CUBS CONTINUE DOWNWARD TRIP New York. Sept. 8. — (U.R) —With the collapse of the Chicago Cubs, Brooklyn and Pittsburgh now appear to have an excellent chance to beat out the Chicagoans for third and fourth place respectively in the National league race.

St. Louis scored in the "th inning of the first game to give Paul Derringer a pitching victory over Bob Smith.

RUPTURE REL I E F Local Druggist Provides Special Service Men. women and children who are ruptured and wear trusses find a haven of relief in the service provided by the B. Smith Drug store. Recognizirp the fact that maximum comfort and good results from wearing a truss depend upon having the right type of truss properly fitted to the individual a special department was established with an expert truss fitter in charge and with modern equipment for handling all cases. Modern students of truss fitting have found that there is frequently a difference between the actual point of rupture and the point where it seems to He. This difference may be ever so slight but unless it is understood and proper-! ly provided for in fitting the truss' much needless suffering and dang-1 er of possible serious consequen- | ces results. The B. J. Smith Drug store is i | the exclusive representative in ; this city of the famous Akron: Sponge Rubber Pad Trusses and I in their work of truss fitting have , at their call the knowledge and skill of the Akron Company's ex-■ pert fitters. Truss wearers are not, only assured of a proper fitting but also have the benefit of continued service by dealing with the Smith Drug Store, who are an established permanent business in this city.—Adv..

The plane carries no radio equipment. The Tateya Marti was the only vessel to sight the City of Tacoma ( when it passed the cape, less than i an hour after a graceful takeoff from Sabishlro Beach. 375 miles from here. The Tateyama reported the plane was making good I time. An hour later the Shinshiru I | Maru reported fog and showers in the region of Urup island, one of the Kuriles, but it was believed I the airmen had dodged below it I and were heading for the Aleutian j islands, which .stretch westward from Alaska. The theory sained weight when Otchiishi failed to sight the plane by 9:00 a.m. The latest report was from the I steamer Hiye Maru. sailing south ! 1 of the western point of the Aleu- I j tians. where the weather was ex- j ■ cellent. A southwesterly wind was blowing at a rate of five met- | i ers an hour. The great circle route, often fog ridden and storm-bound, seemed to clear a path for the pilots. Skirting the volcanic Kuriles, their course is over the Bering Sea across the Aleutians, then southward across the Alaskan Gulf and off the British coast to Seattle. ‘‘l could use some ham an,d eggs, buckwheat cakes and plenty of syrup," Mokle said laughingly as he climbed into the plane this morning. Allen also was in good spirits as he stowed away five roast chickens and a tankard of coffee — gifts of the mayor of Sabishiro—to fortify them oh the long journey. In a moment the 525 horsepower engiro was warmed. Moyle gave a signal and the old remodeled plane sped down the sandy runway. It gained speed quickly and at 5:24 a m. soared into the air. The ascent was so rapid that it surprised the little group of villagers who a few weeks ago saw ! Thomas Ash. Jr. fail in two attempts to lift the same heavily I loaded ship from the beach. The City of Tacoma II carried 1,100 gallons of fuel, which Moyle estimated was mare than enough to take them to Seattle hi less : than 48 hours. Under favorable : conditions it was estimated they would reach their goal about noon Wednesday. Pacific standard ■ time. , Besides a $25,000 prize offered :! by the Asahi newspapers of Japan : for the first nonstop flight be- ■ tween Japan and the United States, the fliers sought a $50,000 award recently posted by the Japanese Aviation society for the

• same feat. But Moyle's success probably j would land him behind the bars !of Los Angeles county jail. He ; was sentenced several weeks ago to serve 30 days for driving while intoxicated, and was granted a .a stay to permit the flight. There was a note of tragedy in Allen's association with the venI ture. His aviation fiancee, Eileen Miller. 22. was killed in a crash last March and his friends quoted him as saying he "doesn’t care what happens to me.” Moyle also took a fatalistic view. "If 1 make it, it means j jail,” he said. "If I don’t well, ( there’s the deep blue sea.” — o "WORK- IS CRY OF LABORERS — (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) ' of speakers was Governor Murray, who called for a change in govern ! ment in 1928-32. blamed the depress-, ion on "International bankers"' while denouncing Wall street as a "great gambling den.” His address during Chicago's! celebration of the golden jubilee of I the American Federation of Labor' was a fair sample of the theme of "discontent" which ran through practically every Labor Day speech ' of note.

If the dole is j abolished, it w ill be forced by those | who retuse to do their part in feed- i ing the hungry." Senator Robert F. Wagner, at Syracuse, N. Y.: “I am weary of the pretense that shouts opposition to the dole and in actual practice ' fails to make adequate provision for jobs and would limit its efforts to stimulation of local and private doles." He urged as a minimum for the federal government "a $2.1000.000,060 construction program to employ more than 1.006.000 men.” Senator James J. Davis at Pottsville, Pa : "The solution will not be (found through wage cutting pollI cies. or reckless price slashing (methods for the sale of products of the farm, factory or mine.” William Green, president A.
