many quaint legends. peculiar to
different countries. I'm certain races
the man in the moon is a being who
on account of great wisdom. says a
writer in the Popular Pictorial. was
transferred to the moon, from which
he was able TO see everything that
occurred. To the Chinese he is Yuc-
tao. who arrangcS all marriages.
Among the old Red Indian tribes the
medicine men received their power
by departing into The middle of a
lake and holding consultation with
the man in the moon.
The German version deals with a
peasant who was rcprimandcd by an
angel for gathering fagots on Sun
Sunday. He replied. Sunday on
earth, or Monday in heaven. it is all
the same 10 'mc." For this he was
sent to an eternal moonday in
heaven.
The earliest English version APP

In France the man in the moon be

informed W. y Rosewarne, his fl

tracts statements in his kilograms OF
mot playing the game, he would re-

pair any damages and get ready to
make another flight attempt as soon
as possible
The inference that he was seeking
"cheap and vulgar publicity" affected
Giles t,aeply. He denied emphaticaliy
that such~Was his intention, and said
that he felt justified in seeking a re-
traction of statements made by Major
E. H. Bowie and T. r. Reed, local
United States weather bureau forecast
ers, branding his foul weather
story as simply impossible"
Giles said that he sent telegram
tonight to the British ambassador at
washington asking that he start ac-
tion through official channels to force
the weather bureau officials at San
Francisco TO retract their remarks
Giles declared Bowie and Reed had
no right to brand him as a liar" when
all they had to judge by were their
weather charts.
Giles said that if Rosewarne does
not rctract his statements the biplane
may be taken to Mexico or Canada for
the new flight attempt toward New
