kindergarten teachers to grades

overstaffing Of kindergartens was
left hanging In midair ut . meet.
ing yesterday Of the Board Of
Education In the Franklin Ad'
ministration Building.
Action on this policy, which
has been agitating the board
since Congress passed an act sug.
costing the transfer, was delayed

one to 32.7.
She denied overstaffing Of

Does Not Build
Successful Organizations
A Contributing Factor, Yes -. But
There Is Much More Behind Successful
| Business Enterprise!
Fair prices of course, contribute to the success of
any organization but to win and hold confidence and
patronage over period OF years, there must be
/ something else First the personnel must be court
eous and friendly . the store must be clean orderly
and arranged for the convenience of patrons Stocks
must be complete and fresh Service must be prompt
and efficient Since the opening of our first store in
Washington 25 years ago. it has been our aim to give
our patrons little in service and in fairness of
| price.
| Without your support we could not have hoped to
reach our present growth this we know. Every men,
Der of our organization realizes the responsibility we
| owe to you, the buying public.
| The men and women who serve you in Peoples Drug
Stores are not machlnes they are vital human beings
who try in every way to please you. They are part
ners in this enterprise and know that the progress of
| their firm and their personal success are dependent
upon satisfied customers Each forward step of our
company marks the advancement of many individuals
| in our employ.
The president of our firm, not so many years ago.
greeted each customer who entered our first small
store, with smile and friendly handshake. Although
this is physically impossible today, that same spirit of
friendiness still lives in organization expressed
through the courtesy of our salespeople.
Our vice presidents, sales manager, buying direc-
tors and other executives have all been promoted
from the ranks. Without exception, each of them
once served you from behind the counter. They are
regular everyday American citizens who like the same
things that you do. They have families are inter-
ested in the church, civic and social life Of the
munity ;. and are ever ready to contribute their
time and energy to any worthy cause Nothing
would please them more than to personally greet
each customer who enters stores today, but cir
cumstances and pressure of business to serve your
best interests unfortunately prevent this.
The march of progress of this great country of ours
demands that all of us contribute something for the
betterment of all. Peoples Drug Stores contribute
their share by successfully filling an important eco
nomic need. Volume sales and scientific manage
ment cut costs and permit lower prices to the con-
sumer. This is as it should be. Today your dollar

rect charge of the branch Of lands
dealing with all land matters affect
ing the nati0nal parks and monuments,
including the acquisition of private
land holdings in these reservations.
mite timber deal, involving nearly three
aid Q half million dollars, was ae-
complished shortly before illness forced
him to leave the ONCE.
His connection with national park
work dates from March, 1915, when he
became superintendent of Yosemite
National Park. For 1lla years he
served in that capacity, during the
first four years acting as his own engi-
strnction work in the park. Owing to
i'll health, brought on by his untiring
devotion to his work, he found it neces-
sary to take an extended leave Of alb
sense beginning in 1927
Before going to Yosemite Park, Mr..

the second Alaskan Geographic Expedi-
ton, in 1910.
In 1911, at the request of the Ar
gentine government, he went to South
America to make exploratory surveys in
Patagonia, primarily with view to the
development of underground water sup
plies along the zone of influence of the
Patagonian Railroad, at that time under
construction between the Atlantic Coast
and the Andes. While with the Geolog-
ical Survey, Mr.. Lewis also spent some
time in mapping in wyoming, Oregon
and Washington.
He was born in Marquette, Mich,
March 20, 1884, and graduated from the
University of Michigan In 1907 as .
civil engineer.
In 1918 Mr.. Lewis married Bernice
earle of Parkersburg, w. Va, who re-
turned to South America with him for

ing made the last lap of their flight
from Halifax in six hours.
The flight fulfilled. for Capt. Won
Gronau, crisp-spoken veteran of the
German Imperial Navy Flying Service,
an old dream and gained him the dis
tinction of being the first to land q
transatlantic plane in New York Harbor.
Added glamour was given the flight
by the fact that 1t was made in an old
reconditloned, ship used by Amundsen
in Arctic exploration and by Capt.
Frank Courtney in an abortive atten~
to span the Atlantic.
1t was estimated the flyers coverud
about 1000 nautical miles in a flynn

5000 Herald Arrival.
A shout from 5000 Threats heralded
the planes arrival. It headed across
the tip of Manhattan, circled the Statue
Of Liberty in salute and then came
down, landing gracefully about SO yards
from the Aquarium.
1t had been expected the plane would
land of the Statue of Liberty, and the
municipal tug Macon, with a reception
committee aboard, was headed there
when the plane came down. The tug
turned about and the flyers were trans
Ierred to her. After reception ashore.

housed in police hangar.
Capt. Won Gronau said they had M

said.

II can hardly express my feeling In
being here. The dream of my whole
pilots life has been to alight some day
IN this wonderful harbor Of New York
and see your grand city,.
He paid tribute to Lieut.. Comdr,
Reade of the United States Navy, who

by Won Gronau.
I'VE hope it is not very long before
a TRANSATLANTIC seaplane Is landiag in
New York harbor every day" he said.
But declared it would take 9 great deal
OF broad organization to make possible
a transatlantic commercial service over
the North Atlantic route.
Capt. Won Gronau said he and his
companions expected to remain in New
York several days and then hoped to

in the sextant wasn't very good, either.
But they were better than nothing and
served to show us our approximate posi-
tons. The radio didn't help us much in
navigation; we got no bearings at all,
though we were in touch with Ivitgut
and Resolution Island. The noise Of
the motors was so terrifflc that every
time Fritz ALBRIGHT tried to use the
direetional finder we would have to
throttle down the after-motor, and that
is not so good, you know, in long
flight.

We managed to stay above the fog
for time and the sun shone, but then
clouds came above us and the fog be-
low and We were shut in q world alone.
We glided down toward the water and
SKINNED along above the wave tops, so
close that we had to reel in some of the
radio antenna. At about 10 feet we
sped along for almost six hours, until
suddenly we saw ahead Of us icehergs,
hlue-green and huge. Then we knew
we We're near land and soon we found
1t. The rugged cliffs of Labrador rose
sheer from the sea before US, great and
grutf and grim, but they seemed glorious
to US.
THANK God, we are over to America"
we said, and had a drink of brandy to
celebrate it. But we don't know where
we are, even If We are here" was our
second thought, but our luck was still
with us and we soon found out. We

the rnasts of the radio there and that

not far from Cartright. Only when we
few over him could we set the operator
ct Gready; we had been trying for
hours, and the only time We stirred
him his fist was so bad Fritz couldn't
copy it. At Cartright we were wonder
fully taken care of by the Hudson Bay
Co. factors. When we first landed we
thought we had struck q band of rob-
bers, for all about us swarmed boys and
men with long boards. We found out
they we're only college lads from Amer

saint of Labrador.
We left Labrador Sunday morning
at o'clock, skirted the Labrador Coast
and tried to find Greenley Isle. I had
long wanted to see that, but we lost 1t
in the fog. So then, despite q 10-degree
error in our compass of Newfoundland,
we came on TO Nova Scotia. When we

because this country has recently be-

the Anti-Slavery Convention, which is
associated with the League Of Nations
In Geneva, 1t is necessary to become
a member of the convention before
joining the League, but 1t is permissible
TO belong to the convention without
joining the League. The convention has
set itself the goal of abolishing slavery
during the lifetime of this generation.
It's method of accomplishing this ideal
is to organize public opinion against
slavery through international co-opera-
ton. Thus, Abyssinia, with 100000
