STILL UP IN AIR
NEW YORK lP Officials of.
the Pullman Company probably'
would be surprised to leurn that '
their sleepers on one division of i
the Santa Fe are going off nights, j
like witches, to fly through tht(
hluckneAs of the night. i
At leu8t, testimony that the cars1
are doing this could be obtained;
from some of the novices who '
have made the transcontinental 1
nlr-roil journey on tKe line laid 1
out by Col. Charles A. Lindbergh.;
On that line a night on the
Santa Fe, going either eaat or
west, follows a full day in the
air. A first flight of short dura
tion may give thrills but a pro
longed flight has the effect on
the novice of making his mind
think he is still flying after he Is
back' on earth, just us a person
long at sea wulks with a rolling
gait even after Irtnding.
A recent passenger from Cali
fornia on the plane-train line, who
had never flown before, com
pleted his Tlrst day in the air, to
I'lovis, X. M-, with such complete
lack of discomfort that he com
plimented himself on the ease
with which he adapted himself to
the new mode of travel. But that
was before he rolled into his train
sleeper for the night jump to
Waynoka, Okla.
"1 was flying all night in my
Fleep," he told feilow passengers
the next morning. "Every time
" the train Jerked 1 fell about 1,000
feet and when it leaned on a
grade I executed a vertical bank
that would have won me a pilot's
Hoense from any Department of
Commerce Inspector. I liked fly
ing in n plane all right, but fly
ing In a train was not so good."
This passenger took to the air
again in the morning, however,
for another full day of actual fly
ing and by nightfall he had In
fact adapted himself to flying and
his second flight on the rails was
passed with 'oil due regard to the
law of gravitation.
Aviation officials believe that
these long flights on the trans
continental lines will do far more
toward making accustomed fliers
out of novices than any number
of short hops; even though they
may l-emporariiy have such triHi
results as making the passengers
feel as if they were still flying
after they come down.

Manchuria : Chinese keep out.
Hut 25,tit)0,Huo Chinese flaunted
the command. They push into
Manchuria at the rate of more
than a million per year.
Chinese gatherers of ginseng
root and falcon feuthers were ex
cepted from the Manchu emper
or's immigration tabu. That was
yea rs ago w h e n M a n oh u ria pro
duced only ginseng roots, falcon
feathers and Manchu soldiers.
China's Lumt of Pmml
"Today Manchuria is China's
golden land of promise." tiys a
bulletin from the Washington, .
t, headquarters of the National
Geographic society, on the scene
of Far East struggle.
"Today Manchuria rolls up more
than one-third of China's exports.
Ginseng and falcon feathers have
been burifd under mi annual
mountain of 5.F.O0.UO0 tons of sy
beans. More than half the rail
way mileage of China is in Man
churia. I (n iron, the chief port,
has risen from thirteenth to third
among Chinese ports. In 1!2S
Dairen handled S,n:t7,ooo long tons
of exports and Imports, a total
shipping greater in tonnage than
that of any American port ex
cept New York.
"Observers compare the Man
churinn migration to the western
march of Americans in the 'TO's
and 'SO's. Manchuria is as big as
Montana, North Dakota, Minne
sota and Wisconsin and has much
the same kind of country, llece
are the treeless plains of the Dn
kotas; lie re are Wisconsin's birch
and pine forests: here are moun
tains to stand in place of the
Rockies and the Klack Hilts;
here are the sod huts of home
steaders trailing new railway lines.
Chinese Immigrants Walk Along
I tall road
"P.ox cars drawn by Philadel
phia engines over Pittsburgh steel
rails are the covered wagons of
the immigrants. P.ut thousands
cannot pay $7 (Mexican) for a
railroad ticket. Father, mother
and children walk the ties north
and It is fioo miles to Harbin
where China's 'west' begins.
"Manchuria in terms of peopl
is not so pleasant to look upon
as Manchuria in terms of figures.
"The immigrant arrives at Dai
ren with his family on a steamer
packed tighter than an African
slave shipi He has left behind
the home and farm of his ances
tors, and what is more painful to
a Chinese, the graves of his an
cestors. In his old home he was
ordered by the government o
grow popples for opium. When
the crop was ripe the bandit-gov
ernment seized the crop as illegal
nnd confiscated his land for vio
lation of law. His son was forced
into the governor's army. Famine
threatened slow death. There was
one hope Manchuria.
Sell Children for Travel lnj? Fund
'He sold his eldest daughter 10
pay for passage $1 per person, on
a Japanese steamer. Wit h his
wizened old fnther mounted on his
shoulders, he fought his way on
board. They stood or squatted
throughout the voyage. There was
no room to lie down.
"A happy settlor lives 1!0 miles
f ro ni Ta o na n which t h e rail roa d
reaches t His last year. His one
room house, half sunk in the
ground, has gaoliang (sorghum
stalks) sides covered with mud and

Mowing out of Mongolia. He has
to sell his bean crop for depre
ciated currency, liut he and his
family have beans to eat. He was
able to pay -the railroad a little ,
tut the land he took from them.
The summer is short and ho dreads
tin winter. In January it often
goes 50 below zero. Still Man-'
churia Is paradise compared with j
famine-ridden, -'tax-ridden, bandit - '
scoucged Shantung. '
"The next 'Manchurlan' en
countered is a girl whose flaxen
hair is bound by a eiirf. On a
back street of Harbin she cleans
the windows of a Chinese house :
This girl is the Hussfan wife of s
black -haired Chinese. With the I
nwipe of her cloth she has created ;
a. greater revolution in the Orient ;
than all the Chinese armies of;

white men lost caste in China.
Harbin, with 140.0(10 Kussian rosi-1
dents, is the first white city in
the world to be run by yellow '
men.
"The last"' actor In the Man

Rumors about Chrysler's plans are flying thick and fast. The man in the street is saying,
"Chrysler has something up its sleeve" 5 5 Widespread gossip insists that Chrysler will
soon make an announcement fully as sensational as its dramatic debut of five years ago..
Everywhere you hear that Chrysler is going to write another thrilling page of automotive
history. The public, which has long expected the unexpected from Chrysler, is waiting
In anticipation 5 5 Chrysler greatly appreciates the splendid compliment expressed In
this nation-wide belief that tomething important impends that whatever Chrysler does it
of vital interest end tangible value to the motoring public. It is particularly gratifying
right now, in the face of the announcements recently made or promised by other
manufacturers, to have American motorists thus reiterate their implicit confidence in
Chrysler's ability to stay ahead and go even farther ahead ; The highest possible
tribute to Chrysler prestige is this fact that, after all, everybody is watching Chrysler.
