You know when we have been daghing out this news of the sky ways we've had 1t in mind for the past two weeks to say a word about army pilots but 1t just seemed we ran out of space before we reached that portion of our notes. So this week we have de- cided to do 1t right here.

All this returned to mind not so long ago when ar airliner was lost in the mountain of New Yorkk state. while 1t Is true that the airline sent out its pilot tt hunt for the missing ship th' news wires also reported the worl of the army pilots who assisted.
 It was called suicide or murder when these same pilots who hat carried the mail went out in tn, night hours to fly over the tougl course out of Albany and when th' ship "i66" was finally found ! was an army ship that flew ant dropped the food and other essen tials to the group on the ground Guess thcr're two sides to ever. story and if you walt long enougl both sides show through.

Smedley of this city was introduced as leader of the class. Mr Piunkett is state chairman of the socialist party and was the choice of his organization for the senate clerhship last week. The three socialist senators voted with the republicans. however, to permit 6. O. D. organization of the upper branch of the legislature.
 Mir Plunkett said las Light that the trio voted with the republicans because they felt that their action will aid them in doing away with much ripper legislation that has proved irksome to the socialist city administration in Bridgeport.

six weeks sojourn in Europe.
They will be guests at the
oldest inhabited N ma n

France this season.
The castle will come first
when Mrs. Longworth goes
to stay with a childhood

Chestnut Hill, Mass, but now
the Countess Of Berkeley, liv-
ing at Berkeley Castle.

whirl for Paulina s cousin,

be filled chiefly with the
wedding. The Longworths,
who were in Cincinnati at the
