Bill to Reward World Flyers
Finds Opposition in Army Circles
Washington, Dec. 9.—The ques
tion of rewarding the men who
made the first flight around the
earth has led to a difference of
opinion between the president and
war department officials.
Acting on a recommendation
Mr. Coolidge made in his mes
sage to congress that the world
flyers be rewarded, Representa
tive Rathbone, republican, Illinois,
introduced a bill giving them
$10,000 each, marked promotion
and the congressional medal of
honor.
Differ With President
It was intimated in war depart
ment circles that too marked pro
motion and reward may have a
bad effect on the service and that
opinion in the department did not
go along with the president.
The reward proposed by Rath
bone is regarded as out of har
mony with the conservative atti
tude of the war department be
cause the department wants the
flyers rewarded in a way that will
not awaken jealousy and envy
among other members of the ser
vice.
The Rathbone proposal to con
fer the congressional medal of
honor has created controversy and
4 PERSONS HURT

La Grange, Ga., Dec. 9.—Four

panied by torrential rains, - struck

50 residences and the Harwell ave

disapproval not only in congress
but also in army circles.
Law on Subject Invoked.
The law of 1863 provided that
this decoration should be given
for conspicuous bravery in n ac
tion. This was made more spe
cific by language written into
the law in 1918 limiting the med
al to men who had shown eonspic
- o
uous bravery in “actual conflict
with the enemy. yy
Rathbone is not disturbed by
thi# language of the law. He
says that the achievement of the
world flyers was so conspicuous
that congress can overlook the
provsion which might seem to
bar them. He argues that the
conflict waged by these men with
the elements approximates any
struggle men might carry on
against arms. i
Provisions of Bill.
The bill and the joint resolution
which Rathbone has introduced
provides that Lieut. Lowell Smith,
who commanded the flight after
Major Martin had crashed into
an Alaska mountain, and Lieuts.
Leigh Wide, Eric Nelson and
Leslie P. Arnold shall be pro
moted to the rank of major. Ci
vilian Mechanic John Harding,
Jr., and Technical Sergeant Henry
H. Ogden, who flew as second
lieutenants of the reserve Corps
on active duty, shall receive per
manent commissions as first lieu
tenants.
All six are to receive the con
gressional medal of hpnor, which
permits the wearer the privilege
of the floor of congress.
Praised by Rathbone.
“The world flight,” Rathbone
said, “waS one of the greatest
achievements the world has seen.
It called for bravery and courage
of the highest order. I believe
these flyers have fulfilled all the
requirements for the congrssion
al medal.
tt They are worthy of the in
crease in rank, for by their dar
ing and bravery they have demon
strated capacity for big work.
None of them is looking for
money, but surely their personal
hardships are worth some com
pensation. ft
Mongolia 9 8 Wild Doge
Fiercer Than Wolves
The Mongols believe when persons
are about to die that evil spirits
enter the body, according to Mr.
Roy Chapman, leader of the Ameri
can Museum Asiatic expedition.
The bodies, once death has oc
curred, are placed on carts, driven
over the roughest possible ground,
and during the journey are thrown
off, to be devoured by wild dogs.
These dogs are doubtless the fiercest
creatures in the world. They are In
deed terrible, and were a constant
menace to the lives of the members
of the expedition.
No member, said Mr. Chapmnn,
went out of the camp unless armed
with revolver and knl fe. No one In
Urga, the Mongolian capital, dares
to go through the meat market at
night. They would be seized and
killed within a minute if they ven
tured to do so.
The members of the expedition on
at least three occasions came within
an ace of death from these animals.
Prof. Charles J. Berky, the chief
geologist, was attacked on the first,
occasion by three dogs, and would
have been killed had lie not had his
revolver handy. He killed the lead-'
ing dog and wounded the other two,
but they still leaped to the attack.
Men of Golden Pens
Made for Each Other
In the summer of ISSfl Mark
Twain and Uud.vurd Kipling first
met. Kipling, who had just was'fonr- begun
to make his name known,
Ing the world, and during the trip
through the United States he
went to Elmira especially^ to see
Mark Twain. The account of the
visit and interview is described by
Mark Twain as follows:
“Kipling spent a couple of hours
with me, and at the end of that
time I had surprised him as much
as he had surprised me—and the
honors were even. I believe that he
knew more tlmn any person I had
ever met before, and I knew that
he knew that I knew less than any
person he had ever met before—
though he did not say it, and I wns
not expecting that he would—he Is
a most remarkable man—and I am
the other one. Between us we cover
all knowledge; he knows all that
enn be known, and I know the rest."

Cot Mild Intoxicant

“Peyote'' (pronounced “pay-yo

Aztec “peyotl,” meaning a cater
pillar. The Aztecs applied "peyotl”
to a species of composite plants In
southern Mexico because of the
downy growth bn the roots. A mild
intoxicant was made by the In
dians from this plant. Later “peyote

Mexico ami the southwestern part
of the United States. , This cactus
Is found in abundance along the
Rio Grande.
The small tops which barely pro
trude above the ground are often
called “mescal buttons,” “mescal”
being another name for peyote.

But the chief use of
peyote is in certain religious cere
monies. It exhilarates the mind.
Intensities the imagination and pro
duces a pleasant dreaminess, with
out, however, any disagreeable ef
fects later. At least this is what
the authorities report.
The peyote Is taken at intervals
during the ceremonies, which last
throughout the night. Originally
all the red men In that region
chewed mescal. .In recent years the
peyote religion lias spread among
the Indians in Oklahoma and far
ther north. Some tribes look upon
the plant as of divine origin and

no English name which we know
for peyote.—Pathfinder Magazine.
