Fame and Fortune
Await Fort Worth
Endurance FIiers

FORT WORTH. Tex, May 81
LP,-Having added almost full

record, r. L. Robbins and James
Kelly eschewed the praise Of an ad-
miring nation and slept today
while experts made careful exam
nation OF their monoplane Fort
Worth which the two brought to
earth yesterday after soaring al
most seven and one-half days.
The two pilots. one an ex-cow-
boy, the other a former railroad
mechanic, added a new line to the
illustrious record which started
with the Wrights' one minute flight
at Kitty Hawk In 1908 when they
kept the Fort Worth aloft through
rain. wind, sunshine. hail and
lightning for 172 houts. 80 minutes
and one second. besting the record
Of $50 hours. 40 minutes and ID

The army plane had three mo-
tors, a crew Of five men and an
expert ground crew. Robbins had
six years experience as a flyer. but
Kelly came off the range only a
year and e half ago. and the course
in flying which he took technically
ended In April. although his skill

run 500 hours after being discarded
by AL Henley. It was as good as
ever when il returned to the
ground. Some OF the adjustments
were worn. but it could have rur

The two flyers divided credit fol
the success or their flight. Kelly
pointed out that Robbins ability tx

CHAPTER XXXIV
MOLLY wondered why she hated
Iva Bob's hands. And why she
thought they were horrid, because
hey were white. 1t might, of
course, have been because they were
also moist. And cold.
Clammy, she thought. And, shud-
dering slightly, drew her fingers
away.
"You don't like me, do you
Molly?"
Bob's face was flushed now, and
his mild blue eyes were brighter
than she had ever seen them.
"Why, of course I like you, Bob"
"Well, not much you don't"
mot very much" she admitted,
trying to laugh, as though it we're
a quite unimportant matter. "You
see, you're not bit my kind of a
man, Bob. Not the type, I mean,
that I particularly like. That is j. i.
oh, dear, I'm afraid I'm not being
very tactful Anyhow do like
you.'
What type do you hke?" he de-
manded.
ooh, sort of an athletic type"
she declared smiling. "a big,
brawny herman. The tender, power
full sort. You know"
Il mean it," he insisted. Don't
kid me, Molly
She laughed.
Personally" she said, "Ive a
lamentable weakness for the shock
ing, fascinating kind. Most women
have, I guess. But the wise ones
never marry them"
Nov, Molly he reproved, you're
simply being adolescent. I'm quite
serious"
"Well, I'm not" she bantered.
Besides, it's time your young
daughter was in bed"
I'm dood dirl," announced Rita
solemnIy.
You're an angel-girl," corrected
Molly. But it's time to go to bed,
just the same"
She swept the child into her arms
I'll tell you about the gingham
dog and the calico cat" she prom
ised, land the hushaby lady from
lullaby street"
Rita sighed contentedly.
"All wight" she said. 'Dood
night, daddy"
e
CHE climbed into his lap, and
- kissed him dutifully. Molly
had noticed that the warmth of
little Rita's kisses was reserved ex-
clusively for her. She hoped that
Bob would not notice. 1t would
probably hurt his feelings.
"You don't mind if I waltz" he
asked, as she carried the baby away,
mo, don't mind" she told him.
Reds coming for dinner. Would
you like to stay too?"
You're seeing an awful lot Of
Flynn, aren't your"
ooh, yes!" she exclaimed. Hes
such good company. I love having
him around"
And you think I'm rotten COM
pany, don't you, Molly?"
You're no little ray of SUM-
shine" she countered.

Tarzan was an interested spectator.
He decided to follow further this say

BOWIE RACE TRACK. Md, April 10.
Miserable racing conditions accom-
panied the running of today's race pro-
gram. 1t was raining and when the
field went to the post for the first race
the track was fairly muddy
The change in track conditions
brought about the withdrawal of two
entrants from The Midway, the feature
event Of the card. They we're Tiffin
and Comet, leaving only five OF the
original entry list to start.
The card was fair one. In addi-
ton to The Midway there was another
outstanding event in the Clifton Forge.

and upward, which attracted field of
eight. The Aspirant, a race Of Z fur
longs for 3-year-olds, also drew an at
tractive field. seven having been entered
in this sprint.
Meridianese Scores.
Meridianese was much the best in the
first race, a sprint Of furlongs for q
year-old fillies. Breaking fast, Merid-
ianese opened UP q lead Of four lengths
by the time the field had reached the
stretch and was never threatened.
Violeta, one who was well backed.

dentally the defeat Of Violeta was her
first in four starts.
The field was away none too well and
as they reached the three -eiRhths pole.

was able to get to his feet and walked
unaided from the track.
Meridianese was lightly regarded by
the betters and paid $1,000 to win.

eminent when It was informally asked
If Gen. Dawes would be acceptable. is
said to have been glowing in its compli-
mentary nature. On all other sides. the
proposed appointment was received in
the happiest sort of fashion, all Of
which caused the White House to feel
confident that the selection OF Gen.
Dawes was a good one.
In selecting Gen. Dawes President
Hoover Is sending man to be the Of
fetal representative to O foreign coun-
try who has held the highest position
In the United States ever held by any
man appointed to diplomatic service.
President Moved Carefully.
Mr.. Hoover has moved slowly in con-
sidering the appointments to the major
diplomatic posts, 1t being his desire to
obtain the services Of the best qualified
men. It is understood that he had in
mind the sending OF Gen. Dawes to
London for some time. 1t was merely
question of getting the latter to accept.
The general was extremely anxious to
return to Chicago when he retired as
Vice President on March 4 and to give
his full attention to his business in
terests.
When the general finally agreed to
accept the Presidents offer to 60 to
London. he did so with the understand
ing that he would be permitted to carry
out the agreement he made with the
Santo Domingo government to work out
q new fiscal arrangement.
Gen. Dawes will have the distinction
of being probably the best known as
well as the most picturesque American
to represent this country In Europe. He
became we'll known abroad because Of
his work as director Of service and sup
plies during the World War and
through his plan for the German rep
arations.

DEPOT ISPLANNED
BY BUS OPERATORS
Large Terminal at Tenth and
6 Streets Is Contem.
plated.

A group of operators of the country's
largest interstate motor bus transporta-
ton lines are planning to solve the bus
terminal problem in Washington by
erecting large depot to provide ia
cilities for their own buses as we'll as
those Of other companies, according to
information given John w. Childress,
chairman Of the Public Utilities Com
mission.
The real estate firm of Ellerson &
Wemple, Washington representatives Of
the bus companies, advised Mr.. Chill
dress that the concerns plan to acquire
the site Of the First Congregational
Church, at Tenth and G streets. for the
terminal. The site, 1t was said, con-
tains 10000 square feet. having 'front.'
age on both Tenth street and @ street.
and running back as far as Grant
place.
Space for Other Lines.
The terminal would be so arranged. It
was said, that section would be re-
served for the buses of the owners of
the building, and remaining space leas-
ed to other bus lines operating into
Washington. A waiting room, lunch
room, ticket office, information bureau
and other facilities would be provided.
The plans, however, are only in the
tentative state, ana no deflnlte action
to develop them further will be made,
1t was explained. until Mr.. Childress
returns from a bus terminal inspection
trip in other cities where he will study
the types of bus depot construction,
financing and regulation. Earl v. Fish
er, executive secretary of the commits
sion, viii accompany Mr.. Childress.
Definite Offers Made.
Definite offers to erect bus terminal
on two other downtown sites also hare
been made to the commission. In ad-
dition, real estate firms have informed
the commission of other sites that are
available for such q project.
One Of the offers to build the terminal
came from New York real estate Arm
which is planning to develop a public
market In the vicinity Of Eleventh
street and New York avenue. A local
construction company announced it
would provide terminal facilities in q
new office building it is planning to
erect on the site of the old Hudson
Hotel on H street between Thirteenth
and Fourteenth streets.
