Daring Aviator Tells of His
Flight from Chicago to

Springfield, ILL.,, Sept. 30.-After es-
tablishing a new worlds record for a
continuous aeroplane Journey. Walter
r. Brookins, standing beside his aero
plane at Springfield today described
sensations he experienced on his 1877
mile flight from Chicago to Spring
field. which won for him $4,000
cash prize and world wide fame as
the greatest OF aviators. As the dar-
ing youth talked. he was preparing
the big Wright biplane for exhibition
flights to be made here today.
1T was an awful trip" he said. but
Id do 1t again. 1t was one long battle
with the wind, with never a letup. Of
ten the machine was jumping up and
down to such an extent that l had a
hard time keeping it balanced. l new

Brookins' flight gave him a clear
right to the title of worlds greatest
aviator He surpassed by seven miles
the former worlds distance record, $50
miles, made by Louis Paulhan on
April %. 1910, when he flew from
London to Manchester.
Wilbur Wright was rubbing his
hands gleefully at Springfield.
There isn't much to say" said Mr..
Wright in discussing the flight.
"BroOkins made the distance. as we
believed he would from the start. The
way to do these things is to act and
not talk about them. Our biplane did
the work"

California was finally declared by the

but this resulted In activities on the

In actual fact. however. bubontc

The point Senator Owen emphasizes
Is that this bureau Of public health

stand up against the power of state
demanding that its commerce should
not be interfered with by publishing
OF the full truth OF the presence Of

Commercialism triumphed over the in

the agencies OF the public health were

Patrons Of Rural Routes TAKE
Notice.

Hon. S. J. Leaphart has received
the following letter from the post oi-
flee department, which is of general
interest to R. F. D. patrons:
"In view of the extent to which the
practice Of placing loose coins in boxes
by rural atrons has grown, and the
delay in the delivery and collection Of
mail and the hardship imposed on
rural carriers incident thereto, you
are informed that, commencing Feb
ruary Is, proximo, rural letter carri-
ers will not be required to. collect
loose coins from rural mail boxes.
"Patrons should enclose coins in an
envelope, wrap them securely in a
piece of paper, or deposit them in a
coin holding receptacle, so they can
be easily and quickly taken from box
es, and carriers will be required to
lift such coins, and, where accompa-
MED by mail for dispatch, attach the
requisite STAMPS.
''This should be promptly announced
to the rural patrons through whatever
means you may employ, without ex-
pense to the department, and you are
at liberty to give the information en-
bodied herein to your local papers for
publication, if they so desire.
Respectfully,

No G. @. ,. sh1pm ents.

Probably very few people know it,
but the G. O. D. whiskey business is
dead.
Time was when the railway and ex-
press companies of certain sections OF
the United States derived an enor-
nous part of their revenue from this
form of business, and the efforts of
the government and state authorities
to put a stop to the illegal phase of it,
which they knew existed, proved all
of no avail.
Not so now. The time has come
when it is crime punishable by a
heavy fine, for any common carrier to
collect the selling price of any intoxi-
cant, either in part or as whole.
To 20 further, it IS al o crime tor
any common carrier to accept for
transportation or to handle any pack
age containing Intoxicating Liquor
that does not bear label telling ex'
actly what the package contains and
the qua nifty.
NO FICTITIOUS NAMES.
Not content with this stringent law,
another provision is that every ship
ment must be bonifde transaction
between real persons, and the agent
of common carrier accepting or de-
livering such shipment to fictitious
person, or person under a fictitious
name, is liable to heavy fine and in
prisonment for several years. The
carrier is liable also to fine and the
property itself to confscation.
This new law went into erect or
