Brough, Eng. The American army
aviators, continuing their world flight,
hoped off at 1924 O'Clock this morn
ing for Kirkwall, capital of the Dirk
ney Islands, off the north coast of
Scotland.
Thus began the first leg of their
journey over the Atlantic, by way of
Iceland and Greenland, to Indian Har-
Dor, Labrador.
Kirkwall, a town of $500 is situat-
ed on Houton Bay, on the northeastern
side of the island of Mainland, some
times called Pomona, the largest of
the Orkney group.
Stores of oil and gasoline await the
flyers there, and tow boats and repair
men are ready in case they are needed.
The weather was calm, with prac-
tically no wind and the sky somewhat
overcast as the aviators in their three
planes took off with the good wishes
of the small crowd, in the direction
of Marlborough head, the promontory
north Of Bridlington Bay, evidently
intending to follow the coast north
ward.
The six men were all in the best Of
health and spirits, and confident that
the success which has brought them
$4,000 miles on their pioneering flight
will not desert them during the last
stage of their endeavor.
Before leaving the ground Lieuten-
ant Lowell H. Smith, the flight COM
mander, said he expected to reach
KlrkwalI in, about six hoafa, and tkat
the departure from that place would
occur tomorrow or Friday. There we're
nc official ceremonies at the send-off.
The aviators arose at a o'clock and
at five were at the airdome getting
their machines ready and waiting TO
see what sort of weather would fol-
low the dawn, since It had been un-
certain heretofore.
There were no British or American
officials present at the take-of. 1t is
understood they will make their fare
wells to the airmen at Kirkwall, where
it is expected six British planes will
act as an escort to their American
brother airmen.
Brough is tiny village, but prac-
tically everybody in it turned out and
stood by from long before daybreak
until the aviators finally winged away
from the town where they had been
such welcome guests.

ment has made representations to the
governments of the United States and
JAPAN that the alteration of the ele-
walton of guns on capital war vessels

Bidingcr's Music Store is
Burglarized OH Tues
day Evening.
BROKE PANE OF GLASS
Thief Breaks Key in Door and
Window Pane Too; Gets
Two instruments.

"Music when soft voices die,
Vibrates in the memory,
Odors when sweet violets sicken,
Live within the sense they quicken,
And 50 thyseIf when thou are gone,
Love itself viii slumber on"
Twas a unsteady inclined thief
perhaps, who broke into the Bidinger
music store at 458 Market street, on
Tuesday evening and secured an as
sortment of music and musical lnstru-
ments. Maybe he had read Shelly,
but the bet in dollars to doughnuts
Is that he had not. And perhaps 1t
was the dough that he was after,
the dough" that the musical instru-
ments could be converted into by
sale. He secured loot valued at nearly
two hundred dollars.
Discover Burglary Today.
The burglary was not discovered un-
til this morning when Mr.. Bldlnger
came down to the store. Then ne
found that some one had been in the
place during the night and sent in a
report to the police office. Secretary
Of Police Emil Meissner was assigned
to the case.
The burglar had raised a storm win
dow, broken 15x15 pane of glass, and
crawled into the store. Before enter
ing through the window there wefe
indications that he had played at the
door and whistled into the key-hole.
The key was broken off in the lock
and watch fob attached had been
left by the thief.
Get Melody C Saxophone.
The most valuable piece taken by
the burglar was a Melody c saxo-
phone with silver plated gold bell,
valued at $142.50. The saxophone was
lying on display in the front show
window of the shop next to the usual
Bidinger entrance, that is in the win
dow of the DOLLAR Bill" store.
A mandolin, banjo style, which was
also lying in the window, was taken
together with the saxophone.
Other Thieves Here.
The report of the Bidinger robbery
was variation from the petty burg
laries which have been made here dur
ing the past week. Over the weekend
there were a number of physicians
and dentists Offices entered. Chief
Logan has received reports from Madi-
cen and from Waukegan and other
sowns in inc vicinity, stating that they
maze had similar burglaries.
II is believed that dope" addicts,
have descended on those Offices in
search of cocaine and other drugs.

'SYMMONDS is
OUT FOR OFFICE
F. Symmonds Files Nomin-
alton Papers for Dis
trict Attorney.
MAKES A STATEMENT

There will be ar interesting race
this fall to see who will secure the
nomination and later the election fol
the Office of district attorney. The
fact that more interest is shown In
this post than formerly is eylnced IN
the number of younger attorneys Who
are now running for the office.
Frank Symmonds is the last one to
announce his candidacy and one OF the
last on Tuesday to file his nomination
papers. Due to the fact that two
years ago there was contest for the
Office between Frank Symmonds and
Morris Barnett and much litigation
with the result that Mr.. Barnett won
under supreme court decision and Sc
cured the office, another interesting
element is injected into the case.
In conjunction with the filing OF
nomination papers, Mr.. Symmonds has
presented a statement addressed 70
the "Voters of Kenosha county"
1t reads as follows:
"To the Voters, of Kenosha County:
Nomination papers were filed Tor
me on Tuesday for the office OF DIS
trict attorney. 1t is but fair and
proper to make some statement re-
garding the matter, as | had before
decided to quit politics and give my
entire attention to private legal prac-
tice. However, within the last ten
davs. many of my friends have strong
" urged me to again get into the
race, and have proved their interest IN
my candidacy by circulating my nom
nation papers. The spontaneous re-
Spouse with which these have been met
has encouraged me to believe that,
should I be nominated and elected as
district attorney, there would be a
strong public sentiment to stand be-
hind me in performing the duties OF
this office, and make possible a con-
tinuance and extension of the program
inaugurated in my former occupancy
81 take the position that one who
hos held Office should not again seek
election unless sentiment demands It
.The earnest appeals that have come
to me from various quarters have per-
shaded me that the majority of our
citizens are eager to cooperate with
me in this matter of law enforcement
The perpetuity of our free government
depends upon the rights of all being
protected by law, with special privi-
leges to none. Our laws, as made by
congress and the state legislature, are
intended to give the largest liberty to
each individual consistent with the
welfare of ALL But law enforcement
requires community cooperation. With
the promise of this, voters of Kenosha
county, / again seek your support at
the polls in September"

ANE GREY has made herself
| famous.
L. Mary Carr will always be re-
membered for her work as the mother
in over the Hill" and Jane Grey will
never be forgotten for her work as
the wife who couldn't keep pace with
her husband in The Governors
Lady"
Miss Grey has leaped to the first
line of stars by her careful and in
telhgent work in THE Governors
Lady" David Belasco some seasons
ago saw dramatic possibilities in this
play and now a movie director takes
hold of the story.
There is only one triumph in this
photoplay and 1t belongs to Miss Grey.
There is a lot OF domestic hokum, but
it is the human stuff and not so ter
ribly overdrawn at that.
1t concerns the failure Of sweet
little home-loving wife who couldn t
become a great lady when her hus-
band grabbed off several millions for
himself. The little wife. who had been
his domestic slave for twenty years
before the money rolled into the bank
account, just couldn't make the social
grade.
Rather sounds like the Old old
story, but Miss Grey brings so much
sincere charm and mental suffering
to the role that you are bound to
agree that she has created a movie
role of great strength. l am villing
TO put her work down as one of the
real accomplishments in character
work on the screen in the last ten
years.
Robert HaiDes plays the role Of the
husband who forgot the early loyalty
of his wife. The picture has been
well directed by Harry Millarde.
Here is a human picture with smiles
and tears in it. and it contains some
of the best acting ION the part Of
Miss Grey that I have seen on the
screen for years.
My advice is don't miss The Gov
ernor's Lady" at the Apollo this week.
Will Rogers has a clever satire on
the movies in Big Moments From
Little Pictures" He does a burlesque
on the bull fighting scene Of Blood
and Sand" first played on the screen
by Valentino. He also pokes fun at
Douglas Fairbanks and other we'll
known screen players. Good fun.
At the Apollo all week.

one in the audience would have sus-
pected it, for she did not falter in Il
single bar or note, and in program
of this kind, the full capacity of the
voice was necessary.
She reached her high notes with
ease, her shading was beautiful, her
modulations effective, and her inter
probation was faultless.
Her accompanist, Bruno Solder
Winkler, not only deserves credit for
his perfect work at the piano. but re-
ceived applause for the several ar
rangements which he has so admir-
ably made.
The entire program was appreciated
by every one, and when the Spring
Song" was given as an encore, the
applause lasted for fully three min
utes. The blue Danube" nearly
created a riot, and the last encore by
Dvorak was greeted with prolonged
applause, and the artist and her ac-
companist came out again and again.
