Then suddenly the policemen
went away. Armando backed our
car into small enclosure. Then
he too went away without a MUIR
muir of explanation. And disap-
peared into the caverns of the Gus
tom house.
For quite half an hour we waited,
doing nothing, until Armando APP
peared with Emilio. They paid no
attention to us but started for the
remote end of the custom house
far down the street.
For another half hour we sat
wondering if Armando had been
locked up, if he had killed a man
or three men or robbed a bank or
what in Heavens name had hap
pened.
Then Emilio and Amman d o
emerged smiling. "It is all right
now" said Emilio. "He crossed the
custom-house line without a per
NIT. They were for putting him in
Jail. Here you have to obey the
traffic. I thank you and I shall
see you soon."

pale green woodwork, there was
peace and GOODNESS.

BUILDER
TALKS BEFORE
FLY|NGCLUB

Aviation's greatest need today
is an altimeter that will register
the actual height of a plane IN
flight, whether over mountains or
valleys, Grover Looming, World
War flier and at present an air
craft designer and builder, told
$50 delegates attending the Ma
tional intercollegiate Flying Club
Conference here last night.
Bringing the session to q close
last night with a dinner at the
Shoreham Hotel, the student pilots
were told of the dangers Of flying
in mountainous areas. Looming
said:
"When you're flying through
fog in the mountains 1t Is no
comfort to learn that you are
5000 feet above sea level when
at any moment you may hit .
mountain 6,1OO feet above sea
level"
The biggest dividends to be de-
rived by today's students of avia-
ton, Looming concluded, can be
gained through research and tech
nical work.
The Looming Trophy for the out
standing activities of a collegiate
flying club went to Harvard Uni
versity, with the presentation be-
ing made by Mr.. Looming to
Clarence D. Martin, jr., son Of
the governor of Washington State
and the newly selected president
of the National intercollegiate Fly
ing Club.

1HtofuhtlOhHA MOVIE SSfVICO
Comptroller of the Currency j.
F. T. O'Connor is seriously con-
sidering" entering the California
gubernatorial race in 1888.
Today persons close to the
comptroller indicated he soon
would discuss with Postmaster
General Farley the entreaties Of
several State Democratic factions
that he become a candidate.
Returning from two-week visit
to the West Coast, O'Connor, how
ever, declined to comment. His
appointment as comptroller eX-
pires in 1888.
Conferred With Leaders
On his Western visit, O'Connor
conferred with a number of party
leaders relative to the California
political situation. To them, it was
learned, he outlined his desire of
aiding in the Democratic Party's
44-year fight for the California
governorship. There has been no
Democratic governor in that State
since 1894.
During these conversations, the
Comptroller also refrained from
stating definitely that he would
seek the nomination. Instead, he
emphasized to these leaders that
because of his experience with
various New Deal banking agen-
cies, President Roosevelt might
request OConnor's help in the
proposed Federal reorganization
program.
The Comptroller agreed that
many problems confront Califor-
mia party chieftainS in the forth
coming struggle.
O'Connor'S supporters reported
that a preliminary sampling of
sentiment indicated a promise of
widespread support for his candi-
dacy throughout the State.
Friendly With Film People
The Comptroller is very friendly
with the motion picture industry.
Political observers credit Holly
wood with exerting considerable
influence in favor of Gov. Frank
F. Merriam during the latter'S
campaign against Upton Sinclair,
EPIC candidate.
O'Connor's nomination would
present a situation unique in polit-
ical annals. In 1920, he ran for
governor in North Dakota on the
Democratic ticket headed by
James M. Cox and Franklin D.
Roosevelt. Although he was de-
feated by Senator Lynn j. Frazier,
O'Connor ran far ahead of the
national ticket.
After his North Dakota political
career, O'Connor went to Los An
geles and became the law partner
Of Senator William G. McAdoo.
In 1880 he established his own
law practice in that city.
