MACK SENNETT COMES HERE ON PALATIAL YACHT
Motion Picture Millionaire Is Guest on Don Lees
 Melodie

Mack Sennett of Hollywood, Cal. motion picture producer, who glori- fies bathing girls as things or beauty and standardized custard pies as comedy attractions, is a guest aboard the yacht Meloaie, in port. He Is enjoying a brief vaca- tion. There is not one-piece surf costume on the ssaft and the French chef, who draws $500 a month for changing boiled pota- toes into croquettes and doing other sleight-of hand tricks with com mon food, would lose his job if he served a circular piece of pastry with a yellow surface.
 MT. Sennett is charmed with AL aska. He rests his eye on beaches unadorned with the human form. He is not worried with the fear that 8 $1O0,000 mirthquakc will be ruined by the poor aim O. c1e of the funSberS.
 GreeAS frcceuea Hlm
 The motion picture magnate will admit he didn't discover the beauty of the feminine figure The Greeks beat him to it, and left as evidence of their artistic intelligence the Venus de Milo and numberless other statues of unapproachable merit. But he can claim credit for introducing or at least promoting slippery bars of soap and custard pies as means of exciting the risa- bilities of photoplay patrons. To cause folks to laugh is something worth while. It has made him a multi millionaire.
 The Melodie is owned by Don Lee, distributor of Cadillac auto- mobiles in Hollywood, Cal, and owner of the Columbia-Don Lee Radio Broadcasting stations at Los Angeles and San Francisco. He is aboard. Other guests, besides MT Sennett, are MT. and Mrs. J. B Lee, relatives of the owner; D Merrill, wealthy Seattle lumber man, and Mrs. Merrill; Mrs. Nancy Yancy, Miss Beatrice Norton and Miss Irene Thompson.

NEW YORK, July l6.-The radio never before played so helpful a part in long distance flights as now on the Atlantic Ocean when the plane Justice to Hungary got in communication with three ships on its eastward hop from Harbor Grace to Budapest.
 Pliers George Endres and Alex ander Magyar were not only able to keep in touch with the world and gave information as to their progress, but by means of a radio direction finder kept themselves to a true course across the waves.
 Alcock and Brown, English, who made the first nonstop crossing; Col. Charles A. Lindbergh and Clarence Chamberlin had no radio.
 Rear Admiral Richard E. Byrd was the first to give it chance on long flight but he was able only to put it to small use but did re- port his arrival at both the North and South Poles.
 Since then more fiiers carried radio and it's value is continually increasing.

times of peace actually constitute revelation to the average citizen who does not come in contact with this important phase of the army's existence. This branch of the service is no longer composed of the one time professional soldiers who joined the army in search of a ca reer of exclusive likeness aside from soldering. A great majority of shose men who have adopted the army as career today are trained spe- cialists in various fields of endeav- ors. Their 1abors provide disteinct contribution to the social and eco- homie welfare of the nation in times of peace.
 "In nearly every community, reg ular army officers may be found on U. s. army recruiting service, R. O.. T. c. units, or other fields afiiliated with the war department. These officers are available as speakers who are well versed on the peace full pursuits of the army and the constructive achievements of this branch of our military service.
 we hope that these representa- lives of the army will be given the opportunity of presenting their rnes- sages before civic and patriotic groups, and in the schools and col- leges on Army day, as a tribute to the efficient progress that Is being made by this arm of the country's national defense.'

Counsel for Bus System Alleges Warfare on All Motors
 Using Public Roads

New York.-Railroad propogan- dists are using the present depres- sion blues to throw smoke screen In an avowed war against not only the bus but in opposition to ali forms o. motor transportation using the public highways.
 That Is the charge made in the current issue of Bus Transportation by Ivan Bowen, who served as chair man of the recent transportation conference m Washington. Speak ing as counsel to the Greyhound Lines, he declares further that state legislatures are the focal points in a general attack intended to tax the bus and other forms of motor trans portation vehicle out of existence.
 Tt is highway traffic that the rail- road program seeks to curb and not merely the common carrier on the highways" says MT Bowen. Rail- road estimates place the amount of passenger traffic handled on the highways by common carrier buses

 Therefore, the restrictive railroad program is directed against the use! of the highway. with the object of curtailing motor traffic regardless of whether 1t is carried by private au- tomobile, by private truck. by coh-1 tract carrier or by common carrier
 ''The railroads have turned loose their legislative agencies to secure the enactment of laws increasing highway taxes and revising lfmita- tions. the passage of which will re- gllt in prohibiting the operation of r1otor vehicles which have been de- veloped to give economical trans portation.
