GOOD IN ENGLAND
Associates With Celebrities With
Great Success

London. Aug 80 Up, - Landing
Gene Tunney's bearing at last nights
dinner party given in his honor by
Harry Preston. noted British sports
man. the Express refers to the ex-
champion as the embodiment Of he
man decency."
Tunney scored one of the greatest
knockouts Of his life, the paper says.
by gracefully hobnobbins with the
literary celebrities and other not
ables attending the party.
In a toast to the guest of honor,
Lord Decies called Gene a great
gentleman" and hoped he would
have much success in Ibis chosen
held of literature"
The young Marquis of Clydesdale
followed with brief speech and the
ex-champion replied with graceful
phrases of appreciation.
Il don't know why you make this
russ over me-" Gene said. What is
boxing. The ability to coordinate
mind and muscle at a critical mo-
ment, that 10 all.
Yet you receive me with all this
acclaim. If l had been a great paint
er ! would have been met by
couple of long-haired men and short
haired women; had l been a famous
, literateur my welcome would have
been left to posterity.'
He denounced the killer" type as
4 menace TO boxing. declaring the
only JOY to oe obtained in a fight is
BY facing 4 man of physical and in
telieetuA equality.
Noting that Tunney's dinner jacket
failed to hide his shoulder muscles.
the Express writer's first impression
from the Americans appearance was
~ he puts 1t in today's edition:
Here vas = mountain guide who
ought to be something better, a man
YOU would trust your sons to on
company holiday. a man you would
trast your daughter to anywhere.
Genes speech IL described as
triumph Of sincerity that carried all
before It The speaker is character
ised AZ an orator to whom words
are music"
Hare was q speaker who has
knocked the language cold and
claimed Z championship over its
dead body" the writer says.
Among the distinguished men
present At the dinner, perhaps 80
in all, none had a chance after Tun-
nsy's telling remarks. the scribe con-
tinuss, but Arnold Bennett, the nov
eitst, topped OF the occasion with a
graceful touch.
IA friend asked me to dinner"
said the famous author. but told
him vas going to dine with Tun-
ney. You are liar the friend re-
torted. 'You are boasting.'
Gene wore q dress suit which his
tailors rushed to a finish although
he was measured for 1t the first time
only Tuesday. After the dinner the

KNOX EXPLAINS why He
HAS BANNED M0N0C0UPES
Aviation Commissioner Thinks Two
Fatal Accidents Have Proved
Their Thickness

Hartford. Aug. 80 (CP)-Com-
missioner Knox told the United
Press today that the banning of the
monocoupe type of plane from this
state was due TO their unsulta bill-
ties for general use by the public
when filters like Boots and
Mather experience practically the
same form OF accidents with these
ships" Knox sad. there is some-
thing wrong in their construction or
something tricky in their manipula-
ton which makes them unsafe.
Frankly. ! am at loss to &C.
count for the :tion of the ships.
After Lieutenant Mathers accident.
several pilots gave the monocoupe
rigid tests and. while flying at high
attitudes, put the ship thror>h
every imaginable maneuver
In all these test flights the
| monocoupe acted normally and the
pilots could find nothing wrong
with it. However, 1t is apparent
that it does not behave properly
when flying in low attitudes and ]
do not propose to allow erratic ships
of this type to endanger the lives
of any more Connecticut pilots"
| Commissioner Knox said the pilot
could see ahead partially from the
cabin, but directly ahead was
blind Though the visibility was
poor. he did not think that it had
had been the cause Of the accidents.
The monocoupe planes which
have been barred from this state,
are Of the cabin type which are be-
ing manufactured as a cheap plane
for use OF the general public. They
are monoplanes with a 3o-foot wing
spread and eight horsepower motor.
They carry pilot and one passen-
ger in the cabin. They are not
equipped with periscopes.

MUSICAL COMEDY

Cedar Island Lodge, Wis, Aug.
30 (UPl-John Coolidge may
choose between the vail of a saxo-
phone and international banking for
his life's work.
While he amuses himself along
the quiet Brule, everyone seems to
have a position for the presidents
son except John himself. 1t started
with an offer Of employment by
northwest banker. Offers from rail-
road firms, from a factory and even
from a producer of Broadway
musical review followed. and the
spotlight for a moment was shifted
from President Coolidge to his son.
But while John plays his saxo-
phone. sings at dances and seeks
amusement along the Brule. the
question OF his employment remains
unanswered.
The answer is not likely to be
forthcoming soon unless the vigil
ance of special secret service man
Is relaxed. John is, under direc-
tons from the president. not to be

man is under orders to see that he

his saxophune. His father has worn

he even encouraged John to sp' I'd
weekend away from the summer
White House.
Sometimes there we're other d.
versions. On several occasions,
while his father slept, John danced
far into the night. At Duluth he
attended 4 pajama dance and was
the prize of Z three -cornered contest
for his favor among a red-haired
girl, a blonde with baby-blue eyes
and a vivacious brunette. In their
honor he displayed his proves on
the saxophone.
Possessing an excellent and we'll
trained voice, John is often in de-
mand as an entertainer. He has an
unlimited repertoire of popular and
sentimental songs which he uses
during dance intermissions
When word of these accomplish
ments reached a New York musical
show producer he made an offer
said to be in five figures.
Mr.. Coolidge. II Is understood,
wants John to settle down to some
solemn occupation. Railroads. bank

of Governor Trumbull of Connecti-
cut are mentioned. John is report

When John recently declined the
offer of the northwest banker, II
was reported he already had found
a connection. Mr.. Coolidge said
very emphatically that such vas not
