BRHHLSONTY CANPRELLS HOPE Speed Monarch Puts Motor Triumph Second in A. A. A. Luncheon Address. A desire for greater unity between | the United States and Great Britain buns deeper in the heart of Sir Melcolm Campbell, noted British racer, than any hope of taking his Bluebird down the sands of Daytona Beach at 300 miles per hour. The quiet-spoken holder of all land speed records expressed this yester- day in an address before members of the local American Automobile Asso- ciation at a luncheon in the Willard Hotel. Campbell left for New York shortly after the luncheon, where he will sail tomorrow for London. “Only through a complete unity of friendship between these two great nations,* Campbell said, “can we ob- tain world peace that will be lasting. The English-speaking peoples must go hand in hand through the problems of the world. His Fondest Hope. “I hope for that unily more sin- cerely than anything else—far more than my cft-expressed wish to estab- | lish a 300-mile-per-hour record,” he| said. Sir Malcolm paid high tribute to the A. A. A and to E. H. Armstrong, mayor of Daytona Beach, who also was present at the luncheon. “It is difficult to find words to ex- press my deep gratitude to the people of Daytona Beach and Mayor Arm- strong, the A. A. A. and all my friends in America for the marvelous way they have treated me in my visits here,” the Britsher said. Grateful to AllL “The officials of the A. A. A. showed amazing efficiency during my speed trials, and I am deeply grateful to cvery one who helped.” During his | tecent trials at Daytona Sir Malcolm broke his 1933 record by traveling at | the rate of 276 miles per hour. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON; D. €, THURSDAY, MARCH 28, 1935. Washington Wayside Rafidom Observations of Interesting Events and Things. BIG-WIG PIG. WASHINGTON pig once slept in the White House. Quentin Roosevelt owned it, and after that one night, Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt put her foot down hard. Out it must go, so the boy took it to the pet store of his friend, Sdward S. Schmid. He ex- plained he nad paid $1 for it, and asked 25 cents vrofit Schmid agreed. Next morning, as a joke, Schmid put the-pig in his window with a placard which read: “This pig slept in the White House last night. Price, $3.50.” He hardly had the sign up when a customer rushed in and bought it. Many notables pay Schmid’'s pet store frequent visits, and the octo- genarian oroprietor recently received a letter from Mrs. Grace Coolidge, prom- ising his store would be near the top of her calliag list when next she comes to Washington. On the top floor of Schmid’s com- bination home and store is a tiny meeting hall. Here the walls are covered with a collection of auto- graphed ohotogravhs and letters from Presidents and other high officials. Next to a framed glass case, which | contains a cane presented to Schmid by Quenfin and Archie Roosevelt, is a letter from their father: “I shall never forget how all of the boys, especially Quentin, used to enjoy your store.” But it is about Quentin that most of Schmid’s stories are told. “He almost ‘ived here for a while,” he says. “He used to borrow my | birds and animals and keep them at the White House until he tired of them. Once he bad an armadillo crawling about the floors over there!” * Kk ¥ ¥ WASTE OF NATURE. HERE is a large clump of mistle- toe growing in a tree a few feet off the west side of Twelfth street, one block south of Constitu- tion avenue. Several thousand people walk nearly under it every day, but 50 far no couples have been seen tak- ing advantage of the osculatory in- vitation, even in the proper season. * k¥ % YOURS, “WITHOUT WAX.” HOMAS W. PYLE, principal of the Bethesda-Chevy Chase High School, wecasionally drops in on one class or another, to ask a ques- tion, or tell a story apropos of what- ever is being studied. Here is one he told a Latin class once to show the “HOTEL @ T I M ! s An Address that Places SQUARE" . 43rdSt.WestofBroadway ©f Things. New York Singles $2.00-$2.50 with ba! modern immortality of the dead language. When you close a letter with the phrase “sincerely yours,” what you are literally saying is “without wax yours.” The word “sincerely” is derived from the two Latin words, “sine,” meaning without, and “cera,” meaning wax. Mr. Plye says it was first used long age on_ furniture, to signify it was “sincerely” made without wax in Joints, and hence stronger. Another version of the story has it that an English nobleman used it first when he ran out of wax with which to seal a letter. * X X ¥ FLAG-POLIANA. N THE White House yard are three unusual flagpoles. Two are hinged at the base and can be lowered like tugboat smokestacks. The third one, tallest, works like a telescope and can be made any of three heights desired.

WASHINGTON woman who al- “Heavens, child,” was her shocked query, “are those the only shoes you have?” “Yes, but mama’ll hit the numbers game tomorrow and she’ll buy me a pair,” was the response that almost floored her. But ‘the Samaritan was not such sn optimist as to mama’s ability to “hit the numbers game,” and taking the youngster downtown she fitted { him out with shoes from her not-too- ample resources. * X ¥ X BACKING THE HOME TEAM.

We will have found economic recovery only when every one does his share. As we see it our duty is threefold: first to pro- vide the American farmer with a fair market for his crop; second to give employment to as many people as possible; and finally to supply a wholesome food at a low cost. When we introduced the original Corn Flakes nearly thirty years ago they were spontane- ously received. They were crisp and tasted good and they were ready to serve. Year by year we enlarged our factory, hired more wor,kers. bought more premium corn from the farmers. Two years before NRA we adopted a six- hour working day for our twenty-six hundred employees at good pay. This meant four shifts of six hours and enabled us to give employ- ment to twenty-five per cent more people than in pre-depression times. Kellogg’s Corn Flakes are enjoyed daily by millions of people—far more than any other ready-to-eat cereal on the market. We appre- ciate your preference and will try constantly to give you a better product at greater value. Today you get twice as much in Kellogg's at one-half the price you paid for corn flakes before the war, 1908 to 1914. Meanwhile both package and product have been steadily improved. Special processes— exclusively our own—keep Kellogg’s Corn Flakes oven-fresh and flavor-perfect right to your table. You can buy them at grocers any- where with full confidence in their guaranteed purity and quality. We make only one brand of Corn Flakes—, Kellogg's—in the red-and-green package. sk N Wosy OF BATTLE CREEK £ Get Protection, quickly and safely, with LA LASINE ... the DOUBLE-ACTION Antiseptic Persistent tainted breath is more than a social slip-up.
