cut out, and he landed unhurt on
the street of a Florida city. A

on the strut of his plane, and he
climbed onto the wing and pulled
her back from almost certain

These are some of the reasons
why Hugh Herndon Jr., bankers

their round-the-world flight,
climazed by the first successful
nonstop crossing by an airplane
of the dangerous Pacific.
Hes one of the few real old
timers left. And, you see, he's
still alive" said Herndon. That's
why I teamed up with him. I
guess he'll stay alive"

Before the meeting Thursday, the
Governor declared that the Stude-
baker and Dodge trucks had been
designed by the same engineers.
Previously, he had pointed out
that the Studebaker firm is a large
Indiana taxpayer and heavy en-
ployer of labor, thus deserving con-
sideration. One of the Studebaker
contentious was that its unit was
S1OO less than Dodge in price.

smiling service. They have been
carefully trained during the last
few days and the firm will make
every effort to provide satisfac-
tory service throughout the great
month-long sale, and particularly
during the peak-day selling on
Thursday.
Many out-of-town residents ex-
pect to be in attendance Anniver-
sary Day, and the additional shop
ping time Of three and half hours
will likewise be boon to people
employed by day and unable to
make their purchases until the close
OF their own regular duties. Not
few patrons have requested that the
store remain open during the eve
ming of the initial day Of the Ami
yersary Sale, so the executives de-
cided to comply with this sugges-
ton this year as matter of public

severely sprained ankle during the
day. Several hours were utilized by
the fifty or more department man
ayers Of the store in showing and
discussing the salient points of
their merchandise acquired for the
anniversary sale.
There were many "Ohs" and
"Ahs" of delight from the assembled
co-workers as the various specials
were brought to the foreground and
enthusiastically displayed. REVEAL
tons of such excellent quality at
such very low prices proved nothing
short of remarkable and the en-
ployes were strongly impressed with
the excellent values which the
present generation may never see
again. All the extensive buying
machinery of the Pettis' store was
brought into play to acquire these
treasures for the approaching sales

he played against De Witt, Of

EdmonSton, who is prominent
in local life insurance circles, is
a tall, muscular middle-aged man,
genial and energetic, with his
hair turning an iron-gray. A
native modesty makes him reluc-
tant to talk about himself.
Those who followed the game

victories Georgetown ever scored.

Edmonston hopes football will
never become a national sport,
for, he says, it is the ideal college
sport and both colleges and the
game would suffer unrepairable
harm.
He played professional foot
ball for several years, appearing
with the Maryland A. c., Cations

named, one Of the greatest grid
combinations in D. C. history, but
he doesn't see any future for the
pro game.
'It taxes q man too much,
requires him to train cOntinu-

his business" he maintains.
Football is strictly . college
