Atterbury Gets Lindbergh
The President's Veto
Turtle and Man
Sing, and Be Well "
' By Arthur Brisbane '
(fnnvrlght 1928 ay Star Cimpany)
Much airplane news. Nobile,
Italian, started at 4:40 yester
day morning for Spitzbergen to
cross the North Pole. 750 miles
Way. He hoped to land at the
Pole and .plant a big wooden
cross given him by the Pope,
but was forced by storms to
turn back.
Another Italian, Captain Sa
belli, good fighter in the war,
expects to start . from New
York to Rome in a few days in
a Bellanca plane..
And the French start a flight
westward from Brest to the
Statue of Liberty,, by way of
the Azores, within two weeks,
. ,
The important air news is
Lindbergh's appointment as
chief advisor of the air-rail
company to carry passengers
across the continent . in Pull
mans at night, airplanes' by
day, in forty-eight hours. That
Lindbergh deal is a triumph
for General Atterbury, head of
'the Pennsylvania Railroad,
who visited Henry Ford at
Dearborn last Friday.
President Coolidge vetoes
the McNary-Haugen bill, pro
nouncing it Unconstitutional.
The President says it would
aid foreign competitors of our
farmers, instead of solving our
own farm problem, stimulate
profiteering and call for a new
gigantic bureaucracy. . . ,.-.;y,
That probably ends the bill
for this session, leaving one
worry for the next President.
Every year for twenty-two
years Hovard , Porter's tame
mud turtle has crawled from
its swampy home to a moun-
tain two miles away, returning
when the summer ends.
Evolutionists tell you that
monkeys, migrating from damp
low lands, up hill toward the
mountains, with front legs
higher than hind legs, gradu
ally learned t o stand up
straight. And in consequence
men now walk upright and
look at the stars, instead of the
ground.
You are not compelled to
believe that. '
Madame Reggia, opera sing
er, climbed the 1,258 steps of
New York's Woolworth Build
ing in 1 3 minutes 4 seconds,
beating previous records.
Thirty eight years old,
weight 104 pounds, the lady
earned $3,000 by the climb,
and did a useful thing by im
pressing the health value of
singing. Nothing develops the
lungs as singing does. Sing at
your work and avoid consump
tion. Teach your chldrcn to
sing. Imitate the British, who
always sing, whether they can
sing or not.
,
England's King and Queen
have met an American girl, of
-whom her country may be
proud. Miss Ruth Draper, pre
sented at court last night, in
herited a compound . intelli
gence, and her work proves it.
s
A young woman of such rare
intelligence and talent should
be married, and mother of
many children. That, of course,
is her business, but careers for
women unfortunately often
keep fine children out of the
world.
That war gas explosion in
Hamburg becomes more inter
esting to Americans. Chicago
stockyards will be interested to

to burn all foodstuffs within
five miles of the explosion.

"I have no message," he told a
