A graphic pictorial history of the
World Flight, in which the United
States Army aviators, with the help
of the United States navy ships and
personnel, were able to beat the
world by completing the first aerial
circumnavigation of the globe. was
shown Wednesday right at the Au-
Gusta City hall before a crowd of
about 1900 people, including Govern
or Ralph O. Brewster. members of
the Executive Council and Legis-
lature. the American Legion, Kiwan-
is and Rotary clubs. Mayor Mclean
and members of the City Government
and members of the National Guard
companies stationed in this city.
There was also picture composed
of several reels, showing briefly the
growth of aviation from the first
glider used by the Wright brothers
I to the latest type of Barring Momber
capable of carrying a load of three
tons, and to the fast pursuit planes
which fly at rate of 275 miles an
hour.
Porter II. Adams. vice president
of the National Aeronautic AssoCia-
ton. was presented by Colonel
Francis II. Farnum at the opening of
the meeting. and told in a very con-
else way of some of the records
which have been repeatedly smash
| ed. Among other figures that he
| quoted were the following: Present
record for speed 27S miles an hour
record for altitude 39,500 feet record
| for continuous flight in the air sc
hours. four minutes, continuous
flight 2516 miles.
Mr.. Adams declared that the Unit
ed States has produced the best
| planes, engines and pilots of any
| country in the world and that while
there is not large quantity of them
| at the present time, we are in po-
| sition to turn out the same high
| quality of products in great num-
| bers in case of necessity.
He stated that the country is back
! ward in the development of CONNER
| cial airwayS but that this would
| probably be overcome shortly. lr
| fact he regarded the recent step Of
| congress whereby the post office de-
| partment was authorized to extend

! rection. He declared that there is
no reason why there should not be an

should he received in Chicago the

Don't Neglect
Coughs and Colds

Weak Lungs or tuberculosis
Says Well Known Physician
Who Tells What To Do

If people only realized the serious
ness of common colds and the dam
gers of neglect or improper treatment
many cases Of Pneumonia and Bad
Lung conditions might easily be
avoided!
So-called "Coli breakers" patcn-
ted pills and tablets designed to treat
effects are seldom of any benefit. The
proper way to treat q condition
where congestion or Inflammation
leading to the Lungs is filling your
system with poison-is to supply in
ternal medication with direct action
on Lungs and respiratory tract.
For many years I have used in my
regular daily practice special
creosote prescription with truly
wonderful results. This prescription.

Based on this rema rkable record

VERY sincerely yours,
