 On June 2s, to 20, 1881, Maryse Bastie from the Midi performed the unusual feat of flying 2,796.91O kilometers from Le Bourget to Urino, Russia in a light plane. No other woman has equalled this performance.

If no such person is nominated the postmas- ter general shall acquaint the civil service commission with this fact. the civil service will hold an open competitive examination to test the fitness of all applicants for the va cancy. When the examination has been held and the papers have been rated, the commission shall furnish a certificate of not less than three eligib1es, if they can be obtained, to the postmaster general, who shall submit to the president the name of one of the highest three.
 No applicant shall have passed his sixty-sixth birthday, The com mission, in rating the papers, shall add five points to the rating of any candidate who is a veteran of the World War, Spanish War, or Philippine Insurrection.

Wall Street Plunger
 Ls Strangely Missing

nancial world until after the 1907 panic.
 Quite, unostentatious, he felt his way cautiously when he came to Wall street in 1903. Then the fa- nous plunger was 25, and he pos- sessed $10O for each year of his life. He plunged into the copper boom of 1905. and played the market long. Two years later he switched to the short side and emerged from the ruins of the panic with $3,000,000.
 "All I did was look ahead" he explained.
 | In the lush two year period which began in 1917, Livermore stacked his last dollar in the mar ket. With what older, more ex- perienced operators termed "un- canny foresight" he unloaded his Steel stocks and dropped out of that picture. Almost overnight, he changed from a bull to a bear; his holdings in petroleum and other stocks he sold short.
 The charms of the wheat pit caught the youthful operators fancy next after he was reported to have fared badly in securities. Friends asserted he took $10,000,000 with him into the Chicago pits and left with as much more in profits.
 One of the fastest deals of his career followed the 1925 debacle in the wheat pit. Livermore sold 5,000,000 bushels short, took a 10 per cent profit, then jumped to the long side for a similar gain. In a few hours time, he cleared more than $1.000,0Q0 profit.
 His "uncanny foresight" failed him in 1929, and the "boy plunger" saw his vast fortune wiped out overnight. Fourteen years earlier he had declared himself a bank rupt, owing, it was believed, $2,- OO,000.
 Two years later he recouped his losses, paid his debts and started anew.
 The same philosophy guided him in his come back attempt during the last three years.
 Livermore's manner of living was as meteoric as his financial ca- reer. He was born, a poor boy, on the farm of Hiram Livermore at West Acton, Mass. At 16, he was a quotation marker in a Bos- ton securities house.
 With speculation in his blood, he made a small investment at a bucket shop and made his first market killing - profit of $3.12.
 While in the money, Livermore scattered largesse with abandon. Each of his three wives was fa- nous for her jewels. His $1,325,- 900 Great Neck home, was one of the finest estates on the North

(COntlnueQ rom FdSe lD commission still failed to approve the premises as suitable.
 The finding of the empty bottles I and glasses also raises moot point. Local dealers feel that | the law isN behind them in their
 belief that the empty containers cannot be considered as evidence of sale. Even under the prohibi- ton law, it is pointed out, liquor had to be actually found for sale on the premises to be considered as evidence.
 Another point brought up by | the test case is the right of in spectors to search taverns for ev- | idence of illegal liquor sale. It IS held by some members of the local association that state inspectors
 have no right to search througn | iceboxes and the like, but must confine their search to the tavern equipment proper.
 The Waterbury association plans | to make every effort to have Simp- sons license restored to him, ana are ready to fight the case as | thoroughly as necessary. The points at issue are so important that they feel the case to be a very important one. nInterest in the fight will not pc confined to this city. for 1t will pe the first serious attempt to gam
 back a license revoked for unsult- ability of premises. Another taV-f ern test case, on the right or an owner to sell hot lunches costlng more than 25 cents, is being backed by the Hartford branch of the state association.
