Questions and Answers
Who invented the pipe organ?

Who invented the pipe organ?
The earliest history of pipe or
CANS can not be traced exactly,
though it is safe to assume that
they were developed from bagpipes
and pan pipes. The earliest au-
thentic record of the pipe organ
does not extend beyond the second
century B. c., but the evolution
of the bagpipe and pan-pipe goes
back to a remote period. The by
draulic organ, in which pressure on
the bellows was supplied by water,
is supposed to have been invented
by Ctesibius, a native of Alexan-
dria, in the second or third CEN
fury before Christ.
Did the Wings finally assimilate
with the Republicans or the Demo-
Gratis?
Wings was the name adopted in
1884 by the national Republican
party. The party grew chiefly out
of the opposition to Andrew jack
son and the system of personal
government he put into effect. The
name Wing was first assumed by
revolutionary patriots who opposed
the dictatorial methods of George
III. In 1848 the Wing party split
into conscience Wings and old time
Wings. The former opposed the
extension Of slavery and the latter
advocated the preservation of the
Union at all costs. After 1852 the
northern Wings eventually joined the
Republicans and the southern
Wings the Democrats.
Is the modern slang expression
getting ones goat derived from a
passage in Shakespeare's "Othel-
lo?"
There is a quotation which reads:
"To be once in doubt
Is once to be resolved: exchange me for a
When | shall turn the business of nv
To such exsuviicate and blown surmises
Matching thy inference"
It is possible that the current
slang expression came from this
quotation, but it hardly seems ap-
plicable to the expression as used
today.

A Contrast in PHILADELPHIA

HONTRAST thtis procedure with
~ what happened following an
other incident which also occurred
in Philadelphia a few months be-
fore the visit of Grandi. This time
the visitor was Herbert Clark Hoo
yer, the President Of the United
States.
He had come to witness a world
series game between the Cardinals
and the Athletics. AS the Presi-
dent left Shibe park, a number of
people in the stands shouted "boo,'
and made other derogatory sounds.
Nobody was arrested.
Now, I am not endeavdting to en-
courage the practice of booing the
President. I yield to no one in my
dislike for Mr.. Hoover, but I much
prefer to vote and work against him
than to make vague vocal outcries.
I am merely indicating that
whether it is bad craftsmanship,
poor taste or what not, the forces
of law and order in Philadelphia
were prepared to accept the right
of the citizenry to indicate disap-
prevail of our chief executive. Then
why be so tender about the feeling
of Grand or Mussolini?

In the same laboratories where the

The machine was developed by

was equivalent in anti-rachitic value
to a teaspoonful of cod liver oil.

Interest Mounts Higher in
Race; Poor Children to
Get Models.

A group of twenty-five glider
planes was received at the Apollo
theater today in The Times model
airplane contest for boys and girls.
These were sent in by a group of
boy who have been working on the
glider type of plane for some time,
These planes were handsomely
painted and will make beautiful gifts
for the unfortunate boys and girls
who are to get them as Christmas
presents through the help of the
Salvation Army.
This contest, sponsored by The
Times, was inspired by the epic air
picture, Air Mall which opens a
weeks engagement at the Apollo
Friday, starring Ralph Bellamy, Pat
O'Brien, and Gloria Stuart, sup
ported by Lillian Bond, Slim Sum
merville and many other we'll known
screen players.
The picture, directed by John
Ford, tells the story of the romance
and adventure of the pilots who fly
the United States mails.
Cash Prizes Offered
Cash prizes, for the best models.
of $40 and SIS are offered and a
ticket to see Air Mall to every
boy or girl who enters a model plane
in this contest.
All the planes will be placed on
exhibit on the mezZanine floor at
the Apollo, where they will be judged
and then turned over to the Saliva
ton Army for distribution to Indi-
annapolis children who may be for
gotten by Santa. Planes should be
taken to the Apollo as soon as
possible.
Herschel Knight of the local
chapter of the National Aeronauti-
cal Association, actively interested in
this contest, gives some last minute
advice to contestants who still are
working on models to enter in the
contest.
BE sure you are familiar with the
shape, size, and part each piece
takes in the assembled model of the
type you have decided to present,
he says. In this contest it is adj
visable to use medium, soft wood
so that the completed model will
have sufficient strength to be used
as a toy.
Be Careful in Painting
solid balSam wood may be used
and will be much easier to carve, but
will not have the strength of a
model carved from soft pine or
spruce. You will need wood, wire.
glue, and paint . and possibly a
few small pieces of tin.
"One more important step
the painting. You may hide mis-
takes in construction of the model
with paint . but you can not
hide a poor paint job. Many fine
pieces of construction have failed
to take prizes because of hasty and
careless painting.
Bright colors should be used in
this case, as the children who get
the planes no doubt will be pleased
with faShy colorir<3.
Planes should be taken to the
Apollo as soon as possible, so that
arrangements can be made for the
display.
Be sure that your name and adj
dress r written plainly on a tag
tied securely to your entry.

LONG BEACH, Cal, Dec. 8. -
William James Guy, 24-year-old
adventurer, was returned to Long
Beach early today for questioning
in connection with the Staying of
Captain Walter Wanderwell, pro-
fesSional soldier of fortune.
Guy was arrested in a dark. de-
serted house in an outlying section
of Los Angeles late Wednesday
night. He denied being aboard
Wanderwell's e-bound
schooner, Carma, Monday night
when the captain was shot down
from behind.
Guy admitted, according to De-
tective Sergeant r. H. Manchester.
who returned him here, that he had
parted from Wanderwell on a pre-
vious South American expedition
and that he later accosted the cap
tain at a Los Angeles hotel and
quarreled with him.
Identified as Mystery Man
Manchester said that two of the
four members of the Carma's party
on board identified Guy as the "mys-
FERROUS stranger who looked through
the portfolio of their cabin and in
quired after Wanderwell. A few
moments after the face at the
portfolio" appeared, Wanderwen
was slain, they had said.
Manchester said that Guy was
confronted by Edmund Zoranski,
cameraman, and Cuthbert Wills,
engineer, both of whom identified
him as the stranger. Wills had es-
corted the visitor a few. steps down
the companionway in the direction
Of the captains quarters.
Guy was to be confronted today
by two other members of the party.
Marian Smith, Atlanta, Ga, student,
and Mary Parks of Boston, Wander
wells secretary, who were chatting
with zornaski and the engineer over
their proposed round-the-woId cruise
when the stranger appeared.
Accused of DesertiOn
Harry Greenwood of Long Beach,
who previously had identified a
picture of Guy as the man who
stopped him near the docks an holr
and a half after the murder md
asked the way to town, also was to
face the suspect in a lineup.
Guy was held on charges of
suspicion of murder. Sergeant Man
chester also said he would be held
for federal authorities on a charge
of illegal entry.
According to the police sergeant,
Guy accused Wanderwell of de-
serting a party of adventures which
he recruited in Buenos Aires last
year. He said he had paid the
captain 5000 to join a motor caval-
cade to the States, but when they
reached Panama, Wanderwell and
his wife, Aloha, deserted the party
and returned to California by
steamer.
The rest of us were in a miserable
condition and completely broke the
suspect said, according to Man
chester.
