board. is in active charge of the
running of the test, and he has a
score Of assistants. They have
checked every operation of the
car and when the run finally is
finished they are to certify to its
correctness under the rules. The
records made to date have, of
course. already been verified by
the contest committee on the
ground. These marks include:
First. a new engine nonstop rec
ord and second a new car nom
stop record.
A continuous run of IFS hours
| So minutes and 1 second-7 days
1 So hours-is terrific strain. It
IS a test to which no private
owner ever will put his car. A
test where the failure of a tire,
a shackle bolt, valve spring, a
radiator, would put the car out
of the running. Nothing could
fail that would stop movement for
an instant, if the run were to be
successful-and nothing did fail.

With the sustained fight

know it is a real automobile.

WHAT DR.. CALDWELL
LEARNED IN AZ
YEARS PRACTICE

A physician watched the results of
constipation for Al years, and believed
that no matter how careful people are of
their health, diet and exercise, constipa-
ton will occur from time to time. OF
next Importance, then, is how to treat
1t when it comes. Dr. Caldwell always
was in favor of getting as close to nature
as possible, hence his remedy for consti-
patton, known rs DR.. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin, is mild vegetable compound.
1t can not harm the system and is not
habit forming. Syrup Pepsin is pleasant
tasting, and youngsters love it.
DIR. Caldwell did not approve of
drastic physics and purges He did not
believe they were good for anvbody's
system. In practice of 47 years he
never saw any reason for their use when
Syrup Pepsin will empty the bowels just
as promptly.
Do not let day. 90 by without
bowel movement. Do not sit and hope,
but go to the nearest druggist and get
one of the generous bottles of DR.. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin, or write "Syrup

Baby has little upsets at times. All
your care cannot prevent them. But you
can be prepared. Then you can do what

most physicians would tell you to do

lief Is just matter of moments. Yet
you have eased your child without use
Of single doubtful drug; Castoria is
vegetable. So It's safe to use as often
as an infant has any little pain you
cannot pat away. And its always
ready for the crueler pangs OF collie, or
constipation or diarrhea; effective, too,
for older children. Twenty-Five million

LANDED

PITTSBURGH, May 10 u.N.sl--
Arrival of Lieut.. 7. w. @. Settle,
pilot of the Navy NC-1 balloon,
which unofficially broke the ma
tional distance and endurance rec
ords with a 9O0.mile flight to Prince
Edward Island in the 1929 eltmina'
ton races, was awaited here today
to determine the truth of charges
that the Navy bag had landed at a
point 1875 miles from where it. re-
ported, and then took the air again.
Sponsors of the races here to-
day learned that two New Bruins
wick farmers had disputed the re.
port of the Navy crew that 1t
landed on Prince Edward Island.
Charles e. White, of Akerley's 8
Wharf, it was learned here. as
serted he saw balloon land Mon
day morning near his home. Harry
Jonah, another farmer Of the section
where the naval blimp came down,
claimed that a balloon bearing the
inscription "U. s. Navy" landed
on his farm, 1t was reported here,
and that he conversed with the
pilot who unloaded ballast and as
cended again.
Lieutenant Settle reported to race
headquarters Monday that his craft
had landed at Prince Edward
Island after a stormy voyage.
Even If the Navy entry did land
at Portage, where the farmers
claim, it has broken both endurance
and distance records, race sponsors
said here, as Portage is but 125
miles short of the reported landing
place.
