They wanted another bottle of wine; they didn't dare order it. The whole place seemed to lose glam- our, become 8 little tawdry., Oc. casionally MT Hampton looked over at them.
 Then it happened. A drunk lurched against their table. An un- pleasant drunk, big, menacing, blu. ish around the jaws. His hand, un- steadily reaching for support, touched Polly's arm. Les was on his feet in a second. Move on, buddy" Les looked very big indeed, when standing at his full height. The drunk moved on. On to the next table, the one on their right, oc- cupied by the distinguished little man with the wife and daughter. Polly and Les heard: How about a dance, baby?"
 The inebriate now had his hand on the arm of the pretty daughter. The distinguished little man had risen to his full five feet five. He was remonstrating-it did no good. There seemed to be no head wait CTS for miles around. Les got up again.
 I'm going to move that bird over"
 Polly grabbed his arm. "PIease, dear. There may be trouble. MT Lampton-."
 Les hesitated. The drunk gave the little man a push back into a chair. A gold pince-nez fell into dish of ice cream. This was too much. Les took a step, laid hand on the drunk's arm, spoke with all the restraint he could muster:
 "I told you to move on. You're annoying people"
 Smack! Les felt the impact of something hard on his jaw. He hit out with all the power of 200 pounds. Hit something soft and yielding. It should have been a knockout; 1t wasn't. A blow came back. Les hit again.
 Chaos! Chairs falling over, women screaming, walters rushing in. Through a nightmarish maze of faces Les felt himself propelled irresistibly. Cold air struck his face. He was outside. Gesticulat- ing figures surrounded him. Among them Les recognized the distingu- ished little man, who seemed to be urging him to do something. He couldn't hear. Polly appeared. She had his coat and hat. They ran in the direction of their car.
 An hour later, Polly said for the twentieth time: "But you can get another job, dear"
 The next morning a bruised and dejected Les answered the inevi- table summons. MT Hampton was signing some papers. He looked up, his face stern, forbidding. As he saw Les, the vice-president's fea- lures relaxed into what was almost a smile:
 Brooks. about last night"
 "Yes, sir"
 "I saw 1t all. You behaved your. self admirably, my boy. No gen- tleman could have done less. For. tunately for us, the small man you tried to help was Spencer D.t Haw- kins, president of the Plains City Trust company. They keep half million with us. I talked with him after the row. He tried to get you to return. He'll be in this morn ing to thank you personally. Now about that vacancy among the as- sistant cashiers@"

Fifty cents more to go!" Lester Brooks patted his wife's cheek af- fectionately with the clinking dime bank.
 "Itll be so thrilling" Polly said. Think of us at the Parisian Frolics. I'll wear my wedding dress. Take the sleeves out. Lean hardly wait!"
 Polly and Les Brooks had been married a year. They had known each other several years. Ever since the day when Polly in her monthly statement cage at the Western Trust company saw the new man in the coupon collection cage. A big darkish boy, over six feet, with football shoulders. Polly was little and red-headed. Through the grill they gossiped, quarreled, laughed and-finally, loved.
 Polly left the bank when they were married. They were happy in their two-room apartment in Rog- CTS Park. They still gossiped, only occasionally quarreled, laughed a lot, adored each other-and saved their dimes for one big evening. This time at the currently popular Parisian Frolics.
 
 The big night came. Polly in her remodeled wedding dress look ed prettier than a debutante at her coming-out party. Les old tux edo was smartly pressed. They were rather stylish for their loose- ly-held-together car. But they didn't care.
 Their table, reserved long before the bank ceased to clink, was at foorside.
 At the next table on the left sat a distinguished little man with a gold pince-nez, a large woman with pearls, and pretty girl. Perhaps their daughter. Polly noted the ermine wraps but happily conclud- ed that she looked just as well. Les thought so too. The table on their right was vacant.
 The cocktail was exciting; the dinner melted in their mouths; the inexpensive bottle of Rhine wine tasted like ambrosia. The floor show came on. Girls whirled by. Bright-eyed girls but not so bright-eyed as Polly. A suave so- ciety dance team glided. the man darkly handsome-but not so hand some as Les. The dinner show end ed with a flourish and the orches- tra leader invited them to dance. Polly and Les danced. The society dance team had nothing on them. It was crowded, but they didn't need much room. Too soon the orchestra stopped. Back to their dinner: the table on their right was now occupied.
 "Ye gods!"
 Polly saw consternation on Les face.

 Following his gaze, she needed no answer. There on their right sat Enoch H. Hampton. vice-prssi- dent of the Western Trust con@ pany. And a party of six. Nr Hampton was lowing, Sonaewhe1 frigidly.

T FIND since I've been writing
l. about aviation that a great many
people are unwilling to believe that
flying an airplane is so simple. g..
Parents have written me, asking, IF
flying is so easy, why haven't more
people taken it up?"" And I might
answer, Because you all persist in
thinking otherwise"
My mother had these same ideas,
Until I demonstrated a diff
ferent thought.
I had established three worlds
speed records in two days-that was
in 1923-and the home town people
were staging a welcome for me. I
knew mother had heard thrilling
stories about my flying, most Of
them exaggerated. AS I flew along
toward home I was thinking: IF
I simply spiral down and land
smoothly I know she will have
doubts about flying she may
think my plane is very deadly in
strument which has to be handled
with unusual care"
Sol From there on I went into
action and Topped and barrel-rolled
and twisted and squirmed and spun
my ship until I ran out of altitude,
and then, with a grand vertical
slid-slip, landed and rolled up in
front of the crowd.

days ago BY an Alabama District
Court. There, too. the court ruled
that constitutionality of the tax was
gravely doubtful.
Immediately following the de-
cision yesterday, the Well Packing
Co., Evansville, filed a bill Of COM
plant based upon the same conten-
tons as those which won a tentative
victory for protesting firms. This
action indicated to many that more
restraining petitions could be ex-
pected.
Under the ruling given here, the
taxes due, an approximate S3,000,-

will be held under Amusement until

With MAY. AL WILLIAMS
Chief Of Air Service.
Scrirps-Hovard Junior Aviator.

I ran over to mother and, after
the greeting, she held me of and
said: When your motor first
stopped I thought you were going
to crash. I never would have be-
lieved an airplane could have been
controlled so completely, without the
help of the engine, unless I had
seen you fly"
And those words of hers told me
more completely and forcefully than
any others just how aviation must
be demonstrated and sold to the
average non-flyer and I've
been using that same method ever
since.
QUESTION-What Is the service
ceiling of the average commercial
plane?
I should say around 1850 feet.

MORGAN LISTS
HEALTH RULES
FOR HEAT WAVE
Health Board Secretary
Finally Gets Chance
to Give Advice.

Even fellow Office workers noticed
that DR.. Herman C. Morgan, secre'
tary of the Board Of Health. was II
high spirits today.
AS the temperature climbed, the
broad grin on his face indicated
that he was a man redeemed-a
man free of a great worry.
True 70 the traditions of his Office
DR.. Morgan drew up a list of hot
weather rules the last week of May
In former years he called in the City
Hall reporters early in June anc
told them to broadcast the word tt
a perspiring public.
This was not original with DR.
Morgan, since members Of boards O
health gave such stories to report.
ers when Richard Harding Davis
was in knee pants.
Fewer Deaths Recorded
This year the weather man dou-
ble-crossed DR.. Morgan. All dur
ing June he held on to his list, and
finally just as all hope seemed lost
July and the heat wave arrived.
AS reporters entered his Office
today, DR.. Morgan doomed: Hot
weather isn't to be dreaded. People
are healthier during hot weather
than at any other season. Our
records show fewer deaths and less
sickness during the torrid summer
months than at any other season
of the year.
The mind has a lot to do with
it," he added. quite number
of people worry themselves into
cases of heat prostration. If you
don't look at the thermometer You
will be a lot more comfortable"
Protect Head From Sun"
DR.. Morgan declared that most
victims of heat prostration are peo-
pie in poor physical condition.
IF your heart muscle is doing
it's work, and if you eat proper
food in moderation, soaring temper
atures should not effect you," he
said.
Never go out into the sun with
out some head protection" he said.
Continued exposure to the ele-
ments, in many cases, has proven
itself detrimental to the hair. 1t
can't do your brain any good to
get half cooked in the SUM-"
Then with a proud flourish DR..
Morgan handed his rules to the
press.
Don't Drink Ice Water"
Drink cool, not ice cold, water
You will find it more refreshing
than alcoholic drinks.
Don't eat too much uncooked
food. At least one article of warm
food should be taken with each
meal.
Take from one to three warm
baths daily.
Clothing light in color and tex
ture at least looks more comfort
able.
Get a lot of rest and sleep during
heat waves.
The last rule worried him some.
DR.. Morgan admitted that he didn't
know how it could be done, but said,
theoretically it was correct.
