‘On to Spokane!’ To Be Cry When Planes Cross Nation in First National Air Derby

BY RODNEY DUTCHER NEA Service Writer WASHINGTON, July 30.—Fifty years from now, it may be an ordinary thing to see flying grandstands each carrying a few thousand spectators, go skidding along at a couple of hundred miles an hour in the wake of the annual non-stop round the world air race. The Kentucky Derby will then be a snail’s pace curiosity for the children, and the 500-mile auto classic at Indianapolis will be a curiosity kept going out of sentiment for the old folks who stick to primitive enjoyments in keeping with the dull pleasures their senility and hardened arteries will be able to stand. Today, however, the first national coast-to-coast air derby is attracting attention as something new in sporting events. Late In September, when transoceanic flights have lost some of their novelty, the cry of the nation’s airmen will be:

DESERTMILLS FOR HOLIDAY British Town Factories Are Forsaken by Employes. Bu United Press MANCHESTER, Eng., July 30. This great English Industrial town with its population of nearly 800,000 presented a curiously empty appearance to the American visitors who chanced to be here today. Almost anyone could have told them the reason—that today the great annual trek of millhands and factory workers to the popular seaside places has begun, and that for ten more days Manchester and all the other great North Country Industrial towns will continue to be deserted, until the workers return happy and “broke.” This annual trek, or as it is known in England the “Wakes,” is looked forward to throughout the year, and in practically every town and village clubs are formed to which every member of the family from the head of the house down to the youngest working child, contributes as muc'i as he or she can each week, the amount to be spent in one great event during the next ten days. seaside place most favored by the holiday-making hands is Blackpool, for it here that they find the best outlet for their pent-up spirits and, incidentally, their money.
