Lindbergh Spends Last Mo-

Those of Own Realm.

Col. Charles A. Lindbergh gave
his last moments in Washington to-
day, from the time he awakened at
the temporary White House until he
winged his way to New York in a
speedy Army pursuit plane at the
head of a 26-plane escort, to avi-
ators and people of Washington
closely identified with aeronautics.
He was the guest at a breakfast
rendered in his honor by 500 'air
people" at the Mayfiower Hotel.
which began shortly after $50
o'clock and lasted about half an hour.
From the balconies surrounding the
big banquet hall about 200 persons,
unable to get a seat, gazed down on
the young airman as he, with more
composure than many of his hosts.
ate a comparatively hearty meal.
Just before he took his hasty de-
parture for Boiling Field to fly to
New York in what he then thought
would be the Spirit of st. Louis, but
which was held to the ground by
a frozen cam follower, he received
the Hubbard Medal, highest award
Of the National Geographic Society,
and an honorary membership in the
National AerOnautic Association, un-
der whose auspices the breakfast was
rendered. Col. Lindbergh, however.
was member in good standing

PROSPERITY BASE
Is Well Paid Workers, Says
Miners Editor

Indianapolis. 1.-THE American work
man is efficient when his wages make
it worth while to be efficient" says
Ellis Searles, editor of the United
Mine Workers Journal, in discussing
statement by the New York Trust
Company that the tremendous in
crease in business is due to high
wages.
Cutting down the buying power of
the miner-or any other class Of la
bor-shuts off that much prosperity"
says the labor editor. Restricting
prosperity is decreasing factory
production and the corresponding use
Of coal. Thus the vicious circle is
complete; the innocent suffer, eco
nomically, with the guilty.
"When the miners refused to be de-
flated at the end of the war great
cry went up that the union was not
patriotic and that it was inimical to
the best interest Of the country. Fol-
owing this stand there was some re-
action from the crowd that can not
see prosperity unless workers suffer
a wage cut. Some industries were
forced to increase wages, and it was
finally demonstrated that greater pro-
duction and more efficiency would not
only hold costs down, but that wages
would be increased. Workers, with an
adequate wage, were enabled to pro-
duce more in the same time"

A.-The custom of requiring a be-

acted that no person should work at
any trade without serving an appren-
ticeship of seven years.

The bin in the Legislature which
has for its object more care in the
issuance Of marriage licenses has
been favorably reported in the
House. Under this bin five days
would have to elapso between apph-
cation for marriage license and
the issuance thereof, except a pro
hate Judge in writing would direct
an immediate issuance Of the Il
cense.
The object of this bill is not quite
clear, except that it might tend to
prevent hasty marriages. These are
quite few compared with the large
number that are entered into with
the usual leisure.
The immediate effect would be
the winding Of little more red
tape In the procuring OF marriage Ii
censes. It would require Two trips TO
the town or city clerk instead Of
one. and how tashful SWANS and
the girls usually hate TO make even
one such trip. However, the bill
isn't passed yet and probably won't
get that far.
