 -He May Be Knighted

New York, Aug 22.-CUP)- Journeys end for Captain James A. Mollison win be Croydon, Eng land, with New York only the western terminus of his trail blaz- ing flight.
 The little Scot left no doubt of his intention immediately after arriving here from Pennfield Ridge, N. B., at ABA D. m. yesterday.
 "Tll be back in England in 8 short time," was his only answer as to the time of take-off.
 Mollison landed at Roosevelt Field, L. T., amid scenes remini- scent of those created by Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh, his famous contemporary; crowds sursing the landing field, men trying to shake his hand, women running to kiss him.
 It was at this moment that Mol lison became just another arrival from a foreign country--to the U. $. government. Customs Inspectors w. B. Mitchell and J. V. Edwards advanced and went about their duty briskly. They asked Mollison what he had in the ship.
 Some old aviation clothes and some things like that" he an- swered. Then the flyer signed a card, certifying his ship had en- tered the Port of New York. and that he was pilot of the craft.
 Mollison was greeted officially by the city by George Mand. a mem- Der of the mayors reception com mittee.
 All I can say" Mollison replied.

 The merchants had stopped buy ang. They feared lower commodity prices. They held off in the hope of buying for less money. They were in such a position that even this small seasonal demand sent them hustling into the wholesalers and fobbers' markets.

TEST FIsHERMAN'S SKILL.
Barracuda and Szilfish Well Known for
Fighting Qualities.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, December ~
R,.-The barracuda and the sailfish-
the tiger and the speedster of the seas
will be sought by President Hoover in
Southern Florida waters.
The barracuda, with saber-like teeth
and a slender body. Is known as the
tiger Of the deep. 1t is considered one
Of the eamest Of all fighters: It some
times reaches a length Of feet, but
most Of the catches OF the Florida
coast are about 3 to 4 feet. The bara-
cuda Is shaped somewhat like the silver
mullet. Its jaws are strong enough and
teeth sharp enough to tear on a man $
arm at one snap.
The sailfisf-much-sought prize Of
any fishing expedition its blue
silver sides to the sun when hooked.
and draws perspiration from the anglers S
brow as it fights for its freedom. There's
an art in sailfshing southern Florida
waters, and the expeditions that come
back empty handed far outnumber
those that land the sails. The sail Is
member of the swordfish family.
But if the President fails to land
barracuda or sailf1sh he still may angle
for bonita, dolphin, amberjack, snapper,
shark and numerous other game fish
found adjacent to the great Guif
Stream.
