|OPPORTUNE TIME
 TO HELP THE NEEDY
See If You Cannot Spare Something for Your
 Needy NeighbOrs
THANKSGIVING DAY

Now is the time to look around and see how far your spare cash will go towards helping needy fam lilies to have a happy Thanksgiving day. If you know of nobody who is quire from one of the many church agencies, they are. all reliable, and you will be surprised to find how many families will have . very scant Thanksgiving dinner unless somebody remembers them.
 There are those who claim that owing to the dull period and the fact that there is no appreciable reduction in the cost of living. they cannot spare anything for their less fortunate neighbors. There are some who feel this way, but this Is not true of all. although when you introduce these matters to housekeepers, they call attention to gas and electric light bills, water rent, taxes and other things and ask you to point out where there is any falling off in the cost. Well, that is not here or there so far as the question now before the pub lie i3 concerned. Some never have anything to spare, and if those who are in need were left to such peo- pie they would starve. Look around the house and see if you cannot find some clothing that your fam lily never will use. Send these to the charity organization and they will be distributed where they will serve good purpose. See the grocer and the butcher and arrange with them to deliver few dollars worth of things for the table to customers whom they know are not agle to provide such things for themselves. Those who do this, even at some sacrifice, will feel better after Thanksgiving. than if they took the stony-hearted view of the situation and forgot that they owe something to the poor
 whom the Master said will always
 be with us.

king BETTER NEWS
.HEARTENS ENGLAND
Restoration to Health by Next
Week Expected Following
Chest AiIment.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
WINDSOR, England, April 8-The
British public, which had been await
ing. not without certain anxiety, news
from the sick room of their monarch,
was heartened this forenoon by an Of
fetal statement that there was a slight
improvement in the condition of King
George.
His majesty had been suffering since
last Sunday from chest cold, which
yesterday was designated in an official
bulletin as an attack of sub-acute bron-
chitis.
In view of yesterdays announcement
that his progress, while satisfactory,
had been slow, todays statement from
mis- castle residence that there had been
an improvement was especially opti-
mistic
CIear-up Requires Days.
Authoritative quarters pointed out,
however, that a condition like that of
the King must take some time to clear
up, at least several days. Presupposing
his continued progress, it should be well
in the next week before he can look to
restoration to good health.
His majesty, it was learned, is still up
and about his room. He was favored to-
day by an improvement in the weather,
there being periods when the sun
streamed brightly through the castle
windows.
His physicians Lord Dawson Of Penn,
Sir William Rees and DR.. Henry Mar
tyn, all attended him today.
Substitute Nurse Serves.
Nurse Black, the Kings permanent
nurse. is on holiday, and her place was
being taken today by Nurse Davis, one
Of the four nurses who attended the
King during his former prolonged ILL
ness. But Queen Mary. whose unremit-
ting care in the critical days two years
ago played so great a part in the Kings
recovery, is again helping to keep his
majesty cheerful.
The queen has spent many hours in
the sick room each day since the Kings
cold developed on Good Friday. She left
the castle just before lunch today, how
ever, for a motor drive, in view Of the
improvement in the Kings condition.

FRENCH POLITICS CONFUSED.
Briend May Take Friends Advice and
Seek Presidency.

PARIS, April s (P-Dimculties aris-
ing from the tripartlte naval ACCORD
the propoSed Austro-German customs
union and the coming Anglo-German
parley have thrown French politics into
confusion.
Particularly, reported disagreements
In drafting the naval pact, where COM
plete unanimity of opinion was believed
to reign, has created an atmosphere OF
doubt and uneasineSs in political circles
Never has diplomatic chaos been
more complete" says the Conservative
newspaper Journal DeS Debats. The
Sk9happy consequences OF policies re-
Gently followed are extending. The
errors committed certainly furnish TO
governments which seek new upheayals
In Europe opportunities for action they
had not dreamed Of.
On the other side of the picture is
the conviction OF some observers that
Prime Minister Ramsay Macdonald viii
do his utmost to settle understanding
problems at the London Conference IN
May and by comforting with Chancellor
Heinrich Bruening and Foreign Minister
Julius Curtius of Germany viii arrange
for satisfactory settlement OF the
Austro-German question later in the
Council of the League of Nations.
The muddled status of affairs has
again led political circles to put
forward the name of M. BRAND as a
strong candidate for the presidency Of
the republic.
At the same time the foreign min
ister's enemies are besetting him once
more. They found powder in the sud-
den announcement of the Austro-Ger-
man pact. arguing that he was behind
the times, did not know what is going
on in the domain of European politics
and Is overconfident Of German col
Jaboration.
NJ. Brands opponents are attacking
him now, it is said, in connection with
the invitation that Foreign Secretary
Arthur Henderson extended to the Ger
man statesmen to meet in London, de-
claring that he would play a second
fiddle at this parley and that France is
falling behind in the political game.
Friends of the foreign minister said
that NJ. BRAND. weary of 1t all, will
bow to the wishes of his many adj
mirers and consent TO stand for PreSi-
dent at the election on May 49,

tent two and half times that of the

year.
Rosendah1 is now in Washington
where he has been on duty with the
Naval Bureau of AeronauticS since July
1880. Although still young. only 80, he
is generally recognized as this country's
foremost authority in lighter air
aviation, largely because of his intensive
study during the last eight years and a
practical experience probably without
parallel in its range and thoroughness
DR.. Hugo Eckener and a few of the
other Germans may SurpaSs him in
hours and miles flown, but during his
long term as commander Of the Los
Angeles he carried through a program
of training and experimentation that
has not been equaled anywhere else IL:
the world.
His new command Is considered the
supreme achievement of the airship
builders, embodying the best wisdom
and experience Of this country and OF
Germany
Although her length, 7s5 feet. is only
9 feet more than the Graf Zeppelin
her diameter is third larger than the
Crafts and her cubic measurements al
most double.
Eight engines, with a total Of 4,4ao
horsepower, will give her a cruising
range of 10,5e0 land miles without re-
fueling, as against 1000 for the Los An
geIes and SIPS for the Graf Zeppelin
She is designed tn make 238 miles an
hour.

The new pride of the Nays air forces
is the first airship capable of carrying

flying career in April, 1923, when he

AMELIA EARHART
SEEKS NEW RECORD
Leaves Pitcairn Field in Auto
gyro in Attempt to Set
Altitude Mark.

BY the Associated Press.
WILLOW GROVE. Pa, April g.
Amelia Earhart, making an altitude
flight in an autogiro today, was an
nounced to have made an unofficial
mark Of 1880 feet.
By the Associated Press.
WILLOW GROVE, Pa, April g.
Amelia Earhardt, first woman to fly
across the Atlantic Ocean, today went
aloft to establish an altitude mark for
autogyros. She left Pitcairn Field,
north of here, at IL o'clock noon in
clear, cool Weather.
A 12-mile ground wind was blowing
across the field as the flyer took the
wind mill" craft into cloudleSS sky,
and began to climb rapidly. A crowd
CT a thousand persons cheered and
wished her well.
Smiling as she shook hands with her
husband, George Palmer Putnam, New
York publisher, she seemed confident
as she stepped into the plane. She
wore riding breeches, low riding shoes,
white shirt, over which was brown
sweater. Over this attire she wore a
leather flying suit, helmet, goggles,
leather mittens and feece-lined flying
boots.
Flying Standard Ship.
The craft she few is a standard
Pitcairn autogyro powered with 800
horsepower Wright whirlwind motor.
1t carried 38 gallons Of gasoline and 5
gallons of oil.
The intrepid flyer hoped to exceed
the highest altitude ever reached by an
autogyro, flown by Pitcairn test pilots
said to be about 1900 feet.
The plane is equipped with an oxygen
container which Mr.. Putnam said his
wife probably would begin using at
about $4,000 feet. The oxygen is in
hailed through a rubber tube, to which
is attached a small mouthpiece, this
being superior, in Miss Earhart's belief,
to the oxygen masks often worn by
others in altitude attempts.
Ray Tests Plane.
James G. Ray, Pitcairn test pilot, es-
timated the wind would increase to go
miles an hour. blowing from the West
and Northwest, at $4,000 feet. He did
not think it likely. however, that she
would run into freezing temperatures.
The craft has top speed OF 125 miles
an hour.
Before Miss Earhart took off the
plane was tested by Ray, who took it up
for few minutes.
At the last minute before the take
off, as Miss Earhart was walking toward
the cockpit, it was noticed one OF her
parachute buckles was faulty, and she
changed the parachute.
The flight is being supervised by the
National AeronauticS Association, repre-
sented by Mai. Luke Christopher of
Washington, D. c., who placed a sealed
Paragraph In the plane before the take
of.
