when aviation becomes common it will
add a viewpoint new 10 life.
Seen from my machine houses look
as small as dog kennels. towns ap-

rivers look like brooks. Over the

BOWLING CONTEST
STANDING SUNDAY
Surprises on Tap for the
Pin knights.

The standing Of the teams in The
Washington Herald's bowling contest
will appear in morrows issue. This
will be the first time the standing has
been published. and no doubt there will
be some surprises.
Judging from the way coupons have
been coming in the past few days the
contest is growing in popularity. Up to
the present time votes issued with paid
in-advance subscriptions have not been
appearing as fast as Sras expected. This
condition leaves a splendid opportunity
for Teams that have not polled many
votes. A little consistent effort by men,
oers of teams would greatly increase
their number Of votes.
All persons sending in coupons are re-
quested to keep the tenpin and duckpin
votes separate. thereby facilitating the
counting and minimizing the possibility
of mistakes.
All votes received up to p. m. to-day
will be counted in the standing to ap-
pear tomorrow.
