LINDY, THE SCIENTIST.
As time goes on it is more and more clearly demonstra
ted that the intrepid mail pilot “Slim’' Lindbergh who hop
ped solo across the Atlantic a few years ago to win undying
lame was equipped with something besides a flare for glory
and a lot of luck. The now Colonel Lindbergh is presented
as having turned scientist and co-operated in bringing about
a development that may prove of untold benefit to mankind.
Never has any man had greater opportunity to be a
publicity fool than the one and only Lindy, but never once
has he ever ventured in that direction. Hurled into a bed
lam of acclaim such as no individual in modern times has
achieved after his remarkable flight, the then young mail
pilot kept his head and has continued to keep it. Movie
offers, chances to sponsor this and that all were tossed aside
and the flier let it be known that his only interest at the time
was aviation. And he stuck with it in the face of terrible
odds. He became the outstanding man in aviation despite
the handicaps which he had to hurdle because of his Atlantic
flight.
He has been the victim of one of the most dastardly
crimes in American history but still he carried on, establish
ed new air routes and now, probably to provide outlet for
his great energy, has turned to science where already he is
credited with having some part in a great discovery.
What a glorious fool he might have been, but what a
real man he has turned out to be ! Luck may have played a
part in Lindy’s accomplishments but it can no longer be de
nied that he has an unusually large store of good sense and
the quality for knowing how to use it.—Juneau Empire.

Fat Man Wins Race
England By Trick
(By The Associated Press)
EXETER, England, July 20, —
Parliament street, where a broad
shouldered man has to turn side
ways in order to walk in comfort,
is one of the narrowest streets in
the world, if not the prize-taker it
self. It is little more than a yard
across at the widest point, and the
houses’ front doors open on to it.
The story is told that 100 years
ago a fat man made a bet with a
thin athlete that he could beat him
in a short race if he, the fat man had
a start of one yard, and could pick j
j his course. He picked Parliament!
street and the athlete could not
pass him.

ROYAL WEDDING A
SPECTACULAR SCENE
The marriage of the Princess So
phie of Anhalt-Zerbst, later Cather
ine II, to the half-mad grand duke
Peter of Russia offered London
Films an opportunity to create what
is undoubtedly one of the most
spectacular scenes ever flashed upon
a screen in their latest historical 10
mance, ‘‘Catherine the Great.”
Douglas Fairbanks Jr., and Eliza
beth Bergner are the leading play
ers in the respective roles of royal
bridegroom and bride. Much of
the furnishings and settings came
from a Russian church, since demol
ished.
Elizabeth Bergner's magnificent
wedding dress, with its gold veil
and train, is an exact replica of the
dress described by Catherine the
Great in her intimate diary.
