AR SUPREMACY - DRIVE LAUNCHED U, S. Aviation Interests Co- Ordinated in Effort to Promote Flying. A Nation-wide drive to restore the . United States to supremacy in avia- tion, including systematic assaults on the outstanding world flight records, i was formally launched yesterday by ¥ the National Aeronautic Association, American sport governing body for aviation and representative of the Federation Aeronautique Interna- * tionale. All aviation interests in the coun- try are being co-ordinated in a cam- paign to regain the world major air 7 records, promote air travel through- ; out the United States and increase public interest in the whole field of aeronautics through naticnal and local educational efforts, Senator William G. McAdoo of California, president of the association, explained. Records to Be Sought. More than a score of important . world airplane records can be re- turned to the United States with ex- isting equipment as soon as properly sponsored attempts can be arranged, it was predicted by the association's Contest Committee. May and June have been set as s the months for a combined assault on these records by private owners and airplane and engine manufacturers. “America’s position in world avia- * tion must and can be improved,” Senator McAdoo said. “At present we are a poor second among the nations of the world in the number of major airplane records held. Some experts rank us only fourth in mili- * tary aviation strength. “In commercial aviation our serv- ices, equipment and personnel will rank with any other services in the world, but the American public so far has failed to take full advantage of | our air transportation despite 15 years devoted to its organization and the millions of dollars which have < been poured out to maintain its effi- ciency.” For Militant Campaign. Senator McAdoo announced & *“militant campaign” to stir up the American public and to aid manufac- turers, flyers and aviation groups in building up American flying. capturing of world records is to be only a part of the program to build up the prestige of American planes and pilots and hold increase foreign sales of American aviation products, the Californian explainea. Doubling of the number of air pas- sengers during 1935 will be one of the goals of the campaign. Co-operation with schools and colleges in the estab- lishment of aviation courses, stimula- tion of model airplane building in junior schools and increased aeronau- tical engineering also will be under- | taken. The association also will sponsor international aviation contests, such as the projected race around South America and the United States next year, it was announced. PEACE ORGANIZATION FOR AMERICAS URGED 2 El Salvador Cites Need for Body | to Avoid Armed Conflict Between Nations. An organization able to take effec- tive steps to avoid armed conflict be- tween nations of the Americas is badly needed, Senor Hector David Castro, Minister from El Salvadore, said Monday night in an address un- der auspices of the George Washington * University Center of Inter-American + Studies. He said the Pan-American Union | is a splendid organization to promote | co-operation, but is expressly forbid- den to act in pelitical affairs. ‘The present good neighbor policy of the United States was praised by Dr. James Brown Scott, secretary of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, who contrasted it with the for- mer policy of intervention in the in- ternal affairs of Latin American coun- | tries. | ~HOTEL EHE skill of the Dodge chef puts new palate appeal into every item of the menu— from soup to service—and the service is as meticulously planned and supervised.

[ I “I tole you it twoundn't be manners,” Aunt Lou replied. “And enny ways how could I and your grandma and your Aunt Sarey get along without no little boy in the house?” “But I'd come back and visit you, often and often. Honest I would.” Aunt Lou explained that any one allowed the great privilege of entering heaven was never permitted to de- part. “’Cepting, a corse, the devil, and you know what happened to him.” Sitting at the kitchen table with his face cupped in his small hands, James decided after mature delib- eration that it would be impossible to go and live with his father and mother. Grandmother could not get along without him and he could not get along without grandmother. | But, being a little boy and an ! CHAPTER IIL JUDGE HOLCOMB.

Sud- in | denly his dead father sprang to life and pushed Lancelot off the ped- estal. James decided that he, too, would be a doctor. He tald Aunt Lou so and she admitted that doctoring, next to preachering, was the highest calling on earth. With Aunt Lou's assistance James worked out the belief that his father held the position of court physician extraordinary to the Lord God on high. They agreed, however, that his father doctor also took care of the sick angels in his spare moments and especially of the little boy angels who had eaten too much “embrosial” ice cream. James, however, found it wiser not to discuss the delightful state in which his father dwelt with his grand- mother and grandfather, or even with Aunt Sarah. Aunt Sarah was some- what shocked, feeling vaguely that it was irreligious, and his grand- mother cried a little when he men- tioned it to her. Even his grandfather, though he listened politely, changed the subject as soon as he decently could. Grand- father always changed the subject when father was mentioned by any one except grandmother.

But, in spite of all that was after- wards claimed for him, he was in no way an unusual child, except that he had a rather remarkable memory. He remembered people by name,’even if he had met them most casually, and could repeat quite long poems word for word after they had been read to him once or twice. However, he was only 7 or 8 and his gift of memory hardly remarked upon when Judge Holcomb made the flat statement that little James Stim- son was not only uncommonly and mightily gifted, but beyond the shaduw of a doubt one of those rare darlings of the gods, predestined by the Powers on High to great riches and sure and easy fame and success. Although the judge joked irrever- ently about the sainted dead, he was as one with the women in their interest in Dr. Jim's orphaned son. Indeed, the judge became so besotted that the story, probably entirely apocryphal, spread through New Con- cord that he had been in love with Molly Ewing Stimson. A more likely explanation is that the judge was meant to have at least a dozen children. As the ex-Gov- ernor's law partner he was often at the Stimsons and saw much of the little boy; the prodical affection that should have been scattered among a dozen centered on James. Most of the women accepted the judge’s pronouncements concerning the hope of the Stimsons without cavil or question. Not so Miss Julia Pratt, his great friend and near neighbor. Miss Julia gave it as her belief that the poor child was pur- sued by a jinx, losing his father and mother so early, and all. The judge pool-poohed this as the reasoning of a nftwit and entirely unworthy of Miss Julia’s not inconsiderable brain. “Well, killing off Molly and Jim may be your idea of luck or the dis- | mistake, pensation of a kindly and beneficent Providence, but I can't say it's mine,” sniffed Miss Julia, tartly. “That was pretty tough,” the judge conceded grudgingly, “but if you'd ever taken the trouble to glance in- side a book of history you'd know tbat those the gods love they first lick to a standstill. James got his lickings young . . . and without pain to himself, you'll notice. “And I take it that even you will admit that God Almighty saw to it that he was born a Stimson. No child could ask better luck than that. Now stop saying exactly the opposite of what you believe because I'm & man and you think its your bounden duty as a woman to annoy me.

I certainly drew in the knowledge with my mother's milk that there never was a woman born who could argue sensibly . . . without descending to personalities, but I had thought you were the ex- ception,” Miss Julia opened her mouth to speak 80 the Judge went on hastily. ‘To get back to cases.

None but a nincompoop would deny it.” Tomorrow, James makes an aus- picious debut. e Auto Total Mounts. Registration of new automobiles in Squth Africa last year was 58 per cent above that of 1933.
