Boston Paper Puts Crime News ‘Inside’ Boston, Dec. 24—(P)—For the fourth successive year the Boston Traveller appeared on the day be- fore Christmas without a word of crime or disaster news on its first page. The newspaper proceeded on the theory that “the big news today is Christmas,” and that everything else should be subordinated to it. “Christmas Crowds Fill City’s Streets,” was the headline across the top of the front page.

Puncture Makes Inn Favorite of Bankers Saint Paul, France, Dec. 24.—(?) Two years ago the keeper of the Golden Dove inn despaired because none came to try his Provencal kitchen or taste his rare wines, Then one day the motor car of Benjamin Strong, governor of the United States federal reserve bank, punctured a tire in front of the hostelry. The gates to wealth were opened. Strong returned to dine each night for several weeks, bring- ing first Montague Norman, gov- ernor of the Bank of England, and then Andrew Mellon, secretary of the treasury for the United States. Now many noted bankers dine there, signing in a special book, and the inn taken on an impos- ing air. But s remain at the same low-level as when Benjamin Strong first stopped there by force of circumstances to dine.

British Flyers’ Fall Thrills Tiny Villag Sommerberg, Upper Austria— (AP)—Aviation provides thrills for hamlets which are leagues out of touch with\ the world of dare- and-do. The same kind of a sur- prise that came to Ver-Sur-Mer, French fishing village, when Com- mander Byrd and his ¢rew landed there after their trans-atlantic flight, came to Sommerberg when the British Hawker-Horseley bomber bound for British India in a non-stop flight flopped into the Danube re- cently. 5 Nobody in the village had the slightest knowledge that an airplane was in the vicinity.

Air Corps Adopts Business Methods Washington, Dec. 24,—(#)—The Army Air Corps, newes of the nation’s military organization, is adapting the methods of gréat in- dustrial establishments to _ its peculiar requirements. Although it is manned largely by youthful offi- cers, it is not going about this business with Vested impetuosity, but vis accumulating facts deliber- and thoroughly and basing its ae, “{methods upon them. Through the Inspection Division, created this year with Maj. F. L. Martin at its head, a system. of scientific management is being in- troduced in all of the flying fields, in recognition of the industrial as well as the military aspect of their function. The commander of each field is responsible-for the conduct of ‘a unit representing a tremend- ous outlay of money, more in many cases than is required to equip a regiment of infantry. Under the ‘ic management system, he v re at his disposal at all times a comprehensive, easily un. derstood, current record of all in- formation needed for his guidance. Standard practices will be worked out, lost motion will be curtailed, and through ‘«reater efficiency losses of life and material will be reduced. ,Charts and records have been de- vised which cover every detail of each flying field’s work. It is pos- sible under the system to try out new \ideas as they spring up and, if they are proved generally satis- factory by the development section at Bolling field, to: apply them throughout the corps. In attacking the chief adminis- trative problem of the Air Corps, that of maintenance, the old de- pendence on memory has been elim- inated. Instead of placing on the mechanics the burden of remember- ing to check each of the numerous parts of the airplanes, he has a form to check against. When the pilo€ goes ¢o the plane, he is able from this record to determine ex- actly its condition. On the back of it he makes a flight record so that the mechanic may determine, with- out delay, what trouble it has de- veldped in the air. Current records of all accessories are similarly kept up, and graphs show flight records of machines and officers, while oil and gas consump- tion of each plane may be deter- mined individually and in compari- son. Few of the reperts are in- tended for the use of the inspection digision, most of them remaining at as fields for the commanding of- Icers.

The captain hailed her and 3a no reply. Boarding the vessel, ie found her crew gone, a hatch- way opened, a barrel of alcohol which had_ apparently been tam- pered with> a few spots of blood on the deck, and everything else in order. The log showed that the ship had sailed herself for ten days. * No trace of the crew was ever found, and for 55 years the mystery of the “Marie Celeste” has re- mained an unfathomable mystery. Now, under the title “A Great Sea Mystery,” J. G. Lockhart has offered in book form a solution of the quandary, based on his reading of official documents. khart believes that the “Ma- pony tumbled into the ship’s only i Possibly, Lockhart advances, the small boat was capsized in the hurry of launching, and the whole crew was dro’ .
