Amelia Earhart's Flying
Feats Set Records

And when she arrived in New
York, the ovation she received
was almost as loud and tumultu-
GUS as the acclaim given Indy.
But Mrs. Putnam, or just Miss
Earhart as she was then, isn't
famous only for her distance
flights.
The young woman also holds
the world speed record for wom-
en-, having flown 1877 miles an
hour.
Kept Romance Secret
Shy and reticent about most
everything, Miss Earhart kept a
curious nation completely in the
dark about her romance with the
backer of the famous flight of
Friendship, George Palmer Put
nam, well known New York pub
Usher.
But on February 8, 1881, it
leaked out that the famous flier
was wed to the publisher, whom
she had met for the first time
when the initial plans for the
flight were made.
While she was winging her way
across the Atlantic in 1928, how
ever, back home, Samuel Chap
man, a young man of Los
Angeles, was cheering her on. At
that time she was engaged to be
married to him,
Made AutOgirO Record
Not content with the accepted
type Of plane, Amelia bought her
self an autogiro last year and
accomplished the first coast-to-
coast autogiro flight.
This flight was a huge success,
except for one mishap. At Abb
lene, Tex, as she took off for the
last lap of the flight, her craft
crashed into two parked automo-
biles. But Amelia came out of
the wreckage smiling and un.
daunted.
She has accomplished many air
featS in a few years. What will
she do next?

PASTOR IN TILT.
At TRIAL WITH
CHANCELLOR
Rev. H. r. Davidson Denies He
Put Arm Around Vain Girl
on Trip to Norwich

LONDON May Il IN.S.).
T he nervousness" which
prompted the Rev. Harold
Francis Davidson to put his
arms around young girls was
brought out today at the con-
tinuation of his trial on
charges of immortality.
Resuming the witness stand
to refute charges of immoral
conduct with a score Of Lor-
don tea-shop mattresses and
actresses. the 60-year-old rec
tor of Stiffkey Church, Nor
folk, engaged in a slight tilt
with the chancellor, presiding
at the trial in consistory court.
The Rev. Davidson was ques-
toned by his assistant counsel,
Ryder Richardson, who said:
cit Is suggested that you are
nervous and use your hands a
great deal. 1t is usual for you
to touch people, is it nOt?"
Had Better Not
'T have restrained myself con-
stantIy from touching the chan
Cell0r."
The chancellor said:
"YOu had better not"
Much of today's questioning
had to do with the rector'S al
legged relations with Winifred
Vain, an actress whom he took
on a motor trip to Norwich.
The clergyman flatly denied
putting his arm around Miss
Vain, as alleged by other passen-
gers in the car.
Davidson said:
"YOu couldn't do it in a
motor car like that If you were
sitting decently."
His counsel said:
"Were you in anything but
q decent pOSitiOn?"
Certainly not"
ALI Right When Sober
Davidson told the court that
Miss Vain is now In a Roman
Catholic convent, seeking to be-
come q nun. He added:
II spent my time on that
automobile trip trying to pre-
vent her from becoming q
Catholic"
The rector then was queS-
toned concerning testimony of
Mrs. Mary Osborne, rooming-
house proprietress, who charged
he brought many girls to his
flat. He said:
"She never objected when
she was sober. When she had
. little too much to drink she
would get unpleasant
During the questioning, the
chancellor warned Davidson
against "fidgeting."
His counsel explained:
HE never remained in one
position for five minutes in
his life."
The chancellor indicated sur
prise when the Reverend Davidson
admitted he went into the girls
dressing room in a London
music hall.
The rector explained the visits
were in connection with his work
as chaplain to the Actors Church
Union. He said:
at was my duty. There was
nothing immoral in it,"
"DO you know a large num-
ber of waitreSseS?"
"At least four or five hun
dred. Some of them 1 know
exceedingly WELL"
Davidson was asked whether he
told Miss Burn she was going to
have eight children. He said:
Mattresses often ask me to
read their hands. 1 don't at
tach much Importance to palm
istry but / always examine
hands when 1 get the chance"

Unions Are LabOr's Power,
DOnnelly Says

Wilkes Barre, Pa-Strong trade
unions are the workers chief organ
ization for their protection, declared
Judge Philip Donnelly, of Rochester,
N. Y, in an address before the Ma
tional Conference of Catholic Chari-
ties.
Judge Donnelly denounced unfair
employers, modern efficiency systems,
scrapping of workers because of age,
and other practices which, he assert
ed, have imperiled the position of the
working people.
"There can be no doubt that the
chief difficulty encountered by the
working man is the frame of mind of
the average employer toward his en-
ployes," Judge Donnelly said.
"Now, if there is to be any true
progress in industrial society, that
attitude must be changed. Practical
experience with the average employer
convinces me that the only way that
frame of mind can be changed is by
the formation of strong industrial
unions. News Letter.

one faction is using its time and ener-
gy to destroy the opposing faction.
Such bitter divisions of partisan
ship and factional internal strife are
very injurious to any organization
that permits such discord to continue
until a permanent breach is brought
about. Frequently such internal strife
completely wrecks an organization.
In the long and trying march of or
ganized labor internal strife and dis
session have caused more setbacks
than all other causes combined. You
cannot hope to advance nor even to
hold your own so long as you fritter
away your strength fighting one an
other.
Beware of the member of organized
labor who is always making propo-
sails that create futile and harmful
divisions within the labor movement.
He is either a misguided fanatic or
he is the willing tool of the enemies
of organized labor. No matter which
it is the result is the same East

THE ACCUSING FINGER
POINTS

We are in a condition called de-

There is unemployment. Stores
that once were crowded are almost
empty. Factory wheels are idle. Men,
women and children are hungry.
We are in condition called de-

If industrialists and bankers took
workers generally into conference
and if workers joined in making de-

"Well, for whatever is wrong we are
all responsible" and we could all get

ment.
But industrialists and bankers dc
not generally take workers into con

Divided We Fail-United We Win

No truer maxim was ever put in
words than the penetrating slogan
which was born in revolutionary days,
when the need for standing together
was apparent to everybody. Omitted
we stand and divided we fall" is a
battlecry for cooperation and unity
that has never been surpassed.
To organized labor this slogan ap-
plies with exceptional force and accu-
racy. Neither local unions nor the
movement of organized labor, as a
whole, can ever hope to make any par
ticular headway, either in holding

Whenever internal dissention is
permitted to creep into an organiza-
ton, no matter what the cause may
be and regardless of how it is
brought about, that organization is
weakened by such division on the in
side of it. Honest difference of opin-
ion is not necessarily internal strife

HOW TO KILL YOUR
LOCAL

Don't go to the local meetings.
If you do, go late.
If the weather is bad and doesn't
suit you, don't think of going.
If you do attend meeting, find
fault with the officers and members.
Never accept office as it is easier
to criticize than do things.
Get sore if you are not appointed
on committees, but if you are ap-
pointed do not attend the committee
meetings.
If asked by the president to give
your opinion on some matter, tell
him you have nothing to say, but
after the meeting tell everyone how
things should be done.
Do nothing more than is absolutely
necessary. but when members use
their ability to help matters along,
howl that the local is run by clique
or gang.
Hold your back dues or don't pay
at all.
Don't bother about getting new
members. "Let Tom, Dick or Harry
do it."
If you want to see your local pros
per and become benefit to all of its
members, AVOID all of the above
suggestions.

BLAME SUN SPOTS
FOR "HARD TIMES"

If the sun didn't put us on the
spot, then it put its spots on us. In
other words, the suns spots caused
the depression (hard times have been
blamed on almost everything else, so
why not on the sun?). A study of
sun spots made by the Dominion OBJ
servatory of the department of in
terror at Ottawa. Can, is reported
to have indicated that profound
fluctuations in living conditions and
life in general accompany fluctua-
tions in these heavenly or solar
phenomena. A recent bulletin from
that department points out that in
dividual sun spots vary greatly in
size, some being as small as the
earth while others are five or six
times as large. Complete records of
sun spots kept by certain countries
since 1850 show that each month
number. From these monthly num-
bers a yearly average is figured.
The yearly numbers are said to in
crease from minimum to a maxi
mum in from nine to fourteen years
with an average duration for a cycle
of about eleven years This fluctua-
tion is commonly called the eleven
year sun-spot cycle. These cycles are
accompanied on the earth by fluctua-
tiOns in the amount of sunlight re-
ceived, precipitation, clOudness, tenn
perature, chemical composition of the
atmosphere, electromagnetic condi-
tiOns, etc. all physical elements
which control living conditions for
all forms of life.-Pathfinder Maga-
