According to Mccarthy he and
his brother were walking and
without warning they were stoned
by the men who appeared to be
crouching near the alley. Both
men ran as the stones were hurl-
ed at them and as they ran one
of the trio fired the shot which
embedded itself in McCarthy's
foot. No reason can be assigned
by the McCarthy's for the shoot
ing.

Will Make Trial
For Air Record
u. S. Air Service Deter
mined to Take Hon.
ors From France
By ISAAC GREGG

An attempt to break the new
world speed record for airplanes
set recently by Sadi Lecointe,
French flyer, will be made before
April ! by Lieutenants R. l..
Maughan and l.. J. Maitland OF
the Army flying service at Nc
Cook Field, Dayton, Ohio. Leco--
inte's record, recognized by the
aernautical societies OF the world
is 233.01 miles an hour over q
kilometer course. This broke the
record made by Brigadier Gen.
eral William Mitchell OF 222.97
miles an hour at Mt. Clemens,
Mich, last October.
The Army flying service is de-
termined that the worlds record
shall not remain in the possess
ion of the Frenchman and it is
declared by flying authorities
here that as fast as American
records are broken, new ones
will be attempted by the Amerr-
can flyers. Although officials
will not predict the ultimate
speed that may be obtained, it
period of five years or so a speed
as the belief here that within a
of 800 miles an hour, or five
miles a minute may be obtained.

formal installation of Rabbi Rob
Rachmil into office.
B. Abramson, president, wei
coined the assemblage and asked
their assistance in the efforts OF
the congregation to erect a new
synagogue and school, the pre-
sent building on King Street hav-
ing been found Inadequate.
A choir of young children also
participated in the service.
In Rabbi Rachmils inaugural
address, he said in part:
'The troubles in the household
of Israel are due, in great mea-
sure to lack of knowledge by the
people of the history of Judaism,
it's aims and aspirations. But how
can the people be induced to learn
unless their spiritual guide set
the example? The Rabbi must
guard knowledge and spread 1t.
His duty in the pulpit, in the
school, is to instruct, to teach
that for which he has particular
ly fitted himself, not to enter
tain, not to amuse, not to preach
that only which is interesting to
the people, nor 10 satisfy curio-
sity. His duty is to instruct but
he can not take the part of the
ideal priest when he is forced to
speak to empty benches.
If the people will come to him
for instruction, if they will not
seek to dictate to him, but will
him one called to do GER
tain things by the board of Off
GERS. what infleunce can the rab-
bi not have?
"The congregation that does
not look to it's rabbi for guidance
and spiritual advice does not de-
serve a good one and the rabbi
who consents to be looked upon
as 4 hired man does not deserve
better treatment.
| have not come here to lord
it over you but, on the contrary,
to serve you, to work with you
and for you. l have tried only
to define my proper sphere of ac-
ton and what your attitude must
be.
"Above all else, l beg you to
look upon me as your friend,
interested in your welfare, ready
to make your sorrows my own
your joys my own joys"

Richmond, Va, March 13.-The

eges and elections yesterday
when, following a statement by
Senator Goolrick, of the bond
proponents, in which he express
ed the hope that the opposing
sides might get together on some
plan of referendum and motion
by Senator Byrd that a sub
committee be appointed to adjust
the differences, such commit

this committee Senators Byrd

Senator Goolrick, speaking in re-
ference to the proposed measures,
said that there should be a state
wide referendum, and not re-

He added further that he could

to the Democratic party in the
state than for the legislature to
| ignore the will of the people as
expressed by a majority of the
voters of the state, as whole.
In an effort to speed up legis-
lation, and if possible, to bring
the special session to close by
the end of the week, the house
will meet each morning at ii

KEEP ON ADVERTISING

Here's a statement which appeals
to every line of business and industry
though it was originally intended
as a message to the public utilities
industry alone. 1t appeared in the
last issue of the Doherty News, a
publication issued by Henry L.
Doherty & Co., one of the nations
largest public utility operating or
CARNATIONS. This statement, headed,
keep on Advertising" reads:
"If a public utility, like a gas or
electric light company, is carrying
all the load it can, should it continue
to advertise? BY all means, but not
only to increase the demand for serv-
ice but to keep the interest of the
public in the company alive. 1t can
not afford to allow people to forget
that the company is one of the citys
most important enterprises and
stands ready to do its part in its
upbuilding.
ITO increase business is one of
the essential purposes of advertising,
but it is but one essential, to keep
alive the public interest in the store
or the concern is quite as valuable
an end and result of advertising as to
increase public demand for the wares
and products.
"There is no store or business
worth advertising at all but which
possess many relative facts that
would be good news to tell the public
through advertising space in the
newspapers whether more business
is desired or not. To gain new bust
ness is one problem of the merchant
or manufacturer, to hold trade al
ready established is quite another
problem. Judicious advertising is
the thing that goes a long way
towards solving both"

TOO MUCH AND NOT ENOUGH

We have too much politics and not
enough politicians in this country
too many followers and not enough
leaders.
From coast TO coast and from Can
ada to the gulf we see our political
machinery in the hands of a few,
controlled by professionals who make
use of every known trick in order to
prevent the great mass of voters from
expressing their free and unhampered
will at the polls.
In many cases they regard the pub
Tic as sheep, expected to follow the
bell wether wherever he goes. If
you can turn enough tricks for the
bell wether you may swallow a polit-
ical plum as reward. If not. YOU
Will be permitted to vote-as the bell
wether suggests. No tricks, no plums.
Every voter should be politician.
a leader. He should study political
conditions and insist upon the plac-
ing of our best men in public office.
A good republican is better than
poor Democrat, and a good Democrat
is preferable to poor Republican.
Yellow dogs should not be elected
merely because they wear the party
collar.
