HIRAM JOHNSON NOVI TOURING EUROPE IN HIS OWN GOOD WAY Declares He is Sick andJttped of Americans Advising World Needs ItAIOON. Jun« *0.—(By Associated JWaw.)—Europe which la some times believed to kave oonslderablee experi ence with politics and politicians, has never had a vbetter example of putting pet theories Into practice than the personally oonduoted tour Senator Hiram Johnson Is making—person.lly conducted in the cense that the Call fornia senator Is oonduofcftlg It himself in his own way- and Is not saying anything about It lor publication at least not yet Senator Johnson's only message to the Amerioan newspapermen In Eu rope is that he is slok and tired of Amor loans Who come here to spend a few days or weeks and then rush Into print which advice and admonition to Both Europe and Amerioa about how everybody is to get on together In peace and harmony. The Cali fornian has kept his word metlcruously. Sometimes he rep nts just a little and before moving on to the next Euro pean capital Invitee the Aperioa» cor * respondents to dinner. There follows hoars of round-table discussions in Which the scribes, who have been settling world crises all day, show an eem&r willingness to take on an other crises or so after dinner and settle them for the private delecta tion of the distinguished American visitor. ' it Is plain to be seen that Senator Johnson's first trip to Europe has Dot materially changed his ivews oon oernlng the east side of the Atlantio. trt. outlook may have broadened, it Is true, but his conviction that Amor loans should play In their own back yard politically at least Is deep rooted as It was the night he started from tVasblngton on his campaign for re jection of the Versailles treaty by the tihlted States. The efect of the Mount Etna erup tion has been felt In London under writing circles where attempts to in sure. property In the vicinity of this and other volcanio areas has raised quotations for the Insurance business Xhearly 80 per cent. v The great Lloyds underwriting society, which will quote rates for any risk from measles to earth quakes, evidently thinks the danger in Sicily is not over, and offers these prohibitive rates to epople with property In the neighborhood of pos sible eruptions who want to insure It at the moment. Later It Is thought the rate will ease, but it will be some weeks before property owners In Sicily will be able to Insure at the 8 or 8 pound per hundred which was the rate effective some time after the San Francisco fire. Having won most of Europe's speed contests on land and water in recent years, Americans are going out after air reoords and according to British alroraft builders the blue ribbon trophy of aviation, the Schneider cup. for which flying boats and seaplanes will comepte at Cowes next September Is likely to cross the Atlantic unless this government allows British compe titors a substantial subsidy. Once the trophy crosses the Atlantic it will not likely be brought back for years, the government Is warned, for the oost of sending machines to America to challenge its holders Is said to be prohibitive. The most that the British air ministry will do, how ever, Is to recall the fact that an Englishman won the'"cup last year - Without a subsidy and It Is hoped this can be done again. If, an English hy droplane wins, the gWefnment will purchase the machine 1 without the engine for 3,000 pounds. France, Italy and Amerioa will be the boldest bidders for the flying boat \ speed record. All are sending navy machines as entries. MANY WOMEN PREACHERS IN IT.

Superinten dent at Rotary Meeting CLINTON, June 80.—“Clinton is the largest town for its size on the At lantic oCast Line railroad." "It'a business has never shown a decline even In times of business de pression.” So declared W. H. Newell, Jr., superintendent, Wilmington Dis trict of the Atlahtlc Coast Line rail road, at a recent weekly lunoheon of the Rotary club of Clinton. Mr. Newell was the speaker of the occasion and delivered his address with the simplicity andv earpestnesS that characterizes a man thoroughly conversant with his subject. The speaker told of conditions af fecting Clinton and gave a general sketoh of the railroad situation in the country at large. Mr. Newell has made frequent visits to this town and Is very definitely In formed as to Its oepadty and Its needs. When fire had destroyed the railroad station several months ago, in company with the vice president and the general manager of the ooaet line, ; he visited Clinton. After looking carefully over the situation and estimating the volume of business done here, they decided that Clinton should be supplied with a modern up-to-date station, second to none of the towns of its size on the coast line. He further stated tfiat , In accord ance with their desire to assist the ! people of Clinton in evefy way, they had annulled all mixed trains and had given to Clinton a full passenger sery Vice together with a freight service that wae the best that oould be de vised. He made the significant statement that business on the Clinton branch had never shown a deoreaee, not even In times of depression and panlo. To give an Idea of the volume of business in normal times, he told them that the business done during Miay, 1022, was i $21,191; that the business during May, 1928 .was $46,482, an increase of over 100 per cent. "Clinton,” said the speaker, "Is the largest town for its size on the Atlan tic Coast Line system.* He urged the people of Clinton to be perfectly free with the railroad in discussing their needs; that what the railroad, desired above everything les* was to know the needs of the people that they might Intelligently meet them. He went on to say that by 1924, they hoped to have Clinton supplied with a first class station that any town would be proud of, and the Clinton and Warsaw branch furnished with heavy steel rails that would easily take oars of any volume of traffic. He then gave a brief but compre hensive sketch of what the railroads of the United States have reoefftly done In enlarging their equipment, in re pairing existing material and in in creasing their fecilltles for handling quickly and carefuly the traffic of the public. The business of the rail- . roads Is to serve the public In euoh a way as will best take oare of the pub- f lie’s Interest and to please the public B in doing so. j This earnest and foroefully delivered address made a deep Impression upon those who were fortunate enough to hear It. It let them see how a big business corporation looked upon Clinton as a business point; and it gave. them an insight Into the heart of a rlalroad system that wished to do what It oould to build up and make prosperous the towns along Its lines. Mr. Ne /ell so charmingly Impressed the citizens of Clinton that Its doors always stand open to him and he may be sure of a hearty welcome when he visits here, declare all those who heard him.
