MISS EARHART WINS

Eating crow is not the most enjoyable pastmc in
the world but doing with good grace makes 1t little
easier and the writer of this column will try to do it
gracefully while taking his hat off to Miss Amelia
Earhart Tor her flight across the Atlantic.
Under the title "Not in the Main Tent" this col
umn recently cast considerable asperSiOn at Miss Ear
harts ability as an aviator only to have her prove that
she is entitled considerable praise in this connection
Best accounts state that she has been licensed flyer
for several years with more than 500 air hours TO her
credit
1t is not reported Just how much actual flying she
did on the hop across the Atlantic, but that she did
any at all is not very material. She one of the
crew, fact that required more courage than most oil
US possess.
ty; we are glad she has the honor of being the first
woman successfully to complete the trip the
not be too hard to digest.
it is not surprising that Kansas City reports
severe storms the weekend following the conycn
ton.
Give Miss Boil credit for knowing when she is
licked. She has abandoned her plans following Miss
Earhart's successful flight Her congratulations to
the latter also prove her a good loser.

Merchant Loses Suit
 For Bill Due in 1923

Sebastian Lustio has lost his suit for $200 damages against Giuseppe Prestia. according to a finding handed down in city court today by Judge Henry r. Roche. The plain tiff sued on an account alleged 10 have been running since February 22. 1923, to August II. 1926. with a balance amounting to $156.96. but in view of the condition of the account book. the testimony Of the book keeper, and the failure Of the plaintiff to make any effort to col lect the bill for such g long period. the denial of the defendant and his wife was given due consideration and the court found for the defend- ant to recover costs. Greenherg & Levitt represented Prestia.
 The plaintiff presented an account book with entries alleged 10 have been written by the hookkeeper at the time of the sale According to Judge Roche's decision. the testi- mony of the hookkeeper was con- tra dictory and the book had not the appearance of being written up at different times. The defendant and his wife denied that they purchased any goods at the plaintiffs store and the wife of the defendant claimed that anything she ever purchased she paid for at the time.
