Unwillingly, he admitted he had made the same “There he goes!” exclaimed Som- crfield, dashing after a shadow. (Copyright, 1929, Wm.

It was sighted several hundred miles at sea and had been able to gain only an altitude of 300 feet. Dr. Kimball believes that most failures of ocean flights have been due to overloaded planes which could not gain sufficlent altitude to remain in the air. There never will be a single, defi- nite air route across the Atlantic, in his opinfon. Ocean planes may fly in one general direction, he said, but not on a set course like steam- ships. Pllots will be able to fly in one direction for a while, then in another, taking advantage of winds and dodging the storm areas, their flights radio-gulded by men like Dr. Kimball, JOBLESS ENG LISHMEN | ENVY WORKING GIRLS | LONDON, Aug. 14—7he “girl I left behind me” of the old wartime |song has become the “girl who got |there ahead of me” in these days |of peacetime unemployment. Such is the complaint voiced by many British ex-service men who, out of work and discouraged, see and hear and read about the grow- |ing army of women workers in Britain—most of them young wo- men of marriageable age. Right or wrong, these jobl men of 30 with the war years be- hind them feel there is a very real | connection between the number of | women workers in industry and the |size of the male army of unem- | ployed One field of wage-earning still is uncrowded with women—the field of domestic service. Maids and cooks are so far from being a drug on the market that they. actually are hard to find. And so some of the younger men are beginning to take what the girls will not have. They are working as houseboys and cooks, solving at the same time the bread-and-but- ter question for themselves and the “servant” problem for their employers. | Oddly enough, employment agen- cy executives say the masculine do- mestic workers are becoming more popular with those who have tried them than the parlor maids and other feminine help they used to have. Boys can be hired quite as cheap- ly as girls, it is explained, and: they stay longer. “Besides,” said one agency official, “they tidy, less opinionate efficient as girls.” The youth who enters domestis service usually aims to become a butler or a footman later on.
