D—10 PLARE HISTESSES SAY 0B THRLLING They Deny That It’s Glam- orous, but Admit Many Proposals. 87 the Assoclated Press. NEWARK, N. J., August 7.—They're not the “super-gorgeous” girls some have called them, say the smartly frocked airplane hotesses, who look after the comforts of passengers on trips from coast to coast. It's & “thrilling” job, but “not glamorous,” they agree, Romance? ‘Well, the chances of bumping into Cupid while soaring through the sky are about the same as when riding a train or bus. All registered nurses, this corps of meticulously groomed young women. Besides their hospital training the air- lines require a personality that will keep travelers happy during flights from Newark to Chicago, Pittsburgh, Washington and points farther West or South. A hostess organizes a four of bridge, end she may sit in herself if a part- ner is needed. She hands out binocu- lars and points out spots of interest in the panorama of cities and farm land below. When it's time to eat she brings out prepared meals. And during the overnight transcontinental journeys she produces a shaving kit for men. With children becoming more fre- quent passengers, the hostess takes charge of junior, while mother re- laxes. Helping to make the job “thrilling” are the celebrities they meet, espe- ¢ially screen folk Jerry Kreis of United Airlines counted among her passengers Lupe Valez, Fay Wray, Douglas Fairbanks, sr.; the late Will Rogers and Helen Hayes. She “greatly missed” Amelia Earhart, whom she said all the host- esses “liked a lot.” “It's very romantic above the clouds ® * * with a full moon,” Miss Kreis eonfided, “We get proposals quite often.” But others looked on their duties s ‘“strictly business.” “We perform a dignified service,” #aid brown-haired Mary Todd of American Airlines. “We're not in the market, as many people believe.” Wedding bells rang last month for petite Rose Verga of Transcontinental and Western Airlines. She’ll quit the @ir to start housckeeping with her pilot-husband. Adalee McHenry of Peoria, Ill, steps to the altar next month—with a pilot. They don’t all marry pilots.

Even a policeman can get stung by not keeping his mouth shut, Police- man Jewell W. Carroll of the eighth precinct will readily testify. Cruising in a scout car in the 2600 block of Tilden street yesterday after- noon, Carroll opened up for a vigorous cough and closed down on a wasp. Finding itself trapped, the wasp imnediately went on the warpath and, before the officer could cough again, succeeded in covering much territory in its victim's mouth and throat with his stinger. After his “wounds” were treated, Carroll went back on duty—with his mouth shut. TWO POLICE, 3 MEN IN AUTO GUN BATTLE Chase Out of and Into Baltimore Fails as Officers Run Qut of Ammunition.
