- PAGE EIGHT THE CASPER DAILY TRIBUNE Business railroad lines will have to be rad- ically altered. The plane will probably never * push the railroad as far into the economic background as the auto has the horse. There seems no immediate prospect of great freig! move- ments by air, although the present rate of progress in aeronautics leaves the layman gasping at the ties. But it is safe to say t in the not very distant future great transcontinental and trans- oceanic airplane expresses will cut possib »,~ down the traveling time of vast numbers of the public to about one- tenth, and at only a aslighly in- Addy an of Cc) RIPTION RATES Ry ¢ r or By Mail nclated Press Member of the A' If You Don’ r 16 n A paper will special mes juty to let the when your carrier THE CASPER TRIBUNE'S PROGRAM Irrigation project west of Cesper to be authorized and completed at once A complete and scientific zoning on park sy pools cluding swimm for the established ard as planned commissioners to nd return. ‘atrona county Wyoming freight rates for ky Mountain frequent train GOING TO THE SIX-DAY | DANCE? | It will not be before the | ever watchful promoters of sport- ing, semi-sorting and entertaining events lay violent hands on the en- durance dance craze and put on a “6-day dance” for admission price at some big auditorium, along the lines of the familiar six-day bicycle race” held annually in New York, Chicago and other big cities. Records have fallen with clock- like regularity in the past few weeks. Yesterday Miss Tessie Trilby, the light-footed and light- headed dancer of Oshkosh, Wis., breaks the best previous mark by| dancing 88 consecutive hours. To-| day Miss Shakka Shimmeigh, the Swedish exponent of the “Daunce,” who resides in Northern Minnesota, steps forth on a set of No. 9 Scan dinavian feet, ably supported by a pair of Steinway ankles, and shat- ters the record by seven hours, put- ting the world’s long distance danc- ing mark at 45 hours. Tomorrow and for the next few days Fedora} Footease of New York and Yonk-| ers, trips out indignantly and hangs up a new record with the brilliant performance of 68 hours elapsed time, wearing out nine young men partners in the process. Press dis- patches hail her as the new title| holder, and a great huzzahing goes| up from the dizzy onlookers. long The reason for distance dancing epidemic is hard to find, although the answer to how the| tgirls do it is not far to seek. They can wear out eight or ten partners tand dance continuously for two or| Ethree days because their heads are lighter than air, and buoyod up by| Dalloon-like brains the strain “their feet is correspondingly less. © Dancing is a delightful recreation sand a healthfu) exercise. But after ethe first six or eight hours it ceases | to be her and becomes another instance of how hard some persons will struggle to make the public think they are cuckoo. on| THE PROBLEM OF THE PLANE That the air will be the future medium for passenger travel, both on the long and short haul, is gen- erally conceded. Any discussion of to merge certain great must even problem of the plane. airs, notably the recent | ch creased cost. Indeed, it is reason- able to assume that because of the cost of rails, ties, roadbeds and the like, the air will one day be a cheaper, as well as a quicker and cleaner way to go from one place to another. Tra tinental travel will be cut to one-fifth of its present time. It will take the business man of 1940 about twenty-four hours to go from New York to San Francisco. The man who wants to cross the Pacific Ocean will soon do it in one- twentieth of the time it now takes. Brigadier General Mitchell, the U. S. Army aviation forces, has just announced that a passage should be made from New York to |Pekin by plane at a cost of $1,200. |The trip, he believes, will be made Your Tribune |in about four days of flying, going | by way of Alaska and Siberia. Travel today by railroad and boat is about half as expensive as this figure, but takes about ten times as long. It is bromidic, and not accurate, perhaps, to say that we are living in an age of miracles. In reality, the age of greatest miracles is just ahead of us. YOUNG MR. GARLAND | There are many things worse than inherited wealth, although many persons who have seen some sour examples of that type of young man will find this hard to be- lieve. But an excellent example is at hand in the case of Charles Gar- land of Boston. Young Mr. Garland will be re- membered as the theorist who a year or so ago refused a fortune of close to a million dollars, left to him in his father’s will He be-| lieved in the “back to the idea, which was well and good. did not believe in inherited wealth. | Which was also well and good, but unusual. He put away all these childish things, and went up on the ethical heights—or, rather, down on the practical flats of a Massachusetts farm, there to com- mune with his soul. About a year later young Mr. Garland of Boston got into a slight jam with the authorities over not supporting his wife, or having too many wives, or both. |that he bethought himself that his money might do good for others, if| = to aaye not for him—a fact which was vainly pointed out by many recog:| nized charitable organizations long| before. So he turned over some $800,000 to the American Fund for| Public Service, Inc., in which a lot of baked, half-baked and raw rad-| icals were banded together in the| fair name of “public service.” Samuel Gompers, head of the American Federation of Labor, has just taken occasion to attack the body, claiming that it is an organi- zation of about “fifty or more pac- ifist and revolutionary organiza- tions of a more or less extreme| France. the | en character.” Thus, he adds, revolutionary movement in Amer- ica, In addition to other large| finances has all the Garland wealth at its command.” It remains to be seen how much “good” can be accomplished with young Mr. Garland’s despised mon- ey. Not much, it seems likely. But lots of harm can be done with it yet; much more than young Mr. Garland |could do if he wasted it himself in| a prodigal existence. WELL DONE, MR.

April 17.—A representative of the United States Graves Registration department ar- rived in Gillette last week and in-| formed Mr. and Mrs, H. J. Cook,| parents of Carl J. Cook, deceased} veteran of the world war, that the body buried in the Gillette cemetery last year was not that of their si son, Carl, but was, through error, a soldier by the name of Smith. As near as can be explained, the| mistake occurred in taking the bod- les out of the temporary graveys in When the bodies were tak- up to be placed in the French cemeteries, the exchange in the bur {al papers was made. Smith's body was brought to Gillette last year | when it was supposed to be Privavte Cook's. Later the authorities in Chi cago discovered that the body sup- |posed to be Smith's measured five feet eleven and one-half inches in| |height whereas Smith himself was only five and one half feet tall. A | card was found in the pockets of Carl Cook, which proved an exchange of bodies had been made. Permission is now being secured | from the state authorities for the re moval of Smith's body from Gillette School Dance Ends in Court RAWLINS, Wyo., April 18.—There will be no more dancing in Beaver Creek school house, near Encamp- ment—that {s not unless the school board of School District No. 10 should reverse its position on this favorite | indoor pastim | | It appears that @ number of peo- | | ple in the Beaver Creek neighbor. | Hood wished to use the school house for dancing and that the majority of the board were not in favor of allow: ing the building to be used for such } Was seen to be a necessity, com-| |munism adapted its fearful and wonderful shape to fit the emer-| gency.
