The Once Over


uh4Ax MAI HAVE REALLY khOIGmI
oh. I think It was just glorious. / know they'd
come through ."-Mrs Post. after the flight.
Il was never so thrilled. Harold never fails In any
thing Mrs. Gatty after the flight. u
Mrs. Post shortly after the hop-off from Okla
they're off, and I suppose al We can
do it hope for the best.
Mrs. Gatty.-If they break their necks they can't
say we didn't warn EN-.
Mrs. Post-wouldnt you think they'd be more rea-
sonable7 They get a silly idea In their heads and off
they go around the world, leaving us alone to like II
or lump IL. I think It's terrible.
Mrs. Gatty-Theyre old enough to have more
sense.
Mrs. Post-Thats what ! say. But you know how
obstinate Wiley is.
Mrs. ~Gatty-Harold is that way. too. Just ~pis<head-
ed once he gets his heart set on something. There's
no use arguing. I tried to tell him for the past week
that this round-the-world trip was a crazy idea. but
he wouldn't listen to me.
Mrs. POST don't blame EN- for liking TO fly. but
they've got all the room they need right here over
Oklahoma. Why 20 all over the world7
Mrs. ~Gatty-That's. just what I said to Harold. He
just grunted and said I didn't understand.
Mrs. Post.-It isn't fair to us. Suppose they got
killed? Where would we get off. then. They never
stop to think or that. 1t makes me furious.
Mrs. Gatty-Sometimes I have my suspicious about
this round-the-world story.
Mrs. Post.-Me. too. How do we know they're on any
round he-world trip,
Mrs. Gatty-All we can do Is to watch the papers.
What I can't understand Is what difference 1t win
make even II they do fly around the world In nine
or ten days. What Of IL?
Mrs. Post-Some other fellow will come along al
do the same thing In six or seven That's always the
way.
Mrs. Gatty-Harold tells me a lot OF stuff about
the scientific value Of such a trip. its Importance to
aviation and SO forth. but I don't swallow 1t. They
just want 10 get away from home. that's all.
Mrs. Post-How do we know who theyN meet on
such a trip?
Mrs. Gatty.-we don't. They say they're not going
to stop any place longer than II takes to buy gas. tat
you know how men are when they get away on a trip.
Mrs. Positive ought 10 put our foot down. I'm
going to tell Wiley that he's got to choose between
me and this crazy business OF flying around the world.
It's too dangerous. They may get through. but II
they do it'll be luck.
Mrs. Gatty-Absolutely.
Mrs. Post.-I wish there was q law against any such
things as world flights.
Mrs. Gatty-so do I They just don't mike sense,
NO HITS, NO RUNS

Lets shadow box and also spar. Mop"
Said Peter Arno to Vanderbilt Junior
I'VE might get hurt and I'd hate TO runior."
Messrs. Post and Gatty spent the Fourth on a
Yacht. Their sensations must have been those OF the
flea who hoped off the rabbit to try a trip on a
rocking horse.
The Chinese have refused to permit further explora-

1t seems pretty cruel to ask Mr.. Andrews to go through
a season without any dinosaur eggs.
