BUILDS HIS PLANE FROM TWO WRECkS
Kingsiord-Smith's Southern
 Gross" Is Veteran Of Air

New York, June 27 CPl - Capt. Charles kingsford-S Smith picked a plane with a history when he decided to attempt an Ircland-to-NeW York flight in the Southern Cross.
 It was this same monoplane that carried him and three companions on his historic 1889 mile flight from california to Australia, then back to London. ln 1928,
 The history of the Southern Cross however, started long before those lops.
 The plane was rebuilt from two Fokaers constructed for Capt George H. W5lkns for his 1928 polal a&7odit1on He bought a single u.otored transport and another Folk kar with three Wright whtrlwind motors. After these planes crashed i7 1927 they Were shipped 10 Seattle rom Alaska.
 Captain Kings ord smith, then rlannlng his Australia flight, decided ta build his ss4q from remnants of Wilkins planes, He took the fuse aze ot inc slnEIe-m0-o Fohh@r, and the wings and landing gear of the larger p.ana-and equipped the resulting ship with t1ree ne" Wright wh.rlwtnd motors. Thus the Southeru Cross was born.
 Its tanks were equipped with lump valves as first deslgne4 ny Rear Admiral Richard F. Byrd for als transatlantic yoD-.rr.
 Even before the Southern Cross uas built 5ts parents saw consi4- erao'e seryIce. Several flights were made 3n 1926 in Alasi.a, and two Ftgrrs Of -u4 miles wore made oEer Arrttc wastes from Point Barrow

 A German trooper had been awarded the medal of the Life Say ing Society for rescuing q child from drowning. He attached 1t to lis bathing trunks. This struck a ReichsWehr officer as unseemly, and he reported the man.

NEW LABOR HEAD
 ONCE SW|TCHMAN
Doak, Named Secretary, Worked
 Way Up, Scorns Society

Washington, Dec. 12.-The ap- pointment of William N Doak as secretary of labor brings to Presi- dent Hoover's cabinet a man who might be described as an intellectual switchman.
 Mir. Doak stopped being a switchman years ago, but he has never stopped being intellectual. Frivolous diversions have small place in his life; he is and always has been a hard worker, and his studious habits have made him one of the best informed men in Washington.
 In big white house with pret- ty flower gardens perched on 8 high cliff overlooking the Poto- mas. Mir. Doak makes his home with Mrs. Doak, two handsome dogs and an experienced and sa- gacious parrot.
 Flowers His Hobby
 The grand passions of MT. Doak have been flowers, the labor movement and Republican politics. Entering the Hoover cabinet, he seems to be the most unaffected, the most human, the poorest-al- though he is we'll to do-and the least high-hat of the lot.
 The Doaks now have high so- cial position, but Washington so- ciety doesn't offer much attraction in their case. MT. Doak likes best to butter around with his delphi niums and hollyhocks and at night he has been used to bringing home the work devolving upon him as editor of the Railroad Trainman.
 Mrs. Doak cleans her own house and makes her own clothes. They seldom go out and nearly always retire early. They don't dance or go to movies, but sometimes they like to see a play and they are especially fond of the National Geographic lectures heard here in uintertime. Mrs Doak has never been a clubwoman, but enjoys per- sonal private charity.
 Doak is AS years old. He has wavy light brown hair. blue-gray eyes and wears glasses.
 He is an inch or two Tess than six feet tall. He wears a high stiff collar and double breasted mouse by Herbert Hoover. He talks simply and directly.
 Married P Years
 Mrs. Doak is a youngish-loo ing blond, though she has been married for 22 years. She likes to stay at home and tend her old fashioned garden of perennials and roses; to play with the big white Scotch collies, Margie and Waltham; to talk to Polly Doak, the gorgeous parrot which now lives in the Doak dining room be- cause Doak once went shopping for canary seed and heard Polly say, Pretty boy, I love you SOL" She also likes to watch the ca naries inside the house and the wild birds for whom Doak has built bird boxes outside.
 The home, built and developed by Doak on a site few miles from Washington of such altitude that It was used for a fort in the Civil War, is called Notre Mid. That means "Our Nest" They proba- bly, will take an apartment in Washington to use until Doak gets used to the new job.
 Doak has been national lezisla- tive representative (which means Washington lobbyist) for the Brotherhood of Railroad Train men, as well as editor and man. ager of that unions monthly mag azine. He has always worked hard and his labor experience as leader in the brotherhood has been wide. He has represented the trainmen in innumerable wage ne- gotiations and likes to recall that

while small photographs concealed in their bodies roar and squeak in the manner of wild animals.
 Boys who like mechanics will find virtually all types of machinery in toy form. Railroad systems include both American and European types of equipment and all models of cars operate over the rails.
 Mechanical lighthouses are com plete with warning signals, lights, bells and whistles.
 Toymakers have tried several new methods of making dolls that will perform in even more life-like fashion than usual.
New Britain herald., 1930-12-12

Besides the improvement in me chanical toys, there is a larger va riety than in the past. Forty thou sand different samples were ex- hibited by 900 manufactures this year at the toy show held at the Leipzig fair in Leipzig, Germany.
 Christmas tree ornaments, too, have kept pace with the growing variety of toys. One manufacturer has prepared 2.500 different designs.

whereas he Marted work for $1.3U a 12-hour day the trainmen of to- day cam S6.96 for an eight-hour day. Doak has been in many of the wage conferences which helped gradually raise the wage rate.
 Began as Switchman
 Doak was born on farm near Bristol, Tenn, and entered rail- road service as a yard switchman at Bluefield, ". Va. His road was the Norfolk & Western, and Senator Hatfield of West Virginia was then the division surgeon. Doak soon entered the trainmen's brotherhood and had become the local legislative representative. In 1908 he was the general chair man for the N. & W. system and chairman of the unions West Vir- ginia legislative board. He moved to Roanoke, Va. In 1916 he was elected vice president of the brotherhood and was appointed national legislative representa- tive. He has since acted as pres ident and assistant president of the brotherhood.
 Few non-mem bers have a wider personal acquaintance in Congress than Doak. The lobby ist's career here is usually a quiet. unexciting one, and so Doak's legislative work was not spec tacular. He has devoted himself primarily to pushing legislature demanded by the trainmen, but has also helped promote other labor measures.
 Opposition to Doak within labor ranks has been based partly up- on his close association with Re- publican politicians and his rela- tions with such conservative members of Congress as Senator Jim Watson of Indiana He SUD- ported Coolidge instead of La Toilette in 1924. He was on quite friendly terms with Coolidge and has had large photograph of Coolidge in his office. During the Wilson administration he became acquainted with Hoover and there has been a friendly relationship ever since. In the 1928 campaign he had charge of the Republican National Committees labor bu- reau.
 "A Fighting Republican"
 q have always been a fighting Republican" Doak says. My fath- CT was a Confederate soldier in Pickett's division. and I had five uncles in the Confederate army. But after the war, my father began vot- ing for Grant"
 Doak takes pride in his service the Railroad Board of Adjust ment, which settled 5000 labor disputes during and after the war
 My principle has always been that there is common ground on which two contending sides can meet" he says. And my at tempt has always been to find that ground. When both sides put their cards on the table it be- comes easy because the merits of any given case are readily seen"
 Doak has nothing to say about the dissatisfaction of President William Green of the American Federation of Labor over his ap- pointment, but he does resent any reflection on the railroad brother hoods.
 There's nothing like the broth erhoods," he says. The country is proud of them and the railroad executives wouldn't lose them for anything. They have always rec ognized their responsibility for keeping the nat.on's transporta- tion system going and no section of organized labor has a finer rec ord"
