Miss Earhart said that her decision
to retire from the stunt flying arena
was prompted by a number OF reasons.
Among them was the repeated urging
OF her husband, George Palmer Put

she had done her fair share in this

Miss Earharts first spectacular

the Atlantic from Newfoundland to
Ireland with the late Wilmer Stultz
and Lou Gordon in the tri-motored
Fokker seaplane Friendship and be-
came the first woman to span the
ocean by air. Four years later she

early part Of 1885 she few a similar

mile expanse Of water and the first
pilot to make the trip alone.
She later made 4 solo non stop

PAY GAINS OFFSET

pay has increased 1852 since 1898,
but that increased living costs have
offset all but SIT Of that amount.
This is all the progress made in
three years Of rising business. and
q period Of rising business Is the most
favorable Of all for raising workers
real income" the federation added.
The average workers income, 1t said,
was 81 ,082 in 1888, and 81, pa In 1896.
Many of the price increases which
raised workers living costs were due
to strong industrial combinations
which raised prices much more than
was necessary to Offset wage increases"

Boston's Summer concerts In SYM
phony Hall were unusual when thew
were begun in the 80s. They are now
part OF great Summer music move
ment which takes music TO millions
OF Americans in the hot months.
But the Boston Pops are still UNIQUE,
They are the only Summer concerts
which have been part OF a scheme
TO provide year-round employment for
symphony men from the beginning.
Henry L. Higginson's original plan
for the Boston Symphony, made in
1881, contemplated employment on
year-round basis.
Dine, Sip and Listen.
They are the only Summer concerts
Of similar scope which make food and
drink an essential and unashamed
part Of the program. People eat and
sip wine and beer in redecorated
Symphony Hall, which this Summer
was cool in green, gray and a little
gilt. The whole lower floor. sacred TO

the Summer.
The funny thing is that the dow
ayers, such as are in town, come TO
sit at the tables just the same. The
tables are no gesture, as at New
Yorks Stadium.
The Pops are unique as we'll, in that

Winter affairs of the orchestra with
neatneSs and dispatch, is through tbs
Summer common victualer," as
the holders of food and drink licenses
are called in this Commonwealth.
Common Victualer Judd explains
that he prefers to have the license
IN his own name because he can con-
troll what Is served at the Pops and
the manner in which it is served.
Music Comes First
otherwise our concessionaire would
be hot after the dimes, and his watt
resses would be stumbling through
the music, making a racket" saws
Mr.. Judd IF the music deserves
quiet, We simply stop serving. no
matter how thirsty the patron
may be-"
Common Victualer Judd cans see
why other towns with orchestras don't
do as Boston does. Conductor Arthur
Fielder, rather genius at assembling
light (but not too light programs,
can't see why they don't either.
The majority Of the orchestra,
counting the out-of-door concerts, the
Pops, the regular season and the
Berkshire Symphonic Festival in
August, will this year have PLAYED
something like 2l1 concerts in IL
months. This is three months longer
season than the New York Phil.

Nearly every night there is a sponsor
for the Pops-ranging from Boston
