BERLIN. Oct. 22.-Pet supersti- ,tions are numerous in German avia- tion circles.
 Friedrich Christiansen, com mander of the Do-X, former com mander of the hydroplane squadron, and only naval flier who was deco rated with the order Pour Le Mer- ite," is a striking example. Ernst Udet. war ace is another.

Republicans Face Dry Fight to Make Party Aggres-
 sively for Prohibition

WASHINGTON, Oct. 22.-Repub- lican dry chiefs are preparing to insist that the party's 1892 platform shall contain plank declaring against the repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment. They feel that they will have a hard fight on their hands but are abiding their time, awaiting the November Congression- al election results. They propose to demand that the party shall not straddle but that it be aggresSively for Prohibition.
 Democrats, too, are worrying over Prohibition as leading Presidential possibilities are dividing widely on the issue.
 Republicans, in spite of the dry South and the probability of a dry plank in their party's platform, are less hopeful of repeating the 1928 victory in the South than at any time since the election of President Hoover.
 The Republicans also face the problem of having divided party in the North with wet candidates in New York and New Jersey this year.

NEED NEW LAW
 FIXING TITLE TO
 BRITISH THRONE
By BATES RANEY GA, F. Staff Writer)

LONDON, Oct. 22.--A new act of succession, the first since King Will liam III, may be required to fix the status of Princess Margaret Rose of York, the new granddaugh- ter of King George
 Prior to her birth in August her sister, Princess Elizabeth, was third in line for the throne of England Now some authorities hold that Princess Elizabeth and Princes Margaret hold third place in the royal succession jointly. It is un- derstood that King George desires this position to be cleared up and some official action in the matter is expected shortly.
 The last Act of Succession was that made by King William III, reigning as king alone, after the death of Queen Mary.
 Queen Mary died childless. It was by the Act of King Williams Parliament that her sister Anne followed him. She also left no child. After her should come the most excellent Princess Sophia, and the heirs of her body being Protes- tants."
 By virtue of that Act, King George now rules England. All sov- ereigns after him must be heirs of the body of that most excellent So- phia unless a new act comes to be passed.
 Until now all has gone fairly. Prince George became King George V; there is his queen; there are his children.
 The Prince of Wales will one day be king. Count up all the kings from the Conqueror onwards; you shall find that none was a bachelor save William Rufus. None but he unless one must reckon with those two Edwards, who did not come to mans estate.
 But should the Prince of Wales

DARTMOUTH COACH
 HAS NEW HURDLE
Invention Designed to Reduce Danger Of Falls and Injuries

New York. July LP)-A new hurdle designed to reduce the dan ger of bad falls and injuries in hurdle racing was announced today by Harry Hillman, Dartmouth col lege track coach.
 The improvement Is the result of a years work and experimental tion by Earl Thompson, Naval Academy coach; Harold Barron, Georgia Tech mentor, and Hillman all star murders in their day. The design presented by this commit tee has been accepted by the Asso- citation of Track Coaches of Amer ica and also bw the International Athletic Federation which means that the hurdle undoubtedly will be used in future Olympic competi- tion.
 As explained by Hillman, the diff ference is that the hurdle now in use has the upright in the center of the case so that in falling, the top of the hurdle rises more than two inches. The new design. which places the upright one-third the dis tance from the front of the base. will reduce this rise to less than one-half inch.
 If the hurdler struck the pres ent hurdle with his knee" Hillman pointed out 'by the time his rear foot came over the height would be over two inches higher and naturally the runner would either hit the hurdle very hard or trip and fall
 Many murders have been in jured on account of this and others have been eliminated in important races. Nichols, the Stanford hurdler, undoubtedly would have made the last Olympic team but he hit one of the hurdles and it threw him while in the lead. Baskin, the southern hurdler, met the same fate. Monte Wells of Dartmouth received bad injury at the indoor New York A. c. games during the winter previous to the Olympic tryouts and could not compete for six months"

CHOCOLATE SEES
 7 BATTAL|N0 WORK
Two Boxers Express Eagerngs
 to Meet Each Other in Ring

Hartford. July 8-Bat Battalno the worlds featherweight champion who trained three days at Gus Will sons camp at Orangeburg, N. Y, for his title bout with Ignacio Fernan- deg at the Hurley Stadium next Monday night, went through his paces under the observing eye of the great colored fighter, Kid Chocolate.
 Chocolate. slated to meet Jackie Berg in one of the interesting ring events of the outdoor season, is up there keeping fit and he displayed more than passing interest in the workouts of the featherweight champion.
 The original schedule had Ba-- talino slated to defend his title against the Cuban Flash" but the match was not ccnsummated. Cho- colate claims he wanted it and the Battalino camp would not take it, while Battalino says it was the one great desire with him. but that Cho- colate refused to sign for it.
  pute none knows except the parties concerned and their managers, but | it is known that Battalino had dr. ranged to go to New York from Pittsburgh, after his bout with Vic Burrone. to sign for a defense of the title against Chocolate when he re- ceived word that Chocolate had been injured in an automobile accden, and that the scheduled meeting at Jess McMahon's offices in New York was off.
 Chocolate unbosomed himself to a boxing writer from one of the New York tabloids the other day; he had just seen Bat work out and his con- ment was inspired by his impres- sions of the featherweight champion The Cuban streak said he would like to meet Battalino this summer and then give him a return match in a couple of weeks if he wante it. The dusky one declared he is tc be married soon to a Cuban belle and would like nothing better tha7 to be able to hand her the worlds title as a wedding gift.
 He made it plain that he felt he could beat Bat easily.
 On the other hand, Battalino is confident he can defeat Chocolate if ever they come together. T have seen him fight" says the champion, and l am sure I can beat him"
 It isn't too rash a prediction that they may come together before summer runs it's course.
