We are finding out that after all the feat performed by Lindbergh was anything but easy. It requires more than mere nerve lo make such a trip and those who seek fame and fortune should take some other pathway. That one is too dangerous. Eddie Rickenbacker, famed as a race driver, an ace in the World war and later as a manufacturer of the car which bears his name, is now the head of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Corporation. A new company paid a million dollars for the speedway yesterday and expect to continue the races for many years to come. The eighteen million radio sets now operating broadcast to nearly a hundred million people it is claimed. While you may think that would entertain them, the statistics also show that theater, moving picture houses, horse races, prize fights, automobile races and other events continue to increase in total receipts. One wonders when the folks will get time to use the radio. A republican club at Noblesville has adopted a rcsoultion boosting Senator James Eli Watson for president and strange as it may seem they are headlining his patriotism. Jim is the man you will remember, who said that it we did declare war the only thing we could do would be "to march our boys down to the Atlantic seabord and let them make faces at the kaiser.” They are making a great fuss down U Arlington, ’nd::.i.a, because docloi and a nurse and a preacher got drunk. Well, why haven't they just as much right to do so as have congressmen, senators, judges and other professional and business men? Just because a man happens to be in a particular work shouldn’t make him the only one expected to obey the laws. John F. Snow, recognized as the leading historian of Adams county, furnished another interesting chapter in a feature published in this paper last evening. You should file it away witli those papers which you occasionally refer to to refresh your memory as to the early days of this county. From reports heard here we are sure the story which was dedicated to the Adams County Institute at request of the Historical Society of | Indiana was sincerely appreciated by | the teachers and by hundreds of others. i

Governor Jackson appoints Roy Wisehart, of Union City, to be state superintendent of schools but Charles . Miller, present incumbent who recently accepted the position as superintendent of the Indianapolis schools, refuses to resign unless he can name' the man who is to have his job. From 1 the state capitol come ugly rumors that the tight is really between school book concerns, which does not sur- • prise folks so much as does the open i manner in which they discuss what' smells grafty. Two of the greatest news services in the world, the United Press and the International News Service now ' furnish items of interest from every I corner of the world to the readers of

RECORDS FIILED WITH TRAGEDY 1927 Aviation Records Are Beinp Marred With Mishaps New York. Sept. 2. —(INS)—Tragedy is being wri’.ten into the inspiring 1927 reebrd of aviaion—a record brilliantly illuminated by the achievements of Lindbergh, Chamberlin. Byrd and other flying immortals. Fifteen flyers, including two women. have vanished in spectacular and perilous trans-oteanic flights in the last four months, a check up revealed today, and yet in the face of this sad sacrifice to the progress of aviation, other intrepid airmen are at this very moment writing new and ever-lasting pares into the record. Remarkably enough, the two women who have vanished represent two generations—Miss Mildred Doran, the pretty young Michgian school teacher, and the impulsive, 62-year-old princess Anne Lowenstein-Wertheim of England.

The sail chapters of the fly ng season are told in the following darb, albeit ominous, statistical record of the failures” since early in May: 1 May s—Two5 —Two disappeared. On this date Captain Saint-Roman and Commander Mouneyres left St. Louis, Senegal, for Pernambuco on a flight from France to Buenos. Aires. May B—Two more vanished, both famous French flyers. Captain Charles Nungesser and Captain Francois Coli left Paris for New York and were never seen again. Aug. 16. —The saddest day recorded in the aviation record. Five disappeared over the Pacific ocean. 1 Miss Mj’dred Doran, John Aug'e Ped- ' lar and Lieut. V. R. Knope left Oakland, Cal., in the plane. "Miss Doran," for Hawaii and vanished into the ocean mists. On the same day Jack Frost of New York and Gordon Scott of Santa Monica left Oakland for Hawaii and were never seen again. Aug. 18. —Two more. William P. Erwin of Chicago and Alvin H. Eichwaldt left Oakland in search of the missing Oakland-to-Hawaii fliers and they, too. vanished. Aug. 25.—Paul Redfern, young Rochester, N. Y., aviator left Brunswick. Ga., for Brazil, and today—eight days later—no trace of him has been found. Aug. 31.—Three more. On this date Princess Lowenstein-Wertheim, Capt. Leslie Hamilton and Col. F. F. Minchin hopped off from Upavon, England, and are now long overdue at Ottawa. Canada, their destination. The possibility of disaster having closed in on Princess LowensteinWertheim and her companions has served to accentuate the perils of trans-oceanic voyages over uncharter-

1 ml courses and has given impetus in some quarters to a movement to check promiscuous hop-offs from flying fields all over the globe. Although all three aboard the St. Raphael" were experienced flyers, those agitating for more careful flying contend that many flights are launched without adequate preparation and without any official government supervision end sometimes by aviators without any too much ex perlencfe. In connection with the flight of the "St. Raphael,” it is recalled that. In the fourteen successful flights which have been made across the At'antic since 1919, only five have been westward flights. Two of these were in )ighter4han-alr cjwft. the R-34 and the ZR-3. Os the other three two were over the South Atlantic. Head winds, dangerous air pockets and frequent sudden storms make westward flights across the North Atlantic especially hazardous. | The only successful flight comparable to that undertaken by Nungea-. era I' Coli and Prfnccss LowensteinWerthem and her companions was ‘ the one in 1924 from England to Labrador by two United States army round-the-world planes.
