Two men of different ways Of life

Shortly before he received me had
talked over the phone with his father
in-law to inform him about the note
Count de Chambrun, the French Am

corning three-power neutrality plan
in regard to Spain. The French note
was important and contained all the
ingredients of a first-class interna-
tional conflagration. That did not
give him headache. He Just told
papa about it, and, since he took 1t
lightly, too, there was no reason why
Ciano should worry himself to death.

Ciano never refers to Mussolini as

Italian high officials. He Just says
"Mussolini" and once, just once, he
said "Mussi"-it was once more the

Crack ailPilot Flew Ship to Chile to Be
Used in ELLSWORTH Search-WeU
KnOlCn as Pet Collector.

With 10000 ping pong balls in the
wings and tail of the airplane as ener-
gency flotation cells, Henry T. (Dick)
Merrill, who has been flying airmail
along the Atlantic Coast on the route
through Washington ever since the
present service was inaugurated, now
is completing preparations to make
record round-trip flight between New
York and London with Harry Rich
man. singer and amateur aviator.
Merrill. one of the country's fore
most transport pilots. has been flying
for l6 years without accident. He was
chosen to fly the high-speed plane
used in connection with the search for
Lincoln Ellsworth after the famous ex-
plorer had been out Of radio contact
with his base in Antarctica for a
month last Winter. Merrill flew the
ship 5000 miles to Magellanes, Chile,
where it was put aboard the Wyatt
carp, Ellsworth's supply ship.
Although Merrill for years has made
his home in Richmond. Va. and has
spent most of his airmail service on
the run from that city to the South. he
has been a frequent visitor to Washing
ton and is well known here.
Keeps . Menagerie.
Merrill is noted among aviation
people as a menagerie keeper. He has
owned more and stranger pets than
any other pilot. A flying squirrel was
his companion in the old days of the
open-cockpit airmail planes. For a
time he had a lion cub, which was
chained in the hangar at Richmond
until it became too large for safety.
Merrill used to put on a leather jacket
and wrestle with the lion until it was
nearly full grown. Admirers along his
route learned of his fondness for pets
and sent him beasts Of every descrip-
ton.
On one occasion Merrill few up to
Washington to act as a judge in a pet
show at the Northeast Boys Club and
got just as much kick out Of the ex-
perience as the boys.

particular qualities for leadership; he
has not had the opportunity. Until
he married MusSolini's daughter he
was secretary of embassy. Since he
married Edda Mussolini he has been
ttalys consul general at Shanghai in
the troubled days of 1882 and has dis
charged his job honorably; nobody
has any occasion to show brilliancy in
that nasty affair when the japanese
tried to occupy China's most impor-
tant port.
Later he became minister of propa-
ganda, another thankless job.
When the Ethiopian War broke out
Ciano joined his Fascist troup and
went over as an aviator. He covered
himself with glory by relentlessly
bombarding the Ethiopians. His plane,
1t was said in official communicates,
had been hit several times, but he
always returned safely to the base.
Shortly after the Ethiopian affair was
over he returned to Italy and papa
made him his foreign secretary.
Ciano is not impressive. He has no
determined jaw nor a fierce express
sion. Neither does he like to assume
. sphinx-like appearance like his RI
val, Anthony Eden. Had I met him
In q Pullman or on board ship
crossing the Atlantic, I would have
thought him q nice, somewhat over
talkative kid travelling for q packing
house or some shoe factory. For. de-
spite his 80 Summers, he does not
look them. Neither does he assume
the fatigued and morose air young
men have when they get, unexpect-
edly, high up in the diplomatic
world. When I entered his room in
the Palazzo Chigi. thought at first
he was his own private secretary.
Ciano has an engaging personality.
His English Is excellent-duent and
sprinkled with American slang. He
apologized for talking q little too
much the Kings English" But my
wife, she talks real American. When
we got married she spoke but little
English, then we went to Shanghai,
where she learned quickly your Ian
guage from the American Marine off,
GERS and Consuls' wives. A few weeks
ago she shocked, beyond description
. high British dignitary in Rome
when she said that the tea was oaky-

laugh. There Is nothing diplomatic
about that. He Is too young and
things have been coming his way too
