The Ace of Ace flyers is Dick Merrill,
the only man in history to ever complete
two round trip flights across the Atlantic
ocean. And he holds the record for the
fastest two-way journey ever completed
over the Atlantic.
Merrill returned to America from MS
Coronation fight to England IN less tnan
five DAYS after he had first taken on at
FLOYD Bennett Field in New York. HIS
5000 mile eastward trip had been COW
cred in II hours and 2 minutes with an
average speed of 40 miles per hour, ano
his average speed for the return hignt
home was IA miles per hour. His fight
covered total distance OF approximately
1000 miles in less than five days.
It was Merrill's second round TIP
ocean crossing in less than year, ana
was the first commercial fight ever made
across the Atlantic. AS representative OF
a newspaper syndicate, he procured ano
returned to America pictures OF the col
orful Coronation.
1t is interesting to note that Pilot Dici

Mr.. Editor:

Mr.. Editor:
Will you kindly give space to some
criticism OF Initiative Petition No.
100, which seeks an entirely new
set-up of labor conditions in this
state. This petition is adroitly drawn
and sweetly sponsored by the Wo-
men Of Washington, front and three
corporation lawyers back. It is a
gesture toward labor-capital control
that all fair minded thinkers desire
but experienced union men see in it
a complete cancellation Of all gains
they have made in century Of or
ganized effort. This bill provides
that 80 days must pass after de-
mands are made on the employer,
in which there can be no union ac-
tivities whatever, but does nothing
to stop the employer from doing
anything he chooses to do. So he
may choose to discharge every man
in his employ. He may import a
herd of criminal-record strike
breakers, armed with all the de-
vices which the LaFollette commit,
tee has revealed to be in common
use in such cases. And in another
section Of the petition this 40 day
period may easily extend to six
months by even one employee, and
he a stooge. 1t then calls for an
election among the men actually
engaged by employers certified
by him at that time. Queery-how
many real union men would there
be left by that timer The election"
to be supervised by the county audi
tor, who may have no experience of
such matters, and of course, un-
equipped with the proper judgment
for working out justice. And even
the case does not stop with the
auditor. The employer can take the
case to the district courts--where
again there may be no experience in
handling labor controversies, SO the
way is open for appeal after appeal
ad infinitum. Here we have the
most scientific means of delay ever
conceived and all this time the
employees are the only ones that
must not do anything while the pc
tition states that the employer may
do any act he desires to do. Who
can imagaine any plan more UNI

LOW OPERATING
COST PROVED IN
FRICIDAIRE SHOW

One Of the features Of q special
refrigerator showing now being held
by local Frigidaire dealers, IS q spec
tacular demonstration which gives
startling proof Of low operating cost.
Automatic refrigeratorS have been
showing constant Improvement in
operating cost through the last sew
eral years" stated one representative,
''but this year Frigidaire engineers
have reached q new all time record
for economical operating cost.
low cost for current consumption, and
so nearly unbelievable Is It, that we
will not ask anyone to accept our
word alone.
I'm this special showing, Frigidaires
have been connected to sealed elec-
trio meters, which register exactly
the amount Of current used day by
day. These Frigidaires contain q reg
ular storage load of food and ice, just
as Is the case In home, and the doors
are opened even more frequently.
1.-The meters have been built with
q large single dial that looks quite
like q speedometer on some of the
new automobiles and IS just as easy
to read.

the majority Of people who have at
tended the showing so far. They now
readily understand why we have
called the mechanical unit the
"meter-miSer."
Important, too, Is the fact that this
remarkably low operating cost has
been made possible without any Sac
riflce of temperature or ice freezing
ability, AS has been the case with all
Frigidaires Of the past, temperatures
are maintained well within the food
safety zone at all times.
And even this fact Is proved, for a
food safety indicator shows that food
temperatures are In the safety zone.
while an accurate thermo gauge

And with all Of this, operating costs
re lower than ever"

Dear Editor:
As I have nothing to do this
morning I will write you a short
letter. But as I have nothing In
particular to say I am afraid
viii find it difficult to make it
worth the two cents the postman
requires to take it to you. I re-
ceived your notice of how much
owe you and my pleasure of hearing
from you again is offset by my sor-
row to think that you would waste
paper, pen, ink and postage on such
a pain effort. Owing to circum-
stances over which I have no i'm
mediate control it is impossible at
this time for me to meet your re-
quest with anything more substan-
tial than many good wishes for your
future well being.
1.-The Good Book, says to. "be all
things to all men," So to you bloat-
ed plutocrats, who make your living
by the sweat of your brain and
pile up your wealth where the far
seeking income tax man cannot
find it, am a staunch Democrat,
who believes in deficits, broken
promises and unpaid debts.
To those who have more than I
have I am a socialist and demand
an immediate division of all wealth
but towards those poor unfortunate
devils who have less worldly goods
than I happen to possess I am a
rock-ribbed Republican and stern
ly believe in mistaken liberty and
rugged individualism. Now, just q
word about what is the matter with
this country. Some one asks me
that question every day, SO by this
time I know all the questions, but
have not been able to learn quite
all the answers. But I will say
without any fear of honest contra
diction that the 'Fiasko" and fall
ure of the so-called New Deal is the
greatest indictment to higher edu-
cation and modern civilization than
any thing that ever happened in
the world.
While our smart people were busy
getting themselves an education, the
ignorant ones were busy taking po-
session of all the natural resources
of the country, so when the time
comes to experiment in giving the
world the benefit of broader life,
there was nothing left to give. In
other words while they were getting
good they got too good. # you
know what I mean. In q govern
ment like ours it takes votes to

Just to illustrate what I am try.
ing to say, I win tell you of poor
guy that stopped at the house the
other morning. -..-..
He was old and poor, ragged and
hungry, and had q tale of woe as
long as the moral law. And since
I have Joined the great army OF
the unemployed, have abundance
of time to listen to such stories.
Il was not always poor" he told
me as we were sitting in the shade.
II had 1t made once and things
looked rosy for me and my family,
but I got too good. had home
stead out on the great plains and
tried to raise chickens. First it
was lack of feed and water and
then coyotes and other varmints,
until it was, nip and tuck between
the chickens and the many dangers
that threatened their existence. But
at last by rugged determination and
persistent crossing with the hard
Ter breeds, I developed a flock that
could whip coyote dodge hawk
and catch jack rabbits, live on
grasshoppers and go ten miles to
water.
when the government built q
road past my place, I put up a
service station and tourist camp and
began to live a life of ease. Every
one noticed my chickens and of
course every tourist would feed
them some thing that was left over
from their lunch. Well the out
come was that the birds soon quit
foraging around for bugs, worms
and hoppers and began trailing au-
tos and they soon got so they could
run along side of a car going thirty,
forty or fifty miles an hour.
Now naturally a chicken that can
run fifty miles an hour for ten
miles or so is bound to attract some
attention. So it was not long un-
til there were reporters and news
men out there to write them up and
take thir pictures. Very soon my
chickens began to attract world
wide attention and I began to re-
ceive orders for eggs from all over
the United States.
But do you think I could fill
them. Not on your life. So much
attention made those hens so proud
they would not lay an egg for love
or money, so the most noble breed
of chickens in the world soon be-
came extinct"
Hoping you are the same, I beg
to remain,
Yours truly,

said it is to point out that all this
time the National Labor Relations
law is in full force, unaffected by
the state law with which IL con-
flicts in almost every respect. Try
to picture the confusion and dis
order that would prevail IL both
systems were in operation at once.
Common sense reyolts against IL.
My opinion that since the Wagner
bill has been validated by the u. &.
Supreme Court, the whole scheme
of setting up a state law in con-
flict Herewith is unconstitutional.
The only answer the intelligent vot-
er can give to this initiative petition
is an emphatic no.
