Descended From
a Notorious
Fellow

Virginia Morgan of "Playing
the Game" the Bruce Reynolds
drama at the Belasco Theater next
week has the unique distinction
of being a direct descendant of
Sir Henry Morgan, who sailed the

teenth century and from his
pirate nest in the West Indies
went forth to attack Panama,
then one of the richest cities in
the western world. His deeds of
daring are said to excel in every
way those of his competitors on
the open sea and treasure which
he buried when he was finally
rounded up and captured Is still
resting off the coast of Panama.
1t was Henry Morgan who be-
gan life as a cabin boy. who in
vented the phrase "the fewer our
numbers. the greater our booty"
and who is reported to have cru
Gifted his own men when they
muttered against him and to have
buried his prisoners alive. Miss
Morgan is not the least ashamed
lof his notorious ancestor, but
rather proud of him. not on ac.
count of his. deeds of crime. but
because he was not afraid to
tackle seemingly impossible diff
culties and in spite of everything
against him managed to become
a knight of the British crown
and governor Of Panama.

The distance to Constantinople Il
500 miles.
Schlee and Brock adhered to the
meticulous punctuality that has
characterized their epochaI flight
thus far from Harbor Grace, New.
foundland. They arose early, made
the twelve.mile trip from this city
to the airfie1d In the company Of
municipal officials, and supervised
the refueling Of the Pride Of De-
troit" and a final inspection Of Its
engine.
Held Up By Weather
Brock and Schlee arrived here at
11:45 o'clock yesterday morning
from Munich, Germany. They had
originally planned to proceed direct
ly to Constantincple, but reports Of
adverse weather conditions near
Sofia caused them to stop here.
The weather bureau warned that
the storm would continue through.
out the afternoon, so the round-the.
world fliers decided to lay over until
today.
During their stay in this city,.
the fliers were guests of the
American Legation. and last night
attended q banquet given in their
honor by the Jugoslav Aero Club.
The Detroit airmen said they
were intensely disappointed over
the delay. but expressed the be-
lief they would be able to make
up for lost time within the next
two or three days.
Brock and Schlee are out to
break the present record of 28H
days for a trip around the world.
A gnawing appetite saved Schlee
and Brock from possible disaster in
the Sofia storm. they revealed be-
fore leaving here. Even though
they had considered breaking the
] ,0O0-mile flight by a brief stop at
Belgrade, they hoped to fly straight
through to Constantinople.
However, the calls Of hunger had
to be needed, and the Detroit air.
men headed the pride Of Detroit"
toward the Bezaniga Field. They
lunched heartily and returned to
the airdrome less than an hour
after they had landed, in the hope
cf starting Immediately for the
Turkish capital.
Warning Delivered
Shortly after they had arrived
on the field, however, a courier de-
livered warning from the war de.
partment that storms of nearly
cyclonic proportions were raging in
central Bulgaria. After discussing
the inadvisability of flying on in
the face Of such a report, they
asked that the pride of Detroit
be placed in a hangar, and settled
down for an overnight stay in Bel
grade.
Hundreds Of persons, including a
number Of American citizens and
members OF the Jugoslav aero club
were on hand when the plane again
took off for Constantinople today.

In hurrying to answer an accident

to his hand. 1t was fur coat, well
suited to the chilly blasts outside.

the doctor was treating the injured

glances of bystanders. He looked
closer at the coat he was wearing. It
was wOman's coat of muskrat fur

On it's shoulder was a red flower.

Garage Important

An automobile and house are more
closely related today than ever before.
Statistics from all over the country
Indicate that wherever there is, set
Element of homes, particularly in the
outlying sections beyond our cities, q
correspondingly large number of auto
mobile owners will be found. When a
man builds home in a location that
is not in line with. transportation
facilities, he turns to- an automobile
for his transportation.
An actual survey reveals that nearly
every house now erected boasts of a
garage. In many cases the garage is
an essential that determines the pur-
chase of a house. Were it not for
automobiles the various outlying COM
munities would be drawn more closely
to the boundary lines Of our cities,
and they would follow only the main
arteries of transportation. The auto
mobile, therefore. is responsible for
the many beautiful developments that
may be found miles beyond the eenters

School Grounds Shosu
Spirit of Community

Identification of school grounds is
important from several standpoints.
Primarily, to- the average citizen the
neighborhood! schoolhOuse represents
organized government. It is the one
outstanding example to- him that his
tax dollar is being spent in part at
least for his benefit. A beautiful build
ing. well equipped and placed in artfs-
tic surroundings, makes him feel that
his taxes have been. expended wisely.
II the building, on grounds are not up
to par, however, he cannot help but
begrudge the tax. assessment.
Furthermore; aside from the health
standpoint. it Is, important that the
child, attending school during the
years in which character is being
formed. be surrounded to, as great o
degree as possible with beauty. Squat
idness of any sort invariably leaves
an evil effect. Beautiful school
grounds ON the other hand not only
influence the. development of an es-
thetic sense, but also, reap their own
reward in increased interest In the
school.
