CHICAGO, July 24-E. Hamilton
Lee, senior pilot of the United
States air mail, last night celebrated
completion of 100000 miles in the
air with a radio speech paying trib-
ute to his pioneer comrades and
lamenting that the good old days
Of thrilling experiences in the air"
have passed.
1T must make an old cowman
mad to see a fellow in shiny boots
and polo pants riding a slick horse, "
Lee said. We'll, it hurts, in a way,
to see these pilots climbing up into
heated cabins or cockpits and talk
ing to somebody on the ground over
the radiophone."
Lee marked his million miles of
fight with a talk over a coast-to-
coast radio hookup as part of the

ventional.
The race sponsors have worked
out an idea to DO away with the
deadly dullness Of most air races.
They are going to give the planes
a race horse start" In the past,
planes have taken OF one at a time,
and raced more against time than
against ech other. and this isn't very
thrilling to watch.
But at Cleveland they viii all
start at once, and all races will be
real race, with the leader actually
leading as in auto races.
Furthermore, great safety pre-
cautions are TO be taken. In all
races pilots will be strongly advised
to wear parachutes, and in the non
stop race from the Pacific to Cleve-
land wearing Of parachutes will be
compulsory.
Also, the rules state that reckless
or smart aleck flying" will not be
permitted and any pilot doing such
will be disqualified

we air veterans have about had
ours Lee said in his talk Il won't
quit flying. I like it and l am happy
to celebrate the flying Of my mil
lionth mile without a serious acci-
dent. But I do feel that all these
improvements and safety measures
have taken most Of the adventure
cut Of the air mail business.
Flying is being made safe foc
everybody, which thrills. Some
don't want any thrills at all. They
want to go places in a hurry. 7 am

training or he should be dismissed
for inefficiency."

TERROR OF BAR X"

A tenderfoot at the mercy of some real cowboys is one Of the funny situations in Terror of Bar x. Bob Clusters latest starring ve- hicle for F. B. O. which is at the Coliseum tonight.
 In this instance the greenhorn IS none other chan an English Johnny with a perpetual monocle in his right eye. He is responsible for some very delightful comedy all through the picture, but in the stirring ch- max, the Englishman furnishes a smashing surprise and reveals his true identity. There is plenty of mystery and intrigue which has to be solved by the cowboy, Bob Willis played by Custer, before everything is settled satisfactorily. It IS only because of his sureness with rope and his ability to outride and out think his enemies that a happy ending is finally achieved. A TO- nance has been woven into this

Sword of Franklin Is
Discovered in Paris

Paris.-The long-drawn-out p0lemics
and discussions as to whether Benja-
min Franklin ever wore sword at
the courts of France and England
have been solved by the discovery of
the weapon in the private collection
of M. Honore Hecquest d'Orval, de-
scendant of P. ]. Cabanis.
It was presented to M. Cabanis by
Franklin shortly after the conclusion
of the treaty of peace by which Great
Britain recognized the independence Of
the United States of America.
A unique feature of the sword is
that 1t is not similar to those usual
ly regarded as "courtier's sword"
being of full military length with a
triangular blade of the finest Shelf
field notices and the deliberately CHS.
eled hilt and guard-the gift Of Louis
XVI-it might have been the sword Of
an officer.
The blade bears the inscription:
"Sword which was carried by Ben.
jamin Franklin In the battles fought
in America for the cause Of Liberty.
He gave 1t later to his friend, P. j. g.
Cabanis."
The discovery is due to M. Girodie,
curator of the museum established in
the historic chateau of Bierancourt by
the citizens of the new French repub-
lie, shortly after Franklin babe his
final farewell to the soil of France.

AS matter of fact, there's no rab-
bit in It; cheese is the principal in
gredient. Twenty or thirty years ago
Welsh "rarebit" as it is more correct
ly called, was just as popular as it is
today for serving as late evening
snack after drive On cool fall eve
ming, or in colder weather after
skating party. The main thing was to
concoct something hot and tasty as
quickly as possible, and in the days
Of chatting dishes over alcohol lamps,
the making of Welsh rarebit was
considered test of girls culinary
ability. The chatting dishes are usual
ly electric nowadays, but none the
less attractive when brought right to
the table so that the cooking is done
while the party waits and watches the
cook. The advantages of the method
described below by the bureau OF
home economics are that the rabbit"
can be prepared ahead of time except
for the egg. Then 1t can be reheated
and the egg added just before serving.
incidentally. any leftover rabbit can
be used as sandwich filing or as
sauce for rice or macaroni. In the
latter case it may need thinning

Danger lies in careless selection
Of laxativesl By taking the first
thing that.comes to mind when bad
breath, headaches, dizziness, nausea,
biliousness, gas on stomach and
bowels, lack Of appetite or energy
warns of constipation, you risk
forming the laxative habit.
Depend on doctors judgment
IN choosing your laxative. Here's
one made from the prescription of
a specialist in bowel and stomach
disorders. : Its originator tried it
in thousands of cases; found it safe
for women, children and old folks;
thoroughly effective for the most
robust man. Today, DR.. Caldwells
Syrup Pepsin, as it is called, is the
worlds most popular laxative. It
is composed Of fresh herbs and
other pure ingredients. You can
get it, in generous bottles and ready
for use, at any drugstore.

GIRL, 8 YEARS OLD,
..s.s is MUSIC PRODIGY
English Maid Has Composition
Published.

Bexhill-on-Sea, England.-Life is
becoming just one child "phenom"
after another. Novels, poems, long
stories, short stories, biographies,
fake biographies and what not from,
or alleged from, the hands and heads
of child "phenoms," ranging from
four to sixteen years, are being pub
lished every few days.
The latest child "phenom" strikes
a new note, or whole cord of
them.
Her name is Ruth Gipps. She is
eight years old, which is rather aged
compared to most of the child prodi-
gies who have broken into print, but
she was making herself heard, lit
orally and figuratively, when she was
three years old and she demonstrated
that she was true child "phenom"
when she submitted story for pub
LEGATION at seven.
Having had her career as an au-
thor checked by rejection slip, Ruth
turned to music and is having mu-
steal composition printed. 1t is lit
/ tie piece in the thoroughly modern
style called the Fairy Shoemaker, and
she suggested the design for the cover.
Her publishers have high opin-
ion of the work which they accepted
on it's merit, and 1t was awarded Sec
ond prize in the Brighton Music festi-
val. All the other competitors were
adults, and the judges were unaware
that they were giving the prize to
child.
Ruth comes of musical family.
Her mother, who is Swiss by birth,
and her mothers six brothers and
sisters are all in the musical profess
sion.
There is nothing of the prodigy"
about Ruth's temperament. When
she was introduced to her publisher
she was in bathing costume, playing
with a bucket and spade on the sands
at Eastbourne.

has proved It's merit and reliability
to do what is claimed for 1t to mil

of steadily increasing use.
AS mothers find out from using it
how children respond to the gentle
influence of California Fig Syrup by
growing stronger, sturdier and more
active daily they simply have to tell
other mothers about 1t. That's one Of
the reasons for Its overwhelming
sales Of over four million bottles n
year.

City, Okla, says: "When my son,
Neal, was three years old he began
having constipation. ! decided to
give him California Fig Syrup and In
few days he was all right and
looked fine again. This pleased me
so much that I have used Fig Syrup
ever since for all his colds or little
upset spells. 1t always stops his
trouble quick, strengthens him, makes
him eat"
Always ask for California Fig
Syrup by the full name and see that
the carton bears the word Cali
