Pinedo, the Italian aviator, has put
behind him one of the most hazard
Gus sections Of his "four-continent"
flight. He landed on the water off
this little island, short distance
from the Brazilian mainland yester-
day afternoon, after a twelve hour
nonstop flight across the Atlantic
from Cape Verde islands. Only bad
weather prevented him from going
right on to the mainland of the
South American continent.

circling over the island several times

SMI7H.M' ADOO IN
CONVENTION fight
Each Anxious to Name Place Of
Big Meeting

Washington, Feb. 23 (UP)-The
democratic national convention Is on.
Underlying the activity of the halt
dozen most prominent aspirants for
the presidential nomination next year
is a deep rooted feeling that the
choice Of a convention site will have
much influence upon the outcome OF
the convention.
Chicago, Cincinnati, Cleveland and
st. Louis are understood to be receiv-
ing favorable consideration by the
democratic national committee mem
bers who must make the choice.
The AL Smith leaders here are
talking of Detroit and some of the
William G. McAdoo forces favor 60
ing to California. The Smith people
think that Detroit Is cosmo politan
city much Of the type Of New York.
They think the influence of the city
would aid Smiths candidacy and are
preparing to fight for it's selection
They would not under any considera-
ton permit the convention to go to
California, they say, because that is
now considered McAdoos home state
Conversely, the McAdoo people
are not very sympathetic toward De-
troit. If they can't get California
they would rather have Cleveland
Chicago or Cincinnati in the order
named. Selection of either of the
Ohio towns might prove a boon tc
the candidacy of Gov. Vic Dona-
hey of Ohio who is being prominent
ly mentioned particularly by some
former McAdoo men as a possible
compromise candidate to end the
old McAdoo-Smith feud.
st. Louis is being favored by those
who wish to aid the candidacy OF
Senator James A. Reed of Missouri
Reed has always been popular in St
Louis although Kansas City is his
home town. If St. Louis should be
selected his candidacy would be ma
terially aided.
The committee will not meet to
select a site until next spring,

'DIAz ANXIOUS
FOR PROTECTION
Proposed Treaty Contains Clause
Assuring This End

| Managua, Nicaragua, Feb. 23.-tP)
Protection of the interests of
Nicaragua for 100 years is the COM
mission which the conservative
president, Adolfo Diaz, would like
the United States to assume. His pro-
| posals for a treaty with that country
will be placed before the Nicaraguan
congress Thursday, and he announc-
ed last night his assurance that they
will be approved.
In making public an outline of the
proposals which the conservative
government is forwarding to Wash
ington, President Diaz pointed out
that the treaty desired would not
give preferential treatment would
provide means whereby the United
States would protect interests of
Nicaragua for 100 years. The United
States would even be granted the
right to intervene when necessary to
maintain an adequate government
| and assure free elections.
| The United States also would
| guarantee the sovereignty and indie
/ pendence of Nicaragua and retain
agreements of the Bryan Chamorro
treaty, now in force, including the
right to build canal through
Nicaraguan territory.
For 400 years according to the
treaty as outlined in the proposals
| Nicaragua would concede to the
United States rights to develop the
country SO as to assure financial re-
Mobilization and security and the
public health.
Under the financial reha bilitation
provisions. the president of the
| United States would recommend
| financial adviser. to be appointed by
the Nicaraguan president. This ad-
wiser would be an American and
| have supreme power over financial
dispensations and the power to veto
expenditures. There would also be
an American collector-gener of all
revenue. These two Offices would eX-
list only for the duration OF the re-
! funding and consolidation of the
present internal and external debt
OF S7,000,000, revolutionary claims
! Of 100000 and a debt of $4,000
| 900 for proposed railway construc-
ton. A loan is expected to be floated
| for this construction, virtually under
American guarantees.
| The United States would work out
plans for Nicaraguan constabulary,
sanitation, financial and economic
| rehabilitation, credit system and
fiscal administration. 1t is stipulated
that collections of revenues shall first
/ go to the expenses of the office of the
collector general then to the national
debt, the national guard and the
! budget.
Nicaragua would not have a
standing army. but would have a
trained, armed constabulary which
would include municipal and rural
police and be the only armed organ
| tzation OF the country. The constabu-
larry would be differed by United
States marine officers.
The Constabulary would be non
political, and if after a ten year
period 1t became necessary to pre-
vent coup de'etat or a political up.
rising, American officers would auto
/ matically be given the privilege tc
take control of the constabulary.
| The treaty terms provide that
Nicara qua is not to enter a treaty
with or lease or sell territory to 8
foreign power other than the United
States without the consent Of the
United States.

By Georgia Douglas Johnson

Mrs. John Hope, the wife of Pres
ident John Hope, Of Morehouse Col
lege, is a very potent factor in the civic
life Of Atlanta, Ga. Ever since she
came out Of Chicago, over 20 years
ago, as Genie Burns, and married
professor who has since become presi-
dent, her influence has been felt all
over the city.
She gave birth to the Neighborhood
Union idea that has lowered since its
inception nineteen years ago and now
1ourishes city wide. Within the past
month a new health center home has
been erected through the activity Of
this Union Children are receiving
proper attention and the health Of the
next generation will be bettered be-
cause Of this institution.
Mrs. Hope was one of the few Sc
lected by Mr.. Hoover, Secretary oi
y. S. Department Of the Interior, to
investigate conditions in the flood dis
trict. Upon being asked where she
preferred to be sent, she gave this re-
ply, typical Of her always, wherever
| am most needed
She was sent into the most. devas-
tated region and lives to tell the tale
Of an experience hair-raising in its ter
ror and hazard. Upon being asked ii
she would give the same intrepid
answer if she mad to repeat this ex-
perience, she answered unhesitatingy
Yes"
1t is not we'll to save all the hosan-
nahs, crowns and jubilations for the
twilight days Of life, we should give
out praises when they can be enjoyed
and smiled over When we are too
tired to be glad-what will it matter 7
And SO, let us take off our hats to the
intrepid little lady who moves SO regal
~ and YET SO quietly about her home

Of the school-crowned hills of that

precipice near this town, 800 miles
from Atlanta, is to have lined there
upon by the sculptor's chisel the like
ness of Abraham Lincoln, Kentuckian
whose armed men overthrow the cause
for which Lee fought.
There will be no other Lincoln me-
mortal like this in the world. A noted
sculptor from the east came here
looked at the towering rock and de-
cided that the carving could be done
and it is likely the plan will be made
feasible within a few months. Two
years would likely be required to cut
Lincoln's figure into the heights 81

head above Cumberland Gap, and its
shadow reaches almost to Lincoln:
Memorial University. The rock noun.
tain is located on the grounds Of tht
university, which, however, is in Ten

The figure OF Lincoln would be more
than 100 feet in height, and according
to the plans as advanced, it would b,
