An Italian aviator flew a plane up side down from St. Louis to Chicago in three hours, six minutes and 39 seconds, which proves that an Italian aviator can fly a plane upside down from St. Louis to Chicago in three hours, six minutes and 30 seconds. Texa R has repudiated the 18th Amendment, which its senior senator, Morris Sheppard, wrote. Even the senator's home town gave a majority to the re»pealista. Texas was the 23rd State to vote "wet” with none so far listed for the "drys," which ghowg what a mighty change of senti ment has come about in the past few years on the prohibition question. Even Billy Sunday, the noteu evange- liat, who divided his time between "preaching the gospel and preaching prohibition" is now confining his efforts to "preaching the gospel.” ♦ ♦0 0 0 I; Nobody’s Business By Gee McGee.

Situated on the Pitts' plantation. Its contrasting natural beauty and leg endary ' treachery provide awesome thrills to visitors. A maze of winding passages, “bottomless" pits, phantom- like stalactites and ghostly vaulted domes add to its mysteries. Probable unexplored sections of the cave include a lohg passage said to extend under the Chlckasahay rlvefT Tales of men. who entered the long passageway never t$ return are told by J. O. Pitts, grandson of the late Dr. J. It. S. Pitts, the original owner. Pitts delights in showing visitors through the short route and relating legends connected with the cave. The entrance, on the side of a hill, resembles somewhat the mouth of a gaping prehistoric monster. A flight of steps provided by Mother Nature guides the visitor Into a vestibule about 10 feet wide, approximately the same height and extending back into the hill 40 feet. Forty-five minutes are required to make the trip through the short route. The explorer, after crawling, walking, climbing natural stairs, and wedging through narrow passages, finally will exit into another vestibule, similar to the one at the entrance. Pitts said an Indian and his dog once explored the long route. The Indian returned but his dog was lost, according loMie story. Returning In to the cn\f in search of the animal, the India/) never was seen again, but the dog 'finally emerged with all the hair gone from his body. The suppo sition Is that the dog's hair was re moved by some form of gas, which probably killed the Indian. Later, an uncle of the present Pitts plantation owner equipped himself with a muss of twine and candles, and unwinding the twine, explored a por tion of the long cave.

High Driving Cost gets in. Repair bills on your car go up. You buy more gasoline, use up more tires. De preciation is faster. And that applies to any type of road that is Less Than concrete i Prove it? It’s been proved—by government and state engineers who have been making im partial road tests since 1917. They have mea sured—in dollars and cents—what it costs to drive on each type of road. They've proved that it costs less to drive on concrete than any other type of road. That’s why “cheap” roads are really ex pensive! For the real cost of a road is the cost of building and maintenance Plus the cost of using it. concrete roads save money. They cost less to maintain. They lower the cost of automobile operation. Insist on concrete for economy, permanence and driving comfort. PORTLAND CEMENT ASSOCIATION Hurt tuilding* Atlanta, Go.
