Mr. Brown said he had been studying a little on cornerstones. The study was a up to the time when requests began coming in to place something patriotic, worthwhile for future generations to see, a “must” in any cornerstone. He mentioned some of the things that were placed in the cornerstone of the War Memorial.

It included such standbys as the daily papers, the invitation to the cornerstone laying, general histories .of several wortny grganizations, names of all the big shots of the day.

Some of the other things buried in the Memorial are hardly worth mentioning. After reading the list, 1 was convinced whoever was in charge could have .done better.

Pilots have told me that, even with only two soupbones to spin her along, she is still the soundest crow in the sky. She was small and she was slow, but after they got her in production she was never cranky or apt to blow up in a crisis. She took off quick and landed easy. She could climb the hump from India to China as well as the next lady. ~ She flew oceans as steadfastly as the fancy jobs with the four props. And she logged more miles than all the marching Chinese.

It is possible that her type might have flown forever, after careful overhaul and replenishment of worn parts, But her steady slugging at about 165 MPH rules her out of today’s fancier and swifter competition. The seventh DC-3 built was American’s battered old gal, the Newark. She worked from New York to Los Angeles from 1936 until the war. Six years later she went to war, and logged 2233 hours here and abroad. It took only a month to whip her back into shape for commercial servfoe. Back to the plow she went with nary a wheeze.

WASHINGTON, Apr. 8—A Senator, like Alad@in, can rub his trusty lamp and be in two places at once. No trick at all. Doesn't even need mirrors. $ When all the Senators are polishing their lamps at once, they multiply something awful and we find ourselves beset by 222 of these gentlemen, instead of the 96 we actually elected. This is a little confusing to me and to Sen. Robert A. Taft of Ohio, who makes it a practice of being only one place at a time, like other people. <The ghostly lawgivers were flitting invisibly all over the place when Vice President Alben W. Barkley said he was tired of counting Senators who were not there, Take last Thursday, he said. He counted 49 actual, earthly noses on the job. When the Congressional Record appeared, he said, it showed that 89 Senators had answered to their names. The 40 extra Senators, obviously, were
