ROHLFS SOARS 34, 610 FEET; NEW RECORD
Beats Mark of Frenchman Over 1,000 Feet Fortythree Degrees Below Zero. MIJJEOLA. N. Y., Sept. 19. A new worliSl'a altitude record is believed to have been made here today when Roland Rohlfs, test pilot for the Curtla Aeroplane company, eoared 34,610 feet above sea level, according to the official barograph, in seventy-eight minutes. As Roosevelt Field, his starting point, is 110 feet above sea level, Rohlfs actually climbed 34,600, according to his barograph. His altimeter registered 34,400 feet. These figures will have to be certified by the government Bureau of Standards at Washington before they are registered by the Aero Club of America as official. The lower figure, that of Rohlfs' altimeter, Is considerably higher than the previous record claimed by the French aviator, Adjt.
Casale, who rose 33,136 feet at Paris in 'June. Casale's figures have not been
officially registered.
The first person to reach Rohlfs "when he landed, within twenty feet rof his starting point, was his wife. He
leaned from his car and kissed her,
exclaiming:
"I think I've done it this time all
right." Machine Turns on Ear.
"I reached the greatest altitude after climbing 78 minutes," he said, "and
(maintained that altitude about 20 min
lutes. I made the first 10,000 feet in (eight minutes. At a height of about 81,000 feet my machine dropped about 600 feet. The machine turned over
on its ear and kept going from side to elde with an oscillating movement. It
pwas terrible. After working with the toechanism for some time I finally put
on high speed and found that the ma
chine righted itself and began to tcllmb again. I started to use the oxygen tanks about 20,000 feet up. If
Ithe oxygen had failed for a second I
rwould have been done for. At my
greatest height the temperature was
143 degrees below zero."

Jap Has Perfect Foot;
American's All Wrong
NEW YORK, Sept. 19. Is your big
toe straight?
Famous women physicians from all
parts of the world, in conference here
asked each other this question.
What they found has decided them
on a world-wide campaign against
tight shoes. The doctors have crooked toes.
Especially the French members of the conference. Their high heels and
smart little slippers are ultra chic
But when the doctors all took off their shoes and stockings, put their feet in
hot water, and then stepped on blot
ting paper, some of the impressions
looked like blots of mud on a garden
wall. They have extraordinarily neat
arches, however.
The English doctors have fairly
straight toes. But some of them have
flat feet, due to flat soled shoes.
The American record was very mix
ed. Some had flat feet, some had crooked toes. But all of them had
something wrong.
The only perfect foot found among
the sixty specialists was the tiny spec
Jmen presented by Dr. Tomo Inouye,
Japan.
Even Unemployed Strike In Denmark; Demand Less
Time for Getting Money
(By Associated Press)
COPENHAGEN, Sept. 19. A novel
Btlke of the unemployed In Bremen is
reported by the Politiken's correspond
ent in that German city. According
to his account the unemployed objected to the requirement of report
ing to the city authorities twice
day which was demanded of them as
a condition for receiving the govern'
ment allowances for unemployment.
The "strikers" held a mass meeting
called upon the labor unions to declare
a sympathetic strike and held a par
ade and demonstration in the street
This brought them into conflict with
the police, who dispersed them and
evidently ended the strike.

Joseph Bennett, pastor of the Methodist church, committed suicide here some time Thursday between 11 o'clock in the morning and 6 o'clock In the evening In the basement of the Methodist church, by drinking a quantity of carbolic acid. Despondency brought on by poor health is the only reason members of the family can assign for his taking his life. He left his home about 11 o'clock in the forenoon, did not return for dinner, and his continued absence late in the afternoon prompted his father
to institute a search for him, which resulted in his finding the dead body of his son in the basement of the
church.
Young Bennett had just returned home from a visit a few days ago. He was not engaged in any business and had been attending school the last
few years.
Beside his dead body was found a
! pint bottle of carbolic acid, from which
he had drank a liberal quantity. His face and one hand were badly burned by the fiery fluid. He left no note or anything to Indicate his motive for ending his life.

Weak, thin people men or -women-are nearly always nervous wrecks
thus conclusively proving that thinness, weakness, debility and neurasthe
nia are almost Invariably due to nerve i starvation. Feed your nerves and all these symptoms due to nerve starva-1
tlon will disappear. Eminent specialists state that one of the best things for the nerves is an organic phosphate known among druggists as Bitro-Phosphate, a five-grain
tablet of which should be taken with
each meal. Being a genuine nerve i
builder and not a stimulant or habitforming drug, Bitro-Phosphate can be safely taken by the weakest and most delicate sufferer, and the results following its use are often simply astonishing. By strengthening the nerves, weak, tired people regain energy and vigor; thinness and angularity give way to plumpness and curves; sleep returns to the sleepless; confidence and cheerfulness replace debility atwl gloom; dull eyes become bright, ana pale, sunken cheeks regain the pink glow of health. CAUTION Bitro-Phosphate. the use of which is inexpensive, also wonderfully promotes the assimilation of food.
so much so, that many people report j
marked gains or weight In a few weeks. Those taking it who do not desire to put on flesh, should use extra care in avoiding fat-producing foods. Adv.

Clothes Talk Faster Than Words
Business is good. You hear it on every side. Prices are high but wages are higher. Most every man is better off today than yesterday and looks it. Take yourself aren't you dressing better of late? Aren't you spending more for your clothes? And you never owned any so comfortable, so well tailored, so style retaining, did you? Clothing is being made better every day. But even if the clothing makers hadn't improved their product, higher prices would be in order. As one manufacturer tersely puts it: "Shorter hours less output. Less output increased overhead. The fewer the fabrics and garments produced the higher the cost." There you have
it ! With wage scales up and production down there's nothing for it but higher prices.
Still nobody seems to care. The best clothes are the best sellers. Men are dressing better because they can afford it. Clothes, like pictures, talk faster than words and most every man wants his clothes to say something to his credit. Your figure is what counts when it comes to clothes, not the figure on the price tag. Now is a good time to complete your fall wardrobe to buy in fact that "frosty morning" suit you've already bought in your mind. . New models, seasonable fabrics have recently arrived on the scene. Brush up on clothes.
See the latest they're probably on display in today's PALLADIUM.
