LOST DAUGHTER
u, .-kks

Lost daughter" is the story Of q
girl who did not quite know who
she was. Launched with all the
verve Of mystery story, it soon
gains depth of meaning and the
glow of warm human drama. jim
ny Gilder-whose secret other self
is "Aurora"-is a heroine with the
brilliance and appeal of youth in
jeopardy. Aurora, she thought,
could not be real-but was.
Upon a seward height in Mont
ecito, in southern California, Casa
Consuelo rises among its flowers,
a home founded upon illusion, fit
setting for this psychological ro-
nance. Mrs. Peattie has told it with
her well-known gift for atmosphere
writing; in striking contrast the
Nebraska prairie and the Massa-
chusetts shore form a background
for the warm and solid figure of
Mrs. Rafferty,, whose great-hearted
bargain with life brought Michael
into the story that was hers and
Aurora's.
AS in American Acres" Mrs.
Peattie swiftly depicts the brittle,
glittering life of worldlings, and of
simple people among them. There
is quality to her writing that gives
the reader a lift.
THEY WANTED TO LIVE
BY Roberts
Readers of Victoria Four-Thir-
ty" will recall that the only char
acter who did not embark on that
momentous trip across Europe was
young James Brown, the porter at
Victoria Station. Whenever he saw
the Continental Express pull out,
he nursed a hope that one day he
might be among the passengers. He
even went so far as to promise
Elizabeth Parrish a honeymoon
abroad.
Now Cecil Roberts has set the
happy couple on their way. In
Paris they encounter Mr.. Waddle,
a rare character with a worldwide
mission, who takes them to a Wen
ma in the turmoil of the Nazi in
vasion. What they see there awak-
ems in peaceful Mr.. and Mrs. Brown
the spirit of revolt. With the aid
of Count Matany, they join the par
ty fighting for Herr Gollwitzer, the
famous conductor, now in exile at
Budapest.
Suddenly the Browns realize their
wonderful chance for gaiety under
the sophisticated guidance Of Count
Matany. Mrs. Brown, developing
an aristocratic complex, is convinc-
ed that she has now entered the
sphere for which Nature designed
her. Ambitious and beautiful, she
responds at once to the glamour
Of the Hungarian scene. From trag-
10 tension to reckless pleasure, the
story proceeds in q setting of the
night life of Europe's blithest CAPT.
tai, with an interlude on the illimit-
able plains Of the Puszta.
Then fate enters this scene OF
romantic frivolity and skaters the
illusion. Mr.. Roberts has presented
a. dark drama In brilliant contrast
with the heady music of the Hun
garian scene.

Wrights could not get their ma
chine in the air unless there was
wind of four miles or less. That
is why they flew shortly after SUM-
up or just about SundOWn. The
wind is usually low at those times.
They preferred, however, the early
morning hour.
Always there was trouble getting
OF the ground. Sometimes they
mad to make 20 or 80 attempts. They
had a tripod. 80 feet high, from
which was suspended a weight. A
long cable line was attached to the
machlne-and, at given signal, the
weight was dropped Then the ma
chine was virtually pulled off the
earth. This was the only way they
could make a 'take-off.' The little
four-cylinder engine could not lift
the load of its own accord.
Nor could the plane be balanced
properly always. One day Orville
Wright asked me to sit in the front
seat with him to see how my weight
affected the plane When I got in,
he started the machine off the
ground. 1t went only a few feet,
but I always say I had a ride in
the first airplane that ever flew.

along as passenger. They had a
time getting above the graSs-t tops
but they managed to make it around
the field once at height of about
10 feet. Then they rose to about Is
feet, on the second lap. and then to
the height of the tree-tops. That
was when the accident occurred.
"A small piece Of propeller blade
fell to earth. That was the signal
OF disaster. There was no noise, no
explosion of any kind. The machine
just wabbled and came down a pile
Of fabric. There was no fire, only
cloud of dust.
Father and I ran to the stricken
plane. 1t was only so feet from
where we stood. And there were the
injured men under the plane. We
helped pull them out. and father was
the first medical man to attend
them. They were taken to hos
pital, where 1t Selfridge, who never
regained consciousness. was pro-
nounced dead three hours later. Or

MILAN, Italy, Aug "A mock in

today set large-scale Italian military
maneuvers in motion.
The ATTACK" by red" forces was
repulsed after initial success, but
enemy" aviation penetrated anti
aircraft defenses, causing consider
able theoretical damage behind the
lines.
While the army of the Pc was
moving into position for a counter
attack tomorrow, enemy" planes
bombed and destroyed" two bridges
over the Ticino River.
The engineer corps, working
throughout the night, replaced them
with pontoon bridges at Pavia and
Bereguardo, enabling the defending
army to continue its march toward
the frontier.
Duce Sees Columns Move.
Premier Mussolini, in a tup-hour
flight by bombing plane over the
maneuver area, saw his motorized
columns moving westward
The army of the Po, playing the
principal role in resisting pretended
invasion from France through the
Piedmont region, filled Milan-its

In the Padua area to the east up
ward of $4,000 men, armed with
virtually every kind of modern war

that the maneuverS would show

to "annihilate' any enemy daring

He gave the war games a propa-

that no theory is good if it does not

TOXIC, Aug. 2-The United States
was reported today to have protested
to the Japanese foreign Office that
the anti-British movement in China
evidently had broadened into general
anti-foreign agitation.
Eugene H. Dooman, United States
Charge d'Affaires, was said by re-
liable sources to have submitted
protest on eseven recent assaults on
Americans by japanese in China and
to have told Seijiro Yoshizawa,
chief of the foreign Office American
section, that it was a reasonable
assumption" anti-British activities
had been converted into general
anti-foreignism.
Six Missionaries Involved.
The seven assaults were said to
have involved six missionaries and

British Ambassador Sir Robert
Leslie Cra;gie, meanwhile, was said
to have threatened to break up the
BritiSh-JapaneSe conference on
Tientsin unless japanese placed the
anti-British movement under con-
troll.
The foreign Office denied the re-
port and the British Embassy re-
fused to comment beyond stating
Sir Robert had talked with Sotomat-
su Kato, Japanese Ambassador at
Large in China, who is here for the
conference on Tientsin
Currency Difficulties.
The report was interpreted in Jap
aneSe circles, however, as a case of
Great Britain and America acting
together in the Far East. Jap
anese have contended the British
attitude has become sitter since the
United States served notice July 81
of abrogation of the 1911 commercial
treaty with Japan.
The official position was that
conversations to settle the TientSin
issue were proceeding smoothly
through the question of the policing
of TientSin, but that there was diff
flculty over japanese demands that
Britain withdraw her support of
Chinese Generalissimo Chang Kai-
shek's currency.

BY JOHN J. DAILY.


A boyhood enthusiasm for a new
sport - aviation - led DR.. r. X.
Thompson, dental surgeon, to the
scene of Americas first tragedy of
the air.
That was on September IT, 1908,
at Fort Myer, Va, when Orville
Wright, the inventor of the first
practical flying machine, and his
passenger, 1t. Thomas E. Selfridge,
U. S. A., crashed.
1t. Selfridge became the first mar
tyr to aeronautics. Orville Wright
suffered fractured thigh and sew
eral broken ribs, but he lived to see
the opening of the great highway
overhead
DR.. Thompson in his Office in the
Columbia Medical Building ran
across an old file of his fathers
yesterday and recalled those DAYS
OF the early birdmen. In that file
were pictures of the first tragedy
and a handkerchief that had bound
the head of Orville Wright imme-
dlately after the accident
DR.. Thompson's father was one
OF Washington's most celebrated
family physicians, DR.. Millard F.
Thompson, who died some years
ago at the age of 85.
Thought Langley a Nut.
In 1908, when the present DR..
thompson was a boy, his father
bebcame interested in aeronautics,
He had known the late Prof. Lang
ley of the Smithsonian Institution,
who conducted experiments on the
Potomac with what was then called
flying machine
Everybody hereabout, including
the boys of the neighborhood
thought Prof Langley was a nut "
DR.. Thompson said. Nevertheless.
they all wanted to see him make
his experiments, but precious few
old. He was mighty secretive.
However, when the Wrights had
completed their initial tests at Kitty
Hawk and came to Washington with
Two flying machines-to sell to the
Government enthusiasm rose
high.
Every morning at sun-up," DR..
Thompson says, dad would get out
the 'horseless buggy and we'd ride
over Long Bridge. through Brick
haven, to Arlington Cemetery and
then onto the drill field at Fort
Myer where the Wrights were
demonstrating their machine. 1t
was not in the experimental stage
then. 1t was an actual demonstra-
ton, for they were to receive S25.-
600 from the Government when
they could prove to the experts that
the machine would fly with a pas
senger.
