THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, TUESDAY, MAY 28, 1929 mm -------- I CRSP ANE ECAR Solange Harper, who runs {the Crowsnest a lunchroom at | the Mineola, flying tield, is ( dedply interested in plans of br two friends, Jerry Corbett and Fred France. They are both pilots and are going to attempt a nonstop ht to South America. Fred is to act as navigator, He. is in love with So-§o. Unfortunately, So- #0 is in love and has been for years with Jerry, who is en- gaged to Constahce Terry whose father is financing the flight. Only Fred suspects So-so's love for Jerry. Con- Stance has gone south for the winter and Freq has ered 16 teach So-s0 the art of navi- gation and instrument flying, | [4 pi r First Lesson 80-80 Wore a heavy woollen skirt and stockings, a sweater and a wind-breaker that afternoon, for phe knew it would bitter cold above the earth. Fred came In carrying pair of scarlet wool gauntiets that tretched to the elibow. "These aré for you," he said, tos- sing them on the counter of the Crowsnest. "They'll keep your paddies warm, wear them over your regular gloves." "How pretty they are!" So-80 ex- claimed. "Aren't I gay?" and she held up her arms, admiring the soaties mittens. "Am TI to keep them?" "Sure thing. You'll need them i2 you're going to stick to this nave igation business--it's going to take more than one flight, you know." "Are you really going to teach me the whole business, Fred?" "It you'll stick it out." It's the best way I can think of for having you with me for & couple of weeks." 80-80 made no comment. She had found that silences discouraged Fred's frequent proposals petter than anything else. He was always ready to argue with her, getting a kind of pleasure, it seemed, out of ner very refusals, They went out to the field where a two-seated bi- plane had been tuned up for them. "Some job getting the eld girl olng this afternoon," Fred said, ifting So-so into the cockpit and taking rather longer at it than was strictly necessary. There was room for two in the front of the plane and Fred seat- ed So-s0 At his side. "T'll work the controls and you read the fastru- ments. You keep this stiff pad on your lap, note as much as you can of weather conditions, speed, altit- ude, direction and so on. Here, I'll show you." He explained the earth induction compass, chief friend of <he long- distance flier, the barometer which registered atmosphére pressure, the speedomoter which would tell them constantly what mileage they wers making; the altimeter, which shows ed them how high they were flying: "When some bird works out aw instrument that will show how far we are from the surface of the earth or water, from any landing surface, that is, aviation's going to take a big leap forward," he said. "But I thought the altimeter showed how high you are." "It does, but that's only how high up In the air we are. We oe fy S-- OLDEN GIRL' By BARBARA WEBB might bs a thousand feet high, but it there was a two thousand feet mountain ahead and we were flying blind, we'd parge right into it". So-s0 nodded. "Let's go, I'll take a stab at remembering most of what you've told me. As I see it the navigator keeps a lookout and tells the pilot how and where to 80." "Righ. He has to be eyes and ears for the pilot, and in between timés work the radio if any, watch 'the chart of the course and see that they keep to it as mearly as pos- sible. Ready?" "All set." They taxied down the field, took off, and were soon in the air, eruis- ing over Long Island. 'Spread out that may of Long Island and sée if you can direct me so I'll make a cirenit of it," Fred shouted. "We'- re flying north now, toward Mon- tauk Point-- see if you can send me directly to it." 80-80 succeeded fairly well and when they came down an hour and a halt later she was thrilled with her experience. "1 believe I could learn to be & navigator Fred. I like it better than the actual flying." . "No reason why women should- n't find it the best part of aviation for them. The navigator doesn't have to know how to fly, though it's better if he does, then he can pihoh-hit in an emergency, Let's go tell Jerry about it." They found him in the hangar surveying the Golden Girl who was son to have her first coat of paint, "I'm going to sell the Crowsnest and take up navigation, Jerry," So- 80 greeted him. 'Stick to your hot-dogs, girl, The air's no place for a woman, unless she's a passenger." "Well, for heaven's sake Jerry, after you taught me to fly, and Con- stance and I don't know how many others, what makes you say that?" "Oh, it's #11 right for a novelty «~~but women haven't got enough strength, just sheer physical strength and endurance. I wish Connie would give it up." He look- e" # omily at 'he olden Girl. "Gosu, but I hate to think of the razkiag I'm going to get when they paint this thing the color of a ripe banana." . So-s0 laughed. "You'll like it, Jerry. You must have the blues today." "I have, Connie sent me a night letter asking me to hop down to Miami this week-end. She knows I can't leave things here, but I'll bet she'll be mad as a hornet when she gots my wire saying I can't come." So0-50 ¢aid nothing. She always felt a little uncomfortable in the présence of any kind of quarrel pet- ween Je:ry and Connie. "Snap out of it, Jerry," Fred advised. 'Look at what So-so did this aftervoon. She'll be pretty 00d after a while. If anything appéns tu you, So-s0 and I will take the Golden Girl down to Rio." Jerry muttered something that sounded like "I wish you would," and So-s0 laughed at him. "You touldn't pe blasted out of that pilot's seat," she said. Jerty's face cleared. "No, 1 eouldn't And I'm a wart on the face of the earth for grouching this way. Here, let's see those henstracks." He took the papers and studied ported with a mock salute. You cruisefl you? your them, "Not bad. around the Island, didn't Have any trouble getting bearings, So-s0?"" ! "We didn't hit any, fog, visibility was good, and the pilot made an excellent landing, sir," So-so re- Jerry laughed at her and handed her the chart, "Surprised you didn't decorate it with little doodads in each corn- er. You ought to get the lady somé pretty mauve paper, Jérry. Say---- speaking of paper, that reminds me, So-s0. The boys around the field say that some old bird that.look- ed like an escaped convict has héeén asking around here about your father's invention. The fellows didn't like his looks and chased him off without answering his questions. Do you know anything about it?" So0-s0 shook her head. "I packed all father's papers away after he died. I don't believe they were ahy good, but I couldn't bear to desired them. Some of them were date back in 1910, long before we came here. He hag one plan he worked over and over--there were nearly a hundred drawings of it, and he always believed that he would be successful some day." "It's probably some one he wroté to asking for advice or help," Jerry said, dismissing the subject. So- so went back to the Crowsnest and stayed until closing time. Chloe went home first and So-so was sur- prised to find lights blazing in eVery room of the cottage when she arrived about 9 o'clock. Chloe mét her at the door. There's been a funny-looking man here asking for you, Miss Sole ange. I found him waiting on the porch when I came up. I told him you was out, but he came back twice. "How do you ing,' Chloe?" "Oh kind of smooth and oily, tried to give me a dollah bill, but I shut the door in his face and told him to go along. Looked like poor white trash to me, then I lights all the lights so's he couldn't come creeping up when I wasn't looking" So-s0 laughed. "You have a powerful imagination, Chloe." Nevertheless she felt vaguely un- easy and recalled what Jerry had told her of the upleasant man at the landing field. "Suppose fathe er's plans should be worth somes thing after all, he surely spent enough time and money and energy' working on them." She decided to get them out and lok them .over again and was just starting to go upstairs when the door bell rang. Chloe went to an- swer it, saying prophetically over her shoulder, "I bet it's that snake. in-the-grass again, Miss So-so." It was a very corpulent snake-in- the-grass she ushered into the room and a very polite one. He bowed to So-so, including Chloe in the gesture and then said: "Is thie Miss Harper?" Yes". "I' wonder if you can tell me where I can find your father." "My father is dead." "I'm sorry, I didn't know. Per- haps you are really the person I want to see." * mean 'funny-look- (To be Contittued Tomorrow) STNYATSENBURIED INRIGH MAUSOLEUM Procession Starts 900 Mile March Under Guard of Armored Train Peping, May 27. -- Flickering torches kept the vigil of night for the boy of Sun Yat Sen, "father of the republic," which early yester- day morning, started its long jours ney from its temporary resting place near here for as tate funéral in its purple mountain tomb near Nanking. It was a strange procession which, soon after midnight, began to wind its way from the western hills over a specially built i1vau toward the ancient capital in the lowlands 20 miles away, whence it will go by a circuitous route to the $3,000,000 memorfal tomb near Nanking about 900 miles aay. Much of the colorfulness of the old imperial days was lacking in honoring the memory of China's first president, but there was still a certain picturesqueness in the midnight inauguration of a& page- ant. which has six full days to go to June 1 when Sun Yat Sen reach- es his final resting place. Funeral services prior to the de- parture from Piyunssu temple were held Saturday evening. They were attended only by the widow, Madame Sun Yat Sen, Sun Yat Sen's son, Sun Fo, minister of railways in the government which his father hélped to set up, and other immediate relatives. To the sound of a specially com- posed dirge, Sun Fo alone paid fin- al homage and after ceremonial bows, read a message on behalf of President Chiang Kai-Shek, re- jorting to the spirit of the dead leader the progress of the revoru- tion which he set in motion almost 20 years ago. i The mourning rites continued all B.C 4 JURY & LOVELL'S OPTICAL PARLORS J.

Owing to reports that Feng Yu- Halang. once known as the Chris- tian general and now in opposition to the Nanking goverment, might attempt to capture the body, an armored train will precede the funeral train, troop trains follow- ing. The Chinese Kuowen news agency stated that more than 30,- 000 soldiers have been sent to guard the Tientsin-Fukow railway line until the body passes, BABY RIDES ON RUNNING BOARD Three-year-old Bernard Bidwell recently enjoyed a three-mile ride on the running board of his fath- er's automobile. The boy crawled on to the vehicle unnoticed when his father started from their home at Wisbeck, England. While the father was howling along at 20 miles an hour a passing molorist called his attention to the child. "Mummie Daddy does drive rast. 1t was lovely," was Bernard's com- ment.

M First Place Is Easily Gained by Newspaper Pub- licity New York, May 28-Newspaper advertising influences a greater por- tion of the buying public than all other advertising media combined, ac- cordifig to a survey conducted by Dean Robert A. Johnson of the Col- lege of Business Administration, Mat- quette University. The survey which was conducted in Milwaukee consisted of interviews with approximately 300 persons of both sexes and of all ages and occu- pations, representing a typical cross section of American life. The results 'shows that the public regards newspaper advertising the un- disputed leader in effectiveness, with magazines second, billboards third, mail communications fourth and radio fifth. Car cards, motion pictures, hand bills and other media received scattering mention. Selecting the most influential ad- vertising medium, 144 persons nanied newspapers, 76 voted for magazines, 12 for direct advertising, 8 for bill boards, and 7 for radio. Asked to name the sccind most ef- fective medium, 97 voted for maga- zines, 64 for newspapers, 03 for bill boards, 20 for radio, and 16 for mail communications. The survey figures also reveal what MORRIS McINTOSH Aged 4, of Toronto, is probably Can- ada's youngest movie star, and is outshining Mary Pickford. Morris has just returned from the filming of his first picture, "The Girl of the Barge," for Universal, with ' Sally O'Neil 'and Jean Hersholt, this group thinks of advertising as 'it affects the quality price, production and selling costs and standards of liv- ing of the consumer. Advertising, in the opinion of 83 percent of those interviewed, is a dominant factor in American industry because it makes people work harder in order to get money to buy the things they see advertised. Fifty-five percent of those inter- viewed believe advertised goods are higher in price than unadvertised goods, but 86 per cent vote that ad- vertised products aré also higher in quality. Approximately 19 out of 20 of the buyers admit that advertising makes it easier for them to decide what they need, to improve their living standards, and to compare the goods offered both in price and quality be- fore buying. Seventy-two per cent vote that advertising has rendered the public a service by fixing a stand- ard price for widely sold articles in the public mind. CLANS BALDWIN MASCYERADING FOR ELECTIONS McDonald Would Publish Campaign Fund Sources Crewe, Cheshire, May 27. -- A challenge to employers and a de- sire to pass an act of parliament forcing political parties to disclose the sources of their funas were uttered by Rt. Hon. Ramsay Mac- Donald in a speech in this big railroad centre Friday. He had heard certain employers' organ- izations and leading individual em- ployers were threatening that if their employes voted for Labor they would lose their jobs, the La- bor leader said. "If the émployers, in order to get the safeguarding. . duties threaten their working people that unless they voté with thém they will lose their jobs I will challenge that as being illegitimate," Mr, MacDonald declared. "In this fight we are up against cash on the other two sides. I would like to pass an act of parliamént that every political party and oérganiz- ation taking part directly or in- directly in elections should régis- ter themselves and like the trade unions, should put in every year a full statement of income and eéx- penditure. "I would offer no limitation. All I would want to begin with would be to get the facts. I would liké to gét the source of the Liberal fund and the Conservative fund and to know how muclf money they are going to &pend by election day. Why, it would amazé you, A quarter of a million sterling would be far too short an esti- mate. NhTesé peoplée woh cannot stand another pénny in the pound of taxation can pay fire insurance by subséribing to the Tory party," he said in attacking employers. "It comes to this: 'If you give 3,000 WOMEN UP us & ten thousand pound Suwvscriy- tion we guarantee in our taxation and industrial legislation to give you the equivalent back," Mr, Mac- Donald gave as a hypothetical or Liberal promise. The Labor leader instanced Lord Melchet, the former Sir Alfrea Mond, president 6f Imperial Chem- fecal' Industries. Lord Melchett told the shareholders that the company, by reason of the opera- tions of the government's de-rat ing legislation, rémoving the bur- den of local taxation, had received a present of $1,000,000 a year. That represented a gift equal »0 $20,000,000 in captal, Mr. Mac- Donald added. Attacks Safeguarding - In attacking the safeguarding policy of Stanley Baldwin, the La- bor leader said: "I don't say the premier is trying to cheat you, but I do say he is masquerading in fancy dress and that dress was on- ly 'donned for the purpose of the general election. As soon as the elections are over the natural man will appear instead of the make-up man." Mr. MacDonald declared the causes of peace and free trade must go hand in hand if the coun- try is to remain in a prospeivus condition. The League ou: ma- tions: and especially an interna- tional labor office were essential parts of a commercial policy that NEW CHARM NEW STYLE {porirayedintheTitu ings newly arrive e, but with the same substantial quality that made these rings, or & generation, Amers ca's smartest and m. acceptable betrothal rings.
