would serve as airmail planes only.
The crew would include first and sec
ond pilots, ships clerk, radio operator
and steward.
The first two ships of this, the &C"
type, have been in trial service on the
Mediterranean for several months.
One Of them made the run from
Southampton to Alexandria, 1000
miles, in 13 hours IS minutes. The
Cavalier is the third; the Calendonia
the fourth. Twenty-eight ships of
this type have been ordered, and they
will cost $10,O000Oo.
On the United States side, a new
Pan-American clipper has joined the
three Martin clippers on the Pacific.
This is the Sikorsky ABB, a larger
sister Of the 10 big Sikorsky clippers
which Pan-American now has in
service on the West Indies run and
across the Caribbean to Panama.
The new Sikorsky, one of those held
to be suitable for ocean service, is
bigger, faster and somewhat improved
in performance over the earlier S42
type which blazed the Pacific trail,
and the S42A types. The gross weight
of the "B" is 42,0G0 pounds, as against
$4,000 for the original S42. The wing
span is l18 feet, feet greater than
the original. The top speed is 2Ol
miles per hour and the cruising speed
l64 miles per hour, as against 1872
and 157, respectively, for the first of
the brood. She has bigger engines
and her passenger quarters are
roomier and more quiet.
The Sab is standing by as an aux
lliary now. Later on. she will be flown
across the Pacific to ply between the
Philippines and China.
HE Glenn L. Martin plant at Balti-
more now is being enlarged to
provide an assembly plant in which
giant clippers may be completed. The

THE contemplated route, although
1t has not been finally agreed upon"
said the Postmaster General, is to
fly two round trips week from New
York up to Newfoundland and across
the northern passage to Southampton,
England. That would be the course
of the route during the part of the
year when the weather was suitable,
and then during the cold part Of the
year the flight would 60 from New
York to Charleston, S. c., and then
to Bermuda, and then to the Azores,
and then to Southampton, England;
and if the weather was too bad, the
flight would originate in Charleston
instead of New York during that kind
of weather"
The northern route, from New York,
would be distance of 3,418 miles and
the southern route 1891 miles. From
Charleston the southern route would
be almost exactly 5000 miles
THE Post Office Department has
tentatively established a postage
rate of from 81 to Is cents for half
ounce letter This would include
through airmail service from any
point in the United States.
In presenting the appropriation bill
to the House, Representative Louis
Ludlow Of Indiana, the former local
newspaper correspondent, who was In
charge of conducting the hearings, ex-
planned the transatlantic porposal in
some detail
In this BILL" he said, provision is
made for the first time for the estaib-
ishment of transatlantic airmail on
regular schedules. This is in sense
an epochal event and subject of in
triguing interest The time has come
in the evolution Of the factors of world
progress and the development of agen-
cies for human convenience when it
seems to be accepted as a foregone
conclusion that this service should be
established.

During the past year there have
been number of foreign missions in
Washington to discuss the trans
Atlantic air transport situation. The
German, British and French negotia-
tions were specially noteworthy. On
the part of this Government, a COM

from other Federal agencies, has con-
ferred with the foreign missions.
In discussing with members of the
House Appropriations Committee the
item for inaugurating transatlantic
airmail service. First Assistant Post
master General Howes expressed the
belief that such service would be
beneficial not only from the stand
point Of expediting the mail, but also
as means of cultivating good inter-
national relationships and stimulating
business

THE Magyars, a doughty tribe OF
Asiatics. had come west with
Attila the Hun, late in the ninth
century, and settled on the rocky
erninence that overlooks the Dam
ube at Budapest. In 1883. the
Turks began their invasion Of Eu-
rope, but for ITO years they were
kept off the soil Of the Magyars
in Hungary.
In 1921. however, the Turks
swept through Hungary toward
Vienna, and 1t was by the aid of
the great King John Sobieski Of
Poland. in 1888, that they finally
were repulsed. Three years later,
the foreigners were swept out Of
Budapest and gradually they were
pushed back toward Constants
nople. Budapest was left almost
In ruins. but the city was quickly
rebuilt, and became one Of the
most magnificent capitals In
Europe. +
In 1895. on the 250th anniver-
sary OF the recapture Of Budapest.
Hungary issued q series Of five
stamps, illustrating the city's free
dom from the Turks.

Brain Twizzlers
BY Prot. J. ID. Flint

You have probably seen some OF
TIE Industrial villages scattered
throughout the country which have
beer planned by large companies
for their employees. One of these
Insists OF sixty-four houses, all
sraced identically.
One night young man, who lived
in one OF the houses, decided TO call
upon young lady who lived In
another one OF the houses. He had
forgotten which one she lived In and
had no way Of finding out other
than calling at each one to in
quire. AS 1t happened hers was the
last one he called upon. Trace the
poor young mans trail from house
until he reaches hers after calling
at ali the others. This should be
doue so that he makes only four
teen turns, the fewest number pos
sible. The illustration shows their
petitions.

Can't Afford to Stand Pat.
THE whole days happenings
smacked of plots to strengthen
the Yankees rivals, which, of course
isn't against the law But while the
White Sox definitely seem to be i'm
proved, and the Red Sox. Tigers and
even the Browns are fumbling on
turns for the better, Washington's
entry still is almost as is. Linke for
Hogsett That deal won't get the
Grif1men out of sixth place.
Griff is entering into the spirit

ing D.. . A burst of dealing which
has put the National League in the
shade. We're not out of it yet" said
the Old Fox today. We'll probably
make deal with the White Sox and,
maybe, with the Indians"
We ought to do something" ad-
mitted Harris. There is only one
club in the league that can afford to
stand pat. That, of course, is the
Yankee team. But Washington and
Cleveland so far have let the rest of
the parade march by" 8.
Harris Works Up Huff.
IN THE wake of the Chicago-D Detroit
deal yesterday, Harris offered
kuhel to Chicago for Zeke Bonura.
When Harry Grabiner, vice president
and secretary of the Sox heard of it.
ne said, Nothing doing Well take
Myer and Kuhel for Bonura, but
not Kuhel alone"
The answer did not set we'll with
Harris "Oka1" he told reporters, tell
Grabiner to stand on his deal with the
Tigers. Well keep Kuhel, too"
This is the way they work at WIN
yer meetings. The chances are that
kuhel will wind up with the White
Sox in exchange for Bonura. With
the departure of Dixie Walker from
Chicago, Dykes now has only one left
handed hitter in his lineup Raw
Radcliff. The Sox's batting order is
even more right-handed heavy than
Washington's is left-handed Kuhel.
2 left-hander, would slip into the Sox
order in good order, as Bonura would
ut into the Nationals hitting array.

EARLY today rumor was out that
Kuhel might be traded to St. Louis
IN deal that would bring Outfielder
Beau Bell to Washington. This is in
teresting, even if it isn't true It is
bard to visualize the Browns parting
With Bell, but it may be worth re-
eording.

troit's offer of $4,000 to Cleveland for
putfelder Earl Averill This was
turned down by Oscar Witt, the new
Tribal chieftain. 1t indicates, how
fver, that Cochrane has something on
his mind. Mickey may be trying to

Dykes" Is Big Name Here.
NOW Dykes is picked to win his
most memorable triumph. He
sent away the ailing armed Dixie
Walker, at best a 800 hitter, and got
fast, strong-armed Gerald Walker, a
1886 hitter. He gave up fairly good
pitcher, but one he didn't need, and
got a fine third baseman. And he
traded a $3.50 infielder in Piet for a
catcher that any major league club
would grab in hurry.

He explained, when a player is

shoot a basket. more often than

he Is moving. AS result the ball
hits the blackboard like a bullet
and bounces back without coming
close to the basket.

M Dykes wins fresh praise as
V baseball trader with the first
Desperately seeking batting punch.
Boston ships Buck Newsom and Red
Kress back to st. Louis. along with
Buster Mills, in exchange for Joe
Vosinik. Milwaukee buzzes eXcitedly
as the minor league meeting goes into
its final day.
Caught in the middle so far are
Clark Griffith and Bucky Harris Of
the Nationals. To Washington went
the honor of making the first big
league deal when Ed Linke was
swapped to st. Louis for Elon Hogsett.
But bystanders only yawned and
American League rivals failed to be-
come impressed with this deal. In
stead, they overshadowed that soup
for-nuts swap with yesterdays meaty
trades.
As Harris and Griffith took up the
vigil today at the Shredder Hotel,
their chances of making deal seemed
more remote than ever. The hot
morning tip was that a trade with
Cleveland was practically completed.
In it the Nationals were to turn over
Second Baseman Buddy Myer to the
Indians in exchange for Infielder Roy
Hughes and another player. This
Harris denied
If we were close to making deal,
Id admit it," said Bucky. But the
fact is that we aren't. I had breakfast
with Oscar Witt and We talked trade.
But all he offered for Myer was
Hughes and we're not crazy Witt can

man Joe Kuhel were blasted yesterday
afternoon when the White Sox traded
Pitcher Vernon Kennedy, Infielder
Tony Piet and Outfielder Dixie Walker
to Detroit for Third Baseman Marvin
Owen, Outfielder Gerald Walker and
Catcher Mike fresh. 1t so happens
that Kennedy was the pitcher the
Nationals had hoped to land. Griff' S
prize deal was Kuhel and Myer for
Kennedy and Jackie Hayes.
Last night a second major deal was
announced after Boston and st. Louis
officials had huddled BY almost the
same majority that Dykes was given
the edge over Mickey Cochrane in the
Chicago-Detroit deal, Donald Barnes
was conceded to have gained the
better of it in the deal with Boston.
Still, Detroit has the much-needed
pitcher Cochrane has been cunning
for and if Rookie Mark Christrnan
from Beaumont makes good on third
base, the Tigers probably will be i'm
proved. The Red Sox have a fine
outfielder to team up with Roger
