'SUPER-DAREDEV|[ FLYING FOR AIR
Mclaughlin Engaged to Fill Contract This Fall In
 LOcklear's Place

When Omar Locklear, recognized as one of the greatest airmen ever to fly a plane. plunged to his death he left scores of flying contracts which death prevented him from filling.
 Locklear when he appeared before the fair crowds at the Alabama state exhibit last year made so profound an impression that he again was booked for the 1920 fair. Hence the Alabama State Fair, october 1 to 9, is one of those where Loeklear was to appear.
 Harry Mclaughlin, death cheating youngster from san Antonio. Tex, has inherited the mantle of the amazing Locklear, long considered the super man of the sky. When Locklear passed along on the great journey. those in charge of his affairs knew that there was but one man who could fill his en- gagements to thrill the patrons of the big fairs of the country. There are | many daring fellows who can thrill the

crowds, but to appear successfully be- fore a crowd that has seen Locklear or heard of his great feats, it required a man who can deliver the real home run hit in the way of causing fast heart beats among the throng look ing on.
 Mclaughlin is of a different type than Locklear just as Art Smith was different from Lincoln Beachy. Yet the great little Art made so many new friends so quickly that he soon became the most popular flyer who ever smiled at death. Mclaughlin is handsome. smiling. carefree youngster, to whom the real serious side of life never has caused any thought He is of a nat ural gymnastic build that enables him to do such stunts hanging and spin aing by his teeth from the bottom of the plane, doing a three fingered hand stand on the top wing of the plane and dropping ten feet to the end of the in visible rope, after hanging by his toes from trapeze. and changing planes blindfolded. Locklear was no reckless performer. He could not have lived as long as he did had he not been cool and ! calculating, planning and executing each feat with a regard for his neck. Unless Mclaughlin eases off on his daredevil work and shows little more respect for his life he soon will follow

arti-leaeue and anti-suffrage man. The vote of the women, l think, will elect MT. Cummings,
 In this connection it has been under stood for some weeks that Cummings was awaiting the ratification of the amendment to enter the race for the Senate As Senator Pittman says, "Brandagee is a strong anti-suffrage man. The women, if they turn against him. will be able to elect Cummings. Senator Pittman says that the women cannot fail to display gratitude. IT he is correct. Cummings will win easily, and Cox will win. If he is wrong, the question both as to the senatorship and the presidency will remain doubtful question.
 There is one other voice raised in Washington in a prediction that the west will go democratic. James V. McClinuc, representative in Congress from Okla homa, is on the scene. He has just gone through an exciting campaign in which he was returned to Congress by an overwhelming majority. and Represent ative Scott Ferris was nominated to suc- ceed Senator Thomas P. Gore. Regard ing the republican claim that the c. o. P. will add Oklahoma to it's list of cer- tain states, McClintic was amused
 oklahoma is democratic" he said. Tn the recent primary Senator Gore was beaten because he was an opponent of the administration He was beaten badly. Not only will Oklahoma 20 over whelmingly for Cox and Roosevelt but il will send solid democratic delegation to the House. In the last Congress there were two republicans from Oklahoma The stronger of the two. Representativ, Morgan, died. His successor will be democrat. And there is little question but that Representative Harrell will b, | submerged by the democratic tide.

DEMOCRATS PLATED BY CONDITIONS IN WESTERN STATES
Party Leaders Give I'm pressions After Trips as as Far West as
 California
By HUGH W. ROBERTS
 Washington Bureau The Age Heral


 Washington, August z.-(Special)-No sooner had James F. Byrnes, representa- tive in Congress from South Carolina, given voice in Washington to the opinion that the democrats would carry the states of the west which President Will son carried four years ago, than for mer Senator Weeks of Massachusetts, chairman of the advisory committee oi the republican national committee turned up with story entirely dif- ferent.
 The Massachusetts banker and poiiti' clan is cortain that Senator Hardlns will sweep the west.
 In turn, the testimony of Senator Weeks is denied. Senator Putnam ol Nevada, just prior to a journey to Caii. fornia. where he will assume charge o1 western democratic headquarters, toic

 WEEKS JUST HOPING
 Mir. Byrnes, after a tour of the west. gave it as his opinion that Cox was just as strong in the west this year as Will son was in 1916. He named several vitally important states. including California, as
 certain to nestle in the democratic col umn. When Senator Weeks approached
 with the statement that not only the Pa
 cific coast states but the Rocky Noun
 tain states, including Colorado, would
 turn in majorities for the republican
 ticket, democratic correspondents in
 Washington were disconcerted.
 There was some relief, however, when
 Senator Weeks, in response to interro-
 gations, admitted that his information
 came from those on the spot and not
 from personal research.

A strange fluid compound made by dis solving a capsule of powder in a tea

 small squirt gun, is the newest success
 full means for curing leaks in an auto
 radiator. The radiator is first filled with
 water and the leaks marked with wood plugs, then it is drained and dried, and thin coat of the fluid applied to each leak In twenty or thirty minutes it may be flied again as final test. As many as 122 tiny leaks in one radiator, caused
 by freezing. have ben repaired in twenty minutes by this method, using but one capsule of powder, according to an illus trated article in Popular Mechanics Mag azine.

EXERCISES At
NIGHT SCHOOL
lmerlGanizatiOn Work Included
In The Program

About fifty foreign born men OF this
city received U. s. certificates Friday
night at the Grammar school for hav-
ing secured their second papers
through the aid Of the night school
here, which has been in session here
ali winter. and which. with the grad
uation last night. terminated until
next fall. About $50 people were
present at the exercises which includ-
ed several varieu numbers, one Of
which was the presentation OF dtpio-
mas from the city to fifteen OF the
night school members who had cred
itably passed the elementary subjects
through the efforts OF the night
school.
j. NJ. Burnett, chief naturalization
examiner Of Philadelphia was the
speaker Of the evening, and before
presenting the government certih-
Gates gave a very interesting short
talk on the advantages of the knowl-
edge of the English language to "a
foreigner and the necessity Of becem-
ing a United States citizen.
AdoIph Greenbaurn, chairman or
the night school committee of the
Board OF Education, said a few words
and presented the fifteen diplomas.
Royal Predmore, principal of the
night schools. made q few remarks
that formally opened the session. A
program which included many musi-
cal selections, was carried out.
What the Flag Means a recita-
ton by Frances Bernstein; Alex Bar
ticks Gang Il am Climbing Noun
talns," and Martin Sofers entertained

Especially fine was the vocal selec-
tion 1.-THE Americans Come" by Miss
Ruth jacobson. The members OF
the night school sang a few of the
popular songs In unison and the
Grammar school girls singing Amer

received.
Mr.. Predmore said today that this
past term has seen the best night
school session in this city, to his
knowledge. The enrolment. which,
at the beginning of the term required
three teachers. increased so greatly
that II was necessary to procure two
extra teachers TO meet the demand.

golf.
This impression may havs been
caused by the tact that loo letters
were sent out to hat many Perth
Amboy BUSINESS men who 1t was
thought might be interested In the
forming of such a club. This letter
was intended only as q preliminary
feeler to learn whether. II an organ
ization was started, 1t would receive
financial support and whether there
would be enough interest manifested
to make its success ssured.
It has always been the intention
of those who have long promoted the
idea of having such a club to mako
II practically a municipal playground
where bosh young and old can follow
his inclinations and enjoy himself
according to his desires. The present
plans call for a eighteen hole golf
course. tennis courts, trap-shooting,
q baseball diamond, hand-ball courts
and other forms of outdoor amuse-
ment. The property on which the
country club would be located con-
tains over 100 acres, making it posi-
BILE for a large diversity of outdoor
sports.
Those promoting this idea wish 10
emphasize the fact that membership
in this club will not be restricted to
a certain rich few. It IL the Intention
u the pfOLiOlCES ~ NUM-
popular with the young people or
Perth Amboy, Metuchen, WOOD
bridge, Sewaren and all adjacent mu-
inequalities. The fees Of membership
will be made so that they will be In
the reach OF practically everyone, 1t
Is promised.
There Is hardly a city OF n size
of Perth Amboy that has not a
try club, 1t is pointed out by the sup
porters of his idea, and, they say,
when we realize that there Is no place
for our people to meet in social and
pIeasurable pursuits, the necessity for
such a club should be apparent TO
everyone.
This country club" says one OF
those who has been pushing this pro-
ject, sis not to be a rich mans club,
but a playground for everyone under
certain restrictions which will be de-
cided upon by a governing body to be
elected by the members as soon as the
organization is perfected"
1t is proposed to purchase the
Kelly farm. located on Woodbridge
road, near the fast line. This farm
is under-drained and its natural lay
out fits it ideally for the purposes OF
outdoor sports. It has a number OF
good buildings and the main building
Is highly fitted for club purposes,
having city water, electric lights and
gas.

The men who have underwritten
the proposition 70 far are anxious to
hear from all Interested. William b.
Pratt, who II at present In Florida. Is
expected back in this city within a
few days. after which 1t Is hoped that
considerable progress will be made.
An option has been secured from the
owners of the property and favorable
terms Of purchase have been offered.
A temporary committee on organiza-
ton has been formed, of which Judge
c. c. Hommann is chairman, and In
cludes Jean Dubois. ID. p. Olmstead.
I. T. Madsen, George F. Reynolds and
Albert Leon, which will give out fur
Their information concerning the pro-
ject to anyone Interested.
The present main building would
be repaired and improved 50 as to
make a suitable and cozy club house
and a steward will be hired to furnish
refreshments and lunches to those de-
string to eat while at the club.
Great possibilities are offered in the
fulfllment of this new proposition
and q meeting of those interested will
be called shortly in order hat def
mite steps might be taken to finance
the proposition and stare immedi-
ate work on converting the Kelly
farm into an outdoor playground and
meeting place for Perth Amboyans.
