Druggist Need Not
Renew Rum Permit

Washington, July 2S.-Agreement
has been reached between the prohibit
ton unit and the advisory committee
of physicians and druggists appointed
by International Revenue Commission
er Blair on new treasury regulations
controlling the lawful. production. dis
position and use Of intoxicating Ii
quors.
The principal change in the rules
will allow the retention of certain
classes of permits until they are re-
voked, which. eliminates the necessity
Of frequent applications for renewals.
The congestion incident to large num-
Der of renewal applications has caused
much delay in the issuance of permits
by the prohibition unit and the annoy
ance due to red tape caused the drug
gists to appeal to Commissioner Blair.
Existing regulations were issued
when national prohibition became effec-
tive. They were amended from time to
time, revisions becoming so numerous
that permittees found 1t difficult to
operate under them.
Among the most important changes
in the proposed regulations which have
been tentatively asreed upon," the pro.

Washington, July 29-Legislation
to require the Chicago Board Of
Trade to make public daily the total

Another proposal by the commits

brokerage or commission business in
futures for customers be prohibited
from specializing in grain futures for
their own account. Under present

The car delivery rule and the
settlement rule for defaulted futures

The commission found that the de-
cline in prices of the contract grade

declared, whether any definition to

drawstick to the right. which threw
the right wing down, and then push
ed the the draw-stick forward, which
threw the ship into q quick side
slip. The nose of the plane plunged
almost vertically downward and thus
Sparks was enabled to grab the fly
ing wire and pull himself UP. The
plane, by its sheer drop, was now
very close to the ground.
Sparks suffered sprajned ankle
in the mishap. and though he admit
ted he had experienced nervousness
for the first time, he did not lose
any of his nerve, he was evidenced by
the fact that the same afternoon he
went through his whole repetoire of
spectacular and dangerous stunts.

After being near death In practic-
ing one Of his daredevil stunts on
the Curtis plane, plated by Merle L.
Fogg, over the city of Lewiston, last
Friday morning, George M. Dare
devir Sparks again went up that
afternoon and the pair were tho
whole show at what had been sched-
uled to be stellar race meet, with
the aviators as an added attraction.
The races were called off, but the
crowd evidently was unaware Of the
postponement land headed for the
State Fair grounds Friday afternoon.
The Lewiston people were greatly
disappointed over the non-appear-
ance Of the fast steppers on the half
mile track, but went away highly
satisfied at the thrilling and spectac-
ular mid-air exhibition staged by
Pilot Fogg Of West Enfield, and
Daredevil Sparks Of Lexington. KY,
the same pair Of aviators who ex-
hibited for the ediflcation Of the peo-
pie of Augusta week ago.
Aviators Fogg and Sparks will re-
turn to Augusta, and will land on the
State Muster Field at about o'clock
this afternoon. They return to this
city and it's splendid aviation field,
which they pronounce as already one
Of the best If not the best in the
State, with possibilities of develop
ment into one of the best in the en-
tire country, with the hope of inter-
viewing Governor Baxter, who was
away on the Allegash trip when they
were in the city before.
Pilot Fogg hopes to interest Gov
ernor Baxter in plans for the develop
ment Of aviation in Maine. and will be
prepared to supply the governor with
whatever information he may desire in
regard to the needs of making the State
Muster Field an ideal aviation center.

Both Mr. Fogg and his partner are
keenly interested in the future Of avia-

Sparks, noted daredevil" narrowly
escaped falling to his death while
practising new balancing feat on the
tip of the upper wing of the airplane
above their landing field on upper Main
street. Lewiston. Friday morning.
Sparks owes his life to his pilot and
friend1 Merle L. Fogg of West En-
field, who dared a combined sideslipe
and nose dive, at the risk of crashing
to earth himself, making it possible for
Sparks to sieze wire and Chamber to
the wings again.
Sparks and Fogg were rehearsing
feats for their first performance at the
State Fair grounds Friday afternoon.
Sparks was standing on the right wing,
at the very tip. balanced by the wind.
He was bending forward slightly.
when suddenly the plane struck an air
pocket and dropped away from the
'daredevil'-a space of four feet sepa-
rating him from the machine.
Sparks went headfirst over the
plane, stretched out to reach the guy
wires but missed them, and quickly
jutted his foot to save his life. His
ankle caught at the intersection of
the strut-a wooden prop vertical be-
tween the upper and lower wings
