TO MAKE FLYING SAFER
| The announcement from Washington
jthat flying will be made safer will be re
ceived with the commendation of the pub
lic. This news comes from the Bureau of
|Air Commerce, official body controlling
ithe air service of the country,
i There have been many accidents re
cently with commercial as well as private
ly owneéd planes, especially teachers who
‘make a business of instructing student
pilots. The new rules and regulations
{wi]l become effective November 1, andl
will regulate stunt or exhibition flying.
The rules as promulgated by officials
for privately owned planes are as follows:
. ““No person shall be carried on a flight‘
ifor hire except for instructions, |
| “Auxiliary parachutes will be required.
‘“No parachutes jump shall be made at
l]ess than 2,000 feet,
! “Delayed parachute jumps shall not be
;made at less than 1,600 feet,
| ‘“No parachute jumps shall be made
when the surface wind is more than fif
teen miles an hour.
‘ “No parachute jumps shall be made
within two miles of an open body of water
‘unless the jumper wears a flotation de
’v‘ice and motor boat is available.”” ]
1 The foregoing rules are timely and will, |
no doubt, aid materially in the reduction
of accidents, especially on public occasi
ons, but what is needed most are rules
governing commercial flying and fixing
qualifications for pilots. In fact, rules gov
erning air transportation should be just as
strict and binding as are rules governing
all other modes of transportation. The re
cent smash up in Utah which killed nine
teen passengers may have been unavoida
ble, but a thorough investigation should
be made by the government in order to
place the responsibility where it belongs.
Air transportativn is the most modern
mode of travel, but in order to popularize
it, there should be rules and regulations
formulated that would make sure the
greatest safety possible.
POSTMASTER GENERAL FARLEY
In keeping with g broad and liberal
mind on all matters affecting the Demo
cratic party, Postmaster General Farley
acted wisely when he stated that the ‘“‘ad
ministration plans no reprisals in party
primaries against the so-called “rebels”
who voted against the court plan of Pres
ident Roosevelt.” This statement coming
from Mr. Farley was, no doubtfi inspirea
by the President, but be that be that as it
may, such expressions and such a spirit is
typical of Farley, who has proved him
self to be above doing little things in or
der to get even with some one who did
not agree with him, @
.. We have watched Mr, Farley’s career
and at no time and under no condition has
he ever stooped to such acts. He has the
interest of the Democratic party at heart
which he puts above self or selfish mo
tives and that is why he has met with
such outstanding success in directing the
affairs of the party.
Unlike Senator Guffey, of Pennsylvania,
who threatened those senators voting
against the administration’s plan of the
Supreme Court with opposition, he ac
cepted their stand and their motives as
being honest and loyal to the best inter
ests of the party. Senator Guffey is not
the official spokesman for the administra
tion, consequently his threats will have
little, if any, effect on those senators who
conscientiously voted against the plan.
Mr. Farley is looking forward to the
campaign of 1940 with the expectation of
another landslide for the Democratic
party, and he is too well informed of the
conditions in this naticn to permit a few
of the hot headed leaders to misguide him
in walking into any such trap.
The senators whe voted against the
President’s plan were just as honest in
their convictions as was the President.
Their action is a matter of record and it
will be up to the people to endorse or re
dect at the polls in the next election,
THE DUKE AND THE DUCHESS
The man who gave up the throne of the
,greatest empire in the world to become
'the husband of an American woman,
[along with his wife will visit America
within the next few weeks. Their coming
to this country should not be capitalized
upon or commercialized by our people,
but they should be treated with and
shown the honors that is due to all cele
brities and representatives of foreign na-;
tions. .
~ Their stay in this country will be for
several weeks, but at no place where they
may visit will it be proper or in keeping
with polite custom for our people to un
dertake to use their presence feor any
thing other than that of social gatherings.
The Duke and the Duchess have been
termed “The Would’s Most Famous Lov
ers”, which title fits absolutely, and it
should be so recognized while they are on
a visit to the United States.
We hope that their stay in this country
will prove one round of pleasure for both
and that they will extend it so long as it
may meet with their desires and wishes.

DID IT EVER
OCCUR TO “U”
A LITTLE OF EVERYTHING—
» NOT MUCH OF ANYTHING
' By HUGH ROWE
There is a big crowd of
Georgia supporters going up
to Knoxville for the Georgia-
Tennessee football game which
will be played in that city
Saturday.
‘While the Bulldogs are crip
pled and some of their star play
ers will be out of the game, it
may be expected that the team
will give a good acount of itself
in the contest. Some Georgia
players have certainly met with
hard luck recently, but the other
members of the.team will fight the
harder to make up for the ab
sence of their mates from the
line-up. It will be a game worth
seeinz and every Georgia rooter
who possibly can, should be ir
the grandstand that afternoon
cheering for “Georgia.”
Another game that is at
tracting considerable attention
here is the Tech-Vanderbilt
game to be played in Atlanta
on Saturday afternoon.
‘While Tech did not make muct
of a showing last Saturday
against Auburn, there is no rea
son why this team should not
turn th® tables on Vanderbilt.
Tech has a splendid team and the
game last Saturday was just onc
of those “off days” which come tc
all teams during the season. Van
derbilt surprised themselves ir
running over L. 8. U. They did
not expect a victory, nor did any- |
one else for them, but it was jus’!
one of those happenings that wil'
oceur in football that no one ecar
figure out or explain, Howeverf
the game that Vanderbilt playec
should not be discounted. Thr
whole team played inspired bal’
and showed up good enough tc
rank with the best.
So much for football for to
day, being as we know so little
about the game. However, it
is our hobby and no one en
joys it more than we do,
whether our team wins or
loses,
; Of course, we feel a whole lo
better when our teams win. If wr
can have an Alabama and Georgi
victory Saturday, the day will be
a perfect one, =0 far as we arc
concerned. We are not expectec
to have everything in life just a
we plan it, but if both our team'
could win their games, ther
would be general rejoicing in ou
household that night. After all, °
may turn out that way. Wh
knows? Not even Harry Atwell o
Frank Johnson, and if anyon«
knows, they are the “best bet” we
have in mind.
Room for parking cars and
improvement in traffic condi
tions have grown to be prob
lems no one seems able to
solve, night or day.
Apout the only hope we can see
for remedying the parking evil is
for some enterprising citizen tc
open several parking lots in the
business district. This problem
has become a great :nconvenience
for out-of-town shoppers, whe
find parking space a problem. At
one time the hitching post and
the wagon yards served a good
purpose, but with the “horse and
buggy days” gone, the automobile
days are here and here to stay, so
we might as well recognize the
condition and provide parking lots

LIFE IN AN IRON LUNG
OUT of the NIGHT
BY MARION WHITE Copyright, 1937, NEA Service, Inc.
CAST OF CHARACTERS
Priscilla Pierce—heroine, young
woman attorney.
Amy Kerr—Cilly’s roommate and
murderer’s victim.,
Jim Kerrigan—Cilly’s fiance.
. Harry Hutchins—Amy’s strange
visitor.
~ Sergeant Dolan—officer assign
ed to solve the murder of Amy
Kerr,
Yesterday:” Harry Hutchins calls
on Priscilla and is rebuffed when
'he intimates Kerrigan was behind
the murder. Then as he leaves,
Cilly turns suddenly to her bed
room, begins rummaging through
her lower bureau drawer.
CHAPTER XXV.
" “This is a surprise,” Cilly said
tq the stalwart figure in the door
‘Way. “I didn’'t expect to see you
again today.” .
Sergeant Dolan peeled himself
out of his dripping raincoat and
nung it over the kitchen door.
“I didn't exrect to be here,” he
commented. “Enjoy the picture?”
“Very much, thank you. Except
that I missed some visitors by
being out this afternoon.”
Dolan looked at her shrewdly.
“So they muffed it, eh? Well, 1
:night have known , . .”
Cilly went about lighting the
table amps. It was growing dark
quickly. ; "
“So your afternoon was wasted?”
she asked.
© “As far as your apartment is
concerned, yes. But we had much
setter luck in other quarters.”
“Where?”
“At the Ralston.”
Cilly started. The Ralston hotel
was where Jim lived.
“Did Jim leave a forwarding
Iddress at the Ralston?”
“No. He wasn't quite so con
siderate.”
Cilly straightened a chair, sat
jown, a little fearful. “What did
you discover, then?” she inguired
hesitantly.
Dolan leaned forward.
“Remember what I told you
ibout the bonds stolen by Kerr's
‘ather from the Bluefields Nat
‘onal Bank? That they were still
nissing? Well, we got a thousand]
iollars’ ‘worth of them this after
noon in young Kerr's room at the
Ralston. Funny thing about it—
Martin searched that room thor
oughly on Monday afternoon, but
rou know the old saying: if you
want to hide something thorough- |
y, stick it right out where any- |
ody can see it. That's what
Kerr did. The bonds were put on
1 table, carelessly slipped into a
nagazine. Martin looked through
wvery crack and crevice of that
soom, into bureau drawers and
yetween the sheets. But he never
thought of going through the
nagazine; that was too obvious."J
A¥SA little too obvious, it seems |
0 me,” Cilly retorted. *“I'Il bet
someone put them there.”
“Who? Kerr, Senior, stole them;
lis son is here to dispose of them.
I don’'t know what miracle of fic
tion you saw this afternoon, but
‘don’t ask me to believe that ai
- dent of Kingston, Ontario, I
while visiting some friends in |
England, d-sired to send a ca- i
ble home, and having written
it out, handed it to a clerk in
the cable office.
“The clerk appeared to be rather
worried about it, and, after con
sulting various reference books.
said to the girl: “I can find Kings
ton-on-Hull and Kingston-on-
Thames, but I cannot locate
m-oi!-’rcflc ’ — Montreal
vindictive, vicious cleaning woman
slipped those bonds into the mag
azine.”
“] won’'t ask you to believe any
thing. You're determined to ac
cuse Jim Kegrigan, and you've a
one-track mind, sergeant.”
“Not at all. But when all the
evidence points to one man, we
can't overlook him because a cer
tain young lady has responded to
his personality.” -
“All the evidence does not point
to Jiny. "
“Ninety per cent of it does.
Kerr's been traveling outside the
law these past several months.
Naturaly, he didn’t want you to
know that, so to bargain with the
girl not to tell, he asked her to
meet him up on the roof, where re
probably hoped, if she didn’'t come
to terms, that she’'d accidently fall
off’?
“You told me she ‘was strangled
s o 0
“So she was. I didn't say he
took her up there deliberately to
kill her, [They were pretty close
to each other; perhaps he thought
ue could reason with her. Then
suddenly he lost his head. The
first thing he grabbed was a riece
of clothesline. Then, threw her off
the roof, hoping it would look like
an accident, I told you it'’s no new
thing for this young man to run
amuck. -At the trial out in Blue
fields they had several demonstra
tions of his wild temper. I've got
the complete file on the Kerr case,
if you want to come down and
checlkk up on it for yoursalf.” |
Cilly ‘'was staring out of the
window, watching the rain beat
against he glass. She turned, and
looked Dolan calmly in the eye.
“Perhaps I will, some day,” she
said with deliberation. “If you
' ever indict Jim Kerrigan for this
'murder, I'll defend him. And Il
'save him, Serseant Dolan, in spite
of you. There’s nothing I won’t
do to free Jim. . . .” |
Dolan frowned, surprised at the
fierce promise in her words. l
“It’s not a question of what you
can or will do, Miss Pierce,” he |
reminded her. “A jury usuallyl
decides 'whether a man’s guilty or
not. And with the evidence I've
got. . . . Wait! There's something]
else we found this afternoon atl
the Ralston.”
He aug into his coat pocket,
drew forth something wrapped in
paper. He handed it to Cilly—a
blue belt, a belt from a woman's
chiffon dress.
Cilly stifled the cry that came
to her lirs, her eyes staring hyp
notically at this new piece of evi
dance. The belt belonged to Amy
Kerr’s blue chiffon dress . . . the
one she had taken up on the roof
to air!
| “¥ou recognize it? *
ycmy did not, could rot, answer.
This was the last .straw, she
thought. This was the last link
iin the chain that ‘'was slowly,
surely binding Jim to the murder.
~ Her head spun madly; there was
a wild throbbing in her temples, a
choking in her throat. She tried
to think of an explanation, but
her thoughts were a whirlpool of
horror and despair . . , .
She was dimly conscious that
Dolan was still speaking; she
heard his vaoice, relentlessly pur
suing:*. . . found it in the pocket
of one of nis jackets . .. probably
wore it here. We have the dress
down at headquarters. You re
member the girl was holding it in
her hand . .".” But the words did
not register in her mind. = |
~ Suddenly the throbbing in her |
temples gave way to a sharp, in
| sistent ringing. Habit, more than
understanding, forced her to her
feet and propeled her to the tele
phone. Like a sleepwalker, she
picked up the receiver, mumbled a
mchanical “Hello.”
“Hello! Hello, Cilly, darling!”
Her heart stopred.
It was Jim's voice which came
over the wire to, her!
Jim was home again. Every.
thing would be all Arlght now , .
But would it? There was Ser
geant Dolan, seated not six feet
away, 'watching her like a ecat.
. « . Dolan who believed Jim guil~
ty in spite of everything . . .
Why, Jim wouldn’t have a
chance., Not now, with all this
new. evidence piling up. .’ .
“Hello!” Cilly said again, me=
chanicalily, just to hold the cone
nection. She was afraid to say
more. Here was Jim, whose voice
she’d prayed to hear evsary minute
of the past few days, and she
couldn’t sreak to him! Al she
could think of ‘wak that Jim
mustn’t come back yet. He
couldn’t be found wuntil she could
disprove some of the damning evi
dence against him . . . e
“Hello! Cilly, what's the mat
ter? Can’t you hear me?”
“Hello.” She said it a third time,
stupidly, tonelessly. Dolan would
think it was a wrong number.
+ . « If only her knees wouldn’t
shake so! o 5 i
“Cilly!” Jim’s voice again. “J
just got in from Newark Airport.
I'm at the Pennsylvania. I'll come
right over . . .”
Instantly, Cilly found her voice.
The words tumbled from her lips,
fast and decisive, before Dolan
could get their full meaning: “You
mustn’t do that. They're waiting
to get you, here in my apartment.”
She slammed the receiver back on
its hook.
Dolan was on his feet hnmedi
ately, fire in his eye.
“Who was that?”’ he demanded.
Cilly did not answer. :
“So!” he shouted. “You have no
idea where the fellow is, but he’s
near enough to keep in touch with
you by telerhone. Well, we'll take
care of that, young lady. You're
coming with me, as. a material
witness, and I'll put some one. else
in your apartment to take future
messages.”
