MADISON DOCTORS
Endorse ROAD TAX

Another Madison county or
ganization has gone on record in
favor Of the special 20 cent road
tax upon which the voters Will
pass on Nov. 9TH next.
At the meeting of the Madison
County Medical Association last
week the doctors present voteI
to approve and en-
dorse the road tax so that old
Madison may get out of the muG
as soon as possible. No one
knows better than the ply siciaus
the need Of good roads. The
statement has been frequently
made by doctors that many d
life has been lost by inability of
a physician to get to the sufferer
i'll time, solely because Of bad
roads.
Reports from al over the coun-
ty indicate thai sentiment is
growing rapidly aud steadily for
the special road tax. The people
appear to be coming to rea1iza-
ton of what good roads will
mean to them and what it means
to have the state pay half the
cost of building them.

SIMPSON breaches

changeites Feature of Dis
ciples' Revival Monday

One of the interesting fea-
tures of the meeting at the First
Christian Church Monday night
was the singing of the members
of the Exchange and Rotary
Mems Luncheon Clubs. It is
probably not well known il the
community that the first du-
ties of the members of tie &c
clubs is to be able to sing and
the feature OF song in their
weekly meetings fitted them to
surprise the big audience Monday
night when called upon by Miss
White to sing.
The service was largely at
tended and Sustained the same
high interest of the great ser
vices on Sunday. DR.. Simpson
spoke on Lift Up Your Eyes"
The sermon contained a search
ing appeal for progress in the
community's life and for the
better things in the world.
He congratulated the men Of
the clubs upon the forward step
fer Richmond indicated in Their
organization and for the new day
OF progress dawning in the COM
munity when men orga 6 Z e
themselves into such clubs. He
said that while there must be a
wholesome reverence for tn e
past that the spirit of the p.o-
neers of yesterday can be pre-
served only in the progress OF
today, and that no community
Can be worthy of the present day
which lives simply upon its dead
yesterdays. He urged that men
should lift up their eyes upon
the opportunities for the better
ment OF our world and for the
building OF a new br, therhocd
among men. He pointed OFT
that the church can never m ct
the needs of such an hour as this
without i constantly growing
and progressive progla am. He
called upon those present to lii;
up their eyes to the Redeemer q
the world whose cross has be
come His throne in the building
of a great spiritual empire.
The message delivered Monday
night was thought by many to
be the most significant and
searching yet brought by the
eloquent preacher. Miss White
directed the music in her usual
happy and successful way. Miss !
Ole Baldwin was added to the
muiscal forces at the piano last
night. Miss Nettie Kate Evans,
who since the beginning Of the

DANVILLE WELCOMES
CENTRE BOYS HOME

Danville, KY, Oct. 24-Schools
and business places closed and all
Danville turned out to meet the
triumphant though defeated Col
onels as they returned from E1ar-
ward. The demonstration was N
thusiastic as was Our last .Jear
despite the Colonels' defeat.
The teams management an
nounced that negotiations are un-
der way with Cornell ID Co
lumbia for games with thtm next
season. A number of Eastern
colleges, including Brown, have
invited Centre to play in the
East next year.
The defeat at the hands Of
Harvard on Saturday has stayed
with the players and they mourn,
rot on account of the defeat. but
for the poor football they dis
played to bring about the result.
That first quarter" seemed to be
the 9ruesome nightmare thought
that was uppermost in the minds
of all. The fact that they outplay-
ed Harvard throughout the re
mainder OF the game brought lit
tie consolation. Terry SnoWdaE,
who fumbled the bal. which was
recovered by a Harvard player
and converted into the Crimson's
first touchdown. was incOnsola-
bic. Terry told how he lost the
pigskin. He was preparing t.
elude a tackler by means OF a
lett straight arm and shifted the
ball to his right. Just as he was
doing this another Crimson tack
Ter smashed him from the right
and the sudden impact forced the
ball from his hands. SnoWday is
one of the few Centre backs who
had failed to tumble this season,
and the thought that his initial
boot had to come in the most
important game Of the year has
wrought havoc in Terry's soul.
According to several New York
newspapers Centre might really
have vanquished Harvard had not
that terrible first quarter been
played. That Harvard only made
one down to ten for the Ken
tuckians in the second half of the
game is proof positive that the
Colonels had an offensive ma
chine of tremendous force and
one that could also hold on the
defense. Some critics say that
Harvard pulled its best men after
the first quarter in order to save
them for the Dartmouth game
However, this only goes for Ow-
en-. The other frst-string backs
and clever linesmen were in there
fighting the Kentuckians and
fighting them with the best they
had to keep the victory safe. The
touchdown that the Colonels
scored was made against the
Harvard frst-string men.
Coach Charley Moran's lock-
step shift that the Centre team
introduced at Harvard Stadium
was both complimented and criti-
cized. One thing is certain, it
bewildered the Harvard team and
for the entire third quarter the
Crimsons failed to smash it sue
cessfully. Just when they ap-
peared to solve the formation the
Colonels went back to more sim
PIE football and Shot split-tackle
plays through the Crimsons for
big gains. Whenever the lock-
step shift was used it always
worked nicely. The big criticism
for the formation is that it takes

New Airplane Folds Wings in Flight

HHE accompanying photograph Illus I trates the latest improved method of causing an airplane to take off and alight at slow speed while at the same time making it possible for 1t to main- tain the maximum speed in flight.
 The manner in which this extreme difference in speed is accomplished IS by varying the uurface of the wings or planes of the biplane by withdrawing the rear part of the wings from tho front part to increase the surface and by sliding the rear part back into the front part, into which 1t telescopes, when the airplane is in flight and it is desired to attain the maximum speed.
 The varying or the surface of the wings is accomplished by the aviator, who turns crank within the body, thus gradually increasing the speed. With the wings withdrawn to the full extent, the chord, or distance from front to back is increased materially, as is also the curvature. By increas- ing both the chord and the curvature, a very great lift is obtained at slow speed in starting and landing. while conversely, by shortening the chord and reducing the curvature in flight, something over 20 per cent. is added 10 the speed that normal machine with non-variable wings would have in flight
 This new improvement in airplane construction is the invention of a Frenchman. N. Bile and it seems to

The Lightest Wood That Grows

D REPRESENTATIVE of natural re- 1G sources which laboratory re- search and experiment are bringing into important industrial use is balsa wood. product of the tropical forests of Central and South America. Its present rapidly expanding, position as the insulating material for all phases of refrigeration and in numerous other uses for which its light weight, strength, and smoothness make 1t adaptable, is the result of over ten years of investigation. and test in lab- oratory and factory. and in actual use

a thin coating which does not ap- preciably increase it's weight. Treated balsa is water resisting, and Is not subject to the attacks of insects or the bacteria of decay. When used for buoyancy purposes or for insulation under unusually damp conditions, the treated balsA is further protected by a coat of waterproofing substance.
 Combined with it's light weight and it's quality of insulation against heat balsa possesses . structural strength which, pound for pound, Is greater than that of any wood In actual test, balsa shows . strength per square inch fully one-half the strength of spruce.
 The importance of this structural strength in the combination of quail ties characteristic of balsa is para mount in it's application to insulation and to buoyancy products and wher- ever strength combined with light weight Is desired. When It Is rernem- bered that balsa is the only insulating material in general use which not only can support itself but can also carry considerable part of the weights and stresses of the structure in which 1t is used, it's va1ue in refrigerator con- sfruction is evident. Added to this is the facility with which 1t can be in- stalled.
 Extensive tests have shown that balsA has an insulating efficiency at least equal to that of any other com mercial rsed product. In actual prac- tice the advantage is further in favor of balsa because of the small number of joints required in its installation and their greater tightness. With many other Insulating materials. joint hllers and supporting members having only insulating efficiency must be used. The result Is that heat leakage through joints reduces to some degree the insulating value of the structure. The heat conductivity of water Is such that very small percentages of moisture absorption greatly lower the
