“Around the world iu eighty days” was Jules Verne’s dream of what injght be. The exact flying time of the Graf Zeppelin’s cruise around the world was twelve days and eight minutes. To mention these figures in scientific achievement is like mentioning ten billion dollars in Wall street. No need to en- i large on the figures. The Zeppelin frequently made , less than 90 miles an hour. ; At the Schneider Cup race air- [ planes were prepared to exceed [ 300 miles an hour. They could fiy from lokyo to San Francisco in one day. Who doubts that their speed will lie transferred ■to big bomoiug planes? We need air expansion, not re- 1 trenchment. ■ Jews in America and uthei countries, worried about co-re- ■ ligionists in Palestine, may find < comfort in the fact, as regards i future events, that the British I empire cannot allow Araos to de- < fy British authority. < Let Jerusalem riots get beyond i control and the Moslem world 1 become convinced of its ability < to defy,the British, or convincedjl that the British have had all the j 1 fighting they want, and there will be trouble, serious and wide- | i spread. ; The Jerusalem riots involved I not merely tb|e safety of Jews in Palestine but the safet <the - British empire wherever Mo- : hammedans are numerous. To suppress, with a strong hand, the rioting and murdering . jn Jerusalem and other parts of, Palestine, is not merely a matter * of fulfilling obligations solemnly ll assumed, but of protecting the / integrity- o fthe British empire. | The Vatican, was reported toj. be much concerned as to the saftey of church shrines in Jeru-L salem. If Arabs were allowed p to get the upper hand indefinite- j i ly. one of the first steps prompt-i 1 ed by Mohammedan enthusiasm j 1 would be the destruction of the | 1 Christian shrines and churches. r — • |J Sir Philip Snowden, who man- 1 ’ ages Great Britain’s finance?, j won his fight for a fairer distri-[ 1 bution of the German spoils. And i suddenly British Tories blazed forth in praise of the great Snow-' 1 •len. 1 1 — h ,11 is amusing to see what hap- 1 pgm when a shikTis on the othc fou’.. In Italy, France, Belgium Snowden was. represented as a | fiend incarnate, a pirate, and of coprse. a Shy lock when he asked for only part of the money due ’ him. . ' ; That must remind us of some j tilings that were said about | > Uncle Sam—“ Uncle Shylock" was 1 one name. ri- ' ' An airplane pilot, assisted by a farmer, took oft near Belling-; < han Wash., and before return- : jfog. seeded 68 acres in one hour .-aad 40 minutes. The ’ farmer scattered seeds from a sack 1 through a door in the cockpit, using about 800 pounds of alfalfa, timothy, clover and orchard grass seeds. When gigantic machinery plows, harrows and pulverises the soil in one operation, when another machine harvests, stacks tales and weighs the crop in one •operation. and airplanes do the ■.sowing. agriculture will join big business.” Henry Ford’s interesting statement that he would stop manufacturing automobiles “if booze came back, again” cause* unnecessary discussion. Mr. Ford, a sincere teetotaller, probably said that hastily. He is as sood now as ever. He established his reputation and that of his car, long before prohibition came. What Henry Ford could do, without the aid of prohibition at fifty, he could do now at six-ty-five. He wants to help prohibition. that’s all. When efficient gangsters don’t want witnesses to testify, they don’t testify. _ Somebody killed three men in Tiej York’s ‘ Hotsy Totsy” speakeasy, Two waiters and another man saw the gunman who did the killing. Commissioner Whalen. said tfe three would see nothing more. They were killed to" shut their wgtfhs.’ If . you think prosperity will continue —as it will unless foolJQjuiUß.ued to 14U»4 Page)

WILLIAM REX, 16, HUBT US OMD OWNER FIRES GUN Five Boys Shot At: One Injured Following Visit To Dewart Orchard Last Sunday William Kcx, 16, son of Mr, and Mrs. G. U Rex ,of Milford, is slowly recovering from his injuries, received Sunday evening about 1U o'clock, when he. with four other young men, were fired on by James Dewart, owner of the peach orchard a few miles south of town. Mr. Dewart was chasing the boys out of his orchard. According to young Rex’s iatin • , will •S t Weste i Rmoperator here in tit Syracuse station, tiie five young, men had been out driving Sunday evening and stopped beside the peachy orchard, which was close to the roadway, and unfenced One ofi the boys stayed in the ear because he didn’t want to ruin his best clothes, and the other four went into the orchard for fruit. Mr. Rex said that the boys told him, timt Mr. Dewart ordered them to get out, which they did hurriedly, and then, Mr. Dewart fired. William Rex was out in the roadway when he was hit,, his head, neck and shoulders fairly filled with No, 6 shot, his father said. The boys, frightened: and young Rex not wanting his “pal” -—as he calls his father to learn of the accident, rushed to the Syracuse doctor. Deciding with the Milford doctor, that it would be best, young Rex was taken to the Goshen hospital where he remained until Monady evening. He was immediately shot again,—tins time with tetanus serum, to prevent blood poisoning or lock jaw. Only one shot was removed-—one of those from his neck, it being the decision of the doctors that was best. The other four boys with young Rex were: Robert Higbey, and Chick Overlee of Milford. Everett Morehouse, from south of town, and Kenneth Pickering, a visitor from Garrett. Ind. William Rex will be remembered in Syracuse as the young man who sometimes plays in the band here, and who plays with the Milford basketball team. o NO ONE HURT AS AUTO TURNS OVER

Running off the side of the road, instead of crossing the bridge, a Willys-Knight sedan refused to hurdle a creek Tuesday morning about 10 o’clock, and lauded with its nose in the creek, and the rest of the ear, bottom side up on the opposite bank. The accident occurred on the Detour on State Road No. 2 from Goshen to Ft. Wayne, about three miles southwest of Millersburg. The car, driven by Borden Cox, of Chicago, 111., had just crossed over the Bowlinger bridge on the Elkhart river. Attempting to pass a car ahead, Mr. Cox said he got off into the soft ground on the side of the road, and the next thing he knew he was in the creek which the road ctTOSSOS just south of the bridge over tho Fl¥tMMr. Cox, a former Ohio Wgsiyan student was on his way to Columbus, 0.. He was not injured. Wednesday morning a Ford sedan turned over, when the Ford and a Chevrolet collided on the Benton road about one-half mile beyond J.es§ Rex’s place. The owners o< tho were from Webster Lake, and the Chevrolet belonged to Moss Catnerman, editor of the Ligonier paper. No one was injured. Q CHICAGO IMHWB COMES BY UH IN TWO HOLBS Bobby Nelson, aged 10,’ who had been suffering Wli-ti rheumatism, alarmed his parents last week by complaining of a pain about his heart. They, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph H. Nelson, of Highland View Gewdan, sent for Dr. McCarthy, of Chicago. TWo hours later, the doctor’s plane landed at the lake home. The parent's fears were put at rest as the boy’s heart was not the cause of his trouble, and the doc- : tor left for Chicago, where he reached his office two hours and a qualm’
