WORLDS AIR RECORD
243.68 PER HOUR
may Be BETTERED

Dayton, o.. Oct. la. PD-The
worlds airplane speed record of
243.6S miles an hour, made by Lieu
tenant A. j. Williams, u. S. Navy,
in the Pulitzer races at st. Louis a
year ago. Is expected to be beaten
by one of the three United States
army aviators entered in this event
at the International Air Races to be
held here october 2. 3, and 4.
/ The navy will not take part in the
races this year. This decision, made
early last winter conforms to poll
cy whereby the army is responsible
for the defense of the Pulitzer tro-
ply against international COMPETE
tors. and the navy accepts similar
responsibility with respect to the in
ternational seaplane races for the
Schneider Cup trophy.
The navy will defend this trophy
against competition from Great Bril-
tain and Italy at Chesapeake Bay
near Baltimore on October "a and rs.
There are no entrants for the
Pulitzer race this year outside of the
three United States army men. They
will fly planes that went through the
Pulitzer race at st. Louis last year.
Two of the planes. reconditioned Cur
tiss army racers. will be flown by
Lieutenant w. H. Brookley of Nc
Cook field and Captain Burt Skeel,
of Selfridge Field, Mich. Lieutenant
Harry H. Mills, of Wilbur Wright
field, will fly a Verville- Sperry mon

Much Advertising
BY Scottish Churches

Inverness. Scotland. Sept. PA.
p. by MaiD-This highland town,
which contains 81 churches to care
for it's "a 900 inhabitants. has much
to teach the advertisers whose recent
convention in London dealt length
lily with the problem Of church ad-
vertisifg. For a quarter Of q CEN
fury these churches have experienced
such competition that they have been
compelled to originate and use many
kinds Of advertising.
The papers of the city each wee
are filled with church advertise
ments. Also the churches have the
custom of sending men about the
streets with sandwich boards. and
the fronts and sides of the churches
themselves are resting places for
many placards. However, the meth
cd most used has nothing to do with
advertising agents. It Is entirely one
of sending out samples In the hope
that the churchgoer will want more.
The minister or one OF the church
supporters stands on q street corner
and delivers short sermons or an
nouncements while the permanent
congregation pass about hand bills.
This advertising evidently pays. FOR
almost every one here goes to church

stand at the start and finish Of the
200 kilometer triangular course.
The army entrants have stated
they expect to eclipse Lieutenant
Williams record by at least 20 miles
an hour They are figuring on a
speed of between 260 and 270 miles
an hour.
Lieutenant Alexander Pearson of
McCook Field, who was killed re-
Gently while he was flying the plane
on which Lieutenant Williams made
his record at ST. Louis had touched
a speed of 266 miles an hour. Pear
son was making a practice flight and
the wings of his plane collapsed
while he was banking for a turn.
: The Pulitzer trophy was first COM
peted for in 1920. 1t has been won
twice by the United States Army air
service, once by the United states
navy air service and once by a civil
ian flyer. In 1920 Lieutenant c. c.
Mosely won it with the then record
breaking speed of 156 miles an hour
and in the intervening four years
the speed has increased nearly 100
miles an hour.

Alaska Needs Sharp
Eyes to Count Fish

Anchorage, Alaska, Sept. 5-(A. p.
by Mail)-For the fourth consecutive
year hundreds Of thousands of red
salmon have been stopped and count
ed as they made their spawning
run" from the Karluk river into
Karluk Lake on Kodiak Island. The
work was under the direction OF c.
III. Gilbert, fisheries expert Of Stan
ford University.
A weir. or fish fence, was built
across the river during the fishing
season. The salmon were forced to
pass through small gates in the
fence to enter the lake. A Waterman
counted them.
Professor Gilbert points out that
II the number Of fish that return al
maturity to the spawning ground In
a certain year can be ascertained,
there will be DEFINITE Information az

nave and transepts. So great have
been the beetles ravages that the
whole roof structure Is In danger of
collapse.
The dean of the Cathedral has
launched an appeal for $4,000 TO
remedy the defect. Probably an even
greater sum will be needed for the
work. This is not the first ancient
English structure to be endangered
by the death watch beetle. Its raw
ages have been discovered In dozens
of the old Tudor and Norman roofs.
Westminster Hall built by William
Rufus was reopened only last year,
having been closed for eight years
while craftsmen replaced the work
Of the medieval carpenters which
had been gradually eaten away by
the destructive beetle.
The roof OF Henry Wits banquet
ing hall at Hampton Court Palace is
now undergoing similar treatment
for the same defect. 1t all shows
what constant vigilance has to be
exercised in preserving and renewing
the ancient English fabrics. There is
hardly an English cathedral which
has not a force Of masons constantly
at work replacing decayed and
weather worn stone.

Says His Prescription
Has Powerful Influence
Over Rheumatism

= Mr. James H. Allen. Of Is Forbes st.,
Rochester, N. T., suffered for years with
rheumatism. Many times this terrible dis
ease left him helpless and unable to work.
He finally decided, after years OF cease
less study. that no one can be free from
rheumatism until the accumulated impure
ties commonly called uric acid deposits
were dissolved in the Joints and muscles
and expelled from the body.
With this idea in mind he consulted
physicians. made experiments aod finally
compounded q prescription that quickly
and completely banished every sign and
symptom OF rheumatism from his system
He freely gave his discovery. which he
called Alienrhu to others who took II.
with what might be called marvellous sue

HAs.-JAMIsoN GETS ANNAPOLIS
APPOINTMENT.

A message received by A. A. Hunter
in this city last Saturday from Sena-
tor w. E. Borah brought the good
news that Charles Jamison, son OF
Mr.. and Mrs John Jamison and a
graduate of the Nezperce High School
in the class of 1923, who is now a
student in the Spokane University,
had been nominated for appointment
to the United States Naval Academy
at Annapolis, Md. Which nomination
practically amounts to an appoint
ment, providing the young man IS
successful in passing the required en-
trance examination, and this it is felt
he is amply qualified to do.
This is an honor sought by many OF
our youth, but conferred on few.
A cadetship at the q. s. Naval Acad-
envy carries with it a four-years'
course in higher education, with
branches required for naval officer
perdominating, of course. During his
four years. schooling the student is
paid $3.50 per year, besides being fur
nished quarters and board On grad
uation he takes the rank of ensign
in the navy, rank equivalent to first
lieutenant in the army.
