The comparatively short route across
the "top of the world" from America
to Europe is the course to be flown
by Bert Hassell (right), of Rockford,
111. Some time in June he is -to take
off from his home town on a one
stop flight to Stockholm, Sweden. He
will fly across Ontario, past the tip
of Hudson bay, thence to Greenland
where he will land. The second hop
will be across Iceland and on to the
Scandinavian peninsula. Aeronauti
cal authorities say the trip is not
hazardous, since the longest of the
three ocean jumps will be only 528
miles. Hassell’s course is traced on
the map at the top. The University
of Michigan’s Greenland expedition
now in the arctic has made arrange
ments for his landing and refueling
there.
OHIO SENATOR
A CLASS MATE
WITH GILMORE
Douglas Man Recalls That
Frank Willis Won Honors
At Graduation in 1893
News of the sudden death, last night,
of Senator Frank B. Willis, of Ohio,
came to one Douglas man with a sing- (
ular force because of the long and
intimate acquaintance that had existed
between them. That was W. G. Gil
more, attorney, who was a classmate]
of the late Senator Willis when they
were in college. at the Ohio Northern
1 university at Ada, Ohio, from which
: they graduated in the class of 1893.
“To bad, too, bad,” said Mr. Gilmore!
speiaking of the news of Jhe death of
Senator Willis. “The senator and I
were classmates and secured our di
ploma at the same time. Singularly
enoguh, Frank, as we knew him then,
and I were college boys when Prof.
■ Simeon D. Fess was a teacher of his
; tory in that college and both of us |
i were students in the professor’s class.
| Now Professoh Fess is a member of
the U. S. seriate "and was junior sen-
I ator while Frank Willis had enjoyed;
| the distinction of being a member of
the upper house for several years.!
Senator Willis was a bright student, j
j and took one of the three honors at j
I commencement that gained a speaker’s
position on the program. He stood
! fell in the college circles and always
had many friends.
“We never say eye to eye in politics,
but that did not prevent me from
recognizing ability in my college mate
and friend and it is with keen regret
that I learn his career has been ended
by death.”
FILIBUSTER ON
SWING-JO HN SON
BILL THREATENS
WASHINGTON, March 30 VP)—With
a threat of another filibuster against
the Swing-Johnson Boulder dam bill
Senator Ashurst, of Arizona, demo
crat, served notice in the senate today
that his state’s representatives in
congress would fight to the last ditch
to prevent passage of the pleasure.
Denouncing the bill as the “most
sinister, the most adroit” attempt
ever made to override the sovereign
rights of a state, Ashurst declared
that if senators intended to press the
proposal to a vote they had better
take options on overcoats “because
we will be here till the ides of
November.”
Ashurst led the filibuster that kept
the bill from reaching a vote in the
closing days of the Jast session.
He said that propaganda had been
“industriously circulated” in the sen
ate that Arizona had agreed to the
bill which would provide for con
struction of a huge dam on the
Colorado river.

Prussia Honors Centenarians
With Cup and Saucer Gifts
BERLIN VP)—Prussian official
dom is on the still hunt for een
tenuriansi.
The Prussian ministry has asked
the authorities throughout the state
to make it their special business to
keep informed on approaching hun
dredth birthday anniversaries, and
to advise the ministry in time.
The reason for this is that the
Prussian premier always sends a
special letter of congratulations to
men and women passing the hun
dredth milestone. With the letter
goes a “gift of honor” in the shape
of a cup and saucer from the Prus
sian state porcelain factory.
Often in the past the government
did not learn of the event in time
to send the congratulations and the
gift on the actual birthday.
How hardy a stock the German i
race is, may be judged from the
fact that during 1927 alone, 25
cups were distributed to centenar
ians.

TWO LOSE LIVES
AS PLANE BURNS
IN CALIFORNIA
]
LOS ANGELES, March 30 VP)—Two
persons were burned to death, and
the plane in which they were riding
was virtually destroyed in midair
' when it burst into flames while flying
over Compton, a suburb, shortly after
dark tonight.
j The two passengers were burned
beyond recognition, the police said,
and there was scarcely enough of
the plane left when it struck the
! ground to determine what type of
1 machine it was. A check of airports
J was ordered as a possible means of
identifying the fliers and i their plane.
| Residents of the suburban town
| said the plane was heard droning
I overhead when there was an explosion
and a flaming mass started plunging
• to fcarth.
j Observers said the passengers of the
I craft were given no chance to leap
1 to safety even had they been’ equipped
I with parachutes. The bodies, were
I virtually cremated when taken from
•I the still burning wreckage of the
I plane. Several persons who led the
j attempt to reach the bodies in the
1 smoldering wreckage received minor
! burns.
PARIS TEARS DOWN
OLD “FLOP HOUSE”
FARIS VP)—“The Golden Grape,”
nearly the last of the notorious
“flop houses” of Paris, has disap
peared. It was a “hotel” without
beds, where men slept hanging over j
suspended ropes if they didn’t like
I the floor, or if there was not room
on it.
Mi&erable humanity by the hun
dreds sought its warmth and shelter
on cold nights, although the
warmth was mostly furnished by
their own bodies. A few cents ad
mitted them.
The sleeping rope j were suspend
ed irom wall to wall about four j
l’eet high. The men rested their!
chests on them, allowing their arms j
to hang down, and there slept. The!
tall men stood at the ends and the
short, ones at the center, where the
ropes sagged. At daybreak the
ropes were dropped, and so were
the men, which was the “hotel’s”
way of calling them early.
Shoots in Court |
When Chief of Police H. L. Blake of]
Columbiana, Ala., was found not!
guilty of murder in the death of i
Louise Monteabaro, who died of a
bpllet wound after her arrest, Mrs.
| Mabel Monteabaro (above), the girl’s
mother, fired at the chief and Mrs.
Monttabaro’s sister stabbed him in the
neck in the courtroom at Columbiana
svhere the trial was held. Pending the
outcome of Blake’s condition, Mrs.
Monteabaro is being held on a charge
of assault with intent to murder.

DON’T BE HEALTH CARELESS
How well you protect your family’s health depends to a groat
extent upon the meat you buy
IYour government, with the health of the nation at stake, employs
Meat Inspectors and gives them authority to condemn ana de
stroy unwholesome and unhealthy meats.
Meats with the Inspector’s stamp costs no more than meat pro*
duced in insanitary slaughter houses.
The very least you can do to protect the health of your loved
ones is to find the nearest market selling U. S. Government In
spected Meats, and demand to see the Inspector’s purple stamp
when you buy.
