JOSKE'S SUPPLIES
ALL DRAPERIES In
PALACE THEATER
San Antonio's Large De-
partment Store Displays
Versatility of Its Service.

The stage curtain, hangings and
draperies in the new Palace theater
which have evoked much favorable
comment, we're made by Joske Bros.
Company of this city.
Outfitting theaters with such
things as curtains, hangings and
draperies formerly was considered
possible only by firms specializing in
such work, but this theory has been
exploded by theater managers who
were enterprising enough to keep up
with the advances made in this field
by the large stores.
Joskes has received many compli-
ments on its work in the Palace.
IL has t2en declared by those who
have been in the largest theaters in
the country that the Palace draperies
and hangings will compare favorably
with those found in the finest play

AIR SPEED RECORD
 AGAIN SHATTERED
Marine PIer Reels Off 259 Miles
 an Hour

Mineola, N. Y, Sept. 1S.-Lieut L. H. Sanderson of the marines, one of the trio of navy aviators who smashed the worlds speed record three times last week, hung up an other unofficial mark yesterday when he travelled at the rate of 259 miles and hour in a navy Wright fighter.
 Lieutenant Sanderson was helped slightly by northeast wind. If his time was figured accurately he trav- eled faster than any man has ever travelled before.
 The official record was first passed last week by Lieutenant Sanderson, who travelled over a measured course, clocked by an electric timer, at 23S miles an hour. A few sgdays later Lieutenant Harold s. Brow broke that record, and yesterday Lieutenant AL ford J. Williams attained speed of 255 miles an hour.
 Final Trial Today
 The navy Wright fighter will be given final trial today by Lieutenant stephen Galloway, who will try to sur pass his brother officers in speed. The ship is entered for the Pulitzer race to be held at St. Louis, October 3.
 Lieutenant Sandersons feat was re- earded as especially remarkable be- cause he travelled at such a tremend- ous speed while flying only 75 feet from the ground. The reason given for this was that the machine in dropping from a high altitude and strengthened out just before reaching the ground. attained greater velocity before starting the speed test.
