AIRMEN START ROUND GLOBE
First Earth-Encircling Airway to Be
Charted To Take 5 Months.
HOUSE
mm
Clover Field, Santa Monica, Cal.
Airmen of the United States army
started around the world from here
Monday to chart the first globe-encircling
airway. Eyes of 23 nations
will be upon the skies between now
and August as the American aviators
wing their way on the 30,000-mile
voyage in an effort to accomplish that
in which recent attempts of the French
and British airmen failed.
The flight started at 9:32 o'clock,
when, amidst acclaim of thousands,
Major Frederick L. Martin of Chanute
field, Rantoul, 111., zoomed. His take
off was followed immediately by that
of Lieutenant Lowell H. Smith of Los
Angeles and Lieutenant Leigh Wade
of Cosmopolis, Mich. A score of army
and civilian airplanes followed as an
escort and soon disappeared Into the
clouds to the northward, which for
moro than two hours had raised
doubts in tho minds of the flight com
manders as to whether they should at
tempt to dart through them over the
Techanapi pass.
America's attempt to map the first
world airway will bo carried out In a
series of flights ranging from 186
miles to 8G0 miles. The first jump
was from Clover field to Mather field,
Sacramento. The second, will bo from
Sacramento to Vancouver, barracks,
Washington, across the river from
Portland, Or. The world cruisers are
scheduled to fly to Seattle, where
pontoons will bo installed for marine
landings until the fliers reach Cal
cutta, India.
Tho beginning of tho flight, expect
ed by many to be but a simple dash
of 4Vfc hours of ideal weather con
ditions, proved to bo a beginning of
the many problems that the intrepid
airman will be called upon to solve in
their journey.
BERGD0LL READY TO
PAY AS DRAFT EVADER
Now York. Grever Cleveland Berg
doll, convicted during the war as a
draft evader, has agreed to return to
America to servo bis sentence in a
fader prison, it was announced Mon
day by Norman llapgood, editor of
Hearst's international Magazine.
Bergdoll will return at tho invita
tion of the American Legion, which
through John Quinn, national com
mander, Issued a statement tonight
declaring the legion had been ac
cused of attempting to kidnap Berg
doll and it was timo to "show the
World" that the organization stood for
law and order.
The legion's offer was made by
I.elghton II. lllood, a member of the
organization, who said ho went to
Germany to carry out a plan mapped
out by Garland W. Powell, national
director of tho legion's Americanism
commission, and Lemuel Holies, na
tional adjutant.
"My mission was to Invito Berg
doll to como back to America with
me of his own free will," said Blood.
"As long as Bergdoll was In Ger
many tho anti-German feeling in the
legion would bo strengthened and
would count in American politics.
Therefore, If a plan could be worked
out by which Bergdoll could be
brought back to America, It would help
everybody."
Blood said he was violating no con
fidence in giving a summary of the
terms be made Bergdoll.
"Here It Is," said Mood. "Bergdoll
must come back. He must servo his
sentence The American Legion is
not so much Interested In Bergdoll
as in the men who helped his escupe
from America. Let's bring Bergdoll
back nnd havo him make a clean
breast and tell who the onemles In
our own camp are. Then let him do
his bit in prison. After that give him
his money and let him go his way."
Mr. llapgood said Bergdoll had sold
his automobiles and other properties
in Germany and even selected the
ship on which he wished to return to
America.

INSURANCE FEATURE
Endowment Policies to Be Given Veterans-Cost
to Be About Two
Billion Dollars.
Washington, D. C. The proposed
bonus to soldiers of the world war
would cost a trifle more than $2,000,
000,000 spread over 20 years, accord
ing to the majority report of the
house ways and means committee on
the pending adjusted compensation
bill, which was made public Sunday
night.
The average ex-service man, under
the terms of the bill would receive
adjusted compensation amounting to
$382 in the form of a 20-year endow
ment insurance policy for $962. The
amount of the policy would vary ac
cording to the age of the soldier and
tho length of his service.
After two years loans would be
obtainable for 90 per cent of the
value of tho policy at the time, the
loans on a $1000 policy, for example,
ranging from $87.93 in the third year
to $900 in the 20th year.
The bill, says the report, provides
for:
1. The fixing of the amount of the
adjusted service credit to the sur
viving veterans.
2. The payment in cash of the ad
justed service credit to those veterans
to whom $60 or less is due.
3. Provision for payment of the
adjusted service credit to depend
ents of veterans who have died be
fore application has been made.
4. The issuance of an endowment
insurance ceretificate to the remain
der of the surviving veterans applying
therefor in amount and on the terms
hereinafter set forth.
5. The privilege of borrowing upon
such certificates after two years, in
the manner hereinafter explained.
6. Security for such loans and pre

in the hands of banks by whom they
aro made.

sufficient to meet the claims arising
upon the certificates by reason of
death of the veteran or maturity
thereof.
8. Estimates for proper approprla
tions to meet the claims of depend
ants and i hose who are paid in in
surance. The basis of the adjusted service
credit to the soldier is the same as
in the bill, which at the last session
passed both houses, namely $1 a day
for each day of "home service" and
$1.25 a day for "oversea service" not
to exceed, however, in any case $500
for "homo service" or $625 for "over
sea Bervlce."
Tho veteran will receive the equiv
alent of a puid-up 20-year endowment
policy for the amount which his ad
justed service creit plus 25 per cent
would purchase at his age, of such in
surance computed in accordance with
accepted actuarial principles and bas
ed upon American experience tables of
mortality with Interest at 4 per cent
per annum compounded annually.

forpia, are quite upt to pick up grain

testinal truct."

Something to
Think About
by F. A. WALKER
THE
SPENDTHRIFTS f
ETERNAL MASTERS
TO CHOOSE the right color for a
sunset sky, or the exact tone for a
storming sea, flinging its foam against
rhe dripping rocks, is one of the many
perplexities of the earnest painter.
Living colors cannot be put on can
vas ut one stroke.
The tints, shades, lights and sha
dows composing them must be "cod
dled" and worked In until they meet
and blend In natural harmony, and
make a perfect whole, otherwise they
lack sincerity and fall short of truth.
To arouse admiration and hold It,
the gold and purple of the west must
Hash, glint and shine; the grays,
greens, whites and umbers of the
ocean and cliffs must sing their
diapason notes in tune with Neptune's
roaring voice.
To paint the truth, the artist must
paint truthfully.
He must at every stroke of his
brush hold to sincerity.
A mere "daub" will not suffice for
the true painter. The picture over
which he works and ponders must be
n living, breathing offspring of Na
ture. It must be nn aesthetic creation of
exquisite benuty, showing In Its at
mosphere perspective and breadth,
holdness nnd delicacy of treatment.
An artist may spend a life time In
producing his masterpiece, just as a
musician may consume years In Com
posing an oratorio of stirring move
ments and entrancing changes of suf
ficient endurance to go singing and
dancing down the ages down to mil
lions of music lovers yet unhorn.
If we people of lesser gifts would
give our homely endeavors such devo
tion as the genius bestows upon his
we, too, would soon find ourselves ris
ing to fume and honor and riding
proudly on golden streams.
The young man In the field, at the
forge or beside the desk, with his fu
ture before him, lias within him the
power to shape his own destiny. It Is
for him to decide whether he shall be
a muster builder or a tinker.
If he holds to truth, loyalty fears
not to soil his hands In manual labor
Is putient, Industrious and accepts
advice In the spirit In which It Is
Klvpn, no opposing force can hold him
hack In the race. Knlth and Industry
are the eternal masters of Kate.

THE fools are not the ones who
haste
To spend what they possess,
The fools alone the ones who waste
Their hours In Idleness.
These are the spendthrifts: they who
throw
Away some wealth that now they
know,
Some golden wealth they might re
tain. Some weulth they never can regain.
These are the spendthrifts; they who
spend
The riches doubly dear.
Hie good opinion of a friend.
The love of some one near,
sotless life, an honored name.
Exchanged for folly, sold for shame
These are the fools, who throw
away
The simple things of every day.
Oh, better lose the gold you own
Than lose the hearts you hold;
The wealth for which a man is known
Is not his wealth of gold.
It Is the wealth you need not lose.
To keep forever, if you choose.
The faith of friend, the love of wife.
An honored name, a spotless life.
