VACATION NREADINC CLUBTO
OPEN HERE ON JUNE FIRST
Librarian Urges Children to Join
and Parents to Encourage them
to Complete Course

For the Shird year the local library
is offering to children of the grade
schools summer Reading Course. 1t
has proved quite popular with num-
ber of the children during the past
two years and it is, to be hoped even
more young people will find pleasure
as we'll as profit by taking the course
this year.
The librarian has carefully explain
ed the plan to the teachers and to the
parents at the P. T. A. meetings but
she will be glad to explain to any par
ent or child who does not understand.
For the past two years. great
number of young people have joined
but not quite fifty per cent have fin
ished the course There is always
some thing gained by finishing every
task that is begun and the librarian
will be most appreciative if parents
will cooperate in teaching their child
rem the old proverb-"If a task is once
begun, never leave it It'll it is done.
The books for each grade have been
carefully selected-with the idea of
giving pleasure and at the same time
give to the young people some things
that will be helpful in adding to
their store of information and help
full them in building character.
The books will be placed on sepe
rate shelves where there will be no
trouble to find them. The course is
open to every child in Ben Hill
County.
Lists by grades are given on page
eight 1t may be necessary to make
come changes in these lists-as it is
almost impossible to find list of
books that will meet the needs of
every child in certain grades-but the
Librarian will always be glad to help
in selecting other books.
If any children are going out of
town for ten days or two weeks,
special arrangement can be made
so they can take one or two books
with them or if they will be in cities
where they will have the privilege
of another library list of books will
be given the children so no time will
be lost.
A prominent educator said two
years ago-that ga reading habit is
two thirds or an education" and we
all know that the best time to form
our life habits, is while we are young
so encourage your children to not
only join the Reading Club but en-
courage them to complete the course.
At the close of the Summer, the
Library Board will entertain the ones
who complete the course and di-
ploma will be given to each child who
reads and reports on the twelve books.
A prize for the best kept note book
will be given in each grade.
Only twelve books or one each0
week during the three summer
months, completes the course-three
of these must be star books as indi
Gated on the list.

CAPT. LINDBERG'S PLANE
ISSTRONC But SMALL
Full Description of Esprit of ST.
Louis" Given; Has a Maximum
Speed of 1873 Miles Per Hour

New York, May 2O-"The Spirit
of St. Louis, Captain Charles A.
Lindberg's plane built especially for
his proposed New York to Paris nom
stop trip, is designed for scientific
flying.
The little monoplane with wing
spread of 46 feet and a fuselage of
% feet long, has special instrument
board upon which the former air
mail pilot depends for guidance.
With extra gasoline tanks and the
instrument board, the total cost is
about $4,000. The plane is power
ed with a Wright "whirlwind" J-2
225 horsepower, nine cylinder, radial
air cooled motor, similar to that used
by Commander Richard E. Byrd and
by Clarence Chamberlain and Lyod
Bertaud in the transatlantic Bellan-
ca monoplane columbia.
With full load the plane has a
cruising speed of approximately 1O5
miles per hour and a maximum speed
of 1913 miles per hour. 1t carried
425 gallons of gasoline and % gal
Ions of oil, estimated to be sufficient
for 4,500 mile jump.
On his $500 mile trip from San
Diego, Calf, to New York, Lind
bergh used less than ESQ gallons of
gasoline and the average consumption
is computed at about 10 gallons per
hour.
It's body is of metal and wings of
wood. "The Spirit of st. Louis,
has gross load of gasoline and oil
weighing 2,745 pounds. It's cabin
holds only one man sitting in wick
er chair, with the "stick" between his
legs and with little opportunity for
the pilot to move about. 1t carried
no radio, but is equipped with pneu-
matte raft for use in case of forced
landing at sea. The plane is equipp-
ed only with wheels and if landed on
the water could not take off again.
The cockpit is enclosed in glass
and Lindbergh flies blind, using a
periscope to see over the front of his
plane, which he did rarely on his
cross-continent hops. He is guided
by the instruments on the elaborate
board before him. In land flying he
uses magnetic compass. Other in
struments on the board include a
guage, oil pressure guage
tachometer, altimeter, turn and bank
indicator, air speed and draft indica-
tor, speed timer and clock.
Sandwiches and water compris
the only sustenance contemplated
the youthful aviator on his long hop
across the sea. He anticipated no
difficulty in keeping awake. He ex-
pected to cross the Atlantic in about
SO hours, figuring the distance at a
bout 5000 miles, or 900 miles less
than the estimated distance his gaso-
line and oil supply would carry him.
He beat the record by 2 1-2 hours
and is world hero for his achieve
ment.

Mr.. Schwab was introduced to the
leaders of the industry as their new
head by James A. Farrell. president
of the United States Steel Corpora
ton.
Mr.. Schwab asserted there had
been = heavier tonnage of orders and
specifiCa tions recently and expecta-
tions for an increased volume .gradu-
ally were being realized. He empha =
sized that this was the consensus
in the steel trade.
Mr.. Farrell pledged the support of
the United States Steel Corporation
to Mr.. Schwab as the new president
of the institute. asserting there never
mad been an era of more extensive
cooperation in the steel industry and
without infringement of any laws.
Mr.. Schwab warned that destruc-
tive competition was ill-advised and
costly.
There are eight or nine billion dol
lars invested in the steel industry and
| on the average we are not getting as
good a return as we would if our
money had been put in gilt edged
bonds" Mr.. Schwab declared. "a CO.
operative spirit is necessary in distri-
button and selling to get better
prices, and we should all live up TO
the motto of the late Judge Gary,

SUGAR UNCHANGED.
More Liberal Selling in Futures
Market-Reined Steady.

NEW YORK, October 2s P).-
There was no change in the raw sugar
market early today, with buyers and
sellers e. apart and no sales re-
ported. Holders were asking All for
either Cuban or duty-free sugars, with
buyers showing some interest at 4.65.
The inactivity in the spot market
seemed responsible for a little more
liberal selling in the raw sugar flu
lures market, and prices during the
forenoon session declined about !
point throughout the list. Houses
with Cuban connections were credited
es the sellers. while the demand came
principally from trade shorts, al
though the volume of business was
Etill light, as the trade were not in
clined to make fresh commitments,
pending developments in Cuba.
Refined sugar was steady and un-
changed at $50 for fine gra nulated,
wI:h little new business reported.
