Wages and Employment. By Arthur Briibana (Copyright, 1927, by New York Breillat Journal, Inc.) Hercules, looking down, ' or lip, from Klysinn fields on Sen- t utor Borah, must fo.cl that his hovculcnn labors wore child's piny.- Mr. Borah has under taken to enforce prohibition, and stop his Republican party's acceptance of slush funds for campaigns. lie even asks Re pnblicnns to return the couple yot hundred thousiid dollars con tributed by Mr. Sinclair, in rov ernmont bonds. Old-fashioned jiolticians will enjoy that joke. Many, including oil stock owners, would 'like to know ' what became of the two and a i half millions in bonds not ac- : counted for, in the interesting oil buying deal. What fund or pocket did those millions go to? - ' Voltaire annoyed aristocracy i in his time, by showing that the oldest title of nobility in En rope belonged to Venetians that fled to the marshes to escape punishment for crime. Kven the oldest human fam ily known, that of Confucius, with many descendants in one Chinese city, seems modern . compared with the crab family. , Dr. Oilmore, Smithsonian In stitute paleontologist, shows that the North Carolina sand , crab has relatives in the Ovand ; Canyon, dating back about 25, ,f 000,000 years. . ....

P) Thirty-four hours niter Ihe mono plant "Endeavour" took off in Eng land for America no word had come liom it und anxiety was growing. At 2 o'clock this afternoon avi ators believed there was still hope but acknowledged that the situa tion was grave and that the long silence might well be the result of mishap. The "Endeavour," piloted by Cap tain Walter Hinchcliffe, British ace, took off in England at 3:40 a. m. astern standard time, yesterday. Hlnchcliffe's companion was believ ed to be the Hon. Elsie MacKay, daughter of Lord Inchcape, and sponsor of the expedition. Additional information strength ened the belief that Miss MacKay was on board the "Endeavour" was prevalent today when it was found that Miss MacKay obtained nn American visa some weeks ago. Hinchcliffe already has an Ameri can visa. NEW YORK. Mar. 1 L (P) Cap tain Walter Hinchltt'fe's plane "En dcavoiir,".ln which he left Cran well, England, yesterday morning presumably with Honorable Elsie MacKay as a passenger for Amer ica, was unreported this forenoon, although If all had gone well he should have been off the Nova Sco tia const. Thirty hours after the war ace had left English shores no ships be yond European waters had reported sihtiuK him and the big wireless stations along the const were like wise silent. The last positive news of the plane reported It off the Irish const yesterday. His minimum average speed, un less great storm were encountered, was estimated nt about $0 miles an hour. The "Endeavour," provided It followed the great circle course, would have covered 2100 miles at about 9:45 a. m. and should have been in the vicinity of Nova Scotia. The plane was capable of greyer speed under favorable con ditions.
