 That man would be Sir Arthur whittcn Brown, who . years ngo on June 15 was in tho afrplane that wrote the second bright chap.. ter in Atlantic flights.
 Taking . Chance
 It was less than month after Commander Read crossed tho ocean to England that the then I.lcut Brown and Capt Alcock took off from Newfoundland, de- termined to be the first to make n nonstop flight across tho Att lnntic. Tho weather reports were not too encouraging, but they de- clded to take a chance--as your true adventurers will.
 Their heavily laden Vlmy-Vtc- kers biplanc lifted slowly from tho runway, bounced a couple of times and scared out Into the gathering mist. Within a few moments, ns inc Englishmen glanced back, the shore becamo blurred and then disappeared entirely. They were on their way---to fame or death.
 They expected the worst flying conditions. The worst came. A thick fog, impenetrablo us a while cotton blanket, blocked the way. They might have turned back but for Alcock and Brown there wns no turning back. They fought on- ward.
 A Close Shave
 The fog didn't clear away. It was necessary to fly by dead rec- koning and they couldn't tel lhow far they were from the surface of the ocean. Once the motor sput- tered, hesItated. The plane dlp- ped downward and they thought they were doomed---if they had time to think. But suddenly the motor commenced to fire regular Iy again. As they caught n fleet ig glimpse of rolling waves Q few feet below their plane. Alcock jerked open the throttle, nosed the plane upward and with q vibrat- ing roar 1t lifted out of danger.
 They were in fog nearly all the way. Sometimes they flew as hlgn aE 12. 900 feet; at others they sail- cd on for miles only 800 feet above the sea.

fashionable, to say that there is no

Tsador Miller, Furrier,
500 IIth Street, N. w.

Isador Miller, who is
today one of Washington's
leading manufacturing fur
riers, was born in Poland.
For many years his family
had been engaged in the
fur business in their coun-
try, SO from the time he
was able to walk Mr.. Mil
ler's time was spent in
learning this business.
In 1921, when II years
of age. Mr.. Miller came to
the United States to learn
the methods used by leading
furriers of this country.
He settled in Washington
and obtained immediate
employment with an old,
reliable Washington firm,
where for eight months he
studied American ways Of
making fur coats and
wraps and remodeling. His
reputation gradually be-
came known to customers
of the firm where he was
employed and they in turn
talked about his work in
other fur shops. At the
end of his first eight
months in this city he
was offered a position
with a more prominent fur
rier, which he accepted.
His history in the fur
business from that time
on has been one Of sue
cess.
In 1926 Mr.. Miller
opened a. shop Of his own
at 500 Eleventh Street,
Northwest. obtaining a
lease for the first floor of
the building for one year.
He soon found that the
first floor was inadequate
for his business, as his
patronage grew daily. His
reputation rapidly became
known through the word
of-mouth advertising Of his
customers and his news
paper advertising. and he
soon found that he must ac-
quire more space, so he
leased the second floor Of
his present building and
converted it int d work
shop, using the first floor
exclusively for display and
a reception room.
Mr.. Miller specializes in
remodeling and repairing,
and has made "Made.To-
Order" fur coats for some
of Washington's leading
women citizens. He at.
tributes his success to the
fact that he renders per.
sonal service to his Gus
toners, meeting each GUS
toner individually at all
times, regardless of how
busy he may be. All work
done in his shop is guar
anteed. regardless of its
nature. Mr.. Miller is
recommended by Wash
ington's most leading fur
riers. His prices are at
all times fair for the fine
quality of work produced.
Mr.. Miller is a member
of the Central Business
Mems Association, which
association is pledged to

ROBERTS. SCANS
GERMAN SPY
DOCUMENTS

Four documents, their authen.
ticity disputed by Germany and
affirmed by the United States,
today held the attention Of Asso-
ciate Justice owen j. Roberts of
the United States Supreme Court.
The United States relies upon
these documents to establish Ger
man liability for the Black Tom
and Kingsland, N. j., munitions
explosions, which claimed three
lives and entailed sac, 900, 900 in
property damage.
Magnifying Glass
Roberts, sitting as umpire Of
the United States and German
claims commission, used a great
nnagnifying glass to study expert
exhibits,
AS special counsel for the Gov
eminent in the trials growing out
of the Teapot Dome investigation,
he gained a wide knowledge Of dis
puted documents.
Robert w. Bonyge, the Amerl.
can agent, offered rebuttal argu-
ment to show that the Frederick
Hermann message written in pin
pricks and lemon Juice could not
have been faxed" in the last
few years as claimed by Germany.
He said:
even if the three other docu-
ments-the WOnziak letters
were not accepted as genuine,
the Hermann message clearly
shows the two explosions were
caused by German sabotage
agents"
Will Be Held Up
Several weeks may elapse be-
fore the commission hands down
its decision, from which neither
nation can appeal. In the event
the case is decided in favor Of the
United States, hearings will be
held to fix the amount Of dam
ages to the several hundred claim
ants. If the commission decides
that German official responsible
ity has not been established, the
United States will have no further
recourse.
