COMBINES a piece of real
- literature concerning life is
written by high school student.
One is to be found in the 1881
Shortridge Annual.
Leon Frisch was born in
Zaleszcyki in southeastern Europe,
where Poland, Russia, and Ru-
mania meet" and this peaceful
looking town is enclosed on all sides
by mountains, and on three sides by
the beautiful, meandering Dniester
river"
Frisch tells of his ten years spent
in his native town before coming to
America, in "Borderland Sketches"
Frisch has caught the spirit of the
people of his former home and he
has painted a living picture of the
bandit who stole horses; of a prize
fighter, who returned from America
and got knocked out by Ivan, a
stoker in bakery, and Of Russians
sacking the town.
The entire annual is a credit to
the class.

NEW YORK, June 19. (P)-A new we" is about to head out over the wind-swept sea toward the horizon of adventure.
 This time it will be a We" that means a man and his mate and his plane.
 Lindbergh no longer flies alone.
 The man who in a single hop spanned the broad Atlantic ocean to Paris, fame and, subsequently,, a bride is preparing for another feat.
 Col. Charles A. Lindbergh and his wife, the equally brave Anne Morrow Lindbergh, intended to fly across the blue Pacific.
 A tour in the Orient lies ahead. In keeping with the shining career of Americas aerial hero, they will ! ride the magic carpet of aviation l to the lands of sampans and pago- das and cherry blossoms.

Morrow of Engle- wood, N, J., and depart aloft for a tour of China and Japan. They expect to be abroad two or three weeks.
 The flight across the north Pa cific will be made in a series of short hops.
 Booming off the extreme north western corner of this country or from Alaska, they probably will poise awhile at Attu, most weSter- ly of the Aleutian Islands, which string westward from the Alaskan coast.
 From that point it is approxi- |mately 500 miles to Shumstui, near est island of the Japanese empire.
 Take All Precautions
 LindberghS Lockheed Sirius monoplane has been equipped with pontoons and every safety precau- tion taken.
 Two other flights have been made over the same approximate route, and another is planned for this year.
 The previous flights were those of the army round -the-World squadron in 1924 and of the Rus sian fliers who came to New York in 1929 and were greeted by Lind bergh.
 On the way Lindbergh may meet Seiji Yoshihara, young Japanese, who hopes to hop by easy stages from Tokyo with Washington as his ultimate goal. Yoshihara started once, but damaged his plane. He will make a second at- tempt soon.
