How many people in Carbon county ever stop and realize
just what the Carbon County Chapter of the American Red
Cross does?
Occasionally during the course of the year the local news
papers publish articles chronicing something that the Red Cross
has done but one does not realize what these stories mean until
they are gathered together.
The number of things done by the Red Cross which are
given out for publication far outnumber those that are published.

AIR SPEED TRIALS
 WILL BE. RUN OFF
 IN COUPLE WEEKS
Lieutenant Williams Will En- ter Race To Try For
 New Record

ST. LOUIS, Oct. S.-(By Associated Press. )-Speed trials to break the worlds record for the one, two and three kilometer straightaways, to have been held here today, were postponed, due to the inability Of the contest committee to arrange the electrical timing apparatus.
 The test, 1t was announced, will be held at Mitchell field, Mineola, N. Y.,- in two weeks,
 Lieut. A. G. Williams, holder of the worlds speed record and winner of the Pulitzer event yesterday, was one of the entrants as well as the re~ maining competitors for the trophy race flown yesterday.
 Thousands of people had gathered at the St. Louis flying field to wit ness the events. Their disappoint- ment was lessened somewhat, how ever, when Williams, flying the rec ord-breaking Curttss navy fighter barrel rolled" for them at speed of over 240 miles an hour. A barrel roll" consists Cf turning the plane in corkscrew motion, but continu- ing straight ahead.
 Speaking to newspapermen today Lieutenant Williams said, Really l do not know how I did 1t. Winning this race was my only ambition.
 flew over the course SAdClly % times and knew every telephone pole and hay stalk around the 30 miles of 1t. I did not fear a forced landing but wanted to cut every corner and get every mile out of the ship. To do this have been practicing new turn for flying at that terrific speed Last year Lieutenant Maughan in taking the turns round the Pylons became unconscious due to the tre- mendous centrifugal force as he turned at speed of over 200 miles an hour.
 "Figuring the thing always. and unable to get any information from flight surgeons or aeronautical en- gineers due to the fact that no one knew, I attempted to try the turn that would not affect me physically and at the same time would not re- duce my speed.
 Finally, l succeeded in perfecting an even, wide and gentle turn. While this carried me several miles off my course, 1t nevertheless did not de- tract to any great extent from my speed.
 "All l can say Is that I am con tent to have realized my abmition and won the Pulitzer trophy for the United States navy"

HILDEBRAND WILL
 BE ONE MAN WHO WILL BE LEFT OUT

NEW YORK, Oct. S.-Among those who will have nothing to do with the running of the world series this fall will be the man whose inability to tell light from dark cost the club owners $l00,000 or whereabouts on October 5, 1922. His name is Hide brand. It was Hildebrand who de- cided to call the second game of the series last year with the score tied at 8 and 3 In the eleventh inning.
 John Heydler. president of the Ma tional league, and Ban Johnson, pres ident of the American have named their magistrates for the series and Hildebrand's name is not among them. Hank O'Day and Bob Hart will work for the National league and Billy Evans and R. F. Nallin for the American.
 The receipts of the tie game last year were given to charity. The up- roar of the crowd when the game was called with daylight still flood ing the promises was so great that the magnates hadn't the nerve to keep the money. If the teams had played one more inning, however. without breaking the tie, the club owners might have pocketed the re- celpts, for by that time there would Lave been an excuse for the cessation of hostilities.

Birmingham Southern Team {, Recuperating After Ter
 rife Game

Coach Browns warriors at Bir- mingham- Southern college took things easy Monday following their terrific battle at Montgomery Satur- day with the Auburn Plainsmen. Several of the men did not come out In uniform and the men who were out were not run hard. The after noon's session on the practice field consisted of long lecture by Coach Brown on their weak points and the pointing out of a few mistakes which came to light in the game.
 On a whole, however, htere was little to criticize of the Panthers' play in the Capital City for the locals outfought the Plainsmen in the first half and all but scored On them. The Gold and Black warriors swept the ball down the field to the 5-yard line but were halted there. An attempted drop-kick by Miller was blocked Then late in the game the Partners held the heavy Plains men for four downs on the lyard line.
 Coach Brown used "A men in the game. The entire team, except two men, was composed of scrubs and even third team in the last quarter. The scrubs, who played the Shelby High team at Columbiana Friday dIteFHOOH, WlHHlnS 10 U, went through the country to Montgomery Friday night in cars and several of the men got into the game Satur- day afternoon.
 Tuesday afternoon different sight will greet the eye of the ob- server on the Panther field, how ever, for then the grind will be re- newed and the Panther squad again will be running, running, running Facing the Methodists Saturday they will have one of their strongest op- ponents and team upon which they will seek to get revenge. In 1921, with the famous Goat" Hale the Mississippi aggregation ran over the Panthers 2S to 0, last year they won 6 to 0 after many of the Sunshine Slopes players had been injured. This year the Hilltop aggregation will have the Mississippians here and will go in to give them good drubbing.
 None of the players were hurt bad ly in the Auburn game and all of them will be in good condition bv the starting whistle next Saturday aIteroon at o'clock at Redwood Field.

DUNDEE ISFORCED
 TO HIRE MANAGER

NEW YORK, Oct. s.-The business cares of prizefight champion are such that Johnny Dundee. the Italian holder of the featherweight title, has at last been forced to hire manager.
 Jimmy Johnston, a local promoter, one time manager of Fred Fulton, Andre Anderson and Gypsy Prince Daniels, among many other pugilistic curios. has won the job and will start managing at once. As a manager is paid by the job. Johnston will man. age Dundee at high speed and Dun dee therefore may find himself fight Ting several opponents every wee.
 For the last five years Dundee has gone along without a business department. Scotty Monteith, a Glas gow man. who discovered him and in vented his name, was jettisoned in the interests of economy when Dun dee began to receive big purses. Dun dee won the featherweight title from Eugene Criqul without the aid of skipper, but he now realizes that 1t takes a business man to retain a chamDionship.

NEW YORK, Oct. s.-There were no tears in the eyes of Luis Angel Firpo when he was knocked out by Jack Dempsey but the keen black eyes of the South American heavy weight were moist today when he pleaded for return of papers in which he had proclaimed his inten- tion of becoming a citizen of the United States.
 Morton E. Sturgis. chief naturaliza ton examiner, and County Clerk Donegan ruled that the paper must stand on record. but agreed to give the pugilist S letter certifying their belief that he had signed his appli- cation under misapprehension.
 Accompanied by Tex Rickard, box ing promoter, and a lawyer, Firpo ap- peared before the officials and told them that he never had dreamed of deserting his beloved native land; that he still was loyal Argentinian and that he believed that he had ap- piled for a certificate such as he sad was issued in Venezuela and other countries to foreigners touring a strange land
