1 radio representation of one, as the old variety was in 1906, you know! | They had-they had a bicyclst come out there and ride around. He got puncture and the act fell flat (We don't approve of that remark. whatthesoeyer). Joe and Moe told all the old jokes in creation and wound up by singing. I was saying what the announcer said-and wound up by singing the latest song hit. just off the press in New York city, 'In The Good Old Summer Time" Notice how we led up to that climax? They finished that part Of the program with a motion pie ture which, it was explained, was used 10 drive people out of the house and get new audience. (Did you like them?) Yes, the program was pretty good, novel and-wo wish we could remember some of those jokes! We're trying 10 think who was announcing.

ITALIAN FLYER IS
 AGAIN VICTORIOUS
Wipes Out U. s. Last Claim to
 Air Title

Norfolk, Va, Nov. IS R-Amer- icas last claim to air racing su- premacy was wiped out yesterday be- fore the spectacular flying of Major Mario De Berl.ardi Italian army off cer, who piloted his little red mono plane over a straightway three kilo- meter course at the average rate for four laps of 25 .Si3 miles an hour.
 His speed bettered the world sea- plane record for the distance, made in 1925 by Lieutenant James H. thirteen miles an hour. Doolittle's record was 245.S13 miles an hour. The land plane record is 27S.4S miles held by Adjutant Bonnet of France.
 De Bernardo, in winning the Schneider cup race last Saturday. es- tablished a new speed mark of 246.- 496 miles an Il ,ur for the $50 kilo- meter course, and ruined America S chances to gain permanent possess sion of the trophy. He also set up records for the -kilometer closed circuit at 24S.1S9 miles an hour and the -kilometer closed course at 24S.0O025 miles.
 Although the Italian battered Doo- little's three -kilometer record in the flight Saturday his new mark was not officially recognized at that time. His best speed for the three kilo- meter course yesterday was 272.1S2 miles with the wind and his slowest, 24S.232 miles lst the wind.
 The test was made over a meas ured route off Willoughby Beach and was timed by the same devices and officials who acted in the Schneider race.

this consideration for the welfare of
of the state and the criminal, there
has appeared for the first time In
five years a decrease in the number
of criminal offences and decline
of twenty percent in the prison popu-
latiOn of our state. During the
present year there has not been
single murder committed in the
State of Maine.
AS we shudder at the entrance Of
Federal authority into matters form
erly thought of purely domestic
concern, we shall remember the
warning of the Federalists century
ago. THE people of each state Will
be apt to feel stronger bias TOWARD
their local governments than toward
the Government Of the Union; unless
the force Of that principle should
be destroyed by much better ad-
ministration Of the latter"
Our national government Is IN a
condition of flux paralleling and yet
tagging far behind the revolution in
our economic and social lie.
Thoughtful Americans viii give dis
passionate consideration to the his
tory of our country and to the
problems that lie ahead as they seek
to render unto the nation the things
that are the nations. and unto the
states the things that are the states
We shall build ourselves more
stately mansions as the swift sea-
sons roll in proportion as we attend
to that ideal defined in the very
opening sentence of the Constitution
of the United States. that this Con-
stitution is ordained and established
'in order to form more perfect
Union" and we shall ultimately
realize that this Union consists in u
more perfect state of mind.
