wife died three weeks ago, and John
Wall, "a, unmarried, partners in a
garage at Enterprise both ex-service
men. were killed Saturday evening
and William Beigel Of Wichita, air
plane driver, suffered serious injur-
les when q plane in which the three

Riley crashed to earth near the Rock
Island depot at Enterprise.
The accident occurred about p.
M, as the men were returning from
the afternoons outing. The pilot
had brought the plane. from Wichita.
He had come to Enterprise several
times. On Saturday he took the two
young men to Fort and was about to
land. When the plane went over
Chapman it was flying very low,
barely topping the houses. Over En-
terprise it rose to 1000 feet or more,
according to the persons who watch
ed It. Suddenly it turned in stunt
flying, finally coming earthward and
crashed at the edge Of the depot
platform. Mr.. Schwendner was dead
when found and Mr.. Wall lived only
a short time. Mr.. Beigel, uncon-
scious, was hurried to the Abilene
hospital where he is recovering. He
suffered dislocated hip and bruises
but Imiraculously escaped death.
Mr.. Wall was brother Of Miss
Mary Wall, bookkeper for ShOckey
& Landes Of this city. He was en-.
tered in thu recent auto races here
and had many friends. Mr.. Schwend-
ner was also well known in the
county and the tragic fate Of the
young men is widely deplored.
What the Driver Says
Fiat on his Jack in the hospital
VIM. e. Beigel, the pilot Of the I'M
fortunate plane, is suffering with a
badly dislocated left hip and many
painful minor bruises but no serious
injury.
Mr.. Beigel was with the army air
service for a period Of SO months
and has been flying continuously
since his discharge, from the army.
His flying experience has been I'M
usually extensive and this is his first
accident, he says. Speaking of the
accident Mr.. Beigel said: II have no
recollection Of the fatal trip after
leaving Chapman. l do not remem-
Der even seeing Enterprise and there
fore the exact cause of the accident
can never be known. have discon-
tinued all stunt flying for the past
year and cannot understand why I
should have been stunning at this
time. My great regret is for the
sadness 1 so inadvertently brought
to the families and friends of those
who were passengers and the fatal
results of the wreck. This thought
is continuously ION my mind"

Explorer Says North
 Pole Is Now Easily Accessible from London

London, Sept. 1s.-Modern airships or the German type could make the trip from London to the North Pole a distance of 4.6Qp miles, within a week, says Major Richard Carr, serial expert of the Shackleton Antartic Ex- petition. Fuel for the entire distance could be carried, and no landings need be made.
 ''I am fully convinced that we have left far behind the old-fashioned methods, and that in future polar expe- ditions will be done by aircraft during the summer months" Major Carr con- tinues. ''Very few persons realize how mild the Artic and Antartic summers really are, and the wonderful improve ment in aircraft
 Major Carr made important obser- vations on flying conditions in the Ant artic. During the seven weeks we were in the ice,'' he says, "the lowest temperature recorded was five degrees Fahrenheit and the average approxi- mately 20 degrees. The wind average was eight to 10 miles an hour, and clear. So clear was the air that mir the air and the sky were wonderfully age was very frequent. We had more than 800 perfect flying hours.

LONDON'S PRINCE OF BEGGARSo IS
 GENIUS IN RELIEF WORK CAMPAIGNS

London, Sept. 1s.-In Lord Knuts- ford, the man now organizing the great drive on behalf of London hos pitals. England possesses ''the Prince of Beggars.'
 He started in 1891, when he first began to reorganize the great London Hospital at Whitechapel. He met two Americans on top of a street car and invited them to look the hos pital over. When the tour was over Knutsford's reply was swift and sure: then was-looked very hard at a him ,a,nd each put in a sovereign. And one of them said: Sure. you have got in you the instincts of a. swind1er," and his companion added: You would do we'll out West if you weren't shot the first weeki''.
 Always Cots Results
 By all kinds of appeals, pubic and private, he raked in enough money to put the great hospital on it's feet for the time being. Once he receiv- ed one hundred pounds from a gen. erous donor, who unluckily for him self referred to it as "1 ,0OO0 half crowns which would, in fact, amount to two hundred and fifty pounds. rektiy was sfirt and sure: "Whose arithmetic is wrong, yours or mine? am not business man and so have no credit to lose, but you are and have" And the generous one

MILLION MORE ARMED TROOPS
 THAN IN 1914
Dr. Day Says Churches Must Practice Interna- tional Friendship To Pre- vent More War.

Dr. Day spoke at the United church yesterday on the meeting of the World Alliance for International Friendship through the churches which he attend ed in Copenhagen last month. In or der. to illustrate the representative character of the movement, he men toned the names of some of those present, including the official leaders of every organized group of Christen- dom except the imperial Roman Church. The Archbishop of Canter- of Constantinople, the Pope of the Eastern Orthodox Catholic Church, was vice-president. He mentioned also Dr. Merrill of the Brick Church, New York: Dr: Nehemiah Boynton of and a number of other representative Americans. Professor De1semann, the great teacher in the University of Der and pr. Monod headed the French. There were great numbers of metro politans and bishops, primates, deans, and canons, and all met together in the great cathedral in Copenhagen without thought of rank, titles making no difference. They were some of the leading churchmen of the world face to face with the obligation of the church for a world torn by unfr1endlI- ness and bitterness.
 Among other matters the question of disarmament was discussed at the conference. The statement was pre- sented that in spite of enforced dis armament in central Europe, in spite of solemn pledges by the allied na- tions, in spite of the League of Ma tions, the Washington Conference, and the intense longing of the peoples for peace, there are today a million more men under arms than in 1914 before the war broke out. It stressed the fact that upon the Christian church rested the obligation to bring peace to a distraught world.
 The churches must first of all prac- tice international friendship, said Dr. Day, and try to know the facts about ane another and practice the spirit of Christ, across barriers of friendship, across barriers of wrong and of pre- judice. To be a Christian and follow in the steps of Jesus is not easy but it is the business of the chuGch to call men to just that kind of Christianity

 Honest Man" Gets Job.
 Kennedy Jones, Lord Northcliffe'S partner, once advertised for some one to give employment to "a good, hon est man, who badly needed job for the next fortnight Knutsford at once came to the rescue and employ ed the good. honest fellow to call every day on Kennedy Jones and ask him to subscribe to the London Hos pitai. In three days Kennedy Jones apitulated--heavily.
 Once a hard-hearted Shyloek thought of doing good to a good cause. He wrote offering Knutsford a loan of 200 KHounds or upward. q am very desirous of a lnan," was the reply, for the London Hospital. Terms free of interest. Repayment in next world!" But no business resulted.
 Two million pounds is the total that, up to date, Lord Knutsford has per sonally raised for the hospitals of London"

MANY CASUALTIES

Dog Pursues Cat, Cow Kicks Milker, Dog Bites Cow, Then Fight Starts.

pertland, Ore, Sept. 1s-This tale of real life, rivaling the fable about the House That Jack Built, is a story about the cop that arrested the Jap that owned the dog that chased the cat and bit the COW that kicked the man and broke the arm that held the pail that spilled the milk; about the same cop who called the doctor, who called the ambulance and the humane society officials who called the veter- marian. The story
 Joe Neimy was milking his COW in his barn near which K. Kasaoka kept his automobile. Kasaoka, with his white bulldog, was going into his garage when the dog spied a cat and chased it.
 The cat led the chase near Niemy's COW, and when the dog saw the cat was going to get away it bit the COW instead. Whereupon the COW kicked Niemy, broke his arm and spilled the milk.
 Patrolman IngIe, sent to the scene, notified the emergency hospital and the Humane Society. Niemy was sent to the hospital and veterinarian Was called to care for the COW.
 And then the cop completed his job by arresting- -Kasaoka for permit Ing 8 vicious dog to run at large

 It is rather 1ronical fact that the man who is confident he can "crack any safe in the country is doing time for forging several small checks.

 Morton has done -four "stretches'' Tn penltentiaries. The first conviction came in 1876. About two months ago the aged criminal was released from his fourth prison term at the Leayen- worth, Kan, Federal prison.

important factor in prosperity-was the amount of gold that was handed in through bank windows by all kinds of people. In times of depression there is always a hoarding of gold.
 However, right after the first of the year, it again made it's appearance. Gradually the flow increased. One of our customers deposited $500 in gold he had kept hidden away since the first hard times of 1920. Then came the strikes and threats of other indus trial troubles, and now gold once more is being hoarded. Its the blood clot' in the industrial system of the nation,''
