NO TRACE FOUND
OF MISSING man

Forty-eight hours after discovery
of the abandoned car of Arthur
g. Brinkley, 47-year-old Washing
ton contractor, on a lonely road
near Clarendon, Va, Arlington
county police today admitted they
were without clues as to his where
abouts or the cause of his disap-
pearance.
Although Brinkley is known to
have cashed a $500 check at the
Arlington Trust Company in Ros-
lyn Wednesday morning, about an
hour before his machine was dis
covered on Kirkwood Road, con-
tanning his empty wallet and
broken spectacles, investigators
were inclined to discredit the rob-
ber-murder theory, which members
of his family insisted was the only
possible explanation.
Detectives Hugh Jones and Harry
L. woodward, in charge of the in
vestigation, pointed out that there
were no signs of a struggle in or
about the car and that a thorough
search of the neighboring vicinity
had failed to reveal additional
clues.

RUMOR SECUTED.
Friends Discount Talk;
Lone Eagle Silent

LONDON, Sept. II Q.N.S0.
Rumors that Col. Charles A. Lind
bergh plans to become a British
subject, renouncing his United
States citizenship, we're discounted
today by friends Of the famous
American flier and scientist.
1t was pointed out reports Of
this nature have found their way
into English newspapers on several
occasions in the past. Each time
friends of the airman have ex-
pressed doubt Of their authenti-
city.
FLIER SILENT
Should Colonel Lindbergh ever
take up British citizenship, he
would have to apply for naturali-
zation papers, and his intention to
do so would have to be published
in prominent British newspapers.
No such publication has yet ap-
peared.
Lindbergh himself remained
silent regarding the reports and
refused to answer kilograms query
ing him on the matter.
FRIENDS DOUBTFUL
But his friends in London as
serted the reports were "highly
improbable. They claimed Lind
bergh never has given them any
intimation of intention to re-
nounce his American citizenship.
One friend of the airman secuted
the reports as ridiculous"
NEW YORK, Sept. II Q.N.S).
Col. Henry Breckenridge, one of
Col. Charles A. Lindberg's closest
American associates, would not
confirm report today the famous
aviator would seek British natural
ization.
THE only person who can
discuss that is Colonel Lind
bergh himself" said Colonel
Breckenridge. "No one else that
I know of has a right to speak
for him"

A. M. Saturday

Along with picture program ''The
Land of Song and Dance" at Steven

1920 o'clock will be more than just
some singing and dancing.
AT this time you will hear two new
songs presented for the first time
from your local theatre stage. "You
Got To Sing, You Got To Dance" and
stepping Along With the Song" The
songs are original and have not as
yet been set to music or the words
presented for any music company to
approve or disapproyc.
Little Old Man Rhythm" an act
that is original in every respect will
prove that "The Land of Song and
Dance is something in the way of en-
tertainment that could go places if
it is kept the organization that it is.
If you do not enjoy the perfor-
nance of "The Singing Sweethearts'
then you had better go home after the
show and look in the mirrow for you
will not be in the mood to enjoy any
thing. The two little "Sweethearts''
can truly sing and they need no loud
speaker to be heard over the audi
torium
Remember the date, Saturday morn
ing, at Stevensons theatre at 1920
o'clock and also remember that "The
Land of Song and Dance is after all
composed OF 'little people, but are big
enough to dance and sing their way
right into your hearts.
