Declares Major I,aDphier Will .ac- company Colonel in Ford Tri- motOred Plane Win Visit Every Capital in Europe.

Detroit, May U'P) - The Dc troit N,ws said today in dispatch from it's Washington correspondent that positive confirmation was ob- tdinou that Col. Charles X. Lind borgh is planning to fly 2 Ford tri- motorcd plane to Europe early this summer.
 Not Non. Stop
 The ocean crossing will not be made as nonstop flight, the News said, but will follow a far northern route broken by service stops in La . brador. Greenland and Iceland. The News said Major Thomas C. Lan- phier Of the first pursuit group. |. $. air, force, will accompany Lind : hergh. The start from the North American continent probably will be made from St. Johns Newfoundland early in June.
 Lindbergh's plans fer Erropca n trip were first announced by the United Press on March 30.
 In Ford Plane
 ae flight "A i'll be made in a Ford trl- m otorcd, all-motal airplane. Lind : bergh probably will be accompanied by Major Thcmas c. Lanphier, com- handing officer of the first pursuit squadron of the army air corps all though that has not been decided r. tlv.
 orma1 announcement Of the flight may await fl,c rptlrp fl,iS -nnn try Of Henry Ford, who is now in Europe. The Ford official. in De iroit have already intimated that plans for the flight have been com ple'ed and an itinerary decided upon.
 According to these plans, Lind bergh will stop in Greenland. Ice land, and at Croydon. England. be fore starting on his tour of Europe, The airman spent several months gathering information concerning flying conditions and landing fields in Greenland and Iceland. Recently it was learned he was assured by the Danish government that landing space was available in Greenland and that arrangements to accommo- date his ship could be made in Ice land.
 LlndberEh and the Ford company y have. had help from many sources in the United States and from several European governments in drawing ID their plans. A comprehensl,e survey of the entire north Atlantic regions vas made at their request. This survey was completed early last week and report was given to Lind tergh.
 Visit Ever, Capital
 The colonel and Major Lanpllier expect 10 visit every capital and inl- portant city in Europe and may go on to Asia by way of India or Rus sia. Arrangements were made some time ago for a trip to Japan and it is understood that this part of the program has not been changed.
 Whether Lindbergh will como back from his tour by steamer or by airplane could not he determined here. It is unlikely. however. that he will attempt a trans Pa cific flight as at first reported. His friends

Milwaukee Maidens Wear
CorSetS, but Butler
Co-Eds Don't.
OORSET, corset, whose got the

~ORSET, corset, whose got the
~ corset? mot l." at least fifty
Butler goods can answer.
Some Butler U. girl students
probably wear corsets, but not one
of fifty interviewed, said they did.
Which is evidence that Butler
girls are more modern than Mil
waukee maidens. One out Of
twenty of 1913 Milwaukee girls
questioned at the Milwaukee Vo-
cational School was a corset
wearer.
And Butler students also are
slightly in the lead in the matter
of silk underclotfing.
About rs per cent of the fifty
canvassed wear silken 'undies" all
the time, and the remainder do
some of the time.
TINE greatest number of stock
Il ings worn was thirty-six
pairs a year, while the least es-
innate was eleven. One coed
insisted that she wears out twelve
pairs of shoes a year while an
other uses only two pairs.
Those who had the most shoes
and stockings spent the least on
cosmetics. Eight boxes of powder
was the highest number used by
one girl. Another said she had
used the same box for two years.
In no case did a girl use over
two boxes of rouge and most of
them only one year.
Seventy-f1ve per cent of the
goods interviewed are doing part
time work for which they are
being paid.

COUNTY MELON
WAITS DECISION
OF TREASURER
Robinson Soon viii Name
Cc!Iector to Gather
Delinquent Taxes.

Appointment of a delinquent tax
collector, who shares with the Mar
ion county treasurer one Of the
sweetest legitimate political melons,
is being considered by Treasurer
Clyde E. Robinson.
Several others in addition to John
Henderson, who held the position
last year, are seeking the post, it
is understood, but Robinson has not
reached a decision.
The appointment is effected
through contract between the ap-
pointee and Treasurer Robinson.
The law provides that the treasurer
get 6 per cent of all delinquent
taxes, in addition to his salary,
Profit Is Large.
The contractor usually gets half
of the "costS," does all the collect
ing, and bears the Office expense OF
the work, hiring anywhere from SIX
to twenty Office workers.
In years past the profit from de-
linouent tax collection has amount
ed to approximately $4,000, half of
which goes to the treasurer as prof
it. and half to the collector, who
bears the expense Of the collecting.
"Costs" consist of $3.50 for each
delinquent, plus ten cents mile,
the average to a delinquent being
about So. This usually is divided be-
tween the treasurer and the collect
or.
BY such arrangement, the county
benefits to the extent Of the usual
penalties assessed on delinquent
taxes, the treasurer and collecting
getting merely slice Of the costs.
New Law to Cut Profit.
In 1880, the new law governing
the treasurer's office goes into effect
cutting down this income enorm-
ously, as already has been done in
the sheriff's and prosecutors offices,
now on a strict salary basis.
1t is said that the treasurer of
Marion county has one of the larg-
est incomes of any public official in
the state.
All 1927 taxes unpaid May 7 are
delinquent, and usually by this time
the delinquent collector has been
appointed. A great deal of Office
preparation is required before the
actual collection starts.
