Major F. l.. Martin, commander

Lowell Smith and Leigh Wade, two
more of the army's best pilots, lift
ed their bulky cruiser planes from
the earth almost at the moment
their leaders plane hoped off.
The three experts pilots mancuver-
n1 their huge crafts almost with the
grace of pursuit monoplanes, al
though the Douglas sky cruisers are
ferryboats in comparison.
The flyers took off into a 25
mile breeze but into a cloudless sky.
Hundreds of persons were at the
flying field TO wish them bon voy-
age.
Lavishly Feted
In the few hours they were free
from the duty of caring for theil
planes, the eight members of the
world circling party were feted
lavishly by officials and leaders OF

Thou Art a Mystery, Woman,

Jeffrey Farno Started Something When He Brought Out
Time-WOrn Masculine AIib Pretending Women
Are Har dto Understand
By MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

By MRS. WALTER FERGUSON
Comes now Jeffrey Farnol, well
known novelist. and re-asserts that
it is impossible for men ever to IN
derstand women; that we are the
riddle Of the universe, our hearts
pools of mystery, our vagaries as
changing as the winds; that we pos
sess the elusive charm of the un-
known and that no man will ever be
able to comprehend the secrets Of
our being; that we harbor unfathom-
able spiritual depths, and that man
gropes forever in an endeavor to
know US.
This is old stuff and makes a good
alibi for the men. They seem to
get a lot OF delight in pretending
at the same time. they love TO be-
lieve that we can read them like an
open book.
But look at the number Of things
we can't fathom about them-only
we do not make such a fuss about it,
prehension of any woman as to why
men dislike to be talked to at the
breakfast table.
Why they find tobacco such i
soothing sedative for themselves and
so bad for us.
Why they advocate modesty in
women and still trail after those who
are immodest.
Why they are always talking
about 'woman's place being in the
home" when they can't run their
business without a woman steno-
grapher.
Why they expect to have brilliant
sons when they will pick out empty
headed lappers to marry.
Why they make jokes about Us
talking so much when Congress is
made up solely Of their sex.

Why they laugh at womehs clubs

Why they like prize fights.
Why they deem us judicially unfit

Why they like sensible clothes

Why they are for bobbed hair for

LETTER FROM SYDNEY CARTON
TO PAULA PERIER
MY DEAR PAULA:
You will probably be surprised to
get letter from me. First, I want
to tell you that I am coming out to
California on another business trip,
and l want to know if you're going
TO stay in Hollywood all summer,
and I should very much miss not
seeing you.
Then I want to congratulate you
on your latest picture, Her Last
Card" You are improving every
picture you make, and ] think that
is the highest compliment I can pay
you. In ali the others that you have
presented you seem to have been
feeling NOur way, but in Her Last
Card" you have given much of your
self and your knowledge of life that
has come from your tragic expert
ences-something that no director
could have possibly brought out.
I wonder if you have reached the
place along life's highway where
you are able to get good perSpec-
tive on those experiences. If you
have, you will know that which all
of us sooner or later come to know,
that all of life is good.
I've been wondering if you've
found any one in Hollywood that in
any way makes you forget your old
friends. Now, I'm not going to make
that old. banal statement, that I
hope you have not done 50. On the
contrary, I am going to tell you that
hope you have made new friends
that take the place of the old. In
fact, I'm quite sure you have, for
you seem to be growing not only in
your art. but in beauty. The lines
and drawn look are coming out of
your face, and the moment a person
begins to stop making new friends,
that moment that person begins to
grow old and ugly and naturally

leaves behind the real joy Of living
There are so many old saws, Paula
dear, that we like to think are true.
that are not only false but foolish;
and one of them that "old friends,
old shoes, and old wine are best"
is especially fallacious.
1t all depends. you know Out of
the ruck of old friendships. one
sometimes finds one or two that sat
isfy as life, with its numerous
changes Of environment and inter
ests, goes on. Unfortunately ones
taste in friendship changes as ones
taste in shoes or wine changes. If
old shoes are worn over at the heel,
and the insides of them do not con-
form to your feet, they become I'M
comfortable-they don't fit; and old
wine often tastes more of theA cork
than of the fragrance Of the grape.
I never wear old shoes, principally
because 1 don't like the looks Of
them. They do not fit my beauty
loving soul. And old wine in these
Volstead days is apt to be spurious.
I know very well the people to whom
swore in my own mind answering
fidelity in my youth would not ap-
peal to me if I should meet them
again now, after years of absence.
We have gone very different ways
and now look at life from very diff
ferent viewpoints.
Do not misunderstood me, dear
Paula. There have been both men
and women whose friendship of years
standing I still am very glad to hold
in my heart. But l have also made
new friends who mean quite as much
to me. I find great joy in meeting
new people and making new friends,
and I hope that you have found this
great thrill in life as well as l.

With vacation and warm days the
Mann youngsters would cry for

when Sunday came and daddy could

Picnics and Sunday outings may
