You can't fool with this pow
erful nation, and Elisa Valeria
will soon know it.
Klisa is lf months old. ller
mother died in the hospital at
Ellis Island, and the baby, "an
indigent immigrant," will be
shipped back to Portugal.
What will become of her
when she gets over there'
Who, will look lifter her on
the big ship President AYilsont
That's Elisa's business. She
shouldn't have come here with
her mother, who died in the
shadow of the Statue of Lib
erty. -M
The latest news from Europe
is that General Dawes, having
startled Britain by saying
"only water in my embassy,"
startles the natives again with
"I won't wear knee pants'' to
court or anywhere else.
Our sturdy American by
"pants" means breeches, the
kind that all ambassadors wear
when they see the king.
Dawe.s says, "You will see
me in my long pants, or not at
all."
That's the true democracy,
and besides a corncob pipe and
satin "knee pants'' with silk
Stockings don't go well to
gether.
The American tobacco indus
try produced more than eleven
billion cigarettes in May.
Some were toasted, some
hadn't a cough- in a carload,
some "satisfied," but all, as
youth and old age should re
member, can be overdone.
Ahmed Zogu, who recently
made himself king of Albania,
was proud of his ability to
smoke 150 cigarettes a day.
Now he isn't smoking. Throat
trouble has made him .dumb; he
can't speak. Doctors tell him
he probably has cancer from
smoke irritation.
Mild smoking, according to
the medical profession, does no
harm.
Hut remember the warning
above the Greek temple, "Me
den agan" (Shun excess).
If you have sound sleep do
not envy tiny mini his millions.

Crash of Endurance Plane
'The Answer' Kills Jack
Ashcraft Viola Gentry ;
Badly injured Wm. Ul
brich' Pilot of Rival Jen
sen Plane, Revealed As
Sweetheart.
I-OOH13VKLT F I K L D, N. Y.,
June 28. (P) TruKctly and ro
mance rode Hide by side today on
the whips of disaster that broke
in upon the friendly rivalry of a
race for a new endurance flight
record.
Throughout the night two planes
circled above the Long Island
fields, nnd then in the dawn one
crashed, and through the wreck
age there was visible the story of
an unguesscd romance.
In one of the planes, which went
up two nights ago. were Mr. and
Mrs. Martin Jensen and William
ribrlch, a professional pilot. In
the other was Viola Gentry and
Jack Ashcraft.
At 6:15 this morning the Ash-crnft-Ocntry
plane crashed into a
tree. Ashcraft was killed. Miss
('.entry, hysterical in the wreckage
and critically Injured, culled over
and over again for Bill I'lbrich.
It had been known she and I'lbrich
were close friends, Just as she was
a close friend of the Jensens, but
that the feeling between them was
more than that was not known
untll, believing herself at death's!
door, she prayed to have lilm with
her.
And then lUbrieh, who had seen
the other plane disappear in a
bank of clouds, effected communi
cation with the flying field office
by means of the radio telephone
in his plane. He was as hysterical
as Miss Gentry had been and he
pleaded and stormed and wept for
a true report on what had happen
ed to Miss (ientry.
Pilots at the field talked with
I'lbrich and finally to comfort him,
tnld him there had been an acci
dent and that Miss Centrv htid
hroken an arm. He was so dis
tracted they were afraid to tell of
multiple other breaks, of cruel lac
erations and of Internal Injuries
that had made hospital physicians
shake their heads and murmur of
"a 50-fiO chance."
I'lbrich was promised, to quiet
him. that a microphone would be
run directly to Miss Gentry's bed
side so that he might speak with
her. Preparations were made to
do this on the chance that in a
lucid interval the woman flyer
might be able to sity a word, per
ha ps h pr 1h st word, t o t he 11111 n
she continued to call for in her
semi-conscious moments.
I'lbrich lives near the flving
fields with his mother, and for sev
ernl months Miss Oentry hud been
staying with them. She and I'l
brich were often seen together, at
the fields and elsewhere, and they
were always "Bill" and "Viola" to
each other, but that was easily ac
counted for by the natural inti
macy of persons in the same haz
ardous profession.
I'ntil today, when the man and
woman called to each other across
the valley of the shadow of death,
not even their associates of the
flying field suspected that a ro
mance hail been blossoming in
their midst unseen.
Shortly before nonn fliers at the
fini.i i.nii....n.i . u . 1 , , ftione, woo is loumiei ihi in-m-rield
lielleved that a crucial point ., . ... u..i.... ...1
was arriving In the endurance
flluht of the three musketeers. The
wind had risen to 40 miles an hour
on the ground and at the height
the plane was flying it was about
."i5. Jensen dropped ll note tbut
he needed more gasoline.
Me was Instructed to fly out ovr
tho ocean, where It was hoped the
air would lie smoother, and Burgln
took off In tho refueling plane with
fuel and a day's supply of food.
I In a hich wind it was exnecleH
that the refuelling process, the
mere physical problem of joining
mo iwo planes with tile 611-foot
t-as hose, would be extremely dif
ficult and perhaps Impossible.
The refuelling over the ocean
was successfully completed, al
thoiiKh Hurgln said that tho two
planes were tossed nround by the
w ind like toy ha Moons.

METROPOLITAN AIRP OUT,
Los Angeles, Juno. JPf Less
than eight hours alter establishing
a new east -west transcontinental
non-stop flight record, Captain
Frank Hawks took off at 3:37:47
a. 111.. todiiy seeking to lower hts
mark of 18 hours, ill minutes, 5!t
seconds from hero to New York.
Hawks clipped 5 hours. 40 min
utes. 28 seconds from the previous
mark when ho .landed his Lock-
heed monoplane at 8:23:23 o'clock
last night, 10 hours, 10 minutes,
32 seconds after he took off. The
record had been held by Captain
C. B. D. Collyer nnd Harry
Tucker. A series of mishaps which
held him here more th'an seven
hours instead of an hour and a
half as he planned, made It im
possible for him to reach Hooso
velt Field on thfl"AtIantlo sea
board within the 36-hour limit he
had previously set for himself.
The flier announced before he
left that he hoped to reach New
York within 14 hours.
A crack ed st reH inline cow ling
on his plane's stabilizer and n
leaky carburetoii kept him impa

take him across the ooutinental

value In facilitating their move

Some travelers have described
such letters as "magic wands,"

even the nationals of other couu-

with Hussia are barred and In ob
taining privileges first refused

statement which termed today "a

allied contention that Germany
alone was responsible for tho

of which definitely bars the for
