The New Ocean Flights
Times may be hard and the attention of the nation
may be riveted on a red-hot political campaign; neverthe-
less in case you hadn’t noticed it you might as well wake
up to the fact that no fewer than six airplanes are now
poised at various spots ready to begin transatlantic flights.
The group includes one plane which aims to make a
flight from Oshkosh to Oslo and the alliterative qualities
of that itinerary ought to help us all to get through a
difficult summer.
Meanwhile however one wonders just where this
transatlantic flying craze is going to end. The ocean has
been flown already so many times that no one but a
statistician can possibly name all the successful ventures.
As far as the cause of aviation is concerned new flights
cannot do anything that hasn’t been done already.
It has been proved that a good plane and a good pilot
given a reasonable break in the luck can get across; it
has also been proved that the task is still a terrifying
risky one and that the day of regular commercial trans-
oceanic airplane lines is still quite a way off.
Furthermore the law of diminishing returns has set
in and more than one ocean flyer who was the hero of the
hour a year ago is wondering now where his next job is
coming from.
All of these things being so it is a bit hard to see why
the urge to fly the ocean persists; and the whole thing
can be understood only by remembering that the old urge
for adventure is just as strong now as it ever was.
Young men are turning to ocean flights these days
much as the English navigators of the days of Elizabeth
turned to the distant seas. There is a chance for fame
and fortune to be sure; but most powerful of all there is
the chance for adventure \he chance to test one’s mettle
in the race of great danger the chance to go roving alone
along uncharted paths. The race has not lost its desire for
nu«h things. Until it does ocean flights will be popular
with young men who don’t mind risking their lives for a
glimpse of a new horizon.
The Two-Thirds Rule
Now that the furore over the proposed abrogation of
the two-thirds rule in the Democratic convention has died
down it might be a good idea for the party leaders to get
together and consider abolishing the rule for the conven-
tion of 1936.
There is a good deal to be said on both sides in such
an argument. On the one hand there is the fact that a
relatively small faction can block the majority will in-
definitely under the two-thirds rule; on the other there is
the fact that such a rule prevents one section of the coun-
try from putting over a candidate without regard to pro*
tests from other sections.
Rut one thing is obvious; the time to debate changing
the rule is not at the beginning of a convention when the
delegates have all been chosen and committed to their
respective candidates. The job must be done well in ad-
vance. There is one point on which it is not too early to
begin looking ahead to 1936.

New York
Letter
Faroe Undying
NEW YORK— It was Johnnj
Solon's name which bobbed up
naturally enough in the conversa-
tion concerning the Democratic
party's repeal plank.
For Johnny Solon was inventor
of the Bronx cocktail a concoc-
tion mixed today with varying re-
sults all over the world. Solon
it seems was past master of mix-
ology in the days of the old Wal-
dorf bar. Until the creation of
this drink Solon was known chief-
ly for his mint juleps. Something
like one half-hour was spent on
each Julep.
• • •
And the "old timer" cogitating
on whether or not such days would
return recalled a certain afternoop
in the early nineteen-hundreds
Solon had recently returned from
the Spanish-Atnerican war He had
taken a job in a St Louis hotel
and had drifted Into New York
looking for work The only job open
at the Waldorf was at the bar.
Solon rose from an assistant to a
bar maestro.
• • •
How Come?
One day a head waiter hurried
in and went Into whispered con-
ference with Solon. It seemed there
was a very special customer who
had wearied of ihe drink routine
and had challenged the place to
produce a new one. Solon looked
about and. varying the ingredients
of the then popular Duplex hand-
ed It over. The head waiter tried
it. And then ordered a batch made
at once.
Within a week the word had
been whispered around town. The
rounders flocked in I<5r a trial.
And not so many months after-
ward the Duplex had begun to
slip out of favor. Johnny Solon
had won mixologica! fame.
• • •
Asked casually why he named
it the Bronx cocktail Johnny re-
plied: "Well they asked me to
call It something. And I had been
to the Bronx 700 the Sunday be-
fore And J had heard fellows talk
of all the animals you'd see If
vou mixed drinks. So I calls it the
Bronx!”
• • •
And since a considerable portion
of the population appears to have
become feverish on the wet-dry
question there may be some inter-
est In how the gin rlckey came
into existence.
There was a certain Col. Jim
Rickev. who was a well known
lobbyist at Washington. As such
he often waited about to "set up”
congressmen end senators when
thev drifted into the swankier wet
spots of Manhattan. He was look-
ed upon as a most excellent cus-
tomer.
The colonel’s business was con-
nected with the imoortation of
limes So a bartender decided one
afternoon to please this good
soendor by using a lime in the
beverage. The colonel of course
smackd hi* lips and passed on the
word
‘ What's the name of this?" he
asked
"The Hickey sir. of course after
youl”
Just what effect this had on the
lime trade is not recorded But
the lnc"ea«e ip demand must have
been considerable.
• • •
Al Crockett connected with the
Waldorf for many years recalls
many of the colorful personalities
and important figures who drop-
ped in and out.
The elder J. Piermont Morgan
appeared daily for a Manhattan
cocktail after the market closed 1
And usually limited it to one
Judge Elbert Gary was another
temperate visitor. But upon achiev- 1
ing titanic business success Gary
kept away because he was con-
stantly bothered bv hangers-on
seeking "inside tips."
The late Colonel Cody would ap-
pear in dress clothes and a ten
gallon hat. Almost everyone cn
hand would insist on treating him
‘Buffalo invariable reply
was "You sneak the language of
my tribe sir.’’
• • •
And there was Lawrence Je-
rome father of William Travers
Jerome credited with being the
original of that famous old tale
of the fellow who was riding on
a crowded bus holding a child on
his lap when a lovely lady entered
The man turned to" the ‘ lad and
ordered: “Get up there son and
give the lady your seat.”

MR. GARNER GETS THE NEWS
("Speaker Garner will be notified
of his nomination for the vice pre-
sidency by letter.”—News item*
Mr. John Nance Garner.
Uvalde Texas.
Dear John:
Weil I have a surprise for you
and you will never guess what It
is. I happened to be in Chicago
and heard about it first-hand and
at first I was not going to say
anything about it thinking I would
just let the news trickle to you
through a chance Item in the press.
I realized though that with the
papers so full of news and pictures
of the Olympic games professional
golf tournaments baseball and
speeches by Oggie Mills they would
probably not have any space to
give you so I said to some of my
friends "WTiat do you think about
dropping a line to John and let-
ting him know what has happen-
ed?” They seemed to think It would
be just as well as they all agreed
that you ought be told about It.
• • *
One or two of the boys thought
maybe you wouldn't care to know
about It In fact one fellow said he
thought it would be better to let
you go through life without ever
knowing anything about It. I gave
the matter a whole night's thought
however and decided that you had
a right to share In the secret so
here goes.
• • •
! There was a big entertainment
and radio program arranged in
Chicago a few weeks ago during
which some of the boys put your
name in for second prize which
was the vice-presidency of the
United States. Quicker than you
can say Jack Robinson or Willie
McAdoo. it went through and you
were declared the winner. First
prize went to a fellow whose name
escapes me for the minute but he
is a tall man with a light com-
plexion and I think he wrote that
piece called ‘ Trees.”
mm*
Anyhow you got the second prize
and I ain sure that you will be In-
terested in getting the news offi-
cially. I Inquired to find out
whether there was any cash value
to it thinking that maybe you
would rather have the money In-
stead but It seems the nomination
lor the \ ice presidency is something
you have to take just as It lays I
should think they could arrange
such things so that if a man had
no use for the vice presidency he
could take a box of cigars two sofa
pillows or maybe a basket of fruit
instead but 1 am not the boss.
• • •
Well I am glad to get this off
my chest and no matter what hap-
pens don't say I didn't warn you.
With best wishes.
I am your old friend.
Sen. Barkley.
Reply
Sen Alben W. Barkley
Washington. D. C.
Dear Bark:
I have Just received your interest-
ing letter and you could have
knocked me over with a Hoover
veto. Of course I am entitled to
know about such a nomination and
I appreciate your telling me. I
tuned in on that Chicago radio
show and so did a lot of my friends
but we got fed up on the Jokes and
organ music pretty early in the
program ar shifted to some of
those big advertising programs so
w# could tell just what the spon-
sors were selling.
1 had a hunch that something
had happened to me. because peo-
ple have been avoiding me lately
and I have sensed a big drop in
prtsuge. I had no idea what it
was. however until I got your kind
letter explaining that I had been
named to be vice president of the
United States. I was inclined to be
pretty sore at first but into each
life some rr' x must fall and besides
maybe the boys didn't mean to
insult me. but did it all In a spirit
of foolery.
After all. a m..n must bear his
share of burdens and take the bad
breaks with the good.
Your friend
Jack.

17000 PRISONERS TAKEN
On July 19. 1918 American and
French fences continued their drive
between the Aisne and Marne riv-
ers with great success. They an-
nounced that more than 17000 Ger-
man prise ere had been taken and
that 360 heavy guns had been cap-
tured.
German newspapers admitted the
seriousness of the defeat suffered
only three days after the beginning
of what t^an as a major German
offensive effort.
French troops also make impor-
tant gains near Rheuns and British
forces stormed Meteran after a day
of hard figh ing.
The most significant factor In the
reek's fighting was that the Ger-
mans were evervwhere on the de-
fensive. for .he first time since the
beginning of tike yeac.

Tae maternal mortality rale is

rates in different countries are
not to be consider’d of great sig-

whether the statistics published
are prepared in such a way as to
enable accurate comparisons to be
made between the figures given
for different countries."
In most countries the death rate
of mothers at childbirth appear to
be relatively stationary and oas
been for some time.
Deaths of mothers under these
circumstances are classified inn
three groups; those due to infec-
tion which arise in the birth or-
gans; those due to complications.
such as difficult births bleeding
or severe intoxication by poisons
and those due to a*joc.a;ed dis-
eases such fcs tuberculosa heart

to the actual deaths caused by

Much of this goes unnoticed or

Such attention would unques-

unnecessary physical disability and
suffering among women.
If a woman is already suffering
from some serious dise&'e and
finds that she b to have & child
she must be treated primarily for
the disease and the fact that she
is to have a child is incidental.
Whether or not she is to proceed
or how she is to proceed depends
entirely on her physical condition
as determined at the time of her

CHAPTER XLVIII
'THF gray kitten mewed again.
It sat oc the fifth step down
from the top of the flight and as
Phillips reached for It the kitten
backed away. Its fur mounted per-
pendicularly and from its mouth
there came a sharp hissing “Pkftt!"
It was Cherry’s kitten.
••Pinky!” Dan Phillips exclaimed.
He picked up the little animal
holding it to the light. It was
Pinky—there could be no doubt
about it.
Pearson below asked impatient-
ly. "What’s the idea? What's the
cat got to do with—?**
But Dan was not listening. One
quick glance about him and he was
running up the stairs. There were
three doors opening off the third
floor hallway. One led to Dixie
Shannon’s tiny quarters and an-
other to the Moreaus’ rooms. Phil-
lips had never stepped behind the
third door. It was a vacant apart-
ment—but no a tiny crack of light
gleamed above the door sill!
A half dozen strides carried Dan
to that door. The kitten having
established acquaintanceship cra-
dled close to his arm. It was purr-
ing in a sleepy sing song.
Dan knocked.
There was no answer but be
heard a rustling sound on the op-
posite side of the door. He knocked
a second time.
Then slowly hesitantly the door
opened. There she stood! Cherry
wearing the yellow housedrese In
which be had seen her so often.
The lamp light fell on that yellow
dress and mado It golden. Cherry's
face was pale. She raised wide
dark fringed eyes to Dan's.
The young man said. "Cherry—!**
As often as she had rehearsed
’ the scene to follow—as often aa she
I had hoped for it—what happened
in the next few moments was noth-
Ing whatever like Cherry's imagin-1
J ingg. Dan took a step forward. He
held oat the kitten and CherTy
took It in her arms.
“Here" Dan said. “Pinky—I
found him on the steps.**
The words halted. The young
xnan was looking Intently at the
girl’s face. He did not move—was
not even standing inside the room
i He did not try to touch Cherry but
remained there staring at her.
* * '
TT was the girl who recovered
*■ from her surprise first She put
g hand to her throat smiM tn a
way that was not quite convincing
said in a low. throaty voice. ‘Thank
yon. Dan. I—1 guess you're sur
prised to see me!**
He nodded. It was not Dan's
voice that answered but one that
tl ‘ ' ~
was entirely strange and teemed to '
belong to another person.
"Yes It Is a surprise. Mare you
been here all the time. Cherry? 1
didn't know—"
"I dldn t want you to. The Jani-
tor said It was all right. He let
me stay here. I've been down In
the apartment too—but only when
1 knew you wouldn't he there. No
one saw me. I didn't want anyone
to know about it. Pinky's been
here all the while bet tonight be
must have slipped out when 1
wasn’t noticing.
Level glances. Level matter-of-
fact voices. And ail the while the
flaming stabbing words so close to
Dan's lips.
There was the briefest pause and
then Phillips made a tremendous
effort. He said “Cherry—you want
mo to go. don’t you?'*
"Why I—"
"If that's what you want I’ll do
It." Suddenly Dan was voluble.
"I’ll do anything you say. Cherry
I mean—anything! You can have
a divorce if you want It. Every-
thing was my fault—I know that
now. There’s no reason why you
should be tied to a dub like me! I
couldn’t espect It after the way
I’ve treated you. We’ll arrange
things In the quietest way—make
it as easy for you as possible. Oh
you're a million times too good for
me and 1 know it! I've made every
kind of fool of myself a man can.
I couldn't expect you to forgive the
things I’ve done! And I want you
to bo happy. Cherry! I want that
more than anything else in the
world. I’ll—I’ll even give you up
if that will make you happy!**
He could keep from It no longer.
Suddenly Dan's arms went around
the girl. He caught her close to
him. Dan whispered “Darling—
ob my dear—my dear 1 love you
so much!**
It was like a miracle. Cherry’s
■oft cheek like warm velvet
against hit own. Cherry unresist-
ing that fervent embrace. Cherry
raising eyes that were like star-
light. Cherry—his own beloved
Cherry close in bis arms!
And suddenly the miracle became
reality. She drew away. The girl's
eyes—they were no longer level
and matter-of-fact but radiant
misty and gloriously tender—met
Dan’s.
She whispered. “Don't leave me
again Dan! 1 couldn't stand It 1
don't want you to go away again—
ever!**
“You mean you don’t want a di-
vorce? You’ll give me another
chance? Ob. Cherry I swear that
| if you do everything will be differ-
ent! I'll never be such a fool again
; l love you. Cherry. You're the
only one In the world I love! Don't
you know that?"
• • •
'T’HERE were footsteps on the
staircase. Max Pearson's bead
emerged above the railing aa the
two In the doorway turned.
“Cherry!" Pi arson exclaimed
"Well I’m certainly glad to know
you're all right! Ha* Dan told you
we’ve been tearing the town apart
to find you? Thought you'd been
kidnaped or smashed op la an ac-
cident—!"
The girl shook her head. "Dan
didn't tell me" abe said. Her eyes
were on Dan's. The look that
passed between these two was un-
mistakable.
Pearson coughed. “Ob I eee!“
he said. “Other things to talk
about. By the way Dan. do you
realise we have a taxi waiting out-
side?”
“Good Lord! I'd forgotten all
abovlt it!” Dan moved but the other
put a hand on his arm.
“I'll taks care of it." Max told
him. “Got to be running along any-
how. I want to get oft an answer
to that wire."
“You mean about the Job? Are
you going to take it Max?"
“Yes I guess so. I'll be clearing
out In a couple days. See you to-
morrow Dan—'■
| Cherry stepped forward. She put
out her hand. "We'll both see you.
! Max. You wouldn't leave Welling-
1 ton without saying goodby to mo.
would you? I thought we were
■ fr: ada.”
Pearson** hand gripped the
girl’*. “Of course we are' he said.
| "Always!"
And that handclasp the look In
Cherry Phillips’ eyes meant more
to Max Pearson than declarations
of lore from any other woman In
the world. Pearson grinned. “Well.
I'll be getting along now!"
They went down to the second
floor landing together. Cherry's
face smiling down orer the ban-
nister was the last thing Pearson
saw before pulling down bis hat
brim drawing np his coat collar
and stepping out into the night
s s s
/"’HERRY and Dan stood before
^ their own thesbold. Dan opened
the door touched the wall switch
and they entered the apartment
“Great guy. Pearson!" he said
‘But then I've always told you
that.“
Cherry would bare agreed with
him. She was about to say as much
when something on the floor caught
her eye. A slender white envelope
It was lying lust within the room
where the Janitor bad slipped It
underneath the door. Cherry picaed
lt up- -——^ _
"A letter!" she said. “Tor yoa
Dan. Oh. look—!"
Both of them were staring at the
inconspicuous lettering in the up-
per loft hand corner of the enve-
lope. The name waa that of a fa-
mous /nagaxin*. Quickly with a
halfsuppressed exclamation Daa
tore often the envelope drew out
the sha t that waa Inside.
"Cheery!” he cried. "Why—why.
Cherry—!"
He bald a slip of pink pttter bear-
ing the worda. "Pay to Tie order
of Dan tot Phillips. |300."
"The rtf a some mistake" Dan waa
mutterlrjs. "It Isn't for me
Cherry. It can’t be!"
"Let’s read the letter dear."
It was a brief note. The editor
waa plcaatd to Inform Daniel Phil-
lips that bis manuscript. "Night
