MEMBERSHIP
DRIVE OPENS
FOR {. OF {.
Increase of $50 Necessary
to Finance $7387
Budget

Solicitors of the Chamber of
Commerce were engaged today in
the annual membership campaign,
with a total of GIG memberships
needed to finance a budget of
$73S7 for the year.
The solicitors were working un-
der instructions to call only on
new prospects, on members whose
payments are in arrears and on
those who, it is felt, should in
crease the number of memberships
they are carrying. All current
memberships are automatically re-
newed by signatures secured
year ago unless the . Chamber of
Commerce office is notified to the
contrary.
1t was explained at a prelimi-
nary meeting this morning that a
number of special gifts received
last year are not in sight for this
year, that as consequence an in
crease of about $50 in the num-
Der of memberships will be neces-
sary this year, and that the board
of directors feel that all business
firms, professional men and wo-
men and operators of hotels and
boarding houses should carry at
least two memberships each. Each
membership represents a payment
of only 81 month.
Last years expenditures were
$7,3S7.0S against a budget of
S7,410.95. The largest single
item in the new budget is for ad-
vertising, and of the fund set
aside for this use at least one-half
will be spent in an effort to at
tract new industries to Henderson
county.

JAP ARMY Is ONE
OF WORLDS GREATEST
By H. O. THOMPSON

(Copyrisht, 1888, United Press)
WITH THE JAPANESE ARMY
NEAR HANKOW, Oct. 26. (UP)
Japan has won her war with Chi
ma but she still faces a great risk
in consolidating peace.
That is the unanimous conclu-
sion of neutral military observers
who, with this correspondent, were
permitted to accompany the Jap
anese army in its final drive on
Hankow.
The neutral military observers,
who have seen enough to be able
to evaluate the Japanese military
machine accurately, have reached
these conclusions:
/. The Japanese have demon
strated their ability to carry thru
one of the great battles of world
history with excellent coordina-
ton and to win against strong OBJ
stacles. 1t is estimated that more
than 100000 soldiers participated
in the Hankow drive which pre-
sented peculiar difficulties be-
cause of the succession of swamps,
rivers, mountains and lakes which
protect the Wu-han cities. Most
if not all of them were second
class troops-reservists of the old
err classes. Their behavior was de-
scribed as excellent"
2. The Japanese have shown
unexpected ability with their air
arm. Both army and navy filters,
who have borne much Of the
brunt of the Hankow attacks,
have performed well, but not bril-
liantly, by American or European
standards. Scouting, bombing, ard

Flight Taken;
 Hearing Aided

An airplane flown by Herb Nun ter came to the aid of the medical profession in Ketchikan recently and complete hearing was returned to Mrs. A. c. Kriedler The plane took the woman up 1000 feet above Ketchikan in an attempt to relieve the air pressure acting from the outside on inner parts of her ears. An inner passage had become clos ed, causing roaring within her head, and could not be opened by methods usually employed by doc tors. Accordingly, the plane trip suggested by her physician was taken as an experiment in an effort to correct the ailment without an operation.
 The experiment was satisfactory. Mrs. Kreidler said: AS I went higher in the plane, the roaring disappeared and at 5000 feet my ears just popped and the roaring was ehCHeiy gone. IhlS popping of a persons ears as the passage opens often is experienced in a mild form as one changes elevation rapidly and in doing so changes the air pressure against the ears.
 The plane continued up to TOGO feet, and on the way down Mrs. Kriedler experienced a real thrill. In dive, the plane dropped ap- 5000 feet a minute at an estimated speed of 24O miles an hour. The limited dive was part of the medical flight"
 The physician explained there is a possibility the ear passage may again close, but it may remain open.
