TO RACE
AROUND WORLD IN 1915

San Francisco, Feb. 3.--Three hun
dred thousand dollars and perhaps
more will be offered in prizes to aero
nauts who race around the world in
any type of motor-driven air craft
under the auspices of the Panama
Pacific International Exposition Com
pany. Of this sum $150,000 will be
given direct by the exposition COM
pany and subscription arrangements
on foot for securing the remainder
are said to even indicate larger
sum than 100000. 1t is said to be
the largest prize fund ever offered
for single sporting event.
The race, the climax of the worlds
aeronautical activities thus far, is to
start early in May, 1915. Contestants
will be allowed ninety days in which
to make the flight of approximately
$4,000 miles around the globe. This
race starts and finishes on the
grounds of the Panama-Pacific EX-
position and the course lies east from
San Francisco. The route as now out
lined crosses the Atlantic ocean, Eng
| land, France, Germany, Russia, ia
pan and the Pacific ocean, touching
the worlds brilliant capitals, the Arc
tics, the sub-tropics Of the Orient and
the Siberian wastes. Specifically, the
line runs from San Francisco through
Reno, New, Cheyenne, Wyo.; from
there either to Kansas City, st. Louis
or Chicago and on to New York.
The Atlantic ocean is conceded to
be the most formidable stretch in the
race. 1t will be essayed from Belle
Isle, a small point between New
foundland and Labrador. Cape Fare
we'll, Greenland, the next stop, bar
ring a drop into the water, is 610
miles away, and from Cape Farewell
to Reyjavik, Iceland, is I67O miles
further. One more jump, $40 miles,
to Stornaway, in the Hebrides-and
the Atlantic has been crossed.
That none of these three distances
is impossible, aero experts assert, is
shown to them by recent flight of
Garros, the French aviator, who did
600 miles over the Mediterranean
from Cannes, France, to Tunis, AT
RIGA.
From Hebrides to Edinburgh, Lon
don, Paris, Berlin, Warsaw, st. Pc
tersburg, Moscow and along the trans
Siberian railway down into Manchu-
ria and Korea, and across into ia
pan, runs the line Of flight. From
northern Japan to Kamchatka, with
varying routes across the little gap
of thirty miles which separates Asia
from North America, no obstacle
likely to be met is insurmountable it
is declared. Vancouver, B. c.; Sc
attic and Tacoma, Wash; Portland,
Ore, and San Francisco again-and
the world is belted.
The exposition's $15O,OOO will be
cut into three prizes-one of $780,
900; a second of $4,000, and third
of $4,000. Distribution of the aux
iliary prizes of $15O,OOO will be an
nounced later. This fund will come

DESERT CONQUEST IS
AIM OF COUNTESS

London, Feb. 3.-Countess Molitor
of Russia has drawn her plans for the
crossing of Arabia from west to east,
including the exploration of the Ruba
ell Khali desert, a region of 100000
square miles which no European has
ever entered and which probably is the
most mysterious and inaccessible re-
gion in the world Whether is contains,
as some believe, remains of buried cit
les, or whether the whole is nothing
but arid sand, none can sayfi for it is
very doubtful whether even a native
has crossed more than the outskirts
of the desert. Countess Molitor already
has done considerable travelling alone
in Southwest Africa.
81 intend,' she said, "to travel
alone, so far as Europeans are con-
cerned, for I believe this to be the
safest course. 1 shall dress and live
as an Arab. My plans have been dis
cussed with the geographical society
who admit the immense interest at,
tached to the desert, but make nc
secret of the dangerous character OF
the journey.
"From Daira shall travel to Teims
the point from which several unsuc.
cessful attempts have been made te
get into the heart of the coutry
This part of the journey will involve
a couple of weeks travel over noun
tains. My next objective will be Tam
reh, three weeks journey to the south
ward over difficult mountain country
Tamreh is the last point in the des.
ert marked on the map and the 120(
miles of desert between that place anC
Muscat is absolutely unknown. One Of
the greatest perils will be the absence
of water, but l am arranging to trave
in the spring, when my she-camels will
have plentiful supply Of milk. Bas

Pastor Reports
c.. e. Convention

In the First Baptist church, Sun
day morning, Rev. A. L. Kinter, in
stead of preaching, gave an inter-
esting report of the Annual County
Christian Endeavor Convention, held
at Holtville Friday evening and Sat-
urday. He spoke first of the delight
full social time enjoyed, especially the
banquet for the officers and pastors
Friday evening. After bountiful
repast enjoyed by nearly thirty Off
GERS and others, and feast of spicy
after dinner speeches, all gathered at
the High School building for the
evenings program. The auditorium
was filled with an enthusiastic crowd
of young Christian people. One of
the inspiring features of the even
ing was the music by the large cho-
rus and the High School Orchestra of
forty-two pieces.
After telling of the various social
treats, Rev. Kinter spoke of the in
tellectual uplift Of the convention. He
said that the music was one of the
intellectual uplifts of the meeting
He told of the significant statements
and statistics given by Miss Luella
Curry of Holtville on "The Influence
of Christianity on the Conduct and
Scholarship of High School Students. ,
In one high school it was found that
forty of the fifty who had the high
est standing were Christians. 1t was
shown in one high school that the
students covered more ground in their
studies and made higher grades dur
ing a revival season than at SINH
lar time the year before when there
were no such meetings. Christianity
inspires people to intellectual as well
as spiritual betterment.
Rev. Kinter spoke also of the spir.
itual or Christian uplift of the con.
vention. The necessity and blessings
of prayer were emphasized in an ad
dress by Miss Ida Hanna of Holt
vile and others. Best plans for va
rious Endeavor committees were dis
cussed and missionary endeavor was
represented by actual missionaries
