Mears Will Try Again.

John Henry MeaTs is q persistent
and determined person. He hates TO
have his records taken away from him
By any means whatsoever. 1t caused
him great concern, therefore, when the
Graf Zeppelin made its fast trip
around the world in twenty-one days.
Now these globe -circling records are
Mesrs specialties, and he does not care
to have them tempered with. In 1918,
for instance, by train and boat, he
went around in thlrty-ave days. In
1928 he improved on that, and with
the late Capt. C. B. ID. Collyer did 1t
in twenty-eight days by plane and
boat. Last year, after the Zeppelin had
made Its remarkable voyage, the old
urge again made itself manifest TO the
former record holder and he decided
to Try again. This time he barely es-
capped with his life. Taking on from
Newfoundland with Lieut.. Henry Brown
in his fast specially constructed plane,
The heavily loaded ship refused TO leave

And now comes the announcement
from Los Angeles that new plane has
been built, and with Vance Breese, q

again from Newfoundland sometime In
June TO 10 things TO the twenty lone
day record OF the Graf Zeppelin" The
itinerary has been set IS New York

then to Berlin, Moscow and through
Siberia, crossing the Pacific to Chignik,
Alaska. and the final dash to Seattle
and back TO New York.

Deserves Heartiest Applause.

rary. La Presna, commenting editorially
upon the campaign which has lately
been inaugurated in New York City
with the object OF restricting Colombian
immigration to the United States, de-
clareS very truly that such campaign
deserves only our heartiest applause
and encomiums, for it will assure that
no more Of our compatriots will be per-
mitted to land in the American me-
tropolis, there TO walk the streets in
hunger and poverty along with thou
sands of the native citizenry. We have no
desire to see any more Colombians In
such lamentable circumstances. There
are enough Of them suffering In the
United States already.
They say in that country that the
cause of all their troubles Is overpro-
duction. There was plenty of employ
ment during the manufacture Of many
surplus articles. Now that there is no
demand for the goods, the problem of
those out OF work is more serious in
America than in any other country.

arousing public sentiment among the
young voters is that recently announced
by Robert H. Lucas, executive director of

The plan contemplates having in
Washington on June IL and IL one
young man and one young woman from
each OF the states, designated by the
Republican National Committee mem
bers of the States, for q general two
day conference to discuss organization.
Here would be an opportunity for the
Republican leaders to obtain q pretty
good cross-seetion Of the views Of the
youth of the country regarding certain
issues which are likely to crop up in
the coming campaign. Prohibition, for
example. 1t does not seem likely. how
ever. that the conference will spend a
great deal OF It's time on such contro-
yersial matters.
