exploits are of very little direct in- terest. Their advertising value is not in proportion to the expense and risk involved"
 Uninterested in Race
 Fokker declared that he was not particularly interested in the Lon don-Melbourne race from the point of view of an airplane manufac- turer.
 "I am quite certain" he said, that many other manufacturers share my opinion in this respect"
 Two of Fokker's machines, a 32- scatter Fokker passenger plane and Douglas machine, have been en- tered for the air marathon by the Royal Dutch Air Lines. He ex- pressed some doubt as to whether the machines entered by the Royal Dutch Air Lines actually would compete.
 Part of Regular Route
 ''The Royal Dutch Air Lines regular route covers large part of the London-Melbourne race," he continued, "and from this point ol view they may be in specially favorable position owing to the ex- perience of their personnel. But am not convinced that any of their machines actually will start.
 ''It is the mileage flown by ma chimes on regular air routes year in and year out which builds up d lasting reputation for them. The reputation of air lines Is founded on safety ,and on their economic results"

Fourth Of July to Be
Celebrated Without
Noise at Plentywood

In their wisdom the Plentywood
city dads have decided that this
year the Fourth of July shall be
celebrated in an orderly and quiet
manner without the usual noise.
These wise men have passed a
City Ordinance forbidding the sale
of fireworks by local merchants.
If we know anything about our
children at all, it is safe to say
that we will have. more noise here
ON and around the Fourth than we
ever had before.
Merchants in nearby towns will
be benefited by extra large sales
and trucks loaded to the brim with
fireworks will be camping outside
our city lini's s. Children as well
as adults will be spending more OF
fireworks this year than they other
wise would have. That is just he
way foolish restrictions of that
kind usually work out.
