THE FLYING MOLLISONS.
Although they crashed and
Were both slightly injured in
landing in Connecticut, the east
to west flight of James and Amy
Johnson Mollison across the At-
lantic should be classed as a suc-
cess. This couple have added a
remarkable joint accomplish-
to their notable individual rec-
ords as long distance flyers.
Before her marriage Amy
Johnson had flown alone from
London to Australia; from Lon-
don to Tokyo; from England to
South Africa, and had made
many other flights which com-
pare with the best feats of men
aviators. This year she was
awarded the Seagrave Memo-
rial, England’s most coveted
aviation trophy, heretofore
awarded only to men.
Mollison is the first man to
twice make the difficult east to
west crossing of the Atlantic,
and the only man to make it
alone. He has also flown from
England to Capetown, South Af-
rica; from England to Austral-
ia; from England to Egypt;
from India to England, and from
England to Brazil by way of
Africa.
Mollison is 28 and his wife is
23. They were married on July
29, 1932. He is a native of
Glasgow, Scotland, and joined
the Royal Air Force when he
was 18. Before taking up avia-
tion Mrs. Mollison was a Lon-
don typist.
In a year of many record-
breaking feats in aviation the
Mollisons’ trans-Atlantic flight
will be listed among the great-
est.

The subject of how to live
long is always of interest, which
perhaps accounts for the eager-
ness of the average mortal to
seize upon various methods
which are recommended for pro-
moting health and longevity,
such as doing daily exercise to
radio music and the like.
However, there are many who
are skeptical regarding the real
benefits of strenuous physical
activity. One of these wrote a
letter to the Cleveland Press,
pointing out that Walter Camp
famed athlete and originator of
the “daily dozen,” died at 65,
while he, the writer, had never
taken any kind of exercise to
speak of and was still in excel-
lent health, although a great-
grandfather. He added that
“the longest-lived people are the
physically lazy but mentally
alert.”
CHEVROLET BUILDS 80,250
NEW CARS DURING JULY
►>
The largest July production
since 1929, nearly trebling the
output for the corresponding
month last year, was achieved
by Chevrolet when the company
built 80,250 new cars and trucks
in the month just ended, W. S.
Knudsen, president and general
manager, has announced.
This compared with 32,281
built last July and with 81,562
in June of this year, which was
the highest production month
since early 1931, Mr. Knudsen
stated. The current July was
the fourth largest July in the
21-year history of the company.

William Feather,
editor, declares
years ago he adopted a vigorous
health program, including veg-
etarianism, cold baths and the
daily dozen, with this result:
“Acute indigestion led to the
abandonment of vegetarianism
on doctor’s orders. Another
doctor recommended discontin-
uance of cold baths. The daily
dozen are still pursued, but faith
in them has been shaken by the
untimely death of their inven-
tor.”
Still, we may find many who
swear by the health fads and
feel that their lives have been
saved thereby. As the proverb
has it, “What is food for some
is black poison to others.”

CONFEDERATE CABINET.
While the Confederate gov-
ernment under President Jeffer-
son Davis was in existence only
a little more than four years on-,
ly one cabinet officer—Stephen
R. Mallory, secretary of the na-
vy—served throughout the en-
tire period.
During the same time there
were three secretaries of state,
Toombs, Hunter and Benjamin;
three secretaries of the treas-
ury, Memminger, Trenholm and
Reagin; six secretaries of war,
Walker, Benjamin, Randolph,
Smith, Seddon, Breckenridge;
two postmaster-generals, Ellet
and Reagan, and four attorney-
generals, Benjamin, Bragg, Da-
vis and Watts.
Judah P. Benjamin of Lousi-
ana went into the cabinet inl861.
as attorney-general, was secre-
tary of war for a short time in
1862, and was made secretary of
labor in the same year, serving
as such to the end. John H.
Reagan of Texas served as post-
master-general from 1861 until
1865, when he became the Con-
federacy’s last secretary of the
treasury.
President Davis, who had
been secretary of war of the
United States from 1853 to 1857
appears to have had difficulties
with his own secretaries of war,
whom, as numbered above, he
had six,

OUR AMAZING HELEN.
For the sixth time, Mrs. Helen
Wills Moody won the woman’s
tennis singles at Wimbledon,
England, a few days ago, play-
ing the finals against Miss Dor-
othy Round, a little English girl
who gave the world’s champion
one of the hardest battles of her
career.
Since 1926 the California star
has dominated the women’s ten-
nis world, and she has been the
American champion almost con-
tinuously since 1923.
Born in Centerville, Califor-
nia, in 1906, Helen Wills became
the women’s antiona! champion,
shortly before her 17th birth-
day. She was graduated from
the University of California in
1927, and married Frederick S.
Moody, Jr., of San Francisco in
1929. She will be 27 on Octo-
ber 6, and doubtless has many
more championships before her.
Besides her unequalled skill as
a tennis player, Mrs. Moody is
an accomplished artist, a collec-
tion of her paintings and draw -
ings having been exhibited in
the Grand Central Galleries in
New York in 1930.
America is proud of this
amazing girl, whose brilliant re-
cord, both in this country and in
Europe, marks her as the great-
est woman tennis player of all
time.

FARM YOUTH PROGRESS.
regulations to alter the way of
the world, whether Democratic
or Republican, will look for no
more consideration in the long
run than the whole story of hu-
man nature points out as the
probable expectation.
The crash of the Mollison
plane in Connectitcut, after a
successful crossing of the At-,
lantic is to be regretted, but the
fliers at least escaped with their
lives, which perhaps is better
than the martyr’s soon forgot-
ten glory. Such names as Nun-
gesser, Hamilton, Tully, Payne
and Grayson do not mean. much.
The persons who bore them sim-
ply are set down as “never
heard from,” after an attempt to
cross the Atlantic, and are put
out of mind. The Mollisons are
here and are likely to be heard
from, again. Colonel Lindbergh
made it, but within a short time
thereafter he was heard from in
a most distressing way. Maybe
if he had known during his suc-
cessful flight what was ahead of
him he qould have welcomed a
quiet grave in the sea. Aviators
appear to be marked for woe, of
one kind or another. The point
to be remembered is that in that
respect they are not very differ-
ent from the rest of mankind.

HER DAUGHTER'S
i LIFE AT STAKE
Jane Fair, six years old, was play-
ing in the yard. A defective plank
covering the cistern snapped. The
little girl plunged into the well.
Mrs. Fair heard Jane scream. She
telephoned for help. Firemen ar-
rived in the nick of time. Jane has
recovered.*
Often in emergencies a telephone
is priceless. It is always ready to
summon aid, as well as run errands,
call on neighbors, visit those who
are ill.
You can buy few things which
cost so little and are worth so much.

farm and home work, according
to a recent announcement of the
Department of Agriculture, that
shows more demonstrations had
been conducted by young peo-
ple’s clubs than by those of the
adult classes.
Considerably more than half a
million farm boys and girls are
now participating in these dem-
onstrations, which include the
various crops, animal husband-
ry, handling of poultry, food
preparation, designing of wear -
ing apparrel, home improve-
ment and beautification, and in
fact every phase of rural life.
Instruction in these activities,
imparted by farm and homo
demonstration agents, serves to
aid these boys and girls in. im-
proving rural farm and home
practices, thereby fitting them.

attention, yet it might be a good
plan to recall a fact or two from
Ethiopia’s history. She was a

King Solomon’s time, a couple of
thousand years before the peo-
ple of Europe, clad in wolfskin
breechclouts, were skipping
through the forests in an at-
tempt to get away from the Ro-
man legions under Julius Cae-
sar. If an ancient heritage
means anything, Ethiopia is en-
titled to look on Germany, Eng-
land and the United States as
families that have just moved
in. __

While the enrollment and re-

gratifying, considering the cir-
