Wanamaker.
The mother Of the famous French
flier embraced the American airnan
and told him that during his flight
she had prayed for him, just as she
had for her own son in his tragic
adventure.
During those hours when the
America was lost and flying through
the dark and stormy night over
France, said Mime. Nungesser, she had
felt for him the anguish she had
already known when her own son
was lost Just as she had told Col
onel Charles Lindbergh Mime. Nun
gesSer told Commander Byrd that she
still believed her son was alive.
"Aviators have an audacity and
courage" she said, (which puts them
above other men,"
The commander conSoled the moth
er of the lost French ace, telling her
that he,' too, was persuaded that
her son might still be found. He
told her he should have liked per-
sonally to have assisted in the search
for Nungesser and Coli, but that pre-
parations for the Americas flight
had prevented this. Neither he nor
his men aboard the America had
wished to begin their own flight until
everything possible had been done
to find her son.
AS representative of the Nun
gesser- Coli fund committee in the
United States, he informed her that
she soon would receive a check for
$4,000 from that organization. The
aged French woman lifted a picture
of her boy from a nearby table and
gave it to the American commander,
then kissed his cheeks in bidding him
goodbye, thanking him warmly for

time for luncheon at M. Bleriot's.
The man who first flew across the
English channel was host to the
seven American fliers who crossed
the Atlantic by air this summer. A
month ago the first of the seven,
Lindbergh, was similarly his honored
guest. Today, as then, Bleriot had
invited distinguished company to

There were present M. Tardieu, M.
Leyguais, M. BokanoWski, M. Loucher

and Saconney, P. E. Flandin, president
OF the All Club of France, the Amer

French aviators with transatlantic
intentions, Challes and Bossoutrot.
Scarcely month ago. said M.
Bleriot, after dessert had been served,
"have we celebrated here the first
crossing of the Atlantic. The auda-
city of Lindbergh seemed then to
us to put final point to the inn

Rapid TRANSFORMATION

Our industrial life is mainly de-
pendent on the stationary engine
and the dynamo, and there is
enough coal and water power to
keep them going for an indefinite
period.
Industry, however. is impotent
without the necessary raw materials
and ceases to be of value if it can
not express itself in social and cul-
tural improvement.
Putting aside the question of raw
materials, our industrial life has
found its most thrilling and faScin-
ating expression in rapid transit.
The railroad. the steamship, the
automobile and the airplane have
become. essential factors in our eco-
nornic life
While the first two may be re-
garded as of industrial Importance,
the last two find favor because of
the comfort, pleasure and CONVEX
fence they afford.

Lau, and Justice

A man bought a tractor from a local dealer AS a
result of defect in the tractor there acct
dent and he lost an arm He sued the company
which manufactured the tractor, claiming that it
was liable for damages account of its negligence
in selling defective machine The manufacturing
company commended that any claim for damages
should be made against the local dealer from whom
the tractor was purchased, and with whom the con-
tract of sale was made. 1t denied having entered
any agreement with the man concerning the tractor
which would make it liable for damages resulting
from its defective construction

that they can perpetuate that influence by their
own election.
The voters of this State deserve better than
that from the party of Lincoln The memory
of Beveridge, SO lately gone, requires some
thing better than a Stephenson tool in the

In the name of decency, the decent Repub-
Gcans of this State, and that means 95 per
cent of those who vote the ticket, should take
steps to rescue their party from its present
management and place themselves in position
to give the Republicans real Republican

his own sinister ambitions.

KOKOMO IS HAPPY

STRANGE EXPLANATION
anderson Herald)


It was not generally known, until
the statement was issued by Gov
ernor E. jackson, that there were
$4,000 saddle horses still extant IN
Indiana. However, one was sold"
at that price to D. G. Stephenson,
who now is tethered in a box-stall
space in Michigan City, where there
issno opportunity at all to go pranc-
ing about on such costly charger.
Governor Jackson would have us
believe that there was no connec-
ton between the $4,000 paid him by
Stephenson and his primary CAM
paign expenses. In other words, the
Governor wants it understood he is
horse trader, or what have you,
and that $1,000 was fair price.
We would like to know more
about that horse. Did Jackson raise
it from colt and battle it in
Cologne water after currying? Was
manicure employed bi-weekly to
polish the horses hoofs?. Was a
permanent wave put in the fetlock
and was the name marcelled? And
did he feed it rolled oats with a
spoon to make its cost so valuable?
If Jackson didn't raise the horse,
what price did HE pay for it? What
was his. profit on the sale to Ste
phenson? And did Stephenson get
a pair of dianond-studded golden

Mussolini says that our prosperity
is not due to superior brains, but to
superior resources, that we have
been able to outstrip the rest OF the
world in the accumulation OF
wealth because of the raw material
which nature had stored up on this
continent for thousands of years.
His object is to prove that de-
mocracy is not the great and pene-
fetal institutio nwe claim it to be,
but making due allowance for that,
there is a disagreeable amount OF
truth in what he says.
To a measurable extent. we are
living in luxury because we have
fed on a clover patch which we did
not have to plant.
To a measurable extent, we are
indifferent not only to the bless
ing it represents, but to the TACT
that it is steadily disappearing.

RECORDS OF ANCIENT RAIN
STORMS

OftNlo
Raindrops that fell millions of
years ago have left their impressions
in the rocks. This has happened
where the rain fell on a muddy sur
face, after which sand or some other
light material drifted over II and
filled up the little pits made by the
drops. Finally both the mud and
the everything material hardened in
to rock. and today we find fossil
rain drops" which in some cases are
the original pits and in others are
the casts of the material with which
they were filled. The shapes of these
"rain-prints' sometimes show clear
ly the direction from which the
wind was blowing at the time Of
the prehistoric rainstorm.
These fossils give some slight In
dication of the relative raininess OF
different regions in the ermote past,
and of one geological epoch as COM
pared with another
Another sort of rain record, less
ancient though dating back hun
dreds OF years, is found in the am
nual rings of old trees, as revealed
in cross sections of their trunks,
Thick rings are supposed TO have
been formed during periods OF
abundant rainfall and thin rings
when the rainfall was deficient, but
as other things besides rain prob
ably helped determine the thickness
Of the rings, there is some doubt
about how far this kind Of record
can be trusted.

to be such dandy that even kings
think it an honor to call him friend
and present him with their auto
graphed picture. One day Menjou
saw a beautiful girl buying some
white roses on the street and his
heart started a Charleston which
caused him to fall in love with the
beautiful lady whose name in Eliza
beth Foster. OF course this beau
tiful girl did not know that Albert
was head waiter. So when she and
her father go to Switzerland for
the winter sports, Albert snaps his
finger in the face of the hotel man
ager and declares that he will have
vacation or he will resign. So he
got his vacation.
Then he enters upon an intensive
campaign to win the heart and hand
of Miss Foster When you recall
that Menjou is cast as Albert, you
will agree with me that Miss Fos-
ter had right to fall hard for Al
bert. she thinks he is a prince
or something along that line.
Then one fine evening when Al
bert had planted a fine crop of
kisses on the lips Of Miss Foster,
he realizes that he is just a head
waiter. So he rushes back to Paris
and Miss Foster becomes so very
sad. Oh, so sad.
She and her father return to
Paris. And I am telling you that
she sees Albert head waiting. And
believe it or not, she rushes back
into his private Office and says: "Al-
bert, do not care what you are.
I love you"
And then so things will be even
better for Albert, the directors of
the hotel tell you that, they are
going to make Albert manager of
the hotel.
And so you see that Miss Fos-
ter didn't marry a head waiter after
all. And that's the story of Service
for Ladies" as 1 see it.

Menjou does so well. The cafe

What Makes a Gentleman

Margot Asquith, wife of former British prime
minister is sharp-seeing who has penchant
for writing books and saying things in them that get
her into peck of trouble.
The latest sophistry attributed to her ronical wit
is the statement that very few ladies are gentlemen
The implication is that the most refined women
still inclined to cattiness nastness and trivial
meanness that is not noticed in gentlemen.
AS proof of this assertion it might be mentioned
that Margot Asquths remark is one of the cattiest
things ever said
Man. careful of his own soul in the presence of the
female of the species, only lapse into silence
when such issues these brought up for CONVEX
sation in mixed company. He can, however shift the
subject to a discussion of what makes gentleman or
what is gentleman
According to the scholar no man is a gentleman
who can not read Latin and Greek According to the
eastern society debutante, gentleman is nice look
ing boy who went to Harvard, Yale or Princeton and
has at least $4,000 year income.
Christopher Marlowe said that the devil was gen.
tleman. Goldsmith wrote that gentleman was the
chief work Of barber Emerson asserted that repose
and cheerfulness were the badges of a gentleman.
Steele opined that gentleman was generous and
brave Coeridge declared that religion was the
most gentlenanly thing in the world, but one of F.
Scott Fitzgeralds characters that gentleman
must know how to hold his ticker.
Opinions and definitions, it is seen, differ Womess

Like Savages' Faith

AS matter of fact, we have de-
veloped a superstitious faith in
science.
No matter how extravagant or
frivolous we become, we expect
scientists to save us.
1t is the old idea, of raising cain
all through life and repenting at the
eleventh hour, put in a new light.
We look to scientists for. pro-
lection with the same blind faith
tbat savages look TO their gods, and
we believe in the miracles of human
genius just as they believe in the
miracles Of supernatural power.

Others Are Saving

Both the automobile and airplane
are dependent on oil.
Take the oil away, or reduce it to
such an extent that the price would
be beyond the reach of average peo-
pie, and all our achievements
amount to naught.
We are giving little thought to
this all important consideration.
Instead of trying to save our oil
supply by eliminating waste at home
and buying as much as possible
from abroad, we glory in the amount
we consume and the amount we sell.
1t has become a matter of pride
with us that we own four times as
many automobiles as all the rest of
the world and that we are produc-
ing 10 per cent of all the oil, but
we are not concerned over the fact
that this enables other countries to
save their oil, while ours is dimin-
ishing.

Trust to Prodigy

The average American does not
like to hear such things, much less
to think about them.
He refuses to believe that there is
any danger of exhausting his coun-
try's resources. because he has an
abiding faith in the miracles of ge-
MUS.
When the trees are gone, he feels
sure that somebody will discover a
new process of making pulp and
lumber.
When the land has become cterile
he expects the chemist to produce
vegetables, fruit, butter and eggs in
the laboratory.
Before the oil well has run out of
gasoline has reached so cents a
gallon, he is confident that some
prodigy will have invented a new
fuel for his f1ivver.
