MEN WHO CRUISE THE ETHER
While some of the most glorious sagas ot neroics
have hedged about the sea, the advance of modern science
has brought into action another type of hero who today
challenges the laurels won by men who pioneered the
Seven Seas and ieft behind them glorious traditions in
capable of being dimned or diminished. ......
These are the men like the crew of the dirigible
Akron who merited the commendation of Lieut.-Gomm r.
Wiley: “discipline in control car perfect.”
it is only when confronted by such impending trag
edies that the newest of the nation’s fighting forces
have had opportunity of giving us a close-up of what
might expected of them when they face a foreign foe.
" What material loss suffered in the destruction of
the Akron is more than compensated in the fact that our
air forces are manned by men who carry the traditions
handed down by John Paul Jones and those illustrious
architects of American martial glory who blazed the
trails when the nation wTas young.
While all hearts go out to the bereaved parents,
brothers, sisters and wives of the heroes of the Akron
they will share with them the pride and glory which
clothed those who stood steadfast at their posst of duty
and accepted what fate held for them.

HIGH SCORES MADE
TUESDAY RIFLE SHOOT:
‘WHALERS' TONIGHT
Many fine scores were marked
up among the contestants in last
night’s shoot-fest.
Again the City squad hung up
a victory standard and with it a
record when they came through
with a team score of 894. Firemen
were next with 837 and the Legion
trailed with 748.
Individual scores:
City—King-pin Horton 190, Gos
soge 183, Gilliland 181, Trevethan
179, Paulsteiner 163.
! Firemen—Valade 186, Shellhorn

| they 141.
Legion—Murphy 177, Hopkins
173, Huff 134, Roberts 133, Chil
berg 131.
Tonight the welkin will ring
with the Firemen taking on the
j “Whalers” from the SS Starr. The
match starts at 7 p. m., and the
! public is urged to come early and
! avoid the crush. So far the betting
; seems to be about even but the
j “Whalers” claim to have lost their
sea legs and are therefor in bet
i ter balance.

head the fine cast in the very interesting picture
“Men In Her life”
A misleading name for an extra fine drama, including a mur
der mystery, and staged in both Europe and America. Not a
“sexy” story, bt t an absorbing play full of comedy touches and
rich romance.
With it there is an unusually good two-reel detec
tive comedy that will make you sit up and take
notice. And an extra good News reel.
