MEMBERSHIP DRIVE
Yaden Is Speaker at Rally to
Enroll Citizens in
Association.

The Edgewood Citizens Association
launched it's membership campaign
last night with its automobile parade,
a mass meeting addressed by j. G..
Yaden, president Of the Federation of
Citizens Associations, and a commu-
nifty block dance.
Mr. Yaden outlined the purposes
of the citizens associations and eX-
planned their value not only to the
communities which they further. but
to their individual members, and eN-
pressed the hope that the member
ship campaigns will be conducted in
"a kindly vet vigorous manner"
Most of the progressive steps taken
in Washington during the past few
years, he said, have been "fostered.
promoted and pushed by civic organi-
zations."
"rhe citizens associations represent
the wishes and opinions of the rank
and file of the people Of Washing
ton" Mr. Yaden concluded, land per-
sistency and insistency will result in
the obtaining of community improve
ments."
George r. Marble, president of the
EdgewoOd Association, is assisted in
the campaign by the following COM

Four Records Shattered.
Mai de Bernardi's flight today
shattered the four existing high speed
records for seaplanes, previously held
by Lieut.. Doolittle of the Army Air
Corps. They were the records for the
race, of 232.573 miles per hour; for
100 kilometers at 234.722, 200 kilo
meters at 234355 and the maximum
speed record for three kilometerS Of
245.713. Therefor, Maj. lie Bernardi
tonight enjoys the distinction Of
having flown faster, in a seaplane,
than any other living man
Porter Adams, president of the
National Aeronautic Association, who
presented the trophy to Maj. de
Bernardo tonight at a banquet, sent
the following cablegram to Premier
Mussolini:
National Aeronautic Association
congratulates Italy on its great vic
tory in the Schneider Cup race and on
the splendid sportsmanship of it's rep
resentatives."
The fastest lap Maj. de Bernardo
made was on the third. at a speed of
248.52 miles an hour. The first lap,
239 .443, was slowed down by the take
off, but he picked up to 247.071 on the
second. Then he dropped down to 241
on the fourth and fifth laps and on
the sixth reached 24S.492 again, end
ing the race at 247.207 miles per hour.
Another Test Planned.
Arrangements for stepping off
three kilometer straightaway course
here for Maj de Bernardo to fly over
for a new worlds maximum speed
record were being discussed here to-
night without any conclusions in
sight, however. If the dash is not
made here in a few days, the team
will depart for Washington, thence to
New York, from where ii will sail for
Italy.

capacity he flies and passes upon

gseements. He brought down several
enemy planes and was decorated with

Catalan Republican conspirators to q
bloody ambush across the Spanish

The Italian inspector shadowed by
Bringer was found to have false

against the safety of that country.
