BEVERLY HILLS, Cal, March 14.
—Sure the army said they could
fly the malls. Be a fine army that
would say, “No sir, Mrs. President,
we can’t fly 'em." If my movie com-
pany says, “We are producing
Shakespeare, how about it?” Yea
sir. I can't do it like the Barry-
mores. but I will give it an awful
tussle. The Romeo part may
groundloop me, but I will take old
Hairnet over the mountains on the
darkest night. And tomorrow It the
President calls in the Navy and
says, “Can you relieve the form-
er?” That admiral will say, “Yes
sir, the ships will be ready at 12
o’clock to take him off the farm.”

STATES UNIFIED AIR POLICY
Every governmental division in
any way interested in aeronautical
questions is to be called on to make
a study and report so the entire
question can be studied by an in-
dividual, or commission, for crea-
tion of an up-to-date co-ordinated
plan.---:------------
■ President Roosevelt is satisfied
the present governmental aeron-
autic set-up does not work and has
determined that a definite, efficient,
workable plan of unified control be
worked out and put into practice.
The special committee named by
Secretary of War Dern, and Head-
ed by Major General H. A. Drum,
assistant chief of staff, has already
started a survey of the army ate
corp* with particular reference, at
the present time, to the carrying
of ate mail by the army.
Other Surveys.
Other surveys to be worked into
the unified and coordinated plan
are to be made by the navy, marine
corps, department of commerce,
customs, and bureau of internal rev-
enue.
Orville Wright, Inventor of the
airplane, today Informed Secretary
Dern that, because of illness, he
would be unable to serve on the spe-
cial committee.
Colonel Clarence Chamhberlain,
transatlantic flier, telegraphed his
acceptance to the War Department
and let it be known he will come
to Washington whenever the com-
mittee meets
No answer has as yet been receiv-
ed from Colonel Charles A. Lind-
bergh, the third civilian member of

Some of the hound-dog hunters
are elated over the find of a red fox
in Denton County, as they thought
that about the only fox left here
now were of thp gray variety. Bud
Duncan, owner of one of the best
pack of dogs, as well as owner and
prognosticator by the watch-chain
route, says they found and chased
one of the biggast red fox he had
, ever seen to Denton County. When
, asked if they caught him, he sorto’
disgustingly replied, ' - course
not what do you think we want
t spoil all our fun in the future
2 for." He never admitted that the
dogs couldn’t have caught the wan’
fox, as the red fox is one of the
fastest and longest runners that
hound dogs go after.
