BAMBINO SEEKS NEWSLUCMABK iNew York. July 1. —(U.R) — "If they keep pitching to me I'll break my home run record easy," Babe Ruth told the United Preen today. Ruth had a total of 30 home runs today and wiw 12 daya and 12 games ahead of hie 1927 schedule, the yew in which he made his record of sixty. In only one month, September. 1927, since he started hitting homers as a pitcher with the Boston Red Sox in 1915, has Ruth ever made more than 15 circuit drives in a single month. He hit 17 tn the last month of 1927 to break his 1921 record of 59 by the margin of one homer. Ruth did not hit No. 30 in 1927 until July 12 and No. 31 did not come until July 24. If Ruth continues hie present pace, he can tie • his record in his 134th game, and still have 20 games left in which to create a new record. Ruth is now ahead or tied with his schedule in every year. In 1928 he ended the month of June with 30 homers, but slumped In August, and closed the year with 54. Ruth’s 30th homer was made off Al Thomas, Chicago White Sox right-hander, in the 7th Inning yesterday with two mates on base. A comparison of Ruth's 1930 and 1927 record follows: Year Homer Date Game ST. 1927 30 July 12 79 60 1930 30 June 30 67 o Decatur Drivers Win In Motorcycle Races Wayne Peterson of this city, riding a Harley Davidson motorcycle won flint place in the motorcycle race at Winchester Sunday.

SAYS BUSINESS i DEPRESSION IS | ‘AN OLD FEVER’ President Believes ((instruction Will Aid In Present Depression — PRAISES BIG BUILDING PLAN Washington. July 1- U.R) -Prcsl-| dent lloov r believes the old con ception of business depression "as an Inevitable fever which must run its course" has given way to the realization that a “sound economic ( policy" Including the "prudent ex-1 peditlon of construction" will maintain employment, consumption of goods ami economic stability The chief executive expressed this conviction last night in speak-, Ing over the radio from ills Wnite Hous study to the annual conference of governors at Salt Lake City. He revealed, during his re-; murks, that national, state and local governments have expanded or ( contracted for. during the last six months, public works costing $1,700,000,000. Tlds amount, he said, exceeds by $200,000,000 the boom year of 1929. Millie thanking the governors for their "notable contribution" to the public construction program which! he souglit to stimulate after last fall's stock market crash, Mr. Hoover reminded them there was “every need for continued serious effort." In expounding his theory of a : new method to combat cycles of depression, Mr. Hoover said: "We have hitherto regarded great business depressions witli; their inevitable train of unemploy-' meat anil hardships as an inevitable fever which must run its course, and in former times if pub ! lie works have undertaken alleviation of unemploym- nt it lias been in the sense of semi-charity. “This time the nation has real-; ized that, as a sound economic policy, prudent expedition of construction could lie to an important; degree used as a balance wheel to, maintain s curity of employment,| to maintain consumption of goods,, to thus contribute to economic; stability and above all to relieve! hardships. "in the great depressions of 1908 and 1921 we witnessed a decrease in public works. Had matters followed their previous course, we should during the past months have undoubtedly seen a dimunition in volume of employment in public works over normal times. But on this occasion we see a larger increase." In concluding the president called for "renewed resolution for even further efforts in every state and every community, and in the federal government.” 0 $ & | SPORT SHORTS i » is Chicago, July 1. — Silverdale, a colt entered by E.

DeGreve 1 (United Press Staff Correspondent) London, July I—(UP)—■ Elevon years ago today scores of workmen (oiled f verishiy in a huge shed a 1 the East Fortune aerodrome near ; Edenhurgh. Scotland. Inside lay ti e R 34, Great Britain's ' niightie t zeppelin. While trained employes inspected its fabric, others examined engines o hei machinery and stored its pro visions. At 1:33 a tn. on July 2. the giant, cifar-shaped bag left the ground. I! was bound for America on the i first flight of a dirigible across the i Atlantic. Thus, the sensational air voyag? ' served as a forerunner of trans 1 forming one of the deadliest weapons of modern warfare into an im I portant arm of commerce and transportation. Today the world has seen many 'conquests of the air. They include ■ ,he I Indbergh trans-Atlantic flight: the San Francisco-Australia fligiit Iby Capt. Charles Kingsford-Smith; the Graft Zeppelin’s trips, and many Oilier notable ventures. I The future of the zepplin, air an-th-jrities throughout the world aeree, is assured. And Great Bri'din's officials point with pride to | her two lighter-than-air crafts, the 1 RlflO and the RlOl. I It fell to the lot of Lord Tompson Secretary of State for Air, recently I in the House of Commons to anticiI pate probalbe quaiies on why these i dirigibles should be in their sheds while tlie Graf Zeppelin was flying around the world. He pointed out the Germans had 30 years experience in building ships of this kind and paid a high compliment to tlie skipper of the Graf Zeppelin when he said: "There are few Dr. Eckeners in the world. We have not had time to produce our Dr. Eckeners." Lord Thompson, however, stressed that the two British dirigibles wi re superior to the German craft. Although he declined to elucidate, it was learned from reliable authorities that zeppelins now being built in the United States will pattern the improvements made in the British zeppelins. One of these, the United Press was told, is the "strong ring" basis of construction in preference to the shallow frames favored by the Germans. The RlOl, it was learned, also is equipped with more girders than uic uraf Zeppelin. These girders, it was learned, aie light and movable and it is claimed in British air circles that they prevent a certain amount of sagging in the fabric of the ship thus facilitating its movements. The German experts, how. ever, are inclined to look doubtfully upofi this construction, maintaining ■ it adds weight to the ciaft anil ■hould have the effect of making it i additionally cumbersone. Another theory of German conctrnctlon has a tendency to be opposed l y the British. This is the margin ratio between the diameter and length of the zepnelin. The I British are inclined to favor the squattier from a craft maintaining it lias less air resistance. It was recalled German builders questioned the advocacy of building a zeppelin that had a capacity of 5,000.000 cubic feet when the British announced plans for the 9100 and •th? RlOl. The Graf Zeppelin has a i apacity of 3,708,00 cubic feet. Now, it is learned, the British are contemplating the construction of an airship 7,500,000 cubic feet capaI city. Lord Thompson said the air ministry had spent more than sll,000,000 on the two zeppelins, the ground organization and a design staff. 0 Dream Restores Hearing Goldsboro, N.
