Copeland Proposes Inquiry by

Senator Copeland Dem) of New
York today proposed a Congress
sional investigation Of the plan of
Secretary of Navy Wilbur to trans
fer all of the navy's lighter-than-air
activities to the Pacific coast. Cope
land said he intended to find cut"
why the transfer was suggested.
my first impression of the Sec
retary's order said Copeland. lis
one of Disappointment. am very
keen to find out why this was done.
1T would be a calamity to dis
mantle the dirigible bases and great
air stations like Lakehnrst, N. j.
it is bad policy to put all our
aerial eggs in one basket"
Copeland said the dirigibles could
be stationed on the Atlantic coast
and moved at win across the country
in time OF necessity.
He said he opposed the expense
of building new bases in the West
while dismantIing existing ones in
the East unless this action was
justified as a measure Of national
defense.

Pine Tar and Honey
Still Best for Chest
Colds and Coughs

Our mothers and grandmothers would
never be without pine tar syrup in the
house for coughs, chest colds, etc. This
was many years ago, but modern medi-
cine has never been able to improve on
this time-tested remedy. Doctors say the pine
tar is hard to beat for quickly loosening and
removing the phlegm and congestion that are
the actual cause Of the cough. At the same
time pine-tar and honey soon soothe and heal
all irritation and soreness.
The kind that has been used with never fall
ing success in thousands of families for years
is that known as DIR. Bells Pine.Tar Honey.
This is scientifically compounded of just the
right proportions Of pine-tar, honey and other
quick acting, healing ingredients which the
best doctors have found to aid in quick relief.
Il contains absolutely no opiates, narcotics OF
harmful drugs, so can be given TO young chill
dren-fne for spasmodic Group. IL tastes good,
too. Ifyouwant the best, amedicine that often
stops the severest cough overnight, be sure
you get DR.. Bells Pine-Tar Honey. 1t costs
only SOC at any good druggists.

THIldIIZH It's Kd|lI'G 'GdQS!
\ To the Citizens of Arkansas
Il The railroads of Arkansas by Senate Bills 92 and
~, are attempting to repeal by the present
Legislature of the Full Train CreI0 and Full SOtch-
ing CTeD LGUs. The Arkansas Full Train Creuv Lam
requires third brakeman upon all trains operated
through the State containing twenty-five more cars
The Full Switching Crep LalU prOUides that in all
cities OF the first and second class, yard cre1U shall
consist OF not less than foreman and three sUtch-
men, although the standard accepted crew is fore
man and tJCO SUtchmen
Under those LalUs the railroads are required to
employ an extra brakeman upon all freight trains of
Twenty-Five or and extra sIUitchman nt
an annual estimated cost of approximately $8OOOOO-
w. Whch expenditure is unnecessary either from the
standpoint OF efficiency safety of operation and
DhIch can be used to better adUantaqe in irpropno
the transportation service to you.
At the recent hearing before the Senate Commit
tee evidence lUas adduced that the third brakeman
tedUes the train at the state line uuaits there for
train back to his division point dralving full pav DUR
ing the period he is Wang for his home train After
the state line is reached the train is often increased
as to the number of cars and continues to its destina
ton Without the extra brakeman
The railroads are making determined effort to
increase transportation service decrease its COST
There is only other state in the Union that boso
FHH Train CreO LolO similar to that in Arkansas and
no other state IN the Union has such Full Slpitchuo

AS executives of the railroads of vo,r State wo
unhesitatingly declare that the trains upon tho df

HORSE
AQUEDUCT
WINNER
BY O'NEfL SEWER
Universal Service Racing Expert

NEW YORK, Sept. 1S.-Sarmati-
Gus, son of Sarmatinn and grandson
Of the world famous Sardanapalc,
Frances "horse of the century, won
stake for himself at Aqucduct yes
terday after many failures.
With 1875 pounds in the saddle he
easily defeated the Maiden Foch, the
western winner, Prince Ronald and
Tiger Gloss in the Oakdale handicap.
He covered six furlongs over a track
heavier than Wednesdays in 1 :13 and
picked IN $4075 for his owner, II.
L. Gerry.
Rock Star and Festival scratched,
although both would have got weight
from Sarmaticus. Presumably they
did not like the going or thought not
to like it. Sarmaticus was -favOrite,
first at 8 to 5, finally at to D.
Eoch, nm unnreposscssing maiden by
Underline, that had failed at Belmont
Park, ruled secoad choice over Tiger
Gloss and Prince Ronald.
Prince Ronald, an English colt, bore
lliC bllho VI a. iNihSSltg
He would have had more attention
in the betting for the place il his
trainer, NJ. W. Hoag. had not frankly
declared lie did not like the going. He
had won four or five races on a fast
track out west, but had been beaten
on slow ones.
A good locker, Prince Ronald beat
the cato under the crack western rider,
]. Smith, and led Sarmaticus and
Tiger Gloss by n couple Of lengths
down the back stretch and into the
far turn. But both had passed him
before any Of the three reached the
last corner, and three furlongs out
Sarmaticus took a lead of three or
four lengths which he held to the end.
Prince Ronald passed Tiger Gloss
quarter Of d mile from the finish
but succumbed in the last furlong to
Fochs rush and lost the place.
Sarmaticus appears to like racing
oyer the Aqueduct course. 1t was
at Aqueduct last spring that he de-
feated Navigator, Fiddlesticks, Paavo
and some others in the Hudson stakes.
