modern America is spared distressing spectacle.

MAKING AVIATION HISTORY

Commendation is certainly due the Angeeno and
her crew, Reinhart and Mende for their splendid
performance in remaining in the air 10 days, to
set endurance record for arplanes of 246 hours
When the flight started on July 2 the
known outside small circle of friends, and their take
off to attempt to set record hardly noticed.
Not until they approached the former record of
ia hours any attention paid to them Yesterday
they down with the satisfaction of having given
the other armen something to shoot at, and to know
that their the lips of the entire world.
Aviation is making history rapidly these days.
Even this is written two crews, Polish and
French, enroue the Atlantic in effort to
be the first to make the Paris to New York flight
that has been proved the most difficult of all flights
Yancey and Williams in the Pathfinder, had no
difficulty in crossing to Spain, though they failed in
their objective, nonstop flight to Rome
Commercial lines in this country are developing
each day. They have now been united with railroads
for combination method of airra travel across the
country.
The record set by Renhart and Mendell is not
important from the fact that they stayed aoft
longer than any others. It's Importance to aviation
lies in the fact that the manufacturers have developed
engine capable of making such performance pos
sble
Their record will stand for some time, but it will
eventually be broken. Ten days is long time for
flight at this stage of aviation but the time coming
when it will seem astounding than the Wright
brothers original flights seem to US today.

is changing. Hams must be lean and tender.
Bacon must not be too fat. Chops must have plenty
of red, lean meat in them.
To be sure, this doesn't make any great difference
Only it traditional to appraise pigs value by his
general fatness. 1t will seem odd now to find lean

Watson. electrical engineer, were
admitted as evidence today at the
preliminary hearing of Major Owen
d. Bird, prominent broker and
sportsman, charged with the murder
Of "his best friend"
Attorneys for Bird attempted to
bar the evidence on the ground that
it was impossible for the accused
man to answer the statements as he
was - feet away from the operat-
ing table when Watson was talking.
Deputy District Attorney William
l.. Russell argued that Bird had ad-
mitted he was able to hear what
Watson said.
Watson declared he had been with
Mrs. Watson when Bird came home
and slapped his wife for accusing
him of being intoxicated. The engi-
neer said he and Bird came to blows
and that the major left the room
saying he would get gun and shoot
Watson.
Watson said Bird returned and
shot him in the face and then in
the abdomen as they struggled for

Advocated As Aid
For World Peace

RIVERSIDE, Cal, Dec. IL. U.p)-
Lower cable rates between the Paci-

of promoting international peace
was one Of the suggestions advanced
at the Institute of International Re-
lations, in session here.
"Cable and wireless news is highly
effective in creating a friendly un-
derstanding between na..ons," said
Y. s. McClatchy, Sacramento news
paper publisher and member of the
Pacific Coast immigration Associa-
tion.
Policies of the United States have
met with greater public favor in Or
iental countries, he said, since far
eastern cable rates were reduced.
General Victor A. Yakhontoff, for
mer military attache of the imperial
Russian embassy at Toxic, said the
conflict over the Chinese Eastern
railroad, recently settled, should be
considered can episode in the strug-
gle between Imperialism and Com
munism, rather than clash between
China and Soviet Russia"
"The main alleged motive Of the
seizure of the railway was commun-
ist propaganda" he said. at does
not now seem probably that the un-
fortunate incident will produce an
aggravation in the far eastern situa.
ton"
Denial that "Mother India" writ
ten by katherine Mayo, represents
actual conditions in India was made
by Prof. ID. X. Karven, founder of
India Women's University at Poona,
who also addressed the gathering.
"With the elimination of marriage
of girls under IA and boys under IL,
social conditions in India after next
April will be greatly advanced" he
said. "Literaey is growing and more
and more is India becoming RECEIPT
