World Follows Lindy's Exploits

Plans for Trip to Orient Interest All Peoples Washington." Where Lindbergh goes the world's imagination follows —an axiom of American Journalism —has received new confirmation incidental to announcement of the aviator's plan for a flight to Japan and China. Over four years havi elapsed since I.lndlorgii “hopped off” from Roosevelt field for the first successful nonstop flight to Paris. The tremendous interest that attended his trans-Atlan-tic fl ght has persisted during successive years, owing to a well timed series of aerial accomplishments. These have belied any poMrtbiflty. that the first transcendental exploit was merely the result of luck. ; In four jears since he startled the world he has been the object of attempted exploitation in every field, despitt* which he still is best identified for his contributioYis to aviation. After his return to the United States in I!':-’ he so.»n embarked on a na-tion-wide tour, under ausp-ees of the Guggenheim foundation, which aimed to b.ull.d up popular Interest in aviation— in a word, to help make the public “air minded.’' This eventful and safe tour was estimated of great Imttortance as an enepuragemt i luerclal aviation.

In the next year Lindbergh had a new thrill in store for the country, a feat which he shared with his wife.. Mrs. Ann Morrow Lindbergh, soon to participate in his fortunes on the far eastern flight. The couple left Los Angeles In the stopped at Wichita. Kan,, in the afternoon for refueling, ami the same night hurtled into Roosevelt field. N. Y„ for a new transcontinental record.

Only Longhorn Herd in America Shows Increase Lawton, Okla.—The Texas Longhorn, bovine replicat of the days of the Spanish conquistadors, will not become extinct, although there is but one herd In the United State?. United States forestry officials are certain that the animal will be preserved through the rapid growth- of the herd in Wichita National forest and game preserve. The rapid growth of the herd since it was placed in the preserve gives credence to the contention. The herd now numbers 75, three times its size in 1927. The Longhorn, descendant of the scrawny and hardy cattle of Spain centuries ago, once numbered thousands on western plains. The first Spanish colonists brought a few with them during their conquest of Mexico and southwestern United States. Through the effort* of Will Barnes

Work on Hydroelectric Dam in Ozarks Started Siloam Springs, Ark.—Preliminary work to the actual construction of the huge hydroelectric project on Grand river, near here, has been started. Hundreds of acres in the valleys will be inundated by a lake to be created. The project will be one of the largest in this section of the Ozarks. More than three years will be spent In construction. Hundreds of men will be afforded employment by the work. The actual dam site is across the Arkansas 11ns In Oklahoma.

LOOKING BACK ON OLD TIMES The country was mostly trees and stumps. Wild pigeons, during the spring flights, darkened the sky and are now extinct. Not a single bird is left. ... All farm fields were full of stumps, which required cutting the grain with hand scythes and cradles. Oxen were used for all purposes. In winter they were shod by slinging up the animals with a windlass. The covered wagons were still going to the Golden West. ’lt was the exception when overland coaches were not held up in going to the coast. White desperadoes were quite as dangerous as Indians. For many years, buffalo bones were used for making glue am 1 oone charcoal at the American Agricultural Chemical works here in .Detroit. Robes, smoke-tanned and of the best quality, were bought for S 5 apiece. Al) building timbers were l.ewed and scored and raised in bents by all neighbors. lrvite< to the bee for the jollification. Neighbors were far apart and was exchanged where needed. All fires were of wood. A crude stove was in use with a huge fireplace. Stone coal (which was hard coal) came into use with the baseburner about 1860. Sleeping rooms were always cold. Ashes were saved and bleached for lye, making soft soap, which was in genera 1 use. The only ligh. was tallow dips. Money was in shillings and fractions of shillings. There were log schoolhouses. Homes were comfortable, with inside finish aid wal s <>f black walnut. The furniture was horsehair. In the attic were trunks, covered with calfskin and large-headed brass tacks containing old letters that were mailed without envelopes. They were wax-scaled, and 25 cents postage was paid by the receiver. Pens were made of quills. Fine, black sand in pepper boxes was used for blotting paper / Beds were high-posted, with rope cords. Treks were filled with corn husks and sometimes straw. Spinning wheels were in use. Socks were i knitted at home. Cloth was pur- ' chased, and clothes were made by; anyone at home. Screens -were un- 1 known. Tl.e first oval screen was to i cover the butter. In case of com- - pany. some member of the family with a brush would keep the flies off the table during the meal. Only preserved fruits were canned; otherwise they were dried Mn fly time!) —W. P. Holliday, in Detroit News. Substitute for Fairies * in Eugenic Teachings When eugenists meet -we always seek out their reports. In a world without fairies, where even the children are taught really-trujy stories about tractors and sewing machines,, the eugenists’ discussions, provide a refershihg bit of romance, an escape from dull realism into a world of fancy-free. Eugenists, Prof, Harry Overstreet told the other eugenists' recently, must determine wtmt types to per-petuate-~“warriors, esthetics, little angels, big business men. well-mus-cled men or leaders." (What does he mean by “leaders**) .And boys and girls looking for mates should ' seek out "creatively intelligent good sports”—to which another eugenic ■ professor added, for some strange . reason, "with a sense of humor.” We. can imagine a pair of young eugenists sitting in the moonlight in June whispering softly: “Darling!” "Yrs, dearest.” Darling, I love you, but—” “But what, dearest?" “But darling, I’m not ■ sure that you are really creatively intelligent.” "Well. I love you, and that proves I’m intelligent.” “Yes. dear, but after all. you take ine as I am, and that is not really creativW Besides —” "Besides what?” dearest, are you sure youh’e the type best fitted to perpetuate the best of the race? You know you are sometimes just a little bit, er. just a wee .mite—” (the voice grows louder). “A wee mite what?” -“Well. I dunno, but perhaps just a trifle too overmascled for the new world order?” Or perhaps we can’t imagine anything of the sort. But then, if we did not read about them in the pa.pers. we never would believe in the eugenists either. —New York Herald Tribune.

Immortal “Will’s” Father Feared Process Servers Prosecution of Councillor Cox, bf Manchester, for not attending church bn Sunday, was founded on the Sunday Observance act of 1G77. But tha law of England about compulsory church observance was the same a hundred years earlier, when Shakespeare’s father was reported to the Stratford authorities “for not comminge monethlie to Churche accordinge to hir Majesties lawes.” But it was not lack of piety so much as lack of pelf that kept John Shakespeare away from the parish church. For in the record, there is this note appended to his flame and the names of eight other offenders: “It is sayde that these laste nine coom not to Church for feare of process for debtte.” ~ It was on September 25, 1592, thdt this record was made —just a year before the publication .of “Venus and Adonis,” described by Shakespeare in his dedication as “The first heire of my invention.’’—London Morning Post.
