Lucky in Air
Different on Ground

Salt Lake City, June q CA. P. by
MaiD-Lucky in the air but unlucky
on land are Paul Scott and Kenneth
Unger, crack pilots Of government
mail planes stationed here.
At Elko, New. recently Scott, in
alighting from an automobile at the
flying field, stepped into a gopher
hole and broke a bone in his left
ankle.
Unger. after being forced down
near Elko, borrowed u mule from an
accommodating farmer to travel to a
telephone. Somehow the mule and
Cnger couldn't agree and the mail
pilot was thrown, injuring his right
foot.
Neither Unger nor Scott has
suffered a scratch or a mishap in
years Of aviation.

New York. June ~ CA. p. by
MaiD-Reviving a quaint custom Of
so years ago. the Long Island Rail-
road 10 designating its locomotives
by name. instead OF by number.
The return to the oid-time system
was decided upon as a worthy means
OF honoring veteran employees. The
first locomotives to be rechristened,
upon. emerging from the shops with
new paint carried the names 1.-THE
Seaman Birchell' and "The Edward
w. Hulse" in gilt letters along their
cabs and tenders.
Engineman Birchell has piloted
Long Island trains for - years. He
was the first to drive 1.-THE Seaman
Birchell," after the rechristening, and
will continue as its pilot on a pas
senger train on the Wading River
branch.
Engineman Hulse became a rail-
roadman in 1887. He will pilot 1.-The
Edward w. Hulse" on the Speonk
Express. a run he has held for 80
years.

petus behind the Dawes reparation
settlement. The agents, American
and other, who formulated that plan
had no official status. Their work
acquired the official hallmark only
after it was accepted by the Repara-
ton Commission. Subsequently it
was approved by all the govern
ments with votes in the commission
and by Germany. Our relation to it
has therefore ceased to be that of
an outsider. We are directly con-
cerned in the application of any
plan to collect money from Germany
for the commissions benefit, since
we have an agreement with the
Allied powers, signed in May, 1928,
providing for the assignment from
reparation receipts Of annual allot-
ments on the $250.000,000 due us
for the costs of the Rhineland occu-
patton.
The United States has a direct
stake in the recovery Of Germany's
treaty debts. The cost Of the os-
cupations is a prior lien, coming
ahead of restoration Of the devas-
tated regions and Allied pension
and dependent allowances. We do
not share in either of these latter

penses. But our governments pur-

lations in Europe through an honest
effort by Germany to pay her debts.

railroad workers who seek to get con-
troll Of the roads. the farmers who
want their products transported for
less than cost, the importers who
made tremendous profits under the
Democratic tariff. the -Klansmen
ana the anti-Klansmen. The plat.
form shows the makers had these
conflicting demands indelibly i'm
pressed on their minds.
What wonder they concluded to
favor government aid for most every
thing except the merchant marine
