BALLOON RACE
IS UNDECIDED

DETROIT. July 3.-(Pl-The win
ner az the Gordon Bennett interna-
tional balloon race was in doubt to-
day owing to the fact that one Of the
German entries, the Munster, pilot
ed BY Ferdinand Eimermacher, had
not reported.
The other III entries made safe
landings in the Nirginias and North
Carolina.
The Blanchard. French balloon,
was given first place unofficially
among those that have landed, hav-
ing negotiated approximately 475
miles airline from the starting
point. The Blanchard landed near
Walnut Cove. M. XII, about l5 miles
farther than the distance ar parent
Iy covered by the II. s. A. entry
which landed at kenbridge. Wa.
Whether the missing Munster out
distanced these balloons was prob
lematical. IL has been unreported
since a few hours after the takeoff
here Saturday. IL was suggested
Eimermacher may have been unable
to maneuvre the balloon through the
slow winds prevalent in the lower
lakes district of Pennsylvania Sat-
urday and as a result may have been
forced to land in some remote sec
tion of the latter state. Another
suggestion was that the balloon may
have ventured too near the Atlantic
coast line and have been swept 10

Night Coughs
Quickly Relieved
Stopped in Is Minutes
With ThOxine.

Most coughing is caused by an
irritated, inf1amed throat or bron--
chial tubes which cough syrups and
patent medicines do not touch. But
a famous physicians prescription
recently discovered called Thoxine
goes direct to the cause, relieves
the inhamed membranes and stops
the cough almost instantly. One
swallow does the work, and the re-
markable thing about it Is that it
contains no dope, chloroform or
other harmful drugs. Pleasant
tasting. Safe for children. Once

Taking up the trail there the po-

but he escaped uninjured. They
tracked his footprints to fifty
houses, where he had effected or at
tempted entrance, they reported.
Climbing over the roofs of adjoin-
ing buildings, a burglar took SIS in
cash from the Taubman Store, Al
S. Illinois ST., Saturday night. He
had evidently watched employees

used a ladder to climb the building
and a jimmy to open window and
doors.

Nine. Irene PaVIoska, meZzo-

Lester Spring, baritone, of the Chi

guest artists at the annual spring
concert of the MendelsSohn Choir
Of Indianapolis Monday night at
the Murat.
The program, as a whole, well
presented, was familiar one and
therefore we'll liked.
A substitution, Mr.. Spring for
Virgilio Lazzari, who was unable to
appear, occasioned no change in
the program and Mr.. Spring was
received with much applause. His

the men of the choir sang the "Bat-

local singers in their presentation.
The final number of the first part
of the program, the Coronation
Scene" from "Voris Godounov,"
given by the chorus, was accompa-
MED by the two local pianists, Will

mer, who received the most en-
thusiastic applause of the entire
program. Their encore, the two
pianos alone, was Arenske's "Waltz," "
for which the youthful artists are

called them back twice after the
encore, and the intermission pro-

of the boys voiced their approval

many other reasons why this Earl
Carroll show is the smarteSt thing
that he has sent to this city. I
know that you are going to ask me
if this edition is better than the
one that Peggy Hopkins Joyce
'graced" some years ago. My answer
is thiS-this edition does not have

show has standard names who de-
liver entertainment that is rapid,
smart, loud, even tainted with Sug-
gestion, and beautiful scenery. In
other words, am trying to tell you
at this uncivilized hour that I am
writing my report to you, that this
show is the best revue Of the
season. I do not qualify this state
ment. Here is a smart big city at
tempt to entertain people who are
tired and those who never get tired.
There are no great nor even good
voices in this revue, but the comedy
i is there, delivered by people who
know how to deal out these parcels
of laughs that come out of the
brain box and those that originate
under the belt and then ooze out
under ones Adam apple. In other
words, this Earl Carroll attempt to
strut his annual frolic is a whale of
q show, lively up to the minute and
one of the most reliable if not the
best revue buy Of the season.
Let us get at the people who de-
liver the goods as follows. Interest
of course centers upon Moran and
Mack under the name of the Two
Black Crows. These men are show
men whether they are on records
or on stage. I have often told you

the joke a new
ending. This proves the artistry of
these men. And there is no doubt
to the statement that they sell the
show and do their duty in convinc-
ing one that the money is well
spent. They do not have so much
to do, but when they get started
they land. I started out by telling
you about Johnny Dooley. Here is a
lad from the Dooley family who has
fallen into fame. He takes more
hokum falls than any guy on the
stage. He does not grow fatter
with each fall, but he does become
funnier. He has a paste-throwing
and splitting episode in this revue
that is the limit. 1t is the sloppiest
fun on the stage 1t isn't even good.
It is nonsense of the most pasty
kind. So much so that I nearly fell
out of my seat-thus proving to
myself that Johnny Dooley is the
best high-class common clown in
the business.

his costume many times for no

the best and the funniest as we'll as
the widest thing he pulls is a
travesty upon mind reading. Mind

monkey business. He does read and
