Then sea jobs came seldom. SO he
took to the docks, juggling heavy
burdens, loading and unloading ships
from the four corners of the earth
as they came to rest in New York.
And every night he would play his
violin. the strange foreign melodies
coming down to other tenement
jewellers.
Then there was no work. He
pawned his watch, the trinketS he
had picked up in faraway lands, and
then his clothes. And still he played
his violin.
There came the day when he did
not play. He sold his violin and
barred the door to his room
And when policemen, called by his
landlady, broke into the room, they
found the dark man sitting on his
bed. A gas tube was in his mouth
and he had been dead for four DAYS.

Land the beat of the tom-tom

center Of a controversy today owe
the city's right to sponsor street
dancing.
From a pulpit in the shadow Of
the city hall came the verbal
mandate of E. Howard Cadle,
evangelist. they shall not dance
And across a chasm Of demands
of the dance-minded came the
answer of Lieutenant Frank owen
Of the traffic department, 1T is
to dance
The fight started a week ago
when Cadle, in a radio address,
flayed city officials for "periling
the morals of the younger gene
ration by making dancing free
to all"
CADLE'S campaign was re-
~ warded with some success
when A. c. Sallee, superintendent
of parks, had no dance sched-
uled for tonight in the northwest
section of the city.
But the victory may be short
lived if Owen carries out his
threat to stage a street dance
next Saturday night at Fountain
square. He said hundreds of
phone calls have been received
from persons who want the street
dances continued.
Declaring he will fight to the
last ditch to halt the practice,
Cadle today reiterated his asser-
lions Of a week ago.
The city could not do anything
worse than to have street dances
which arouse passions of young
people Cadle said.
TN times when people are brok-
Il en- hearted, and in trouble. the
city permits the roping off of pub
lie streets for a tom-tom dance,
but refused to rope off a section
at Riverside park for baptising
Christians"
He referred to the city's refusal
to give Uldine Utley, girl evange-
list, police protection when she
baptised about 100 converts at
Riverside park several weeks ago.
I'VE staged the baptism anyway,
but we're forced to listen to the
ieers of hoodlums," Cadle de-
clared.
To which Owen retorted:
Every knock is a boost from
some people"

than the old record established in
January, 1881, by Bobby Trout and
Edna May Cooper. The old record
was 122 hours and so minutes.
They were dog tired today, but
convinced that they and their plane
were good for many hours more.
They want to stay in the air ten
days. If they do, they will establish
a record of 240 hours.
But G. S. Casey Jones, manager
OF the airport. declared he probably
would order them down Sunday.
Those girls have done wonder

them to risk their lives, and I think
Sunday will be the limit of safe en-

and hoated to earth, waving to the
girl pilots as his parachute carried
him past the endurance plane.
The Flying Boudoir swung away
from its escort. and dropped low
over the airport, dipping its wings
in salute. Then it zoomed up to
$500 feet, continuing its aerial
antics.
Sheafs of congratulatory tele-
grams and messages were taken
aloft for the girl f1iers. There was
a message from Mrs. Thaden's
parents in Bentonville, Ark: another
from her husband in Baltimore.
William l.. Marsalis, a COM
mercial pilot, sent a note to his
record-breaking wife.

Neither Mrs. Thaden nor Mrs.
Marsalis is a novice at flying. Both
are 26, and have flown for several
years.
Mrs. Thaden in 1920 won the first
women's air derby from the Pacific
coast to Cleveland.
She has held the Women's altitude
record. the nonrefueling endurance
mark, and the speed record.
Mrs. Marsalis learned to fly in
1927. She participated in the ma

Later she toured the United

air circus as its only woman flier.
Good weather today indicated the
