| siasm of the country over the flight
knows no bounds and organizations
and individuals are competing to en-
terrain the airmen.

have been made is one that when

This honor" says the Achtuhr

how proud Germany is over the fact
that the two countries are not d.

On Saturday the two aviators plan

Next day they expect to fly to Vienna.
| They will return to Berlin Thursday,
| proceeding by air to Bremerhaven to
meet their wives, due from New York
next day.
Flyers Constantly Acclaimed.
Such enthusiasm as has been
aroused over the flight Is rarely seen
in Berlin. From the time the fiiers
rose yesterday to keep their appoint
ment with President Won Hinderburg
until they returned to the American
embassy. their headquarters, to dress
for an official dinner. they were con.
stantly obliged to acknowledge greet
ings.
The populace not only talks about
the two Americans, but sings about
them. A hastily composed ballad,
sung to the tune of a we'll known
German ditty is heard everywhere. It
begins: "Chamberlin. Chamberlin. lass
dlch sehen in Berlin" C'Let us see you
in Berlin'D.
Inc newspapers are filled with
columns of description of the flight

Chamberlin and Levine. Only a few
papers have fault to find. The Com
munlst Rote Fahn Red Flag describes
the Llndbergh and Chamberlin flights
as tests by american imperialism" of
the possibility of aviation, with
view later to bombing attacks from
the air."

Enthusiastic Over Plane.
German engineers, airplane manu-
facturers and airmen who flocked to
the Tempelhofer field to inspect the
Bellanca plane Columbia. were en-.
thusiastic over its construction.
The general opinion Is that Ameri.
can airplane experts. working in
silence, have developed a machine of
which they may well be proud. Cham
berlin also took time to make an
inspection of his ship. He found that
all was In perfect order. notwithstand-
ing the forced landing at Klinge.
When they return home, the airmen
will have great deal more baggage
than they brought with them on their
great flight. They have already re-
ceived many gifts of all descriptions
and there is promise of much more to
come. In their collection are photo
graphs of President Won Hindenhurg,
in heavy silver frames. Chamberlin

Fair weather for "Lindbergh day"
is looked for by the Weather Blu

Although the forecast could not
be given today as definite, it was
stated that the chances were better
for a good day Saturday than for a
rainy one.
There is a slight disturbance

to the opinion expressed today it

Maoris Put Up BraUe
Battle for Country

The history Of the Maoris Of New
Zealand is a most remarkable one.
Primitive and even cannibalistic up to
sixty years ago, they have In a brief
space of years achieved equality with
the white man.
1t is hundreds of years since six
large canoes, each holding about 200
persons, arrived there from the Tahiti
archipelago. Maori tradition has pre-
served the names of these boats, and
the New Zealand fleet now employs
them. BY the time Of the British
conquest the 1000 people who had
landed utterly exhausted by their tre-
mendous journey, had become 1C0,OOO
Ia small population for such large
territory.
No tribe ever exhibited such hero
ism in the face of European conquest
as did the Maoris. In seizing New
Zealand, Great Britain lost $4,000 sol
diers, though the forces Of the Maoris;
armed only with old-fashioned wooden
weapons. did not exceed 1000. When
peace finally came. the conqueror"
found they had deep respect for the
conquered. -Arnaldo CipOlla in La
Stampa. Turin diving Age).

Mans Food Supply for
Seventy Years of Life

If man of seventy years were
starving it would probably be of little
comfort to him to reflect that he had
consumed in the course of his life 53%
tons of solid food and 42A tons of
liquid, or about 1880 times his own
weight in both solids and liquids, but
it would be quite true.
Being a man of average appetite
and purse, he would have eaten Is
tons of bread, which would have made
a single loaf containing 1,200 cubic
feet and appearing about as large as
the average suburban home, and on
this bread he would have spread one
ton of butter. If his bacon had been
cut in single slices the strip would
have been four miles long, and his
chops, placed end to end, would have
extended two miles. Twenty ordinary
sized bullocks have supplied him with
beef, some Is tons of which he has
eaten, along with tons of fish and
10000 eggs and $50 pounds of cheese.
If he had elected to have all his yege-
tables served at once, they would have
come TO him on a train of cars, the
pod containing all his peas being over
three miles long. He has had 1900
pounds of sugar, 1,500 pounds of salt,
s pounds of pepper and 100 cans of
mustard. Three pints of liquid a day
would have amounted TO 10000 pints
or 42A tons.-Washingto Star.

RAILROAD WINS DAMAGE CASE
OVER DEATH JOHN c. GRAY, ESQ.
JURY RENDERED VERDICT FOR
DEFENDANT IN 100000 SUIT
Accident Happened At Bridgeville in
1924-Case Was First Tried Last
May But the Jury Disagreed

A special jury in Superior Court
Wednesday afternoon celebrating Tor
a half hour returned verdict in fav-
or of the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany in the 100000 damage suit of
Miss Miriam E. Gray, sister and ad-
ministratrix, C. t. a., of John Gray
against the railroad company. Testl-
mony was completed Tuesday after
noon and counsel presented their
argument to the jury Thursday morn
ing. Chief Justice PennewilI and
Judge Harrington presided at the
trial, which started Monday morning.
Mr.. Gray was killed on the night of
November .27, 1924, when his automo-
bile was struck by southbound
freight train at the Delaware Dlvl-
sion Railroad crossing in Bridgeville.
The suit was first tried last May, but
the jury disagreed.
The plaintiff alleged the crossing
was without a watchman or proper
warning, that buildings obstructed a
clear view of the crossing, and that
the noise made by northbound train
which passed the crossing immediate
ly before the southbound train, pre-
vented Mr.. Gray from hearing the ap-
proach of the southbound train.
The railroad contended that the
buildings did not obstruct the view,
that man, by waving his arms,
warned Mr.. Gray of the approaching
train, that the whistle and bell of the
locomotive were sounded, and that
tracks are straight for about four
miles so that the train could have
been seen approaching the crossing.
Charles F. Curley and ]. Rankin
Davis represented Miss Gray and An
drew G. Gray and Herbert H. Ward,
Jr., represented the railroad. When
Mr.. Gray was killed, he was on Wis
it to his sister, Mrs. Eta Gray Jones
in Bridgeville, and was returning to
her home after having spent part of
the evening at the home of Newell
Ball, near Bridgeville.

they lived up to and sometimes

bit Of harm if a lot Of our young
business men Of these days had
some of the old style gambling
standards of honor and decency
and fair play, and had 'em strong
enough to die for 'em. :"
Contrasted with the pioneer
Southwest, one finds in "A Son Of
His Father" beginning serially in
the April number of McCalls
Magazine, biting picture Of the
present. Cunning succeeds honesty,
luxury softens and lulls the keen
pioneer spirit; petting parties are
the rule on the very spots where
men died in desperate, last stands
to save their wives and children
from the painted savages.
tYou see," concludes Drayton,
"all of US old timers know what
Arizona was--but God Almighty
only knows what Arizona is going
to be when this generation gets
through with it"
And throughout Wright's book,
perhaps his masterpiece, runs the
question els the old pioneer spirit
dead ?-or does it survive in the
men of today?"
Wright answers the question
when, in the conflict between
primitive passions and stern ideals,
the present slips back, guns bark
again and men and horses fall.
And the author seems to speak, not
for the Southwest alone, but for
all America.

Harold Bell Wright Mourns
The Passing of the Pioneers

In one of his moving pictures of
the old Southwest, Harold Bell
Wright, in his latest novel, "a Son
of His Father" deplores Americas
forgetfulness of the pioneer spirit
while many of the pioneers them
selves are still living. He empha-
sizes this in one unforgetable
scene, set in the Old Pueblo Club
at Tucson, Arizona. Max Drayton,
one of the boldest of the pioneers,
shows a distinguished eastern au-
thor, who has come to Arizona
seeking local color, just who are
The men, so quiet, so correctly
dressed, sitting about him in the
luxurious lounge.
"Do you see that man over
there by the Window" asks Dray-
son.
"The portly old gentleman
reading?"
"That's the one-that's Colonel
Brandonwell. Brand was a scout

ado and Wyoming. He came to

dians and outlaws all over this
Southwest George Crider,
that kindly, even spoken gentleman
you met when we came in-he's
another who has lived through
more red-blood stories than ever
you'll write"
Under the magic Of Wright's
words the artificial club scene
fades. One hears the tearing clat-
ter of the horses, the yells of the
savages, weaving about the stalled
prairie schooners or before the
walls of little adobe forts. And
above all, dominating all, one sees
the stern, high faces of the pio-
neers, the trail breakers of empire.

a moment triumphant over time,

"While we're sheddin' our wild
and woody ways, and getting shut
of our guns, are we throwing away
lot of things with 'em that we
ought to hang on to-? asks Dray-
ton.
"I mean that in those days
we had a lot of ideas that would
be mighty good for us to have
right now" he adds. @You take
