AIR ‘BOUDOIR’ LANDS AFTER 8 DATS ALOFT ‘Not Tired,’ Two Women Pilots Say: Plan Stunt at Cleveland Show. ftu United Pre jm VALLEY STREAM. L. 1., Aug. 23. The “flying boudoir" was back on earth today after its eight-day merry-go-round over Long Island to set anew women's endurance record. The pilots planned anew stunt for the Cleveland air contests. The new women champions, Mrs. Louise McPhetrtdge Thaden and Mrs. Frances Harrell Marsalis, rested after a long sleep in a real bed, completed their plans for the flight to Cleveland. They landed their plane at 6:05 p. m. Monday night, because their long grind “was becoming monotonous.” They denied they were tired, but observers noticed that their legs w'obbled when they climbed out of the tiny compartment, their home since Aug. 14. Greeted by Ruth Nichols The old refueling endurance mark Tor women, 123 hours, set by Bobby i Trout and Edna Cooper, was smashed by 73 hours 5 minutes and 48 seconds. The new r record as recorded by the official barograph is 196 hours 5 and 4-5 minutes. A large crowd surrounded the blue and silver plane as it settled down on the runway at Curtiss j field, then cheered the two women as they showed their heads at the j cabin window. Ruth Nichols, well-known woman flier, was one of the first to congratulate the new champions. Stewart Reiss, pilot of the refueling ship, who stood ready waiting his chance to congratulate the women, was given a kiss by both. Mrs. Thaden and Mrs. Marsalis, wives of experienced airmen, circled 17.000 miles over Long Island despite storm, fog and illness. One Nearly Collapses During the fourth day and night of the flight, they fought one of the worst rain and thunder storms ; of the year. Mrs. Thaden nearly collapsed after posing Monday night for cameramen. She was taken to a nearby home, and examined by a 1 physician who said she was suffer- : ing from exhaustion. Both women demanded a bathtub and hot water. They took some j alcohol baths with cotton while in ! the air. “Every time I tried to take a bath up there,” Mrs. Marsalis commented, "the refueling plane or photographers or someone would be up to watch me.” RESIDENT OF CITY FOR 35 YEARS IS DEAD Two Months’ Illness Is Fatal to Mrs.; Armilda J.

HOOVER’S FISHING IS CRITICIZED

President's System All Wrong, According to Garner

HOW many flgh should a man catch, if any? To what school of fishermen do anglers of Indianapolis belong—the Republican, headed by President Hoover, or the Democratic, over which Vice-Presidential Candidate John N. Gamer presides? Recently on a fishing trip. President Ho 'er was the subject of many fron page stories after he made tremendous inroads on the finny population. Significantly, Speaker Gamer came forth with a ponderous statement about that time. “I don’t believe in slaughtering the fish or catching them just to count them,” he said. “When you have got enough for yourself or your party—four or six—it's time to stop.” The Democratic theory of fishcatching evidently is aimed to catch the vote of those who be lieve in leaving a few fish in the water for a rainy day. And the Republican fishing slogan seems to be, “Prosperity If just around a bend in the river.” "" 9 THRE are other serious marks of difference between the two schools of fishermen. How shall a man dress to appeal to a fish? President Hoover wears his usual double-breasted suit when he goes out to meet the fish. This is topped by a chaste white collar of pre-war vintage. The headgear is a felt hat. He wears hip boots, too, ti nd wades right out among the fish and gets friendly. Candidate Garner’- appearance is entirely different. When he goes down to the sea with fishhooks he wears no man’s collar. The Speaker goes in his shirt sleeves, with suspenders to hold up his trousers. Should one use live bait or ar-

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

How many fish should a fisherman catch-all he can or just what he and his friends can eat? How should he dress when he goes angling? What kind of bait should he use? President Hoover and John N. Garner, Democratic vice-presi-dential candidate, have far different views on all these questions. What do Indianapolis fishermen think? Let's have your opinion. There’ll be a good prize for the best letter answering these queries, one that any fisherman will be glad to own. Write your letter to The Times Fishing Editor. by most followers of Izaak Walton to be a little bit different from politics, but fish also go for phoney bait. In this regard the Democratic position is definite. “If fish are foolish enough to bite at artificial bait,” says Candidate Garner, “they ought to be caught.” Coolidge preferred worms with which he found he could fool most of the fish most of the ti 3. How do the fishermen of Indianapolis stand qn worms?” a tt a TT may be necessary to decide •*- the leading questions at hand, to send out a Times’ reporter to interview a. small school of the fish themselves and ask them what kind of appeal they go for in the biggest way. They say that fish can stand anything, that is, that it is hard to hurt a fish—in which characteristic they have something in common with voters. How much can a fish stand? The fish should be asked what kind of treatment they like least,

FLAT CUT OF 10 PER CENT ON CITYWA6ES Mayor Announces Ruling Against Sliding Scale Based on Yearly Salaries. City employes whose salaries will be reduced Sept. 15 in accordance with the administration’s economy program will receive flat 10 per cent cuts, instead of proportionate reductions on the basis of yearly j salary, it has been announced by Mayor Reginald H. Sullivan. Compelled by the state salary reduction bill passed in the special ‘ session of the general assembly to pare salary budgets to 90 per cent of 1931 totals, city .officials considered making the greatest slashes in the upper brackets of the scale to accomplish the reduction with least burden on smaller salaried employes. Later, in cabinet meetings with presidents of boards and heads of departments, the decision was , reached to make the slash equally on all salaries. “In the last seven or eight years, the salaries of clerks, stenographers and minor employes been increased, while important officials

Careless Eddie Intoxicated on Private Lawn: Feet on Sidewalk Send Him to Cell.

BIG feet cost Eddie Carroll. 1422 Deloss street, a sentence of 180 days at the state farm in the municipal court of Judge William H. Sheaffer. Monday afternoon. Eddie was charged with drunkenneess. ' Where'd you find him," asked the judge. “On Sixteenth street. His feet were on the sidewalk and the rest of him was on the lawn.” was the reply. Now, prior ruling of the municipal courts have held that a man has the right to be intoxicated on private property as long as he is not creating a disturbance. But Eddie’s feet, although they were inactive, placed him on the sidewalk public property —and the judge said. “Ten and costs and 180 days on the farm." have been receiving salaries on the scale of years past,” Sullivan explained. “Two cut larger salaries, which were not benefited by raises, in a larger amount than smaller salaries which had been increased, is, to my mind, unfair," Sullivan said.
