GLASGOW. July 26.-In the pref
TEST and most exciting neck and neck
aeroplane race ever contested, Andre
Beaumont, the dashing French naval
lieutenant, passed through Glasgow,
In the lead today In the 1,0oO-miio
circuit race for q fortune OF $bO.0OO
offered by the London Daily Mall.
Close behind came Jules Vedrtnes,
Beaumont's compatriot, flying with
the speed of the fastest express train.
Beaumont was still In the lead when
he reached Carlisle, SO miles from
Glasgow and after replenishing his
gasoline started for Manchester. 103
miles distant.
Both mer rushed through space
like meteors.
Beaumont left Edinburgh at $40 q.
m. and vedrines at S:2b. A blind
ing mist came up and Vedrines lost
his air road. The plucky Frenchman
was forced to slow down and dashed
first this way and then that to get
out Of the mist. This delay enabled
Beaumont who had seen the white
bank approaching to pass Vedrines.
Vedrines had to steer by compass.
He reached Glasgow at 1904, one min,
ute after, Beaumont had taken wing
for Carlisle SO miles distant.
Oiling his motor, testing every
wire and taking fresh supply OF
gasoline, Vedrines shot away like an
arrow, 20 minutes behind Beaumont
On the 86-mile lap between Glas-
gov and Carlisle, Vedrines cut down
Beaumont's lead to six minutes,
Beaumont descending at the control
station at 11:16 and Vendrines at
1922.
A bite to eat, some oil and gasoline,
and both were on for Manchester,
Beaumont again getting away first
by six minutes.
The race has resolved itself into a
contest between the two Frenchmen.
G. T. Weyman. the American en-
trant, retired from the race yester-
day after an accident at Harrogate.
J. Valentine, the third contestant,
left Edinburgh at TAO, reaching Stir
ling, 81 miles from Edinburgh at
9:15. Valentine damaged his propel-
Tor but started for Glasgow.

DEATH BEFORE 100
YEARS IS SUICIDE
Prof. Munyon Says Ignorance
of Laws of Health Ex-
plains Early End of Life.
Noted Scientist Has ENCOURAGING
Word For DespOndent Men
and Women.

Death befors 100 years has been
reached is nothing more or less than
slow suicide. A man (or woman) who
dies at an earlier age is simply agnor-
ant of the laws Of health"
Such was the original and rather
startling statement made by Professor
james NJ. Munyon. the famous PhiIadel-
phia health authority. who is establish
ing health headquarters III all the large
cities of the world. for the purpose of
getting in direct touch with his thou
sands of converts.
Professor Munyon is a living embodi-
ment of the cheerful creed he breaches
Nirile. well-poised. active and energetic,
he looks as though he would easily at
tain the century age limit which he de-
clares is the normal one. He said
I want the people Of the world to
know my opinions on the subject of
health. which are the fruit of a lifetime
devoted to healing the sick people Of
America. There isn't a building in this
city big enough to house the people in
this State alone, who have found health
through my methods. Before I get
through there won't be a building big

I want. most Of all, to talk to the
sick people-the invalids, the discour-
aged ones. the victims Of nerve-wearing,
body-racktng diseases and ailments-for

Political Appointments.
In the promotion of Charles Page
Bryan to the embassy at Toxic. the
President gave the officials here another
surprise. 1t was not expected that he
would be recognized in the list Of ad-
vancements. This is, therefore. regard
ed as one Of the political appointments
Another political appointment is that
of Larz Anderson, of this city. He
never has before accepted a political
appointment, but has been one of the
Presidents warmest friends. He was
at one time, however an embassy sec
retary. He was mentioned for the Ber-
lin post but the matter was compro-
missed with the appointment to Belgium.
He will succeed Mr.. Bryan.
Mr.. Carter, who goes to Argentina,
succeeds Minister Sheriff.. He was
given his first post as that of minister
10 the Balkan States two years ago.
the American Embassy at London.
BY the promotion of Mr.. Carter the
President was enabled to send Mr..
jackson, now minister to Cuba, to
the Balkan SIdteS. MS nTSI post was
that of minister to Greece. This
change made II possible for the Ex-
ecutive to transfer Mr.. Beaupre from
the Netherlands to Cuba.
Bryce a Scholar.
In the appointment of Lloyd Bryce
Of New York as minister to the
Netherlands, the President picked a
scholar and publisher. Mr.. Bryce was
educated at Georgetown University in
this city and later at Oxford, Eng
land. He is a former member of Con-
gress and was later sole owner of the
North American Review. He is au-
thor of many books and essays.
In connection with today's appoint
ments, the fact is brought out that the
diplomatic service is rapidly becoming
one Of promotion. OF the ten ambas-
sadors, eight have had previous d.
plomatic training. OF the thirty-two
ministers, twenty-one are men who have
held other commissions in the diplo-
matte or consular service.
Many of the nominations made today
had been anticipated. 1t had become
known that Mr. Leishman would be
sent to Berlin, Mr.. O'Brien to Rome,
and Mr.. Carter to Argentina. Other ap-
pointments, however, had not been more
than intimated during the Presidents
consideration of the new list.
Secretary Knox, following the meet
ing of the Cabinet today, announced
that Minister Sheriff., at Buenos
Ayres, had resigned. He said that
this official had been offered an en-
bassy If he would stay in the service,
