FLOWERS ARE GIVEN ‘ALL-AMERICA’ RATING Rust-Proof Snapdragon Leads This Year’s Floral Group. B,y Science Service ST. LOUIS, Dec. 13.—Flowers no less than football players receive “All-America” honors. Each year a mail ballot of the best annuals originated during the season is taken among horticulturists, and awards are made by an “All-American Council," which presents awards of distinction. This year’s floral “All-American” leads off with a rustproof snapdragon originated at the University of California. The grand champion of gold medal winners is the "Klondyke Orange Flare” cosmos. Other winners of gold medals and awards of merit include new and beautiful varieties of nasturtium, marigold, calendula, zinnia, petunia, phlox, dianthus, verbena, celosia and anchusa. In addition, three new marigolds of English origin are mentioned. U. S. CHANGES DESIGN OF SILVER CERTIFICATE Both Sides of Nation's Great Seal Appear on New Money. By United Brens WASHINGTON. Dec. 13.—Uncle Sam's Christmas gift to the public—a brand new $1 silver certificate—can be obtained at most banks beginning Wednesday. The 1936 model bill has anew design on the back, which presents both sides of the great seal of the United States. The reverse of the seal, appearing on the new bill for the first time, shows an unfinished pyramid, surmounted by an eye in a triangular effect and bears two Latin mottoes. <? The motto above the design is “Annuit Coepitis” meaning “he (God) prospered our endeavors." The lower motto is “Novus Ordo Seciorum'' which translated says “a new order of the ages.” BRITISH AIRLINE PUTS PLANES ON DISPLAY Huge Ships Use Gear Boxes Instead of Variable Pitch Propellers. By Scini c Service LONDON, Dec. 13.—Airlines of Imperial Airways are on exhibition at the Science Museum. Their capacity varies from three and one:if to five tons, depending on the range icquired over British Empire routes. Major change in trends is use of two-speed gear boxes linking motors and propellers instead of the variable pitch propellers as used cn American transport planes. While variable pitch propellers have an advantage in engine performance of 20 per cent, the gear boxes permit weight reductions equivalent to several passengers. Get.

Pittsburgh’s Amazing Mayor, Mr. McNair, Keeps City Wondering What He’ll Pull Off Next

By M A Srr ire PITTSBURGH. Dec. 13—With only half of his four-year term as Mayor completed. William Nissley McNair has already delighted, astounded, or shocked tins city by a political variety show with acts taken from the better turns of Bossy Gillis, Big Bill Thompson, Jimmy Walker, Will Rogers and P. T. Barnum. Suddenly thrown into the first big job of his lifetime by a surprising election result, the formerly obscure lawyer has romped through two years in a style unpredictable, but never dull. The first six months were a riot of hiring, firing and assorted escapades. Then the loquacious, wise-cracking Mayor took a vacation in Europe. On his return after six weeks in France and Italy, the show reopened, and has gone on merrily ever since. During a recent two weeks, the Mayor cashed in on his publicity, position and talents to the tune of $2350 for radio and stage appearances and for magazine writings. a a a HE netted SISOO for a week as master of ceremonies at a Pittsburgh movie palace, making up his own gags as he went through the four-a-day performances. Although he had announced he would use his stage salary to fight pollution of the Clarion River, he changed his mind and incased the uncashed check in a panel in his office wall “for future Mayors to see.” Appearing on a Rudy Vallee radio program “because my little daughter said In'* 11 never have the chance again,” Me* played the violin, with somewhat skill than Rubinoff. All of which didoes have been greeted with mixed emotions by the good people of Pittsburgh. When he took office in 1934, McNair, a life-long Democrat and perennial candidate, was associated with a newly resurrected Democratic organization headed by State Chairman David L. Lawrence. Most of the Mayor’s cabinet members were named for him by the organization. a tt tx WITHIN six weeks, McNair was firing these appointees right and left. This led to a bitter battle in the Legislature, aimed at ousting him. Saved by a Republican state Senate, McNair has generally supported Republican candidates since. Constant bickering with city council has been the rule, and a new record for vetoes and overriding has been set. Four safety directors have held the post in 10 months. The present city solicitor is the third, and the personnel of city boards and commissions has been shaken up again and again. McNair fired the woman who headed the Civil Service Commission, and a few months later made

Mayor William N, McNair of Pittsburgh may not be the most able executive that city ever had, but he’s the most spectacular, as

her chairman of the Zoning Board. Not one Works Progress Administration job has been started in Pittsburgh. McNair has vetoed ordinances, ordered his engineers to ignore WPA plans, and refused to attend bid openings to finance the projects. His recent strictures against President Roosevelt and in favor of Gov. Talmadge of Georgia gained nation-wide publicity. tt tt a /AN the new-famous vacation trip to Europe, McNair presented the Pope with a Pittsburgh stogie, and came home with a hat check from the Vatican cloakroom, leaving his hat so he could keep the check as a souvenir. Antics such as these have brought a sharp division of opinion in Pittsburgh. McNair has been called everything from a clown and a maniac to a second Abraham Lincoln. On one point there is no division of opinion; he is never dull. McNair, a one-time Mennonite, stems from a Pennsylvania-Dutch family at Middletown, Pa. After graduation from the University of Michigan law school, he set up practice in Pittsburgh in a dismal, untidy office, searching titles and preaching the single-tax system of Henry George. For 25 years he ran for office, and says he will run another 25 years if he lives that long. He is now 57. He ran, unsuccessfully,

for judge, district attorney, state secretary of internal affairs, U. S. Senator, Governor and county commissioner. a a tt T7IFTEEN years ago he was the Democratic nominee for Mayor, and went to jail overnight for making a soapbox speech without a permit. His latest stunt was an “amateur night” for city employes. He hired the biggest auditorium in the city and recruited 40 pay rollers with varying degrees of talent. The house was packed. Earlier, he appointed a notorious playboy to a city job that didn’t exist, and fired him two days later for “falling off the wagon.” After fining a “number game” baron S4OO for violating the lottery law, he appointed the same man to the City Transit Commission, a non-salaried post on a non-functioning commission. Once when he thought his police magistrates were too harsh in penalties for traffic violators, McNair set up a “Mayor’s Court” in his own office, and heard liis own cases. tt a tt T |E frequently bobs up in Police Court and replaces the magistrate. Once he ordered the police to stop tagging traffic violators’ cars for a week. For a two-

week period he set up his desk in the first-floor corridor in city hall, “so the taxpayers could see him open, his mail.” McNair doesn't allow even his personal appearance to grow stale. Three times during his term, thus far, he has grown and shaved off mustaches. Most of his continual running fire of wisecracks is directed at the city council. “What would be the use in having a Mayor.” demands McNair, “if he got along with council? Neither of us would get any publicity.” And a dizzy Pittsburgh wonders every day whether there is method in the McNair madness, whether this strange Mayor is a stooge or a statesman. HESLAR SUBMITS PLAN FOR NAVAL BOATHOUSE Park Board Asked for Use of Site at White River and 30th-st. Proposal for erection of a $350,000 boathouse overlooking White River at 30th-st was presented to the Park Board today by Commander O. F. Heslar of the Indiana Naval ReI serve.

BANGS TO TELL REASON STREET LIGHTSJAILED Meeting of Huntington Citizens to Consider Utility Problem, By United Prcs3 HUNTINGTON. Ind., Dec. 13. Meeting of Huntington citizens to discuss failure of the street lighting system will be held tonight, according to Mayor Clare W. H. Bangs. An official explanation as to why the street lights were turned off is to be given, he said. The Mayor, in announcing the meeting, said he wants to get the reaction of the citizens to the lightless nights he inaugurated this week. Unofficially, he has explained that the failure was due to the lack of maintenance funds. City garbage collection, also halted through lack of funds, was to be resumed this morning. Mr. Bangs received a certified copy of a state tax board ruling permitting approximation of funds to buy coal for the city incinerator ovens and SIOO to buy gasoline for collection trucks. Workmen on street repair projects have been hauling materials in wheel barrows while the trucks remained “in storage.” Mr. Bangs said the only way he knew to resume the lighting system operation would be through collection of funds through a public subscription. It is said that the 300,000 tons of material used in constructing the Empire State Building in New York contained about $17,000 worth of radium.
