 New York, Nov. 30.-(UP)--If you should arrive in New York this week and find many of its better citizens looping the loop off tall buildings, wagging' their ears, wearing anvils for watch charms and juggling dynamite sticks, do not be alarmed, for daffiness goofi- ness week is here again.
 Daffiness goodness week, in case you don't know it, is just another way of saying that the six-day bicycle peddlers are at 1t again in Madison Square Gardens mon- strous wooden mayonnaise bowl. Daffiness goodness week started promptly at 9 o'clock last night and will be with us until Saturday night at II o'clock when the boys next time.
 They're All Back
 For this years daffiness goofi- ness race Mister John Chapman. the man who put the in bike racing, has assembled a fine collec- ton of peddlers, including ali the old favorites and hal ia dozen or more new faces, or rather, new old favorites and half a dozen or vorites is Reggie McNamara, whose only bad spill last year came when his beard got tangled up in the spokes of his machine. Reggie is known to be older than Santa Claus and is credited with having given George Washington his first two or three lessons on how to pump on an upgrade.
 Six-day bicycle racing may be dizzy fun, but it's clean fun. There never has been any scandal attach ed to daffiness goodness week un- less you count the rumors about Franco Giorgetti and Gerald Debaets who, by the way, were spinning away merrily when l stepped out for an aspirin last night.
 So Good?
 have heard 1t said that Franco and his waggish Belgian sidekick are so much better than the com petition that they are forced to take 1t easy lest they sew the race up by Monday night, this. of course, would never do. for com petition is the life of daffiness goodness week, just as 1t is of trade. Personally, wouldn't know about this. was a fair cycler in my day, and at one time could ride from Martins livery satble on the corner of Main and Pine to old man Busbys grocery store three blocks down the street without touching the handlebars. But that was some 50 or 60 years ago and to-day by knowl- edge of the art of cycling is so slight, that for the life of me I couldn't tell whether Franco and Gerald were giving their all, or just leaning over the handlebars winking at the doll babies in the gallery.
 No So Easy
 Six-day biking. in addition to being a most dizzy and gruelling sport, is downright dangerous. Spills are hourly occurrences and by spills I mean those things that happen when six or seven or more riders streak around turn to- gether, run together, and go down together. What happens after that depends on how man falls. what he falls on, and how tough he is. Last year some big-hearted soul offered a penny for each splinter collected off the floor by the riders. It cost the big hearted one cool million dollars to fulfill his promise. And Q million splinters. no matter where you get 'em Is Q lot of splinters.

tereSt about Imperial Valley last
night after Claiborne Poole, deputy

GERS several large turkeys had been
stolen from the ranch of Leslie Nc
Council four miles east and two
miles north of Ell Centric.
J. Woodward, who nves on the Nc
Connell ranch, returned last night
to interrupt two men in the act of
absconding in a truck with the
greater part of the Mcconnell tur-
key flock.
Because of the interruption, the
two men leaped into their truck
and made away, Woodward fol-
lowing them for about four miles.
He then telephoned the sheriff'S
office.
Poole relayed the report to officers
IN every valley town. Some time
later H. II. Fam of Van Mugs, driv-
ing through Westmcrland with q
load Of 30 turkeys, was stopped, but
proved his innocence with a bill oi
sale for the turkeys he was truck
ing. He was stopped again in I'M

sale.

missing from the Mcconnell flock

BORDER EDITOR
UP IN THE AIR
WITH NEW PAPER

Randall Henderson, publisher of
the Calexico Chronicle, and ordin-
arily a newspaperman who can
keep both feet on the ground, is
up in the air, and another novelty
in the newspaper line has arrived
at the Press office to match the
old Leadville News, which was des-
cribed in an article yesterday.
The new arrival is entitled
Speed, with the accompanying no.
tation that it is "the fastest NOV
Ing newspaper in the world.
Our copy is Vol l, No. 3, dated
at Ell Paso, Texas, August "a.
It's a newsy little sheet but we
predict an early crash for it, for it
has no advertising and a newspaper
without ads just "aint no news
paper
Henderson is issuing the paper
as he accompanies the air derby
eastward. 1t is printed on a mime
ograph machine carried aboard
the plane and judging from the ed
itor's comments, he is having more
than the usual troubles to which
editors are heir.
He complains his reporters are
having difficulty keeping their
portables balanced when the air is
bumpy and asserts it takes a species
of Houdini to get anything done.
But he doesn't have to listen to
the complaints of "Old Subscriber,
"Vox Populi" and all the other
good old standbys.
Apparently Henderson is like the
sailors who go rowing in the park
lake on their vacations. The idea
of newspaperman mixing up with
the news business while on his va
cation is ridiculous, but just try to
keep one of the craft from sticking
his nose in newspaper office every
chance he gets. We're funny that
way.
Well compliment Randall for his
good job on Speed. He has it
pretty nice at that though, and
Jess Worley probably thinks so by
this time. Jess is still on the ground

boss goes gallivanting with lot Of
wild flyers.
