TRYING TO MAKE A
COMEDIAN OUT OF DENNY

Men who are interested In making
movies and exhibiting them realize
the need just now OF leading men
who can play light comedy roles.
Good male comedy players are few
and far between. Chaplin has de-
veloped a certain type Of comedy
Harold Lloyd has done the same.
But new leaders are In demand.
Some season ago Reginald Denny
became famous for his work in THE

Propose Board to untangIe Air Troubles

Service but not denoted and trans
ferred, first made dis sensational
charges that we have no air force
to speak of. that our planes are I'M
fit to fly an dthat bureaucrat tic Army
and Navy officers are hamstringing
aviation.
Two Facts Revealed
Hundreds of witnesses were ex-
amined and almost as many differ
ent opinion expressed. But in this
torrent of testimony two facts kept
coming to tn esurface, over and over
again.
1. That the American airplane is
far from being the machine it should
and could be, if properly developed,
and
2. That strictly impartial, objec-
tive-minded and non-political board
of engineers should be charged by
the Government with working out
a national aviation program for the
ice.
The Select Committees report has
not yet been formulated, and will
not be until the completed volumes
Of printed testimony is in the hands
Of all it's members for final review.
The Government printing shop will
finish it's job in June, five bulky
volumes and an index, each about
600 finely printed pages thick.
Cabinet Change Considered
Some members of the committee
believe the ultimate solution Of the
problem lies in the creation of a Sec
rotary of national defense with an
under secretary for the Navy and
and under secretary for the air. But
it is not thought this will be recon-
mended now.
Others believe in a permanent bu-
reau charged with the intensive
study and development of aviation
in general in conjunction with the
Army, Navq and Postoffice Depart
ment. One member would take the

Er1 ASHINGTON, June o.-Unless
WI politics puts it's fingers in the
- pie at the last minute, the
national aircraft muddle, long a
scandal, will be cleared up during
the next session of Congress.
The writer can state on the best
authority that the Select Committee
to investigate the air service named
by Congress in March, 1924, will
almost certainly ask the appoint
nlent of special board, or COM
mission, to take up the whole ques-
ton Of aviation and recommend a
way out Of the ugly mess where it
new is.
Like the wartime advisory board
headed by Thomas A. Edison, it is
: proposed that a commission Of
engineers and other experts be
named from among the best known
figures in the country so that there
could be no questioning of their
findings. This commission would be
asked to make complete survey
of the situation, then recommend
to- the President, or to Congress,
what to do.
Nine Members
The Select Committee is headed by
Representative Florian Lampert, Re-
publican, of Wisconsin. There are
nine members. Created to bring
some order out of the chaos now
strangling American aviation, as
Republican Smell, Of New York, put
it.:
1--WE are spending whole lot Of
money in this arm OF defense and
we hope to bring something out Of
this Investigation that will be con-
structiye and of definite benefit to

in the choir there were q men. And

Oldtimers Nose Out High School
Lads in 10th Inning
An annual event looked forward
to in this section is the base ball
game between former stars of the
diamond and the high school lads.
This game took place on the high
school grounds Monday afternoon
and it was a bang up game from
start to finish. Several errors were
chalked up against the oldtimers on
account of being out of practice.
None of them proved very disas-
trous however as the score would
indicate. Both sides were deadlocked
at the ending of the 9th inning.
Hall who was tWirling for the High
lets and mOmentarily lost control
when he walked two men in the
tenth. These were later followed by
two singles and the damage was
done, three runs and the game was
lost.
One run was lost to the school
boys in the Sth inning when Short |
hit long double. In returning the /
ball to the infield a wild heave was
made, the ball rolling into the
crowd, who returned it to the third
Richards. Short in the
was headed for home and
vas tagged with the ball. The UNI
lire failed to see the interference
md called him out. A great argu-
nent was caused by the decision
which probably lost them the game
n the regulation nine innings.
