Smith shall, over all partisan op- position, be summoned to re- newed leadership it will not be by | reason of political or partisan su- periority, but because each has shown a clean personal life and pure. political probity.” el Paris Experiments TACOMA, Oct, 18.—Qov.

Finds Germany Kind To Women Lawyers!* PARIS, Oct. 18-—More court- esy is shown women lawyers in| European courts than they re- ceive in the United States says Miss Grace H. Brown, Detroit lawyer who pleaded a case for an exiled Armenian involving $600,000 before the Reparations Commission. She also hamdled a case in the London court. Women lawyers in Europe, Miss Brown finds, are not sub- jected to the petty annoyances which they occasionally undergo in courts of the United States. They enter upon their practice before the bar in Europe, she says, on an equal footing with their male colleagues.

GRAYSON Woman Flyer Postpones Her Flight to Copen- hagen from America OLD ORCHARD, Maine, Oct. 13.—A stiff northery wind and steadily falling rain, combined with thick weather and rough sea, caused postponement for an- other day of the projected Am- erieca to Copenhagen flight by Mrs. Francis Wilson Grayson.

ATLANTA, Ga., Oct. 11.—Inede- quate knowledge of atmospheric conditions over the ocean may be put down as one of the prineipal causes of fallure-in many of the long distance flight attempts of recent months, believed Lieut. William V. Davis, Jr., who navi- gated Art Goebel's “Woolaroe,” the .prize winning monoplane, in the Dole race from California to Hawalil. Conditions over the ocean are quite different from those found in land flying, he says, and de- mand quick and accurate action in control of the plane. Ocean flyers thus far also have taken oft without the important weather in- formation which comes from high altitude observations at sea, a guide long available to the land pilot. “rog prevans much of the time and storms arise suddenly over the ocean,” Davis explains. “It is not strange ir the least that a pilot who is expert in flying over land might find himself helpl at sea because of unfamiliarity with ocean atmospheric conditions. The matter of a pilot's judgment and ability in selecting the right altitude at which to fly under pre- vailing conditions ‘{s’' most import- or the British Isiands, depending/ ant. on weather and gasoline supply. ‘“To me, the other causes of fail- The alternate pilot is Wilmer|ure in these attempts were im- Stults, veteran aviator, and the navigator Is Bruce Goldsborough, who will radio.
