FIGHT FOR DIPLOMA
IS WAGED BY BOY
Was Given Dummy Certificate 4
Help Out Graduating Show
and Now Claims Real Ono,

Whether Floyd Sweitzer OF Van
Meter Is entitled to q diploma as a
graduate Of the high school at that
place, will be determined in a case
which was appealed to the supreme
court.
SweitZer was one Of a class OF four
which graduated from the Van Meter
high school. He was permitted to go
through the graduating exercises, and
was handed dummy diploma during
the proceeding. Later he was refused
real diploma. the record asserts.
The mother Of the boy appealed to
the district court, making the mem
bers Of the school board and H. H.
Van Benthuysen, principal Of the
high school, as defendants. The lower
court decided that the boy is entitled
to certificate Of graduation. The
board has taken the case to the high
er court.
The defense Of the board Is that
Sweitzer was not entitled to a d.
ploma, but that the class was so small
and the arrangements required four
graduates, so that he was permitted
to take part in the show. The boy,
however, asserts that he had no
knowledge that 1t was a sham as far
as he was concerned.

Beachey. king OF the air. and Barney
OIdteld, demon auto racer, thrilled
nearly ten thousand people at Bald

the greatest race meetings ever held
here.
People came from three states by
train, boat and auto. Keokuk sent
down the largest delegation Of any
carried q large crowd, both the morn
ing and afternoon trains were crowd
ed and many more made the trip in
automobile.
While the motorcycle races were
attractive features, the big cards OF
the day were Beachey and Oldneld.
The latter, direct from the Elgin
races, drove his red speed boat around
the half mile track only q few seconds
slower than sixty miles an hour, court
ing death on every lap at the sharp
turns which he took with only the skill
of an Oldfeld. The first lap around,

ed the trial on the rim. Despite this
handicap he went better than fifty
miles an hour. Next he drove q

senger car the extreme limit OF speed
in beautiful exhibition.
Beachey usually performs well. but
yesterday he quit outdid himself. be-
ing so generous In his efforts to please
the people that he made great hit.
Beachey put on a mild exhibition at
first, but later thrilled the people with
his altitude fights and extreme dar-
ing In the air. He raced with Old
field around the track, keeping about
a hundred feet above the auto driver.
and later brought his performance to
a close by looping the loop, one OF the
most spectacular feats known to avia-
ton. This he did while having his
airship under perfect control. An
other sensation Of Beachey's was
flying upside down, and this he did as
easily as some of his milder stunts.
