Whistles shrieked, horns footed,
flags waved in the breeze and every
one was joyously happy, because
peace had once again come to a
war-torn world. But that was many
years ago, November II, 1918, to be
exact. Those of you who remember,
and unreal quietness brought to the
Western front with the signing OF
the Armistice.
Now. years later, when the dogs
of war are again baying over the
world, comes a motion picture re-
lating the adventures of three heroic

In the capable hands of co-stars
Barbara Stanwyck and Herbert

of Sidney Lanfield's direction, cal

Setting a beautiful tale of modern
mother love before a Kaleidoscope
background of occasional grimness,
sporadic sorrow and vicacious, re-
splendent gowns on Fifth Avenue,
and in Paris, the film scintillates
with the many facets of love that
comes otis characters.
Barbara Stanwyck, in love, waits
for her eager young man who is
speeding to the City Hall to marry
her. He is killed as his car crashes
into trolley. Stunned at the ira
gedy, she wanders toward the river
where Herbert Marshall, a derelict
physician sees that she is taken to
hospital where her son is
born.
Marshall's sincere love for the

clipper out of the water too soon.
Extensive taxing tests followed,
under all tide, water, and wind con-
ditions. These enabled Test Pilot
Edmond Allen to "feel out" the con-
trolls, find the exact take-of spead
with short jumps OF the water,
learn the exact responses of the big
ship.
Every square inch of the giant
airliner has been measured to see
that she comes up to exact Specifi-
| cations as to size and strength.
Every seam of the 1000 square feet
of surface has been put under the
magnifying glass.
Thirty days of factory testing are
being followed by Department of
Commerce inspection. And only in
August will the regular Pan-Amer-
lean pilots and crews take over to
/ learn the feel of their new charge.
HE JUST PULLED
A LITTLE LEVER
But even the men who built the
ship cannot always keep track of
all the gadgets on her control
bridge. One day the ship TAXED
back to the float with a decided list
to port. Inspectors swarmed over the
lowered wing and found one of the
seawing tanks full of liquid. At first
it was thought that the wing had
struck log and sprung a leak.
But examination of the wing
revealed not a scratch. Only then
did one of the crew turn up with
an explanation. "Oh, think that"
he said. Il was sitting on the flight
deck wondering what that yellow
lever was for, and gave it pull"
And that yank of the lever simply
took 200 gallons of gas out of one
wing tank and dumped it into the
empty sea-wing tank. Which made
the ship 1900 pounds heavier on one
side than on the other.
Pan-American can afford to take
its time with this testing. For 1t has
81 crews ready to take charge of the
new clipper and its three sister ships
now under construction. And much
of the Survey" work to be done
late this summer by the British and
German lines was done by Pan
American as early as 1881.

Seattle, Wash, July 81 Com
mercial conquest of the Atlantic is
the next big thrill which aviation
has to offer.
The methodically prepared How
ard Hughes flight to Paris and on
around the world, and the auda-
cious and impromptu hop to Ireland
by Douglas Corrigan, have proved
the way further for establishment
of regularly scheduled passenger
flights over the Atlantic.
The conquest begins late this
summer. British, German, and
French planes are poised for test
hops across the ocean in planes de-
signed for commercial use.
Here at Seattle the Boeing 314,
worlds largest airplane, is in the
midst of eXacting tests to verify her
fitness as the American (Pan-
American) entry in the race.
,, Within month the North Allan
tic will be a-buzz with wings.

careful tests in California before
moving east for his takeoff. And
Corrigan, with 5000 worth of 9-year-
old plane and the luck of the Irish,
made practically no tests at all.
TAKING
NO CHANCES
But the testing of the clipper Is
something else again. A million dol
lars and three years of planning and
dreaming have gone into this Alton
flying boat, which is actually bigger
than some of the ocean ships of
early explorers.
Although the testing of the clip
per has been going on for weeks, the
flying tests by her future crew will
not be made until August, and act
ual flights across the ocean not
until later in the fall. Passengers
won't be carried until next year.

SEA-MINDED
BY THE MAN IN THE TOWER

I'm very fond of the seashore,
so am, I am,
But I've never actually
Gone digging for clam.
I'm very fond Of sea bathing,
1 love the waves and such,
But seaweed leaves me cold
hate to feel its touch
I'm very fond Of the ocean surf,
Like to go under the waves In bound,
But I've never caught any Holsters
Or shared them in pound
I'm very fond Of the ocean,
Love to hear its booming roar and swish,
don't know dinghy from scow,
Nor gone out for deep sea fish.
I'm very fond of the seashore,
So I am, am,
And though I've never dug one up
dearly love clam.

The West Wind will blow for my poet friend
Who is sleeping where grass and daisies bend
There Is life and color as sand dunes pile
And the gulls are screaming mile after mile.
The hills look down at the twisted pine
Where his ashes lie and his words are mine
o wind blow across the whispering sea-
May his faith and memory follow me.

would be resumed this Week to effect

a major part of the group and we
are certainly pleased to have them in
the organization. However, there are
still few who have not been install
ed, but we expect to have them "ride
the goat" next meeting night.
At the present time we can boast
of nearly one hundred per cent men,
bership at our plant, the Mutual Pot
terry. This, we feel, is very good con-
sidering the short time we have been
organized. | think ] am safe in say
ing that every branch except two is
represented now, and we hope to have
those two groups in the very near
future.
Vice President George Cook gave a
fine report on the meeting with the
union plumbers of New Jersey. Ac-
cording to Brother Cook they are try
ing to reach an agreement with the
plumbers, which will be beneficial to

Importance OF Not
Allowing Dues Slip
Stressed By Q. C. 86
Costs No More To Protect
Your Fd1nilY-Keep
Up-to-Dute

About two months ago | stressed
the Importance of keeping dues and
assessments paid up in full at all
times. Many of our members have
wondered why two death claims of
members of Local Union No. 86 were
settled for five dollars each. The
families of these men lost approx
mately $3.50 dollars each at a time
when ready cash was in great demand
because the members failed to keep
abreast with their dues and assess
ments. You must be in good standing
to receive the insurance the Brother.
hood offers it's members for prompt
payment Of obligations.
While we know it is only neglect
in most cases, that is what makes il
all the harder to understand. 1t is
just as easy to pay in advance and
be on the safe side as it is to be lag
ging and having the collector ap-
preaching you all the time. Think OF
your families now. What would they
do if you were to suddenly stop bring
ing home money on pay days. Aren't
your wife and children deserving OF
all the protection you can give them
Some members believe the fault lies
with the officials or the local. This
sentiment is expressed when they are
overcome with sentiment for the
family of dead friend, but you know
you can't allow an insurance policy tC
lapse and it is exactly the same ir
this case. The laws are clear and il
is the duty of the officials we elect
to follow them to the letter, no mat
ter what the case.
After the extremely large attend
ance at our May 2 meeting, the turn

This local should take an active in
