NEW YORK, September st is
hard to compare the problems OF air
transportation in the United States with
those of Europe. Europe is a country
of small nations. The large cities are
fairly close together, and the nations
are thickly settled.
American tourist trade since the war
has been of great help in Europe's pas
senger service. One can go from London
to Paris in a couple of hours. and from
Berlin or Paris the journey to any
important city in Europe, except those
in Russia. takes only few hours.
Australia is of more interest in its air
transportation to the United States and
Canada, because of the long haul and
its more sparsely settled country. Aus
tralia has now made arrangements for
a weekly air transcontinental service
from Perth to Adelaide, l 500 miles. The
passenger fare will be 800.
-Four powerful airplaneS made In Eng
land. each capable of carrying IA pas
sengers. will be used. The planes are
similar to those used between London
and Paris Each machine will cost ap-
proximatelv S45 900. and will be equip
ped with three $50 horsepower engines.
The Australian government is assisting
in some of the expenses involved.
In countries where railroads do not
directly concct the leading cities, air
planes are invaluable.
The first notes of the new and smaller
currency adopted by the United States
Government and already printed at the
Bureau of Engraving. will be distinct
novelty. for the United States had not
changed the size of the currency in q
generation. The new forms include one.
two. five. ten, twenty. fifty and one
hundred five hundred and one thousand
dollar notes. 1t will DC a year or two
before all of them reach the public.
The first ones run off were dollar bills.
There will be more than one billion new
bank notes. and the dollar bills will
constitute more than one-half of them.

whether their motives are right

The most valued parts are the

BY RAY TUCKER

HOUSTON, June ga soft
spoken, unaSsuming man from Ten
nessee may be the dominating factor
at the Democratic convention next
week. Prospects of harmony that
will furnish chance of victory in
November may depend on him.
He is Representative Cordell Hull,
former chairman of the national
committee and Democratic tax ex-
pert in the House. Though he comes
here as his States favorite son, he
pretends to no hope for the nomina-
ton. 1t is said he will be content
with second place, but he will not
admit that now.
Many look to him to play a far
greater role-that of party peace
maker between the South and the

Smith wing. In his first conference
with the press he made clear that
he placed the party above person.

The big problem for our party"
he SAID, relates to the presentation

There is talk that the anti-Smith
group may unite on him in an effort
to stop the New York Governor.
With Senator Reed adverse to lead
ing a coalition movement and no
other favorite son possessing Hull's
potential strength, the TennesSeean
may hold the balance of power
should the anti-Smithites muster
enough votes to block Smith.
Few unbiased observers expect
that they will, but if 1t we're done
it might be up to Hull to insure
Smiths nomination, to prevent it or
to make it possible with the mini
mum amount Of bitterness.
Hull might be able to release
sufficient southern delegates to give
Smith painless victory; he might
side with Reed and prolong the
deadlock, or he might urge the
South to abandon its extreme stand.
In any case, his role would have a
great influence.

Lads Learn Water Wisdom
at Camp Sponsored

Twelve Seventy-five-pound boys,
on twelve twenty-foot cars.
70! no! no! and a bottle of red
pop!
That is the indianapolis Navy,
finest in the world for their weight
and age.
Minus a few details in the matter
of equipment, such as uniforms,
guns and the like, the sixth season
of the camp for boy seamen is we'll
under way at Camp Cridley.
Stroke!
In fact, the first quota OF fifty
recruits and former service juvenile
sailors have put in an entire week
at the White River encampment.
Far from sea, but just as wet
so far.
Tuesdays storm didn't blow any
one off the deck, but it did bowl
over a couple of tents and put the
youths to rescuing the contents
with all the zeal Of shipwrecked
crew.
One of the tents belonged to Jor-
dan Cunningham and Daffon CalG-
well, two 16-year-old salts from
San Antonio, Texas.
The seventy five pound boys
range in age from 10 to 16. Parked
in the large twelve-man seagoing
rowboats, bucking the twenty foot
oars, they are almost Invisible. Tops
of their heads just appear over the
gunwales.

boys are to have white naval uni
forms and Capt E. F. Burton, camp
commander, has planned forma'
opening with visitors invited.
He feels that the Indianapoii:
citizenry should turn out to inspect
Camp Gridley, since it is the only
project of its kind in the United
States fostered by the United State:
Naval Reserve. This year the In
diana Naval Militia is also cooper
ating and as formerly, the grounds
buildings, which includes messiah
and several others, have been do
mated by the Indianapolis Parl

may be doubled during the sum-
