More than 100 army airplanes will take part in the tournament, which will give eleven night performances. General Parker is planning to make the tournament the outstanding single feature of the' Washington Bicentennial celebration, in the United States. The army airplanes for the tournament will come from Self ridge Field Michigan; Scott Field, Illinois; Chanute Field, Illinois; Wright Field, Dayton, Ohio and Barksdale Field, Louisiana. Selfridge Field will send 79 pursuit planes, including four pursuit squadrons and group headquarters. Each squadron will have eighteen planes. The 18th, 27, 94th end36th Pursuit Squadrons, all Selfridge Field units, have bean selected to put on the major portion of the exhibition here. Eighty-five officers will come hete as pilots and 78 enlisted men, mostly mechanics, will be brought to Chicago to look after the planes. The army planes will be seen In formation flying every night. Scott Field will send the ISth Observation Squadron to Chicago for the tournament- It will consist of 12 planes. From Wright Field will como two planes for the famous 'looping comot" stunt that will thrill the The Silver Kiss 88 ; By Fannie Hurst (© by MoClure Newtpupw Syndicate.)

Strained waiting months of anxiety, mingled with hope; of terror, mitigated by prayer. And then one day, near Verdun, under an exploding shell, that as It fell lighted the countryside In a wide white grin, Myron Gil more, crouching for attack, felt the lower half of his face the spectators.

Some special types of new and experimental planes also are expected to be sent to the tournament from Wright Field. An added feature of the tournament air demonstration will be an army airship which will make a daily trip from Scott Field, Illinois, to Chicago and return. Scott Field also will send an observation balloon which will soar over the Soldier Field Stadium. The air demonstration is only one feature of the George Washington Bicentennial Military Tournament announced by General Parker. Regular Army troops from Fort Sheridan, Illinois, and other army posts in the corps area, will have an active part in the performance. The foreign language groups in Chicago are organizing now to take "in the tournament and one or more groups will be featured every night in their native pageantry. - The performance each night will be a tribute to George Washington, General Parker stated yesterday. Washington and his times will be featured in a series of brilliant and colorful tableaux. The Indian attack on Fort Dearborn will be enacted every night in the arena and a modem battle scene, the capture of Cantigny will be one of the most important contributions of the regular army troops taking part- Brigadier General Frank C. Bolles, commanding Fort Sheridan, will command the regulars, who will take part in the tournartient. Another mighty feature will be a splendid fireworks display. The George Washington Bicentennial Military Tournament, while essentially the army's contribution to the observance of the 200th birthday of George Washington, the army's first commander-in-chief, has been endorsed by Governor Emmerson, Mayor Cermak and the state and local bicentennial commissions, all of whom are aiding General Parker in planning the biggest celebration of its kind ever held here. Officials of the 1933 Century of Progress Exposition also are assisting General Parker in his plans. Proceeds from the sale of tickets for the tournament, General Parker said will go to charity. They will be divided equally between the Cook County Joint Emergency Relief Fund and the Army Relief Society, which looks after the widows and children of regular army personnel. 1-lb.

With more hitch-hikers reported on the highways this season than ever before, the Chicago Motor Club warns all motorists against the risks they run when they take strangers into their car. "While it is true that a certain percentage of those who solicit rides from the roadside are deserving, the fact ^remains that the motorist cannot distinguish between the man who is merely unfortunate and another who would not hesitate to draw a gun or other weapon and rob his benefactor of car and money, or, if resistance was offered, might readily kill his victim," pointed out Charles M. Hayes, president of the cluh. This picture is not overdrawn. Practically every police department in the country can produce records of robberies committed by hitch-hikers, and not a few can testify to murders of the modern Good Samaritans who picked them up. "Several state legislatures have taken legal cognizance of the evils of giving rides to hitch-bikers. Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Wisconsin and the District of Columbia have enacted laws prohibiting the solicitation of rides, and which provide drastic penalties In the event of violation. Some of those states and others have enacted' legislation which prevents {he hitch-hiker, and other passengers which in the light of the law might be construed as guests, from recovering damages from the car owner or driver in the event of accident, unless the accident was caused by deliberate act or wilful misconduct on the part of the owner. This law, known as the guest hazard law, has been adopted in California, Connecticut, Delaware, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oregon, South Carolina, Vermont and Wyoming." that brought about the wonders of a new science called plastic surgery had befallen Myron, tearing away part of the lower Jaw and mutilating, almost beyond recognition, th^ personable face of the young man who had bidden Laura Moore ,gfl>od-bfr. * Then the same old story. Mopth after month in one hospital after another, where from time to time the various experimental treatments were tried out. The wound had healed fair-. Iy well, but the great problem lay in restoration. Paraffin and silver had been tried for purposes of filling out the shot away Jaw and lower lip, but because of certain ligament difficulties, the substance would not hold and slowly but surely the Improvised structure of Myron's lower Jaw would begin to collapse, revealing the upper line of his side teeth. It made him rather horrible. Something like a skull-head, If yoti beheld him from the left, and as the months, dragged on, there developed In Myron, over this recurring tragedy of the exposed side of his face, a sensitiveness that was torture and torment. Day-j after day, he lny on his cot, face to waH, concealing from even his wardmates what he regarded as the horror of his countenance. Months since he had ceased replying to the eager Imploring letters that came from Laura. Then one day he resorted to a ruse. Two weeks' after the signing of the armistice, there went across seas a letter to Laura Moore bearing the tidings that Myron had died of a septic infection of the jaw. That somehow made things simpler; easier for Myron to bear. You could manage to go through life with a paraffin Jaw, If need to be, Just so long as you did not drag into the torment of your little hell, the lovely figure of the girl whose lips your own had pressed in ^romise-of bright days to come. It was at a hospital in Paris they finally succeeded In perfecting a lower jaw or silver and paraffin that held, firmly and except to Ihe closely observing, the face of Myron, with the exception of a rigidity which suggested partial paralysis, was not any too noticeably scarred. Of course It was obvious that' here was a face somehow not of normal cast, but It was not a countenance to cause one to recoil. In other words, but for the Inevitable handicap of such a defect, Moron's disability, except in his own consciousness, was not the calamity if had threatened to be. Pulling himself together and taking up the routine of life, there remained within him this one form of sensitiveness that was little short of mania. fie believed himself a horror in the eyes of man. Which he was not. He molded his life accordingly, finding himself a position In an English bank in the city of Paris and practically living the life of a recluse. It was too bad all the way around, not only because the obsession that his sliver lips would have been so ter ribly repellent to Laura, but because the further reduced his life to the narrow lusterless plane of an eccen trie. There where no mirrors In My ron's rooms; he allowed himself no social life; women were omitted from his scheme. At forty, skilled In a colloquial knowledge of the French language, an honor student at the Sorbonne and a graduate in French law, he had man aged to fill the wide empty niches In his life by qualifying himself for a professional career. It was remarkable in Its way, and created no small amount of comment. The idea of this American who called himself Myron Stewart, qualifying so brilliantly for the French bar, caugli' popular fancy. Americans, flocking brought him wide clientele and the* his success began. Meanwhile Laura, whose heart wait grave for him, had done the not un u.-ual thing.

One of those untimely deaths by motor car accident, of one of the thrlviBf and successful business men of the town. Out of a clear sky, a devastating bolt from the blue, and Laura at forty, childless, a widow. Inevitably, props thus knocked from under, she found herself following the nomadic trail of the widow. Her first trip abroad. In the company of a personally conducted group of Ave, landed her In Parts in April, th# perfect month of the Paris year. There were bitter memories In her heart for this city which she had never , seen; bitter memories all crowded around with the pain of her new grief. It was while she was standing alone one day before the perpetual flame on the grave of the Unknown Soldier at the head of the Champs Elysees, that glancing up, she found her eyes riveted to the gase of one who had evidently risen fmom the casket In her heart. He had not, though, because as she gazed, stealthily- be b*gan to move away and as one possessed, she began to push through a® traffic if |he Btolle after him.,...'-.;..,';' J v. "Who are you?"

High Ability Buffeted by Fortune When the papers announced the other day that a man named Leo Melanowski was living in the home of the Little Sisters of the Poor In a Middle West city, it didn't sound especially Interesting--unless you read on and learned about the man's background. For Melanowski was one of tjie bl$ men In the early days of the automobile' Industry. Three decades ago he wasr consiciered probably the best automotive engineer In the country. As a matter of fact, some men still feel that way about him. At one time Henry Ford asked him for a job. He guided the early development of the motor Industry; he once held five shares of Ford stock, which, if he had held on to It, would have netted him more than a mllUon and a half in cash in 1919. But today he lives in the home of the Little Sisters of the Poor; and the whole story emphasizes the prodigal way In which business, like life In general, uses human talent in order to get the results It wants. Melanowski Is not the only one of the early giants of the automobile trade to wind up in poverty. David Buick died almost penniless In Detroit a few years ago. R. C. Hupp, if not in poverty, was not among the mighty and the rich when he died. And the automobile business Is not the only business that has tales like that. Nearly every industry can duplicate them. Just why things like that should happen is not at all clear. No industry ever had a surplus of brains. The old saying, "There's always room at the top," Is perfectly true. A man of outstanding ability is always in demand. And yet--every now and then such a man of that kind gets absolutely nowhere. It is as If there were some hidden and inexplicable rule by which business must sacrifice, now and then, a keen brain to some invisible and maleflclent power.
