Col. Lindbergh's Survey Flight.


Col. Lindbergh, accompanied by his
wife, intrepid companion of his flying
exploits nowadays, completed his sec
ond transatlantic flight when he landed
in the harbor of Copenhagen on Satur-
day afternoon from the Shetland
Islands, to be welcomed by the Danes
as fervently as the French greeted him
at lie Bourget in May. 1927. Neither
in distance nor in speed, Of course, did
last weeks crossing approximate in
drama the Lone Eagles immortal flight
from New York to Paris six years ago
in the Spirit of st. Louis, yet. in point
of practical Importance for aviation,
the colonels latest spanning Of the
ocean may come to be looked upon as
an achievement of epochal significance,
too. It had definitely utilitarian pur-
pose-to demonstrate the feasibility Of
regular air travel from North America
10 Europe in slow stages, avoiding long
passages over water, and to survey an
appropriate route.
The northerly air lanes which the
Iindberghs followed lend themselves
ideally for such journey, which was
undertaken in an exclusively explor-
atory spirit and in commensurately
leisurely fashion. The colonel and his
wife left New York by seaplane on July
9, so they were, roundly. seven weeks
en- route to Copenhagen, regulating
their plans so as to remain in touch as
much rs possible with their base ship,
the ra6io-eQuipped Danish steamer
Jelling, of 1909 tons. The flying couple
touched at ST. Johns, Newfoundland:

New Mortgage Laws.

From the New York Sun.
Some lending institutions Of good
repute have participated in the defici-
ency judgment racket, which became a
scandal calling for regulation. Under
judicial control this process should be
conducted without doing injury to the
rights of the mortgage. Such regula-
tion is undertaken in a bill enacted by
the New York Legislature recently.
The foreclosure moratorium declared
at the same time is effective only when
taxes and interest payments are kept
up and runs only until next July. It's
provisions apply to properties where
foreclosure has already been started
for non-payment of principal. and so
nullify many hastily prepared actions
brought in the last 80 days in an
ticipation of legislative relief for mort
gagors.

Who "Socked" Huey?

who Socked Huey and Why" is the
title of the latest mystery story in real
life to battle the American public. The
Louisiana 'Kingish." who happens to
be the senior Senator from Louisiana.
has claimed in statement to the press
that he was 'ganged' by four or five
men and cut with knife, while he was
attending charity party at fashion,
able Long Island club. Other versions
are that an unknown" taking offense
at the antics and words of the King
fish, smashed him in the face and on
the head.
Whoever hit Huey Long is making a
mistake in concealing his identity. Un-
doubtedly the unnamed hero of the in
cident would be worth his weight in gold
to the movies or to the vaudeville
stage. The longer the mystery prevails
the greater the value once the "socker'
becomes known.
The grief and sorrow of the public at
the socking of Huey is one of the amaz-
ing features of the incident. So lar as
the public prints are concerned-and
they are myriad-this grief and sorrow
on the part OF the people has been val
iantly repressed. Indeed, despite the
fact that Huey is a member OF the
Senate of the United States, the indlg-
nation of the people at this attack has
been so restrained as to raise grave
doubts that sorrow is felt at all. The
comments of the members of the Long
Island club and its guests at the party
where the seeking" took place consti-
tute paeans of praise of the socker of
the Senator.
What will the Senate itself do about
this socking of one of its members? Will
it authorize the expenditure of 100000
to conduct an investigation to determine
the cause of the attack on Huey? Per-
haps the Senator from Virginia, Mr..
Carter Glass, or the Democratic leader
of the Senate, Mr.. Joseph T. Robinson
of Arkansas. will offer the resolution
for such an inquiry. Or perhaps they
will not.
There have been times in the Senate
chamber itself when It seemed that
Huey was about to be socked. But his
opponents may have considered the
source of offensive remarks and have
restrained themselves. Mr.. Long has
basked in the sunshine of publicity
growing out of his offensive and Ill
bred manners and actions. But here at
last he has received publicity of which
he is not proud, publicity which has
stllng him into referring to newspaper
reporters and newspaper publishers as
"skunks'' and what not. Can it be that
the 'Kingfsh" has been hooked? Is
he on the toboggan? Is he, after all,
merely the Catfish" that his own
brother pictured him? There have been
signs recently that all has not gone
we'll with Huey, either in Louisiana or
out of it. The Roosevelt administration
has turned its back on him in the ap-
pointment of Federal officers in Louisi-
ana, causing Long to shout in Mil
waukee yesterday, ITO hell with patron
age" Doubtless the country will long
mourn Huey, if. indeed. he is to pass. as
one of the popular figures of the day.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

Templeton Jones, budding aQuarist
along with thousands Of other fish
fans" the country over. enjoyed car
toon in a recent number of the Sat-
urday Evening Post.
The sketch showed two ladies seated
on a sofa. one saying to the other, 1T
started with little pair of guppies. u
Around the room were aquariums OF
all sizes and shapes. Is Of them, some
on top Of each other; one in the fire.
place and one in the form of a bowl of
a table lamp.
A variety of fishes disported them
selves therein, while the master of all
this. his left hand open. palm up, and
his right palm down, with thumb and
index finger extended. went about feed
ing his fascinating charges.
Every person who is interested in
keeping tropical fishes in the home
every person who knows an aquarist OF
any degree, recognized the essential
Uruthfulness of the sketch, although it
was humorously exaggerated. as such
things must be to make their point.
The little drawing accentuated two
things. the increasing hold this pic
turesque hobby takes upon its devotees,
small tanks which the fan" acquires.
Templeton Jones didn't start with
guppies. but with three fairly fat gold
fish, which he removed from tub in
the back yard, in order to carry them
over the Winter. (This was in the
Fall of 1922
When he brought them indoors, into
what he considered large aquarium
he had no idea of some day joining
the ranks of fish fans" as they like
to call themselves.
He simply felt that he was doing a
kind deed in cruel world.
His goldfish, however. did not seem
to appreciate his actions. They were
forever gasping at the surface for air
Later Jones learned that this was
not to be wondered at, seeing that the
creatures had to adjust themselves from
10 gallons of water. out in the great
open, to half that amount inside.
At the time. however, the gaspine
smote the susceptible Jones to the
heart.
The five-gallon aquarium seemed very
large, he could not vision himself with
one of greater capacity; hence he wor-
ried over his three fishes for days.
Then he gave them to a friend VINO
had large pool, in which they would
happily pass the Winter in deep wa
ter. with Gods full quota of oxygen for
goldfishes.
This left the kind-hearted gentleman
with one nice tank, capacity five gal
Ions. or thereabouts.
All this time, while he was fooling
around with the red fellows Of the carp
family Templeton Jones had been cast
ing what used to be called sleeps
eyes at some pterophyllum scalare,
commonly called angel fish, at the
dealers.
Angel fish. with their graceful
wings" their black bars and their
long feelers, strike the newcomer to
this hobby as scarcely being real.
1t is a feeling which he never es-
capes thereafter
No matter how long he keeps fishes
or how many varieties he harbors, in
how many tanks whatsoever. the sea-
lare is his first and his last love, there
is something so exotic about 1t.
1t is needless to state that Jones pur-
chased himself four nice angel fish.
And put them in his tank.

"Good old Heine" and "Come
on Goose" as they are known
by thousands of baseball fans,
represent the batting power of
the Griffs this year, and Man
ager Cronin, realizing the fact,
has it mapped out to let them
take things easy for awhile, par
ticularly in the first few exhibi.
ton games the team has on
schedule, in order that they may
reach the form expected of them
once the season opens.
Idle Saturday
Therefore the pair are not
among those listed to go to Mo-

the initial grapefruit contest of

ris will play left field in Ma
nush's place while Sam Rice, the
old war horse, will hold down
Goslin's right field position.
Ossie Bluege also may be kept
out of the first few games. One
of the chief reasons right now
is because Ossie has a severe cold.
Another is that Cronin wants to
give Cecil Travis, the young
Chattanooga star, every oppor-
tunity he can to make good as
A. big Lacquer. Travis is included
in the lsit who'll make the trip
to Mobile Saturday. The others
include Joe Kuhel, Johnny Kerr,
Buddy Myer, Bob Boken, Fred
Schultz, Cliff Bolton, Moe Berg
and Bill Johnson, the recruit
catcher.

Three rookie pitchers will get
three inning assignments but
Manager Cronin is undecided at
