FLIGHT TO NOME PLANNED BY M0YLE AND ALL
Candl,i and Mcdonald, Men of Parallel Careers, Are Meeting for First Time at
 Indian Conference; Both Are Reno,Uned
By EDWARD STANLEY

IONDON, sept. l6.-l WO Woliu personalities are meeting face to face at the second Indian round table conference in London.
 Mahatma Gandhi is one.
 Ramsay Macdonald is the other. They know a lot about each oth- CT, these two, and they may won der more. So far as is known they never have met before; certainly not to work together.
 Each started out to do something far different in the world than the tasks that now are theirs
 Macdonald planned a career as a scientist Gandhi was a barrister-
 Each has joined seemingly for lorn cauges and stuck with them. For Macdonald it was socialism. For Gandhi, India's freedom.
 Nearly Same Age
 They are very nearly the same age. Macdonald was born in 1886, Gandhi in 1869. Both were born within sight and sound of the sea. Both have retained love for their native shores.
 Both were finding their feet in this world capital at about the same time.
 Macdonald, a raw Scotch lad Of 19. rushed down from his North Sea village to study to become a scientist.
 Gandhi, few years later, came from India, to study law, a gawky Hindu lad, conscious of the fact that his hair wouldn't slick down.
 Macdonald was almost penniless. Gandhi's resources were slender and borrowed.
 Macdonald stayed in London made friends, but didn't prosper He became socialist.
 Gandhi went back to India, with no ties in England, then to South Africa. He organized the Indians to resist prejudice and unfair leg islation against them, won his fight, and left the bar.
 During the world war Gandh! stuck to the Empire. Loyalty he did recruiting work, kept down se- ditious movements, offered to form an ambulance corps. He was deco rated.
 Later he revised his estimate oi British rule and returned his med als.
 Macdonald Pacifist
 Macdonald fought against the war all the way through, was re- fused permission to do ambulance work and was reviled as traitor He received no medals to return. Now both are men of world re- nown.
 Gandhi sometimes rushes ahead before he can see the end.
 Macdonald plans slower, moves cautiously.
 But each is dogged in pursuit oi the goal, never admitting ultimate defeat.
 It may be that they will pull to- gether.

Accidental Disch arge ot Pistol Prob ably
 Brighten Men

LOS ANGELES, Cal, Sept 18.- Gambling debts of the late Lso p Bergin, soap manufacturer, fell upon the second generation as ten sentries were assigned to guard over Mrs. Bergin's mansion to keep her three children from harm.
 The debts contracted were be- tween s5o,ooo and s75,oOo to New York gamblers in 1926.
 Bergin attempted to repudiate the debts in the belief the dice games were unfair but a statement found in his effects after his death indicated extortionist meth ods were applied after his return here.
 Last week pressure descended on Bergin's widow who received sev- eral letters threatening kidnapping of her children unless he continued her husbands payments.
 Mrs. Bergin appealed to Dis trict Attorney 1Fitts and yesterday fifteen agents of the District At torney's office lay in ambush be- lieving the members of the gang would appear to collect an in- stallment.
 Investigator Harry Leslie accl- dentally discharged his revolver wounded himself seriously in the side, and F'itts believes the accl- dent prevented arrests of the whole group of extortionistS.

THE BOYS

Small wonder when you stop to think, that so many
successful men of today in various lines of endeavor,
recall with pleasure that their first business experience
was gained by carrying a newspaper route.
In this work they had the opportunity for an exper-
fence that in many instances opened the way to later
success in larger work.
Newspaper carrier boys who satisfactorily meet the
requirements Of that work and who learn all that can
be learned about developing of a good personality and
sticking to right business principles have taken a long
step toward later success in any line they may choose
to enter.
When a carrier retains his route for any considerable
length of time it is an indication that he is ID doing his
work well and that the customers on his route are being
satisfactorily served.
Even a few complaints from customers on the route
of any carrier places his job in jeopardy, for the carrier
is the final link between the publisher and the subscri-
Der and delivery of the paper must be assured, else all
the effort that has gone before is wasted.
The carrier is also in a highly competitive field, for
there are always other boys waiting for each Of the
routes and it is not only by giving good service to his
customers that any carrier can hope to continue long
on the job.
Thus it is that the newspaper carrier is in reality a
member of a carefully selected group Of boys, chosen
for their promptness in making deliveries. their knack
of making friends of their customers, their neatness of
appearance as they go about their work, their accuracy
in keeping their accounts properly and making collec-
tons regularly, and their craftsmanship in holding pres
ent customers and gaining new ones.
The Herald regards itself as fortunate in having such
an all-round good bunch of carrier boys, and invites the
cooperation and interest Of the parents Of these boys,
in helping US to develop them into the best possible men.

Capt. and Mrs. F. II. Newton,

probably would be organized at
first with a hundred or more mem

most.
Before the coming Of deep water,
