FOUR NATIONS
IN0CEANA
LINE RACE

This summer will see the last I'm
developed airways Of the world
the North Atlantic routes, divided
between England, United States
France and Germany, says vii
liam Clemmens, in August Cosmo
politan. He states:
"These are the four nations
competing in the race to eStab-
liSh commercial air routes be-
tween Europe and North
America, and whoever can dOmi-
nate North transatlantic flying
will be preeminent in the COM
mercial aviation Of the entire
earth.
For two years the United
States has had the equipment,
the skill and the experience to
establish air transport between
Europe and North America. For
the same period, France and
Germany have been flying the
South Atlantic. But Great
Britain has not been ready, and
without her consent, nobody can
move in the North Atlantic.
Now at last she is ready to treat
with her competitors.
$50 far as aviation is con.
cerned today, the North Atlantic
is q British pond. England holds
the air advantages because she
controls the terminals. With
flying equipment what it is now,
there are only two feasible
routes that will pay dividends to
stockholders, available to the
transatlantic flier. One is by
way of Newfoundland and Ire
land, the other via Bermuda
and the Azores, and England
controls both these routes"
AIR is NOT FREE
Contrary to the general belief,
the air is not free. Clemmens con-
tinueS:
"The gentlemen who divided
the loot at Versailles saw to that.
The World War had advanced
aviation as much as 20 years of
peace could have done. It was
evident that the planes which
had crossed international Dor
ders to drop bombs could also fly
across with samples and sales
men.
Therefore, the treaty makers
voted into international law the
principle that control of the land
carried with it the control of the
air above that land, and that no
aircraft could fly over foreign
territory without permission Of
the foreign government"

JAILED WHEN HARD-LUCK
STORY WAS PROVED FAKE

DANVILLE, Va, March 22.-Syl-
van Strauss propensity for fainting
and presenting generally detected
appearance landed him in the city
lookup.
He claimed to be a medical stu
dent from a college in Atlanta and
last Saturday went into a depart
ment store where he tainted in the
presence Of busy shoppers and sales
girls.
Revived there was immediate
compassion for him. He said he was
weak from hunger and told tragic
story of rough deal by life. A SUBJ
stantial sum was quickly raised for
him and he found boarding house.
Police, however, checked his rec
ord and found that Strauss had
tainted at Baltimore, Staunton,
Lynchburg and Roanoke and at sew
eral points in Kentucky In some of
these places public pity brought him
a cash recompense.

Wind Wrecks Home
and Couples Dream

A story of years of saving for q
new house by an aged Buncombe
county farm couple, the realization
of their dream in a five-room
structure and then its destruction by
wind storm few hours after they
moved in come to light in Asheville
last week, when John T. Smith re-
ported his predicament to the coun-
ty welfare department.
Smith, 6O-year-old farmer, said he
and his wife, who is Sc, had just
moved their furniture into their new
house for which they had worked
and saved for years when a storm
struck yesterday.
The house was demolished, dishes
broken, their beds torn apart and
crushed, the cook stove virtually
ruined and other furniture damaged.
Practically everything was ruin
ed except some canned goods" said
Smith.

II Year Old Heroine
May Get Gold Medal
Kentucky Girl Graves Fire and
Water to Save Life of ~
Year Old Woman

Residents of Coldiron, Kentucky, a
mountain hamlet are trying to OBJ
tain a gold medal for 12-year-old
Della c. Coldron, who braved fire
and water to save the life of Mrs.
Louisa Saylor, n.
Mrs. Saylor was trapped in her
home February at time when her
relatives and neighbors were away.
The child, working across the creek,
200 yards away, saw smoke curling
ovre the roof.
Realizing that the aged woman
was probably trapped inside, Della
treid to cross the creek on the ice
but fell through. She scrambled out
and rushed to the Saylor home.
The child broke down two doors,
extinguished Mrs. Saylor's flaming
clothes and hair and dragged her to
the Coldiron home where both col
lapsed.

Four Possible Moves Studied
by B. R. Hauptmann's Lawyers
Only Six Days Left for Action
i'm Case of Man Sentenced
to Die in Chair

With only six days left for action
Bruno Richard Hauptmann's law
yers are charting the course of their
new fight to save him from the cleo
trio chair
They have four possible moves
Failure means Hauptmann, convict
ed of the kidnap-slaying of the
Lindbergh baby must walk the last
mile on the night of March 81.
Move No. is to question DR.. John
F. (Jafsie) Condor Lindbergh ran
som Intermediary.
Then C. Lloyd Fisher, Haupt-
mann's chief counsel, is expected to
ask Supreme Court Justice Thomas
w. Trenchard, trial judge, for new
trial on the basis of reputed "evi-
dence" Fisher says has been turned
up since the Pennington trial.
The third move is to plead again
for mercy for Hauptmann in the
court of pardons, which rejected his
first appeal for clemency on Janu-
airy IL.
Move No. 4, in the event the 9TH
ers fail, will be to ask Gov. Harold
G. Hoffman to suggest to Attorney
General David T. Wilentz that he
and defense lawyers go before Tren-
chard and ask for a judicial stay of
execution.
Hauptmann has not yet been told
that his execution is set for the night
of March 81.

MRS. A. w. EDMONDSON

Matilda GRAPHICAL Edmondson was
born March 2 1873 and died March
II 1886 being sixty-three years and
ten days old. She was married to
Andrew w. Edmondson at twenty
one years of age and joined her re-
markable industry and efforts with
his in making for themselves and
their children a good home. Three Of
her six children preceded her in
death.
If this were all we could say about
our deceased sister, how sad our
hearts would be, but we are happy
to be able to tell more comforting
things. For a person possessing good
judgment and business qualities that
characterized Matilda, did not neg
lect the most important thing of any
human life-that of accepting Christ
as her Redeemer. The question was
earnestly asked by one who was not
acquainted with her life, did she
hold out?" and this reminds us that,
'By their fruits We shall know
them" A beautiful story is told of
how a poor widow-a neighbor OF
the deceased Twas ill and had to be
taken to the hospital. Clothes had
to be provided for the trip and Ma
tilda went to her own closet,
brought out of the best she had and
gave this to the one in need. Furth-
er care was exercised for the chill
dren in providing food while their
mother was away. "Pure religion
and unde6led is to visit the father
less and the widows in their attic
ton and to keep ones self unspotted
from the world" DANES 1-27. AS
we have opportunity therefore, let
us do good until all men, especially
unto them who are of the household
of faith''-this verse seems to have
been a moving force in her life, for
her constant helpfulness, and her
Christian hospitality in caring for
ministers and Christian people in
general, gave evidence of the close
kinship she felt for them through
our Father who art in heaven.
She has been a patient sufferer
during much of her life, and even
during this she would sing songs of
praise, promise, and hope. Once
when very ill and her. life was de-
SPARED of, when she was too sick
to sing herself, she asked friends to
sing There's a Land that is Fairer
than Day.. Even during her last ILL
ness she enjoyed seasons of prayer
with those who visited her. She was
faithful in church attendance when
she was able to be about and her up
turned, open, earnest face showed of
the life of her inner self and was
an inspiration to those about her.
The ravages of disease, and the
deadening effect of medicine left her
unconscious, and she left no death
bed testimony, but again we say that
"By their fruits We shall know
them" She has told her story by
her life, and we believe has entered
into the Land that is Fairer than
Day.
