MOVING AT FAST RATE
Aviatrix Averages 1865 Mile
Clip During First 8 IL
Hours.

By United Press
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. II.
Hurting eastward at an
average speed of 165 miles an
hour, Amelia Earhart Put
nam, first woman to fly the
Atlantic, sped through the
last half of her solo flight
across the Pacific today with
chances of success heavily in
her favor.
AS she passed the halfway point
on her Honolulu California
flight, a tailwind arose to increase
the speed of her highwing mono
plane.
A storm which had threatened to
develop along the California coast
held off, and weather bureau fore
casts indicated that the skies will be
clear and fair today. Miss Ear
hart's destination is believed to be
the Oakland airport on San Fran
cisco Bay.
She was sighted at SAB a. m. Qn-
dianapolis time) by the U. S. Navy
tanker Rampopo 1000 miles from
the California coast. At that time
she had come 400 miles from Homo
lulu in a little more than eight and
one-half hours.
At her present speed, Miss Ear
hart should sight the California
coast before noon, three hours
ahead of the schedule she mapped
out before kissing her publisher
husband, George Palmer Putnam,
an afectionate good-by and hopping
off from Wheeler Field, Honolulu,
at 9:13 p. m. last night.
Reports Every Half-Hour
Every half-hour through the
flight her calm, fiat voice told of
he progress Of her adventurous
flight, the first ever attempted by
a woman and the first by any fier
alone. Each bulletin recorded brief
ly her altitude-ranging from 1000
to $4,000 feet and noted that she
was flying through scattered clouds,
or above a thick blanket of clouds,
through clear skies.
When she flashed over the
Ramopo, directly On the great circle
route between the Hawaiian Islands
and California, she was flying above
a fog, the tanker reported to Navy
Radio here.
Miss Earhart gave nc indications
of her position. Evidently she was
too busy with flying, navigation and
b~roadcasting problems to observe
how close to her destination she
was. Radio stations listening for
her voice noted that the clock on
her plane apparently was two
minutes slow. Aside from that every
thing was going ahead at clock
work precision.
CIesr Weather Reported
At 7:30 a. M, the United States
Weather Bureau in San Francisco
broadcast a report indicating that
weather prevailed along the
coast and that visibility was
excellent"
Four United States cost guard
cutters dashed westward to spread
themselves along the path she will
follow in the last lap of her flight.
The cutters were the Shawnee, the
Ariadne and Daphne. They
put to sea at midnight. The S. S.

DAILY sHORT STORY -
 BIG GAME
The Gol6ng Whims of Captain of Finance Put
 Terry's Career in Jeopardy.

"What did you say your card averagedP" asked Mir. Ferguson sar- castically.
 Terry's heart sank. According to his theory, winning the first hole was Q bad omen. By the time they reached number seven, however. the game was all even, and Terry was breathing @ little easier.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-10-19

Even competitive clubs admit that Westmoors eighteenth hole has the sportiest green of any in the middle west. It is as undulated as if miniature glacier had swept over 1t.
 Both MT. Bierbohm and Terry were on in 3, but MT. Bierbohm's ball was only four feet from the pin. Think you can sink forty- foot putt to tie me, young man?" smiled MT. Bierbohm with the gleam of victory in his eye.
 "Ill do my damndest." lied Terry.
 He crouched on one knee and made believe he was studying the roll very carefully. Then he stood over the ball, took one look at the cup and bent low over his butter | so that no one could see his eyes. Up over the first knoll 1t went. then took crazy half-moon curve and trickled in the direction of the cup. For 8 brief moment 1t hesi- tated at the lip and just when Terry was about to open his eyes he heard ! a DlOD dIlu d WHO'LL cAAA OAAS He~A@ ~AsS~s dropped in the rain-filled cup.
 Two days later Terry lay on his bed wishing he had job to go to.
 His landlady knocked at the door,
 Telephone" she snapped, ai1- moved at having to stop her vacuum cleaning.
 Terry reached for his old red bathrobe and reluctantly went to the phone.
 A prim voice said, "This is Miss Maitland. I'm calling for MT. Pax ton. He wants you here at 3 o'clock"

 DO we have to make this as hard as possible, MT. Paxton? Walk ing papers are walking papers, re gardless of the spelling"
 Walking papers!" queried MT. Paxton, reaching for letter on his desk. Here. Read this."

 AMBROSE B. BIERBOHM."
 Again the deacon in the Hyacinth room was proferring the wine list to the girl in the blue felt hat.
 But why did you tell me not to 1 win?" the young man across the table asked softly.
 Miss Macy's blue eyes were lurn- inous.
 Because, Terry" she blushed abashed at using his first name, MT. Bierbohm never buys from salesmen he can win from. He ] mistrusts them - thinks they are 1 playing a customers game.

Young Terry Williams felt sea- sick. Every word J. B. was say- ing was true.
 ''It is my understanding" J. Bar clay Paxton droned on, "that Vest hoter-Manning will let their con- tract for another six months supply within two weeks. We have reached the decision that if you are not able to close with them, we will have to let you go."
 On the edge of his bed in a second-rate hotel, Terry sat and called the Westhofer Manning Com- pany.
 Good afternoon, westnofer-Ma ming Company"
 Terry cleared his throat. "I'd like to uh speak to MT. Bier bohm's uh secretary"
 After a long wait broken by switchboard noises, low feminine voice finally said, MT. Bierbohm's office."

 "See me?"
 "Yes. Please have dinner with me. If you only knew how import ant 1t is ="
 Before the Hyacinth room of the Evans House Terry paced up and down anxiously. When he had about given her up. Miss Macy final ly appeared. She looked extremely attractive in a soft blue felt that did something to the blue in her puzzled eyes.
 Terry began his explanations as the head waiter, 8 white-ha1red deacon in a black suit. presented the wine list.
 Miss Macy was a good listener. Really, I've worked hard," Terry told her like 8 small boy talking fast to avoid 8 spanking, but I can't get to first base. Our company can give you just as gfood service as Bentley; our product is really bet ter; and so far as I have been able to determine, our prices are Tn line"
 But what has all this to do with me?" asked Miss Macy.
 Just this. I'm hoping you'll put my finger on that something which will make MT. Bierbohm swing over. You see," he said appealingly, III I don't get this contract, ] lose my job. My very first job" he added in a disconsolate tone. "And," he went on, T have a theory that business is like golf. Ii you win the first hole, you nearly ,, always take the match. But If you , lose
 "Golf!" exclaimed Miss Macy, "you play then?"
 Terry blushed to the roots of his , red hair. "Not very well. You see, I'm in the third flight at home" Her face clouded for 8 brief mo- , ment and then broke out into a smile that was like poetry. "Per- fect!" she said, MT. Bierbohm never buys from anyone who can beat him. He's playing at Westmool | on Saturday and I think MT. Fer guson can get you into his four some."
 Saturday; the round was just be- ginning.
 Terry surveyed the first hole
 With Miss Macy's warning ring ing in his ears, he looked at the pir ! oJy,,oct jodifferentlv and took ar easy swing at the ball. To his amazement, it cracked clean and ! hard at the impact and whirred through the air, clearing the ditch by a good twenty-five yards. He could feel his ears redden as the bibulous members of the gallery ap- plauded noisily.

Martha was surprised to see
Andy standing on the corner;
and 1t was raining, too. When she
came up to him he looked alto
gether detected, though he tried to
look as though he were happy.
Tried to look happy for her.
What's the matter" Martha
asked, because she knew It wasn't
natural. Andy hadn't waited for
her at that place for over a year.
And when she CHANGED to meet
him, because she purposely walked
by his house, he didn't look happy
or try to seem so. In fact, his see
ing here appeared to make him
rather unhappy for some reason or
other.
"Whatzzat?" Andy asked as he
valiantly tried to smile.
"Oh, I just thought something
was the matter and"
mo, nothin' is the matter. why
should there be, huh?" Andy said
and he did smile-a sort of worn
smile. II just thought I'd walk
you home. I just thought l would
II you don't mind"
II don't mind" Martha said, and
she knew Andy was not telling the
truth. She knew something was
bothering him.
Even bothered, even needing a
shave and with his suit needing
a press-even yet he was handsome
and heartbreaking. Martha could
not help, despite all her trying,
that flutter of bewildering excite
ment from coming upon her.
A long time before, two and q
half years ago or maybe three,
Martha had met Andy at dance
and that night Andy had kissed
her.
1t had been two and a half years
ago, or maybe three, but Martha
had never forgotten that kiss. 1t
had been part Of her life ever
since. He had only given her one
present, q bit of Dresden. a figure
OF a boy with a blue coat and red
trousers. 1t stood on her dressing
table like a kind of unfading
flower.

learned that he hung out in a pool
room. She didn't think he could
possibly be that kind of fellow, but
she had gone four blocks farther
on her way home from work one
night and she saw him In there.
Martha couldn't help It.; she
waited in doorway until he came
out. She tried to walk up to him
nonchalantly but she knew she
was blushing, and she knew her
lips were trembling.
Listen, sister," Andy had said
through his teeth while a cigarette
hung from his lips, you're just
making a sap out of yourself. For

She had said a few miserable
words. Andy had ever to politely
tipped his hat, and then had walked
away. She was left standing there

up a story for being so late to hei

so long ago.

WORK-RELIEF THIS MONTH

Work-relief has finally got all its feet
on the ground and is slowly getting
under way. Latest announcements are
to the effect that substantial number
of projects employing hundreds of thou
sands of men will be actually begun
before the end of this month. So large
is the program, however, that it is not
expected to reach top speed until about
the middle of November WheO that
point is reached the direct dole will have
reached its last. and insofor as can BIS
determined, every employable person
now on relief will be put TO work. At
the present time only few projects are
actually under way and the number of
relief recipients employed are still num-
hered 10 the hundreds. Works Progress
Administrator Hopkins. however, says
that 100, 900 of his low-cost. small pro.
jecrs are ready to go and the President
is demanding speed.
While charges Of boon dogglirg and
claims that the program is simply an
enlarged CWA are still coming in, such
criticisms are becoming weaker and
weaker as the path of the program De-
comes more clearly defined. President
Roosevelt gave a lengthy answer TO

and community buildings, etc.
AT The same time the President an.
Aounced new ruling which defines the
authority of Harry L. Hopkins and Secre
