AMY JOHNSON WILL
QUIT FLYING GAME
No More Anyways to Con-
quer, Declares Aviatrix.

London, England.-Amy Johnson.
heroine Of the first solo flight by a
woman from England TO Austria
liza. has decided to give up flying.
Knowing that Empire air liners
and the royal air force r better
able to make record dashes TO South
Africa and Australia, and seeing
the Russians flying over the pole,
she believes there is nowhere in the
world to fly to and set up new
records except with the backing of
government finances.
Fly" she said. ut is the last
thing | would dream Of doing now.
If l saw any prospects Of doing any
thing by flying again I would go
ahead. No, I am Just going around
now wondering what on earth am
to do with life.
But ! am not going TO fly, l
don't know what I'm going to do. In
the old days it was my business to
be photographed and interviewed
with jim. my husband. For me all
that terrific publicity is now ended"
Has Earned Thousands.
Miss johnson has been a good
business woman. In ten years of
spectacular flying, with hall a dozen
great flights to her credit, she has
made many thousands Of dollars.
She has lived in fashionable hotels
and saved enough to buy a fine
house in London and expensive
cars.
Ever since that memorable day in
1926 when Amy Johnson first took
her young sister, Mollie, for a cir
Gus fight over Hull. England, she
knew she wanted TO fly. Five years
later, twenty-seven years old and a
ste%nographer in Fleet street, she
made a 9,900-mile hop from Croy-
don airport to Port Darwin. Austria
liza. No one dared hope that this
inexperienced aviatrix, with not
more than 80 hours in the air to her
credit. could perform such a feat.
A newspaper scoifed when Amy Of
fered to write a story Of her trip Git
she completed ID. Later that same
newspaper had to pay Amy. always
the business woman. $50, 900 to go on
q flying tour for 1t.
The next year-July. lo3l-Amy
set off for q London-to-Tokyo flight
with her tutor. c. S. Humphreys.
They made this run In the record
time Of 1oii days.

In 1896 Miss Johnson succeeded In
smashing three records-from Eng,

BLACKSBURG, Va, July %
GNS0.-The Tennessee Valley
Authority is aiding and encourag-
ing farmers Of the southeastern
States in establishing new indus

new ways of using more Of their
products, all as a means Of in
creasing their income and at the

David E. Lilienthal, director Of
the IVA, told the Institute Of

Commissioners TO Back
Trade Board Tax Plan

Impressed by the program for
increased taxation submitted by
the washington Board of Trade.
Commissioner Melvin c. HaZen
announced today that the city
fathers had agreed to press for a
business privilege tax in prefer.
ence to an income or a sales tax.
This marks a departure from
the original stand taken by the
Commissioners. In approving
recommendations made by the
special tax committee, the city
heads originally favored a sales
tax, secondarily an income tax,
and stated the business privilege
tax should be given further study
before enactment.
After hearing from the trade
boards delegation, Hazen said.
1.-THE Commissioners undOubt-
ably will urge the enactment Of
the business privilege tax rather
than an income tax If called
before the cOnferees Of the
House and Senate handling the
tax bills.
Gas q result Of the boards
action, we can now say to the
cOnferees that this organize
ton, composed of WashingtOn'S
business men, favor the business
privilege tax, whereas we have
had no outright expression from
the citizenry of Washington re-
garding the income tax"
The trade board estimated that
the business privilege tax at a
rate of three-tenths of per cent.
will yield $4,000, 900.

landed on June 20, 1850, at Della
Brooke, 20 miles from the mouth
Of the Patuxent, in what Is now

due to this importation that the

Midern fox hunting in Virginia

In 1905, near Upperville, Harry

out, for their hunting qualities and
voice, little heed being given to
color or shape. In different parts
Of the country, such hounds vary
materially in characteristics, and
as their ancestry is mixed, they
are difficult to breed true to type.
However, they can hunt their
game day or night, winter or sum-
mer. as they are adapted to the
hunting peculiarities Of this CONT
nent in a way that no other
hounds are.
