BANS "OFFICIAL" MARK.
Trade Commission Orders Golf
Company to Drop Brand.

Selling of golf balls with the word
Official branded on their covers is
violation Of the law, the Federal
Trade Commission ruled today, unless
the permission for such branding has
been granted "by some competent au-
thority." The Allied Golf Company Of
Chicago, under the decision, was Or
dered to cease such marking.
The method of marketing its pro-
duct, tho commission found, has a
tendency to mislead and deceive the
public into the belief that golf balls
so labeled are official and that they
are designated by the United States
Golf Association and the Royal and
Ancient Club as adopted officially for
use in all tournaments or contests
conducted by or under the auspices Of
these two organizations, which Is not

FITZGERALD BILL
OPPONENTS HEARD
Insurance Men Attack Com

Federal Monopoly.

Opposition to the Fitzgerald work
mems compensation bill is now hav-
ing Its innings before the subcommit-
tee OF the,i House District committee
of which Representative Roy C. Fitz-
gerald Of Ohio is chairman.
This opposition is led by attorneys
and Legislative representatives Of the
mutual and casualty concerns. which
are against the Fitzgerald bill on the
ground that It would establish a gov
ernmental monopoly in the Capital
which would have a sinister influence
on :legis alton throughout the states.
They claim they can furnish insur-
auce to workingmen in the District
of Columbia through their employers
cheaper than a government fund. such
as Representative Fitzgerald would
establish. They urge that the field
should be left open to competition
and the employer allowed to choose
between the government fund and the
private Insurance concerns.

A Costly Lesson

On. Y. WOrld)
The tragic death of Capt. Skeel in
the Pulitzer Trophy race should serve
as a bitter lesson to the military au-
thorities and the appropriation COM
mfttees who form our aviation pol
icies.
Every year since the first race in
1920 up to the present year the army
and navy have produced for this
test new and more perfect types Of
aeroplanes. These more perfect de-
signs in their turn improved the
whole process of aeroplane building,
both military and commercial. That
was the object of the trophy. Every
year up to this year the race has
been won Mt higher speed--in 1920
at 1865 miles an hour. In 1921 at
1867 miles an hour, in 1922 at 2050S
miles an hour and in 1928 at 243.67
miles an hour. And in none of these
years has there been a casualty.
This year no effort was made fur
under an agreement with the army,
made no entry for the race. The
army entered four old planes.
Capt. Skeers plane was one built
IN 1922 and equipped with a 425-
horse power motor. For this wears
race a 515-horse- power motor was
installed in this plane designed for
425-horse- power motor. The win
ming plane also had a more powerful
motor installed in it, The result was
the perversion of a scientific test of
high military and commercial value
into mere spectacle, futile and as
1t turned out, most tragic.

the winner of the race, counting death
by pushing his obsolete plane to the
utmost. made 27.12 miles an hour less
than last years winner.
Thus the only value of this race
was the lesson for which we have
paid most shocking price-that the
