HUGE PLANE HERE
FOR NAVAL TESTS
Design of Wc.. Most Pow
erfuI Sea Patrol Aircraft
Kept Secret.

What is expected to prove the worlds
most powerful naval patrol plane has
been brought to this city to undergo
official tests at the hands of test pilots
and naval aeronautical engineers dur
ing the coming two or three weeks.
The new plane is huge flying boat,
carrying crew of four or five men, and
is virtually self-sustaining. In accord
ance with orders issued recently by the
Secretaries of War and Navy, details of
design and equipment Of the new ship
are being guarded as military secrets
Should the big plane be accepted for
backbone Of the Nays aerial patrol
forces and the ban of military censor
ship will be clamped down for at least
year.
The PHIL is of the same general
type as the PN-12, but en.bodies many
ref1nements and improvements.
The eleven" was flown here yester-
day from the naval aircraft factory at
Philadelphia, where it was built 1t
was flown by Lieut.. A. w. Gorton, u.
S. N, who, with Lieut.. E. W. Rounds,
chief of the test section at the Naval
Air Station. Anacostia, and others will
conduct tie gruelling test flights to
which the plane is to be subjected.
The plane is built on a huge hull
somewhat similar in design to that en-
ployed in the NC-4, the big four-mo-
tored Navy plane which was the first
heavier than-air craft to cross the At
lantic Ocean. The PHIL is powered
with two 500-horsepower air-cooled en-
gines. A powerful radio installation has
been provided, with generator driven
by a windmill operating in the slip
stream of the port propeller, so as to
insure generation of power as long as
this motor can be operated, even in the
event of a forced landing.
The PN12, which is expected to be
outclasSed in almost every respect by
the new plane, has cruising range OF
36 hours without military load, but
with full crew of two pilots, mechanic
End radio operator. With a military
load of tons and full crew the ~
has cruising range of 1879 hours,
corresponding to 1.400 miles at her
cruising speed of 83 miles per hour.
This gives the plane a margin which
would enable it to fly from the West
Coast to the Hawaiian Islands or from
the Philadelphia or Norfolk naval
bases to Panama without ship escort
The big, strong hulls of these patrol
planes are entirely seaNorthy, as was
demonstrated by the PN-9, an earlier
model of the same series, when she
drifted on the Pacific Ocean for nine
DAYS after forced landing on an at
tempted nonstop fight from the PACING
Coast to Hawaii under command OF
the late Comdr. John Rogers.

Home Made, but
Ends Bad Cough
In a Hurry

To end a stubborn cough N
quickly, it is important to soothe w
and heal the iutlamed membranes, w
get rid of the germs and also to III
aid the system inwardly to help N
throw off the trouble. Il
For these purposes, here is /
homemade medicine, far better than |
anything you could buy at times
the cost. From any druggist, get 21a
ounces of Pinex. Put this into a |
pint bottle, and add plain granu-
lated sugar syrup or strained honey |
to fill up the pint. This takes but
moment, and makes a remedy so
effective that you will never do
without, once you have used it. |
Keeps perfectly, and children like it. |
This simple remedy does three |
necessary things. 1t loosens the |
germ-laden phlegm and soothes |
away the Inflammation. At the same |
time it is absorbed into the blood, |
where it acts directly on the bron- |
chial tubes. This explains why it |
brings such quick relief, even in l
bronchial coughs and FLU" coughs. Il
Pinex is highly concentrated H
compound of genuine Norway Pine, II
containing the active agent of creo- III
sote, in a refined, palatable form, III
and known as one of the great III
est healing agents for severe III
coughs, chest colds and bron- XVI
chial troubles. ~
Do not accept a substitute RsssS,
for Pinex. 1t is guaranteed .<SssS~
to give prompt relief or &s-SHXss
money refunded.

issuance of the orders are that the

the families would cause cessation of

sent back to relatives here.

SONG "HITS" FEW

Nearly $15,000000 is spent annual
~ in the United States for popular
songs. Most of this money comes
straight from the pocketbook of the
American woman.
Women buy five times as many
songs as men, this survey shows.
Two thousand popular songs are
published and less than 10 per cent
of these make any money worth men
tioning About rs per cent are total
losses, and the real hits" assay about
One-half of l per cent.
The total amount Of money spent
annually for songs is ten times as
much as it was 20 years ago. The
West and Middle West are the big
gest markets. And more popular
songs are sold per capita in the city
than in the country.
Waltz songs are far more popular
than any other rhythm. The out
standing hit of every period in re-
cent song history has been a waltz

Statement From
Governor Byrd

Richmond, Va, June EN- de-
feating the $50,0OO,O0O bond issue
for roads Virginia adopted a wise
course. The passage of this bond
issue would have been merely an
entering wedge for further bond
issues in the future. Except for this
wise action of the people of Vir-
ginia the state would now be bur-
dened with great bonded indebt-
edness as many other states are.
Virginia will be one of the first
states of the Union to build a great
highway system without the issu-
ance of bonds. Our roads are being
financed largely by the gasoline tax
the failest tax ever devised.
1t is now for the people of Vir-
ginia to make permanent this policy
and prevent future bond issues un-
less approved by the people them
selves by popular vote.
Under the present constitution the
state can still issue bonds in unlim-
tied amounts for roads without sub
hitting the question to popular
vote. The members of the General
Assembly due to the courtesy ex-
listing with respect to the passage
of local bills, can bond counties or
districts in unlimited amounts
without the approval of either the
boards of supervisors or the people
themselves.
The new constitution provides
that no bonds, either state, dis
trict or county, can be issued un-
less the people affected vote in ia
vor thereof at popular election.
If you believe in the fundamen-
tai principle that no bonds shall be
placed upon your property without
your consent, l urge you to go to
the polls on Tuesday, June 10, and
vote for proposal No. /, which not
only prohibits the issuance of bonds
unless approved by you, but abol-
ishes useless offices, reorganizes the
state school system and includes
other meritorious amendments ne
cessary to the efficiency of the gov
eminent and the progress of the
state.

THE FATE OF THE DRAGON
Frank Monroe Beverly

They told me of the dragon,
That stole mems souls away,
But / was then a youngling,
That knew not how to pray
No doubt about his, being,
The Bible held it true,
The souls of men was seeking
And the souls of me and you.
A prayer sincere and earnest
1t took. to save the soul
From punishment eternal,
AS ceaseless aeons roll.
One night / fell to dreaming,
And this the dream / had;
The devil came to tempt me,
With tout ensemble bad.
| knew that he'd entice me,
But ne'er would / consent;
The dragon thought to win me,
And that was what it meant.
| jammed him 'gainst a legend,
And pounded with a stone,
And soon | had a pulp-mass
Of devil, flesh and bone.
Since then there's been no
dragon
To steal mems souls, ] VOW
That year was sixty-seven-
There is no devil now.

EpWorth League
Contest Ends

Last Sunday night ended the
membership drive of the Epworth
League of this place, with all hon
ors going to the "Blue" side.
At the beginning of the drive
the League divided itself into two
sections, the Red and the Blue. The
side that secured the MOST mem
bers was to be Entertained by the
other one week after the close of
the contest. At the end teh score
stood 35 to 18, in favor of the
Blues.
We believe that the drive has
been a complete success, for by the
work done by some of its mem
bers to secure the new ones leaves
us thinking that there are still
some church workers in Clintwood.

The Fabulous Toad.
81 German Parties.

Pictures And Voice.
By ARTHUR BRISBANE

A horned toad, known to news
paper readers as Rip Van Wrinkle,
is supposed to have lived more
than thirty years in corner stone
without air, food or water.
The toad has been seen by many,
including the President. Some be-
lieve the yarn. The President has
not committed himself. When the
toad was placed on the Presidents
desk neither said word
Now the toad's owner heightens
interest saying that in his dark,
airless cornerstone the toad sat
next to Bible, and that noble
book enabled him to hold oct. Many
will believe that. 1t is credulous
human race.
