 FOR NAVAL AVIATORS
Too Dangerous, Dept. Chief Says-Final Air Race
 Tomorrow

Washington, Nov. 5.--Further speed fliers such as those yesterday at Mitchell field, New York, were prohi- bited for an indefinite period under an order issued today by Rear Ad- miral ". A. Moffett, chief of the Blu reau of naval aeronautics.
 Admiral Moffett based his decision on an opinion by his technical staff that naval fliers now have achieved the maximum speed in the air which is possible without grave risk of hu- man life. The exhibition now in pro- gress for army relief at the Long Island field will be continued through the approved program, however.
 The admiral sent the following tele- gram to the naval officer in charge of the exhibition:
 Present my heartiest congratula- tions to Lieutenants Brow and Will Hams on their performances of yes terday. Both apparently have obtain ed maximum speed possible without taking unnecessary risks. Discontinue speed tests but permit both pilots to fly planes for army relief benefit"
 Mitchell Field. N. Y., Nov. B. Lieutenants Afford J. Williams and Harold J. Brow, navy airmen who were scheduled to renew their efforts to smash more world speed records, expressed regret today when stop order was received from Washington.
 They cheered up. however. when definite arrangements were made for them to fly tomorrow. wing 10 wing, in l2-kilometer race at the air carnival to be held here tomorrow for the army relief fund.
 Authorities at the field made it plain that one trick which more than any other had endangered the flyers lives must be eliminated. That Is diving from a tremendous altitude to pick up speed before darting across the starting line.
 Yesterday Williams, who once dove 9,00o feet, come within ten feet of death, when his plane. traveling al more than 25o miles per hour, just managed 10 straighten out before reaching the ground.
 Tomorrow's exhibition is expected to he even more thrilling from the spectators point of view than yester- days for whereas in the last few days the birdmen have been racing only against the clock, tomorrow they will engage in an aerial Zev-Papyrus match.

Genesis of Garrison S Finish

TACK PICKFORD'S choice Of the
- story OF "Garrison's Finish" for
his latest picture offers an illumi-
mating light upon the dark and mys-
terious processes by which ideas are
sometimes picked for the screen.
This picture has been released and
has been acclaimed in the cities
where it has been shown as his great
est screen achievement.
While searching about for a suit
able story for this picture he came
down to the studio one morning with
his head full of vivid dream OF the
night before. In the dream he had
been jockey in Long Island handi-
cap. Although riding the favorite
with all the odds on his horse. some
thing went wrong as he romped
along over the last furlong at the
came over him. and he almost fell
from his mount He came in a bad
fourth. Subjected to the grilIing Of
the Judges. he was accused OF pull
ing his horse and expelled from the
track. But later he made a trip TO
another part OF the country. where
an equally important race was being
held, and. with the help Of a girl, he
became rehabilitated as a jockey in
good standing, rode again and re-
deemed himself.
AS he told this dream TO the MEM
bers Of the studio staff one of them
directed Mr.. Pickford's attention to
the fact that a story almost Identical
In Its main outlines with his dream
had been written by W. B. N. Fergu-
son under the title Of Garrison s
Finish" The book was sent for, pur-
chased a short time later, and the
story was produced. This production
was the forerunner of a number OF
race track pictures, among them

Derby"

According to DR.. Eisen, who has
made scientific study of the goblet
since 1915. IL measures about eight
inches in height and is OF ample size
to have allowed Christ and His twelve
apostles to partake from it. This
cha1ice OF silver is fragile and gray
with the evidence of great age. There
is an inner cup. roughly hewn and un-
decorated, inclosed by an ornate she'll
of silver overlaid with goldleaf. On
this opter shell are sculptured IN bold
relief twelve seated figures and many
symbols Of Christianity. 1t Is the
opinion of DR.. Eisen that these figures
represent Christ and ten OF His
apostles. modelled by a sculptor who.
he thinks, must certainly have seer
the men. II this Is true, then these
are the only known portraits of Jesus
and His apostles on earth.
Twice is Christ fashioned on the
chaltce on opposite sides. One figure re-
veals Him as grown man, beardless
and grave; the other as boy OF
twelve or fifteen. holding the scroll

The silver of the cup is brittle and
1t appears to have been partly crushed
in an accident. DR.. Eisen states that
