New Park for Scotland.

Scotland's plan for a new national
park took definite shape in Glasgow re-
Gently when at a representative meeting
of Scotch naturslists, and scientific and
open-air organizations it was voted to
form a National Trust for Scotland.
The promoters are considering an area
of 10000 acres in Cairngorms, the
widest and most typically Scotch sec
ton of the Grampian Mountains. 1t has
been suggested that the park be divided
into three sections and that in one OF
them Canadian cabins be provided for
those who wish to spend vacation
there.

Daytona Beach. Fla, March 22 Ip) A seconds time today means much more than it did quarter of d century ago-at least, it does to automobile racers.
 Maj. H. O. D. Segrave of England. present holder of the worlds speed title. gained 1t here March II when his low hung Golden Arrow" roared down the sands for an average speed of 231.36246 miles an hour.
 That was much faster than the speed attained last year by Ray keech of Philadelphia. who took the title with speed of 207.552 miles an hour. Yet is segrave had clip ped only one second of Keech's rec ord his feat would have been ac. claimed. Keech. in fact, had taken only .oo of second off the former record of 2o6.956 held by Capt. Mall colm Campbell of England. And Campbell. in setting that record. had nosed out Major Segrave by .27 of a second.
 Back in 1903, when beach racing first was inaugurated here with galaxy of antiquated gasoline. cleo tric and steam driven automobiles, Alexander Winton strtled the world by sending his Bullet racer roar ing over the beach speedway at the rate Of mile in 52 1-5 seconds. That was speed in those days, but subse-

Breakfast Food Snow
 Used in Movie Storms

Omaha, Neb., March e9 R}-Don't shivver when you see snow in the movies; it's just breakfast food.
 J. F.. Stimmel, chief miller at Omaha cereal mills, has prepared and shipped seven carloads of ''snow" to Hollywood. He makes it this way:
 White corn is first made into pearled hominy. Next it is flaked and cooked, and finally baked to provide crispness.' The only dif- ference between this and corn flakes is the lack Of malt and sug- ar. Sugar discolors the flakes used for the breakfast cereal. but ''snow" must be kept white.

FAMILY STARTLED
 BY GHOST PIANO
Nocturnal Chords Played on Un- attended English Instrument

Nottingham. Eng, March 26 (UP) -Eerie chords struck from an unat- tended piano in the dead of night have nearly succeeded in convincing the skeptical Eason family of Cottes- more Road. Nottingham. that there are such things as ghosts.
 The other evening after Mrs. Ar thur Eason, who is 76 years old, and her three daughters had retired for the night they were startled to hear chords struck on the piano down stairs, and simultaneously heard sounds as if of furniture be- ing moved about.
 Describing her spooky experience Miss Alice Eason, one of the daugh- ters, told a reporter:
 we had been in bed about half an hour when we heard a chord struck on the piano. immediately followed by the whining and scratching of Tony. our little fox ter Tier who sleeps in the front room.
 Then to our alarm two more chords were struck.
 T was too scared to move. but one of my sisters went down to investigate. The room was empty, but the dog was trembling visibly"
 According to Mrs. Eason the notes heard were similar to those which used to be played by her blind brother, who died two years ago, and who was for many years organ ist at the local Wesleyan church.
 I'm not psychic, and I don't be- lieve in ghosts said Mrs. Eason. "It was certain that the sounds had been caused by some practical joker. and the next day l set out to find who had broken into our house and played the piano. I was confronted first with the fact that all the win dows and the doors were locked tight. Searching inquiry among neighbors failed to shed any light on the occurrence.
 Subsequently we have heard sounds at night as though of fur niture being moved about down. stairs, and once blind suddenly flew up with no one near it.
 No. l still don't believe in ghosts, but all the same I am beginning to wonder"

Ride Bicycle on Ice
 To Catch and Kill Fox

Stockholm. March 29 tUP)-Fox hunting on bicycle across the ice of lake is the latest wrinkle in Swedish winter sports. This hap pened recently In the province of Vermland when three boys from the small community of Lysvik saw a fox dart from the woods and set out over the frozen water of Lake Fryken.
 Hurrying for their bicycles, they started in pursuit over the smooth ice. The fox ran for his life. but the lads were speedier and about q kilometer from the shore, they caught up with him and killed him. For their alertness they were re- warded with one hundred crowns from the local forestry warden.

quent record holders had little dif- ficulty in clipping one or several seconds from the record marks.
 The old original beach record making Pirate" owned by R. E. Olds. pioneer manufacturer and driv- CT who was one of the first to en- ter racing events here 25 years ago, would present a humorous compari- son to the huge Golden Arrow" which Segrave drove to the present record.
 The Pirate" was tiny. chah- driven car. without a body and mounted on small tired bicycle wheels with the drivers seat sus- pended from the frame in the rear, unprotected from the wind.

 Chicago. March % tUP)-1f you can't save soul in 20 minutes, you can't save it,. according to con- sensus of Chicago ministers.
 Radio sermons and efficiency of modern theological training com- bined with modern demands of speed, have combined to make the limit of the most effective sermon one-third fan hour, the ministers generally were agreed.
 Rev. Howard R. Brinker, rector Of St. Bartholomew's church, said he believed no souls were saved after 2 2O-mnute talk.
 If . minister can't do his mis- sion in 20 minutes" he said. T don't believe he ever can."
 Dr. H. F. Alnon Abbott, rector of St. Chrysostom' and nationally known as speaker, differed from the ma ajority ln setting a limit, how ever, He said that a pastor should talk as long as his sermon was in- teresting. He himself breaches from c5 to 35 minutes.

SENATE BUSHES
PAY ACTION

While the House is tinkering
around uncertainty with several
proposals for amending the Weleh
salary law the Senate is speeding
toward approval of the Brookhart
bill, without giving the other pro.
posals a thought.
The Brookhart measure was re-
ported formally to the Senate late
yesterday by Senator Rrookhart,
the author, on the part of the Civil
Service Committee which has unani.
mously approved it.
The bill will be, called up for a
vote as soon as there is an oppor-
tunitv on the floor
It is likely. therefore. that the
Senate win have passed the Brook
hart bill before the House Civil Serv.
ice Committee gets around TO choos-
ing its formula for correcting the ex
listing injustices.
Hearings on the five bills which
have been introduced in the House
this session will begin next .Wednes
day, 1t will probably be couple
of weeks after that before the com.
mittee is ready to act on any of
them.
This will give the Brookhart bill
tremendous edge on the others.
That is what Brookhart is Planning
on. He and his colleagues on the
Senate Civil Service Committee want
that bill or nothing. Last year they
yielded to the House but this year
they intend to make the House do
the Welding.
