ing exhibits The New York-Paris ship
has served Its master well. 1t carried
him over oceans, deserts. plains and
mountains. For more than thirty thou
sand miles 1t has withstood the strains
Of vibration, and It's sturdy motor has
run to a tune that is sweet to fi1e-
chanic's ear.
For some time. however. there has
been apprehension lest Lindy try the
ship too far. In 1t he was not partic-
ularly comfortable, and wellmcaning
public could see no reason why he
should not have new and modern
plane. ocn flyers have been known to
charac the Spirit Of ST. Louis in

the OF. crock has gone flying on to
greater accomplishments
Lindy has so endeared himself to hui
manity that the world insists that he
7Aall have the latest appurtenanccs to
safe flying, whether he wills 1t or not
Indy has both Judgment and skill, and
If he did not believe that the Spirit
was safe to fly he would not fly it, but
when man reaches peak of such
universal affection. then the public in
evitably comes to the conclusion that
his business is Its business.
Therefore. the presentation to Indy
OF the new plane and the gift by Lia1.1
to the Smithsonian of his old plane
will make for qualification throughout
the entire country. The Spirit of ST.
Louis will be on view for millions. who
will make the institution which houses

Movie Stars Plan Tour Of
England as Honeymoon,
Studying Rural Life.

| BIZ UHitCd Press
PARIS, May 16.-A send-of COM
bining the elements of a mob scene
and a movie jazz party was given
Adolphe Menjou and Catherine
Carver, American film stars, after
their marriage here today.
Menjou, idol of French movie fans,
and Miss Carver were married at
the city hall of the Sixteenth Paris
district. After changing into travel
ing clothes, they went to the griny,
dismal Care du Nord station to leave
for London.
A tremendous crowd was awaiting
them. AS the bride and bridegroom
started to enter the Golden Arrow
express for the French coast, an
American jazz band on the plat
form got into action, photographers
jumped to the tops of nearby trains
to record the departure, and porters
and trainmen left their jobs to join
the crowd.
Will Travel in England
Menjou and Miss Carver, after
elimination of their romance that
began on the motion picture lots at
Hollywood, planned to spend two
days in London and later to make
motor, tour through England,
studying country life. Before their
return to the United States they in
tend to go to Italy.

same room where Gloria Swanson
recently was married and also
where the late Max Linder, film
comedian, was wed.
Menjou gave his age as 38 and
the bride gave her age as Is. The
bride gave her real name as Cathe-
rine Drum.
The ceremony was performed
with a smoothneSs similar to the
marriage scenes from the movies.
Only one disturbing factor arose,
and that was in the late arrival of
a representative of the American
consulate.
Menjou Needs Drink
Despite this smooth ceremony,
however, Menjou said after the
ceremony:
Il was as nervous as a cat and
need drink now"
Mayor BroSSe of the Sixteenth
district city hall pronounced the
couple man and wife.
A crowd of admirers animatedly
watch the civil ceremony. A large
number of moving picture cameras
clicked a record of it.
Menjou was dressed as if for a
film. He wore a long-tailed coat
the morning coat" Miss Carver
wore peach-colored cloak, costume,
and hat, with fox fur. She had a
smothering bouquet of orchids.
Menjou responded without an ac-
cent to the mayors marriage ques-
tions. Miss Carver's American ac-
cent, as she also responded in
French, was strong.
Menjou placed the ring on Miss
Carver's finger and kissed her. Then
the mayor, in full evening dress,
with broad ribbon signifying Of
ficiaI decoration, draped across his
chest, made the customary mar
| riage speech.

Everyday indianapolis Has
Secrets, Fit Subject
for Sketches.
BY DAN NJ. KIDNEY

American doughboys in France a
decade ago used to pause, more or
less astounded or aStonished, when
they came across some French youth
or girl seated complacently before
an easel busy with paint brush or
pencil. Whether on the boulevards
of French cities, in the army-truck-
rutted streets of the villages or
amoug the peaceful hills along the
Loire this business of being arty''
was all a bit puzzling.
But America has come Of age, say
the sages, since the war. And to be
Of age means to take art as a seri-
Gus factor in life.
Therefore, it is not so puzzling to
the one-time doughboy or leather
neck to see sketchers busy with
board and pencil on the streets of
this most typically American city.
Any Subject VIII Do
If you haven't noticed them yet,
you will. For daily whole classes of
students in the advanced art de-
partment at Manual Training High
School are permitted to seek their
subjects on the streets. For two
periods they roam and work and
bring back the results to the teach
ers for criticism and approval,
Just now these embryo artists are
at work on the rapidly rising facade
of the beautiful new Scottish Rite
Cathedral. They park on stools
brought from school, or stand or sit
on whatever may be handy.
George B. Figg Jr., 1893 South
eastern Ave-, one of the leaders Of
the sketch class, says that an auto
mobile bumper makes an ideal seat
for an outdoor artist.
Beyond Junior Rating
Both he and Miss Iona Johnson,
1922 Lockwood Ave-, are juniors at
the school, but might be rated be-
yond that in their sketching.
Everything from the railway-car
hamburger establishment on the
east side of the school building to
the gigantic proportions of the IN
dianapolis terminal has attracted
their swift-moving pencils.
"We try to teach them technique
and then turn them loose to develop
their own pictorial sense" Instruc-
tor Lewis E. Finch explains. when
their pictures are completed they
are submitted and no mistakes are
corrected. They are pointed out and
in the next attempt the student
will not repeat an error"
All are encouraged to enter ex-
hibitions with work that is good.

CITY VALUATION is
AHEADOF ENGLAND

Great Britain has an antiquated
taxation system, the taxation there
being based on rateable or renting
value, he explained.
Although New York is only about
half the area of the enlarged city
of London, its real estate value is
three to four times the value of
London, he declared.
According to Payne, fair valua-
alton of all the real estate of Lon
don would be about five billion dol
lars, while that of New York, on the
same basis of calculation, would be
fifteen billions.
