Breath Taking

His record is breath-tak-
ing. With both legs In a
plaster cast he flew over
the Andes Mountains at a
height of 10000 feet. He
linked three North Amer
lean capitals, by flying at
215 miles an hour from Ot-
tawa to Washington and
from Washington to Mexico
City.
On one occasion he was
flying at a height of more
than 10000 feet when he
lost his senses in the rarl-
fled air. His instruments
were frozen in a tempera-
ture of 81 degrees below
zero. Before he regained
his senses he had fallen half
way to the earth, like a
tumbling leaf. Then he
came to and just managed
to snap his ship out her
dive. Again he was caught
in a 5O-mile gale and his
nlane was hurled out OF
control. But he managed
to land with only a broken
wing-the planes, not JIM
my's.
He flew blind at Mitchell
Field, the first, or at least
one of the first, airmen to
demonstrate the value OF
artificial controls, sitting IN
a covered cockpit, seeing
neither earth nor sky, and
made a perfect landing.
Major Doolittle is one Of
the luckiest of fliers or to-
day he would certainly be
numbered among the more
celebrated angels. For he
flies through thunder and
lightning and rain, turning
up his snub nose at storms.
His daily sport is to play
hide and seek with death.

little, and long may he
wave!

LISTEN, WORLD!
BY Elsie Robinson

morse that starts nothing IS
merely emotional indulgence,
and as wicked as the original
sin.
It's as silly and selfish to go
around raising Cain with your
self, and then doing nothing
about it, as it is to raise Cain
with everybody else. In either
case, you're making a general
nuisance Of yourself-and loaf
ing on your job.
PEOPLE WHO MAKE A
RACKET OF BEING SORRY
AREN'T REALLY SORRY AT
ALL. THEY'RE JUST LOOK
ING FOR A HAND-OR A
HAND-OUT.
There is no easier way to
get either a hand or a hand
out than to be professional
repenter. Both you and the
other fellow enjoy it. The
other fellow gets a bang out
of hearing about your wicked
ness, and thinking how much
better and smarter he is than
you; and you get a bang out
Of hearing yourself.
If you really don't like to
be blamed-if you honestly
want to eliminate the mistakes
that cause that blame-the
process is simple.
Every time you're blamed,
you're blamed for something.
NOT MERELY SOMETHING
THAT YOU'VE DONE, BUT
SOMETHING THAT YOU
ARE.
The faulty thing you do
outside is only a symptom Of
some weakness you have in
side. When you're blamed, you
are really being blamed for
that inner weakness, not for
the outer failure.
IF YOU WANT TO STOP
THE BLAME, FIND THE
WEAKNESS.
Don't go off into an orgy
Of self-pity, resentment or re-
morse. Don't satisfy your dra-
matte instincts by staging a
spectacular confession or re-
venge. That sort of thing is
diverting indoor sport but, in
the end, will buy you nothing
but contempt and humiliation.
STOP BEING PROUD BE.
CAUSE YOU'RE GAME"

THE WEAKNESS.
THEN GET BUSY!

Do you build on criticism?

Did I ever tell you about
Pete Olson? Pete belonged to
our church, when I was little
girl. In his youth Pete had
been the town stew, but those
days had passed long since.
Pete had become a lazy,
mouthy old loafer-With a most
satisfactory racket.
Pete's racket was simple.
Every Wednesday night he
arose in prayer meeting and
repented his sins. Tears flowed
from his rheumy eyes as he
did so. Emotion gulped and
quavered in his wrinkled throat.
But actually Pete was hav-
ing a swell time being sorry.
For here was the perfect
chance to relieve those wicked
old sprees. hog the spot light
and get a lot of sweet kisses
from the saints for so doing.
What more could Pete want?
What more could any lazy, self
indulgent, egotistical weakling
want?
Yet. Pete had the system. He
made remorse exciting, and
profitable. And learned about
taking the blame from him.
Not that it isn't big and
brave to take the blame.

Incredible Things

A year or so ago this
writer was about to smack
golf ball and was at the
top of a prayerful swing
when there came from high
overhead a shattering roar.
The swing was never COM
pleted and the ball was
never smacked, for a show
was on far better than
golf.
Up in the sunshine, some
1000 feet, a young gentle
man in an Army pursuit
plane was doing incredible
things. He was riding that
plane as a cowboy rides a
bucking cayuse. He was
riding it as a god might
playfully jockey streak of
loose lightning.
And suddenly this amaz-
ing young gentleman turned
loose the power of 200 gal
Looping horses and dived head
long for the green earth be-
meath him. He came roaring
and streaking down like a
bolt from the blue-a des-
perate thing to see. The
roar of his motors was
deafening as he plunged
earthward. And just as it
seemed as if he must go driv-
ing into the solid earth, when
disaster seemed inevitable,
he swerved suddenly and
miraculously upward, like a
meadowlark curving from a
field Of daisies, and shot sky
ward at the same impossible
angle. Jimmy Doolittle at his
best, or maybe even his
second best.

Three-Minute Journeys
BY Temple Manning

When last in Europe I prom
ised myself to pass a few days
at Zurich, a visit that proved
to be we'll worth while. Zurich,
the largest city in Switzerland,
situated nearly 1,400 feet above
sea level, is city dating back
to the pre- Christian era. Yet
it is progressive and modern
without sacrificing any Of its
individuality.
It is really one Of the most
beautiful of the large or i'm
portant cities of Europe and I
found that I preferred it to
many a town that has a more
cosmopolitan following - per-
haps that was the reason!
The people Of Zurich are
proud of its many famous in
stitutions, the ancient land
marks, and the unrivalled posi-
ton at the head Of Lake Eur
ich with its panorama OF the
Alps forming a white back
drop. A long line of men emf
nent in many fields testify to
the position gained by Zurich
through the centuries. 1t is
proud of it's great university
with its celebrated medical
school and it's wonderful gal
lery and museums.
It is, of course, a haltlng
place for tourists bound for the
Engadine and other holiday
spots, but it is something more,
a city whose charm grows on
one with each succeeding day.
It's blend Of a business city.

Thunder over China, in
bright mid-atternoon, a
hundred thousand Chinese
packed around a flying
field Of the young republic
crane their necks and strain
their eyes as an American
plane, driven by an Amer
lean flying man, plays hide
and seek with the laws of
gravity. 1t is Jimmy Doo-
little, the Human Thunder
bolt, strutting his stuff for
the amazement and delight

much at home in the heat

he was along the mild air

tourist center and holiday re-
sort, combined with ITS beauti-
full surroundings, makes it
unique.
Zurich has two and a half
miles of quays that encircle the
bay from the Belvoir park to
the Zurichorn and this forms
a fine promenade with good
views Of the Alps. To the east
is the Zurichberg, a natural
park, the slopes Of which are
studded with villas.
There are lovely walks, ever
ascending, gay with flowers
and lined with trees. One be-
comes fond of climbing, not
only for the exercise but for
the panoramic views that re-
ward one from the summit Of
the Dolder.
Perhaps this all does sound
rather guide booky but then
Zurich is the type of town
that contains all the things
that guide books stress and
describe. But no guide book
can adequately convey the
beauty of the scene from a
mountain summit when a
Venetian fete with fireworks
and Illuminated boats is in
progress on the lake below.
It is enchanting.
The city fathers have pre-
served much of the neighbor-
hood round the city. There is
beautiful Sihlwald forest with
its nearby deer park. There
are good golf courses on the
Dolder and near Walkiton.

while they would like to see the
work done, they have not got the
money for the assessments. The
work will cost about 50 a front foot
they were informed. Mayor Hayes
said that he did not wish to force
any expense on the people. How

To the mayor and Corporation
Counsel Charles. S. O'Connor was
referred the request of Mrs Ange-

the collection Of her sewer assess
ment be deferred. She was not at
the original hearing on the laying
of the sewer due to an error. The
city had planned to lay the sewer
from Watertown avenue to Marion
street but it was finally extended
to Bunker Hill avenue taking in
Mrs Rizk's property. She cannot af-
ford the assessment right now, she
told the board.

Further steps towards making
the Thomaston avenue paving job
a permanent one were taken last
night at the bi-monthly meeting of
the board Of works when the Con-

was granted permission to install
gas main in the thoroughfare.
This work must be done before
the state lays the new pavement.
At the present time the city . is
diligently pushing ahead with its
sanitary and storm sewer project in

that the power company, while ex-
cavating for the new gas main, will
also lay any underground conduits
that it finds advisable and neces-
sary.
A hearing was held on the pro-
posed layout of Drake street. Only
one property owner was in favor

The United Press was informed
ON good authority that the Rookie

senate committee yesterday that he
had not known of the fat check.
In 1929, Fitzpatrick was head OF
the Prairie Oil and Gas Company,
ana Prairie Pipe Line Company.
Sinclair wanted to acquire the
Prairie organization by merger
with his own concern. The gift to
Fitzpatrick came from a $12,002,-

the Sinclair Consolidated Oil Cor
poration.
Negotiations for the Prairie
Sinclair merger began two years
before Fitzpatrick received the un-

It was predicted that the senate
would absorb all the remaining

and that within a short time the

ing 1t formally yesterday, Musso-
1ini said frankly he never had
liked the chamber of deputies be-
cause it was a relic of the past,
alien to fascist minds.
"a chamber means lot of po-
1itical parties attached to the min
isterial wagon" he said. ''It is
an anachronistic institution which
we found when we took power IL
years ago. With the dissolution of
the chamber, a cooperative struc-
ture will replace 1t in Toto, because
young fascist blood refuses to get
stale in this old environment"
Advanced fascist leaders hailed
the new deal with great enthu-
siasm to-day. But the older men.
jealous Of the young fascist blood"
felt themselves as members of the
old political school cut off from
all activity, which was what II
