ATTRACTS 10000
Manassas in Gay Dress as
Senator Glass Crowns
Festival Queen.
BY MARSHALL BAGGETT,
Stan Correspondent of The Star.

MANASSAS. Va. October 2-In
gay, holiday dress, this center of the
dairy industry drew more than 10 1000
visitors to its own mardi gras as the
sixth Piedmont Virginia Dairy Festi-
val became a colorful reality today.
Amid q scene Of natural beauty,
Virginia's veteran member OF Con-
gress, Senator Carter Glass. officially
opened the days activities by placing
a metal crown on the brow Of Miss
Elise Miller Triplett to designate her
Regina vi as q prelude to the pa
geantry program Of the morning.
F1anked by a court of IA princesses,
the queen received her honor en- a
raised platform in the amphitheater
at Annaburg, historic showplace of
the town, before q huge semi-Circle
of spectators. Her white gown con-
traSted with russet cloaks Of the
princesses and a green background.
Previously, concert by the United
States Marine Band and the process

school children, had announced the
start Of the forenoon program.

words to balance the annual budget.
The Government of this great Ma
ton, solvent, sound in credit, is COM
ing through crisis as grave as war
without having sacrificed American
democracy or the ideals of American
life"
Turning to this foolish fear about
upon your children and mine" he
started loud demonstration by de-
claring:
This debt Is not going to be paid
by oppressive taxation on future gen.
erations. 1t is not going to be paid
Of the present generation.
1T is going to be paid out of an
increased national income and in
creased individual income produced by
increasing national prosperity"
Loud "boos" greeted the Presidents
mention Of my predecessor" and
President Hoover's administration"
In what was interpreted as a refer
ence to Col. Frank Knox, Republican
vice presidential nominee, Mr.. Roose-
welt said it was Just as Technically
and morally correct" to say the New
Deal had increased the national debt
by $1,000 900 900 as to tell the people
of Pennsylvania that none of their
bank deposits or insurance policies
were sound.
In an address at Allentown, Pa. 81,
September Knox declared no in
surance policy was secure nor bank
deposit safe under New Deal mon
etary policies.
The President emphasized the So
600 ,000. 900 increased national debt
was a net" increase.
When you are told that the United
States Treasury has $4,000. .000. .000
more OF liabilities than 1t had in 1888
you should also be told that it has $6,
0G0, ,000, 900 of increased assets TO sci
of against these liabilities" he said
This would make the net" increase
in debt $1,000, 900 900, but there was
no explanation in the speech for tn.
other billion the President added or
for his administration. Associate.
said sfterward he allowed for q bill
lion in the increased assets as perhaps
"non-recoverable"
So great was the crowd that swarm
ed toward the presidential exit after
the speech that scores of motor cycle
police had to form a V-shaped wedge
to permit the party to depart for the
station.
At the conclusion of his speech the
President was presented with a gold
medal by Patrick Pagan Of the United
Mine Workers as q token Of appre-
citation" for what he had done for
the coal miners.

BEATRICE, Nebr, October Sec
retary Wallace last night linked an
appeal for the reelection Of Senator
Norris Of Nebraska, veteran inde-
pendent Republican. with statement
that Gov. ALI M. Landon Is asking .
return to 1882 conditions"
OF Norris, whose independent can
didacy has the support Of the State
Democratic organization, although
former Representative Terry Carpenter
is the Democratic nominee, Wallace
said:
This grand old warrior has fought
and won more battles for human rights
than any man in Congress. I
came to Nebraska today first Of all to
express my profound respect for him
and my great hope that the people Of
Nebraska will return him to the United
States Senate where he can continue
his devoted service to government for
the people"
LAuds Norris Stand.
Speaking under auspices OF the
Kiwanis Club here. the New Deals
Agriculture Department chief said
Norris had stood without fiinching
against "the merciless pounding Of
swarms of lobbyists for the few big and
powerful interests" which, he said, "are
always demanding the defeat Of farm
legislation in order to continue their
freedom to exploit the farmers"
He urged Nebraska farmers to recall
"the disastrous conditions which
marked the desperate years that led
up to 1888" and added
You farmers who remember those
conditions must shudder when some
OF your 'would-be' friends ask that
these conditions be returned. I refer
to those who say that there is MOTH
ing more satisfying than a crib full
Of corn and plenty Of hogs and cattle
in the lot. as the Governor of Kansas
said last week in Des Moines.
Words Sound Well.
These people are asking for 1892
conditions! Never were corn and
hogs and cattle more plentiful than
in that year"
Wallace said Landons words sound
well in q year OF drought. especially
to some people in the East" But
farmers know such q statement is
simply the political paStime Of second
guessing" he contended.
Imagine any one making such a
statement after a series of years of
more normal weather" he said.
Imagine him In 1888 patronizingly
patting the ragged shoulder OF a
farmer and pointing to his cribs Of
20-cent corn and his feed lots of 50
hogs and cattle and asking that he
flnd his satisfaction there"
Wallace said cash income from
farm production in Nebraska rose
from $14s, 900 900 in 1882 to s225,-
000. 900 in 1898.
Fortunately the record Is written.

sound well to some people in abnormal
times Of special stress, but in terms Of
simple facts" he declared.

KNOX AGAIN RAPS
PERIL TO SAVINGS
"Dance of Death" Goes On,
He Says, AssaiIing Roose-
welt "Squandering."
Nv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PITTSBURGH. Pa, October a.
The campaign artillery OF Col. Frank
Knox, Republican vice presidential
nominee, smoked today from a new
assault on President Roosevelt, de-
hvered at close range.
Knox walked on Pittsburgh's po-
iitical stage 80 minutes before the
President spoke in the same city, only
six blocks away last night, and used
the occasion to reopen previous
charges that money policies Of the
administration endanger insurance
and savings.
The Republican quoted a speech
which the President delivered four
years ago in Pittsburgh, when cam
paigning against the Hoover admins
tration.
1T lis not easy to describe the char
acter of this spending" Knox said
rs he accused the President Of
''squandering.
In your city, just four years ago,
Gov. Roosevelt used up all the really
suitable words. about some relatively
small deficits the Republican admins
tration had at that time"
Recalls RooseveIt's Charge.
He quoted the President as calling
the Hoover administrations financing
reckless and extravagant," and asked :
If deficit of one and half bill
lions makes us catch our BREATH what
does a four and three-quarter billion
deficit make us catch?"
1t was in Pennsylvania, in an Allen
town speech on September S, that
Knox first contended that mo insur-
ance policy is secure, no savings ac-
count is safe" because of administra-
tion practices He renewed references
to insurance and savings accounts last
night, quoting insurance organizations.
After the Allentown speech Dr.
Luther A. Harr. Pennsylvania secre-
tarv of banking, said that he might
bring action against Knox under a
statute prohibiting the imputation
that a financial institution is un-
sound.
Knox Hits Back
Knox declared the statement was
distorted by partisans of the New
Deal" but asserted the bomb blew
up in their faces"
The nominee quoted resolution
by the National Fraternal Congress
declaring that the investment income
necessary for the security of insur-
ance reserves was seriously impaired
bv the Governments DOlicieS
The insurance men know" Knox
said He described both banks and
insurance companies as gorged with
Federal bonds, and added they must
keep on buying them to keep theil
abnormal market price from col
collapsing"
After reading sentences from the
Presidents earlier Pittsburgh speech
Knox told his listeners
There is more than humor in this
There is grim tragedy. The financial
dance of death goes on slowly, stead
lily, relentleSsly, the foundations OF
our financial structure are being
sapped"
Explaining that national well-beine
requires stable dollar, he charged
the administration policy has beer
to "mutilate" it.
Knox was to turn his campaign
train toward Ohio today for lunch
con address in Akron. Rochester, N
Y. was the next stop on his itinerary
with a major address planned there
tonight.

and leather-clad shoulders. Leaping
twisting and plunging like a newly
captured mustang furious to rid itself
of it's first rider, the flying boat was
carried along in the mighty conflict
ing current of the air like a chip
caught in the grip of an incredibly
swift rapid.
Gradually, in much the same man
ner as light increases in the eyes of
swimmer rising from undersea
depths, the total darkness gave way
to murky gloom, and that in turn to
weird purple twilight tinge.
How long the Curtiss had ridden the
storm, Struthers found it impossible
to estimate, but as the light increased,
he bent forward and strained his eyes
in an effort to read the instrument
board which danced dizzily before his
eyes. His sense of equilibrium was
yet hopelessly without the vaguest
idea of how his plane flew or whittier.
He was conscious of rain water still
dripping through crevices into the cab
ina drop, cold as ice, fell on his
cheek to bring him back to reality.
Only the faint outline of a horizon be-
came visible, betraying to Struthers
the fact that he was flying almost
vertically to the sea; obviously sus-
tanned only by the powerful upper
rush of the air. Automatically, he
leveled off at once for the first time
since the hurricane had overtaken him.
This done, he glanced back to see what
had befallen his passenger. She lay
apparently tightly wedged between
a row of jumbled cushions and wicker
seats, her long silk clad legs revealed
in all their perfection, ending with a
pastel shade of underwear and strip
of ivory white flesh. Evidently, in
some violent plunge of the flying boat,
she had slipped forward and tainted.
care you hurt?" he shouted, but
there was no answer.
At the sound of his voice Carnforth
looked up with dazed, bewildered pale
brown eyes. Struthers thought he
looked like puppy that has been teas
ed by small boys. For a moment the
big mechanic could not seem to real
ize that he was yet living; then with
a sickly grin he Strengthened in his
seat and leaned toward the instrument
board, staring with wide eyes at the
fuel guage.

tail of his eye watched Carnforth dup
licate his precaution. 1t was we'll
that habit prevailed, for at once the
Curtiss was hurled on over her back
raining a number of loose articles to
the ceiling of the inclosed cockpit, as
gripped by the terrific velocity of the
wind, the flying boat reeled through
the sky, her radio light instruments
on the board glowing like so many
green-eyed, hooking monsters amid
the blackness.
Right and left, up and down, side
wise, over and over in wild barrel
roll, went the flying boat, tossed like
giants shuttle-cock through the
skies. Fierce and even fiercer ragged
the hurricane, shaking the flying
boats every fiber, pulling with fearful
force on the guy wires and struts until
the whole ship quivered like viol tor
tured under the savage tempo of a
barbaric dance. Then came rain from
amid that terrifying rushing turmoil,
lashing out of the blackness with a
noise like the roll of distant massed
machine guns.
Around and around they went until
Struthers, experienced pilot as he was,
felt completely disoriented, dizzy like
fainting man. He could see nothing
hear nothing, feel only the dampness
of rain sitting through the fuselage.
The Curtiss might be plunging to-
wards the roaring seas below, might
be riding upwards to the vortex of
that great spasm of nature. He tried
accelerating, but the propellers SEEM
ed to have no grip on the atmosphere
and all he could do was to blindly obey
the subconscious promptings of his
mind. It was the sheerest, blindest,
guesswork.
Sick with dread he realized that at
any instant the leaping waters below
might reach up to flick out the three
lives in his ship. At any instant the
bowling, furious wind might rip off
his wings, might strip the canvas
bodily from the stunning fuselage.
There was, he told himself, nothing
to do but hang on and pray that the
mail had not been torn from the bag
gage compartment. Then, for the
first time, he gave his imperious and
aloof passenger a passing thought.
What had become of her? She was
secured by no safety belt. Had she
been hurt? Had she tainted? But
in the abysmal gloom that shrouded
the plane, he could of course, see moth
ing. A vast avenue of hot, binding
light shattered the darkness some lit
tie distance before the wildly plung-
ing Curtiss-so close that he could al
most hear the rustic of the dark An
gels wings. They were at that mo-
ment flying through the midst of a
lightning storm. 1t was indescribably
awesome, terrifying to the ultimate
degree. During one of the flashes
more intense than a thousand search
lights, he had an impression of earn
forth's big form crouched hopelessly
on his seat, rocking Imply from side
to side, his hands and arms shielding
his head like a man who instantly ex-
poets a crushing blow.
Binding flares lit the surrounding
clouds with fire, flashed on the shak-
ing, dripping wings, and glinted duly
on the covering mechanics helmet
