Taking Aviation's Pulse

One weeks aviation news now shows more flying
progress than could be noted in several months
reports before Lindbergh flew to Paris Listing
justa few of the recent developments gives an in
dication Of the tremendous progress that is being
made.
The endowed Guggenheim Fund for the promo
ton of aeronautics has announced that it is ready
to give equipment loans for the operation Of pas
scnijer lines in the United States. It was through
equipment loans that many railroads and street
railway companies were carried over hard times,
and the application Of this principle Of railroad
fin&tcing to flying is . healthy sign.
The government has announced that it is soon

And 50 they come in an endless
parade. Few arrive with more than
500 in their jeans, few leave with
out the tears of mother upon their
shoulders. Manhattan scarcely knows
they have arrived. But for certain
statisticians who turn these struR-
glings into cold figures there would
be no way Of knowing.
just now, the best of statisticians
say that the task of getting along
in New York is harder than ever
before. "The ill-equipped and broken
of-purse are clogging the avenues
OF opportunity as never before in the

comes with little money, good
stout heart and the willingness to do
anything, there are still few foot
holds. But the climb is long and
often heartbreaking."

BY DIX. MORRIS FISHBElN

Medical Association and of Hygeia,

In a consideration of electric shock
observed in industry in Chicago, Dr..
II. E. Fisher says that many accidents
occur between 9 and II a. IN. and be-
tween 2 and 3 p. III.
In the first period he believes
digestion is at its height and is
accompanied by drowsiness; in the
afternoon period fatigue is probably
somewhat stronger than It other
times. More cases of electric shock
occur in the sur'-'er time, with July
as the month of greatest finuency.
This is attributed to the 1SSt that
heat and excessive perspiratjoh make
the body surfaces susceptible to more
positive contact. Workmen therefore
receive much greater forc0rofs cur
rent. The same is true Of workmen
with wet clothing.
According to DR.. Fisher the things
that determine the severity Of cleo
trio shock are the nature of the cur
rent, w.~..c. direct or alternating:
the strength Of the current, amper-
ape, voltage; ground connections; the
season Of the year; the weather.
whether wet or dry, clear or rainy;
the length Of tive the person may be
in contact with the rail, wire or
other source Of electricity; indirect
injuries resulting from the fall; the
general state Of the persons health;
the portion Of the body in contact
with the conductor of electricity: the
extent of the surface involved, and
the fear element.
An investigation of the sensations
felt by persons who have suddenly
been shocked brings out the infUrma-
ton that the person first feels a SEN
sation of extreme blows over TIE en-.
tire body. The muscles contract
strongly, drawing themselves INTO
knots. There is also apparently the
feelinggpf review of all ones past
life IT. the space of few seconds,
similar to the feeling that is sup
posed to come with drowning.
Observations made by physicians
who have been present at the cleo
trocuti0n Of criminals show that the
temperature rises at the point of
contact as high as the heat neces-
sary to melt steel. Obviously q tenn
perature Of this kind in itself is suf-
ficient to cause paralysis of the heat
centers Of the brain with resultant
death. s.,. 81

HONOLULU DRY
LEADER CHARGED
WITH GRATING
by United Press Leased Wire

HONOLULU, Feb. 15.-The pic
ture of John T. Barrett, prohibition
administrator for the Hawaiian Is
lands, soaking his cigars in native
liquors and then smoking them at
y. w. c. A. parties was drawn to-
day by George f. Bruins, suspended
assistant administrator in a letter
to General Lincoln C. Andrews, ma
tional dry chief.
Bruins charged that Barrett Con-
fiscatcd rum and okelehao, the lat
ter n potent Hawaiian iibation
made from ri roots, and dropped
his cigars into the liquor. Then
when the tobacco had absorbed the
flavor, Barrett would remove the
cigars, dry them out and blandly
inhale while enjoying entertain
mcnts at the Y. w. C. A., according
to accusations.
Bruins also charged that he had
seen Barrett's automobile parked
outside the Y. w. c. A. home,
Fcrncrest,' almost all night.
Attempts TO enforce prohibition
in the Hawaiians are "farcial, -
according to Bruins, who said that
Barrett refused to reveal to him
and other deputies the location of
speak easies, but instead kept them
secret so he would be assured of
rum soaked cigars.
In ousting Bruins and asking the
resignation of other deputies, Bar
rctt charged that they raided iso'
lated stills and ignored the liquor
traffic in Honolulu proper.

Court Decides She May
Go Back to House She
Left Under Threat.

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 10 Lita
Grey Chaplin may again occupy the
home Of her estranged husband,
Charlie Chaplin, which she left un-
der alleged threats Of death, Judge
Walter Guerin ruled here today.
In making the decision Judge
Guern ordered that the temporary
alimony be reduced from $4,000 to
$4,000, the reduction being made to
provide for the rent of the Beverly
Hills mansion of the comedian.
Extremely chic in blue ensem-
BILE suit, smart close fitting hat and
pearl gray fur trimmed coat, the
young wife mounted the stand and
began her recital of events that
transpircd on the night of Novem-
Der 20, which resulted in the separa-
tiOn.
The testimony was offered in
connection with her plea that she be
permitted to again occupy the Bev-
erlv Hills mansion Of the comedian,
pending the outcome of her divorce
suit.
While the courtroom of specta-
tors, who had braved q downpour to
get glimpse of her, listened eur
iously, Mrs. ChapA,l began her re-
cital.
THAT night brought guests
home with me. Charlie, whom, l
did not know was home, came to the
stairs and yelled get that wild
bunch out of here. Get them out
quick. What do you think this is!'
the young wife testified.

Charlie called me into his room. He
picked up n revolver and said: i ii

CAUSES RIPPLE
AT WASHINGTON
Capital Residents Recall
Her Efforts to Obtain
Audience 6 Years Ago
By JOHN MONTGOMERY
United Press Staff CORRESPONDENT

WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-Aimee
Semple Mcpherson returned tc
Washington today, a far more i'm
portant parsonage than the intense
evangelist who, six years ago, tried
to "crash the white house gate''
and introduce President Harding to
her Messiah"
The Messiah' was Aimee's as
sistant, a middle aged evangelist,
with a pointed beard who resembled
somewhat the paintings of Christ,
and who preached on those nights
when Aimee was resting.
White house attaches and secret
service men remembered Aimee as
a personable woman who made sew
eral attempts to have an interview
with President Harding in 1922 and
deliver a religious message
She met with no success, fol
those persons who ask to see the
president without introduction arc
summarily turned over to the secret
service for examination.
This occurred on her first visit
to the white house while she wa:
conducting revival services at ons
of Washington's churches. s The
secret service pointed out the mac
feasibility Of the president and ask
ed her to put her message in writ
ing.
She went away only slightly mol.
lifted, returning the next day with
her assistant, Merengio. She then
explained her mission. She wanted
Harding to meet Merengio. She
said she intended to introduce Me-
rengio to the world as a "new
Messiah -
The secret service again denied
her an audience and he went away
announcing she "would make Me-
rengio a new Messiah, anyway"
Somehow, the idea didn't take hold
here, although great number of
Washingtonians still believe Meren'
gio had supernatural gifts.

CONNEAUT, Ohio, Feb. ia
16-yearold boy today confessed, po-
lice announced, to the brutal mur-
der of Mrs. Celia Brown and her
five-yearold son.
The boy, Floyd Hewitt, who lived
across the street from the Brown
home, admitted IN the alleged con
fession that he beat the woman t.
death with cub and then killed
her son.
H. y. Uannum, county detective,
fession after he had questioned
Hewitt for more than three hours.
The double murder was commit
ted, according to the statement,
when Mrs. Brown, who was 81 years
old, repulsed the advances of the
boy. Angered, he attacked her
with q baseball bat and in his fury
beat her to death.
JAMAICA, n. Y, Feb. ia 12-
year-old boy, looking little
frightened, faced Judge Samuel d.
Levy in the children's court here
today.
His demeanor pathetically like
that of a small boy called before

bean shooter or breaking a window,
Michael Ponraskow heard himself
charged with shooting a store keep
er to death in an attempt to rob
him.
His eyes were a little red from
weeping but he was quiet and sui
len-almost, it seemed defiant-as
he faced the judge.
In the story Michael told police
and court attendants, he indicated,
although he could not express it in
exact words, that his "case' was
directly due to a revolt against re-
striction. Michael is a rebel. His
father told police he had always
been strong willed and hard to man

He ended his revolt last night by
entering the store of Marcus Gold in
Richmond Hill and shooting Gold to
death.
Although at first he mumbled he
"didn It mean to do it, subsequent
questioning made it appear he had
pulled the trigger deliberately.
