ARMY AND NAVY
TEAMS MEET IN
CHARITY GAME
BY L. 5. CAMERON

NEW YORK, Dee 10. up
Broken up by a quarrel over eligi-
bility rules but renewed IN the
name of charity, the Army-Navy
football rivalry was revived here
today before a million dollar crowd
Promoted with dramatic sudden
ness in response to a general de-
mand for a great sports attraction
which would supply a great fund
OF money for the benefit Of the
nations unemployed, the contest
promised to be the most vivid
sports spectacle of 1880.
Both Army and Navy tossed aside
objections to playing rules. They
forgot their dislike of adding to
already heavy playing schedules.
They reVamped scholastic arrange
ments. They placed the responsi-
bilities Of business details with the
salvation Army committee and
started practice for the game.
The result of this effort will be
brought to climax at l p. m. to-
day when the kickoff for the Army
Navy game-the first one since 1927
will occur.
An interesting development of
this game is the definite lack of
betting on its outcome. A great
many midshipmen dollars will be
risked .against' as many cadet dol
lars, for by. tradition students at
the service schools bet on an even
money proposition. Most of the
betting done around New York has
been on a to basis, with Army
the favored team. But apparently,
the professional gamblers have
summed this game, preferring to
stay with such things as boxing
and hockey.

new ALBATROSS
PLANS ASSAULT
ON AIR RECORD

GLENDALE, Calf, Dec. 49, UP)
A new assault upon the worlds
air Iefueling endurance record will
be started here tomorrow after
noon, when a crew of six men will
take aloft what is declared to be
the largest tri-motored monoplane
ever built
The ship is a kigh-wing Alba
tross, powered by three Western
Enterprise, 70-horsepower motors.
Captain Jimmie Angel, a flyer OF
is years experience and a member
OF the Royal Air Force during the
war, will captain the flight. With
him will go George Shleppey, pilot;
Paul Wiser, pilot and radio oper-
etor; Ed Frame, pilot and in charge
of refueling hose; Sam HOPKINS,
pilot, and Bob Perlick, pilot and
mechanic.
Tanks to carry Z load of 500 gal
Ions of gasoline and 100 gallons
of oil have been installed. This is
declared to be sufficient to keep
the ship aloft 20 hours without re-
tueling.
All three motors have been made
available to the mechanic for re-
PAIRS by catwalks on the outside
CT the ship. One motor can be
cut off entirely without the ship
losing altitude and a single motor
can keep it on a.level keel, the
pilots said.
The main object OF the test is to
prove that it; is practical to make
major repairs On aircraft motors
while in flight.
The present record of CAT hours
% minutes 80 seconds was set last
August by Dale Jackson and Forest
OBrine at ST. Louis.

Advice to Lovers

Lovers planning marriage should think twice. The
price OF home making probably is going up.
Now that the business depression is admitted Off
cally solution is being offered Building is to do
he trick-more construction and then some more.
That will provide jobs for the unemployed, And it
will revive the dozens of industries furnishing mate
rials for building.
And as its special contribution TO ending hard
lines by starting building boom, congress is about
make the country present of its billion dollar
that's right one thousand million dollars-Grundy
tariff bill
If there is anything used in building that is not
boosted in price by that bill, it has not been dis
covered in this free-for-al tariff grab.
The nations lumber bill will go up 100000 a
year, brick, $12,5OoOOO; plate glass s15Oooooo; ce
ment $1O8,OoOO00. We got INTO depression when all
those materials except plate glass; were on the free
list If people think prices too high to build now,
what will they do when they crushed under that
extra tariff load?
Grundy and his helpers haven't left out anything
you can think Of The5 have started their increases
with the foundation of the house and gone through
the ceiling to the roof, inside and outsdestone, wall

What do congressman care? Most Of them already

So congress may vote the blon-dolar boost in the

EDWIN MARKHAM was 78 last
~ week and they gave a party
for him. All Staten Island turned
out to do honor to the poet who
wrote ''The Man With the Hoe. "
And this is as it should be. Mark
ham is fine poet and a grand old
gentleman.
Unlike the figure in the poem
who was bowed by the weight of
centuries" Markham carries his
head and shoulders high. This bard
still is burning.
But though was all for the cele-
bration, I couldn't help feeling a lit
tie envious. Edwin Markham used
to be a newspaper man. Indeed,
"The Man With the Hoe" first saw
light in a San Francisco paper in
1899. It created such a sensation
that the author became q national
figure. He was able to turn straight
and quit the business of reporting.
And this gets me down to my own
personal worry. Journalists do not
grow old gracefully. Nobody gets
up parties for them in their 18th
year-which they seldom attain.
There is something Of endearment
in such terms as veteran actor"
venerable clergyman" "aged bard"
but the phrase, "old newspaper
man. has in it time of contempt.

suppose, is intended to serve as a
barrier against over-haSty marriage.
But it seems to me that the good
clergyman is taking in too much
territory. If the man and woman
who contemplate marriage can't
make up their minds without the
assistance of a clerical outsider. I
should urge them strongly to give
up the experiment on the instant.
DR.. Bowie might be competent to
instruct the young people in their
duties and responsibilities, but mar
riage is more than new obliga-
ton. It is in the best and truest
sense an adventure.
More than that, it is an adyen-
ture in which the presence Of a
chaplain is distinctly unnecessary,
save for the few minutes which he
requires to perform the ceremony.
He has no business bustling around
the argonauts beforehand. Or after,
either, for that matter.
Marriage is decidedly a game for
two. Kibitzers, clerical or otherwise,
are distinctly burden. An excel
lent rule, in the beginning, at any
rate, is neither to seek nor tolerate
advice.
I have no doubt that DR.. Bowie's
intentions are of the best, but for
all that he may find his brashness
leads him nowhere but to a paving
contract for birthstone bungalows.
