STRENGTHEN AIR CODE.
Engineers Would Require Dual
Ignition in High-Power Craft.

The section on power plants of the
American aeronautical safety code
has issued a requirement for dual
ignition for aircraft engines of over
100 horsepower, according to an an
nouncement yesterday by the Bureau
of Standards and the Society of Auto
motive Engineers. Two or more
spark plugs per cylinder and at least
two sources of primary current
should be provided. according to the
code. and each source should be cap
able Of operating the engine. Pres
sure fabrication and self starters are
recommended, while all motors Of
more than 200 horsepower are re-
quired to have some means Of start
ing other than by turning the pro-
peller by hand.
The code. which is being prepared
under the auspices Of the Bureau Of
Standards and the Society OF Auto
motive Engineers, is based in this
part on an internal combustion en-
gine similar to those now in general
use. New types Of engines are re-
quired to undergo type test before
acceptance, this test including meas
urements Of the power output from 20
per cent below normal speed to per
cent above, and a 50-hour durability
run.

Text Of Speech.
Tho actual words Of tho Senator's
speech as contained in a stenogrA-
piers transcript of his speech and
approved by him were:
"It bureaucratic extravagance)
presented a problem in government
that no other President, and do not
wish to speak disparagingly OF the
great men who have gone before,
but which no other President had
the courage to raise and stand upon.
"He vetoed bill after bill-popular
bills-bills which might have drawn
to him hundreds of thousands of
votes; bills which, as mere politt-
clan, he would have signed He vetoed
them because he proposed to stand
between the people of this country
and those who were attempting to
make unjust and unnecessary de-
mands upon the people. Whatever
you may do in this campaign, you
cannot take that issue away from Cal
Coolidge.
"You know courage is rather a rare
thing around Washington, and it re-
quires more courage to stand up
against unnecessary and unjust ap-
preparations than almost anything
can think Of"

nominated next year in primary.
nave suddenly taken to cover and
grown so silent that it is creating a
good deal Of comment
OF the ten or more candidates men
tioned-either directly or through
friends-there is not one who has
come TO the fore on the proposition
to amend or repeal the VoIstead act.
All, so far. have stood for enforce
ment of prohibition, or they have
been oppreSsiyely silent 1t is be-
lieved this would be a propitious mo-
ment for the wet forces to bring
man forward and 10 compel all other
candidates not SO far announced on
that issue to make declaration and
to give the voters a chance TO regis
ter their views.
That the La Follete and third party
ticket is showing strength in all
parts Of the State is apparent, and
that there will be a far greater vote
cast for that party than was be-
lieved possible is indicated. There is
no chance whatever for the State to
leave the Democratic column, but
there is belief that the third party
will, this year, come very near to
taking second place in Virginia. Ad-
mittedly the bulk of the third party
vote will be found in the cities. where
there have been more or less signs of
independence on the part of the
voters, but in the rural districts there
will be found accretions for the third
party, largely from the Democratic
ranks.
The Democrats Of the State and Of
the ninth district are to put all press
ure on the fight in that section be-
ginning with Monday, the one idea
being to see that Representative
Peery is returned to Congress. The
withdrawal of L. P. Summers from
the fight and the nomination of H. c.
Harmon of Tazewell by 4 committee
which met outside of the district. or
whose name was placed on the ticket
in lieu of that of Summers puzzled
the voters of that section. The Re-
publicans in that territory are badly
split, due to the fact that several
of the leaders were anxious to heir
the seat that Slemp surrendered, and
there is soreness on that score in
every part of the district. The quick
selection of Harmon has not healed
any of the soreness. Harmon is a
man of means, a business man and
lives in the same town with Repre-
sentative Peery, they being related by
marriage. HORACE A HAWKINS.

DAWES, IN KANSAS,

WICHITA, Kans.. October II
Charles G. Dawes, Republican candi-
date for Vice President, visited Kan
sas today, not asking Whats the
matter with Kansas" but Where do
you stand, people of Kansas"
Mr.. Dawes asked this question in
rear platform speeches at Atchison
and Emporia, at a noon meeting in
Topeka and at night rally in Wich-
ita-
The choice as he outlined it lies be
tween standing on the Constitution
with President Coolidge and align
ment with the Socialists and others
opposed to the existing order OF
things behind Senator La Toilette, the
independent candidate for the presi
dency.
He professed to have no doubt
about the final answer to his question,
for he repeatedly declared 'There is
no radicalism in Kansas" and that
lin no section Of the country is the
call to the colors more eagerly re-
sponded to at any time than by TIE
people of Kansas"
Here is Kansas as in Nebraskes
Wyoming, Iowa and Minnesota, the
other States he has visited on the
present speaking tours, Mr.. Dawes
presented only the alternative O.
Coolidge or La Toilette, making no
mention whatever of Davis and the
Democratic candidacy despite the fact
that Kansas for two years has had
Democratic State administration.
He likewise refrained from touch
ing upon what leaders of his parrs
consider the real campaign In Kar~
sas-the contest in which JONATHAN
NJ Davis, Democrat; Ben S. Paulen.
Republican, and william Allen White
Independent, are seeking the govern
orship. He spoke in Mr.. Whites
home city of Emporia, but Mr.. White,
who is making his campaign with op-
position to the ku klux klan, as his
issue, was campaigning in another
section of the State.

more important railroad ceuters O:

The consul generals information is
to the effect that the attack was un-

tion of antiwhite or anti Christian
character against the Imprisonment Of
the extremist leader, Ottama Pongyi,
who was sentenced to several years
on the charge OF making speeches
likely to cause dissatisfaction.
A number of Buddhist monks. II is
said, had vowed vengeance on the po-

on the street. The monks were armed
with sticks and knives. They beat the
GleasonS to the ground and cut and
bruised them about their heads. The
assailants then fed to a Buddhist
