SPEED BOAT TURNS
MAY DECIDE RACE
Gar Wood Says Ability to
Take Them at so Miles
Will Be Factor.
ny the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
DETROIT, August 2s-Gar Wood,
defender of the Harmsworth Trophy,
believes that ability to make the turns
while travelling 80 miles an hour, may
be the deciding factor in this years
race, the first heat of which will be
run Saturday afternoon on the De-
troit River.
Distance of the race is 80 miles, over
q 5-mile course between Belle Isle and
the Michigan mainland. Four of the
five boats entered are capable of doing
90 miles an hour, and Wood believes
that matters should be about even on
the stretches. It usually is necessary to
slow down to 80 miles an hour for the
turns at either end of the 21s mile
straightaway.
Miss Marion Barbara Carstairs, Eng
1ish challenger for Woods title as speed
boat champion of the world, convinced
the most skeptical yesterday that Wood
will have no walkaway as has been the
case on every occasion since he won
the Harmsworth Trophy in 1920. Miss
Carstairs took the wheel of the EStelle
", which failed to finish last year, and
gave a snaooth performance on run
over the championship course.
The Miss Americas VIII, TX and V
probably will be given their final trial
runs today, but the Estelle ~ and
Estelle v are not expected to appear
on the river again until called for the
opening heat.
Making turns at high speed is
knack, and driver must be alert and
know just what his boat will stand"
Wood commented. "Orlin and I (Or-
lin johnson, Woods mechanic) have
teamed 1t so often that we have set
Of signals for these races. When I
want him to shut down I bump his
knee 1 do the same thing when
want him to open the throttle"

Seeking Two Others in
Air Station Thefts.

After four months of investigation,
police last night executed series Of
raids in Southwest washington to re-
cover approximately $4,000 worth Of
Government property stolen from the
naval air station, Anacostia. They ar
rested two women for receiving stolen
property and obtained warrants for two
men believed to be connected with the
thefts.
The officers did not confine their eff
forts to land, as two households, an
chored in the Anacostia River at the
foot of South Capitol street, were
searched and were said to have revealed
large part of the stolen goods.
The raiding party, consisting Of Sergt
J. E. Fondahl and Policemen j. e. Ben
nett and M. Caussin, entered two homes
in the 1900 block of Half street south
west, recovered some property and ar
rested Della Hunt and Susie jackson

tanned at Police Court for Richard Hunt

station as none of the suspects worked
| for the Government or were ever seer
on the premises. However, they de-
clared that many more raids and ar
rests will follow in the next few weeks
in which they hope to recover more
property. Most of their information
gathered so far has been received from
persons who tipped them of" to the
whereabouts Of large portion OF thu
goods.

49 YOUTHS IN TEST
FOR EDISON PRIZE
Winner viii Get Scholarship
From Inventor-Ford Has
67th Birthday.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
WEST ORANGE, N. j., July al
Forty-nine young men from as many
parts of the United States knit their
brows today as they surveyed some so
questions Thomas A Edison had pro-
pounded them.
OF the group one will answer the
questions more accurately than the rest
and will be proclaimed the winner of
the Edison Scholarship for 1880. An
nouncement of the successful candidate
will be made tomorrow morning on the
lawn of Glenmont, the Edison home.
The boys were given until / O'clock to
complete their papers.
Optimistic on Future.
The future of opportunity in the
machine age is a rosy one in the eyes
of Henry Ford and Mr.. Edison.
This optimistic agreement was ex-
pressed in an informal interview by the
automobile magnate on his sixty
seventh birthday yesterday and by the
S3-year-old inventor in his answers TO
the annual QUESTIONABLE submitted by
newspaper men.
Other points on which the two were
In accord we're that hard work is the
paramount essential of success; that
prohibition is beneficial; that business
depression is of negligible gravity, and
that the unemployment problem has
no perfect solution.
Culture in Machine Age.
The general assertion that the ma
chine age is wrecking culture drew
strong denial from Mr.. Ford.
THE day of individual success Is not
over. There are a thousand chances
where there was one in my day" he
added
Mr.. Ford asserted that there is no
such thing as overproduction. IF
goods don't SELL" he said, its because
they are not any good or are too high
priced" For products like cotton and
wheat he said, new uses must be found.
What this country needs, Mr.. Ford
continued, is more bathtubs and water
with a kick in II"
What do you mean by kick?" re-
porter asked.
Just get dry enough, and good pure
water has plenty of kick" he replied
solennly.
Refers to Bolshevism.
When Bolshevism and the congress
eional investigation Of Communism were
mentioned, Mr.. Ford chuckled.
Gosh" he said, they were out at
our place the other day and found that
we treat the Reds so well that there Is
no chance for trouble.
IF Bolshevism ever sets into this
country, you'll find that 1t Is because
the country needs it."
