the flag in question had been in
spected.
The answer to both questions was
in the affirmative. The officer also
stated, according to the director, that
all other flags in stock had been found
to be regulation.
A brother of Harry Fl. Bench, the
veteran whose coffin was covered
with the improperly made flag. had
reported the matter to the bureau.
The New York City Federation of
Women's Clubs has appointed a COM

Airplane VS.. the Battleship i'm Congress

On the other hand, naval officers
are gravely concerned over the recent
developments, realizing the popular
appeal of the aviation propaganda
with it's promise of cheap and effec-
tive national preparedness. They
fear that, as intimated by the Presi-
dent, no provision will be made for
modernizing the older battleships, for
proper maintenance of the fleet and
for construction unless the controver-
sy is settled.
The ound-the-worId flight by the
army flyers, spectacular and epochal
as it was, did not in the opinion of
the majority of experts warrant the
conclusions drawn in some quarters.
The one outstanding lesson of the
achievement, they say, was that it
demonstrated conclusively the depend
ence of aircraft on surface ships in
long-distance work. 1t is pointed out
that while the flyers were covering
their twenty-odd thousand miles, ap-
proximately $1,000 miles of steaming
was done by United States naval yes
sells in helping to put the flight across.

Sande Says He Will Ride Next Spring

Earl Sande, the premier American
jockey, now nearing the end of his
convalescence from injuries received
in the unfortunate spill at Saratoga
on August 6, is supremely confident
that he will ride again and DR.. James
Russell, the specialist who has been
in constant attendance on the injured
rider, is Of the same mind Sande
has clung to the belief that he would
again appear in the green and white
racing silks of the RancOcas stable,
despite reports that, if he did return
to racing, it would be in the capacity
of trainer. The boyish face of the
great rider lit UP with joy when he
expressed the belief that he would be
in the saddle for Trainer Sam Hill
dreth at the opening of the New York
racing season next spring and that
he would be able to complete the
last two years of his three-year con-
tract with the Sinclair stable.

L. P. Arnold, One of the World-Flyers

Lieuts. Lowell Smith and Leslie

have honors in store for them and
for all the world flyers. Chicago was
especially interested in Smith and
Arnold because it was they who flew

ship after Major Martins ship came
to grief. Technically Lieutenant
Smith was the commander of the

while Lieutenant Arnold was his mech

Actually Arnold is a pilot quite
as much as his commander. He ell
listed in the air service, got the regu-
lar training, served in France both
as flying instructor at Issoudon and
at the front with the First ObServa-

-. EN. FRANK L. HINES, direc-
tor Of the veterans bureau,
has begun an Investigation of
the origin and history of the
flag with only 40 stars which was dis
played by Mrs. Lillian r Sire before
delegates of the New York State Fed
Grafton of Women's Clubs in New
York.
SO far as he has been able to learn,
only one of the freak flags ever has
appeared in the veterans bureau
service. 1t was shipped from Perry
Vile, Md, along with five other flags
February Z, 1922, and was received at
Hospital No. 40, Philadelphia, Febru-
ary 16, 1922. At that time Perryville
was United States public health
service depot.
General Hines deplored published
assertions the bureau had contracted
for 100000 cheap, shoddy flags for
the collins of dead veterans.
Some time ago, according to the di-
rector, complaint was made that the
coffin Of soldier who died in Hos
pital No. 40 was covered with a flag
having only 40 stars. He Immediately
called on the medical officer in charge

the old airplane-battleship controver-
sy looms when congress reopens in
December.
Whatever the findings of the board,
and it is admitted on all sides that
they must be predicated on the basis
that the battleship is still the main
reliance in sea power, air enthusiasts
are laying plans for a drive on con-
gress to get full recognition of the
increasing Importance of aviation in
the national defense, with separate
air force as their final objective.
Heartened by President Coolidge's
recent utterances in which he voiced
his belief in the possibility Of the air
plane superseding the surface fighting
ship, they propose to demand that an
impartial tribunal hear their case and
that the aerial fighting forces be
placed in a position to be developed

A ! Coolidge has taken a long
" step toward arousing great
er interest in athletics in the
army and the navy, and in the coun-
try generally, by presenting to ath-
letic representatives of the army and
OF the scouting fleet a challenge cup
for football between service teams of
the two branches.
Indications are that, as a result of
this, one of the great annual athletic
events Of the future will center about
the Coolidge cup, or as it will be Off
cially called, the Presidents Cup"
The President summoned athletic
representatives of the army and the
navy to the White House. He then
formally turned over to them a cup
to be contested for every year by two
football teams chosen from officers
and enlisted men of the two forces
The first contest for the cup was
set for November %, at Griffith
<tadium. Each team will be composed
AZ one officer and ten enlisted men.
President Coolidge himself will
start the game and there is every in
dication that it will be a social and
athletic event, rivaling the contest
between West Point and Annapolis.

ANDALUSIA, Ala, June 11.-(Spe- cial Leased Wire. )--The meeting of the city council of Andalusia Tuesday eve ming was one of more than ordinary interest. The city council is composed of T. E. Henderson, mayor; Colonel Allen Crenshaw, councilman at large; D. l.. Thompson, Walter Davis, Dr. A. M. Richards and c. M. Reilly. The meeting was for the purpose of acting upon an ordinance which was prepared which embraces a. proposed franchise to be granted by the city to the River Falls Power company to enter Andar lusiA for the purpose of distributing its product. This franchise was granted. The River Falls Power company is a local corporation composed of Colonel c. A. O'Neil, E. L. Moore and Hal Stanley, the latter two residing at River Falls. This franchise has been pend- ing for about two years since the first application was made. The meeting last night was one of special interest be- cause of the fact that this company with the hydro-electric plant already completed at Can't with 5000 horse power and another plant in course of construction at River Falls with an additional 10000 horsepower will pro- vde an abundance of cheap power for Andalusia.

JaciA WenzIer Beats Champion Perry Adair
BOBBY BAUGH BOWS
 TO GREAT SHOOTING
Tess Bradshaw, Chris Brinke And Richard Hick
 ey Already Eliminated

LOUISVILLE, Ky, June 11.-John Bachman's record-breaking 6S, which put Bobby Baugh of Birmingham out of the running, and Jack Wensler's surprising defeat of Perry Adair, 1923 champion, were the features of the first days play here in the twenty-second annual southern hgolf tournament.
 Low scores again predominated, with Bachman's sensational performance overshadowing the field. The Rome, Ga, youngster was three strokes under par and set the amateur record for the course. Bachman's accurate putting was the outstanding light in his play, . though he was hitting lem straight down the fairway every time and getting good distance as we'll.
 Baugh made a ,brillian bid for vic tory in the face of this superhuman opposition. IIe turned in a "A, a score good enough to tie for the low medal score on qualifying day. At the turn he was five down, and, although he made game stand here, he lost on the fifteenth green when Bachman sank Q 12-foot putt for a birdie two.
 Wenzler overcame two down score at the turn to beat Adaif. Adair won the tenth in good shape, but WenzleH here reached the very tip-top of his game and squared the match-b by winning in succession the eleventh, twelfth and thirteenth to start the fourteenth all square. Adair got a good drive off, but was in trouble, on his approach and Wonders steady play placed him one up. Coming up to the eighteenth with the match dormie, Wenzler maintained his margin by winning the hole and with it the match. Their approximate scores. were Adair, 80; Wenzler, 76.
 Charles Black of Atlanta rather up. set the dope with a one up triumph over Chris Brinke of Louisville in . spectacular match. The scores were Black, 72; Brinke, 70.

i COLLEGE WILL GIVE
 SEND OFF TO CLUB
Final Concert At Birmingham. Southern Friday Night

Members of the Birmingham-South- ern Glee club who will leave Sunday on trans-continental trip to the Pa cific coast will be given a send-off by their fellow-students Friday night in a concert scheduled for the college au- ditorium at S:15 o'clock.
 Spirit at the college over the con- cert is said to rival that displayed on the eve of a football contest. and the whole institution is on the qui vive in anticipation of the epoch-making trip, which probably will be the longest ever made by college music organization.
 Gordon Erickson, director of the club, declared Wednesday he was enthusias- tic over the feeling at Birmingham Southern and the unstinted support that is evidently being given the club. Preparations characterized as actually 'feverish'' are being made by all mem bers of the business and directing 4staffs of the organization in the last few days before the tour.
 Birmingham public is invited to the final concert Friday night, and large audience is expected.
