NOT YET THE FLYING FLIVVER

England has just held a competi-
tion fer light airplanes, and the dis
play has not done anything to en-
courage the hope Of an era Of cheap
airplanes for everybody. The Henry
Ford of air travel has not yet made
his appearance. THE small-powered
airplane," says Prof. A. NJ. Low, an
official Of the competition, "is noisy,
very dirty, very uncomfortable, de-
cidedly dangerous and exceedingly
unreliable.''
In place of being a machine which
anybody can handle, it can be operat-
ed with any considerable degree of
safety only by very carefully trained
and skilled pilots. OF eighteen
planes entered for the British con-
test, only eight survived the qualify
ing tests, though, as Prof. Low says,
there are not many people who have
Il quick flying sense, and the gym

SHAKESPEARE
{ Miami NeWs)

This year it is reported by Sothern
and Marlowc who have just returned
from an European tour, that they will
desert Shakespeare for this season
and turn their attention to more
modern dramatic productions. 1t is
hardly conceivable, however, that
these two artists have concluded TO
give up the bard's works for good.
No two people in the world have
given finer expressions to Shake
spcare's plays than T.. II. Sothern and
his wife, Julia Marowe. In fact
their revival some years ago gave
impetus to a widespread interest in
these plays and out Of Sothern and
MarlOwe's artistic and financial sue
cess many distinguished men and wo-
men Of the stage resumed the inter
probation of Shakespeare on the
stage. The success of his plays is
periodical. Sometimes it is ncces.
sary for several years to elapse be-
fore the country is ready to accept
the bard's productions with box Of
flee success to the producers. But
when an honest-to-gOodness revival
comes there always in sufficient re-
Spouse to guarantee results. Soth-
ern and Marlowe have led the way in
this respect. Others have followed
and met with generous reception in
all parts Of the country.
What is true in America is true
equally abroad. England and Ger
many, where Shakespeare enjoys his
greatest popularity, run into years
Of disinterestedness on the subject
and are forced to abandon their ar
tistic success while waiting for the
public mind to veer around to the
point where it demands Shakespeare

ADVENTURE OF

BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON
SNITCHER SNATCH AND THE
BUTTERFLY NET

Johnny Sweep and the Twins flew
along on Johnny Sweeps broom,
carrying Ted's note to the North
Pole.
Lets read it," said Johnny Sweep
suddenly.
Nancy was so shocked at his man
ners that she nearly fell off the
broom. why, Johnny Swept" she
said. "That's not nice! Weren't you
ever brought up?"
"Sure!" said Johnny. "But this is
different. l was just supposing."
"Supposing what?" said Nick.
II was just supposing that what
if something would happen. Then
what? Santa Claus would never
know what Ted wants for Christmas.
But if we read the note, We'll have
it in our heads and then"
That's different" said Nancy.
Lets stop right away and see what
it says"
So Johnny Sweep stopped his
broom in pine-tree and they all got
off and sat in a row on green
branch and read Ted's letter. 1t
said:
Dear Santa Claus: Please bring
me live bull pup, and ten cross
word puzzle books, and sweater
with trees and people on it. and an
ice-hockey stick and about two bus
hels of candy.
"Your friend,
tied"
That's not hard to remember"
said Johnny Sweep. "Come on, we'll
get all the notes we can and then
We'll be off to the North Pole"
So they jumped on his broom again
and rode away.
Every chimney they passed had a
crowd Of Sooties coming out Of the
top and hurrying away toward the
! North.

Sweep. Santa Claus is going to get

there is of him to see being all black

saw sort of gave him a shock. And
it was his eyes that got the shock
