Mountain. which forms the dividing
line between Virginia and West
Virginia.
Sheriff b. NJ. Borden, of Shenan-
doah County. today Is planning to
call on the Albemarle Grays, crack
State militia cavalry, at CharlotteS-
vile. for a detail of troopers to aid
in the search if the gang is not
rounded up soon.
Boy Led Pursuers
The posses in the mountains last
night were led by Paul Borden, II
years old. son of Sheriff Borden.
Paul, despite his youth, is looked
upon with respect by the mountain
people. He is known as a daring,
cOol-headed young fellow and Is
Obeyed by the searchers without
question.
He has been engaged in the
search for two days and two nights
without sleep and has scarcely
taken time to eat. Sheriff Borden
himself led the posse. which set
cut this morning. He expects to
take personal command of the
situation until the group Ii cap
rured.
The suitcases of the two girl fuRi.
lives are sources of great interest
to the Valley "flappers." The three
bags contain a great variety of cloth
ing, including expensive frocks and
gowns, silk lingerie and sheer silk
stockings. More than $40 worth Of
perfumes, toilet articles and cos
meticS were left behind when the
girls fled.
Are Bodied Bandits
A barber at Woodstock today re-
ported to Sheriff Borden that he
had bObbed the hair of the TWO
flapper bandits Saturday, just two
days before the holdup and flight.
He said that one of the girls
wore red patent leather slippers
and the other silver pumps. These
slippers apparently are the ones
the girls wore on their flight into
the mountains, as they were not
found in the abandoned luggage.

At places, the trail would indi-

to carry their women companions.
Where the tracks of high-heeled
slippers have been found, the heels
were turned cruelty, which shows
the women are nearly exhausted.
Rewards totaling $500, or 500 for
each member of the gang, were Of

company protecting the looted bank.
This has renewed interest in the
search and there is now a small
army of hunters in the mountainous
country along the Virginia-W West
Virginia line.
More than 4S hours have elapsed
since the quartet held up the Mount
Jackson Bank, gathered up $4,000
in loose cash and fled into the
rugged, almost untracked wilder
ness of the Shenandoah national
forest.

of their clothing except what they
wore, was found with the motor

Positive Identification of three
members of the gang has been made,
according to the Virginia authori-
ties. They are Kirby Dellinger,
Cecil Wilson and Buddy" Wilson,
The other girl, known as Helen"
was at first thought to be Helen
Cooke, daughter of Mrs. John Cooke,
of Liberty Furnace. Helen Cooke,
however, has reported to the police
at Washington, q. c., and proved
she had no connection with the gang.
1t is now thought the girl is Helen
Blackwell, formerly of Baltimore.
The trail of the fugitives was
picked up last night and a fresh
posse set out early today from
Woodstock with the expectation Of

Try to Head Them Off
The posse, discovering the quarry

the rocky valley trails in an effort
to head off the two male bandits and
their flapper companions before they
reach the shelter of the cove.
Since Monday the quartet has GOV

The Geddes Faux Pas

We are glad that England herself, unoffcially at
least undertakes to repudate the faux pas COM
mitted by Sir Auckland Geddes, former British
Ambassador to the United States, when he charged
in public speech, that the dissemination of
China is mainly due to the United States and that
back of the ant-English feeling there is the in
fluence of the public men Of America who have a
widespread desire to "twist the lions tail"
more unfortunate remark could not be imag-
ined, and, as the Westminster Gazette says editor
tally, "Nothing more blazing in the way of poiti~
cal indscretion has been perpetrated in many years.
An explanation and an apology needed at once
from Sir Auckland, and it should be the duty of
the government to find some way Of repudiatin;g
him and his caow, mschievous utterance." The
paper goes on to point out that his statement
should not be taken too seriously anyway, rs he is
"a politician of no consequence and is permanently
retired to- the shelf" 't te- az afstas;
1t seems fatal to the cause of world peace that
at each cycle when International amity is strong
est, someone with great sense Of personal impor-
lance makes "grandstand" play and raises hob
with all the amty While it is true that many
persons will not take Sir Auckland seriously, yet
there will be enough to cause feeling of resent
ment that the Chinese situation has been ascribed
to the United States.

Intrepid Airmen

Adventures of the air do not stop to count the
costs Two intrepid airmen chopped off" in France
in the cold gray dawn of a Sunday morning and
with cheerful farewell to relatives and friends,
faced the pers of nonstop Trans Atlantic flight
from Paris to New York. They had hoped to reach
the port of the American metropolis some time
Monday, May 8. No word Of the machine has
reached an anxious public at this writing. These
aviators doubtless waged dramatic battle with
the elements.
Capt Charles Nungesser and Capt. Francis Coli
are both veteran flyers. They must negotiate
1900 miles by air routes while Alcock and Brown
in their Trans Atlantic flight only made 100
miles, the distance between New Foundland and
Ireland According to weather bureau reports the
aviators encountered strong head winds of at eas:
twenty-five miles hour velocity. Not since the
white Bird" took off from France has anyone
received word relative to the participants in this
flight.
Much money and four lives have been sacrificed
in an attempt to fly between Paris and New York.
Nearly 100000 has been invested in the various
flights. Special airpanes for trans Atlantic work
are costly mechanisms, ranging in price from $780,
600 to $l25,00O. Amundsens drigible with which
he made his Polar flight represented an invest
mcnt of $4,000. 1t takes great courage and UNI
limited funds to- do pioneer work in this most in
teresting field of aviation.
Best wishes for the safety of these brave French
mem 20 from millions of hearts May they conquer
the fury of oceanic storms.

New York has followed Budapest in it's derisicn

transmitted into sound by ten pianos, bass drums,

and wind machine. As music it's value is nil, re-
viewers and critics say, and Interpretation it
is hopeless Mr. Antheil is either reaching cut for

read like prospectuses for fake mining and oil stock

The volume of advertising in the United States
shows steady and gratifying growth. Ebert
Hubbards mousetrap man. hermit who made
such excellent mousetraps that the world beat a
path to his door in the wilderness, could not exist

Newspaper advertising is increasing at the rate
OF approximately 2.8 per cent per year and maya.
zine advertising is increasing 40 per cent year.
The amount of advertising Throughout the country
at any time follows closely the general trend of
business.
Advertising in magazines reacts much more slug
gshly than does newspaper advertising, perhaps
due to the fact that the latter is flexible and
is not contracted for far in advance is maya
zine space. Newspaper advertising falls off more
sharply and rises quickly than does the VOL
ume of magazine advertising. 81 ii
Two views may be taken Of the advertising in
relation to the business cycle. One is that bust
ness men generally foreSasr~ and anticipate the
trend Of business and change their advertising ex-
pendtures accordingly, and the second is that the
advertiser determines the volume of his Advertis-
ing by the current volume of his sales without at
tempting the forecasting of the future. The latter
view is more nearly the correct one, since close
comparison of advertising with period of trade
activity shows an average lag of a few months
in the former.
Advertising has progressed from the status OF
an experiment through the period when it was
luxury, to the time when it is q necessity and
an indispensable part of the business structure.
Judicously used, it spells the difference bctWeQ
success and failure, profit and loss. 4s ssi- att
