Movies Cure Sea-Sickness, Latest Claim
of Hollywood.
Hollywood, Calif., June 2.—An experi
ment in the filming on ocean passenger
liners as a cure for sea-sickness among
passengers is being conducted here by
Robert G. Vignola, a director.
The cause of sea-sickness, the director
declares, is largely visual, ’predicated on I
the shifting planes which characterize the j
motion of a ship. The larger ocean
passenger carriers are now equipped with |
exhibition cameras and screens, and it
is Vignola’s belief that pictures can be'
made for exhibition on shipboard which
will counteract the effect of the ship’s j
motion and save the most susceptible pas- j
senger from the horrors of mal -demer.

THE FLYING CIRCUS
Papers Dropped Near Tribune Office.— |
Same Program Tomorrow. —Free
Stunts at Field at 3 O’clock.
The Tribune's Flying Circus, which ar
rived in Concord Monday afternoon, set
tled down to work today and shortly af
ter noon Hew over the office and dropped
papers from the plane which contained in!
five of them, tickets for a free ride in'
the h ; g ship. . ;
Scores of boys and n few men stood
around for some time previous to the
noon appearance of the flyers. When the
papers were observed swirling down
from the rapidly moving plane, there was
a great dommotion. The papers fell for
the most part in the lot just in the rear
of the Dixie Building and some fell on
(lie roofs of the Reid Motor Co. and the
Grady Plumbing Co.
In the wild scramble resulting from
the dropping of tlie papers, Reid Craven
mnnaged to secure two of the tickets.
Glen HendVix, Paul Query, aud BTI
Grady each got one.
At three o'clock, the dare-devil flyers
will give their death defying stunts at
the grounds on South Union street just
across from Center Church. One of the
planes is out of commission today and
will be unable to fly. It is hoped to have
it ready by tomorrow.
Chief among the flyers is Clyde E.
Pangborn. who during the war won the
title of “Peck's Bad Boy” on account of
his daring exploits and his daredevil per
formances. He was considered, it is said,
one of the best men in the service but
army fliers were forbidden to do stunts
and Pangborn was unable to leave this
country.
Much interest is being manifest in The
Tribune's Flying Circus and crowds of
people are constantly visiting the grounds
on South Union street to look at the
planes. *
j Tomorrow at 12:30 the papers will be
again dropped near The Tribune office.
Five of the papers will contain tickets
good for a free air plane ride.

FINAL EXERCISE OF i
COMMENCEMENT
HIGH SCHOOL HELD
Graduates Given Their Di
plomas at Exercise Held
Monday Night in Auditori- j
um of the High School. I
DR. PRETTYMAN
WAS SPEAKER
Address One of Finest Heard
In Concord.—Prizes and
Medals Awarded to Mem
bers of Senior Class.
Forty-seven members of tlie senior
class, thirty-five girls and twelve boys,
filed one by one to the rostrum of the
auditorium of the High School Monday
night and were presented with diplomas
by W. I{. Odell, assisted by Superin
tendent A. S. Webb and Principal Hin
ton Mcl.eod. showing that they had ac
ceptibly completed tlie courses of study
as laid down by the school board and
the faculty.
Following the presentation of diplomas
the literary address was delivered by Dr.
F. J. Prettyman, of Gastonia, who, in a
brilliant flow of oratorical language,
brought to the graduates the thought!
that life is a great spiritual adventure
and that in this adventure, self discov
ery, seif mastery and self expression are
tlie three essentials to a perfect com
pletion of this journey.
Dr. Prettyman pointed out, in begin
ning. that there were 20,000 tourists
passing through North Carolina every
week. These tourists, he said, are im
pressed by the beautiful roads which we
have constructed. “It would seem to
them,” he continued, “that tifte master
passion of North Carolinians must be
such construction. However, if these
j tourists could pause a moment and stand
as I stand before an array of minds such
as that before which I stand, I am con
fident that these same travelers would be
ronvineed that education was the master
passion in North Carolina.
“I have come and I bring a message
with passion in it. I have come to give 1
you a commission from the citizens of,
Concord as you go out into life which |
now opens before you. I greet you is ,
j you stand tiptoe on life’s great spiritual,
You are challenged by those
(sitting behind you; graduates, not to
make a mistake. I challenged you not
to make an error.”
The speaker then pointed out that tlie
graduates had learned history, latin,
science and other subjects, still they had
not discovered self. This, he 6aid, was
the greatest thing in life. Geologists,
scientists nnd writers have tried to dis
cover the thing that makes life but have
been unsuccessful.
“What I would rather have you do is
to get out under the star sand toucli
the cords of your own heart as did Dpvid.
saying. ‘What art man that Thou art
mindful of him and the son qf man that
Thou visitest him? * * *”
Lincoln’s awakening, as written in his
autobiography, was then bruoght in by
the speaker as an ideal awakening. This
great man was. when he was 21, merely
a clerk in a country store. It was then
that he was elected captain of a company ;
in the war against the Black Hawk In-1
dian tribes. Lincoln said: “When I :
came back, I was elated and the world |
knows pretty well what I have done j
since.” All that you need to do, said j
Dr. Prettyman to the seniors, is to awake ,
-to be elated.
“Self mastery is the next step. The;
world is waiting for leaders who have 1
mastered themselves, which means work
ing laboriously and mastering overwhelm
ing obstacles.” Beethoven and Milton
were used by Dr. Prettyman as examples
of people who had mastered themselves.
Beethoven having continued Ms marvel
ous compositions even after becoming,
stone deaf and Milton writing some of ‘
the world’s most beautiful poems after j
blindness had stricken him.
“I was glad to see a-"medal given for
self expression,” said Dr. Prettyman. I
“It is a fitting prize for one who has j
learned this greatest art. I hope that -
you will be able to give expression to j
your dreams that you may do something
for God in His world.
“Young people,” said he in conclusion,
“with every opportunity, go forth With
the birthright of education and perpetu
ate your national history, and your
State's glory, by the product of your
own life nnd your own career.”
In the earlier jiart of the program, a
presentation of the medals and prizes was
made. The recitation medal, given by
Junior Order U. A. M. No. 25, Was pre
sented to Anita Umberger by L. T.
Hartsetl. The J. F. Cannon essay
medal was won by George Howard and
was presented by W. G. Caswell. A
feature of the essay contest this year
was the fact -that all essays were writ
ten iq school in the presence of a teach
er, giving no opportunity for assistance
from the outside. Helen Lee was pre
sented with the scholarship medal which
is given by Junior Order U. A. M. No.
40. The speech of presentation was
made by D. B. Coltrane.
Tlie exercises were presided over by
J. A. Cannon, president of the school
: board. Music for the occasion was fur
i nished by the High School orchestra
which played as a processional, “War
i M-arch of the Priests” by Mendelsqphn,
: and the Girls’ Glee Club which sang'two
numbers, “Boats of Mine” by Miller, and
“Smilin’ Thru” by Penn. Miss Dorothy
Wolff accompanied them at the piano.
The program was completed by the
- singing of the class song by members of
- the senior class.

NATIONAL EXPORTS IN 1924
Texas Ranked First in the Union During

! Out a Compilation of Figures.
Washington. June 2. —Texas ranked
first in the Union during 1924 as a
source of export contributions to the for
' | eign trade of the United States.
1 I The commerce department gave out
today a compilation of figures—the first
of their kind ever collected—which show
ed that Texas exports for the year had
a valuation of $737,218,927, just above
tlie $731,593,502 of exports credited to
New York, and comparing with the $293.-
’ 299,000 of, exports which originated in
: Pennsylvania, the state which ranked
: third.
The collection of the exports by states
1 of origin was begun first by the com
■ meree department in 1924. and is subject,
it was said officially, to some allowance
1 for error, due to the experimental im
-1 ture of the attempt .and to the fact that
• bills of lading attached to export ship
ments are not always marked to show
■ I the exact point of production. Notwith
; standing, the records attained are con

duty.”

decades following the Civil War. but even
yet for every young man who is trained
