Editorial Comment
Aviation's Progress
(St. Paul Daily News)

(St. Paul Daily NeWS)
Germany has developed commercial flying to
higher point than any nation. This is dem
onstrated by the type Of passengers who were
riding in the airplane that fell last Friday.
Ambassadors, bankers and railroad direc-
tors do not take conveyances that are consid-
cred unsafe.
That, more than anything else is the out
standing feature of the fatal crash which re-
suited in the death of Baron Won Nathan, the
popular and able German ambassador to the
United States.
In spite of such tragedies and in spite of the
many more tragedies that occur in connection
with useless stunts, commercial flying is
steadily progressing.
Assistant Secretary of Commerce McCracken
said in st. Paul the other day that the mail air.
ways now open or soon to be opened in this
country cover more than 1000 miles and that
"a lines are carrying mail, four of which are
equipped to carry passengers.
During the first half Of this year American
pilots flew more than 100000 miles. This
does not include test flights, races and stunts.
Commercial flying not only in America, but
in most other countries, has not only become
lmpressively free from accidents, but is grow
ing freer all the while.
The shocking effect of The German accident
consists mainly in the fact that it is one among
very few.

This Judge Has Mercy

Grandma and Grandpa Hancy came to court
in Cleveland the other day, praying a divorce.
After forty-four years of married life, years
in which they had seen their offspring bring
into the world third generation, things had
gone fearfully wrong with Grandma and Grand
pa Hancy and they wanted to walk the rest Of
the trail apart.
Grandfather Hancy had not provided for her
adequately, and he used rough language and
nagged her. Grandma complained. Grandpa
countered with the charge that Grandma re-
fused to get his meals, that she went out nights
without saying where she was going and that
she once threatened him with butcher knife.
We know judges who would have heard the
evidence, pondered it and perhaps granted the
old couple divorce. We know judges whose
balance between tragedy and humor isn't one
bit better than that. But this judge hap
pened to have what many lack-a sense of
kindly humor and quick feeling Of sympathy
He called an extra session of court and called
in the Hancys-all of them-Grandma and
Grandpa and the nine children they reared on
Grandpa's meager wage.
They've both put up with lot-Grandma
and Grandpa. There have been days. we'll bet
when that old man was so crochety that den
Of tigers would have fled from him. We don't
doubt bit, either, that Grandma had her lit
tie moments of fire. Maybe she did tell the
old fellow that she'd slap him with butcher
knife If he didn't mind his business and quit
shouting at her.
There are times when pride wells right up
and won't let US go on. That's all it is after
all-prde, our refusal to bend little, our un-
willingness to let anyone else get the better
of u.s."
Probably both Grandma and Grandpa swa.
lowed their pride so often that they finally re-
belled at the diet. 1t got too steady. Why
put up with it any longer, especially when it's
so easy to get divorce? So off to court.
With all the children there in that quiet lit
tie room, and the Judge, however, their pride
didn't seem so much after all. The little trou-
bles that brought them there seemed more trv-
ial, even more humorous, as the telling Of them
continued. Finally, we'll venture, a little flush
of shame came over both Grandpa and Grand
ma Hancy, and we'll bet they wished they were
out Of there and at home on the front porch,
watching the world pass.
The Judge who refused their divorce and ar
ranged a little family conference to iron out
the troubles was a wise judge. More than
that he was merciful.
Let Grandma and Grandpa Hancy walk the
rest of the way together. We wish them a
happy golden wedding day.

The year is on the wane but we are not in
consolable at its passing. It has been good
year, year we'll spent by the human race a
year OF worthy and gratifying achievements.
In the ceaseless struggle for supremacy new
champions have clambered up the peaks of
fame. The feats of Gentleman Gene Tunney
are fresh in memory, but Gene is only one SUI
perman among many who claim our attention.
Behold our heroes:
The man who ate thirty-four eggs at sit
ting
The man who drank nineteen cups of coffee.
The man who sat ten days on flagpole.
The man who held his breath three minutes.
The man who weighs 430 pounds.
The man who engraved seventy words on
pinhead.
The man who drank bootleg liquor and lived
Genuine heroes are they all, and they have
their reward. All Of them, except the last,
were inpelled to do what they did from the
love Of admiration, and with this the people
have generously crowned them. Not only are
we proud to shake the hand that shook the
hand Of John L. Sullivan. Thousands of us
everywhere are proud and eager to shake the
hand Of the man whose heart is on the right
side and who has six toes on his left foot
We need not despair Of the country SO long
as this race for distinction, and this universal
approval Of it, continue. We are a great peo-
pie. We're certainly going somewhere. And
when we arrive, if we are lucky..-very lucky
we may know where we are.

Welcome TO the Third Battalion

Bismarck and the Missouri Slope country
extend most sincere and cordial welcome to
the Third Battalion, Fourth Infantry.
II is this city's privilege to be host to the
troops who are garrisoning Fort Lincoln, not
only today and tomorrow, but for as long a
time as they may be stationed here, and BIS
marck assures the soldiers that it's citizens
want to do anything within their power to make
their stay here pleasant and enjoyable.
70 a military post filled with memories Of
heroic deeds, the soldiers have come Just j
few miles away from the post, at old Fort Lin
coin, Custer took his departure for the Black
Hills, where he discovered the gold that
brought an influx of settlers into southern Da-
kota territory. A few years later, it was at
Fort Lincoln that Custer and his command
bravely started out on that long journey from
which they never returned-to the Little Big
Horn country OF Montana.
On the site of the present post, General Sib.
ley fought one of his major battles against the
Sioux in the '60s. There it was that the first
settlers set up their homes and the first impor-
tant settlement between Montana and the Red
River valley was started.
The history of Bismarck and the Missouri
Slope country are entwined with the history of
Fort Lincoln. Before the settlers came, the
army was here, and the soldiers saw Bismarck
grow from a struggling town on the frontier
to the metropolitan center of the Missouri
Slope.
Bismarck knows the glorious history of the
Fourth Infantry and admires it for it's splendid
record extending from 1911 to the present
time It knows that wherever important en-
gagements have been fought, the Fourth In
, fantry has been present and has acquitted it.

not be ended in a day or two. Instead, il
will always be present. There will always b.

USE DOGS IN WAR ON SNUG.
GLERS

Paris.-As a result Of the tobacco
smuggling activities along the
Franco Belgian frontier, dogs are
carrying on the war between Off
Gals and law-breakers.
In Belgium, where there is no
state control, q pound Of tobacco can
be bought for about 20 cents. But
in France, the state monopoly has
pushed the price up to $1.20, leaving
81 pound profit for the snuggler
who can get his contraband across
the border.
Most Of the smugglers have care
fully trained dogs which they take
into Belgium. At night, they strap
few pounds Of tobacco on each
dogs back and tell them to 60 home.
Customs officials, to combat this
practice, have trained days to catch
these law-breakers. The animals al
ways battle to the death, the SNUG
glers often winning the fight be-
cause they are equipped with spiked
armOr.

Life Isn't ANY Worry to Him

Near Poplar Bluff, Mo-, lives Uncle Ben
Hodge, The other day he celebrated his 18th
birthday without pomp and ceremony, but with
the simple announcement that he was lip.
Uncle Ben has neighbors who will not believe
he is that old. With these Uncle Ben has no
quarrel-let each man think what he wishes.
Uncle Ben, complacent, alone, honest and hap
ply, knows how old he is, and that's that If
the rest of the world claims Uncle Ben ism:
112 and Ben says he is, we'll, Ben wins.
Uncle Ben is remarkable man. When re-
porters asked him for recipe of long life he
replied that he hadn't any. He has lived past
the century mark actually without any pur-
pose in reaching it. He'll tell you himself he
didn't aim to be 1O0"
This man has no fear of death. For him it
will simply be "the end of the game" as he
says, and there'll be no more fuss about that
than there was about his 10TH birthday.
Death is a matter simply beyond his control,
and that is the way he has looked at life too,
without fear, without worry.
It was reported once that Uncle Ben was heir
to q fortune somewhere in England Well,
maybe so. 1t didn't bother Uncle Ben, not even
when the reports came thick and fast and peo-
pie wondered why that old man didn't 90 and
claim all that money" If the fortune is there,
it can stay there, for all Of Uncle Ben He'll
stay here. He'll stay right here in these beau.

kind enjoys. He'll live his life, and you 90 on

Uncle Ben has learned how to grow very

90 IL Paris go

Paris, France, Oct. 11.-So
started out to see Paris. And
since it was lunch time, Minott
Saunders steered me to place
which, he assured me, was among
the newest, having been open for
but few weeks.
You will be particularly inter-
ested," he went on, IN the very
modernistic decoration of the place
the newest French school of
design. ;"
1t was even as he had said, with
those deliberately ornate French
baskets and table decorations greet
ing the eyes as ! entered the ivory
tinted hallway. :. Just beyond
the door stood the blond and smil-
ingly affable proprietor. And as he
bowed me in, it seemed to me that
his face was just bit familiar.
What is the proprietor's name?'
| inquired. 1T isn't by any chance
Bob Card?"
Yes, 1t is. :"
The last time l. saw Bob Card he
was a manager or something at the
Bohemian Club, San Francisco. . /.
And, unless my memory completely
fails me, he once told me he had
come from Grand Rapids, Mich.
