Nancy Sandoslxy Speaks
to the Cleveland East
High School Students

CLEVELAND, May 81. - The eco
Monies class at East High School
heard the truth about conditions in
Passaic when Nancy S>ndosky, youth
full leader Of the Passaic strikers, talk
cd to them in their own class room on
this subject.
Altho it had been the policy of the
teacher either to evade the question
of the strike or sl1illfully squirm out
of answering questions about it, San
dosky managed to get the truth across.
She told of the experiences Of the
strikers delegation to the White
House and to the house of the New
Jersey senator in Washington, and
how the president refused to see the
strikers, and the senator showed plain
ly that he was not going to take the
side Of the textile workers against
the bosses OF the New Jersey mills
Then she told of the clubbings of
women and children in the strike
areas, of the starvation and cold that
the strikers have suffered since the
strike began.
"If II were not for the international
Workers Aid" she said, "the strikers
would have had no help at all, but
they came lin and opened soup kit
chens and distributed clothing to help
us along so that we would win the
strike"
The students who heard this talk
heard the truth probably for the first
time. Even the teacher had very lit
tie TO say, for he had against him this
time two fighters, one q member Of
the Young Workers (Communist)
League. who made the proposition
that Nancy sandosky speak. and
Nancy sandosky who knows far more
about the real side OF economics than
the teacher ever imagined.

BYRD PLANE is LANDED.
Braves Heavy Ice FlOes to Reach
Shore With Big Craft.
BY RUSSELL ID. OWEN.

By Wireless to The Star.
KINGS BAY. Spitzbergen. May l.
Comdr. Byrd's airplane has been land
ed safely ashore after hazardous
trip through the ice foes, against the
advice of everybody aboard, including
the ice pilots, who feared the small
boats would be crushed. Comdr. Byrd,
determined to take advantage of a
beautiful day, forced his way to the
white shore of SpitZbergen, from
which his plane will rise for dash
to the Pole.
Comdr. Byrd stood in the PROV of
the pontoon carrying the plane during
the trip ashore. directing the rowers
on each side like the crew of a Ro-
man galley, or an old ship of the Vi
kings. Isak Isaksen, ice pilot, christ.
ened the viking" stood at the bow,
showing huge cakes of ice aside with
thrusts of his powerful arms.
Those not needed for rowing Tended
the ice off with boat hooks. and slow
ly and steadily the pontoon was
forced through the white fields of ice
blocks, many to s feet high.
Crew Cheers Event.
81 felt like Washington crossing the
Delaware" said Byrd, laughing. There
pontoon reached the icy edge Of the
shore. The crew of the Norwegian
ship, Heimdal, gave a rousing cheer
at the successful daring as the plane,
like a blue and yellow bird, moved
through the ice.
Word quickly spread to the village
that Byrd was coming ashore, and
the men and women on skis raced to
the water, workmen leaving their jobs
TO see the fascinating sight. The
Americans heaved a sigh Of relief
when the shore was reached and a
rope lashed the pontoon securely.
Beams were thrown ashore from the
pontoon, with hatch covers spiked to
them, making a runway up the snow.
A rope was thrown about the landing
gear and men on each side of the
fuselade, with a shout, ran the boat
and plane quickly up the bank and the
plane, named Josephine Ford, settled
its wheels into the snow as If to
anchor herself to the solid ground.
The tail Of the fuselade was still on
the pontoon, dropping with the tide.
so the giant plane was lacked up and
skis put under her to run her safely
away from the shore.
Villagers Admire Americans.
Comdr. Byrd was happy and patted
the mems shoulders and thanked them
for their efforts.
Work was Immediately begun to
get the motors ashore and Installed
in the plane. The Americans sue
cess in overcoming conditions they
were not familiar with aroused the
admiration of the villagers.
The actual presence OF the plane
ashore makes the situation take the
character of race between Byrd
and Amundsen, although Amundsen
smilingly says there is no possible
conflict between them and 1t doesn't
matter which is first. But there is

PARIS, May 1.-Even wrong
numbers of Paris telephones cost
money since the rates were in
creased, and in big hotels it is just
AS expensive to get a wrong num-
ber as the right one.
The new rates have done away
with all free telephoning, or even
reduced rates for customers in
cafes and restaurants, most OF
which carry a sign warming reg
ular customers that all former ar
rangements are ended.
Distracted Parisians feel that
paying the same sum to talk to

COOLIDGE PRAISES
SCOUT MOVEMENT
Declares Organization Goes
Far Toward Training Boys
in Public Duty.

Parents are to be comNended for
teaching their children the doctrine
of self.reliance, as exemplified in the
Boy Scout movement. but they must
not forget that there can be no sub
stitute for the influences of the home
and religion, President Coolidge an
nounced last night at the closing ses-
sion in d. A. ". Hall Of the annual
convention Of the Boy Scouts of
America.
The. scouting movement, the Presi-
dent explained, is not a substitute for
these influences, but an ally to them.
Strict parental control. he said, to-
gether with family life under religious
influences, is foremost in Importance.
Mr.. Coolidge, as honorary president
of the Scout organization. and Sir
Robert Baden-Powell, "Chief Scout OF
the World were the principal speak
ers at the concluding session, which
was attended by about 1000 delegates.
Says Parents Must Rule.
Parents cannot shift their re.
sponsibility." the President declared
IF they fail to exercise proper con
troll, nobody else can do 1t for them.
Reminding his audience that much
talk is heard of "the decline in the
influence of religion, of the loosenins
Of the home ties. of the lack of disci
pline-all tending to break dowr
reverence and respect for the laws oi
God and man." Mr.. Coolidge contin
ued:
Such thought as l have been able
to give to the subject and such OBJ
servations as have come within my
experience have convinced me thai
there is no substitute for the infiu
ences of the home and Of religion
These take hold of the innermos
nature of the individual and play g
very dominant part in the formation
of personality and character.
This most necessary and most val
Iable service has to be performed by
The parents, or it is not performed at
all. It is the root of the family life.
Nothing else can ever take its place
These duties can be performed by
foster parents with partial success
but any attempt on the part of the
government to function in these di
rections breaks down almost en-
tirely.
Praises Scout Movement.
"The more have studied this

yanization and principles, the more
{ have been impressed. Not only is ii
based in the fundamental rules OF

and social life of mankind. 1t is a
