise quickly enough TO
clear an adobe wall: that Mcclure
fell to bis death when his engine
stalled; that Fish. unable to get alti-
tude, nevertheless bombed the Car
rancista line from SOC feet. and
came back with a bullet-riddled plane
and a cockpit stained a bright red
from the blood that flowed from his
bullet-punctured leg and arm?
All this was part of the day 3
work.
Smith took his turn at the daily
raids over the enemy lines. Daily
his plane came back with added bull
let-holes until the wings looked Ike
sleeves Lady Luck was with him.
But Smith would take or with A
grin AMI return with a wider one.
Counts Bullet Holes
Gleefully he would count the bul-
let holes In his plane Just to see
how many more close ones the Car
rancists scored today
The heat was intense. When he
was not flying Smith with his com.
panions was generally 10 be found

SEVERE wind and electrical

done in cities in the northern part
Of the State. Indianapolis suffered
little
1t was only the worn out fringe of

Minnesota and Wisconsin, with a
loss of fifty-nine lives and property

thousand years, but the wind and
the lightning remain his masters
Although we've had weather bu-
reau for years it hasn't learned to
subdue and bring to heel a single
half-fed cyclone. 1t has only learned
to cope with a congressional appro-
priation. 1t has. also learned that
terrific storms are due to areas of
low barometric pressure. That
sounds bad, and is. For barometric
pressure may get low, but never
sickly. 1t carries a wallop in either

arguments that win a joint debate

Understanding Reached

1t is generally believed that Tam
many has come to a very satisfac-
tory understanding with Presidential
Candidate Davis, and that success Of
the Davis ticket will give the New
York machine a "look-in" in ma
tional patronage.
This, however, is a secondary
consideration to the matter Of elect
ing municipal officials, but as it is
now felt that neither the national
Democratic ticket nor the New
York City Democratic slate will have
a chance of election unless Smith
is at the head of the State ticket,
the Governor is being made to feel
that his refusal to run will amount
to desertion of the party in a time
of crisis.

@TNCINNATI. Sept. 23.-Pros-
IL poets in Ohio look extraor-
u dirarily good for the La
Toilette Wheeler ticket. Progressive
workers who had been talking of
piling up a vote that would be an
impressive demonstration are now
talking of nothing but ways and
means of carrying the State.
In the November election they are
determined not only to get the vote
out, but to get it counted.
Two important members Of the
Republican State organization have
made private predictions in the past
few days. one is that La Toilette
and Wheeler VIII carry Cleveland.
The other is that La Toilette and
Wheeler Will carry every important
city in the State except Cincinnati.
Farmers for La Toilette
There is reason to believe. further
more. that the Progressive vote is
not confined to the cities Men who
have been among the farmers in re
cent weeks report an amazing
amount Of sentiment for the ticket

liz W ri ASH NJ ON, sept. %
1--WE President Coolidge erred in
- telling a selected group at
the White House on Labor day that
wages are higher today than in 1923
and that living costs are on a
toboggan.
Figures compiled by the Depart
ment Of Labor itself indicate the
reverse Of this condition
Labor Department experts after
careful study find that there has
been a sharp decline in pay scales
in thirty-two leading industries
ranging from 81 TO 1875 per cent
during the past year, while food
prices have failed to drop per
ceptibly.
In six Of the principal cities, food
costs actually increased.
But that doesn't tell the whole
story. While on the one hand the
laborer's pay kept shrinking. and liv-
ing costs remained stationary. en-
ployers throughout the country laid
off workers by the thousands.
Many Out of Jobs
In COST establishments in fifty
two leading industries averaged by
the Labor Department 14.3 per cent
Of the workers were thrown out of
jobs.
Using this as an indx, more than
1900 600 men and women in America
are now jobless and a charge on
those who are employed
This has enabled the employers to
cut pa yrolls 1913 per cent. the Labor
Department states. at the same time
reducing the per capita pay Of those
left on the job by 50 per cent.
Those persons who have been
obliged with a smalir wage to sup
port those who have been dis
charged will tell you how much
truth lies in the Presidents state
ment. They know, for instance. that
for every five or six workmen, one
man is jobless and has to be taken
care Of.
If the President had inquired
about conditions in his own State
he would have found that the work
ers in the textile mills there suf-
fered a pay reduction Of from 10
to 1875 per cent and one out Of every
six persons was fired.
Wages Reduced
In the iron and steel industries,
1911 per cent of the workers have
been dismissed and wages were cut
rs per cent.
Nor will money buy any more now
than it would a year ago. In De
troit, Pittsburgh, Seattle, Cincinnati
and St. Louis living costs have ac-
tually risen. During March, Ajril
and May the average decrease in
food costs for the entire country was
but eight-tenths of l per cent.
Boots and shoes remained at a
level 81 per cent higher than in 1913
Cotton goods manufacturers laid
off thousands of workers and cut
wages, but they boosted the price of
their product per cent to 81 per
cent higher than in 1913
If food, cotton cloth and shoes fail
to drop in proportion to the average
waga. then living costs are higher
for the poor man today than in
1923.
During the past three months the
toboggan of the pay roll has con-
tinued. Out of the f'ty-two indus
tries the Labor Department uses as
the index to conditions. forty-four
made an average cut in pay of 4 per
cent in July over June.

BRISK ACTIVITY
 IN RAIL ISSUES
Most Of St. Paul Bonds Attain New Heights For
 The Year 1924

NEW YORK, March 26.-Brisk ac- tivity in the St. Paul Railroad issues. most of which attained new 1924 highs, featured today's bond market. Moving within narrow limits, prices generally held firm, with trading quieting down as money rates stiffened. @+ ,
 Buying of the St. Paul obligations apparently was predicated in increase in February earnings. The months showing was considered exceptionally favorable with a gain of approximately $S00,000 in net income over the same month last year to $1 ,373,0 ,021. Eclipsing the high record set on a previous spurt which followed reports that arrange ments for refunding maturities due next year had been completed, the 4s of 1925 advanced two points to a new peak price at 86. The convertible 4hs and 5s and the refunding 4hs, debenture 4s and general As made similar gains to new high ground.
 In the cross-currents which marked dealings in other sections of the list, high grade rail and public utility liens showed conspicuous strength, while profit taking depressed speculative rail, traction and copper company issues.
 New bond issues offered today found ready sale, indicating that the recent dearth of new financing has increased the markets absorptive capacity.
 The largest piece of individual cor poration financing in the local market since the Notation of the Japanese loan will be the sale tomorrow of $35 ,000, 900
