The English somehow manage to pick a jury for even the most sensational murder trial in half an hour or so. It is very hard to see why we can not do as well. If more judges would adopt the hard-boiled attitude displayed by Judge Boyne, we might be able to better our record considerably. A Chance To Learn ft M- Caii iman.

PER TEA sa.es Commander Charles E. Rosendahl asks the navy to permit the de-commissioned dirigible Los Angeles to be used for an extensive series of test flights while the government is determining its future policy with regard to lighter-than-air craft. Commander Rosendahl declares that the Los Angeles was removed from service as an economy measure and not because it had ceased to be airworthy. It is his idea that the big ship would make an excellent flying laboratory in which the navy might find out many things that would enable it to decide wisely about the future of dirigibles. There seems to be a good deal of sense in his proposal.

There is still reason to suspect that our airship tragedies might have been prevented if we had known as much about building and flying the big ships as the Germans do. Properly used, the Los Angeles might help us to gain that knowledge. 1 MUquetoast with an MEMBER OP THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The Aeeociateo Press is exclusively entitled to the ust POE REPUELICATION OP ALL NEWS DISPATCHES CREDITED TO IT DR NOT OTHERWISE CREDITED IN THIS PAPER AND ALSO THE LOCAL (EWS PUBLISHED THEREIN.

SATURDAY, AUGUST 3, 1935 Mussolini has ordered Italians to cross the Atlantic in Italian liners. At any rate, those Italians whom he lets cross the Atlantic. A soap company reports it has made a clean profit of 19 million dollars in the last 12 months.

Now no more dirty remarks! Too, a girl silhouetted at Hicks fountain, churning her drink with a spoon and swinging the glass in circles to get the last mixed drop. Darting thought: Soda Jerkers have studied 50 years and the Confectioner's Journal has given recipes of millions of drinks with palate pleasing names, but no one has beaten the good old chocolate ice cream soda.

New Heights In Sight For Plane Industry Uncle Sams Bureau of Air Commerce is going to continue with its efforts to develop a foolproof airpiane that the ordinary man can fly without risking his neck.

Eugene L. Vidal, director of the bureau, made this clear in a speech before the recent convention of the National Association of Aviation Editors in Detroit; and after he had made his speech, all hands went out to a flying field to have a look at a freakish new plane that had been built to meet these specifications. This plane cannot go into a stall and fall off on one wing the prelude to a tailspin, which accounts for fully 70 per cent of all accidents to private flyers. It cannot nose over when it is landed, no matter how unskillfully the job Is done. The rawest pupil flyer can take it off the ground and get it down again Without cracking up.

Just what may happen to this plane in the course of further tests is, of course, problematical. It may develop new bugs quite as dangerous as jthe old ones which it seems to have dodged. But it is clear that it represents a long step In the right direction, and Mr. Vidals campaign is amply justified. The ordinary citizen does not often have occasion to ride in one of the great transport planes.

When he does, he gets a good, safe ride, to be sure; but if aviation is ever to assume in his life a place comparable to that which the automobile now holds, the kind of plane desired by Mr. Vidal will have to be perfected. Todays planes are practically foolproof in the hands of expert flyers. But John Citizen has neither the time nor the money to make an expert out of himself, and as. long as it takes highly specialized skill to fly.

a plane he is going to pass it by. What he needs is a truly foolproof plant; one which approaches the automobile in safety and simplicity of operation. Let such a plane be put on the market at a moderate price $700 is the figure Mr. Vidal aims at and the airplane industry will make the same kind of sensational leap ahead that the auto industry made a couple of decades ago. There are great possibilities in this.

Flying is Incomparably the greatest sport ever devised. Let it be made available to the ordinary man on the same sort of terms that motoring is now available, and the whole course of human living will be profoundly altered. The oldest and vainest day-dream of the race would suddenly come true. Montgomery opens its three day engagement. Produced by Irving Thalberg, the picture is brilliantly mounted and.

expensively framed. Under Edward H. Griffins direction the A. E. Thomas stage play has developed into a swift, hilarious screen vehicle.

With Joan Crawford cast as a oeautiful young modern, and Montgomery as a charming Lothario, the picture is set against lavish New York and Westchester County backgrounds. Closely following the play In theme It is a penetrating study, told with irresistible humor, of the problems of a 1935 wife who suspects her husband of unfaithfulness. Along with the co-stars, sagaciously cast, is the tremendous array of talent implicit in such featured players as Cnarlie Ruggles, Fran-chot Tone, Edna May Oliver, Gail Patrick and Reginald Denny. East, spirited and very funny, the story builds rapidly to a climax of pure humor, to a party which will go down in screen history as one of the funniest parties ever filmed. Without revealing too much of the plot.

It should be explained that Marcia (Joan Crawford), suspecting her husband, Sherry Montgomery,) decides to invite all his ex-sweethearts to their home for a week-end. The resultant party, and its denouement, will cause you to chuckle for a long while after you've left the theatre. A half dozen women smoking In a single block. Not one self-conscious. I remember my father returning from New York to tell the old Nestors on his hotel verandah of Rosina Yokes smoking a cigar, lighting the wrong end so the wrapper unrolled.

It was supposed to be the. funniest thing on the stage. Rosina Yokes was a cult. Like Cornell, B. Lillie and Tallulah.

One must be in advance of 50 to remember. Beatrice Herford once opened a Rosina Vokes theatre. There were Rosina Vokes clgara, hats, etc. The five-and-ten building that covers the Wendell acreage Is undergoing the finishing touches. More than London Tower, the venerable mansion was cloaked In gloom.

There was a knothole in the high spiked fence where the pedestrian could see the asthmatic dog Toby in Its several million dollar playground. Shutters flapped In the wind, dim lights flickered mysteriously at windows and now and then late at night a shawled Wendell sister would peep furtively out the door and scurry to drop a letter In the corner box. A sepulchral haunt made for mystery makers. Poe would have loved it. WASHINGTON LETTER BY WILLIS THORNTON A plan is afoot among certain important Democratic politicians to pay their respects to Huey Long in a big way when the partys national convention comes along next summer.

Hie plan is to turn down Huey and his whole delegation, and to seat instead a set of opposition pro-Roosevelt delegates. It is a foregone conclusion, of course, that Long will go to the convention with a delegation held in the hollow of his hand, chosen under his supervision and subject to his will. His complete capture of the election machinery in Louisiana assures that. Insofar as any of the election machinery is legal in Louisiana these days, it will be entirely legal, too. The claim will be made that Huey has destroyed democratic process by his dictatorship, and an effort made to exclude his entire delegation on that ground.

Meanwhile, a set of Farley-Roosevelt delegates will appear, according to this plan, and will be seated. This, if it comes off, would be a humorous reversal of the procedure in 1932, when Long appeared with a delegation which he pledged to Roosevelt. Another set of Louisiana delegates had at least as good a claim to be seated, but these could not be depended upon. Hueys merry men got the seats and plumped for Roosevelt as promised. This time the shoe will be on the other foot, and Huey may find himself on the outside looking in.

"If that happened you would find him blustering and bolting, perhaps even trying to set up a rump convention. But it would hurt him, just the same. Representative Wright (Bonus Boy) Patman is not getting to first base with his efforts to get the American Legion investigated by Congress, or to oust the present leadership for new officers who see bonus matters through his eyes. Despite the Legions less-than-brilliant showing in the recent bonus fight, its organization is too strong to give Patmans hopes any foothold. The testimony of just one more newspaperman on the presidents apparent physical and mental fitness might not be worth much, except for whatever perspective comes from seeing him only at intervals instead of regularily, as do the Washington correspondents.

But here it is, based on attending current White House news conferences after six months or more of absence from the Washington scene. The president looks well and fit. The outdoor tan he showed a year ago is somewhat faded, as the long session has kept him inside, too. There is still an air of cordiality, informality, and frankness that is without precedent, though naturally some of the novelty has worn off for both the man behind the desk and the reporters in front of it. But the presidential manner maintains a freshness, a vigor, and an enthusiasm that is phenomenal after a long two-year grind and at the end of a dragged-out and disappointing session of Congress.

The acme of absurdity in the whispering campaign about the presidents health was reached in the claim that the Democrats started it all themselves just to create sympathy for the president. Political slants, both causes and effects, have probably been exaggerated. People retail these ghastly stories because they get a cheap thrill out of telling or hearing them, not because they expect a definite political result. Personal reaction; I wish I felt as well as the president appears to feel these hot days.

He marries Nancy Car-roll, an actress, on the enthusiastic sur-misal that he will whip the world in six months. He and his bride come to New York where Brents proudly presented letters of introduction bring only offers of menial Jobs, which he will not acept. Their finances dwindling rapidly the furniture repossessed, and themselves forced to rent a cheap hall room, the young couple turn to whatever occupations are at hand.

Its a job many ladies of other days seek, a way to hide.

People only glance at a chambermaid. On Whom Lives Rest There died in Los Angeles the other day William P. Mulholland, veteran rydraulic engineer; and the accounts of his death said that he never recovered from the shock caused by the collapse of the St. Francis Dam, seven years ago. Mr.

Mulholland, recognized as one of the countrys greatest engineers, built the St. Francis Dam in San Francisquito Valley, California. It gave way under the pressure of water, loosing a flood which wiped out several towns, caused $30,000,000 in property damage and killed 400 persons. For the rest of his life Mr. Mulholland moved under the shadow of that catastrophe.

It was something he never got over. Does any man move under such a load of responsibility as an engineer? Every living mortal makes mistakes in calculation or performance at one time or another but does anyone see his mistakes bring such terrible consequences? In the tragedy that darknened this distinguished engineers life there is a poignant testimonial to the fearful responsibilty that rests on the shoulders of the man Who builds things.

Protest Of Athletes There seems to be a pretty good chance that Vhe 1938 Olympic games in Berlin will be boycotted by a good many foreign nations; and if this happens the Germans will have only their own government to blame. It is all very well to say that the Olympic Games are entirely non-political, and that the complexion of the government of the country where the games are to be held should not influence the decision of other countries to compete. But the fact remains that among the aspirants for places on the various Olympic teams in America, England, France and other countries are thousands of Jewish and Catholic youths and these young men can hardly be blamed for being reluctant to accept hospitality from a government which ts presecuting their fellows. A boycott of the games might, in fact, have a wholesale effect. If It should bring home to the German citizens the revulsion which Nazi racial and religious policy has inspired abroad, it might lead to a modification of the policy and a curbing of some of the more empty-headed Nazi fire-eaters.
