“Se Pe Lf vemos samaun THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, JULY 11, 1929 By RODNEY DUTCHER (NEA Service Writer) Washington, July 11.—Washington is ready to entertain Premier Ramsay MacDonald of England on short no- tice, for Washington has entertained notables before. ‘Theoretically, MacDonald will rank no higher as an official visitor than the prime minister of Lithuania or Abyssinia. Actually, of course, the significance of his visit and the im- portance of Great Britain in our for- eign affairs will make his presence of unprecedented official and popular interest. MacDonald is expected this summer. He probably will sail on one of the fF larger British liners, rather than on @ warship such as President Hoover used for his goodwill tour of Latin America. The state department will cooper- ate with the British embassy—which of course, will be made cognizant of MacDonald’s wishes—in staging the, visit. A high official of the depar'! cial may be Undersecretary of State Joseph P. Cotton or it may be Sec- retary of State Stimson, himself. More likely, though, it will be William R Castle, assistant undersecretary in charge of western European ‘When Queen Marie of Rumania she was met by Undersecreta Butler Wright. Whoever it is will accompany the premier to Washington, after the whoopee New York probably will make over him at the Battery and at City Hall. The secretary of state will meet him at the railroad station here ‘nd accompany him to the British embassy, where MacDonald is prac- | tically certain to stay while in Wash-! ington. At this point the visit be- comes officially recognized. If the prime minister reaches Washington before late afternoon he will be received almost immediately by President Hoover at the white house, Tf he arrives subsequently this will be delayed until morning. After leaving the white house Mac- Donald will call on the secretary of state at the state department. Secre- tary Stimson will then call on Mac- Donald at the emb: . returning both the call on himself and that on the president President Hoover will undoubtedly invite the premier either to an of- ficial dinner or an official luncheon Secretary Stimson will then provide another official meal and Sir Esme ard, the British ambassador, will another large party at the em- by way of returning the com- ment These three affairs will be large and formal and guests will include Chief Justice Taft, the cabinet_ mem- nd other high government of- The British ambassador. of ould be a guest at the Hoo- ver and Stimson meals. The embassy is receiving numerous requests for MacDonald's presence at all sorts of banquets, meetings and celebrations. MacDonald sdoubtless will accept two or three of these, al- though he is not likely to remain in this country for more than ten days. While he is in Washington he will his heart-to-heart talk with nt Hoover on the international b Pre: situation, and for this purpose it may be that the president will arrange an intimate, luncheon. MacDonald's Washington stay probably will be a matter of three or four days, after which he will go to New York. If he consents to go to any other city the government will put every facility at his disposal. though detailed arrange- ments would be made through the embassy. If MacDonald comes while congress is in session he will be received of- ficially by both chambers. He may come with Premicr MacKenzie King of Canada, in which case the two premiers will go through the Wash- ington program together. Tony was not able. after all, to let! Sandy “take off” without her being as near to the plane as the watchful mechanics would permit. And so it was that, at three min- utes past nine on that Tuesday night in early December of 1928, Tony Tarver, Crystal Hathaway and Colin Grant stood together, all with right hands outstretched waving a frantic goodbye to the young aviator whom the papers referred to lovingly as “Stanton’s Lindy.” Tony knew that she would never; forget the expression on the face of his passenger, work-bent, grief- stricken little old Mrs. Purvis, who was going to her dying son, by the} grace of God and Sandy Ross. When ‘the monoplane had taxied bumpingly across the field and then| a had risen slowly, lurching a little un- der its maximum load of gasoline, Crystal spoke: “Don’t look like that. Tony! Don't | be afraid, darling: He'll come back— a hero—” “Of course!” Tony agreed passion- ately, then her marvelous control broke, and she burst into a storm of | ‘weeping. “Engaged?” Colin Grant asked in- terestedly, his duty to The Press up- in his mind. “No,” Tony answered, with techni-al truthfulness, for she knew how Sandy would loath the extra publicity which such an angle of the already sensa- | tional story would bring him. “He's— | just the closest and oldest friend I have in the world.” “Uh, hunh,” Colin agreed, his black eyes twinkling. “But don’t be afraid I won't give you away. Now let's, beat it, Crystal. et my shirt Hor- ton will want an extra on this. Best human interest story aviation has sprung on us since Lindbergh took the pneumonia serum to Floyd 3ennett Come along to the office with us, Miss Tarver, and give us some more in- | side dope on Ross and Bill Purvis. Crystal tells me the dying boy was a school chum of yours and Ross—” “No, I can’t!” Tony shook her head. It seemed to her she would go mad with joy and fear if she could not be alone to think, to relive every mo- ment of that incredibly precious good- bye. “I've got to hurry back to Mrs. Ross. I'm staying with her, you know. She has a sprained ankle and I'm keeping house for her. Good night, Mr. Grant. I'm so glad to have met you.” And she gave Crystal a mean- ingful glance, as if to tell her that she knew or suspected all that her chum had wanted to tell her that eve- ning. As Colin and Crystal were racing for the Press car, toward which the pho- med with their precious pictures of the take-off, another car arrived raucously upon the aviation field. “The boys from The Star!" Colin chuckled. ‘Thanks to you, Crystal, we've beat ‘em to it, and got the pictures, too, All they'll have to dress up their story will be morgue pictures of his Los Angeles altitude record flight. Good girl, Crystal!” Joy flooded Crystal's heart and made her pale face luminous. For- gotten, as if it had never existed, was the anger in which they had parted at, six o'clock that day, outside the door of Charlie's Coffee Pot. By se- curing a scoop for her paper she had gained immeasurably in Colin Grant's eyes, she knew. She was now “one of the bunch”— “Do you want me to go back to the office with you?” she panted, as she ran to keep up with him. “Back to the office?” Colin echoed incredulously. “Why, girl, you're go- | ing to do the big feature yarn on this | stunt.

When a young man, born to millions, uses the name of “Dan” in relationship with a family name, “Jones,” you have little trouble get- ting acquainted with him. Dan Jones, then, is the plunger; the ad- venturous-minded factor in the avia- tion concern which was first to link the coasts by air and train. He jumped into aviation just a few years ago. All about him were peo- ple going in for air development. He “got in” early. And he fairly bubbles with ideas of what the future holds. kk * Far below, acres of Kansas grain fields flow in green and yellow-green streams, like velvet covered rivers. .
