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.

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.
