NEWS REVIEW OF
CURRENT EVENTS
Capt. Lindbergh Is Recipient
of Unprecedented Honors
in France.
HE notable event of the week end-
ing May 27 was the completion of
Capt. Charles Lindbergh's successful
crossing by airplane from New York
to Paris at 10:21, Paris time, Satur-
day night, May 21, after 33 hours 29
minutes in the alr.
Paris gave the intrepid American
fiver a wildly enthusiastic reception,
in which thére was no evidence of the
reported enmity for American con-
testants In this transoceanic alr race
that had resulted in the loss of two
French fiyers, Captains Nungesser and
Coll. From the moment his plane came
to a stop on Le Bourget flying fleld,
just outside the French capital, he be-
came the acclaimed hero of the clv-
{lized world. In Paris no such tumul-
tuous scenes have been witnessed since
the signing of the armistice at the
cloge of the World war, and for the
week following the landing he has
been sought for and feted by all
him an invitation to be his guest at
tended him an invitation to visit him
in London, organizations of many
ing host to him; the French govern-
ment conferred upon him the medal
of the Legion of Honor. From Captain
Lindbergh's own countrymen came
hundreds of offers of employment at
fabulous salaries. Mutlon picture pro.
ducers, vaudeville theater managers,
managers of lecture courses, offered
large sums for his services, and if he
wishes, it is estimated that he could
within the next twelve months easily
make a million dollars as a result of
his heroic exploit. 80 far he has re-
fused to consider any of the offers, as-
serting that he had no idea of com-
mercializing the flight which he made
solely for the purpose of advancing the
science of aviation.
It is not known at this writing when
he will return to America. Before do-
ing so he will accept the Invitation
from the kings of Belgium and Eng.
land and will visit Stockholm and
other European cities. The United
States government has offered to bring
him back on board a battleship as the
guest of the American people and it Is
probable that he will accept this invi-
tation,
Captain Lindbergh covered the dis
tance from San Diego, Calif. to Paris
-8.725 miles—In actual flying time of
58 hours and 46 minutes. He left
San Diego, Calif., on the afternoon of
May 10 and arrived in St. Louls—1,600
miles-~the next day. After a rest there
he hopped to New York—000 miles—
crossing the American continent In an
actual fiying time of 23 hours and 15
minutes. After a few days’ rest he
started from New York to Paris—
3,600 miles. This is a new world's rec.
ord for nonstop straight line distance,
the previous record being 3,400 miles.
NOTHER event of Importance In
the field of aviation was the at-
tempted flight of the Italian aviator,
Francesco de Pinedo, from Newfound
land to the Azores islands, a distance
of 1,200 miles. He left Trepassey Bay,
N. F., Monday morning, May 23, but
became lost In the fog and landed on
the ocean some 300 miles from his
objective point and his plane was
towed into port by a salling vessel
that had picked him up.
MOVE of unusual importance in
the fleld of International relations
was the break between Great Britain
and Soviet Russia following the rev.
elations resulting from the raiding by
the British government of Arcos, Ltd,
the Russian trading company operat-
ing in England, and the official Soviet
trade delegation. In the house of com-

In his address the prime minister
referred at length to the documentary

network of Bolshevist plots in Eng-

“In the face of these breaches of
the trade agreement and International
comity, his majesty’'s government has
shown patience and forbearance which
is probably without »arallel.
“Diplomatic relations when thus de
liberately and systematically abused
are in themselves a danger to peace,
and his majesty's government there
fore has Mdded that unless the house
expresses disapproval on Thursday, the
government will terminate the trade

“The Soviet government itself &an

action of the trade delegation and the
prime minister continued, "but the

Lowest Egg Prices.
A study of the trend In the average

shows that the lowest wholesale egg
prices prevall in April, and that there
is a slight Increase in July and August, |
ginning in September. The highest

Ability to Lay Eggs.
The ability to lay eggs is Inherited.
To develop an egg-laying strain re-
quires careful selection and the adop-
tion of a consistent breeding policy.
The average farm hen should not only
lay at least 144 eggs In a year but
most of them should be lald from Oec-
tober to Masch, This can be asccom-
plished by bullding vp the flock from
selected females that have these char
acters and with males produced by
such females. Four guides to improve
ment are the selecting each year of
{1) those hens which mature early;
(2) those which lay best after they
begin: (3) those which seldom go
broody ; and (4) those which lay well
throughout the late summer and fall
Furthermore it is Important to hatch
the chicks as early as possibie.
[nereasing Demand for

As there Is a growing demand for
good capons at top prices, a few of

[Important That Chicks
Be Confined Near Stove
It Is Important that chicks be con.
fined near the brooder stove when
they are first put into the brooder.
This may be done by putting a wire |
screen around the brooder so that the
chicks cannot get out of the warmth
until they have learned to go where
the hent sults them best. If there is
any floor draft it is advisable to make
lar material. After such a retainer is
removed, the corners of the brooder
house should be rounded off with

FACTS
about used car
allowances
Most new car sales now in-
volve the trading-in of a
buyer’s used car. More and
more people are asking:
“Why should my used car
seem to have several val-
ues? .... Why should deal-
ers in’ different makes of
cars offer me allowances
differing materially?....
Does the largest allowance
offered mean the best deal
for me?”
Here are basic facts:
Your used car has seemingly
different values because com-
petitive dealers are bidding to sell
you a new car.
Your used car has only one
fundamental basis of value:
what the dealer who accepts it in
trade can get for it in the used car
market.
The largest trade-in allowance
which is offered on your used
car is not necessarily the best deal
for you. Sometimes it is; but some-
times it is not.
An excessive allowance may
mean that you are paying an
excessive price for the new car in
comparison with its real value.
Judge the merits of the new
car in comparison with its
price, including all delivery and
finance charges. Then weigh any
difference in allowance offered on
your used car.
HEN YOU are ready to trade-
in your present car, remem-
ber that after all you are making a
. purchase and not a sale. You are
buying a new car and simply
applying your present car as a
credit toward the purchase price
of a new car.
