Your old crate must have just ibout been slipping down through :he mists over Baldonnel airdrome when the sportswriter pinned the dual adjective on Dizzy—“heroic" was the word.

PRESIDENT ON FISHING TRIP Roosevelt On Fishing Vacation In Southern Pacific Ocean Aboard the IT. S. S. Houston en route to Cocos Isle. July 19. (By Naval Radio to the I'nited Press) President Roosevelt hoped for better luck today on his fishing vacation in southern Pacific wut-| ers. Thus far he had taken sec-; ond honors to Col. E. M Watson, | despite the president's catch yesterday of a 38-pund yellow tail. Col. Watson pulled a 6s-pound grouper from Magdalena Bay. j where Mr. Roosevelts party did most of its first day's fishing. The l\ S. S. Houston will move farther southward today on the leisure-. ly trip to Cocos and Galapagos Is-, lands. The president and his fishing companions were favored with ideal weather. It was warm and sunny; the waters were calm -- perfect conditions for fishing in tropical waters. As he will do until he disembarks Aug. 9 at Pesacola, Fla.. Mr. Roosevelt received several messages from Washington yesterday. One said that Helen Keller would be unable to accept an appointment as chairman and civilian member of the committee on purchases of products made by blind persons. Miss Keller, who previously had accepted, said that, the position would require more traveling than she cared to do. Mr. Roosevelt appointed M. R. • 1 Migel to replace Miss Keller.

Routine matters of organization were completed and a committee appointed to inform the governor the assembly was feet under his skilled fingers. By last year Doug had spent all ! his spare time for eight years, with | never a movie or a ball game to break the monotony, working to get - , his plane in shape. He told his uncle he had decided ( to fly to Honolulu, solo. Dr. Lang-: ford said “no." Doug said nothing, j (Tomorrow: Doug's further aerial adventures: Dr. Langford (eaches him navigation; he loses his job and i goe«s adventuring to fly to Iteland.)
