the work they are doing over here and
most assuredly great deal of praise is
due them for the way in which they
carry on" as the British term it. Their
endurance may be taxed at times, but
it is great deal of satisfaction for a
man to overcome such things. 1t is the
"knifing in the back" by such men as
Townley which riles them and they will
take their toll, never worry.
Well, let things come and go as they
will now, am concerned altogether with
my little part in winning this war and
until that is over l cannot worry much
over what takes place with politics.

NEW SPEED RECORD SET
BY L. s. MAIL AVIATOR

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1S.-A new
speed record-one hour and fifty min
utes between New York and Wash
ington, was established Monday by
Pilot Ira Biffle in a Curtiss R-4 plane,
it is announced at the Postoftice
Department
The time included ten-minute
stop at Philadelphia, so the flight of
21S miles, airplane distance, was ac-
tually made in one hour and forty
minutes-a rate of approximately $50
miles an hour. The approximate av-
erage elapsed time has been two
hours and thirty minutes.
Pilot Biffle's plane was equipped
with a 400-horsepower Liberty moter.
BfffIe started his record flight with
out his aviators coat, but passed
through snow and sleet storm en-
route. A temperature of seven de-
grees below zero was encountered at
an altitude of 5000 feet.

GET ON POLICE FORCE LIZ
YOU'RE DRY, ATLANTA WAY


ATLANTA, Dec. apparently
there is only one sure way of aiding
the thirst that becomes steadily worse
and worse throughout the bone dry
state of Georgia, and that is to get on
the police force and confiscate the
liquor belonging to the other fellow.
A. P. Durham, a patrolman on the
police force of Atlanta, has been sus-
pended from duty by Chief Beavers on
account of his failure to turn over to
police headquarters three suit cases
of liquor confiscated by him sew
eral weeks ago.
When asked for an explanation, the
policeman said he had put the liquor
away at home and had simply forgot
ten to take it to the station house. He
was turned up" by negro who said
he was waiting to receive the liquor
from pal at a suburban railroad
station, the pal having brought it
from Cincinnati. - ,-s.

FIRST DAY NETS
1000 RED CROSS
MEMBERS HERE

The Red Cross drive in Americas is
continuing today, and will continue
through the remainder of the week, J
Lewis Ellis, in charge of the drive, an
nounces. While nearly the whole city
was covered by the solicitors on the
first day, d considerable amount Of
cleanup" solicitation remains to be
done, especially in the downtown
section.
Some of the committees reported
last night after completing the day s
work, but many of them have yet made
no report. From the returns received
Mr.. Ellis estimates at least 1000 MEM
berships at 81 each were taken yes
terday. The final figures, however,
are expected to show much larger re-
suits. All the committees are asked
by Mr.. Ellis to report at once at the
Red Cros work room over the
postofiicc.
An example of Red Cross charity
came to light in Americas this morn
ing, when the local chapter through
Chairman Stephen Pace, was called
upon to supply transportation home to
California for the destitute widow Of
a soldier who died this week at
Souther Field. The soldier was Pri-
waite Wallace H. Minor. of Fresno,
Calf. He had been married only a
year and he had brought his bride to
Americas where she might be near
him When he died she was left al
most penniless and the camp authori-
ties appealed to the local chapter TO
provide the means for her to return
home. there being no provision for
such needs to be supplied from camp
funds. The amount, $125. was forth
coming and Mrs Minor will leave
with the body for Fresno tonight. Ser
geant VIM. Lazenby, a close friend of
Private Minor since the two have been
at the camp here, was named as spec
ial escort to represent the army.
