Flyer Queen Mary, at 64 Senator Borah laughs at "dull minds" that object to doing business with Russia, and advises us to go after the Russian trade, that European nations are all seeking. Mr. Borah points out that the success of th Russian fivs-yeplan Is largely an American success. "Over three thousand of our able engineers and industrial managers are over there. Over $200,000,000 credit Is being extended. General Motors, General Electric, Ford and are many wealthy corporations .. Tf . f tIVH''. '' -- "f 1 l ar there."

Dr. Will Durant, In his "Adven- tures In Genius," names the ten greatest thinkers In the world's his tory, and the ten greatest poets." When OTiO deloKiitPs, represontlne 111 gnrden clubs from Maine to California, attended the annual meeting of tlie Garden Mub of America at Glen Cove, L. I., Mrs. Harold Irving 1'ratt, president of the North Country Garden club of Long Island, entertained the guests at tea and at the same time her garden of azaleas nJ tulips was adjudged the best In achievement for 1031. For this honor Mrs. I'ratt received the Emily B. lCenwIck niedul.

The damage was estimated at $30,00(1... It was announced that the show would be given anyhow. Dedication of the Floyd Bennett Airport He Includes Voltaire among the thinkers, and might have perhaps taken Voltaire's advice, deflnissons nos termes, which means that when we use a word we should be definite about Its meaning. What does Mr. Durant mean by "greatest thinkers?" Does he mean most nseful? Probably not. If he did he would put Archimedes In place of Plato, Pasteur In place of St. Thomas Aquinas, Fulton In place of Immanuel Kant, Stephenson, to whom we owe the locomotive, In place of Aristotle. Captain Hawks, champion Ameriflyer, had his breakfast in London, luncheon in Berlin, and dinner in Paris. The crowd welcoming him at Le Bourget, the Paris flying field, called him "America's Meteor Man." He flew from London to Berlin in three hours and 15 minutes, spent an hour and 27 minutes in Berlin, plenty of time for luncheon, and flew from Berlin to Paris for his dinner, in three hours and five minutes. The Queen of England was 64 years old recently, and the British Empire rejoices at her good health. Well it may.

Bostwick Is a millionaire in his own right, the young society man nevertheless risks his neck daily during the racing season by riding as a Jockey In the steeplechase events. He Is considered not only the best amateur or gentleman rider, but the best of any class Including the professional too.

F. Swift, president of the big packing- company, that "beef prices are now the lowest since September, 1926." Housewives should demand that retail butchers charge proportion ately reasonable prices. This Is said in the Interest of retailers and consumers, and par ticularly of the farmers that raise cattle. Prices are so low that live stock producers, making no profit, are abandoning or minimizing stock raising. If that continues there will come a shortage, with much higher prices, harmful to retailers and consumers.' Retailers should hand on to consumers the benefit of lower prices. And the public should remember that good meat is essential to vigorous health. There is no substitute for It. 5 t ; ff V r1 !

This The latest British air news re calls the statement of Lieutenant Williams of our navy, "Americans talk fast and fly slowly. The British talk slowly and fly rapidly." In trial flight at Calshot a British pilot recently attained a speed be yond the world's record, also Brit ish, of 357.7 miles an hour. The English "supermarine" firm has built two machines expected to do better than 400 miles an hour. The United States will not com pete in the European speed race, with France, Italy and England. That is Just as well, for we should only be ridiculous in that race. $ . ' Others may be foolish; she never will be, and she will make no concession to foolishness. No woman can appear at her court with aggressively visible, shiny knees, like "beaded hubbies, winking at the brim." A good deed, "in a naughty world," shines to a considerable distance. A good queen, in a foolish age, is a pleasing light to the British Empire. General Ton Ludendorff predicts another European war in July, "more ferocious and disastrous than the World War." England, allied with Italy, would attack and blockade France. Fortunately, it is only a nightmare. England knows too much about the size of the French air fleet to undertake any blockading, now out of date so far as Europe is concerned. French airmen would fly over the British ships, sink them, on tha way, and move on to destroy Lon don, Liverpool and Manchester. To say, as Ludendorff does, that the next war will be worse than the last, Is to discuss an uncertainty. We don't know yet how bad the last war was. And shall not know until this depression, born of that war, is ended. W. W.

BEAT THE TELEGRAM Ham and Eggs for Three Thousand .JfM 1 By a margin of several minutes, Capt. Frank M. Hawks, flying from London to Berlin, beat a telegram announcing the time of his start, which London authorities sent to Berlin at the moment of his takeoff. The flying distance from London to Berlin is approximately 600 miles. By making it In two hours and 57 minutes, Captain Hawks broke all records. It takes ordinary passenger planes six and a half hours flying time. Monrovia, Calif., celebrated its forty-fift- h birthday with a big fiesta and play day, every business house being closed. A feature was the community breakfast of ham and eggs served to 3,000 persons. General Dawes' Son and His Bride Wi,uJ.nil.
