MOUNT CLEMENS. Mich. October
19.-Brig. Gen. William Mitchell. as
sistant chief of the United states
Army air service, yesterday set Il
new official worlds speed record when

of 224.05 miles an hour in four heats
The test was timed by representa-
tiveS Of the Federation Aeronautiqur
lnternationale. thus making the
record official.
Commenting on his great speed, Gen.
Mitchell said it might now be con-
sidered IAN ordinary feat for an
aviator III one Of the modern high
power planes. to attain Il rate far in

creased protection for pilots. was
necessary. he believed. to register
even faster flights than h:tv. been
made.

Cen. Mitchells leather helmet WAS
slit by the wind during his rush
through the air. This showed, h"
said. that the aviator's heads"ar must
be r-tiesigned before the high speed
could be maintained with safety. An
inciosed cockpit might also aid in
solving the problem. he said.

officially at a speed of 2iS.3 miles an

Army regulations. no representatives
of the Federation Aeronautique In

ROTARlANS HEAR

The speaker said that he did not
wish to leave the impression that
there is no public health work being
done In the state, because there Is eff
fective work being carried on by the
anti-tuberculosis society and the Red
Cross nursing service, and measures
have been adopted for the handling
of venereal diseases. Some provision
also has been made for the are of
leprosy patients, DR.. Olesen said, and
he declared that the hotel inspection
is admirable. However, there is no CO.

DR.. Olesen said that he believed
that the appropriation Of $4,000. over
what is now being spent in the state
for public health work, would provide
for the maintenance of an effective
health organization. He suggested an
advisory council. with the employment
of a full-time health worker. In the

Col. Mueller said hat the army OF
the United States is divided into three
parts. the regular army, the national
guard. and the organized reserved.
The organized reserves at the present
time comprise, chiefly, men who were
trained on the field of battle in the
world war. In the future, the reserves
must be recruited from the r.. o. T. C.
units, he said.
Service to their country is constant
~ stressed. in the training Of the
young men in these r. o. T. C. units,
Col. Mueller stated. He declared that
America was not prepared for the
world war, and lost many men as q
result of this unpreparedness, but the
training of men for the reserve forces
will prohibits such a situation in the
future, he pointed out. Last year about
1880 men were graduated to commits.
sions, in the reserve forces. and this
year between 5000 and $500 will be
graduated. Col. Mueller stated.

AT The Theatres
Ar THE GRAND.

There's a good perturbation Of
Cynthia Stockley's novel. pink Gods
and Blue Demons" at the Grand the
first half Of this week. 1 liked pink
Gods immensely. even though it
drags at times and is not true to de-
tail, that Is. as far as Kimberly is
concerned, but then this is a story
inc we do not expect it to be correct
in all detail. However, the picture is
put up much above the average. The
settings. dresses and photography
have seldom been equalled on the
screen. The acting is we'll done,
especially by James Kirkwood, who
plays the part Of John Quelch, and
Anna 9. Nilsson, who has the part of
Lady Margot Cork. Bebe Daniels is
excellent. I do not remember seeing
her to better advantage. She seems
to have grown to a very likeable and
pretty woman who knows how to act.
There Is q brilliant future in store for
Bebe Daniels. The story Is good and
unusual and has a. costly and spec
tscular climax. Many people will like
this picture but it may not go with

ing heard a better male quartet for
