FLYING Around the World

Immediately following the $50 hour flight OF the
Question Mark, army refueling ship, Art Goeoel
broke into front page position Of newspapers over
the land with the announcement he would attempt q
nonstop flight around the world.
At that time the idea was considered foolish and
impossible Of realization.
Subsequent events have convinced aviation engl-
neers such a feat is entirely feasible.
The st. Louis Robin, in the air for considerably
more than half a month, has demonstrated the
staying qualities of the modern airplane motor.
The world could have been circled in the time that
ship has been in the air. The only requirement would
have been rather elaborate and expensive arrange
ments for refueling the ship at regular intervals all
around the circle.
Now there remains only the development Of a more
efficient fuel for airplanes and a nonstop flight
around the world without refueling is not only pos
sible. but probable.

The Once Over
LrMER1CKs OF THE VACATION RESORTS


LrMERrCKs OF THE VACATION RESORTS
There was q young girl in Southampton
Where the beach is ideal to be vampt on;
Her clothes were so slight
She forgot EN- one night
And now mother sees that they're clampt on.
There was a young man at White Sulphur
Who claimed to be quite a good gulphur;
When he putted in vain
Some one said, TRY again."
But he answered, quite sore, What the hulphur?"
There were two non-swimming young sills
Who went to the Shinnecock Hills;
They fell in the Sound
And were speedily drowned,
For they'd ears where they should have had gils.
I knew a cute girl at Schroon Lake,
Whose beauty made rugged men ache;
But the miss was so dumb,
By the verdict Of some,
She was smarter asleep than awake.
A damsel at Winnipesaukee
Went out with a lad for. a walk; he
Absorbed so much chatter
That just didn't matter,
He concluded he'd been to q "talkie."
There were two girls who played shinnecossett.
In whose bathroom there wasn't a faucet;
They could not take a scrub
In a faucetless tub,
So they bathed In a pail in the closet.

Elmer Twitchell knows a man who has been miss

A white toadstool grows in some fairways this time

YOU KNOW HIM
On the station each morning he's there with a
smile
And a greeting so phony it fairly drips guile;
Don't talk to this bird; quickly pass by and frown,
Or you won't read your paper the whole way to
town. Percy Waxman in Life.
Don't be silly, a frown won't repulse this gay lad;
He cannot be hurt, which is more than too bad;
He will sit down beside you and talk like a sill,
And if he does not, why, some other pest will.
SUCH Is FAME
Arthur Caperton, well-known birdman, flew a
party from Curtiss Field to Eastern Point, Conn, the
other day. He asked for a room overnight and the
hotel clerk, handing him a key to a room on the
floor, asked solicitously, "You won't mind be-
ing that high up, VIII you?"

Venus THE EARTH'S TWIN
BY Arthur Dew. Carpenter

BY Arthur Dew. Carpenter
Venus, the worlds twin, has in
teresting physical conditions: It
lacks go miles Of being equal In
diameter with the earth: has q
density 88 per cent that OF the
earth; a hundred pound weight
transferred to Venus would weigh
IS pounds. The atmosphere Of
Venus is continuously cloudy, pre-
venting a view of its physical topo-
graphy. If there are continents
pom it, with rivers and seas, they
have never been seen but obScurely.
The upper atmosphere surrounding
Venus does not indicate the pres
ence Of oxygen. If the lower levels
Of its atmosphere are without oxy-
gen, it would preclude the posi-
bility of animal life. But there Is
very little oxygen in the earth's up

Mexico For Mexicans

Congressman Box bill to apply the quota basis
to Mexican immigration may become dead legisla-
ton by the time it is enacted.
Mexican officials seem about to help in solving the
immigration problem" to an extent dreamed Of even
by Congressman Box.
President Portes Gil has announced he will pop
ulate a large ranch in the state Of Tamaulipas with
Mexican nationals which will return to their native
land from Texas.
The ranch will be divided into small farms accord
ing to the presidents plan, sold on long terms and
easy payments, and backed by the government.
Portes Gil admits it is an experiment and that he
will try it with only a few families at first. If the
first few families returned make q success Of it. the
move will be inaugurated on a larger scale.
1t is a commo sense move by the Mexican presi-
dent and one which may succeed to a greater de-
gree than some people believe possible.
If it is a success MI. Box will be able to quit worry
ing about Mexican hordes overrunning the border
country"

Washington Letter
Bv C.. PITJMNrER

WASHINGTON, July 31.-As far as the seating
arrangement in the United States senate chamber is
concerned, Senator Phillips Lee Goldsborough, the
new member from Maryland, just barely got in.
For the man w1o defeated the venerable William
Cabell Bruce in tie elections Of last November occu-
pies the most remote desk in the chamber. 1t is No.
69-the last one on the last row of the crowded re-
publican side.
His is one of the desks moved over from the DEM
ocratic side to care for the republican increase in
membership at the start of the extra session. There
he will remain during the life Of the seventy first con-
gress.
Maryland's junior senator is as unlike his prede-
cessor, William Cabell Bruce, as one could imagine.
And his career in the senate will no doubt be as
markedly different.
Where Bruce is Of the old school and found his
chief delight in pedantic channels, Senator Colds
borough is representative of the business man at
tracted to the field Of politics.
A BANKER +
He is chairman Of the board Of one OF the greatest
banking houses Of the south, located in Baltimore,
and has made Of banking his very life. In fact, he
freely admits that were it not for the fact that Bal
tin1ore is so close to Washington, a seat in the United
States senate would hold no attraction for him Moth
ing could persuade him to sever his interest in this
field.
bruce was an aVOWed Zoe OF prohibition and dur
ing his stay in the senate he never lost an opportuni-
ty to let his views be known. Goldsborough, on the
other hand, was elected on a dry ticket. While he is
not a dry Of the uncompromising type, he clings to
the belief that as long as the eighteenth amendment
IS a part Of the constitution it should be enforced.
Goldsborough's friends say that he will not be
heard as frequently on the floor of the senate perhaps
as was Bruce. He is inclined to shun the limelight
as much as possible. His modesty has always been
one of the mans outstanding characteristics.
OPULA
He is conceded to be one of the most popular men
In Maryland, and in some sections he is referred to as
the states first citizen" He has the distinction of
beng one Of the only two republicans ever to serve
as governor of MARYLAND since it became a state.
Senator Goldsborough's secretary has been given
instructions that as long as he is in the senate no one
is to be refused an audience with him. This has long
been his policy and has been a vital factor in his pop
ularity. AS Maryland's only republican senator and
one of the states three republicans in congress his
duties are among the heaviest of any of his COL
leagues.
But he is a demon for work. He knows not the
meaning of hours and seldom if ever INDUCES in any
form of recreation.
At the present he is in Europe on an enforced va
cation. His doctors told him that he must get away
from work for at least a short while.
But the first of August will find him back in his
office on capitol hill and in Baltimore, dividing his
time with each.
For him there can be no waste OF time.

FAIR DISPUTE
Gotham Calls Off Its 1888
Exposition After Protests
From Middle West.
BIZ United Press

BIZ United Press
NEW YORK, Aug. 21.-New York
has conceded defeat in the contest
with Chicago over the staging OF
expositions.
A twenty one month war has been
ended by the announcement here
that plans for the George Washing
ton Memorial Exposition, scheduled
for 1892, have been changed to pro-
vide for the celebration in 1895.
Thus the Chicago exposition,
known as 1.-The Chicago Century of
Progress, will be held in 1888 with
out competition.
Logan Billingsley, president of the
Bronx Chamber of Commerce and
chairman of the Greater New
York Worlds fair committee, issued
the following statement:
1--WE have decided to let Chicago
have her fair in 1888. We will post
pone our fair, scheduled for 1882
to 1885. Chicago raised so much
fuss, took the matter so much to
heart and had spent SO much money
that we decided to give way. When
they get through we will show them
how to put on worlds fair right"
The Chicago exposition will cele-
brate the one hundredth anniver-
sary of the Incorporation of the
village of Ft. Dearborn as the city
of Chicago. New York's fair was
planned to commemorate the two
hundredth anniversary of George
WaShington'S birth.

CRAHAM-PAIGE
INTRODUCES ITS
: 1880 MODELS
Three Skies and Two Fights
Are RepIete With
improvements.

Graham-Paige today introduces
is 1880 models, presenting a line
OF three skies and two Fights, re-
plete with chassis and body improve
ments. All models except the low
est-priced six have the standard
shift four-speed transmission. which
has been a feature of the line for
two and half years, the Graham
Paige company having led the whole
industry in recognizing the advan-
tages of the four speed drive and in
perfecting its mechanism.
The 1880 models. although repre-
scnting substantially increased val
ue. are offered without change of
price, beginning with 1855 for the
tWo-door sedan on the 612 chassis,
which is now built three inches
longer than formerly and has
larger engine.
One of the most striking features
Of the new Graham-Paige line is an
exclusive innovation-the use of adj
lJstable seats, rear as well as front,
IN all six-cylinder models and the
I27-inch wheelbase eight.
New Model Chassis.
Summarized, the outstanding sfea-
lures of the Graham-P Paige line for
1880 are as follows:
A completely new model 6l2
chassis of 115-inch wheel-base and
larger engine, giving increased
power at lower engine speed (66
h. p. at 1900 +. p. M.
Bodies of advanced structural de-
sign.
Superior riding comfort, attained
not only through the adjustability
of both front and rear seats, but
through the use of over padded seat
cushions, form-f1tting seat and back
contours. and extra seat and back
springing.
Clear vision instrument panels,
without ornamentation but striking
ly handsome in appearance.
New-type glass visor in chromium
brackets Except 612).
Three-s poke steering wheels
(safety-type), models 612 and 615.
Latest Refinements Used.
Inspection of the new 612 chassis.
and of the other two skies and the
two Fights, shows the consistent use
throughout the line of the latest re-
f1nements and Improvements in de-
sign and equipment.
For once, however, a new line of
cars is presented in which the
achievements of the body engineers
are likely to arouse more interest
among motorists in general than are
the mechanical details, even with
one new chassis model in the
lineup.
The 1880 Graham-P Paige models
