these big bills in exchange for checks,
and, before long, millions of them dis
appeared. The federal reserve consid-
ers it a good sign that they are COM
ing out from hiding.
Just before the bank crisis the
amount of big bills in hiding rose to
one billion Line hundred millions. OF
these large bills, three hundred and
fifty millions have recently returned
to the United States treasury and to
reserve banks, which, according to the
federal reserve, indicates ''better
times"
Two French flyers, Capt. Maurice
Rossi and Lieut.. Paul Codes, landed
on Long Island after an attempt to
fly nonstop from Paris to California,
5000 miles. The two Frenchmen are
said TO be greatly Inundated by their
inability to fly on and reach Cali
fOrnia, where a glorious reception
awaited them. ......
1t would seem that flying the At
lantic westward, infinitely more diff
cult than going the other way, Is
sufficient accomplishment, considering
that less than twenty-five years ago
Lord Northcliffe was offering ten thou
sand pounds to any man that would
fly across the little English channel
The day is not far away when men
will fly nonstop from Paris to San
Francisco as a matter of course, and
from anywhere on earth to any other
spot on earth. ." r.rsE
The people and government Of Cuba
are trying to find four assassins ac-
cused of attempting to murder Jeffer-
son Caffery, United States ambassa-
dor. The real Cubans, intelligent peo-
pie, seek no quarrel with the United
States. They remember the Maine"
and what happened to Spain after
that ship was sent to the bottom.
Spain was driven out Of Cuba and all
the way home across the Atlantic and
out of the Philippines as well.
Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt, wife Of
the President, an able, energetic and
kind-hearted woman, went to Alder
son, w. Va, to inspect the federal
prison for women and speak to the
400 inmates. For such an address, or
any address to any prisoners, the best
text is the well-known remark Of the
Bohemian John Huss, looking at a
poor drunkard In the gutter: But for
the grace of God there lies John
Huss." ...- .... ...
Mrs. Roosevelt talks over the radio,
and for doing so is paid $500 min
ute. Others do the same and are paid
as much or even more, but Mrs.
Roosevelt gives all her radio receipts
to charity.
Not many Of the others do that.
Mussolini, observing worldwide
preparation for war, and no disarma-
ment, says, "If I must fight, must"
and gets ready, wastes no time sob
bling or signing.
Before 1910, beginning at once, he
will spend one thousand million lire
on fighting surface ships and the same
huge sum on fighting airships.
MANS tragic destiny is war;" says
long hard times, to meet the war bills.
At least 80 per cent of Europe
wants peace, and does not know how
to get It.
The Century of Progress" EXPOSE
ton is opened for the second year with
a success big enough to please even
Chicago. Anything must be big to
satisfy Chicago.
Already it is apparent that this
years greater and better exposition
will eclipse the first year, in attend
ance and in every other way.
Henry Ford was there to inspect
his new exposition buildings. Before
he realized it, half a dozen young
Americans, twelve to fifteen years old,
had recognized him, appointed him
their guide, without pay, and kept him
busy for an hour explaining everything
to them, while his distracted secre-
taries tried to remind him Of impor-
tant business appointments.
Mr.. Ford told them:
"These boys are more important.
There is nothing serious the matter
with country when the young peo-
pie are interested In new ideas"
Do not fail to visit Chicago's won
derful Century of Progress" EXPOSE
ton this summer. See what has been
done in the past century of progress.
See your country, coming and going,
and ask yourself what the next CEN
fury of progress will accomplish, when
this little depression stomach ache
shall have been forgotten.
