withdrew from Schneider competition
several years ago, c. E. Thompson,
wealthy Cleveland business man, has
donated trophy and cash prizes. to be
contested for in free-for-all race an
nually in connection with the national
air races. it was announced today by
the National Aeronautic Association,
which will be in charge of the contests
for the trophy.
The first race for the trophy Is to be
flown at Chicago on Labor day in con-
nection with this years national air
races, and according to information re-
ceived here, both France and Italy may
be represented.
Arranging Speed Course.
The offer of the award was accepted
by the National Aeronautic Association
and the contest committee of this or
ganiZation will draw the rules under
each year. Maj. Luke Christopher,
famous test pilot and secretary of the
contest committee, Is in Chicago today
arranging for the laying out of q speed
course and drawing rules for the contest
The final design for the Thompson
Trophy Is to be selected here Wednes-
day by committee composed of Clar-
ence M. Young, Assistant Secretary of
Commerce for Aeronautics; F. Trubee
Dawson, Assistant Secretary of War
for Aeronautics; David S. ingalls,, As
sistant Secretary Of the Navy for Aero
nautics, and Orville Wright. Four

ington Hotel. and from these four the
committee will make its selection.
Sets Aside Endowment.
In addition to the trophy, which will
go to the winner, Mr.. Thompson will
present gold and silver plaques to win
ners of second and third places, and
has arranged for cash prizes, to be
donated by himself and the city in
which the races are held, each party
to put up an equal amount. He has
set aside a $1,000 endowment with

The Thompson Trophy contest is
expected to take the place of the for
mer Pulitzer races, which were the
greatest speed classics held prior to the
Schneider International Trophy races.
1t Is hoped that the Thompson contests
will become international in character.
Inasmuch as they are to be a feature
of the national air races they probably
will be confined to landplanes, as were
the Pulitzer competitions.

In way that will recognize the habits
and sentiments and moral principles Of
the people in different parts of the
country? I see no way of settling that
question satisfactorily without further
change in the Constitution.
1--WE hear on all sides that it Is i'm
possible to amend the Federal Constitu-
ton. It is difficult. but not impossible.
Four times within the last 20 years the
Constitution has been amended. 1t can
be amended again.
II look forward to the time when the
old leaders in the temperance move
ment-the churches and the schools
and the social workers-will appreciate
that they have not reached final solu-
ton of a world-old problem by the pres
ent eighteenth amendment. I look for
ward to the time when the great moral
teachers Of the country will realize that
in the battle for a great social reform
there was wisdom in the old system OF
experimenting in AZ laboratories rather
than in one"

SENATE HEARS
DOGLOvERS

Representatives of the Anti
Vivisection League appeared in
large numbers late yesterday be-
fore the Senate District Commit.
tee and protested against the vivi-
section of dogs in the District.
The protests ran along for an
hour or more and Chairman Cap
per ordered another hearing, to
be called ea1y next week, to per-
nit the ants to conclude and
the vivisectionists to offer re-
buttal.
DR.. william C. Fowler, Health
Officer, was present and will be
questioned later concerning the
extent to which vivisection is
practiced here.
Miss Mae Helm, an attorney, in
the Investment Building, made
the charge that the District
pouadmaster, under the control
of DR.. Fowler, turns over stray
dogs to medical societies and
other agencies for experimental
ton, and this was against the
law. Miss Helm asserted that
dogs taken to the pound legally
can only be sold to someone who
will give them home or de-
stroyed in a humane manner.
The anti-vivisectioniSts said
they were unable to ascertain all
the institutions, governmental or
otherwise, which experiment on
dogs, but suggested that the
Senate committee could officially
demand such information.
The House committee has held
hearings on the "dog bill" but
has indefinitely postponed action.
