He had carved the initials 26 years befpre. and the tortoise was within 40 rods of the locality where the carving was done

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT WEDNESDAY. JULY 31. 1929.

DOCTORS DIE YOUNGER THAN AVERAGE MAN Eight-Year College Grind And Irregular Hours (’ut Down Vitality Indianapolis, July 31 —(UP)- "Sad but true," commented Dr. Herman (’. Morgan, city health board secretary, today on a Life Insurance comisiny survey showing that doctors' lives, despite their medical knowledge are two years shorter than that of the average insurance policyholder. An eight year college grind, followed by a practice involving long and irregular hours, cuts down vitality and resistance, Morgan said. Danger of Infection from disease is always preI sent and often fatal despite percau- | tions. “Scrutiny of medical journals' obituaries reveals heart disease as the thing that gets doctors" Morgan said. "Sedentary life and lack of exercise gets preachers, who live longer than men of any other profession. “Contrary to popular belief liquor and drugs do not bring disaster to many doctois, They get a tew. of course but the average doctor knows too well the disastrous reuslts to become a slave to stimulants ” Most doctors "die in service,” according to Morgan, only an occasional one retiring. "It's a tremendous responsibility," he added, “to have the lives of hundreds of people entrusted to you. A failure to the doctor cuts deep; it means a human life. That load of responsibility eats into the nerves and cuts many years off of the life of the doctor.” o Columbia City Man Denies Murder Charge Columbia City, Ind., July 31. —(U.R)— Charles Sheckler, 53, charged with the murder of his nephew, Decar Sheckler, 16, pleaded not guilty when arraigned in a justice of the peace court here. He was ordered held to circuit court without bond. » It was considered likely that he would be held in jail to the next court term, which is in September. Young Sheckler s body was found ■ near here with a bullet wound in the head. He had disappeared after attending a church party. — o — Evansville—(UP)—r Advocates of a bridge across the Ohio river linking Evansville and Kentucky have been advised by Gov. Flem D. Sampson of Kentucky that his state will be ready l by fall to contribute its half of the I expense for the project Indiana is to pay the other half.

HOLDERS OF NEW FLIGHT RECORD RECEIVE PRAISE fCOMTINUBP FH«»M PAOK (WB) down with its pilots and sponsors feeling, as somebody expressed it, “there’s no use fighting any more when the battle's won.” Estimated earnings of the pilots were $31,250 jointly. So many diffetent awards are waiting tor them that the exact amount they will realize from the flight is unknown. It will average about $2 per minute, it was estimated. That includes a bonus of SIOO per hour on a basis of 500 hours, promised them by the Curtiss Airplane company, makers of the challenger motor. When the Robin landed the glass door opened and out stepped two neat, freshly-shaven young men, dressed in dark trousers and clean white shirts. Their straw hats were in their hands, and their faces bore wide and heartfelt grins. For a moment the throng stood amazed at the sight so different from the haggard, worn men they had expected to see Then with a shout they swept forward and engulfed the fliers and plane. Squads of police were ahead of them, however, and while the flyers were rushed, straw

huts In hand, to a nearby hangar, po Hee and field operatives surrounded and protected the monoplane. Several persons were hurt, none seriously, as the crowd closed in behind the police guard and flung itself cheering and screaming against lh< doors of the hangars. A flurry shook police lines and there appeared two young women one u tall striking blonde, the other short, plump and tremendously excited. They were Mrs. Sully Jackson, wife of "Red" and Mrs. Elsie O’Brine, "Obie's better half " Both flyers apparently could hear with perfect ease, despite their IS days behind a constantly roaring motor. Jackson stood with arms folded, a broad smile on his face, "How do you feel?” he was asked. "How do I look?" he replied. "Just like you were going to a party." "That's just the way 1 feel." Both admitted "a little weakness in the legs,” probably due to the impos.-i bllity of standing erect in the cabin. "Who landed the ship?" somebody asked. "Jackson," O'Brine replied, while I “Red" looked at the floor. "Why did you finally decide tc

land?" The smile died off O'Brlne's face, and Jackson's lips were grim. “The death of George Lambert more than anything else," Jackson said slowly. George Lea laimbert, close friend of the flyers and vice-president of Von | Hoffmann Avialion company, was kill I ed when he and a student pilot crash I eq seven miles from laimbert field j Monday, The student, Harold (' Jones, died in another plane on the way to a St. Louis hospital. The spick-and-span condition of th--flyers after IS days aloft, wis due to the facilities the Kobin carried for comfortable living. The flyers shaved and took a sponge bath every day. Their meals were lowered to them hot and fragrant, fresh from the ki(< h en of the O'Brine home near the airport! "Sally” and "Elsie" did tht cooking. Tlte flyers slept by turns on a fourinch air mattress, laid atop the long fuel tank which occupied the rear of the cabin. Examinaliops by field surgeons immediately after the flight revealed that both flyers were in splendid physical condition, with hardly a trace of the strain. Jackson weighed the same as he did when he climbed ■ into the Robin to take off. O'Brine has gained two pounds. > Today the flyers were to be guests
