NAVY REFUSES
]. ITO ENTER BIC
BALLOON RACE
Decision Means Little as
Contest Is One Of Quality,
Not Quantity.
START FROM KELLY
War Department Agrees to
Use Of Flying Field for
National Event.

The navy has definitely refused to
permit one of its balloons to be flown
in the National Elimination Balloon
race under the colors of the city of
San Antonio, according to announce
executive of the San Antonio Aero
nautic Association.
The department has also stated that
It cannot call naval reserve into ac-
tive duty for the purpose of plotting
one of its balloons, nor does its rules
permit the loaning of a balloon TO
others. Consequently the navy will
not be represented in the balloon race
this year.
The San Antonio race, however, is
one of quality and not of quantity.
Colonel Culver told the members of
the San Antonio Aeronautic Associa-
ton at a meeting at the st. Anthony
Thursday. Some of the best pilots in
America are numbered amoE.y the sew
en- entries so far received. Chances
for a new worlds record are very
good, he said.
Colonel Culver stated that he had
received a telegram announcing the
approval by the War Department of
the use of Kelly Field as starting
point of the race provided 10 per cent
of the net proceeds of the race. were
paid for its use. The association
voted to pay the amount stated TO the
person designated by the department.

ton has advised the San Antonio as
h.-N h., L. .~e
three balloons in the International
Balloon Race for the Gordon Bennett
Cup to be held at Brussels, Belgium,
June 10, 1924. The pilots of these
balloons will be the winners OF the
first three places in the National
Elimination Balloon Race, Colonel
Culver said.
The apparatus required for mixing
the gases with which the balloons will
be inflated has been loaned to the as
ISOLATION by the Chief of the Air Ser
vice. This apparatus has arrived in
San Antonio and has been taken to
Brooks Field. 1t will be inspected
there and taken to the BALLOON field
at the proper time. An effort will be
made to hold this apparatus at Brooks
Field for use in future races. The
association hopes to secure the start of
the next international race that comes
TO America. The race for the Gordon
Bennett cup always starts from the
country of which the winner of the
previous race was a resident.
Announcement was also made
Thursday that Maj. f. D. Lakeland
would furnish space at the Air Inter-
mediate Depot to be used for unpack-
ing the balloons entered in the race as
soon as they reach San Antonio.
Official headquarters in San An

The Brooks Field balloon that will
be sent up prior TO the start of the
race to act as. pilot balloon for the
participants in the national event, will
also make several aseensions prior to

thrown out during the flight announc-
ing the program for April %.
On the date of the race, this balloon
will ascend ahead of the entrants in
the race to serve as a pilot balloon by
which the contestants may regulate
their course. By watching the action
of the wind currents at various alti-
tudes on the pilot balloon, the en-
trants in the race will be enabled to
choose the most favorable air current
at the outset of the race.
The coming balloon race is unique
in the annals of balloon racing, Colo
mel Culver stated, in that the gas with
which the envelopes are inflated is a
combination of hydrogen and natural
gas rather than coal gas or the I'M
mixed product of gas plant.

Blackheads Go Quick
By This Simple Method

Blackheads-big ones or little ones
soft ones or hard ones-on any
part of the body, go quick by a sim
pie method that just dissolves them.
To do this get about two ounces Of
calonite powder from your druggist
sprinkle a little on hot, wet cloth
rub over the blackheads briskly for
few secondhand wash off. You'll
wonder where the blackheads have
gone. Pinching and squeezing only
open the pores of the skin and leave
them large and unsightly-while the
simple application of calonite powder
and the water dissolve them right
out. leaving the skin soft and the
pores in their natural condition.

The library of the Frankfort (Pa.)
post of the American Legion is one Of
the most interesting collections to be
found in the state More than / ,400
books are available. But the histor-

interest. The first American flag to
go over the top during the World war,
presented to the post by Edward Hol-
den, honorary colonel Of the One Hun
dred and Sixty-eighth infantry bat
talon of Woodstock, Canada, is one Of
the priced possessions. Other valu-
able relics are an American ambulance

flag that was used in the centennial
celebration in Philadelphia in 1876,
and Texas state flag captured at the
battle of Gettysburg.

"OLD MISS" PLANTATION
MANAGER

Miss Effie Moncure and l, friends of
half hour, were lunching on shrimps
and rice. 1t was quaint little res
taurant, not to be duplicated in any
metropolis. Neither are shrimps and
rice, cooked as these were cooked, to
be duplicated outside of Dixieland-
or of Shreveport, for all l know Ger
tainly Miss Moncure is unique in her
"side line"
I'll have to get back to work fair
ly early" she suddenly said. MY
black folks come in for supplies this
afternoon" Therein lay romance of
the feudal age. But the lord of the
castle had become a lady! And the
lady was the pretty young person who
had introduced herself merely as IAN
average private secretary"
A leading lawyer of this Louisiana
town is Also by inheritance, a planter.
His acres are planted to cotton, cult
waited on shares. Each of his fifteen
negro families has 20 acres. The
sharing scheme has become heredi-
tary, voluntary serfdom. The preach
err, for instance, is son of five genera
tons of negro preachers born on the
same soil, llliterate and perpetually in
debt to the current generation of own
ers. wildcat" a negro of recent lit
erary fame, grew up, Miss Moncure
says, on "her place"
When the owner had to go West for
his health, she inherited his oversight
of the place. Last year. despite floods,
replanting and low prices, she man
aged to make the rent and a $4,000
profit as against no rent and a $1,000
deficit before she took charge. She
has to advance supplies of every sort
for the full year in the proportion
these childlike negroes need, not
want; see that enough corn and al
falfa are raised for stock and that all
work steadily. She has to share all
their joys and sorrows, yet retain their
respect. Their nickname, "Old Miss"
applied to her under-thirty self, is the
final proof of their devotion and trust
in her, Shreveport folk say
That Miss Moncure has personality
goes, without saying. She is the first
woman of her family to work outside
her home. Her grandmother was "ths
earliest white woman settler on the
last river bank along the Texas trail"
and thus a founder of the Oldest fam
lily of Shreveport. Miss Moncure, to
become stenographer, made sure she
could "spell, translate French law,
and look up authorities" and thus
took herself outside the mediocre
class before she started
She believes that by staying in the
smaller place woman has "a better
chance Of becoming known in bust
ness, and retains the social position
which means good times"

and skins of grapes, converting them
into seed oil and seed cakes, in which
form they find a ready sale. It is as

Age 81 Has Tragic Meaning
for Average Man or Woman
U. S. Life Tables show health span extends only
from Is to 31-Earnings fall off
rapidly after 40

Physical freedom and full vigor-
what are they worth to yous This is a
question the average American can
answer from his own bitter experience
for at age 81 the average American
begins to slip. After 40 his earning
power drops off rapidly. Theg ap-
palling facts are shown by the Uhited
States Life Tables, 1920.
Age 81 The age at which men and
women should be entering their period
of greatest usefulness and happinessl
The beginning Of the supposed "prime
of life"
Not the prime Of life. The age of
decayi What causes contribute to
this fearful conditions
Unwise eating. Sleeplessness. The
loading Of the body with drug stimu-
lants, which appear to giUe added
energy, but actually borrow this
energy from the body's own reserve.
Every school child is taught to
avoid stimulants. Most mothers en-
force the 1o-cofee rule for children.
Then comes maturity-and the squan-
dering Of the reserve strength which
the, body has stored up. Figures show
that the average American is able to
stand the pace just % years. Then,
with half his life yet before him, he
hits the down grade.
Medical literature Classics caffein
as a poison. Like strychnin, it is
sometimes by doctors given in cases Of
heart failure. The average cup Of cof-
fee contains the usual dose Of caffein
administered In these cases.
Coffee contributes no nourishment to
the body. Its only virtues, as bever-
age, are its warmth and favor. A hot,
appetizing, dragless drink is benefit
with every meal

THE TOP OF THE POST
OFFICE LADDER

The hlghest-paid woman in the
United States postal service makes
$4,000 q year. AS a matter of fact
only five men postmasters in the coun-
try receive more than Elizabeth Barn
ard, mistress Of the Tampa (Fla.) Of
fee.
Married at eighteen, her soldier hus-
band left her a widow six years later
with two children, no income and no
notion of what she could do. The
first job she could find consisted of
weighing nails and measuring rope.
For this she received all of 81 a week.
Mornings, Moons and nights she served
boarders In her mothers home, racing
back and forth between jobs until
every ounce of endurance was
stretched to match the will that drove
her. There wasn't much left over for
mothering her babies.
Somehow she found between-while
minutes both at shop and home. Into
these scattered scraps of leisure she
poked correspondence course in
shorthand. Stenographer Barnard
more than tripled the income of Clerk
Barnard she went on Uncle Sans
pay roll at what seemed to her the
princely sum of 5000 per annum.
Sixteen years in the Tampa post
Office have found her moving up the
ladder rung by rung. There isn't an
assignment in the service that she
hasn't held down and made good on,
1t Is said. There Is a tradition that
she is the only woman entrusted with
the "man's job" of assistant superin.
tendent of mails.
perhaps willingness to serve abso-
lutte loyalty and attending to my du-
ties to the exclusion of outside infiu-
ences, explain my promotion" she said
recently in the Independent Woman.
''Then l discovered a long time ago
that when l can say Leave this to me
you needn't bother with it further,
the average boss is gratified"
Politically, her appointment by Mr..
Harding last January proved interest
ing to many people In both major par
ties. Florida is Southern, and there
fore normally Democratic, state, but
recent population growth has come
largely from Republican sections.
