WHY LEVINE DIDN'T

Pilot and Passenger Dispute About Directions and Latter Took place
 At Controls, Chambcrlin Says.

New Haven, Nov. 4.7(P)-The inside story" of why the monoplane Columbia failed to reach Berlin on its transatlantic flight is out. It was told here last night by Clarence D. Chamberlin. who piloted the ma chine when he told the story of the hop before the union league club.
 The inside story of why we didn't get to Berlin, said Chamberlln Twas that MT. Levine and I had different opinions as to the right direction toward that city.
 Passing over small town, we went low over a flying field and asked those gathered there the way to Berlin, not knowing ourselves, and we had forgotten to bring a map Of Germany in our nasty departure.
 They all pointed in the same gen. eral direction in response to our signals but MT. Levine and I dis

COAST GUARDSMEN
 IN THRILLING JOB
Constantly Matching Wits With
 Rum Runners

Fort Lauderdale, Fla, Nov. 4 LPi- One thrilling adventure after anoth- CT, rivalling those of days when pi- rate ships sailed the high seas and buccaneers compelled their prisoners to walk the plank, makes up the life of coast guardsmen battling rum runners in Florida waters.
 Prices have been put upon the heads of several guardsmen, Of ficers declare, as the struggle to halt the smuggling of liquor be- comes more acute. Winters icy winds in the north are turning the bows of many runners southward, resulting in increased activity along the Florida coast.
 When a slim, speedy government chaser, armed with one-pounders, closes in on the boat filled with it. legal cargo, the officers seldom know whether the crew will sur render, abandon the vessel or choose to fight it out.''
 There was, for example, the re- cent battle about 30 miles off Fort Lauderdale in which three officers were killed and a fourth wounded when Coast Guard Boat No. 249 captured rum runner.
 The 249 was on Its way to Mas sau, in the Bahamas, carrying Rob- ort K. Webster, secret service oper- ative. to trace counterfeit $50 bills used in rum transactions, when it spotted and closed in on the rum boat and captured Horace Alder man and Robert E. Weech.
 While officers transferred the car go, Sidney Sanderlin. boatswain, sought to get in touch by radio with the Fort Lauderdale base. Sud- denly, the account goes. Alderman fired down the hatch and killed Sanderlin. Victor A. Lamby, motor machinist, rushed to aid the fallen man and was mortally wounded by q bullet through his spine.
 Alderman grabbed Lamby's gun, gave it to Weech and ordered the ether six government men to line up.'
 Move the whiskey back to our boat" he instructed Weech, "and then go below and set this govern ment boat on fire"
 As Weech went into the hold Webster jumped for Alderman. He was killed instantly with a bullet through his head. Jodie L. Hol- lingsworth. following the secret service man, was wounded through the eye and nose. But it was the break" and the rest of the small crew rushed upon Alderman and Weech and overpowered them, and brought them to port They now await trial at Jacksonville for first degree murder.
 Closely allied with rum running is the smuggling of aliens and mar cotics. An affidavit in government possession tells how a rum boat took 27 aliens from Cuba to an island off Florida, only to return in a few days to rob them of all they had. Other stories tell of aliens paying the smuggling fees, being taken aboard, and being set adrift at sea or drowned.

 Operated under the American principle of individual initiative, and directed by personnel of tested integrity and public-mind- edness, these companies have so definitely identified themselves with the interest of the public, that the structure of Americas prosperity and progress rests to large degree upon their service. Americas unequalled level of con- fort and prosperity, made possible through cheap, abundant power, developed under the American principle of individual initiative, is the best of reasons why that prin- ciple should be preserved and per petuated.

Strange People.

(Hastings, Ncb., Tribune)
 For five months of the year the entire male membership from the weaned infants to tho oldest patriarch of the Eskimo tribe inhabitine Nunivak Island off the coast of Alaska, keel bachelor quarters in isolation from the women The live together in the kazhe, semi-sun terreanean ceremonial lodge, diring this period The women cook for them bringing the food to the lodge, where it is eaten.
 According to Smithsonian ethnologist who has just returned from an expedition to Alaska this separation of the sexes is considered by the Eskimo to be necessary to insure good catch of seals The expedition was in cooperation with the American Association for the Advance ment of Science and the American Council of Learned Societies.
 The Nunivak Islanders. numbering ITO souls in all, represent one of the most conservative Eskimo groups left This is due to their isola- ltion Though their island measures seventy by forty miles, it is so barren as to have little at traction for white men. The Bureau or Educa- ton maintains teacher and his Vile on the island but previous to the arrival of the Smith sonan expedition they had had no visit. from a boat in two years. The only other representa- lives of the outside world is an Eskimo trader at another village thirty miles away
 The lives of the islanders revolve around the seal on which they are largely dependent for food clothing and light. In consequence, the seal is looked upon with the profoundest respect The ethnologist reports finding seal-bones buried with more care than some of the human femaihs The five months of isolation mentioned aDove IS concluded with feast at which the bladders of all seals caught during the year are thrown back into the to propitate the seal tribe Numberous taboos regulate the hunting sknnne and general handling of the animal So little is known of Nunvak Island, says the ethnologist that it's shores are not even charted He is inclined to believe that 1t has not been I inhabited for more than few hundred years He found no burials or other evidences of ancient men, though some kitchen middens on the main land seemed fairly old.

ATTACKS ON RELIGION.

President John Grer Hbben of
 Princeton University in recent com
 memorative service at the Warwick
 Church. Hartsvile. Pa sounded the
 keynote of call for united Christian
 action against modern writers and pub
 fishers who are conducting warfare
 of moekery and dersion against religion,
 morality and good government. As ev-
 eryone knows Christianity has been sub
 jected to undue criticism and misrep-
 resentation from many sources. Books
 attacking Christianity have been issued
 in increasing numbers. and all denom
 nations have been the target of these
 malevoent assaults on the faith.
 President Hibben suggested that it is
 about time Christian America woke up
 and took steps to check the flood of
 infde literature. which. he declares,
 is causing widespread deterioration. Most
 of our readers will agree that some def
 mite action should be taken. but just
 how it may be organized and carried
 out is a problem that calls for study.
 Mere denunciation from. pulpit or plat
 form will not produce Nhe desired ef-
 feet. nor will appeals to publishers
 writer's It is a situation which arises
 in part from the lack of religious
 education in our country and renders
 it imperative for the church to place
 greater emphasis on it's teaching func-
 on.--tChristan Herald)
 One would think that it would be apparent so capable an editorial board as that which di rects the Christian Herald that the great nee of Christianity in America at this time is fo the churches to regain the public eonhdenc which they have lost. and that the first ste toward this is to compel the retirement of man of the churches from politics. As long as grea churches permit the Dr. Clarence True Wilson's Wayne Wheelers Dr. McBrides and other hig salaried and loud mouthed dispensers of politics corruption funds and prevarication to speak their names they will continue to lack the cor fidence of the public. If the churches would hay the people scoff less at organized Chr' fianity they should silence the believing bull among the clergy who have shown lack confidence in their faith by substituting polite; mach nations and statutes for preaching tn gospel and teaching the religion of the Lord
