Firestones Win
At Indianapolis

The following telegram received
by George Kennedy, of Firestone
Service Stores, Inc, Fourth and
Main street, local Firestone dealer,
after the finish of the annual Me-
mortal day race at Indianapolis,
SHOWS the fine record made by
FircStoneS in the auto classic of the
year:
"Firestone tires set another world
record by winning the Indianapolis
500 mile international sweepstakes
for the fourteenth consecutive year
with Louis Meyer driving Tydol
Special at an average of 1C4.162
miles per hour, breaking the for
mer record of 104140 set by Fred
Frame last year.
Meyer also won this race in 1923
On Flrestone tires.
"Today's record performance was
accomplished without tire trouble
and every driver finishing in the
money won Oil Flrestone tires. 1t
was the most gruelling test to which
Firestone tires have ever been sub
jected at this track. You cannot
realize the punishment these tires
received. The heat was terrific and
the speed-faster than ever. The
patented construction features of
Firestole gum dipped tires make it
possible for them tc endure such
severe tests and it certainly makes
me proud that we have a tire Of
such outstanding quantity.

GOING 1T ALONE

| A REAL sporting adventure with mere
II man pitting his brain and Drawn
against the elements at their worst, is
brief description of the attempt of
/ Jimmy Mattern, United States aviator,
who is endeavoring to make the first solo
flight in record time around the world
Dispatches today advise that Mat
tern won out on the first and perhaps
tie most dangerous part of his trip
the Atlantic crossing. Believed to have
met the fate of so many other flyers in
the waters of the Atlantic, Mattern
bobbed up safe and sound in Norway,
continuing on to Moscow.
He has hard and dangerous task
ahead of him, before he can claim sue
cess.
The ability he demonstrated on the
first leg of his flight indicates that CIV
en- an even break he can take care of
himself.
His effort has aroused a new interest
in long distance flights, if inquiries over
The weekend can be taken as a critic
rion. If good wishes of his fellow
Americans could assure him success,
the balance of his flight would be a
cinch.
Going it alone, as Mattern is doing,
takes courage and plenty of it. 1t may
be tagged as a strenuous attempt for
self-glory. but he who would so tag it
would not dare to try it himself.

4 SPLENDID WORK

UnQueStionable benefits from the AM
ericanization class conducted on the east
side in connection with Central Union
high school, are reflected in reports OF
the free clinic held there yesterday.
A score of babies were examined dur.
ing the course of the clinic, practically
all of them having been in a group which
was examined last year. At that time
the condition of these youngsters was de-
plorable. All were underweight, under
nourished improperly clothed and in
need of medical attention.
Through the operation of the Ameri-
canization class and a number of unself-
ish men and women who are interested
in its work, the mothers of these young
sters were instructed in caring for them
properly They were taught the rules
of proper dieting, h nee d for
plenty of fresh air, and above all,
cleanliness and the necessity of keeping
everything connected with the baby's
care properly sterilized.
Only one of the youngsters examined
year ago, and re-eXamined yesterday,
is now below normal condition and even
this one is expected to be up to normal
shortly. The remainder are husky lot,
able to stand comparison with babies
born into better home conditions.
1t is not proposed to mention here the
names of the men and women who are
helping this meritorious work Their
best commentator is the inner satisfac-
tion that comes from a good work, we'll
done. Their finest compensation would
be investigation and visit to the Amer
icanization class by those who might be
interested but who have not yet found
time or the inclination to become ac-
quainted with the good work
Credit must also be given to local doc
tors who give freely of their services in
examining the babies, prescribing proper
diets and care, and in many cases, where
it is needed, giving medical care without
charge.
Babies, regardless of race, creed or
color, are entitled to the best break they
can possibly get in order to give them a
chance to become sound men and women.
Those cooperating with the work of the
Americanization class are giving it to
them.
Chicago is to continue the big fair next
year. The report doesn't say whether or
not Sally will continue with it.

"Iu steady it for you," offered
Mr.. Twistytail. "I'n sit on the
bottom step and I am so fat and
heavy that I will hold the ladder
from twiggling."
'That will be fine" said Uncle
Wiggily. "And when Nurse Jane
makes the apple butter you shall
have some. >
''Oh, joy!7 grunted the pig gen

Down he sat On the bottom step
Of the ladder and Uncle Wiggily,
feeling that he was quite safe, be-
gan to climb up toward the top.
From the top step ne could reach
he highest apples.
Well, everything was going along
nicely and Mr.. TwlStytau was clos
ing his eyes to take a little sleep
and Uncle Wiggily had gathered
The last apple in basket when, all
of a sudden, along came flying a
late June Bug. The June Bug was
late because some time ago he
should have flown away down south
where it is nice and warm. June
Bugs can't stand cold weather and
cold weather was coming to Wood
land soon.
Not meaning TO, the late June
Bug zimmed and zoomed right at
Mr.. Twistytail. banging him on the
nose. This awakened the pig SC
quickly that he forgot he was sit
ling on the step ladder to steady ii
for Uncle Wiggily.
Up jumped the pig. The ladder
began to jiggle and joggle. On TOP
of it Uncle Wiggily swayed to and
fro with the basket of apples.
"I'm going to fall! I'm going
10 fall" he shouted and fall he
did when the ladder toppled over
But Uncle Wiggily fell on fat Mr.
Twistytail who was like a sofa
cushion so the bunny didn't get
hurt at all, bouncing up like q
feather. And the apples fell in q
pile of leaves SO they were not
harmed and the ladder fell against
the next tree SO not step was
broken, And everything was fine
and dandy and Nurse Jane made
he apple butter.

UNCLE VTGGILy'S STEP
IADDER

High on a tree in Uncle Wiggi-
ly's orchard back of his hollow
stump bungalow, some red apples
we're hanging. They were the last
apples of the season; indeed the
last apples or any of the trees Of
Woodland All the other apples
hao either been picked or they had
fallen to the ground and had been
gathered by Uncle Wiggily,. Nurse
Jane or Mrs. Longear5.
"When are you going to pick
those last apples high on your tree,
Uncle Wiggily?" the muskrat lady
housekeeper asked the rabbit gen.
tleman one day.
"Oh. don t believe I'll bother
about them," he said. "They are
very high up"
"But you nave a step ladder in
your garage said Nurse Jane.
''On that you could easily step up
and pick the nigh apples.'' -
Eyes, I could" Uncle Wiggily
admitted. "But what would be
the good of picking those last few
apples.''
"Do you think apple butter is
good?" asked Nurse Jane.
"Oh. yes, apple butter is fine
when it's spread on carrot bread,
said the rabbit gentleman.

SYMPATHY TO CALEXICO

Neither Central Union high school, nor
: its supporters in I'll Centre have any in
clination to celebrate last nights victory
over the schools ancient rivals, the Cal
eXico high school team, popularity called
the Bulldogs.
The unfortunate death of Willis Ward
left tackle on the CaleXico team is no
more distressing to his teammates and
the citizens of his home town than it is
to the members of the team which op-
posed his, and the supporters of that
team.
The sincere sympathy Of Central I'm
ion and Ell Centre is extended to the
family, teammates, fellow students and
fellow townsmen of the unfortunate boy.
1t is one OF the distressing things about
athletics that such tragedy can happen
to those who participate in them. Yet
athletics cannot be condemned because
such things occur. Fatal injuries are
received in many branches of athletics
less strenuous than football, even in
those where there is no physical con-
tact with an opponent.
From the same sort of competition
which claims the life of one youth many
other youths learn sound fundamentals
which are decided asset to them in in
their present and future careers. The
necessity of maintaining good physical
condition, obedience to the constituted
authority given coach, and recognition
of the desirability of teamwork, are only
few of the assets which football con-
tributes to those who play it.
Even in the deep distress which the
tragedy has caused to all there is this
cheering thought = Willis Ward met
death in clean-cut athletic competition
and there is not the slightest intimation
Of unnecessary roughness attached to his
opponents. CentraPs players and all
lovers of clean sport can be thankful that
this is the unanimous verdict of all who
saw the game. None would wish it 9TH
erwise.
