MITCHEL FIELD, N. T., Jnne 19 (A P) Col. and Mrs. Charles A. Lindbergh came out of their honeymoon seclusion today, the p'ace of their return to public l!fe being, fittingly, ;an aviation field. The famous flier and his wife spent the morning here to wit ness the first tests in the $150, 600 competition being held by the Daniel Cu?genheim fund for the promotion of aeronautics in the hope of discovering a "fool proof" airplane. Before the testing of the first egtrant began the Lindberghs diove up to the hangar in the colonel's car, sunburned from three weeks on their honeymoon yacht, and became at once the center of all interest. They pos ed for news pictures together and then with a group of officials of the Guggenheim fund later, the colonel to'.d reporters something about the pafety competition. He expressed the opinion that although aviation was on a sound footing commercially, planes must be made far safer and easier to handle than at present before the day of universal flying could dawn. Col. Lindbergh took up the STUYTON HIS M ELECTION Supt. ff. E. Tobie and Staff of 10 Teachers to be in Charge of Schools first entry Jn the safety competi tion for a trial flight, with Harry Guggenheim, president of the fund, as passenger. His only pre paration for the' flight, the first since his marriage, was to cast aside bis blue serge coat and don a helmet and parachute. After a short spin in the air, during which he did no stunting, he landed and almost at once took Mrs. Lindbergh up for a ride In a fast army biplane. They stayed in the air about 10 min utes, circling high above the Long Isl-irid fields. The Lindberghs seemed in high spirits and only for a moment did the colonel show any annoyance at the attentions of the press. When he went up for his first flight he left his wife sitting in their car and a couple of camera men who had come late and miss ed the posed pictures began "shooting" Mrs. Lindbergh, she promptly started the engine and drove along the edge of the field to a position between two hangars where she was hldded from the photographers. When the colon el landed and learned what .had happened be frowned and strode where .she was hidden from the other end of the field where the army ship was wanning up. He helped his wife adjust her para chute, aided her to climb into the passenger cockpit, and strapped her securely In. After that flight the Lind berghs left the field.

MEXICO CITY, June 19. (AP) A day of waiting for decision by Pope Plus on the basis of agree ment for settling the controversy between the Mexican government and the Roman Catholic, church, bore no results today. The watch ers settled down to a night Tlgil thinking that a cable message from Vatican city might be reciv ed in the late hours. It was learned that the subject has been put up flatly to the pon tiff and that announcement of a definite settlement of the three year old problem depends only upon his assent. If his approval i received. President Portes Gil and the papal legate, Archbishop Ruiz Y. Flores of Michoacan, will meet and sign the prepared public statement. The world will then learn the terms of the conciliation. Government Unwilling To Concede Further It was admitted In authoritative circles here that if Pope Pius dis approves the present agreement, the chances for a settlement will be remote. It was declared that the concord reached by the pres ident and archbishop represents the limit to which the Mexican government can go. The terms of the agreement were cabled to the Vatican through the Chilean embassy at Rome on Monday night. Since then the ne gotiators here have maintained an attitude of watchful waiting; f Anxiety Increases ! j As Jfo Word Conies It had been hoped that a reply would arrive this morning. As the day passed and nothing came from Vatican city, anxiety increased among the negotiators. Rome time is seven hours ahead of Mexico City clocks. Hence, by 6 o'clock to night hope for immediate receipt of a message waned although the vigil was continued on the chance that a decision had been reached at the Vatical last night aud that new of It might arriva at any time. Ambassador Dwlght W. Morrow, )ia niin4 nromlaent nart in the negotiations, conferred with President Portes Gil tor ten min utes this morning. Ha spent the nf tha dar it the embassy. Archbishop Ruis remained at his residence all day and Bishop fas cial Diaz of Tabasco, who aided in the negotiations, also spent most of the day indoors.

Cobbs at Jefferson Pioneers in Fields DEVELOPMENT IS RAPID DENVER, June 19 (AP) Upton Sinclair, novelist, lost bis $290,000 libel suit against the Rocky Mountain News today when a federal district court jury returned a verdict for the newspaper after a brief period of deliberation. The writer's suit against the News was declared unique in that it charged that the News, through Lee Taylor Casey. News column ist had libeled Sinclair through the review of a biography of Sin clair written by Floyd Dell. The book review severely ar raigned Sinclair on the basis of the biography, and also upon his own writing, and acts. The News, in defense, pleaded that the ar raignment was the truth, and the case was given to the Jury with the instructions that if they thought the review was the truth, a verdict for the defendant should be returned. Before the case went to the jury, Judge J. Foster Symes elim inated Sinclair's claim for $100, 000 exemplary damages, allowing a claim for $100,000 actual dam ages to stand. Haven't you often wondered where all those bright colored mail boxes, marked with the name of some daily newspaper, came from? I have and the other day I found out, quite by accident, that every one is made at the W. L. Cobb shop in Jefferson. These gay colored boxes go into all parts of Oregon, Washington Idaho and California. Mr. Cobb sells direct to the newspapers and each paper provides specifications as to the size and color of the box and the type ot lettering it I to have. The boxes are made of galvan ized iron and are in three sizes; the standard size, five and one- 10 o'clock in the morning until evening.

Story Fascinating One "How did you ever happen to start mnfclnf thpm?" I asked Mr. Cobb. The story goes back to the; time when a son. Glen Cobb was a ' newsboy and his father was run nine a raraze. Glen found that it was a real problem to keep the papers dry in the boxes provided for them at the various homes. He took the matter up with the pager he represented but they too were unable to offer a solution to the problem. Glen told ."Dad" about the difficulty and then they set to work to figure out a device that might be convenient to use and at the same time protect the paper. Mr. Cobb invented a hinge cover for the front of the box that could be pushed aside easily and would automatically swing naca into position when the paper was placed in the box. Patent was secured and then the device was shown to the man ager of one of the leading daily papers. Like so many new ideas this one" was accepted with reser vations but finally an order for 150 was given to Mr. Cobb. When these were completed they were placed on one route on trial. They were popular from the start and fast year the Cobb plant turned out 20,000 of these boxes. AL1 of the work of manufacture is done by Mr. Cobb and his two sons. One son, Glen is the sales man for the firm and travels all over the Northwest, taking orders from newspapers for these boxes. Mr. Cobb has given up his gar age business entirely and devotes all of his time to the box manu facturing work.
