Tomorrow-twenty years from the
day the first airplane rose from the
ground and flew a few feet-Lieut John
A. Macready, noted airplane record
holder plans to leave McCook Field,
Dayton, Ohio, in his LIE Pere biplane
and make a second attempt in two
weeks to bring the world altitude rec
ord back to the United States. If the
day is unfavorable the attempt will be
made the next clear day.
Twenty years ago the Wright air.
plane established an altitude record of
four feet; tomorrow Lieut.. Macready
believes. with the aid of the new super
charger. oxygen tank for breathing and
new 400 horsepower liberty motor, he
can reach $4,000 feet. The record is
36.7S5 feet, held by Sadi Laccinte the
spectacular French ace. who snatched
it from Lieut.. Macready by flying only
a short distance higher.

LAW OBSERVANCE:
APPEAL SOUNDED
Those in High Places Can No
Longer WobbIe, Representa-
tive Murphy Says.

\ warning to those in high places"
that they could no longer "wobble" on
the question of observance of law
was sounded last night by Represent
ative Frank Murphy of Ohio at a
banquet OF New Jerusalem Lodge, No.
.. of Masons last night at the Frank
lin Square Hotel.
Declaring that he did not like the
term law enforcement" which
should be law observance" Mr..
Murphy said: We can't go along very
much longer breaking the laws of this
country because we have the money
TO crafty an appetite, while the poor
fellow without the price seeks the
same in vain and has the right to do
1t. We must get together and not
pull apart the social structure.
"No Place to WObbIe."
Men in high places can no longer
wobble on this issue. Either they are
for this country, and its laws, or they
are against it, and are breaking it's
laws"
For the sake Of the safety of our
common country" Representative
Murphy called on all to observe the
law" else some day the foreign ele-
ment here will start out with torch
and stone. to burn and break. But
{ they will not have done anything i'll
comparison with those in high places
who voluntarily break the law and
think it's smart"
The banquet. attended by about $50
members of New Jerusalem Lodge,
was in testimonial to Walter. NJ. Bas-
tian, retiring worshipful master, now
said to be the only living repeating
