THEATERS

Indians, Indians, everywhere but

the report brought back bv Tom
Mix when he returned from the de-
scrt where he made many of the
screens for " No Man s Cold Fox

seen at the Airlomc Thcater Sun

My and his outfit went to the
desert and when they establisher
camp there was no one in sight ox-
c'pt the fifty-thrcc actors. actress
cs, executives and others necessary
to the making of the picture. But
within half an hour visitors began
to pour in and it developed that
Indian runners had taken it on
themselves to dash across the
wastes and inform their tribesmen
that the "Big Chief of Motion Pie
turc Magic' had arrived.
BY nightfall the camp was sur
reunited DN lnulanS ana durlnT the
two weeks the outfit was at this
location the red men were there in
hundreds. Tony, MiX's wonder
horse, was one of the ccntcrS of at

Of Tony, his intelligence and train
ing. and they wanted to see him.
The desert Indians are not horse
men. Their country is too drv TO
produce horse feed and this lack of
feed has made them a race Of foot
travellers, but still they wanted to
see Tony on account of his fame.
Mix held reception for the red
skins and shook hands with each of
them. At times they were n nui-

their greatest meeting of the year
next Monday, Tuesday and Wednes
iday, Sept. IL, ii and -.
BY motor and train, the members
of the order are cOnverging from
many states, estimates of the prob
able attendance ranging from 5000
to 100000. The occasion is the
third bi-annual klonvocation of
the order, and the meeting, to which
state and national khan leaders have
been invited, is announced as
"purely Of business nature"
Many thousands of klansmen,
however, will attend unofficially,
and parade will be staged, which
may reach the tremendous proper
! tiOns of one held here at last year 8
huge regional kla meeting here.
One Of the principal items of bus,
: mess to be transacted is the selec-
ton Of an Imperial wizard as
world leader Of the order. Hiram
Wesley Evans, who has held this
position several years. has been rec
commended for reelection by recent
Chicago meeting of Imperial officer,
grand dragons and other khan off
GERS. and he probably will be named
FOR the position without much OPP
position.
1t was first planned TO hold this
meeting at Philadelphia, in the

Worlds Greatest
Light Aeroplanes
Will Hold Race

LYMPNE AERODROME. Hvthp,
Kent, Eng, sept. 1l.--'ihc world s
greatest light acroplane competition
for cash prizes totaIing $4,000 will
oncn here tomorrow It is one Of
the most eXacting light plane compe-
titions in that the winner Of the
first cash prize Of $4,000 will be
required to maintain n sustained
performance Of daily flying-rain
or shinn-bctween now and next
Friday, every other day over Il
different course ranging from PIP
TO @73 miles in length for total
distanc" Of approximately 1000
miles.
The same acroplanc and engine
must be used throughout the com
petition, but certain minor repairs
will be permitted the contestants
without disqualification.
The first prize Will 90 to the
light plane that during the six days
Of the competition carries the great
est useful toad per unit Of fuel CON
sumcd. \ J machines however will
be require. TO maintain an average
speed Of ~ least 80 miles an hour
and each III be required to carry
a load irc!ading pilot and passenger
Of not Io.e than $40 pounds.
In addition Tlior to actual parti-
cipation in flights the owner Of
each machinc was required to give
a demonstration of the practicable
litv of the machine from the point
Of view Of most private ownership.
This involved the dsmantling Of
the machine, housing it in shed
not more than ten feet wide and
ten feet high, its removal from the
shed and reassembly in time for
the whole process not to exceed an
hour.
The competition marks a new de-
parture in defining the limits of
light aerOplanc construction in terms
Of engine weight instead of engine
horsepower. Heretofore it has been
customary TO define a light aero
plane as an acroplanc with an en-
CINE Of not more than | 900 cubic
ccntimctrcs cvlil.der capacity,
which developed approximately 20
horsepower. In the present com
petition the only limit on the en-
gincS i Their weight. which il is
specified shall not exceed 10
pounds.
Great strides have been made in
the past vear in the construction Of
tight engines and the promoters Of
the competition expect that before
its close several pew world records
for light arroplane performance"
will have been established.
The money for prizes is being
put up by The Daily Mail of Lon
don, with Il view to the ultimate de
velopment of Il light airplanc that
is safe, economical, that can be
housed in a small space and that
can readily be handled on the
ground by one or two men.
