New York. Aug. 16 Pl-The pro- posed operation to separate Mary and Margaret Gibb. 17 year old Siamese twins. has been indefinitely postponed due to unfavorable pub licity.
 Dr. Francis P. Weston. New York surgeon who had charge of the case. said he has removed the twins from the private hospital where they were admitted q week ago.

triple royal meeting in Malmo in December. 1914. The prime minis ters and foreign ministers of the three countries evolved policy that resulted in neutrality and mu- tual economic assistance during the war years, and during the final stages of the conflict the three northern kingdoms were formed into q single area of production with free mutual exchange of commodities.
 At the second Triple Royal meet ing, held in Osle in 1917, Gustaf publicly took the initiative in wip- ing out the last remaining diver gencies between the northern king doms. Recalling the fact that the disruption Of the Union had been hard blow to Scandinavian unity, the Swedish King, in public ad- dress, pleaded for Union of a new type. Let us form a fresh union,' he said, mot of the old kind but d union of mutual understand ing and hearts, the vitality Of winch l trust will be more lasting than that of the former king He then grasped the hands of the other two kings, and his appeal was sealed before the nations by silent promise.
 Had His Bath
 Many stores are told of King Gustaf in his younger days, particu- larly one incident which is said to have occurred while he was cruising as a guest on the British Royal l yacht Gustaf, then Crown Prince | was told that he had only a fAw minutes to dress for dinner. and would not have time for his bath, He was dressed in sport clothes at ! the time, and without word to | anyone, plunged over the side ol 1 the yacht into the sea. He swan about easily until a boat was fran tically lowered and sent to pick him up. I had my bath, you see," was l his comment to his hosts.
 Once when the Swedish cruiser Gustaf N., was visiting Stockholm
 a letter addressed ''Gustaf N." was
 delivered to the King at the palace
 He read it and discovered that ::
 should have been delivered to q sailor aboard the Gustaf N.. but the
 most or the address had been oblit-
 erated. The letter was from girl
 asking If the sailor could slip away
 from the ship that night and keel | d rendezvous with her.
 The King was highly amused al
 the incident, and went aboard the
 ship in the afternoon. He told the

 Gustaf is the most famous royal tennis player in Europe. He usu- ally enters several tournaments during the season, identifying him. self as Mir. G." He has often played with Suzanne Lenglen. The King is very particular that his op- ponents make no allowance for his title. and he plays so well that his opponents can make no allowance for his age.

SWEDISH KING IS
 70 YRS. OLD TODAY
Attributes Good Health to AC-
 dYity in Sports

Stockholm. Aug. 16 UP)-Stock- holm and all Sweden today celebrat- cd the 10th birthday of the king, Gustaf V. who has ruled over his people for 21 years. The capital was thronged with great crowds from all rarts of the country. while local cele brations were held in all cities and villages ill honor of Sweden's popu- lar monarch.
 King Gustaf is the tallest monarch in Europe: he is the oldest ruler Of any state in the world; he has held his position longer than any other monarch: at the age of 70 he is in excellent physical and mental condi- ton, a keen sportsman, and able to hold his own in his favorite sport tennis-against much younger op- ponents.
 The kings kindness democracy, and love for his people have brought hlm to the span of three score and ten years backed by popularity unsurpassed by any public figure of the day. When Gustaf came to the throne in 1907 he showed his ap- preciation of the change in the posi- ton of monarchy caused by the consistent advance of democracy. Realizing that the last 10 years of hls fathers reign had prepared the way for new era by the extension of the franchise and the onward movement of the Left parties, the king decided to adhere to the trend uf the times by dispensing with the coronation ceremony, former laV- ish display of pomp and ceremony. He followed with other reductions of state functions and diminished the pageant at the opening of the Rlks- dag and other important occasions.
 Emerged We'll From Crises
 As crown prince of Sweden and Norway, Gustaf took an active hand in the government during the last few years of his fathers life, who was in very delicate condition. When Norway broke away from the union in 1905, the action of the king and crown prince of Sweden contributed greatly to the peaceful SetLle IuGHl Ol luC COlllllt. " IiSii nv became king, Gustaf faced various difficulties brought on by internal political contests, but all the situa- tions were cleared up by constitu- tional means and the government emerged handsomely from several threatening crises.
 King Gustaf won the undyins ad- miration of the peoples of Norway and Denmark, as well as of Sweden. by the part he played in uniting the northern Kingdoms when the World War threatened to send them on diverging courses. A Danish prince, married to the daughter of King Edward of Eng land. became king of Norway after the dissolution of the union. Al though relations between Norway and Sweden had improved since tn, separation. there had been no rap prochement between the two roya houses.

v hose familiar with tire history will remember the early experimental days when the only way manufacturer could express his confidence in his product was by offering definite mileage guarantee.
 They will recall how, due to misuse, the definite figure inevitably was pushed beyond all sensible bounds
 As tires improved in quality the whole theory and practice of definite mileage" commitments was pushed into the back ground and finally rejected by standard tire companies as unfair and uneconomi- cal to the tire-user.

 Its abuse by interruptions drivers con- fronted the manufacturer with the alter natives of higher prices or lower quality to meet the added costs of unjustifed allowances.
 Perhaps its most unfair feature was that it benefited the driver who misused his tires and misrepresented his mileage at the cost of the honest and careful driver who did not abuse his tires.

TEACHERS FACE TRIAL
Three American Instructors Charged with Violating Turkish Law Pro- hibiting Religious Instruction.

Broussa, Turkey. Feb. IT R - Three American teachers are on trial here charged with disobeying the ministry of education rules for bidding religious instruction in the schools.
 The teachers were to be tried for violation of the civil law for dis seminating religious propaganda. but when the case came up the charge was changed to violation ot the education rules. This reduction of the charges was viewed as indi- eating Turkey was seeking simply to enforce in the foreign schools the same rules applied to native in- situations and not trying 10 make religious issue of the case.
 The women are teachers in the American school here. Miss Edith Sanderson of Berkeley, Cal, had attempted to assume full responsl- bility but the director of the school. Miss Jennie Jilson, and another in structor, Miss Lucille Day. were also placed under the charges.
 Miss Sauderson is alleged to have distributed Bibles to several Mos- lem girl students, discussed Chris tianity with them and to have con- ductcd cvenin> prayers with a student on the school property.

Lindbergh's Greatness as Pilot
 Is No Mystery to Expert Airmen
Skill Proved in Numerous Ways in Addition to His Ability to Make Any Destination for
 Which He Aims.

the fact that the engine had not had a complete overhaulins since the day Lindbergh left San Diego. the picture changes color considerably. The engine of the famous Spirit of St. Louis had more work done on it be- fore the hop-off from Boiling Field than at any time since 1t left the factory. but at that. the work ,f the army mechanics represented what is known aS "top overhaul" ItS nearest equivalent in the field of the automobile. the carbon and valve job, is we'll known to every motorist.
 That the ships engine needed 90 little attention is accepted by the technician as the greatest possible tribute to Lindbergh's ability as . flyer.
 Typical of the care with which he treats the engine ot the worlds bes. known airplane. in the opinion of his fellow-flyers, is the hourly mileage recorded by Col. Lindbergh on the hop to Mexico City. That it was 20 miles slower than on the journey to Paris was a source of wonderment to many laymen, but to the expert, it was most significant.
 Lindbergh, throughout the c7 hours of the flight. kept the plane close to it's cruising speed. the rate of travel st which the engine per. fo. with the least likelihood Of t.o"ble developing. This, together with the fact that he encountered head winds instead of the tail winds which help cd him SO much on the transatlan- tic flight. accounts for the lower rate of speed-and also for the fact that the J5 engine in the plane hews

 Ar. Cooled Motoes
 The 35.000 miles that the plane has flown represents approximately $50 hours in tho air. at tho time this Is written. Now. this is not an unheard of performance for an air cooled engine. The Nays air-cool- ed engines tho Pratt and Whitney 'wasps'' and hornets. which are given excellent treatment at all times. have gone 100 and 500 hours without . major overhaul. So have the Wright Whirlwinds in Navy planes. But the record of $50 hours is considerably better than the av- craze in civilian flying where 200 hours may be taken as g. general standard for at least a thorough top" overhaul. Those in heavy service require complete inspection at least and this necessitates tear- ing them down.
 Army and Navy experts, at least as we'll qualified as any group to pass judgment, doubt that any plane is given better treatment than Lind bergh accords to the Spirit of St. Louis. In flight, it is handled by one who knows its every capacity. Before and after each flight. 1t is minutely inspected by man with an unauestioned genius for detecting any possible slight flaw in motor or any other unit. AS an indication of the recognition of this ability in Lindbergh by the greatest engineers in the country, one may cite the fact that, while the motor is watch- ed closely by its designers and build CTS, they are leaving every small item of its care to "Slim's" discre ton. They know he knows.
 One of the large factors in re- vealing Lindbergh's mastery of his subject Is his ability 10 do with any plane anything that it is capable of doing and to recognize Immediately its inevitable limitations. It is doubt full if any pilot in the world las flown so many different types of planes as has Lindbergh since his famous trans oceanic flight.

 If 1t is true that the only ones qualified to estimate properly mans greatness are those engaged in the same field of endeayor. then Col. Charles A. LindberEh's quail ficatiors more than meet this most difficult of all tests For. airmen of all types, flyers, designers, plane builders-men whose names were great when Lindbergh was unheard of-take off their hats to him today not, as one of them said, Because its the thing to do: but because he does know his game from bottom to top"
 Naturally. the public's measure of Lindbergh is that he gets there there" being any destination that the intrepid flyer seeks. By this yardstick. of course. "Slim." which still is his name to all his friends, is 100 per cent perfect. Even more interesting, in some respects. is that he obtains the same grade when measured by the technicians ruler which is not SO much that he reach ed his destination but the manner of his reaching it.
 Flight Catches Fancy
 Although it lacked the spectacular setting of his New York to Paris flight, and even If it was a lesser achievement in every respect Lind- ttrgh's recent flight from Washing ton 10 Mexico City has caught the fancy of those who know aviation.
 For instance, the trip was made in a plane that already had tra- versed more than 32,000 miles. The mileage is not. Tn itself, impressive.
