much-heralded Aim production, Civil
ization," will open at Moore's Strand

the victim Of a torpedo attack, the
realistic fight aboard a submarine and
its subsequent sinking.
The getting cast is headed by How
ard Hickman, Enid Markey s. x
F~"nch, HerscaT Mayau and other

An exhibition Of air preparedness was

tournament at Shecpshead Hay ycster-
day. -Four aviators. one of them "A young
woman. made an attempt to better tho
altitude record, two OF them seeking. in
cidentally. to establish a new altitude
record with a passenger.
80 FAR as the figures were concerned
the contest was hardly impressive. for
the winner did not come within 200 feet
OF the greatest height formerly reached
by an American. But with the wind
blowing nearly thirty miles an hour on
the ground every aviator was half frozen
when he or she reached earth again and
protested that a higher flight would
have been made but for the cold.
All flew Curtiss machines. Victor
Carlstrom Of Minneapolis, with Capt.
Taylor. u. $. A.. as passenger, made the
days best record. $4,000 feet. and won
first prize. $500. and Miss Ruth Law OF
Chicago took the $3.50 prize by ascending
1000 feet. Stevenson Magordon Of
Chicago and Baxter Adams, n Cali
fornian. climbed respectively $500 and
5000 feet.
All the niers kept within the Speed
way Park enclosure. but at one time
only "a single machine was visible.
The competition had received the
sanction of the Aero Club OF America and
Alan X. Hawley. Capt. Thomas =. Haw-
ley. a Hauste,ter n other experts were
present to read the altitude charts. Tex
Milman won the bomb throwing con-
test against Baxter Adams as hts only
competitor. A large stretch of canvas
on the ground was the target.
Five hundred National Guardsmen
evolved a problem of attack and defence
as the opening feature of the days pro.
sramme. There were skirmishes by
artillery. cavalry and infantry and much
shooting.
