can be natural and be himself. He Is
one of those persons with whom the
President can joke and laugh and talk
about almost anything, serious or
otherwise, and have no fear that this
intimacy would be imposed upon or
misplaced
Indications are that nothing definite
has. yet been reached regarding the
settling of the commissionship matter.
If nothing is agreed upon between the
President and Mr. Allen between now
and tomorrow afternoon when the
President stops aboard the cruiser
Houston, it is likely there will be no
decision until after he returns to
Washington three weeks hence.
Happy Trip Is at End.
The President Sc 4med happy that
his long political campaign expedition
across the continent was drawing to
an end and today he cast aside the
role of political prophet to relax and
enjoy himself.
While in this happy mood the Presi-
dent had some more fun at the eX-
pense of Commissioner Allen, whom
several nights ago he introduced to
crowd somewhere in Nevada as my
shrinking violet friend, Judge Allen of
Washington, D. c." Since then the
Commissioner has been greeted by the
members of the presidential party as
Judge"
Today's fun making, with the Presi-
dent and Judge" Allen in the stellar
roles of fun makers, was staged at a
beautiful spot in the giant redwood
section of the Yosemite Park where
the party had halted for lunch. After
the President had eaten with gusto
three mountain trout caught from
a stream only an hour before and
cooked in his presence over fire Of
hot Goals, he then staged burlesque
tree planting in Judge" Aliens honor
Inspired by the many giant trees in
the vicinity, the President selected
for the occasion a sickly looking little
fir tree. To this foot-high tree was
attached a card which read, This
giant tree is named in honor of Judge
George Allen of Washington, D. c.,
July IS, 1888, by President Franklin
D. Roosevelt"
The President made brief but
humorous tree-planting speech to
which Mr. Allen responded in his Gus
tomary witty manner. Mr.. Allen made
it plain that he appreciated the honor
and then made believe that his feel
ings were hurt because such small
and none too healthy tree was Sc
1ected to stand in that forest of giants.
Soon afterward when the ceremony
was over and the Presidents atten-
ton was attracted elsewhere, Mr..
Allen removed the placard from the
puny little tree and tackled it on the
trunk of a huge redwood few feet
from where the party was assembled.
When Mr.. Roosevelt's attention was
called to what had been done with
the placard, the President roared and
said, That shows what the judiciary
can do when they put their minds
to it."

NEW YORK, July 16.-Howard
Hughes, multi millionaire around-the-
world flyer, revealed today before
leaving New York that he estimated
that about $1,000 would cover ex-
penses of the venture.
!. The ship cost me only s60,000,''
Mr. Hughes said The gasoline was
furnished free and the Wright people
gave me the motors. I'm going to
keep them
Mr.. Hughes said he was anxious to
correct reports that expenses Of the
trip ran as high as 100000 lest other
flyers seeking to lower his globe
girdling mark might be discouraged
by such a staggering outlay.
Flight headquarters officials had
estimated that Mr.. Hughes consumed
an average of 70 gallons of fuel per
hour in the 91-hour hop around the
earth.
The next formal appearance of the
flyers is scheduled for next Wednes-
day evening. when dinner in their
honor will be given at the Terrace
Club, on the New York Worlds Fair
grounds.

NEWMAN AND ADLER
 FIND THEMSELVES
 OLD WAR BUDDIES

One of the highlights of the AL aska American Legion Convention at Ketchikan for John H. Newman of Juneau and Don Adler, the Fair banks Delegate, and new Grand Chef de Care of the 40 & 8, was the discovery at the 40 & Banquet that they were old buddies, and that twenty years ago they fought side by side as soldiers in the fam ous Second Division of the United States Army.
 Don Adler served with the 9th Machine Gun Company of the 5th Marines while John Newman fought with the Machine Gun Company of the 23rd U. S. Infantry, both units of the Second Division.
 The Second Division has perhaps the most enviable record of any of the American Divisions partici- pating in the war, suffering one fifth of the battle casualties of the American Army. Of individual regi- ments the 5th Marines lost more heavily than any regiment in the army and the 23rd Infantry was @ close second. Both Newman and Adler were wounded in action.
