Quick Work Saves

Making Experiment

ATLANTA, July 6.@P-Four
Atlanta filters tonight owed their
lives to one Of their number who
was quick with his knife when a
dangling rope from a plane in
flight became entangled in the
propeller Of a ship flying below it.
Taking the air today to conduct
an experiment in repairing the
landing gear Of aircraft in flight,
Beeler Blevins and Bonnie Rowe
Unanswered for position below a
second plane flown by Mackay
Solenberger and w. G. Stiplin.
Rowe climbed out on the lower
wing Of the under ship and re-
moved a wheel, while Triplin, in
the ship above, began lowering
away another wheel from the end
of the rope.
Just as Rowe reached out to
grasp the dangling wheel, the force
Of the wind whipped the rope into
the propeller Of the lower shij.
Both blades were torn off, and the
rope. caught in the propeller shaft

er in May, 1927, two months before
Andrews retirement in favor of
Seymour Lowman Of New York
state.
Shortly before quitting General
Andrews expressed his opinion be-
fore q congressional committee that
he had stopped less than 5 per cent
of the liquor smuggling into the
country. that nearly 1,750.000 stills
were in operation in the United
States and that 100000 persons
were engaged in various forms of
bootlegging.
Lowman's difficulty was his gar
rulity.
At one time an order was issued
forbidding him to talk for publica-
ton, but it failed to keep him quiet
for long.
He made embarrassing charges
of graft in the dry service.
A statement from him that the
treasury is required by law to grant
the freedom Of American ports to
certain tourists arriving from abroad
when no such law eXists-greatly
fretted his Superiors. .
Matters were made wors by his
perhaps undiplomatic defense of re-
cent prohibition killings by coast
and border guardsmen.
The last straw seems to have
been the plans for a dry education
al campaign in the public schools,
found simmering in the prohibition
bureau-with whomSoever they may
have originated.
Prohibitions best friends In
washington do not dispute that
America has yet to find its first
efficient dry law enforcement adj
ministrator.
That President Hoover wants to
get to the bottom of the system
itself, with a view to putting it on
an effective working basis, is the
generally accepted theory in the
capital.
He will not do it without vigorous
opposition in congress, however
and by no means all of it will come
from wet sources.

BOUGHT MEDICINE
WHEN She COULD
HARDLY WALK
MRS. ELLA LEDBETTER


"If any one had told me a few
weeks ago that would be feeling as
we'll today as do, wouldn't have
believed them, as I honestly felt as
though I was about done for and
had reasons to feel that way, as I
had been in terrible health for over
q year and of late was hardly able
to eat thing, even a piece of toast
caused great stomach pains. My
nephew said to me one day. Why
don't you try Miller's Herb Extract?'
(Formerly called Herb Juice.) He
spoke so highly of it that I said,
We'll. will give it trial. and the
day bought my first three bottles
was hardly able to walk out of the
store. I would have attacks of dig
illness, get deathly sick and my head
hurt so I could hardly stand the
pain. AS said before, my stomach
was in a terrible condition; food
would not digest: stomach was
swollen from the gas that formed,
and so sore that could not touch
it. I was continually taking laXa-
tives, in fact, had used them since
was operated on. OF late even
strong physics failed to act as they
should and I suffered terribly from
constipation, ached all over and felt
as though my entire system was
full of poison. To my surprise the
first few doses of Herb Extract had
mild action on the bowels and in
just a few days they were moving
regularly. From then on I began
to improve, seemed as though every
bit of the poison was carried away,
my stomach no longer bloated from
gas, dizzy spells passed away and to
my great relief can now eat food
1 dared not touch before used this
medicine. I know that my health
is better in every way now than it
has been for years and words cannot
describe the praise I have for
Miller's Herb Extract. I do not
know of a medicine that will equal
it and cannot praise it too highly"

ment, resides at 1887 Childress ST.
