ESTABLISH PLANE BASE SEWARD
 IN NEAR FUTURE

A clean-cut appearing young man dropped into The Gateway office yes terday, Howard Fowler by name, for information regarding possibilities of establishing an airplane base at this point. It so happened there were sev- eral business men in the office when Fowler dropped in. He was not only assured that such a base should prove with a little pioneering, renumerative, but was also sent away with the as surance that not only would he have the moral support of the citizens of this city but that, providing he came with a plane or two, hangar would be built for him. Two of the men practically volunteered to put up the money for the hangar.
 Fowler is licensed pilot and has had 10 years experience in aeronau- tics. Of more recent date he was en- poliyed as pilot with the Bell airline, of Portland Ore. Previously he flew 1 in the mail service.
 1 Aside from being first class avia- tor the young man is mechan- ic, as was also his partner, who would also come to Seward with him should he decide this would be an adyanta- geous point to inaugurate such ser vice.
 l Fowler said, after listening to the bushes men for one and one-half hours, that should he decide on Sew ard-and he seemed to be very inn lpressed-he proposed to bring up hy droplane costing in the neighbOrhOod of $20,OOO modern and equipped with radio receiving and broadcasting set; wave length 800 miles. His mot or would be over 400 h. D. with a fly ing speed of at least 115 miles an hour
 It was pointed out to Fowler the various districts in which trade could be developed in: the Westward region in particular being one source where such service would be most well come, supplementing the steamship and small boat service. The carrying of furs, possible mail subsidy to a far Westward point; the traffic to h. terior points, especially during the winter months; the tourists in the summer season, and many other sour ces.
 During the conversation Fowler said there was no stock seIllng or promo tion scheme to his plan, If he came | he would bring his own plane and would pioneer this field at least for year giving a fair test whether this district could support such a project. l From what hn has observed and been told, he feels confident such a service could be maintained and though he said he did not expect to make for tune, he hoped sufficient business
 would justify him remaining perma- nently Providing he decides to To-
 cate in Seward he will come either
 this fall or next spring.

List of, Persons Out
 For Prohibition Dept.

Washington, Sept. 25 R-A list of persons eligible for appointment as dry agents, investigators and attor- neys was sent today to the adminis- trators of all districts except New York by Prohibition Commissioner Doran. The list was certified to the prohibition bureau by the civil serv- ice commission.
 "The lists are not very satisfac- tory" Doran said, "and will not fill 90 per cent of the places perma- nently."
 Commissioner Doran said that q new civil service examination for prohibition bureau employees had been prepared and will be held soon in every section of the country to fill vacancies and compile a waiting list from which future appointments will be made. Doran favors the new examination, which. he said, stresses experience of an officer as quali- flying factor. over the technical character of the first prohibition eX- animation which resulted in a large percentage of failures.

SENATOR IS NOT MADE EXCEPTION
Phipps Of Colorado Has Baggage
 Searched at the Pier

New York, Sept. c5 R-The bag gage of United States Senator Law renee C. Phipps of Colorado was thoroughly searched when he arriv- ed on the French liner He De France today despite his protests.
 Thrilling" Purchases
 The republican senator told GUS toms inspectors that his 17 pieces of luggage contained only tritling foreign purchases, all of which he had properly declared. but at the direction of deputy collector of customs everything was opened on the pier and carefully examined.
 Despite his controversy with the customs men Senator Phipps found time to speak of politics with ship reporters. He defended the republi- can policy for leasing Colorado wa ter power to private interests and said that its present high state of development was due to private en- terprise.
 Business Policy
 "Gov. smith, he said, lis mak- ing bugaboo out of the water power control. If the water power develop,hrht had been left to the government. we would never have gotten along as rapidly as we have. It should not be a question of poll. ties. whether democratic or republi- can, but of sound business policy"
 An unidentified customs official later interceded in the examination of the senator's baggage and the inspection was expedited. and, al- though reluctant to discuss the for eign purchases of the senator, it was learned from authorities that he paid considerable duties before leaving the pier The exact amount was not learned.

MARK TWAIN MORE

Ploi. Wsls Of Trinity Nllrats
 Life Of Humorist

If Mark Twain had had a rich father or if his life had not been tragic he never would have become the great literary success he was, according to Professor George Ross Wells. of Trinity college. Professor Wells spoke to tho New Britain Lions club today on the subject of Mark Twain"
 He told of the early life of the fla mous writer. how he was born and reared in poverty, his experiences as . Mississippi river pilot and from that point to the time he was decor Ated by Oxford university.
 Mark Twain was more than . comic columnist: he was more than . man who turned out wisecracks and funny stories. Part of his suc- cess was due to the fact that all his stories were taken from every day life. problems of interest to you and me.
 His life was tragic. which helped make him one of the greatest hu- morists of all time. We laugh when things are out of balance. The real humorist is the man who can see things when they are out of propor- tion. Man pictures himself as the thing he wants to be not as he Is. That is the reason why the various religions of the world create their own heavens. to have things as they want them to be.
 He was successful particularly be- cause of his ability to express the spirit of eternal youth"
 The speaker explained the drive now on in Hartford to perpetuate the Mark Twain home and gave the local Lions club members an oppor- ftunity to contribute towards its sup port. He said it will be a part of the Hartford public library, including the children's museum section. I Several solos were given by Charles J. Stuhlman, accompanied by Miss Myrtle Turner.

frey Locker-Lampson, British under secretary of state for foreign at- fairs, said that if the agreement was accepted there was every reason to suppose that the preparatory com mission could meet with every chance of success. If it was not accepted, he said, it would be face to face with the same problems as before.
 '"The efforts of the governments to ascertain what concessions might be fruitful might be jeopardized by an immediate confession of failure before the preparatory commission. he said. For that reason the British preferred to have the commission convened when there seemed good prospects of framing draft con- vention on disarmament.

I have no desire to fashion the rest
Of the world after Manhattan. Ones
tastes are SO much a matter Of the
circumstances Of life all around.
When in Rome one does not need
to become a Fascist; but it's more
comfortable!
And again, week upon week, I've
tried to show that above and beyond
all the fluff and fuss and fury
recorded about this city. there con-
tinues to rise giant whose shadow
now falls over all the world.
Whether our New York girls are
good, bad or Indifferent; whether
we drink too many cocktails and un.
dress our chorines and run our night
clubs, are more or less unimportant
though alluring-sidelights.
What thrills me, and what should
thrill all who are not blind, is that
here on our eastern coast rises the
strangest metropolitan experiment
|.of all time. Here is q monument
to strength and young ideas and
power and gold and materialism and
brains and Drawn and the cropping
vitality of new world! Steel and
stone are its symbols and man is
relegated to his ant-like place in the
scheme-just as the soil and the corn
are symbols of my friends homeland.
The rest is just part Of the pageant
that passes in the foreground!
