CORRIeAN HERE
FOR BRIEF STAY

Douglas Corrigan landed his
5000 crate" this morning at
Washington airport-on purpose
and apparently going in the direc-
ton that he intended.
Coming from Norfolk, he plan
ned to take off this afternoon for
Atlantic City with another stop at
Pittsburgh before attending the
Cleveland air races Saturday.
The famous wrong way flier.
whose unexpected trip to Ireland
made him an international hero,
was in fine fettle with his Irish
humor today. When he remarked
that the Governor Of Texas made
him an honorary officer on his
staff and that he has a 10-gallon
hat as a Texas souvenir, someone
asked: There wasn't anything in
it, was there?"
Whereupon Corrigan quipped:
"And there won't be when I put
it on, either"
He estimated that he has been
in about 40 paradeS in the last
three weeks. since his visit here.
When someone asked if he wasn't
tired of it all, his Irish grin came
to the rescue again and he said
it would all be over soon "and
then can get some Sleep"
He's been sleeping only about
fourS hours a night.
Corrigan is going out to Los
Angeles September 10

u. 5. Ships Shifted
From Mexican POri

U.N.S) The cruise Of five
American destroyers to Vera Cruz,
Mexico, was suddenly shifted to-
day to avoid a possible diplomatic
embarrassment.
The change conceded with
accusations in the Mexican press
that the visit Of the destroyers to
the Mexican port was directly con-
nected with the diplomatic battle
between the United States and
the Cardenas government over
Mexico's appropriation of Amer
lands. The destroyers
are carrying reservistS from New
Orleans, Houston and Dallas for
annual training from August q
to September 8.

Tammany leader.
Davis was called after Justice
Ferdinand Pecora denied a motion
Of Defense Counsel Lloyd p.

mony Of John r. Carry, former
Tammany Hall chief.
Stryker made the motion after
he had conducted a searching

Curry had declared under cross
examination that when he for
warded requests to the police COM
missioner in 1888 for the transfer
Of policemen in disfavor with the
Schultz gang, he had no knowledge
of why the changes were asked.
The transfers were made at the
request Of various Tammany dis
trict leaders, including Hines.
District Attorney Thomas E.
Dewey has been attempting to
prove that Hines made his re-
quest for transfers because the
'Dutch" Schultz mob, which in
1888 was running the $40, 0,000, ,000-
a-year policy racket, had asked
Hines to "do something" about
police officers who were "too at

BY KINGSBURY SMITH

LONDON. Aug. 81 G.N.SJ.
The burden of preserving peace
in Europe was virtually dumped
in the lap of Reichsfuehrer Hit
Ter today as Sir Neville Henderson,
British ambassador to Germany,
flew to Berlin with a new plea for
cooperation in the grave Sudeten
autonomy crisis.
With receipt of direct word from
Prague that Czechoslovakia is
convinced Nazi Germany will
march If the Sudeten demands
are not satisfied by September IS.
Great Britain swung to the view
that peace or war depends upon
the Fuehrer alone. d..
Friday Crucial Day
The Sudetens themselves, Inter
national News Service learned,
have asked for . period Of grace
luntil Friday bsfore replying to the
Czech governments latest pro
posals. In the interim, they will
confer with Hitler and it is he
who will decide the issue o: peace
Or war.
The view prevails in British
quarters that Friday will be the
crucial day. It was believed here
the Sudetens can obtain Satisfac-
tory settlement from the Czechs
if Hitler wants to permit 1t. Every
thing depends upon the Fuehrer,
Britain believes, and there is some
concern over the fact he has gone
into virtual SecluSion at BerchteS-
gaden.'

YOUR TEETH AND YOUR BEAUTY

Few of us realize how important
our teeth are to our general appear
ance. When we study ourselves in
the mirror the chances are ten to
one that we don't even notice our
teeth. We are in much too serious
a mood when contemplating our as
sets and defects to think of smiling.
But actually wide, engaging smile
revealing cleaning white teeth can
redeem a face that is otherwise
homely and make plain face posi-
lively lovely.
A Part of Beauty Routine
Proper care of the teeth, like al
most all other beauty rites, should
be reduced to a scheduled routine.
Careful brushing twice day is es-
sential to a healthy mouth. Get
good stiff tooth brush and brush
thoroughly with an up-and-down
motion rather than with sweeping
horizontal strokes. Be sure to brush
the gums, too. Brush them towards
the teeth to prevent any tendency
they may have to recede. Healthy
gums make<f for healthy teeth and
one cannot exist without the other.
Although many people like to keep
two tooth brushes in use at the
same time, this is not necessary.
Be sure, however to hang your
toothbrush out in the air so that it
can dry thoroughly between brush
ings. And don't keep using it after
it has lost its stiffness. A brush
loses it's effectiveness if it is too
soft.
Diet, too, is important in the care
of teeth and gums. Fruit and milk
are the most important aids to
healthy teeth. A famous dentist
