The Street Wakes Up.
Wingless Hens. More
Eggs.
They Bathe and Fly On
Britain Plans a Wall.
(Copyright by King Feature!
Syndicate. Ino.)
Wall Street awoke Friday
with a loud bnnn. Stocks went
tip from $2 to $20 and 5,00(1,000
shares were sold. The ticker,
with all its abbreviations and
improvements, fell behind IS
juimites.
If yon are planning to buy
any stocks, and you are sure
you can pay for them, better
buy them. They might go up.
If you are thinking of sell
ing short, belter postpone it.
Til is is real news. Dr. Ren
wnlil, poultry expert in Ne
braska, says he has produced
a breed of wingless bens, that
also lack toe nails.
They lay, but, can't fly, can't
scratch, can't be ardently in
terested in nuitberhood, having
no wings to shelter a brood.-
Such hens, being saved the
trouble of moulting the diffi
cult wing feathers, should go
on laying all year around, pro
ducing 300 eggs a year.
To separate female useful
ness from psychological dis
turbances like moulting would
be marvelous, in poultry, ami
among the primates.
In the air more than ten days
Jlendell and Heinbart, Califor
nia fliers, took a bath and he
gaifesterdiy vheir eleventh
day of non-stop flying, but fuel
failure forced them down ; in
the air 248 hours and 44 min
utes. A new world refueling
record.
They bad already beaten the
previous endurance reeorc) by
nearly 100 hours when they bl
gan their eleventh day in thp
air. '
For years and generations
American and Irish patriots
used to twist the Uritish lion's
tail. Until the big war it was
all full of knots. It has gradu
ally become untwisted recently
The shoe is on the other fool
now and . no less than Lord
lJeaverhrook promises to pull
the tail feathers from the Amer
ican eagle.
Lord Melchett, who seems to
be important, will help Beaver
brook to build a great tariff
wall around the British empire,
keeping out United States
goods.
; If it must he, it must be.
Goodbye, tail feathers.
Nevertheless, the British isl
ands CANNOT live on what
they produce. We CAM.
And with all their ingenuity,
some tilings our European bro
thers don't understand. One is
mass production. This country
makes 00 per cent of all auto
mobiles used in the world and
f)0 per cent of all the automo
biles used outside of the United
States.
As MV. Rogers might say:
"Laugh that off."
One hundred and twenty-five
years ago last Wednesday Alexan

The first trans-AtlaiUie air race
in history ended lief ore tin? con
testants rencheu the "first run."
Willi about HUM) miles of the
rout i" behind thorn last night, tin
French airmen, Coste and Hel-
lonte. turned hack at the Azores
for Paris. At the same time their
Polish rivals, Idzikowski nmt Ku-
hata, were experiencing serious
motor trouble in the same vicinity
and, in fact. logically might have
heeu considered already forced to
land at sea or upon one of the
cky inlets of the group,
bucking any official information
to explain Coste's abandonment of
the flight, the French government
assumed it to have been due to
bitterly- adverse weather condi
tions.
The Polish fliers reported their
misfortune to the steamship Na
renta at 2:36 p. m., EST., in a
message saying: "My motor has
trouble."
More than five hours later Hor
ta reported them as indicating an
urgent need for a landing loca
tion.
Following the Horta report "not
a, word came from any source, for
several hours.s
Aviation observers .deduced from
this that the Polish plane must
lhavc been forced down. If at
sea, it will be no new experience.
In August, 192K, (Using .the same
type of land plane, they came
down (i0 miles from ,the, const of
Portugal al ter turning back be
cause of a leaking oil feed line
near the Azores. They kept afloat
until a German- freighter picked
them up and said they owuld have
floated even longer.
(By the Associated Press)
One contestant in the world's
first air race across the Atlantic
turned hack to the starling post
last night and the other was re
ported . urgently desiring to land
in the Azores islands, near Horta.
The Ha vis agency in Paris an
nounced that Dieudonne Coste,
French ace, and his mechanic,
Hell onto, had turned hack to
France after reaching a point
north of the Azores last night.
A ra d f o m essage p 1 c k ed up a P
Horta, Azores islands, said the
Polish fliers, Idzikowski and Ku
bala, were only 50 kilometers
away and wanted to land.
No reasons were given why thp
friendly rivals had come to grief,
but the race was over as soon as
Coste decided to turn back.
PARIS, July 14. (Sunday) fP)
The Ha vis agency today reported
that the French aviator, Coste,
after reaching a point north of
jhe Azores islands about.!! p. m.
Saturday, turned back to France.
PARIS, July 14. (Sunday) WP)
The air ministry tonight received
a radiogram via Lisbon from the
French aviator Coste, stating that
he was returning to Le Hourget.
The message said "Returning Lc
Bourget. Started back ti:1 5 p. m.."
signed "Frans." The message was
confirmed by the steamer Guade
loupe, which sighted Costo at
7 p. m.

officials. The message directed
that no further action be taken in
the case, pending decision of the
attorney general's office in the
matter. H was indicated the trio
might be turned over to the Chi
nese government for prosecution
under the laws of thui country. A
decision was proniised for Monday.
Transfer of the charges from
the United States to the Chinese
courts would be a highly diplo

those best informed on the atti

it was assumed, it would satisfy
the San Francisco brunch of the

possible to make selections with
a view to the geogrnpblctil distri
bution of the hound's men.biH
because the new farm relief law
requires that e:ch of th tnijor
branches of afrlU'ture shall be

WHEAT TARIFF
WASHINGTON, July 13. (!')
A denial by Secretary Htimsoii of
published reports 1 hut Canudtt had
protested against provisions of the
house tariff bill prompted Chair
man Ilorah of the senate foreign
relations committee to declare to
day lie had "thought all along
that these supposed protests from
( 'unuthi originated in the United
States."
The formal Stlmson statement
had reference to reports that Ca
nadian Minister Massey had made
oral representations to the secre
tary regarding tiie proposed duties
on shingles. In tuber and feeder
cattle, and rumors that (Ji eat
Hr I ta in had threatened to Impose
a tariff on American wheut.
The reports pictured the admin
istration as being much concerned
over the p rot cuts and threuts.;.
"I wish to deny unequivocally,"
said M r. Ht imsou, "that any such
statement was made by the Ca
nadian minister or any representa
tive of the Canadian govern mnt
to mo or to any representative of
this government. ' ' "
"There has been absolutely no
such protest or therut or any men
tion of any such subject at all that
I know of, and I think t would
know of it if it had been made.
"I wish to emphasize this be
cause the Canadian government
has been most scrupulously cor
rect and careful In respect to any
comment on our tariff or tariff
