TURNS s7 LOOPS IN AIR
2O- -Year-Old American Girl Flyer Set
 a Worlds Record.

Mineola, N. r., Aug. 15.-The world record for looping the loop by women aviators was broken this afternoon when Miss Louise Brom- well, 20 years old, of Cincinnati, Tipped her machine over 87 tines. The best previous performance made last year by French aviatrix, was 25 loops. The record came as a part of the ceremonies marking the dedication of the Curtiss Airdome, formerly Hazelhurst Field, and one of the principal army air posts dur ing the war. Driving Curtiss k-6 standard type, Miss Cromwell went aloft shortly after three o'clock and quickly tilted her machine up 5000 feet. Directly over the field she be- gan the loops. While observers checked off each complete tipover, the young woman kept gradually losing height. She had gotten down down to a scant 1000 feet when, over Hampstead, her machines en- zine began to miss. Fearing an ac- cident, Miss Cromwell circled in a long slant to her starting point.
 q didn't mind it bit," was her as she climbed out of the machine to pose for movie men.

Parks Wins by q
 NarrOU Margin

Little Rock, Aug 17.-Tilman B. Parks of Hope has won the democrat ic congressional nomination in the Seventh District from w. S. Good win, who has represented that dis trict in Congress for several years. MT. Parks claims majority of 160 in the district. The Gazette figures show him ST in the lead. The total vote was Parks 9,807 and Goodwin 9,719.
 MT. Goodwin said last night that the official vote in some of the counties has not yet been certified, and he therefore refused to concede defeat or to make a statement on the matter.
 The official returns of Stone coun- ty limped in last night. Stone coun- ty is inaccessible, and wire trouble delayed news of the official vote. With Stone county's vote and cer- tain additions due to the receipt of the official vote from Izard and Woodruff, the final totals in the gubernatorial race are: McRae, 42,789; Powell, 32,715; Terral, 31.- 689. McRea has lead of 10,574 votes over Powell and Powell has lead of 526 over Terral, who gained 200 votes in the returns of yesterday.
 Additional votes received yester- day changed the totals in the sena- torial race to 97,224 for Caraway, 55,484 for Kirby.

Yesterday MT. Hilton received the following in- teresting letter from the editor of the Review:
 Believe me, MT. Hilton, for a new club holding their first register ed tournament to bring out such an entry is surely remarkable and en- couraging. 1 have personally writ ten up a little report around the in- formation you gave me, and shall publish it together with the scores in the next number, so that all the trapshooters throughout the coun- try will know that the Marianna Gun Club is on the trapshooting map to stay.
 ''Trapshooting is not given the proper publicity it deserves. Sports, such as baseball, are given full page in most of the big cities news papers every day, while trapshoot- ing is fortunate indeed, if 1t re- ceiyes ten or twenty inches month. So. in order that your gun club might be brought to the fore and the attention of the trapshooting public; which class of people are the most interested in your organ ization, I am asking that you send us your scores regularly, and you can rest assured that they will be given space in our publication, The Sportsmen's Review, which is pub lished exclusively for the man who loves the big outdoors, especially the shooter" v -~A

 Expresses Thanks

For the fifth consecutive time the democrats of Lee county have honored me with the office of sher- if and collector of Lee county, and for this expression of confidence in my ability to fill the office and for this endorsement of my record as a public official l want to. ex- tend my sincere thanks. l have always tried to be zealous in the discharge of my duties and fair to all parties having business with the sheriff and collector. It is a source of much qualification to me to realize that majority of the democrats in Lee county think me worthy of continued public trust. I want to repeat the statement made in my announcement last spring to the effect that I will not again be candidate for sheriff and collect or. When I complete the new term for which I have just been nominat- ed I expect to retire from office.
 Respectfully,
