"A remnant Of the Grand Army

The uniforms of faded blue hung
a bit more loosely from the stopped

Century Pacific Lines, phenome-
nally successful air passenger serv-
ice connecting San Diego, Los An

Oakland, San Francisco and Sacra-

Fuller, president Of the organiza
I ton.
PLANES will leave Phoenix for e.
Centro and San Diego and will con-
tinue on through service up the line
to San Francisco" declared Mr..
Fuller. There will be two sched-
ules daily each way until traffic
warrants additional operations and
planes.
! This is in keeping with the rec
ord Century Pacific has established
in the past two and one-half
months of operations" continued
Mr.. Fuller During this time we
shattered all air transportation rec
ordS of any lines, subsidized or un-
subsidized, in the world when more
than 11,000 passengers and almost
2,000,0 600 air passenger miles were
flown in our Stinson Airliners. with
a steady load factor estimate Of
604.
According 10 1lgures compiled by
our statistical department, the re-
venue miles flown in a period OF
sixty days of operation, since July
3 alone, amounted to 347,654, while
a total OF 36,294 landings and take

Owing to the incessant demand
Of the public for flying transporta

spectively."

COMPETITION IS
KEEN FOR SITE
OF CONVENTION

WASHINGTON, Sept. Is. U.p)-
A half dozen or more cities are
sending their emissaries to Republi-
can and Democratic national COM
mitteemen. hoping to win support
for their claims to selection as ma
tional convention cities.
Decisions are not expected to be
made by either committee until
winter. probably not until after the
first of the year. At the present
stage of preliminary jockeying
however, Cleveland repeatedly has
the advantage in the competition
for the Republican convention and
Kansas City for the Democratic.
Both parties hope that plans will
work out so that their conventions
can be held in the midwest. Both
feel that 1t is in that region that
the most votes can be won or lost
in 1882.
Competition for the Republican
convention is the most keen.
Kansas City, while rated as a ia
vor.te for the Democratic conven-
ton, is willing to receive the Re-
publicans as it did in 1923. San
Francisco also is expected to make
a bid for both conventions, al
though, like Kansas City. its best
chance may rest with the Demo
Gratis. It is the almost unanimous
choice for either among the Wash
ington corps of correspondents and
others who have no voice in the Sc
lection.
Bids for the Democratic conven-
ton have not been as numerous
Kansas City has told the committee
however, all about its hall which is
said to be ideal for such meetings;
Dallas and Houston, Tex, are said
to be willing to act as hosts; and
Atlantic City, St. Louis Cleveland
and Chicago are expected to be
heard from.

WASHINGTON, Sept. Is. U.P)-
President Hoover was considering
today the opinions of representative
bankers of the nation concerning
business conditions.
In the atmosphere of cigar smoke
in the lounge after dinner at the
executive mansion last night he en-
tertained the II members of the
federal reserve board advisory coun-
Gil and board governor, Eugene
Meyer.
What the bankers told Mr..
Hoover and what he told them
was hidden by the reticence of
the guests and the usual presi-
Dental privacy. The bankers
were here for a regular quarter
ly meeting.
1t was said at the White House
that no particular matters, except
general business and banking con-
ditions, were under discussion. The
council members, representing each
of the II federal reserve districts,
gave the President their views on
conditions in their own sections,
employment prospects and the
necessity they foresaw for relief
: during the winter. Each, it was
said, expressed confidence that re-

Western Electric
OmitS Dividend

NEW YORK, Sept. Is. U.P)-Di-
rectors OF the Western Electric Co..
manufacturing subsidiary of the
American Telephone & Telegraph
Co., today omitted the quarterly
dividend OF rs cents a share due
at this time on the capital stock.
American Telephone owns $780,
400 shares or 1884 per cent of the
outstanding Western Electric shares
and the omission of Western Elec-
tries dividend means an annual
loss in income Of $17,70l, 200 to AM
erican Telephone.
This is equivalent to 95 cents q
share on the outstanding 1883, 1865
American Telephone shares. Earn
I ings Of American Telephone for the
first half of the current year were
S489 a share and the Western Elec-
trio action may reduce telephone
earnings below the annual dividend
requirements of 50 a share.

BACARDI FIRST
MADE In BARN
LAST CENTURY

HAVANA, Sept. IA U.p)-The new
Edificio Bacardi, which is one Of
the most beautiful buildings here,
ana whose private bar, the last of
its modern accouterment, was COM
pleted short time ago, strikes q
fine contrast to the original Bacardi
building, a one story frame barn in
Santiago de Cuba, where the famous
rum made its bow in the latter part
OF the nineteenth century.
1t was here that an old Catalo-
nian jam maker eked out meager
livelihood for himself and his three
sons, Emilio, Facundo Jr.. and JOSE
working from dawn until dark drove
the great bats out of the barn loft,
brewing over vats and kettles the
jams and jellies they sold in the
streets of Santiago.
Came From Spain
Bacardi and his three sons came
from Barcelona, Spain, to Cuba in
the early SOS. 1t was Facundo Jr,
however, who spent long hours eX-
perimenting with new flavors, new
combinations and blending pro-
cesses, forever in search of an un-
usual and tasty jam.
During one of these experiments
he happened onto the delightful
combination which today is the basis
of Ron Bacardi." When he fin
ished the product his father was
overjoyed He pronounced it the
perfect blend, the acme of all the
finest liquors. He gave it his own
name and created a trademark
fashioned from the bats which
nested in the creaking rafters.
Perhaps BacardIs greatest tri-
umph came when the rum was pre-
scribed for King Alfonso XIII dur
ing the influenza epidemic in Spain.
Shortly later Bacardi was granted
the right to the title "PurveyorS to
the Royal House of Spain,' as well
as the right to publish the Spanish
royal coat of arms on the label.
Peculiarly enough, however, only
one living person knows the recipe
for Bacardi rum, and that man is
Facundo Bacardi III, grandson of
the discoverer and present vice
president of the company. Each day
he retires to the laboratory of the
Bacardi plant at Santiago de Cuba
and works over the huge mixing
vats. Up to the present time no
plans have been made TO pass the
! secret on TO his successor.

Of the derby in the plane piloted

Those who are not air minded

sons account of this great national
air race of which he was official
"speed" editor for various newspa-
perS.
Hendersons log of the derby,
written in the air, was sent out
nightly to newspapers but there
were many amusing incidents and
details which were not contained in
the official log" These Will be told
at the chamber dinner by the editor
and aviation generally will be
touched on by Henderson, who was
a flyer during the World War and
has kept an active interest in avia-

ton. -
If each of the 10000 posts all

Der 100000.
Against Dole
Another proposal advocated re-
peatedly before the commission was
to urge all unemployed in the
smaller towns and rural sections to
stay at home instead of drifting to
cities where work is even more
scarce.
Sentiment against the so-called
Dole" was general among the del
egates and financial leaders who
spoke, but there was agreement
that relief must be provided if
necessary.
The Legion was warned by Gen.
eral James G. Harbord, chairman
of the Radio Corporation of AM
erica, against cash payment of the
Veterans Adjusted Compensation
certificates.
"It would be ridiculous" Harbord
said, "for the Legion to adyance
a national program for unemploy-
ment in one hand and hold tin
cup in the other seeking a cash
payment from the government
Howard P. Savage, presiding, said
the conference was not dealing with
the cash payment plan but iii

The fact that Meyer now is un-

cording to the presidential spokes-
man at the White House.

this matter to his banker friends.

the view that the necessity for un-

sized so much that the situation
may have assumed undue serious
ness.
