Tower Bldg, ye, BURNS AND SMITH NEW YORE - - - - Fi Defying the Demons and the Gods Overhead the air dragons are roaring—and a!l the demons of darkness and the gods of the ripping winds cannct vanquish them. The men of the air mail must have hearts that are right. The stories of their recent exploits read like amazing chronicles that Jules Verne might have written had he been just a little more imaginative. It is black night in Iowa, After flying 200 miles through blank space, Paul Johnscn, pilot on the Kansas City-Chicago route, pauses to hunt for Fair- field, lowa. For half an hour he circles and dips and rockets around the town, peering into the void for the lights of land, trying to locate the new emer- gency landing field. Finally, he flies so low that the townsfolk hear him, They can’t help but hear him, since he nearly knocks the top off their nice courthouse. It re- mains for a farmer to save his life by building bon- fires around the field, so Johnson doesn't have to land on the courthouse after all. A night or so later, it is near zero in Chicag». Boreas is whipping the sky with the very worst he has. There are any number of plain pecple who Took out at that wind-torn night, shake their heads, and duck into the feathers. Not so the mail pilots. It is merely another flight for them. Merely another flight! But Pilst John F. Milatzo sees in the sky an cpportunity. He rides the blasts for a new record frcm Chicago to Cleveland, one hour and 59 minutes. It is cold in Cleveland, too, and Boreas has reached there, as well. But Pilot Harry A. Chand- ler hops off into the icy ord from Cleveland to New York, two hours and 21 minutes. —what are they compared to man? Old Laws of Living A great many people always are advancing the theory that the world is a much better place today than it ever wa: most of the front pages of the newspapers. By the same token, they always are running down the | about his primary campaign funds. middle ages, which they say were really the dark ages for man. But the more you study the thing, the | z2re convinced of the truth of this. Stri dence has just been brought to light by a French scholar. It seems that centuries ago the immortal Italian you French. He labeled them as barbarians. The most he would concede to them was that they were the gentlest of the world’s barbarians, The insult struck home, and one Frenchman, Jean de Hesdin, drew up a list of French merits which ran as follows: Temperance in food. Elegan in costume, Benevolent toleration, tleness in speech, In words—truth, In acts—loyalty. In the heart—fidelity. Energy in labor. Agility of body, Now the French of those d: all quite so perfect as that. perhaps, not No race ever was, But Kresge Bidg. ifth Ave. Bldg.

What are the new days doing now?” Then Mr. White lists Boy Scout clubs, town has- ketball teams, community skating rinks and gym- nasiums, all the taken-for-granted things that are done for boys today, contrasted with the old days when they “did the chores” and worked out their own play, somehow! He's right, too, and yet— Will tcday’s boy, when he’s a grown-up man, look back upen the “dear old days” with that tug at his heart that today's old fellow does when he remem- bers the old swimmin’ hole, and the haymow and the shack down in the woods—not organized com- munity fun, but of his own creation? Tite Precious Second Time flies, and men in their efforts to catch up. constantly must be on the watch for new devices, In Cleveland, the telephone >perators had been repeating the number after the person calling had given it. This repetition has been dropped, result- ing in a saving of one to three seconds on every cal] that comes through the exchange. When you figure that Cleveland's average calls per day are 930,000, you begin to realize how impor- tant a thing the second is. Editorial Comment Upsetting the Apple Cart (New York Times) It was hoped a few days ago by the regular Re- publicans of the senate that Governor Small of Illi- night for another new rec- nois would see the inexpediency of appointing Col- | onel Frank L Smith, and that the latter weuld see the inexpediency of accepting an appointment as‘| The demcens 0! darkness and the gods of the winds . essor t) the late Senator McKinley for the term ending March 3, 1927.

He is he is reported to believe that any cther appointee ing evi- than himself or his campaign manager “would work | against his chances in the seventh congress.” That sensitive plant, Len Small, expands to th occasion. Smith was “the choice of the votei eral tion. How about the primary election? Doubtless a great deal will be heard about the right of Illinois to be represented by two senators. That is subject to thé equal right of the senate to deter- mine the qualifications of its members, appointed or elected. Irrespective ef any suspicion of corrup- tion, that right is exercised ineonsistently. Thus in 1914 the senate refused to seat Frank B. Glass of Alabama, though an old law authorized the gover- |nor of Alabama to fill vacancies in the state offices. | So a senator is not a state officer.

Politics and the Farm Problem (Kansas City Star) The country is not interested in the farm problem as a political factor in furthering *the fortunes of any presidential aspirant. It is concerned with the | problem because cf its vital connection with na- | tional presperity. If Governor Lowden can help to | a soluti.n his advice should be welcomed by con- is that he says, if he had it all to do over again, he|gtess and the nation without regard to its effect would choose the same career he took up when he was young. “I would do exactly as I did originally,” he said. That is the thing for youth to look fcrward to in fits march along life’s path. If only, when age comes, the youth who is 20 today will not have to ook back and say, “If I only could do it over again!” all is well. Youth should travel ahead with a purpose in mind mever to do the things that age weuld look back upon in shame. That covers the field of advice. Classic and ) sidered as essential as it was a few decades ago. Scholars of an older day took their Latin and “It in no secret that classical education is not con- |on the campaign of 1928. The problem is one cf extraordinary complexity. The farmer is expected to produce more, than the immediate demands cf the world require, so as to insure against a shortage. But his production to a considersble extert is out $f his control and de- Pendent upon elimatic ccnditions. If conditions are favorable and he produces a bumper c@op the prices may be ruinously low. If they are unfavorable and there are crop failures in spots, then many farmers | suffer. There is a further difficulty inherent in agricul- ture. It is almost impossble to get concerted ac- tion from the millions of farmers who are raising any particular crop. Besides, whereas a manufac- turer gets rid cf his two heaviest costs when he closes his factory—his labor and his raw material— the overhead of the farmer goes on just the same, irrespective of the size of his crop.

For several days, as I plunged with the rest of the human ants through the clicking, whirling turn- stiles of the subway, I had noticed a languid group of workmen fixing .,a Christmas tree in the waiting room of one of the railroad s' tions. Now there is nothing quite so _im- personal as a railroad station. Per- haps the good folk of Hangtown Centers did find a certain social aspect in the depot, but even,there the strange traveling men brushed by impersonally. And in a Man- hattan station impersonality hes » hieh peak. The throngs brush and shove and disappear through the clicking gates or down the gaping stairway—streams of humans being swallowed and vanishing. Meanwhile in the great, warm vestibules men sit by the hour. Here is heat without cost. There is no mystery about these men. They are not waiting trains. [hey ure hiding out from the cold. Furtive- ly they will grab a newsnaner left behind by | some scurrying com- muter and will turn to the want- ads, They will scan these, but they will not move. ter a while a couple will go out und beg the price of coffee and come back.

Or perhaps from Maine. Tall, slender, young, tapering to the finest needle- point am its shaved tip thrust into the ceiling above.

At The Movies ~ CAPITOL, THEATRE Comedy comes into its own in the thrilling drama based on a dog’s life, “Wings of the Storm,” which is to be the feature fijm at the Capitol Theatre, for today, Wednesday and Thursday. Thunder, the sensational police dog featured in the film, is declared to te a remarkable performance. And, since the action of the story is based on the development of the dog, mentally and physically, from a weak- ling to a leader os his kind, Jovers of dumb animals and all others, for that .@| matter, have a real treat looming on the treatrical horizon. Scenically, too, the picture is a gorgeous thing. All of the exterior scenes were filmed in the region centering about Mount Rainier in Rainier National Park, Washington, one of the. most beautiful regions in the world. The human drama that runs con- currently with that of the dog's life is in the very capable hands of such well-known players as Vir- ginia Brown Faire, R Howes ang William Russel. PALACE MANDAN Excellent reports have been re- ceived on the vaudeville bill at the Pulace Thursday. Both quality and a good variety which balances the bill very nicely will make this very pleas- ing vaudeville entertainment for those who see it. Ray Marsh, billed as “America’s Foremost Xylophonist” is easily the best act of this kind so far offered. Dana & Mack appear- ing in “Bits of Vaudeville” are high: class talented people are really funny and can sing and dance. Ai- len’s Cheyenne Minstrels is an aggre- gation of Western entertainers who ‘Ride the range of mirth and mel- ody.” They use # special Western setting that adds greatly to their act. Clifford & Leslie are two boys who will present the kind of. clever jokes, fine singing and extraordinary dancing that brings down the house. ceeiae the bill are “Murray's Amer- ican Beauties” in “The ‘Aeme of In- telligence,”” Mr. Murray presenta collection of canine actors, eigh' in number, who entertain in plcasing fashion, Creighton H: fentured on the screen in “Speedin; th” and Harold Orvis Ross wilt ) his usual good music ut. the ELTINGE THRAT foie Eeaattins ett “Twinkleiaea ih seule in ‘Barde! ‘. which cements the nents for Thursday, F turday, Joh Gilbert Nas a eae will be an| everlasting delight to hi i Parr or abies [ sonally chosen the hero for the Hg | refuses to act on Mooney’s applica- | | Many of the conservative Nicara-| Las Perlas, are killed and balance ; captured by liberals, alleged to in-|, Winona—Cloudy, 2 below; ‘roads ident of the Minneapolis ‘Civic and!

Even compared to Gilbert's role in \“The Big Parade,” with its dusty marches, its shell-hole action and other hectic sequences, this part stands as the most active and color- ful of his career. He swims raging rivers on horseback, engages in fierce encounters with hordes of strenuous and determined enemies,~pole vaults over a line of charging spearsmen und scales walls of dizzying height. The loves scenes of the picture are fully as convincing. and moving a.

Eleanor Boardman as. the heroine is thoroughly acceptable, looking levery bit the kind of a girl for such {a heart-winner as Bardelys. Gilbert’s acting is of the smooth, restrained sort that makes the spec tators feel that they are witnessing the intimate developments of a genu- ine romance. | Temperature and | Road Conditions ! o——_ ———_____—_—_-# (Mercury readings at 7 8. m.)

Then wash them with white wine and plantan water and three or four drops of spirits of vittorell mixed with them and rub them well with a cloth.
