Alan swallowed a cupful of I've water

Coast -to-Coast Flight II Years
Ago a Thriller.

Chicago.-Aviation history was writ
ten in the skies eleven years ago when
air mail pilots made an experimental
transcontinental night flight over un-
lighted airways to demonstrate the
value of flying mail at night as well
as by day to influence congress to
make appropriations for the lighting
Of the present coast-to-coast airway.
Of the nine pioneer pilots engaged
in that historic flight made over un-
lighted airways and in old wartime
planes, all but one are living and six
are still flying. Three of them, Ray
Little, Frank Yager and Jack Knight,
now fly mail and passenger planes on
the same route, which is operated by
United Air lines.
After night and day east-west
fight had failed back in 1921, a relay
of pilots pushed the west-east trans
continental mail from San Francisco
to New York in 33 hours and 20 min
utes, at an average speed Of 103 miles
an hour.

Famous Phrases Traced
to Their Right Origin

1t seems that the public has been
wronging the memory of that doughty
merchant and railroad builder. Com
modore Cornelius Vanderbilt, these
many years. 1t wasn't the commO-
dore, to whom the phrase is usually
attributed, but his eldest son, Will
liam H., who made that famous dec
laration of policy, "The public be
damned!" according to the Golden
Book Magazine.
The phrase has lived, il is found,
since 1888, and was calculated by the
second of the railroad dynasty on an
occasion when he was asked whether
the customers of his railroad should
be consulted about the service and
equipment of his trains.
The magazine, seeking out the au-
thentic sources of other famous
phrases, finds that ITO the victor be-
longs the spells" was coined by Sen
ator William /. Marcy in 1882. Marcy
was defending Andrew Jackson's pol
icy of ousting opposition officer hold
ers in wholesale fashion and substi-
tuting his own followers.
"A square deal" was made famous
by Theodore Roosevelt. who used it in
a speech for Spanish war veterans in
1903: "If they are good enough TO
shed blood, they are good enough to
get a square deal afterward."
Il would rather be right than be
President" another phrase whose orr
gin is sinking into obscurity. was first
spoken by Henry Clay in 1850, in his
compromise speech which is generally
credited with helping postpone the
Civil war.
"The almighty dollar" it is found,
first appeared in Washington Irving's
account of southern Creole villages
where he found that minled deity
"seems to have no genuine devotees. >

Beauty Talks
By
MARJORIE DUNCAN
Famous Beauty Expert
A Few Mistaken Beauty
Impressions

TWO or three mistaken beauty i'm.
L pressions prevail to such an alarm
ing extent that they merit discussion
and correction. The first, to my mind,
is the matter of the ,ft, silky, light
down on the face which is so often
mistaken for superfiuous hair. Innum-
erable women are suffering self-in-
flicted misery unnecessarily because of
this misconception.
Another common impression Is the
mistaken idea many women have that
anything bordering on gloss is exces-
sive oiliness. This applies to hair as
well as skin, but because of adver-
tising and preaching many women are
now preserving healthy hair luster.
Not so with the skin, however. 1t is
a far cry from the moist, dewy glow
so alluring an attribute of youth, to
the excessively shiny, greasy appear
ance of the very oily type of skin. /
have seen powder puffs rubbed so
vigorously over naturally lustrous
faces that it seemed the skin would
soon become Shreds. One marvels
at the skins resistance to such rough
treatment. And one wonders why
women are ambitious to rub away the
glow that only youth and beauty are
heir to.
Look at the skin of a young child.
Glowing with health and color, and
not dry as a flour mask, but a sug-
of
to call it. and a lovely luster, deli
cate sheen, not a high, ungroomed
and unwholesome looking shine. If
yours is the lovely, dewy glow of
youth, preserve and guard it as a
precious possession and do not at
tempt to rub or pat or powder IT
away.
So much emphasis has been laid
on superf1uous hair and it's destruc-
tion of feminine loveliness that
great many women mistake the nat
ural down as an unnecessary afflic-
ton. A SOFT silky covering Is ma
ture's way of protecting the skin.
Look closely at a young chld's face
or stroke the skin and you will notice
this soft covering.
OF course. too much is too much
and If the growth is dark and very
noticeable then you can either bleach
the hairs or in extreme cases see to
its removal.
At the sign of the first little scale
many women are terrified: "Dandruff.
it must be-" they think. AS a matter
of fact a slight scaling of the dead
outer layer of skin is not only nat
ural and normal but desirable.
Many brush has been relegated
to the scrap heap because it re-
vealed few stray hairs after the
proverbial hundred strokes. Old,
dead hairs must fall when new,
young ones take their places-so
never be alarmed by few falling,
stray hairs. 'Tis the healthy scalp
that sheds them.

DATA TO Be KEPT
ON GREAT MODERNS
Records to Permit Scientists
of Future to Visualize
Their Achievements.

It Is the intention of the Aristogenic
Association, which was formed in New
York six years ago, to collect and pre-
serve important records Of the great
men OF our times in order that sci
entists of the future may have accurate
data from which to visualize and in
terpret the achievements of today.
Last year this asocia ton, through a
committee of IA eminent men, selected
10 persons whose records will form the
first of a series extending from genera
ton to generation in an unbroken line
into the future. The names of the 10
eminent men honored by this selection
have not been made public. it being the
feeling Of the association that the pub
lication of their names in this connec-
ton might prove embarrassing to the
subjects.
Each year, or perhaps every two
years, 10 more great persons will be Sc
lected, and records prepared for preser-
walton In the vaults Of the society. Ac-
cording to the present plan, these
records will be kept up to date by the
addition of current information as long
\ as the subjects are living, and after
death the data will be sealed and pre-
served and unopened for 100 years, at
the expiration Of which they will be
i1aoe available 1or STUDY by scientists.
Permanent Record Desired.
But now. while records of the first
10 great men are accommodating, a seri-
Gus problem has arisen. How should
these records be prepared in order to
endure great periods of time? II they
are written on ordinary paper they will
crurnble and disappear. 1t is hardly
practical to engrave them on stone.
yet experience shows that stone
and bone are the most enduring
substances which bring us records of the
past.
The Importance Of this problem is
even greater when the nature of the
records is also taken into account. The

ten data upon the men selected, but also
