Army! Your nearest Army and
Air Force Recruiting Officer can
let you know for sure.
Remember that Army pay is
now much higher than in war
time. And so many of your liv-

Army-a single man can sock
away almost every dollar he
earns! Lots more of interest is
yours for the asking at any

MIDDLE RIVER, Nd, June 28.-
Guy Lombardo of Freeport, N. Y,
and Joe Palmer of Arlington, Va,
shared the spotlight here yesterday
in the windup of the fifth annual
power regatta Of Wilson Point
Mems Club.
Lombard. who few up from Vir-
ginia Beach early yesterday, failed
to make the much-publicized as
sault on Gar Woods world speed
mark. He blamed it off1cially on
poor visibility, but another reason
appeared to be chop set up by an
noying spectator craft.
But to give the folks on shore and
aboard numerous yachts little
show, Guy took on three 225-cubic-
inch hydroplanes for the feature Is
mile free-for all for the Glenn l..
Martin Trophy. No no ones sur
prise, he led all the way. His speed
for the Is miles was an average
5518.
Palmer won both heats OF the

Then, repeating his performance
of a week earlier at the Junior
Board regatta in Washington, he
took on five 225s in a Smile special
free-for- r-all at the close OF the
show.
Not only did Palmer win, but he
chalked I'D the fastest time OF the

day-an average speed Of 56.72s
miles.
Tommy Boy and Palmer took
some of the hardest beating that
pair has ever experienced. The
racer leaped clear Of the water,
then came down with a great splash.
But the rugged 38-year-old Wash
ington fish merchant refused to let
up. His closest rival was friend Joe
Van Blerck in Aljo v Of Freeport,
N. Y.
In contrast to last years five new
speed marks set here, only one fell
this time. 1t was made by Edmund
Thompson of Dundalk, Md, driving
his Glass C racing runabout T. M.
Special. He average 53255 miles an
hour. This bettered the world rec
ord of 52.555 made by Mrs. Mildred
Foulke of Essex, Md, last year IN
Washington.
The payof here, however, was fact
the racing Foulkes had sold Thomp-
son the automobile engine with
which Mrs. Foulke made last year S
record.
She tried, unsuccessfully, to better
her Glass D racing runabout marx
with Sagana VIII. but fell several
miles short of the mark. Edison
Hedges of Atlantic City, N. j., came
within half a mile of bettering the
Glass F service runabout mile mark
of 43.012. Hedges Red Eagle was
clocked at 42.468 m.p.h.

into an argument about the
proper way of executing a GER
tain step at the rink one night
and drove IS miles to his home
to pick up a notebook and drove
back to the arena to help prove
his point.
"But it takes patience to be
good skater" he warned. TOO
many persons are discouraged
too quickly because it isn't as
easy as the good skaters make 1t
look. 1t might take a year and
it could take five years to make
a polished skater out of a novice,
but when you get the steps down
perfectly it's just like floating on
air. It's something like flying,
and you'd be surprised at the

skaters who went into the Air
Corps during the war"
Eventually roller skating will

two, she said that she would be
agreeable to his idea if he would
grant her two wishes. BY this
time Bill was so pleased with her
that, like many another young
cowboy in a similar fix, he said
yes before he knew what was ex-
pected of him.
So the girl told him that her
name was Sue and that her first
request was for something to wear

a hustle looked something like a

ONE episode in the new Walt
Disney motion picture, MELODY
Time" is based on the frontier leg
end Of Pecos Bill. The story, as set
doaa BY Carl Garner, appears be-
loso with a series Of preliminary
rough sketches by the Disney artists.
In the nsorie, the sequence begins
with the scene on THIS Weeks
coper: The children gather around,
the campfire is lit, and Cowboy
Star Roy Rogers spins the yarn.
DEcOs BILL did not know that
l. he was not a coyote until he
was 18. When he was a baby, his
father and mother decided to take
Bill and his II brothers and sisters
west across the great plains in a
covered wagon. One day the
wagon jounced through an old
dried-up water-hole and Baby
Bill bounced out.
The unsuspecting parents did
not get around to counting the
children until supper time. When
they discovered the baby was
gone, they were greatly distressed.
They rode back along the trail,
looking frantically for him, but
Bill was gone. A couple of child
less coyotes had adopted him and
were already bringing him up as all
good little coyotes are brought up.
So Bill learned to sit on hill
and howl at the moon as mourn
fully as his stepfather, who was
the most mournful howler of the
whole region.
"Where's Your Tail?"
WHEN Bill was l8 he was out
bowling one night when he met a
cowboy who praised his mournful
notes highly but said, "Wa-a-l,
if you be a coyote, where's your
tail?"
1t was not until then that Bill
realized that. as coyote, he had
shortcomings, and made up his
mind to become a cowboy. His
l8 years of experience at bowling
were great help to him and it
was not long before he was looked
upon as the greatest cowboy in the
world.
One day Bill was riding beside
