Science

When airplanes demonstrated their
real efficiency. some twelve or four
teen years ago, it was predicted that
most travel, at least for short trips,
would soon be made by air How
ever, this has not happened. The
reason is that passenger flying has
not been developed in the United
States; stunts and speed have been
more interesting.
In England the air ministry has
been more interested in making fly
ing safe and comfortable than in
breaking records. 1t has set aside
a large sum for work along that line.
AS a result of this policy passenger
flying is as safe as railroad travel
and much safer than auto travel.
Regular passenger service is main
tanned between London and Paris
and thus far only one Of these Eng
fish commercial planes has fallen in
to the channel. The plane itself was
unchanged, but the engine was soon
ruined and the plane had to be sunk
for safety to passing flying vessels

ASHINGTON, July .1-Repub-
IWI lican leaders are becoming I'm
easy. if not actually alarmed,
over what at first was heralded as
fine campaign material when Attor-
ney General Stone filed suits against
the Standard OIL co. and some forty
other companies at Chicago the 9th
er day.
The reason for the concern lies in
the fact that listed among the sec
ondary" defendants is the Pure Oil
Co. of Ohio, in which Charles @.
Dawes, vice presidential candidate,
is commonly believed to be a heavy
stakeholder, and of which his broth
er. Beman G. Dawes of Marietta,
Ohio, is president.
Although the Department of JUS
tice has issued a denial that Charles
G.. Dawes has any connection with
the company, and the La Toilette
committee failed to bring out any
connection two years ago VIXEN
Beman Dawes was questioned, the
feeling prevails that it certainly
won't help the Republican campaign
to have the name of Dawes linked
up with the gasoline suits.
Calls 1t Prize Bone
One Of the highest officers in the
G. o. P. organization is quoted as
having characterized the bringing of
the suits at this time as "a prize
bone"
There is a persistent feeling that
the suits were prepared before the
Cleveland convention when Dawes
was not regarded as particularly
strong vice presidential timber.
Although there is no public record
that Charles G. Dawes has any con.
nection with the Pure Oil Co. year
ago when the company put out S12,.
100000 Of 61a Ter cent sinking fund
notes, the underwriting was done by
Halsey. Stuart & Co. and the Cen.
trail Trust Co Of Chicago, Of which
Dawes is board chairman.
Agreements Cited
The action against the company is
based on Attorney General Stones
claim that it was one. OF some thir-
ty-six concerns which entered into
agreements with the Standard Oil
Co. and other primary defendants
containing restraints Of interstate
and foreign commerce.
The Pure Oil Co. was organized at
Columbus, Ohio. in 1914 under the

But when the moon comes out
when the days work is done and
all is hushed, James z. Macusker-

Through a strange freak of legal
red tape, Macusker finds himself in
this weird tangle He's sane by day
and insane by night-according to
the courts.
Macusker edits a weekly periodical
devoted to business and politics. He
blames his political enemies for his
present trouble. Two years ago his
matrimonial difficulties came into the
courts. His wife had him arrested
for non-support.
Instead of ending the matter
with a simple court ORDER" Macus-
ker explains, Il was sent to an
asylum, as being unable to manage
my affairs"
His property. in other hands, lost
it's value. About a year ago on a
writ of habeas corpus he was once
more brought into court, and again
found to be not responsible for his
acts. But the law granted him a
daily parole between the hours of
5 a. m. and p. m. when he would
be allowed, unattended, to go to his
business. After p. m. he was
again to return to the asylum. and
for the night the State was to be his 4
keeper.
And so, every day Macusker goesy
alone to his business. He works
hard and again the business is be1x

In Neze, York
By STEVE HANNAGAN

NEW YORK, July flames John
Brady, S2-year-old veteran Of the
Civil War. who was born in New
York, left when he was 10 and has
since made his home in Vincennes,
Ind, returned for the convention.
He thinks the Brooklyn bridge,
built since he left his old home here
on Fourteenth St. in downtown New
York, is a great improvement over
the Fulton St. ferry, which was in
use during his early boyhood.
He was amazed that he could not
find the Hennessy family-great
friends Of his sixty-nine years ago.
None knew anything about them.
Brady stole away from his board
ing house abode in Vincennes to
come here to attend the Democratic
convention. Out in Indiana his $72-
a-month pension is fortune. 1t
didn't take long to dissipate his saw
ings here in New York.
He couldn't obtain a seat for the
convention he came here to witness.
Seats cost 500. Brady didn't have
even enough money to buy food.
So he applied to the Travellers Aid
Society They obtained a seat for
him, provided him with necessaries
and sent a guide along with him.
Money came from Vincennes for
his return.
Times have changed, of course,
but" he challenged, you could put
me down anywhere in Broadway and
l wouldn't be lost"
Brady had a great time. Adven-
ture was upon this S2-year-young
man who grew up with the West.
The only disappointing aspect of
his trip was-he couldn't find the
Hennessy boys.
