WOMEN FOR PARIS HONOR.
Miss McCoH of Canada Reported Rival
of Ruth Nichols.

NEW YORK, April % GA race be-
tween two woman flyers, each deter
mined to be the first of her sex TO
make a solo hop across the AtlanIlc,
was in prospect today.
One of them is an American, Miss
Ruth Nichols of Rye, N. Y, who has
flown a plane slightly more than 2lO
miles an hour, the highest speed ever
attained by a woman. The second is
Canadian, Miss Edith Elizabeth McColl
of Gait. Ontario, whose plans became
known Yesterday after it was learned
definitely that Miss Nichols is intent on
making the flight.
Miss McColl, a little blond stenog-
rapher, has been flying quite a bit in
Canada, although she is not so well
known as Miss Nichols. Her first flight
was made at the age OF IL and she has
been at it consistently since that time.
Her fight is sponsored by P. A.
Broadbent of Toronto, who said she
would use a large cabin monoplane for
the venture. The ship is now being
overhauled. No date has been set for
the flight, but lately she has been cram
ming on navigation and making long
distance flights in Northwest Ontario.
IT am going to cross" she said with
determination. IF there was any
doubt about it would not be going"
Miss Nichols will make her flight in a
plane three times as powerful as the
one used by Charles A. Lindbergh and
so to rs miles an hour faster. 1t Is
now being overhauled by Col. Clarence
D. Chamberlin, himself a transatlantic
flyer, who will accompany her to HaT-
Dor Grace, Newfoundland, the starting
point.

FLYERS MAY RACE
AROUND WORLD
Mears and Post Prepare
PIanes-Ruth Nichols Has
Rival for Paris Hop.

By the Associated Press.
LOS ANGELES, April ga race
around the world between. two ambitious
a possibility here today with prepara-
tions by John Henry Mears of New
York and Wiley Post. Oklahoma City
speed flyer, entering the final stages.
Post took his fleet craft to a Burbank
factory yesterday for overhaul and in
stallation of larger gasoline tanks. He
said he would start his attempt to
encircle the earth in 10 days with
Harold Gatty, Los Angeles navigator,
who accompanied Harold Bromley Of
Tacoma, Wash, on an unsuccessful at
tempt to span the Pacific from Japan.
Test Pilot Engaged.
Mears has engaged Vance Breese,
test pilot, to fly his ship around the
world. Mears once held the record for
the fastest trip around the world, but
the Graf Zeppelin, encircling the earth
in 81 days, took away the honorS ne
hopes to regain.
Mears and Post each have Lockheed-
Vega with a 450-horsepower super
charged motor. Mears said his plane
would be ready by May l. Post said he
hoped to be at Harbor Grace, New
foundland, his starting point, by the
last of April. Both planes have top
speed of 200 miles per hour, while their
cruising speeds are ITO miles per hour
Great Circle Route.
Each aspirant for globe-circling hon
ors expects to follow the great circle
route across the Atlantic, touch at Ber-
lin. Moscow and Toxic, and take
northerly route across the PACING IN
order to reduce the over-water dis
lance.
While both Post and MearS said they
wished no race, each admitted the in
tention of beating the other to the
take-of if possible.

weeks Of legal details, testimony and
arguments, was ended today with all
three defendants acquitted, but two Of
them were back In custody on other

before echoes Of the jury's verdict had
died away in Recorders Court at 7:50
o'clock last night, on an indictment
charging him and BLACK Leo" Cellura,
notorious Detroit gangster, with muir
dering William Cannon and George
Collins, reputed dope runners, last July

U. S. TO PAY POOR ALIENS
PASSAGE TO HOMELANDS
McCarl Rules Government Can
Send Those Seeking Return If
They Cannot Get Jobs Here.

INDECENT aliens who have been here
legally less than three years and who
ask to be returned to their native lands
may go at the expense of the Govern
ment, according to ruling yesterday
by Controller General McCarl. The
ruling was made at the request of the
Labor Department, which thought such
action would aid the unemployment
situation.
To receive Government aid, an alic:-
must be without means and unable to
obtain employment. He also must per-
sonally request the Government to send
him home.
immigration Commissioner Hull said
approximately $50 applications had
been received, the greater number be-
ing from citizens of Great Britain. The
cost of sending them home would be
approximately $50 each.

Today cotton is selling the lowest price since the col

sane national attitude toward the business OF financing ana

Unless the current situation corrected consumption OF
American cotton is dwinde 1t has fallen OFT z

Mr. Walter Parker reminds that unless this is done con-

Not So Much
And yet there is a difference.

chatter-I enquire after that
book or painting which they
were about to create. The chat
ter doesn't come. The book

they've taken up bridge "
if possible, they're even more

seasoned ear-and my ear has
had plenty of seasoning-that
there's mighty little difference
between their I. @. (Which
means brain heft) and that of
their mothers and dads. For
here they are, dealing with
Real Life-not theories or hear
says. And do they understand
it any better, do they manage
it any more skillfully, do they
buck up under It any more
bravely than the Old Folks did?
They do not. In spite of their
brilliant start, they've settled
down into the same old steady
jog.
For which reason I'm doubt
ing the much advertised bright
ness of our younger generation.
They're good eggs, but nothing
exceptional. It's true they are
more facile and graceful, more
wiSed up, more at ease. But
that isn't because they're pre-
cious. It's merely because this
is a franker, more stimulating
age. The air is full of flashy
facts and wise cracks. Every
confession magazine teaches
you how to gable about things
your grandma dasn't mention
every movie teaches you how
to strut. AND EVERY KID IS

Nothing in particular.

There are certain men in Of
ficial positions are are not dis
posed to keep an ear TO the
ground and find out the lay
mans opinion or ideas.
These official" officials are
pretty much saturated with
their own Importance.
4 They have chosen or ap-
pointed to do a given thing
and won't take suggestions
from anyone.
Everything must be talked
over in official session.
And having talked much and
long they are too weary after
to get up steam enough IT, carry
out what has been suggested in
meeting.
Then when the constituent
or the common outsider who
needs help that prompt action
might give, gets up and shows
by his talk, publicly and other
wise that he has about as good
grasp of the situation as the
officials, they become irritated.
Too many committees are
composed of men who can't de-
eide anything.
They are good talkerS-they
have a job and they want to
keep it.
They are afraid to hit too
close to the bulls eye the first

might get to functioning too

They want to be known as

want to keep that job, and as

Listen, World!
BY Elsie Robinson

Somebody said that modern
youngsters are brighter than all
previous models.
I wonder.
There's certainly a big show
of something that looks like
talent. You see it particularly
in job like this. Hundreds of
boys and girls writing or drop
ping in. What poise they have,
and what a cline" How in
the world did they learn so
much in their scant 18 or 20
years.
Remember what goofs you
and I were at that age? Didn't
know what to do with our
hands or feet. Hadn't Deen
anywhere or seen anything.
Couldn't write, couldn't sing,
couldn't draw. Push us into
the spotlight and we'd just
stand there and giggle and
wiggle and blush. But these
bright young things! They
look like a Barrymore, talk like
a Shaw and wise-crack like e
Will Rogers. Nothing faxes
them. They'd be equally at
home with Einstein or Ghandi,
Secretary Mellon or King
George-and they'd probably
make any one of these old
gentlemen feel like 80 cents.
They Do Things
And it isn't merely effect.
They actually do things. They
write astonishing short stories
and poems, paint amazing de-
signs, play half a dozen musi-
cal instruments, chatter divert
ingly on any subject under
heaven and back up their chat
ter with real facts. Yes, they
certainly LOOK brighter and
SOUND brighter and ACT
brighter than their dads and
mothers did at their age. But
1 wonder if they really ARE
brighter.
Now and then I meet one of
them after a lapse of six or
seven years. They've stepped
out of their Bright-Young-
Thing framework y mar
ried had a baby or two
come to actual grips with
life. They still look pretty
much the same. Time hasn't
nicked them, as far as face and
