Weekend Proves
Excellent for
All VacatiOnists

saturday and Sunday were hne
days for the "Vacationers." Satur-
day was very warm and muggy and
many plans were lLade for the next
day, all endeavoring to think Of the
coolest place in the radius of so
miles. About $40 P. NJ. it started to
sprinkle and at 10 o'clock a slight
thunder storm passed over, followed
by others through the night. Sum-
day came a bit cooler than the day
before but still with conditions
which made the indoor-working in
dividual cast longing chances towards
the automobile and then at the
street, and finally at the sky over
head. Many of said individuals did
after much consideration and pom
deration" pack up a picnic dinner and
start for some nearby lake or river.
Some of the more daring and younger
people set sail for summer resorts
quite a ways away from this city.
A fine time most Of them had, the
dinners were delicious. the water
superb, the roads wonderful, the
weather-but alas about 5 o'clock in
the afternoon a heavy rain came
down, driving everyone to places Of
shelter. At some of the lake roads
in the country it made things very
slippery and the driving was quite
difficult. Farmers were glad of the
rain for the crops. but few of them
who had worked on the Sabbath,
moving the hay for Mondays har-
vest, were disappointed at the wealth
er's turn.

When Benjamin S. Pierce, who has

after. Mr.. Pierce keeps his car down
in back of the garage and this par
ticular night he shut up the office
a little after 10 o'clock and walked
down for his car. When he found it
missing, he Immediately notified the
police department who started a
thorough hunt. Two of the firemen
at the Central fire station told him
that they had seen the car leave and
that they spoke to the driver as he
went by, but got no answer. Sud-
denly someone spoke up and said,
THAT looks like Ben's car over
across the street." And indeed, it
was the very car, deserted by the
Of Maine street, by the water hy-
drant. Mr.. Pierce stated that he had
practically no gasoline or oil in the
car and that the robbers probably
had inspected and found that they
could not get far without replenish-

ITALIAN PREMIER
SCORES TRIUMPH

Rome, July Is (By A. pat the
conclusion of a speech delivered In
the Italian Chamber in defense of his
electoral reform bill, Premier Musso-
lini today scored triumph which is
quite unprecedented in the annals OF
the Italian parliament. Deputies
from all sections except the Extreme
Left, including even some of the
Catholic, or popular, party, rushed
upon him and carried him shoulder
high around the chamber, while
those in the tribunes rose TO their
feet and sang Fascist songs.
Former premier Orlando and Clio
litti were among the first to shake
hands with Mussolini and congratu-
late him, and the premier was deeply
touched by the unique demonstration.
Regarding the accusation that his
bill was suppressing liberty, the pre-
mier asked "What is Liberty?' and
| declared: There is no such thing as
absolute liberty, yet many forms of
liberty exist. The socialists always
asert that there liberty, and clamor
for liberty of work; yet these same
socialists do not hesitate to commit
injuries against free work.
Turning to the socialists he ex-
claimed; '1n Russia is there liberty
or assembly, of parliament?" And
he anwered emphatically MOI"

Bishop Blake Denies
He Endorsed Soviet

New York, July 14.-Denial that he
had at any time endorsed or given
his support to the Soviet government
was made today by Bishop Edgar
Blake of the Methodist church in q
letter to the Christian Advocate, Or
gan of the Methodist church.
Il did not endorse the Soviet gov
eminent nor did I commit the Meth
odist Episcopal church to its support
in any way whatsoever" he declared.
1.-The present form of government in
Russia and the means and methods
used for it's support do not approve
and have not at any time or in any
way endorsed or given them my sup
port.
1.-THE report that I said "Tikhon
had lost the game and must pay the
penalty" has not the slightest truth
in it. The only interview I had in
Russia or elsewhere regarding the
Patriarch were with the representa-
itves of the Soviet government, with
whom I interceded in the Patriarch's
behalf. and with certain leaders Of
the council, whom I urged to use
their influence to prevent any per-
sonal harm coming to Tikhon."

Concord. n. H., July 14-Federal
Prohibition Director Jonathan S.
Lewis said today the alcohol toters
from Massachusetts, give him and his
seven deputies much more trouble
than the runners from over the
Canadian border. Lewis estimated
that 10 gallons of alcohol are brought
into the State from Massachusetts,
for every gallon Of liquor from Can
ade.
He admitted it was impossible to
keep conditions ideal from the pro-
hlbition viewpoint with only seven
men to chase the horde OF bootleg
gers. bue he declared that effective
work was being done in stemming
the tide of booze by his men.
Only one large commercial still
has been seized by the federal officers
in New Hampshire during the last
year, Lewis said. those found being
usually of the wash boiler variety,
which indicates that the soutside dis
tillers are supplying the demand in
New Hampshire.

HOSTILE PLANES /,
MUST BE FOUGHT
WITH LIKECRAFT

Washington, July 16.-Whtie post
war development Of anti-aircraft
weapons has been satisfactory in the
opinion Of American military experts.
recent game board experience at the
army war college served to stress
sharply the fact that airplanes them
selves will in future form the chief
defense against hostile aircraft.
In the course Of the war game play
ed at the college here as the conclud-
ing work of the class just graduated.
a combined army and navy defense
problem was set in which a hostile"
fleet made a surprise attack on the en-
trance to Delaware Bay for the pur-
pose of landing an enemy" military
force of 100000 men. When word of
impending fleet attack reached the
blue" or defending commander, his
forces were so disposed that he was
compelled to rely on aircraft to repel
the attempted landing and rush theo-
retical feet of bombers to the scene.
The blue" aircraft resources were not
sufficient to provide an adequate fleet
Of combat planes to accompany and
protect the bombers in their mission
against the enemy feet.
The enemy naval command. how
ever, ndu anticipated
tense and came in with all available
combat planes crowded on the naval
airplape carriers to be sent out on the
approach to shore.
War college umpires were compelled
to award victory to the enemy" air
fleet because of the lack of fighting
planes to defend the defending bomb
ing squadrons. The umpires ruled that
the enemy landing had been accom-
plished.
The war game. however, was not of
a nature to serve as any test of the
various types of land defenses against
aircraft developed since the war to
supplement fighting air squadrons in
protection of cities or camps against
hostile bombers.
A recent war department memoran-
dunn described five new types of anti
aircraft guns now in process of devel-
opment and also ne wsearchlight OF
enormous power to be used for the
same purpose. The first Of the new
guns is the so calibre machine gun with
a range Of about $4,000 feet horisontal-
ly, and q straight UP range OF 1000 TO
$4,000 feet, and a rate of fire Of about
500 shots a minute. Fire control is
maintained with this gun through new
tracer ammunition, visible night or day
up to $500 yards.

great success this year. Over 100
pupils are enrolled and the daily at

signs. Nature study has also been
of much interest to all, as the cIas-
ses go out each day to search for diff
ferent plants, and odd developments
in natural surroundings.

Thomas Jefferson, "thus pave the
way for moral and material sue
cess" -
Back of all success In life must
he character. No one ever has
really succeeded without it. by
success is not meant alone the &C.
complishment Of great deeds. ~~ A
good life is a successful one.s- A
good housewife is a success. A
good mother is a success. A good
citizen is a success. And when
one analyses the success Of those
who have been the great leaders
of thought and action one finds
that Notwithstanding tremendous
mental power and broad vision,
they possessed the outstanding
feature of character. How. i'm
portant for example, was this fact
apparent in the cases Of such men
as Lincoln, Franklin, Jefferson and
Washington.
Our characters are moulded~by
our daily habits. The young man
for example who charts his career
and then adheres strictly toshis
plans will succeed. This means
that every day he must overcome
obstacles and resist temptations.
Thrift does not mean alonesthe
saving of money. Your bank-book
or your investment strong boxsdo
not entirely tell the story of~the
value of your thrift. There is some
thing in the heart and in the brain
that are even of greater value.
Practice thrift, not alone because
of the rainy day or for the period
Of old age, but for all it will mean
to you in the days of activity and
progress as we'll. y

Claims Majestic
Larger than Leviathan

Berlin, July 14--(By A. P.)-The
steamer Leviathan of the United
States Lines, must concede to the
Majestic, the White Star liner, the
honor of being the largest vessel in
the world, declares former Vice
Admiral Carl Hollweg, one of Ger
manys foremost naval experts. The
Ma jestic, which was formerly the
Fuerst Bismark, measures 1888
meters longer than the Leviathan,
which was the Vaterland. That was
absolutely the only difference in
their measurements when they left
the ways. according to data which
Admiral Hollweg obtained from
Blohn & Vloss Of Hamburg, who
built both steamers. The formers
added length gave her an advantage
of 22692S gross tonnage.
