All this offers seed for planting interesting spec- ‘tlation. Granting that the custom of taking home- ~-made movies of every wedding springs into use, “think what awful wallops can be delivered to hus- bandly or wifely self-esteem by hauling these films out of storage ten years or more after the cere- mony. Wives who wish, to torture their husbands tan bring out these reels and show them in front bf the neighbors. Husbands who wish to remind their better halves that they are becoming fat and ‘are losing their girlish figures can have their in- ning of fiendish revenge.

All in all, these reels would become a_ public menace, and might send even more distraught couples to the already groaning divorce mills. , Fortunately, films are inflammable, and in case it ‘“Bhould become necessary to destroy this vivid evi- _ dence of the one big mistake, it can be destroyed : by the application cf a good, dry, up-and-coming + Swedish, Japanese or American:match. £4 On the cther hand, think what fun the public at ; Jarge might now be having with the six-reel thrill- ter Peggy Hopkins Joyce could have furnished hal { she but started this wedding film habit in that none © too remote past when she first took up marriage as! } career and made it her life work. Trans-Atlantic Flight Beneiits What is the value of a trans-Atlantic airplane | flight? What is a successful flight worth to humanity? | ‘And, if it has value, what is the value of an un-| {successful flight—a flight such as Nungesser’s that) * ends in disaster? These are questions that many have been askin: | lately. | { It has been rather hard to reconcile the ques-| . tionable benefits with the great risks involved. Somehow, the price has seemed too great. It has made us feel that, after all, the game is hardly worth the candle. | Yet that feeling is a mistaken one. It is mistak-} fen, wholly aside from the lessons that each flight! ‘teaches aviation. } For bravery, even in this well-cushioned day and age, always has value. Hardly any price is too -fiigh to pay if we can realize, once more, that we -Btill breed men to whom life is something that may ibe risked cheerfully, nonchalantly, gallantly. } An aviator may take off from the midst of « ipheering multitude, head his plane out over, the Pe n, disappear in the mists and never be seen fs . He is, as we say, lost at sea. His flight 3 failed, and he has paid the great penalty. And it seems a terrible waste. But it is not. Dying, alone in the rolling At. Fiantie the lost airman has left something fully asj at as the memory of a completed flight. He given his life for no material gain. We will not be able to travel faster, get rich quicker or live +more easily because of what he did, but for a boon it is entirely spiritual, we have gained immeasur- ly. those who have found death a thing easy to face life a thing from which it is easy to part. ‘we—we who live comfortably home, shel» Fred from danger and alarms are the gainers. There is value in an ocean flight, py if it ends death. We are all better for it. And to the who risk their lives we might say, as makes Zarathustra say: “Thou hast made danger thy calling; and in jeraft flying back the ve | boy from Little Falls, Minn., out in the night on! | has not changed them. | He has refused to attend a bull fight. creed, may take pride. For it was through the generosity of a few Americans that the work of restoration was partially financed. Lucky? Aye, and Bold! Into the black night nine centuries ago a dragon | ship from the Norse country plowed the shroud of | | doubt from the, inscrutable Atlantic. . In the prow stood the fur-helmeted figure pf Leif, son of Eric, “Leif the Lucky.” The sea had flung to him its dare. He knew its strength—but he believed in himself, Courage kept his little band of men at the oars, straining their muscles to the joyous task of con- quering that unknown sea power. Into the waste of almost certain death they hauled. away, seeking | \ the unknown that their world might know it. ! They found America. Their journey across the uncharted sea in that strange shell seems incred- ible today If Leif Ericson could have looked up from his | queer craft the other day to see an even stranger | 'y way he had come, a grim smile surely would have flecked the corners of that} stern Norse mouth. | Here was Leif’s lesson of skill and courage in the face of death carried to the last degree. Another “Lucky” was soaring above, in the same | blind night, but with the same all-seeing eyes and|; the same red heart of his ancient countryman. This was “Lindbergh the Lucky,” a Scandinavian | i an eagle’s wings, hunting another world. There are two “Luckys.” Nine hundred years! & Nine hundred more will find the old daring still there, whether men shall / go down to the sea in ships, or over it, or under, {| Lucky? Aye! And bold! Facts Worth Knowing Science, which all too often concerns itself with matters of such great import that they do the av- erage run of human beings little good, now and then does happen to stumble into the realm of the commonplace and discover something worth discov ering. For instance, Mrs. Breta L. Greim, expert dietician, has just discovered that contented hus- bands are most easily obtained by feeding them} tomatoes, corn and peas, Under no condition| should husbands be fed heavy meat dishes, says Mrs. Greim. \ Now this is worth knowing. Good wives have been following the wrong course since time i memorial if Mrs. Greim knows whereof she. sp Too much emphasis has been placed on salve, soft soap, honeyed words, mince pie and beefsteak as/ husband food in the past, and this incorrect diet has no doubt been largely responsible for the ter- rible increase in divorces. By all means, bring on the tomatoes, corn and peas. Making It Pay Anncuncement that Major Dargue, commander of | the recent goodwill flight around South America, will accompany a business man,on a seven weeks’ tour, of the United States in the interest of South American commerce, shows that the government is awake to the possibilities of capitalizing on the recent flight. That trip was more than a gesture of military preparedness or an air reconnaisance of the tropics. It was a gesture of goodwill, and if it paved the way for increased commercial relations between the two Americas, as Major Dargue’s coming business trip would make it, the flight will prove itself to have been of immense value. Eddie in Bad That interesting young man, the Prince of Wales, is in bad again. Now his troubles arise in Spain. He has ig- nored Spanish beauties in order that he might dance with young women of England and. America. He attended a formal military review in golf pants. For high crimes such as these many a social climber has lost his head, but it is a fair wager | now that the good Prince Eddie will somehow man- age to survive. The business of royalty, like the | old gray mare, “ain’t what she used to be.” A Lesson For Home Admiral Latimer, commanding American forces in Nicaragua, has issued notice that disarmamen: | of all factions is necessary to restore peace in the! troubled Central American republic. Ten dollars will be paid for every firearm turned in. Isn’t it just too bad that some such simple meas- ure cannot be adopted here at home? Think what, a world of trouble would be saved could this dis- armament business be put to’ work on the gun-tot- ‘ng aristocracy of our all s00 efficient crime belts. | Editorial Comment A Language They Could Understand (Minneapolis Journal) Prison mutinies have. been quite the fashion of late. Uprisings largé and small have been at- tempted in penal institutions scattered through hali | a dozen states, Convicts have revolted because they did not like the grub served them, because they did not like the rules, because they did not like to work, sometimes because they simply did not like to be in prison. Time was when a criminal entering a peniten- tiary hardly expected to find the food,’ the sleep- ing accommodaticns, the rules, or the ccmpulsory labor altogether to his liking. But those days have long since passed. Today's convict has become as hard to please as a ten-dol- lar-a-day hotel guest. when he wants it. And if he doesn’t get it he starts or joins a mutiny. At least, sc it would seem, from the numerous reports of prison revolts that have come over the wires these last few!» months. At an Alabama prison camp, scene of a recen‘} uprising, there has just been tried out a rathe drastic remedy, the lash. Each one of fifty muti-| neers was flogged. Leaders suffered twenty-one lashes apiece; others from five to fifteen. That news will shock a great many persons, espe- cially those individuals: who are convinced a severe reprimand should be the extreme limit of disciplin- ary punishment inside prison walls. | course, the Alabama authorities, could. have an as crtaadle ba sot odie amygaly e.g An cyplady Or perhaps sit on ‘the dunce stool.

SCREEN STAR'S * ANSWER FILED | Chaplin Claima Wife Was Untrue — Denies Many. Charges Made By Her Los Angeles, Calif., June 2— (AP)—Charles Spencer Chaplin today filed his long delayed an- swer to Lita Grey Chaplin’s sen- sational divorce suit and not only denied all of the charges she made against him, but in a lengthy counter complaint accused her of infidelity, extravagance and ne- glect of her children. The film comedian declared his wife had associated over a long period of time with two other men, one an automobile salesman. He did not give the names. When he remonstrated against tl he said, Mrs. Chaplin asked him, “What are you going to do about it?”. “Crazy About Salesman” Friends told him, Chaplin sa‘d, we | that his wife openly said that she was “crazy about the autcmobile salesman.” His wife conceived the idea of a divorce, he set forth, asking him at one time what settlement he proposed to make. In his answer, Chaplin denied his wife’s hoa of cruelty and the accusation that he seduced her under promise of marriage. He further denied that he ever want- ed_to defer the marriage. The comedian said his wife. had told him long before the separa- tion last fall that she had made up her mind she was not in love with him. Brands Charges as False Chaplin further branded as false the statements in his wife’s com- plaint charging that he urged her to enter into other than proper marital relations with him. In answer to the wife's charges that he did not take her to his friends, he sgid that during the first two months of their mar- riage he entertained her in divers ways, escorting “her. to places of amusement, friends’ houses and cther places. Legality of Pay Raise For Ingstad Being Questioned Request for an opinion as to the legality of the highway commission's @» fd action in increasing the salary of Fred B. Ingstad, state automobile ) registrar, from $2,400 to $3,000 a year has ‘been presented to Attorney General George F. Shafer by State Auditor John Steen. Steen’s actio is based on the fact that the legislature appropriated only $2,400 for Ingstad’s salury. One effect of the request will be to determine what latitude is allowed the highway commission. under the highway department reorganization bill passed at the last session. This 1 bill gave the highway commission in- creased powers in the mai gement of highway affairs. The state regis- ) tzar works under the supervision of the highway commission. The attorney general's opinion is not expected for several days.
