The submarine K-51 was sunk 20 miles east of Block Ixlaad after collision with the steam ship City of Rome It is reported that i!7 en of the submarine's crew were drowned. Three of the crew were picked up by the City of Rome, which :;ent a radio message to the submarine base at New London telling of the ac Hlent. Stsemship City of Rome was en route from Savannah to Boston, and was due in that city Friday. The S-51 was of 1,500 tons burden when submerged and of 1.200 tons bur den when running on the surface. The S-51 mounted a four-inch gun forward and five torpedo tubes firing :l-lnch projectiles. The vessel's com plement when filled was of 38 ment und four officers. The commander was Lieutenant Dobson The Boston navy yard had no details. It was said there that a radio message by one station to the City of Rome wrought the reply that there was no information to give out at present. The City of Rome sent this message to the submarine base at New London: "Cillided with sunken submarine S 51. Threa men saved." At the submarine base it was said lhat 40 men were aboard the S-ol. Rodger and at San Francisco. : San Francisco.. The crew of the i naval seaplane PN-9. No. 1. headed by j Oomdr. John Rodgers, returned to San HYanciscfc in triumph after having ' been given up for lost when they were : I'orced down on their attempted non- i stop flight from here to Hawaiian Is- lands. Returning on the battleship Idaho, the aviators were welcomed by the city ! :ts heroes. They were escorted up Market street by detachments of po lice, marines and sailors from the Idaho with an army band. At the city hall they were greeted by Mayor James Rolph, Jr., and a citizens' com mittee and were presented witk medals. Commander Rodgers and his crew later were guests at a lnncheon at the Commercial club. Asked if he had any comment to make on the charges, made by Col. William Mitchell against I ha military air service, Commander Rodgers said that he did not know of the charges. "If he said that the failure of the Hawaiian flight was due to misman agement, however, he is mistaken." ihe commander ventured. "I was re sponsible for all of the flight arrange ments and know that no more could have been done than was done." Poore and Conner Wear Two Stars. Washington. Brig. Gens: Benjamin A.

Hit BOAT li I PLANS ES FIRST TEN YEARS WOULD CALL FOR 79 MILLION DOLLARS ANNUALLY. Washington. D'sclosure to the Presidents airboard by war depart ment witnesses that the approved pro ject for expansion of the army air service would cost approximately 79, 000.000 a year for the first ten years and ?60. 000.000 a year thereafter to maintain a peace time fleet of 2,500 planes and other auxiliary aircraft served to bring to light that this is only one of nearly a score of similar projects now under study at the de partment. Some of these, which are regarded as even more urgent from a national defense viewpoint than immediate air service expansion, involve almost equally as large expenditures in addi tion to present army budget figures. There is much speculation at the department as to whether the Presi dent's air board will not find it neces sary to weigh these and similar non air service problems of the navy to some extent before its recommenda tions for aviation can be formulated. The army air extension project is founded on proposals submitted by Major General Mason M. Patrick, chief of the air service, to Secretary Weeks two years ago and referred to the board headed by Major General William Lassiter, then on the general staff, for findings. It involves a ma terial and personnel expansion pro gram covering ten years to reach a peace strength of 4,000 officers and 25.000 men operating 2,500 planes. The only cost item dealt with by the board was its recommendation for a $25,000,000 annual appropriation for new planes and operations. Subsequent full cost studies pre sented to the air board by Brigadier General Hugh Drum each year for the first ten years as around $79,000,000 and the continuing cost of upkeep there after at $60,000,000. These figures were based on pay, housing, subsist ence, medical, quarter master ord nance and signal corps increases necessary for the complete carrying out of the peace time air project which represents about one sixth of the sixfleldarmy full war strength national defense plan. The air strength on a war footing would be 22.616 officers, 172.920 men and 8.766 planes. No attempt yet has been made to estimate war strength costs. Five Persons Shot, Escaping. Miami. Fla Five white prisoners were wounded, a negro trusty acci dentally shot and killed and a pedes trian almost a block from the jail wounded in the left arm when a gronp of 15 prisoners made an organized at tempt to escaps from the Dade county jail during the breakfast hour. The escape was frustrated when the 15 men were met by a volley of bullets fired from shotguns and revolvers by deputy sheriffs as they emerged from the jail door. In anticipation of the attempted escape, the armed deputies headed by Sheriff Henry It. Chase placed themselves at various vantage points in the jail yard and fired as the men broke from I he door. O'.lie Moore, negro trusty, was shot and killed. The wounded prisoners who are In the Jackson Memorial hospital are: Grady Carroll, formerly of Atlanta, wounded in the chest and left side, condition not serious. B. S.

Ml A Proclamation I By the Governor i Seti Aside Week of October 4-10 As Fire Prevention Week. The state of North Carolina has for years led in efforts to reduce fire waste ami its attendant loss of life and property. October 4 to 10 inclu sive has been designated as Fire Pre vention week throughout the United States, and I appeal to our citizen ship who are so familiar with the de struction of fire to become vitally in terested in this preat economic waste. The fire loss in the United States last year (1924) was more than five hundred and fifty millions of dollars with more than 17,000 persons killed and a vastly larger number crippled and maimed for life. North Caro lina's share in this loss was more than five million three hundred and twenty thousand dollars with 343 lives and hundreds of our people maimed. It is well known that carelessness and ignorance of fire hazard go hand in hand as the chief causes of our great NATIONAL BONFIRE. I, therefore, urge that the week of October 4 to 10 be set aside as Fire Prevention week in accordance with section 6080 of the consolidated stat utes, which provides that the gover nor of North Carolina shall, each year in October, issue a proclamation urg ing the people to a proper obser vance; During this week I also urge that fire drills be held in schools, factories and stores, and that they be con tinued at regular intervals; That schools, theatres, churches, public and private hospitals and in stitutions, factories, stores and ho tels be inspected to see that every safeguard against fire is provided, and also that exit facilities are suf ficient in case of fire; That local authorities examine their fire ordinances and make them sufficient if they are lacking in any particular. To this end I urge our citizens to thoroughly co-operate with our insur ance department, and that every may or issue a proclamation. 1 earnestly request the co-operation of every citizen, chamber of commerce, Ro tary clubs, Kiwanis and Women's clubs, and all other civic bodies and the press. As October 4 comes on Sunday I especially appeal to the clergy and Sunday school superinten dents to bring this to the attention of their people. Now, therefore, I, A. W. McLean, governor of North Carolina, in ac- cordance with law, do issue this my proclamation, and I do set aside and designate October 4 to 10, 1925, as Fire Prevention week and do urge all the people to a proper observance of this week in obedience to the statutes of North Carolina. Done at our city of Raleigh, this the 8th day of September, in the year of our Lord, one thousand nine hundred and twenty-five, and in the one hundred and fiftieth year of our American Independence.

CM. unless you know the man who makes it. Ninety per cent of the things bought for your home are selected by the lady member of the firm. She is the purchasing agent. Most men admit that she is a capable buyer, and the reason is this: She must be shown convinced by proof that an article is what she needs and is worth the price ! For that reason, she sees the advantage of dealing with a local merchant a man whose "personal guarantee of satisfaction" means just what it says. She knows that what he advertises in this paper is entitled to her consideration. Because she has confi dence in her neighbor the local dealer-she can safely invest the family funds in what he guarantees. Read the Ads in this Paper ar4 save ycurvelf money by tuding at home !
