Cardinal Manager Frankie Frisch is cheered by the news that Dizzy Dean, who has been out of the game with hurt big toe, is hastening to Boston to r join his team; but, Frisch said, if we haven't missed Dean it is because of Silas Kenneth Johnson and the four games he has won on the current road trip.
 Johnsons latest triumph was the three to two defeat handed the Giants yesterday. He turned back the Giants with six hits and dropped them a full game behind the Cubs, who blanked Brooklyn, 9 to 0, while the Pirates were nosing out the Phillies, 6 to 5.
 The Cards have managed to keep well up in the race until Deans re- turn.

SEATTLE, July 20. = After a three weeks trip north from San Diego, on which he was delayed by fog and general bad weather and the theft of his gasoline, Tony Schwamm piloted his "FlyingsHotel' Savoia- -Marchetti to here yesterday The plane was today being serviced at the Lake Union seaplane term inal preparatory to his leaving within the next few days for South east Alaska, on his way to Nome.
 Pilot Schwamm is accompanied by Mechanics T. O. Hansen and James Mullin. Landing at an Ore gon point on his way here, Pilot Schwamm and his crew gassed up their big flying boat for the next days air travel, then spent the night at a hotel. On attempting to start up the next morning, they found that during the night gaso- line pirates had drained their tanks of the last ounce of fuel.
 Schwamm cracked two of his ribs and was otherwise bruised when making a landing in twelve-foot breakers on the way north.
 The plane is 22-passenger af- fair, capable of carrying a four ton pay load. It is of the same general type as the Italian ships that Gen.

Mrs. L. Cecilia Johnston
Sets Record Here in
Less Than ; Years.

David S. Bethune, manager Of the
Washington ONCE Of the Equitable
Life Assurance Society Of New York,
stated yesterday that Mrs. L. Cecilia
Johnston has the distinction Of being
the first woman in Washington to sell
$1,000 900 Of life insurance IN less
than a three-year period.
Mrs. Johnston has been associated
with the Washington Office Of the
Equitable since March, 1884. She was
the only woman in Washington to
qualify for the quarter-million round
table at the National Association OF
Life Underwriters Convention held In
Boston last year.
A great deal of Mrs. Johnston's sue
cess is attributed to her unusual en-
thusiasm for life underwriting plus an
unselfish desire to help solve the prob
lens of others.
Mrs. Johnston says that "too few
women, even in this feministic era,
are intrusted with such responsible
tiles as those Of the life underwater
