JAIL YOUTH WHO TRAVELED. ATOP STREAMLINE CAR

He Boards Spirit of St. Louis In New York; Annoyed At Arrest Here.

By HEZE CLARK Seventeen-year-old Charles Edward Mitchell is in jail here today all because he chose a method no man ever before had to get from where he was to where he wanted to be. "At 5:30 p. m. Monday, Mitchell told - Pennsylvania Railroad police, he boarded the engine of the Spirit of St. Louis, crack extrafare train, as it started to pull out of the New York City station, scooted back over seven streamlined cars, and lay ~ down. He lay flat on his stomach, fitting himself to_the round top of the car, and that was that, he said. He had nothing to hold on to. In this manner he rode to Indianapolis, bound for his St. Louis home, and was taken off the train here at 10:30 a. m. Tuesday.

Didn’t Even Lose Sleep He said he didn’t: remember going

through Pittsburgh, “because I was

asleep,” and he complained that occasionally hot cinders from the engine flew back and burned him.

Otherwise he seemed ' unimpressed |

by ‘his journey. Capt: G. A. Busemyer-and Sergt. C. L. Moran of the Pennsylvania Reilroad police force, were quite impressed by the feat, however, and declared that no one ever had ridden ‘a streamliner in such a way. - They said it was pretty hard to understand how he managed not to fall off, especially when he was asleep. A dispatcher somewhere east of here spotted the youth on the train top, wired ahead, and that is how he was caught. He faces a charge of .train riding in Municipal Court, continued yesterday at the request of police until Aug. 2.

‘Bums’ Way Around

Young Mitchell told police his father is a railroad engineer, and that he “bums” around the country for fun. He said he got to New York by stowing away in ‘a Japanese boat from San Francisco, was discovered, and worked his way to New York as a mess boy. : His ambition, he said, is to be an aviator and he adores speed. Next to the cinders, which he really looked upon as merely a hazard of the game, Mitchell said the most annoying thing about his trip was being arrested here.

“ “It delayed me,” he said, “when

I wanted to get home for dinner in.

St. Louis.”

Shun: Collars To Save Sight, Ttalians Told

ROME, Juiv 28 (U. P.) —Prof. Alfredo Cucco, professor at the Royal University of Palmero, urged Italians today tb abandon neckties, col lars and small handwriting in the interest of Fascist efficiency. Asserting that the Italian of the Fascist ‘era needed good eyesight so he could drive tanks, airplanes or warships to glory, Prof. Cucco cgntinued: “Strangling neckties and collars weaken the eyesight and burden and tire the cerebral faculties.” He urged, also, in an article in the newspaper Giornale d’Italia, that people revert to the old Roman style of writing in preference to the modern smaller wrtiing. “Tight collars and neckties and small handwriting are an exotic French importation,” he said.

Whites Find Life Dull: Among

Cannibals Who Eat Their Kin |

PHILADELPHIA, July 28 (U. P)—A white man’s. life among Dutch New Guinea cannibals is quite monotonous because the cannibals prefer to eat their relatives, S. Dillion Ripley, 24, of the Academy of ‘Natural

Sciences, said today. Mr. Ripley, returned from a stay among the cannibals, said nothing rates higher gastronomically than a relative who oversteps the bounds of propriety. “The system,” he said, “results in a minimum of bores and love thieyes in the tribe:” It resulted in part from the Dutch Government's attitude toward the consumption of white men and Chinese, he said.

Consider Meat Shortage

’ “For instance,” he continued, “let's suppose a tribesman steals from a fellow tribesman his wife or some other personal possession, The victim lodges a complaint with tne chief and the chief calls a council of assistant chiefs and priests. -If they decide the meat shortage is acute enough to warrant drastic punishment, the offender is invited to a big blowout. “He doesn’t know he is “about to be barbequed. He dances with the rest of them and the only indication of the unusual honor to be bestowed on him is a garland of flowers about his neck. “When the dancing ends, the unfortunate is killed with specially selected poles and divided. The guests then roast him to individual taste.”

BENTON, MURALIST,

HITS AT ARCHITECTS |

NEW YORK, July 28 (U. P.)—

Thomas Hart Benton, Missouri-born |.

muralist, author and dynamic painter said he would do no more murals until he found an ‘“architecturally perfect , setting.” “There's no use working your head off adapting yourself to spaces that have no value as frames for an expression in life,” he said. “My conception ‘is that so far as has been seen to date, the architect only wants what amounts to a piece of wallpaper on the. wall,

something. so devaid of striking ||

content, so devoid of genuinely stimulating esthetic properties that it will not disturb his predetermined concept of the proper formal relations in his building. “The architect. has got to realize that the attist also is a living, creative being.”
