They Are Asked To Help Arrange for
Visiting Aviators.


A special call was issued today by
the Topeka Chamber of Commerce
for committee meeting tomorrow
noon. And the committee is not even
named. Indeed, it could not be
named. 1t IS a blind call and the
Chamber of Commerce is pinning its
hopes on the fact that the call will
be answered.
All aviators in Topeka are asked to
meet at the Chamber of Commerce
tomorrow noon to help perfect plans
for welcoming the flying circus which
will be in Topeka Wednesday en- route
from Love field, Texas, to Boston,
Mass.
1t is the desire of the Chamber of
Commerce to show all honor and
courtesy to the coming flyers, and it
is hoped that the military aviators
in Topeka will respond to this call so
that the welcome may be made and
given in the proper manner. 1t is
especially desired that the Topeka
aviators give the Chamber the benefit
of their advice in the choosing and
marking of a landing field for the

TO ARREST SPEEDERS
Chief of Police Ready To Start Wal
on street Burners"

Altho a few arrests have been made
recently for speeding they have not
been at all in proportion to the num-
Der of motor car drivers who have
been exceeding the limit, it is believed
by aut horities at the city hall.
Some time ago the public was
warned of the intention of the admin
istration to enforce the speed limit
ordinance. Mayor Corwine and Chief
Hannah consider that the warning has
been in effect long enough for drivers
to learn to pay some heed to the city
regulations and are about ready to
start picking up violators of the ordi-
nance on a large scale.
