that those trying to get in the gates could have time to get seated.
 When Elliott came down to have the rope ladder attached there was much comment among the newsies as 10 what he was doing, and how much It weighed, and if it was strong enough to hold him, and if the wind from the propeller wouldn't straighten it out so that he could not get hold to it, ana many more such questionings. Every mothers son of them had it figured out just how he did it. It would have amused him greatly to have heard how freely they discussed him and his per formance.
 But when he got going good and Elliott began to circle, above the ship in which he was ridihg and for some cause went too high for him to grab the ladder, and he began to climb down into the machine, they were sure he had got cold feet and wasn't going to do it. But soon the two pilots had made wide sweep and were racing across the sky in front of the grand stand. but again the top ship was out of reach of Locklear. It took the third effort and then at last there was a beautiful bit of piloting and up he reached and caught the swaying lad der and swung out on it.
 Then things began to happen lively, for as much as they had admired LOCK lear standing on his own ship with folded arms, and crept out to the tail end, and then climbed back and stood on his head on the engine, or leaned way forward while the wind kept him from falling, all seemed tame to his antics performed at the foot of the ladder. At times he hung by his legs, and then swung way out with one hand. It was too much for the bunch and they were as silent as death until he clambered into his seat and then they let out a shout like a steam call Hope.
 It was getting along toward and they rushed up the Midway to connect with Ed Salter, who was waiting for them. The first thing they tackled was the big animal tent. where they saw blood curdling lion and tiger acts. Next they tackled the Wild West are- na, and then took in everything down the line, and, believe me, they were some happy kids. l am sure that before the evening was over, if any one had asked, Boys, who is the best fellow in town?" with one accord they would have ana swered, Ed Salter" He gave them a great time and they are strong for him and the Johnny J.

ROTARIANS ENJOY
 LUNCH AT THE F AIR
Midway Features Presented. ''Rotes" Not Strong for
 Motor Polo

With 150 Rotarians in attendance, the Rotary club held one of the most inter esting meetings held in many months yesterday afternoon at i o'clock at the Alabama State fair grounds. The mem bers met at the office of the club in the Tutwiler hotel and motored Co the fair grounds.
 The parade to the restaurant where the barbecue was served was led by Frank Willis Barnett. riding "Baby Sue" the elephant During lunch several novel features of entertainment were offered, and included the act of McKays Scotch revue, which consisted of songs and dances. Several solos were rendered by Miss Leona Sherwfn. accompanied by the band, which were greatly enjoyed. These features were among the best ever presented by the club and were re- ceived with enthusiasm.
 Several short talks were made and nu- merous jokes were told on each other. The polo players offered the, use of their automobiles to Rotarians for the afternoon if they wished to indulge in this sport, but none availed themselves of this offer.
 At the conclusion of the luncheon the Rotarians proceeded to take in the fair and they could be found all during the afternoon on the midway and in the va rious exhibition buildings, wSile few were found looking-at the poultry. This was one of the best meetings the club has ever had,'' said Clarence Lloyd, " and I think it did every Rotarian good to visit the fair and take in the attrac- tions as well as exhibits offered at this time. The fair is the largest and best l have ever seen and think the fair as- sociation is to be congratulated on se- curing such a splendid list of free at fractions as appear daily"

 The party came/out from town under

 that they had to wait until school was
 out before they could report at the

 reach the grounds until about 9, but
 they arrived in time for some of the big free acts in front of the grand stand The acrobatic stunts appealed to them strongly. the Scotch lassies also got good hand from them; the mar N~ rope filled them with glee and when ] the Jap slid down a wire stretched , from the top of the grand stand across the track to the platform it brought forth many expressions of Holy gee.

''Delco-Light" Merges
 With General Motors
Local Distributor Anticipates Rapidly Expanding Business for Delco-
 Light Under New Organization

The Domestic Engineering company IS one of Dayton's youngest concerns. It was organized in 1916 by F. A. Deeds and c. r. kettering. who owned and con trolled the Dayton Engineering Labora- tories company, makers of Delco starters. As is well known to all Delco-Light deal- CTS, the Domestic Engineering company has had a marvellous growth and develop ment. It was incorporated in the year or 1916 with g capital stock of $800,00, and at the time cf the merger with General Mo tors it's capitalization was a million and
 a half dollars, although the actual money invested in factories and equipment greatly exceeded that amount.
 Beginning business in a small way Delco-Light was manufactured in one ot the smaller buildings of the Domestic
 Engineering Laboratories company but the Delco-Light business grew 50 rapidly and the demand for it's product was so amazingly large that within a very few months after beginning business plans were made to erect a building at Moraine City~with 270,000 square feet of space.
 It vii be remembered that just as this building was completed the war depart ment at Washington took it over for the purpose of manufacturing aeroplanes, and finally when the armistice was signed DeIcO-Ilgnt moved Into the buildings iOt merly occi.Sied by the Dayton Metal
 Products company, where, although there wasSava;lable 340,0o0 square feet of flocr space the growth fthe business soon
 cramped the factory, and additional
 buildings had to be erected.
 Big business men throughout the conn- try have been amazed at the phenomenal growth of the Deico-Light business, which Is net confined to the United States but has representation in Canada Aus tralia, England, France Cuba, south America. South Africa, China, Java and the West Indies.
 At the preesnt time the Delco-Lishe factory employs force of over 2ooo peo- pie, and has a field selling force of about
