 ] Then will come what the Aus tralian terms his flight for life time'-his marriage in September :. to Mary Powell, pretty daughter of
 Melbourne merchant.
 Kingsford-Smith's aerial argosy started from Oakland, Cal, during . May, 1928. His next flight, to be made in June, will be from Ire
 land to New York, approximately
 3,150 miles.
 The last lap will be from the
 Atlantic seaboard to his starting
 point on the Pacific coast.
 The east-west Atlantic flight, Kingsford-Smith says, will require
 more blind flying but, T am used
 to that. It will not be as difficult as the Hawaiian-Fiji island hop
 in 1928, as navigation will not be
 SO problenatical." The hop to the
 Fijis was 3,188 miles from Hawaii. Pilot of the Southern Cross" in

WOMEN CENSUS TAKERS
 INCREASE IN EAST ONLY

WASHINGTON, May 15.-While the increase in women census talk CTS is marked feature of the 1880 census in the East, the West Coast had them 10 years ago. Figures in the office of the Di- rector of the Census shows that women census takers will exceed men in the District of Columbia. In Boston there will be half as many women employed as men though in 1920 there were only 56 women to 561 men.

HOLLY WOOD, May 10. Like the muchly missed villains whose real lives are hymns of devotion to family and fireside, the screens outstanding grouches are amiable and gentle souls when out of character.
 The late Theodore Roberts, who chewed his big cigar ferociously in many movies of pleasant memory, had funeral the impressiveness of which was sufficient testimony that his true character bore no faint resemblance to the impatient and volatile, cronic irritability of his impersonations.
 The same is true of George Faw- cett, on whom at Roberts death fall the mantle of dean of movie actors. Fawcett sometimes plays conventional and harmless, benign and innocuously lovable old grand daddies, but more often he is a muttering, snapping, quick-tem- pered exponent of the perpetual, ingrown grouch."

 And Robert McWade, who would probably beg a fly's pardon before swatting it, has been professional grouch for 20 years, beginning as the gruff, hard boiled managing editor in a newspaper play-nat- urally enough, since the screen and stage have agreed long since that managing editors must be that way.

 WASHINGTON, May 15.-Pre- senting one of the United States Senates profound thinkers and lSkillful user of words:
 ARTHUR HENDRICK
 VANDENBURG
 His hero, ideal, and greatest American is Alexander Hamilton There is nothing about Hamilton that he doesn't know. He has writ ten books about him. He has read everything written about him. He will talk to you about him for hours.
 He believes with all his heart that no man can know Hamilton and not better, safer and more dependable American citizen, for:
 Hamilton believed in the con- stitution of the United States, in indissoluble union, in unselfish public service, and in the integrity of the Republican Party"
 You can gauge the extent of his hero worship by reading "The Greatest American, Alexander Ham, ilton" and If Hamilton Were Here Today"

Striking
 He is a striking figure on the floor of the Senate-even hand some. His black hair is grayine
 fast and his head is growing bald
 He wears big black spectacles which he puts on and off inces-
 sanity while he talks, He is tall ana straight He smiles Ia great deal, but seldom laughs heartily. His voice is one of the best in the Senate. It can be heard beyond the galleries out in the corridor. He hates to be inter- Irupted while speaking-let's it be known often.
 In debate he is vehement and sarcastic, yet always polite. He assumes an air of impatience in |argument--pleads with questioners to let him develop his side and
 then he will answer all objections
 To see him and Pat Harrison lock
 horns-as they have frequently
 is a delight.
 He works hard, takes his job seriously, plays little. When time
 permits he slips out to see the Washington Senators play base ball game. If he has nothing to read about Alexander Hamilton in
 the evening, he may be induced
 to play a rubber of bridge.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1930-05-15

Master of Words
 He started thinking for himself while still youth. Thought on Roosevelt and Rooseveltian policies once caused him to lose his job as a billing clerk.
 His acquaintance with words was begun while writing news stories out of the Grand Rapids, Mich, city hall. He learned to master them while writing editorials on national and international affairs and books on Alexander Hamilton
 He is a self-educated man to some extent. The only schooling he ever had was high school education and one year at the University of Michigan law school. Yet he can put after his name MA. and LL.D-honorary degrees in recognition of achievement.
 At the age of 22 he was editor and publisher of the newspaper with which he started as editorial office boy. Twenty-eight years later he was in the United States Sen- ate, sitting where the man who gave him his first big job had sat.
 He. celebrated his 46th birthday on March .22.
