A. Allen, two men whose bravery outrode their judgment. They may be found, of course, but men most familiar with the ares |) where they may be located, if alive, say the chances are negligible. “) But human nature is a peculiar fining, particularly as we find it in ‘the adventurous heart. The failure | f Moyle and Allen will only spur ‘others on. The test of courage, nerve ‘nd machine will prove too alluring for some men to forego and so we shall see other attempts to cross the Pacific. Presumably, thé hazard of flymg the Pacific is no greater now than Sthat of spanning the Atlantic was 10 years ago. Improvements in the sta- bility and design of airplanes and engines should be great enough to compensate for the increased dis- ? made in the construction and use of avigation ~ instruments and other ids to successful long-distance flight. ae But, at best, the job of crossing ®ny ocean will remain a hazardous, one for a long time to come, even though the Atlantic has been crossed some dozen times this year. The Pacific presents the last great: ‘) Challenge. Moyle and Allen were the | first to take up the gauntlet. Many other brave souls will meet the same fate before the prize of a non-stop Crossing is achieved, but eventually ‘the trick will be turned. That is the ‘history. of man’s advance, even those who do try and fail & more than e little foolhardy.

He spent his life in pov- with relatives. When he died, at age of 78, he was said to be one of the wealthiest novelists in the world. His home was a castle. _ But these achievements alone are The important point is that his early literary works were ridiculed nd laughed at. He was openly de- tided. It took a great soul to tran- scend that. But his confidence did mot flinch. Nor his courage. He knew what he wanted to do and con- tinued in this faith until he achieved it. But the going was hard. He studied architecture. He ‘tried Journalism. Then he became secre- tary to Dante Gabriele Rossetti, the great poet-painter. This association fired him with the determination to carry on his fight fo recognition. ‘Then, he “arrived.” His first book, “The Shadow of Crime,” was still be- "ang widely read when his second, | .“Son of Hagar,” appeared. It was } - acclaimed, and widely distributed. His novels were adapted for the stage. Royalties poured in by the | © thousands. New stories, new novels, and new plays followed. Because of ‘the peculiar construction of his nov- els, they were easily dramatized. i ‘This continued throughout the rest - of his life. Today there are few per- sons who have not heard of Sir Hall Caine if they have not read him. ‘Whether his works will survive the of time is of little con<:- in this sense.

Society is skeptical of the man who lacks courage. The Days of Real Sport When Clinton H. Smith died in Fargo Wednesday night there passed from the scene a man whose early life was intimately connected with one of life's phases which is peculiar to every frontier. That is the love of sport which imbues men who have left home, family and- tradition be- hind to wander in a new land. Sporting blood runs high in adven- turers of the type who enjoy frontier life and hence we can well believe that huge rolls of money were bet on: the early horse races at Pargo. Some of the old-timers around 2.50/Bismarck easily can recall the day when table stakes—and big ones—| were the rule in local gambling, .00 | houses. Those of us who have remained, rather than move on to new fron- tiers, may lack the daring and the insouciance which marked some of the pioneers but we generally lead lives less trying to the heart and nerves. The gamblers and the so-called sports of the early times were not truly the pioneers of this state. The men and women whom we think of @s such were sober, hard-working, God-fearing people, even though the gambler and the “tin-horn” ' were Prominent features of the early-day landscape. Horseshoer Smith’s recollections of the touts of those days serve also to recall that the species is not wholly extinct in this year of grace and in our ‘own neighborhood. Great Service Well Done ‘Two Chicago men, mail carriers for 40 years, and intimate friends, retired from service on pensions tite. other day. Each one had walked 120,000 miles, according to an estimate. Through snow and sleet and. rain, or under burning July suns, Henry Serenson and Charles M. Nelson, both 63 years old, have been faithful to their service. They had a trust to perform. People’s secrets, their hopes and joys and sorrows, were enclosed in the envelopes that these two men carried, and they were true to their task. The two mail carriers merely did their duty of course.

Years agone, when the Bow- ery was the Bowery, and when Hell's Kitchen earned its name, when the Eest Side was scattered with tough groups, there was a sort of pride in gang fellowship. The Bowery gents were out-and-out toughs, ready for a good old-fash- joned brawl and zestful to swing clubs, fists or bricks in the direction of cops or lads of other gangs. There were criminal mobs and mobs that were merely rough - tough - and - drunk- en, The criminal groups were assigned territories in which they had first rights on the privilege of picking easy to label, By DR.

History has proved, over and over again, that people have a desire to congregate. The scriptural injunc- tion which said that man cannot live by bread alone still holds true. He needs companionship, and an inter- est in something that is larger than the scope of his immediate personal activities. Editorial Comment Editorials printed below show the trend of thought by other editors. ‘They are published without rd to whether they agree or disagree with The Tribu: policies, The Chinese Call to Canada (Winnipeg Evening Tribune) By eing to accept half of it in flour, by agresing to employ United States vessels in transporting it, and by agreeing to pay a portion of the ost each year for three years, the government of China has secured 15,- 000,000 bushels of wheat from the United States farm board at market prices on credit. The Chinese people are in distress. The United States governent has driven a bargain. ° That is business. ‘This situation in China calls to Canada for something more than a business outlook. It is a call to hu-| manity. ‘ ‘What has happened in China, and what threatens, is perhaps the great- est cataclysm the world has ever known. Fifty millions of Chinese, according to the president of China, are on the verge of starvation. Hun- dreds of thousands have already died from hunger and exposure. Millions are homeless now, and millions more will be. The Tribune's suggestion is that the government of Canada, on behalf of the whole people, send five million’ bushels of wheat or its equivalent in flour to the people of China to aid them in their sore distress. If nec- essary, Canada can contribute also the transport and engineering serv- ices necessary to see that this food— the cheapest and best food in the world—reaches those who are in dire need of it. This is not business. It is simply answering the call of humanity. In no other way can Canada con- tribute so speedily and effectively to} the relief of the millions who face starvation. Private agencies und will do their part later.

Mark did not even glance toward Norma, “Nothing’s so important tonight it can’t wait. I tell you I'm. dog: tired!” ‘The girl had not moved from where she stood. She seemed about to speak, then her lips tightened. Automatically she folded and un-" folded an end of ribbon on her dress. Suddenly, impetuously she rushed to Mark and put a hand on each of his arms, 4 “Oh, Mark! she cried. “Do you really love me? I mean more than anyone else?

S= was not awake when he left next morning. Accustomed to sleeping late since their arrival in Blue Springs, it was after 10 o'clock before Norma sat up in bed and rubbed her eyes. Rumpled pil- lows beside her told their story. Mark had gone to keep, bis appoint- ment at the golf course. ‘The girl arose and dressed slowly. She did npt even bother to gq downstairs 'to ‘breakfast, , Just before noon there was a tele phone call, Mark’s voice came over the wire saying he would meet her for lunch at one: ‘Yés, they’d been around the course but it was going to take a while to clean up and get back to the Inn. : Norma was looking very attrac- tive and very sweet when she met him in the lobby. She wore her gray traveling suit with gray pumps and the saucy, tip-tilting hat that had come from Fanchon’s. With Mark was Clint Halloran, one of the members of the four: some. Until two days before Mark had never seen Halloran. Now ap- parently they were the best of friends, Mark introduced his bride and the three went in to luncheon. to- gether. At the table the talk was all ‘of golf. Halloran was amazed to hear Norma did not play. “You'll have to have lessons,” he assured her, “It’s a great game. Nothing like it! Golf keeps you fit.” That, so Norma had noticed, was the favorite argument of devotees of half @ dosen sports, Men and women told her they played tennis, golf, polo, rode horseback and swam “to keep fit.” To keep fit for what? she might have asked since Rone of them seemed to have any were iente—?” Norma did not hear the reat.

Those with plans for an active afternoon had disap- peared. Others were reading or resting. Norma’ ished. With Mark beside her every- thing was as it should be. “Feel like strolling over town?” he asked. “There's nothing to do around here.” Norma agreed. As she swung into step beside him she said, “You know, Mark, we've been married almost two weeks and you haven't really told me about your family. Those about to Mr. Halloran were all strangers to me. All I know is that you have a mother and father and aister—" “Well, you married me—not the family, Qh, they're all right as families go, I auppose! What is i “Tell me about your mother.” ‘Three fine creases appeared be- tween Mark’s eyes. “I thought I'd have a letter from her by this occupation other then their endless games, Perhaps the girl was envious be- se Halloran and thé other golfers had kept Mark from her for two entire half days. At any rate as the luncheon progressed she de- cided she did not like Clint Hal- loran, Mark, on the contrary, seemed to. find him most companionable. Halloran knew friends of Mark's, had been at school with Ted Pat- terson who, said Mark, was his closest friend. It seemed odd that Norma had never heard Patterson's name mentioned before. ‘The two men left golf to talk of other individuals who were un- known to her. As they talked even Mark seemed almost a stranger. He was discussing school pranks, sporting events, places and people who meant nothing to Norma. They were all familiar enough to Clint Halloran. Both men laughed fre- quently, Oh, they were baving great time! ‘Their table was the one Mark and Norma favored regularly—at the side of the dining room near the right wall. Sunlight and air reached them from south as well 8s east windows. Mark's chair stood so that his back was toward the center of the room. A shadow hovered over the table for an instant. Norma raised her eyes, nodded. “Who was that who just passed?” Mark wanted to know. é The girl's lids fluttered faintly. “Mr. Stone,” she said. “He's just come in to iunch.” ‘ Halloran turned his head. “Stone?” he repeated. be Heve I've met him.” d “He's from Marlboro,” Mark ¢z- plained. “Hollis Stone, Relative of mine in a way but we don't see much of him.

A Frenchman. The count and countess lived in a his- toric chateau where the plumbing and heating equipment were almost as antique and uncomfortable as the much admired . furnishings. Alicia was two years older than Mark, “That's another thing that burns me up!” he grumbled. “When Alicia and Jules were married Dad turned over $250,000 in cold cash for what they call a dowry. $250, 000! Say—what wouldn't we do with that?” “It's because dowries are the cus tom in Europe,” Norma told him. “and your parents must have liked the Count. You know what your Father thought about me!
