weather conditions. calls for de-

not decided. The plan is to take in
as many States as possible, the

northern route and returning by a
southern one.
Fl. Worth has been selected for
a temporary base while the dirigible
is in Texas. A landing post is To-
Gated there, as is the Government
helium plant where the Los An
geleS can be re-inflated.
Navy department officials say the
dirigible probably will go direct to
FIT. Worth, stop there. go on to San
Antonio. fly over that city without
stopping and return to FIT. Worth
No attempt will be made to 60
further west and the huge airship
will start back for Lakehurst after
a day or so.

Wiley will be in charge and will
take a crew of fifty.

SCREAM COSTS
LIFE OF Girl
Bandits SIay Usher During
Theater HoIdup.
Bu United Press

BU United Press
CHICAGO, April 30.-The scream
of a girl usher during a suburban
motion picture theater hold-up here
last night cost her life.
Three bandits drove up to the
Ritz theater in Berwyn, and when
Miss Pearl Eggleston, IT, screamed
one Of them shot her. The three
seized $1.400 and fled to Chicago.
The girl was chatting with the
cashier when the bandits alighted
in front of the theater.
The robbery apparently had been
planned with detailed precision, the
bandits determined to shoot any one
who might balk them. All three
used their firearms and ran through
a crowd on the sidewalk outside be-
fore any of the surprised spectators
could offer resistance to their es-
cape.
No one was struck by bullets ex-
cept Miss Eggleston. Most of the
shots lodged in the walls of the the
ater lobby.

THE hardest job in my forty
Il five years of service is to
quit" declared D. c. Porter, 1882
N. Gale ST., Big Four route con-
ductor, as he stepped from the
rear platform of the NIissourian, at
the conclusion of his last run to-
day.
That last run was a birthday
celebration and farewell tour all
in one, for Porter completed his
seventieth year during the run
from Cleveland.
Il feel just as good now as I
did ten years ago, but it's a rule
of the road, and after forty-five
years of obeying those rules to
the best of my ability, I'm not
going to kick up the traces now.
And it's a mighty good rule
for most fellows of my age-they
aren't all as active as I am" he
added.
"The thing that has made the
deepest impression on me during
my service on this road, is the
fine treatment that I've received
from the road and it's officials.
They make it easy for a man to
do his best"
Porter was born near Union
City, Ohio, April 90. 1858, and
worked on his fathers farm near
there until he started with the
Big -Four, in 1883.
He has worked for the railroad
ever since, becoming conductor of
one Of its finest trains two years
ago.
HE made friends for the road
everywhere, among his passengers
and Others he came in contact
with" said G. H. McElroy, Belle
fontaine, Ohio, trainmaster, "He
was modest and faithful, and
pleasant always.
His fellow workers esteemed
his highly, and we hate to see
him retire. He's promised, though,
that he'll drop around to see us
all regularity But I know he's
not any more sorry to leave than
we are to see him 60"
The Missourian was stopped
outside Union Station for a few
minutes, too permit relatives and
fellow employees to congratulate
Porter.
This afternoon friends and rela-
tives gathered at the Porter resi-
dence.
