OLD ORCHARD, Maine. Oct. "a
RD-Notwithstanding three failures
after starting q transatlantic flight,
Mrs. Frances Wilson Grayson was de-
termined today to make another at
tempt TO get to Copenhagen in the
monoplane Dawn.
The time for the next attempt de-
pends on favorable weather and the
condition of the motor which prac-
tically failed during Sundays flight
after the machine had covered more
than $50 miles Of its outward trip.
Mrs. Grayson, who is in command
Of the expedition and has as aides
Brice Goldsborough, navigator, and
Wilmer Stultz, pilot, was undauntcd
by the successive reverses and delays
which have been their fate for near
~ two months.
That no abandonment was con-
templated until weather conditions

tive was seen in the hastily tele-
graphed requests which called II.
Harold Kinkade, Wright motor ex-
pert and Ivor Sikorsky, designer Of
the Dawn.
Kinkade and sikorsky left New
York after the Copenhagen-bound
machine apparently had at last got
underway and were well on their
way TO their destination when news
OF the enforced return was received
here.
The failure Of the left side motor
remained u mystery today to Stultz,
pending the time when mechanics will
have an oportunity to take II down.
The machine had nearly reached Sa-
bic Island off the tip Of Nova Scotia
when suddenly the motor made n
terrific noise and great quantities Of
smoke poured out" ~ Stultz describ-
ed the difficulty.
The fliers feared II might blow up.
Goldsborough jumped to the gasoline
release lever and for the third time
the plane was saved by the speedy
release Of . part of its load Of fuel.
Twice before when the big ship
seemed headed for the waves in take
offs here, 1t was righted by the quick
acting release mechanism.
Freed OF $50 gallons Of gasoline,
the plane rose rapidly and fears that
had led 70 the sending Of TASTY SOS
message. the making of tentative
plans to land in the water alongside
q nearby steamship were found 10 be
premature.
The Dawn was headed back on zone
and a half engines" and the return
trip made without further incident.
The Dawn hoped off nc G:l3 and
came back ten hours later reaching
the vicinity or Sable Island off the
coast OF Nova Scotia. The aviatorH
calculated they had covered ss4 niles.

On the trip up the Valley the

Head Hunting
By Herman N. Bundersen, NJ. D.,
Commissioner

There is no need to 60 to the wilds
Of Borneo to learn the rehnements OF
head hunting. Right here in our civil
lied midst, head hunting has not only
been time honored but found to be a
necessity. Of course, the methods of
head hunting we use are somewhat
different and the objects of our head
hunting are at variance with the head
hunting natives of the jungle.
In word our head hunting is con-
fined solely to finding and annihilating
"pediculosis capitas," that is-head
lice. Both methods Of head hunting
shock the sensitive. Fortunately, the
head hunting of the savage has been
almost entirely done away with. But
as much cannot be said for our "pedic-
ulosis" head hunting
Were our school nurses to do the
head hunting they would find in the
days of the school year about $4,000
children with pediculosis. About ten
per cent Of school children suffer from
this pest
There is no excuse for pediculosis
in this age Of advanced knowledge Of
cleanliness. Pediculosis is the result
Of uncleanliness, carelessness and neg
lect. Poverty is no excuse for un-
cleanliness or any condition that ia
vors such an insanitary and disease
breeding condition as pediculosis.
Pediculosis is a home product.
Pediculi are not born spontaneously
from dirt
Pediculi should be exterminated be-
cause they are carriers of deadly dis
ease, known as typhus fever. PedicuIi
transmit disease by sucking the germs
in the blood Of an infected person and
transmitting them to other persons
whom they bite.
Pediculosis need not exist The
sin is not in having pediculi, but in
keeping them.
Regular washing of the heads of
children, using plenty of hot water and
soap, is one of the best and cheapest
preventives against pediculosis.
If the child is infested with pedicuii
and especially @nits," the eggs Of the
pedicuii, the child should be kept at
home until he is free from the verrnin.
See your family physician, or call at
the school and the school nurse win
gladly advise you.

Broadcasting the Good News

Broadcasting the Good News
I. Mountains have played a great
part in broadcasting the gospel; for on
the mountain. top the air is purer, the
hearing keener and the vision clearer
q Rising from the valley of the
Judean grave, Jesus appointed tryst
with his disciples in the mountain al
whose base he fed them, from whose
sides he taught them and from whose
tops he prayed for them.
3. This threefold gospel for body
mind and spirit he would broadcast
through his disciples to all the ends
of the earth; for his was a world
evangel.
A. The first essential for broadcast
ing the good news is to recognize the
authority of Jesus Christ which covers
the physical, mental and spiritual
realms.
5. Another is to grasp the deeper
meaning of the great command to
scatter the light Of all the world; for
this was the first command of God
and the last Of Jesus.
6. The other is to recognize the
continual presence Of Christ on earth
through the mystic and mighty power
of the Holy Spirit
2. The great need of the world is
more light; for the interests of two
men never clashed; they only seemed
so-brothers graphing in the dark.
8. The only hope of the world lies
in the broadcasting Of the glorious
gospel of the golden rule.
9. The secret Of the power Of the
gospel lies in the living dynamic at its
heart, the personality Of the Christ.
10. But this broadcasting is not
done merely by word of mouth; the
living Christ must be uplifted on the
living body to make living world.
