Amy Mollison Calls U. S. Marvellous,
With Language She Understands
British Aviatrix Finds
"InternaI Flying" a
Very Fine Thing

To Mrs. Amy Mollison, who was
Miss Amy Johnson, famous Brit
ish aviatrix, America Is a marvel
Gus country-a place where people
speak a language she can under
stand.
1t isn't very often she finds
such country. That's what
makes it doubly marvellous.
In all, or practically all of her
travelling experiences, she has
landed in some country where the
inhabitants couldn't understand
her and where she couldn't un-
derStand them. And so now that
she's in America for the first
time, it's a grand experience.
U. S. Flying Better
That's what makes flying so
much better in this country, she
says. Why, in England, when you
fly few miles, you find yourself
in country where they say
"parlez-Vous" or some such thing.
So, there you are. American lin
ternal' flying, as she phrases 1t,
is the thing.
And in addition to that, the
United States is an amazing"
country. Always progressing, al
ways moving so fast it's hard to
keep UP with it.
In one thing, however, Mrs.
MOlliSOn was diSaDpOinted That
is our airports. She had an idea
they were perfectly enormous"

foolishly try to bribe the members
of the parole board, and if mem
Der of this board should be tempted
and fall for a bribe, no doubt his
conscience would never rest in
peace, and possibly that is the rea-
son that to avoid temptation they
make it rule to release all pris-
oners at the expiration of one year,
(some exceptions), but this rule is
hard on some prisoners who just
become accustomed to the luxuries
Of the institution, when they are
again turned out in the cold world;
and they leave with the intention
that they will get back by hook or
crook.
On the other hand, for the bene-
fit of those who do not desire to
partake of our hospitality, we have
developed a class of criminal lawyer
who can prove to any jury that the
murderer, kidnaper or raper is in
sane, and therefore not responsible
for the act (crime). We have
lynchings in Maryland, California
and Missouri, AND we see such
newspaper head lines as: '.Civil-
ization goes backward" or Cali
fornia reverts to barbarism.'' In
my opinion the heading should
read: "Civilization revolts at bar
barism." Are we becoming more
civilized or more barbarous? 1
believe the average man is more
intelligent and more civilized. but
our laws and criminal practice have
not kept step with civilization. The
fault lies not with the people, but
with those responsible for law. Un-
der our jury system and criminal
procedure, the citizen who is by
choice law abiding citizen, real.
ICES today that the law too often
fails to satisfy those who wish to
protect and uphold civilization.

a promise of an everlasting torment

no fear OF a future punishment, how
about the pun shment meted out at

The criminal is sentenced by the
judge, lone to ten years at hard

oner is taken to the state prison
where he has just enough exercise
to. keep him in health and to give
him an appetite to enjoy the food
provided, which is in some in
stances better than that to which he

any talent as an entertainer, is en-
