CHIHUAHUA TO DOUGLAS RECORD

Sterling Rholfs, wealthy New Mex
leo cattleman, flying his Fairchild
monoplane and accompanied by Wal
lace Springer, also cattleman from
New Mexico, dropped down OH the
Camp Jones parade ground at 3
p. m. yesterday. They were joined
there by W. D. Billy" King, promin :
ent international attorney with offices
in Douglas and Mexico City. At $50
p. m. the plane took off again headed
for NogaleS on what King said would
be trip TO Mexico City and return.
The three men were the only pas
sengers in the ship. King said that
the trip had been arranged merely
for pleasure and that a number OF
stops will be made on the way to
back a nonstop flight from Chi
huahua City to Douglas will be made.
Going down, the ship will clear
from the port of Nogales this morning
and make land at Cajeme as the
first stop. From there, according to
King, the flight will continue to
Mazatlan, Tepic, Guadalajara and
Mexico City. This is not the first
flight Rholts has made into Mexico
in his staunch Fairchild. The trip
is purely pleasure jaunt, King an
nounced, and no attempt will be made
to hurry. I'VE may stop several days
at some OF the ports" he said.
On the return the flight from
Mexico City will be to Torreon and

which place the only spectacular
phase of the journey will take place
in the first nonstop flight from
Chihuahua City to Douglas. There
is no great distance involved in this
flight and the only element of risk
is that OF blazing new air route.
RholtS is q seasoned pIo3 and has
flown the FailchiId from Long
Island, New York, ito Douglas in less
than 80 hours so that he knows his
ship and his navigation.
This marks the departure of the
first pleasure party ever to take of
from Douglas on such an extended
trip. Many men have flown out 81
this port on business trips CT great
length and army men have passed
through and taken off from here on
trips across the continent but never
before have men OH pleasure pent
flown from here to tour Mexico and
return to this port.
Attorney King had been planning
the trip for some time. He is a
legal representative of the Mexican
administration and has much business
in Mexico City. Rholfs was one of
the very first fliers and the first

authority to fly into Mexico after

More Truth Than Poetry
BY JAMES J. MONTAGUE

EASY
If we could avoid all temptations
Hold serious purpose in life
And bring to our daily vocations
The spirit of generous strife
If we could give over mere pleasure
Discard the distraction called play,
And put in copious measure
OF brain building work every day
If we could be frugal and saving
And never permit to intrude
On our senses a fatuouS craving
For luxurious liquors and food,
If we could give heed to the warning
That muscles won't keep in good
/, trim
Unless a full hour each morning
Is spent in hard work in the gym
If we could hark back through the
ages
4 And pondeS the maxims sublime
The wonderful words that the sages
Have said since the dawning of
time, &
If we could live, not for enjoyment,
Amusements and vices forego
and bring to our daily employment
The best that we have to bestow-
We could rise to the highest positions
The world can confer upon man
And all of our lofty ambitions
We'd according to plan.
Our progress could not be arrested
The nation our praises would chant
Could we do the things I've sug-
geSted-

The little congress is an organiza-

bills and resolutions and sometimes
resolves itself into a political conven-
ton. But somehow the big congress
pays very little attention to it.

offices which aren't mentioned on the
floor.
Unfortunately, their intimate know
ledge occasionally leads some OF the
boys and girls to attack on the floor

their bosses are supporting on the
floor Of the big congress.
The little congress is about 10 years
old, but somehow none of its mem

sion, has been mos. conspicuous in
the case Of manufactured goods.
This fact is not due to any lack of
efficiency or enterprise on the part
of American farmers or of exporters
of farm products, nor to any failure
of the government to push sales of
agricultural commodities abroad.
The demand for food-stuffs and for
other major farm products in the
world as a whole is limited; it ex-
pands little, if any, faster than the
population increases"
| In addition. the report points out,
! the restoration of peace to Europe
brought revival of European agri-
cultural output, with the result that
the demand for American farm prod
ucts tended to shrink still further.
! Accordingly, it was essential for the
well-being Of this country that it

tured products to make up for this
decline.

export of finished manufactures,
which must meet the vigorous COM
petition of recovering European in

total of $2,061 900, 900, or more than
the pre-war average"
After pointing out that finished
manufactures are constituting yearly
an ever larger percentage of our
total exports. the report goes on to
show that the geographic distribu-
ton Of our exports is undergoing a
correlative shift. Sales to South
America, Asia, Oceania and Africa
have gained hugely; Europe, while
buying more than before, buys less
proportionately and is no longer our
most important market. AS result,
American industrial expansion has
actually helped the economic recov-
cry of Europe; for this country, buy

or the shopping crowds to become
self-conscious.
A little restaurant, looking down
on Orchard street, was rented and
by a neat trick in window camou-

sistants were hidden. Only one or
two push-cart peddlers were "in" on
the game.
The scene was to show Warner
GLAND, the most excellent Of villains,
in pursuit of an obstreperous small
boy who was presumed to have stol-
en- something from push-cart.
AS GLAND chased the lad down
push-cart lane, the crowd became
incensed at his treatment of the child
and mob pursuit was soon on. 1t
wasn't what the camera man or

IN NEW YORK

New York, Dec. 4.-Motion pic
ture directors have been driven to
every form of camouflage when TAX
ing street scenes about Manhattan.
The very sight of movie camera
is sufficient to start the formation
Of mob that grows beyond all pro-
portions and defies the efforts of
extra police.
In no other place can SO many
people gather on such short notice
whether the attraction be a dog
fight, the sidewalk demonstration of
q "pitch-man" or the search Of a
small boy for a lost dime. Not long
ago a camera was seen going down
Broadway on a truck and the STAN
pede that resulted choked traffic in
the Times Square belt for half an
hour.
There are times when a director
can do very nicely without a crowd
in the background. There are times
when he wants his hero or heroine
to appear coming from a shop door
or walking lonesomely along the
streets Of great city. On such oc-
casions he has to tap his ingenuity
and make every possible effort to
surround his activities with secrecy.
The slightest hint of such an event,
if printed in the newspapers, would
bring out thousands of New York
!rs.
And so dozens of tricks are per-
formed under the very noses of the
Manhattan mob, without a single
man-on-the-stree being aware OF
what is going on.
