FRENCH PLAN RACE TO
 SUPPLANT BENNETT CUP

PARIS, April 5.-The Aero Club of France has fixed September 30 as the date for the Henry Deutsch de la Mourthe Cup. The race is a speed contest and is international. It re. places the late Gordon Bennett Cup, won outright in 1920 by Sadi Lecointe, Frances speed king.
 The race is to be run over a cir cult of fifty kilometers instead of TOO as heretofore, and competitors must cover this circuit six times. Only one attempt is allowed each competitor, although preliminary flights over the circuit any day before the race will be authorized.
 Last year Georges Kirsch, of France, won the race, covering the distance of 300 kilometers in one hour, four min utes and thirty nine seconds. Hopes are entertained that this year Ameri- can machines will compete. British, Italian and French entries are practi- cally certain.

MARINE MAIL GUARDS
 FIRST USED IN 1775

WASHINGTON, April 5.-The use of American marines as mail guards was not entirely original with former Postmaster-Gen Will Hayes, ac- cording to Majos General Wendell C.. Neville, Marine Corps, who says that the marines were first used for this duty in the Revolution.
 The first authentic record Df marine mail guards, according to General Neville, deals with marines from Hart ford, Conn, in May 1775. At this time endorsements, mail dispatches and a chest of 800 pounds specie were sent to Fort Ticonderoga, captured from the British shortly before. AS reliable guards were scarce, eight marines "well equipped and well spirited, were sent to escort the treasure There are other instances recorded where the continental governors and 1 Congress relied on marines for such 1 duties.

BRITISH MOVIES MAY
 CLOSE TO AVOID TAX

LONDON, April 5.-English cinema exhibitors are threatening to close down in the summer unless the exist ing high entertainment tax imposed by the British government is abol- ished
 "Each day brings the film industry nearer to ruin," declared M. A. E. Newbou1d, M P, the chief spokes- man of the English film industry at a mass meeting of exhibitors held in London.
 The meeting, called to denounce the continuation of the tax, which at present raises a dollar seat to dol lar and a half, passed a unanimous resolution stating that ruin faced the industry if the impost was not abol- ished.
 One proposal to be submitted to the government as a result of the meeting is that the tax should be removed during the summer months, failing which it is suggested that the theaters should close down altogether, thus throwing thousands of people out of employment.

SAYS MONEY IS NOT MEASURE
 OF SUCCESS

SHICAGO, April 5.-Success is not to be reckoned wholly in dollars and cents, John J. Mitchell, veteran bank CT, declared in an interview recently
 Broadly speaking, the measure ot mans success is the proportion in which he has been of value to the world and his fellow men and wom- en during his Iifetime," said Mitch ell, who is regarded as a highly successful man. He is chairman of the board of directors of the Illinois Trust & Savings Bank and the Mer- chants Loan-Illinois Trust group of banks.
 Mitchell said that success meas ured by the modern yardstick" is generally accepted to mean the amount of money or material wealth that a person accumulates during a lifetime. Most of the articles he had read treated the subject of success from that viewpoint, he stated.
 "This is not remarkable in view of the times we live in,' MT. Mitchell commented. But I can see that the mere question of making money does not define success in the broadest sense.
 SUCCESS MEANS ACHIEVEMENT"
 Success to any man means the greatest achievement possible to him in the line of endeavor for which he is best fitted. Now, some men are not fitted to make money and should they choose that path they probably would meet only very moderate de- gree of success, if any,
 Mitchell said he would advise young man who might want advice on suc- cess to first study themselves and find out the line of work to which they are best fitted.
 "Men succeed best in what they like most tosdo," the banker contin- ued "Education, of course, is a big factor-in fact, one of the strongest foundations for success in life.
 "Onca the question of a young mans life work is decided he should take up the work itself and pursue it perseyeringly from the beginning. Superficial effort in any direction is bound to meet with failure or at most mediocre success"
 Mitchell added that a man must be logical land have himself in hand at all times' Also, he must have control others. And, above all, he

COST MAY BRING ACTION
 TO WORKERS

LONDON, April 5.-British work CTS are organizing a boycott against beer. They prefer to go dry -volun- tarily rather than pay excessive prices asked
 No "pussyfoot" enters into this dem- onstration. Those interested are among the greatest beer drinkers in the world. Any one man can be guar anteed to drink gallon of beer at a sitting and arise perfectly sober.
 These protesters are members of the National Transpor Workers Fed eration. They number 250,000.
 In their ranks are comprised labor CTS, sailors and firemen, watermen and lightermen, street car workers, gas workers, stevedores, carmen, ships stewards, coal trimmers and stokehoe workers.
 Their main grievance is that mild ale which in 1914 cost four cents per pint now costs fourteen cents; bitter beer, which used to cost six cents per pint, now costs twenty cents. And they ask how a man can exist when the price of living has gone up to this extent
 Hence they have instructed their secretary, Robert Williams, "to organ ize a boycott of the brewers and sa- loon keepers because of the scandal ous profiteering of the trade and it's attempt to depress the economic standards of men and women en- ployed in the industry"
 Brewers, they say, when prices have been falling as regard materials, have not only put up the price of beer, but also lowered the wages of those they employ.

HOW SOUND is TRANSMITTED l
Vibration Of the Air Brings Il 70 the
Ear-TraveIs Faster In Summer
Than in Winter.

Sound is transmitted to tho ear
BY the vibration OF the air. When
one particle Of air is made to yibrate
it sets the adjacent particles to vi
brating, and 50 a sound wave, If not
8Obstructed passes in all directions
from the sounding body. The calcu-
lated velocity OF sound in the air
when the temperature Is at freezing
point is 9156 feet per second. When
the temperature increases, sound
travels faster, and the rate has been
calculated at q little more than one
foot per second for each degree Of
rise in >. Fahrenheit's thermometer.
Contrary to popular belief, sound
travels faster In summer than. in
winter, and in warm than in cold
climates. 1t might be thought that
sound would travel more slowly
through a dense atmosphere, but the
elasticity increases as rapidly as the
density, and, therefore, the velocity
Of sound Is not affected by varying
density. The velocity of sound in
water, when at the greatest density, is
4,7O7.4 feet per second. The expert
ments by which this velocity was de-
termined were made by NJ. Callaodin,
in 1926, across the Lake Of Geneva,
from Role to Thonon, a distance Of
about nine miles. Water, therefore,
transmits sound four times as fast as
air does. s5 ~, Il ~ v. !
