C. OF C. HEARS TEAMWORK IN BUSINESS PLEA U. S. Chamber Members Told America May Go Too Far on Debts. By United Press WASHINGTON, May 11.—International teamwork among business men is the backbone of international trade, Charles Lonsdale, Kansas City grain man, told the United States Chamber of Commerce convention today. The speech was one of many on international subjects, all stressing the problem of retaining and developing markets for America’s rapidly expanding production. Dr. Alberto Pirelli, Milan, Italy, president of the International Chamber of Commerce, gave a warning last night that the United States can not expect to continue indefinitely to receive increasing amounts of interest and sinking fund payments from foreign countries and at the same time maintain its present tariff policy and large volume of exports. Foreign countries simply will not have the money to purchase American goods, he asserted. Declaring that “the test of a democracy is the willingness of its able and vigorous citizens to accept political responsibility,” Ernest T. Trigg, Philadelphia, urged local chambers of commerce to cooperate actively in all movements for improvement of their cities. Adequate control of the “economic thunderbolt of increasing production” w r as stressed by Lewis E. Pierson, president of the chamber, at the annual dinner last n _ht. “The Nation,” he said, "must prove that production is its servant and not its master. It must demonstrate that it has the will and skill to control the machine it has created.” HIT ‘NIGGER’ FOR PHOTO France Modifies American Pastime for Amusement Parks.

If he succeeds, an automatic camera and flashlight is set off, and the winner receives the photograph. SETS CUPID AGE LIMIT Poland Bars Youth From Movies of Emotional Scenes.

POLICE IN DARK ON KIDNAP TRY No Clews to Trace Banker’s Abduction. l\y United Press WASHINGTON. May 11.—Authorities today still worked blindly on the mystery of the frustrated abduction of E. Percival Wilson, local banker, and the reported assault on L. W. Kephart, Government scientist and explorer, in whose car Wilson I was spirited away. But their efforts here and in Montgomery County, Md., were un- i availing. Their only clew as to mo- | tive was furnished by the abductor’s | statement to Wilson that this will! “be something entirely new.” The abductor had spurned money Wilson offered him, and this led to the j conclusion that the abductor may; have been anew seeker after “thrills”, or merely a demented per-; son. Meantime, the police were still checking the assault in which Kephart reported that two men at- ] tacked him, stole his money and clothing and left him unconscious.

Wing Flapping Plane to Make Test Flight Soon
Bird-Like Machine Is Run by Foot Power; Similar Model Has Flown. By United Press ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla., May 11.— George R. White, Long Island inventor, who for six years has devoted himself to research into the problem of approximating mechanically the flight of birds, soon will attempt here to make the first successful bird-like flight in history. White, a flying instructor during the war and a former technology student, will make his tests in a machine characterized as a footpropelled, wing-flapping, motorless ornithopter. The invention resembles a huge, transparent bird w’hose skeleton of strong chrome molybdenum is revealed through its glossy coating of tough, non-inflammable celluloid. It has a wing spread of twenty-nine and one-half feet. The new machine is an improved model of the one in which White was reported last September to have flown eight-tenths of a mile. At that time, during a test at Cocoa Beach, Fla., White was towed by an automobile at a speed of twenty-two miles an hour to a flying start. Once in the air he main-
