Countess Hella Von Brandenstein- Zeppelin, as the star passenger. She was accompanied by her son and two daughters. All the Friedrich shafen school children turned out to bid the Zeppelin family bon voyage over Lage Constance and the parts of Switzerland the airship intended visiting, weather permitting.
 It was planned to put the ship through various tests and perhaps during tho afternoon to give the twenty passengers a sightseeing jaunt o~er the Alps.

DEFENSE TEST TOMORROW

Tomorrow Is Defense Day, and a program regarded as betitting tl.e occasion has been arranged by committee of New Britain cltizens appointed for the purpose.
 The day has been set apart as test to determine the extent of CO., operation possible among cit'zenry in event a threat Of war made speedy cooperation necessary.
 The idea at first was variously &C., cepted, but the hullabaloo which greeted announcement of the plans a month or so ago has largely sub- sided Opponents of the president denounced the scheme as 8 war measure at first, but such opposition quietly died out as the plans became better known. Ridiculous things may have been said by its advocates, some of them emanating from the war department itself; but since that time the men at the head of the movement have acted in a reasonable manner and cynical criticism has been largely disarmed, although there remains considerable opposi- tion by certain Democratic papers headed by the New York World, which called the day "an incendiary holiday"
 pr, R. w. Sockman, pastor Of the Madison Avenue Methodist church, New York, is quoted as having made one of the best non-technical state- ments on the meaning of the day:
 If the defense test will be
 looked upon in the light of po-
 lice parade. as reminder of our
 
 hold law and justice both within
 and without our borders; If 1t
 will serve to show how small an
 army is needed to protect us;
 if it will convince the country
 that in case of future conflict
 wealth and labor will be con-
 scriped as faithfully as human life; if it will sting America
 awake to see that her real na-
 tional strength is not in material
 equipment, which is so rapidly
 scrapped. but in the physical fit-
 pcss, mental alertness and moral
 health of her people, and thus
 cause her to check up her
 progress in life-building, the
 Defense Day may serve some
 useful purpose"
 The speaker feared" that the day might become something more, but in the quoted paragraph told what the day ought to be, and what on the whole it probably will be.
 Everything depends upon the sense and judgment with which the exercises are carried out. Both these qualities, it is believed are prominent in New Britain's cele- bration. We are assured that the day will not be preparation for the next war" affair nor be identi- fled with political propaganda, but will be in accordance with the sug- gestions of Commander-in-C Chief Coolidge. "a -militaristic gesture for the purpose of keeping down tc it's lowest possible point the profes' sional military organizations of the United States"

THE VOICE OF MAINE

The turnout at the polls in Maine was the heaviest in the history of the state. Logic is against supposing that the heavy vote was due to the embattled citizenry going to the polls to give their collective o. K, to the national administration. Such a heavy vote in a state election Is caused by the appeal of local issues.
 The Waterbury Republican ana lyzes the figures of the Maine cleo ton thus:
New Britain herald., 1924-09-11

Tribune, another staunch G. Q. r. party organ. chortles the same way. Both of them must know at least two things very well--that Coolidge was not n campaign issue in Malne's state election, and that the Ku Klux Kan WIS the major issue, The Kluxers won with the help of those loyal partisans who didn't care about the Klan menace. But If the two metropolitan" papers quoted delve under the figures as thoroughly as the Waterbury Republican, con- science might dictate tendency toward caution and truth.

MONDAYS CARD
 NOW COMPLETE
Max SchOlder And Tom Lacey To Go Ten
 Rounds

With the finishing touches on ar engagements made for the Monday night card at the Athletic club, and with the advance ticket-sale greater than for any bout ever staged by the club, Match maker Evans is resting on his laurels now and awaiting for the mad scramble for seats to begin Monday night.
 The card is as follows:
 Young Smith and Kid Rich, four rounds.
 Young Adams and Joe Lechi, four rounds.
 Sailor Simpson and Young Hood, four rounds.
 Red Burke and Danny Stevens, six rounds semi-windup.
 Max Scholder and Tom Lacey, ten rounds wrestling.
 Johnny McGinty and Young Jack Dillon Id rounds headliner.
 Senor Evans also stated that McGinty would either reach Birmingham late Friday night or early Saturday morn ing. He comes in from New York where he has spent the past week working out with the lightweight champion, Benny Leonard. McGinty, who is now under the management of Billy Gibson, tried 10 coax the 1llustr1ous Billy to Birming- ham, but Billy had to decline this time, stating that he might come later on.
 The Irishman will spend busy time prior to the fight. There's the wife and the kiddie, the dozens of kinfolks and hundreds of admiring friends and SUD- porters whom he must meet and grasp by the hand, and then there's the tape ing off with his training work. Johnny will probably take couple of workouts at the Athletic club between now and the fight Monday night.
 Young Jack Dillon is expected to ar- rive in Birmingham Sunday morning. He will finish his training at the gym of the Louisville Athletic club this morning and will take no further work out after he reaches Birmingham.
 Club officials are looking for a record breaking crowd when the two stalwarts get together Monday night.
