T MILWAUKEE, Wis., May 23 There probably is nothing in which luck plays so great a part as compet itive aviation, for despite the rapid strides in recent years navigating the aid still is dependent on so many factors that almost any pilot in fig uring his chances in. a race will admit that the result is about 75 per cent dependent on the whims of the god dossil fortune 1 ' This is .particularly true in balloon ing, where the, navigator-does not have the same control over his craft as an airplane pilot has and in the national balloon race which starts from here May 30 two pilots who are afflicted with probably the. toughest luck in aviation records will com pete. They are J. S. McKibben and Bernard Von Hoffman, both of St. J Louis, for they 'lost the international Gordon-Bennett balloon race at Bru sels last year just because the luck goddess glanced the other way at a critical moment. Luck put them in the anomolous position of traveling farther than any other etitry and yet losing the race, although it is a con test tor distance and not for speed. This is the way McKibben tells it: "We left Brussef? "about 5:45 p.m. Sept. 18, 1921, under very favorable conditions for a storm was brewing and we were in the midst of a 30-mile-an-hour wind which carried us northwest and in two hours we were . i over Zeebrugge. The North Sea was ; crosse3at an altitude b'f 4,500 ft. j "Shortly we passed over London, j By sunrise we were in North Wales; and the Irish sea was in sight. We j dropped down very low and asked' where we were and how far it was across the sea. The farmers told us it was 100 miles, and we decided to ; tackle it. . j "About 8 :30 a.m. we crossed the town of Aberswith, but the wind gradually died down and at 11:30 we were over Bardsley Island. We decid-i ed to land but while maneuvering we caught eight of another balloon to the south of us. We kept sailing on ; and at 4:30 p.m. were only a milej from the Dublin shore only a mile from sure victory in the world's air i race, for we. were certain no other . bag could have traveled that far. j "But there was no wind and we j could not get into shore. We threw j out all ballast, but could not get over land. Slowly we were sinking, but it was into the sea, and that was where we landed. A ship picked us up one mile from shore and this dis qualified us." "Imagine our disgust when he lat er learned that the balloon we sight ed at Bardsley Island had landed there itself and had won the race by ... . ' so doing! Had we landed on the isl and we would have tied the wlnn.'r!" COTTON MARKET. . Close. 19.81 ..'..I.. 21.53 ..--20.30 Open.

DOES NO SWEfl LUCK PLAYS PAR BALLOON RACES L GET MAILS PERMIT LOS ANGELES, May 23. A book called the "Sins of Hollywood" sup posed to expose the lives of certain moving picture stars, is too scurril ous to be permitted to the mails, ac cording to a ruling made today by Mark Herron, Deputy United States district attorney. The frontispiece is a picture of a beautiful girl and a picture came ra on one side. LITTLE TO YOU, T Last year America sent 1,000 tons of clothing to the Bible Lands. The supply is now exhausted. Number less men, women and children aie destitute of clothing and thousands have no covering whatever save the thinest rags. "Common labor is required of sll refugees physically able to work," reports R. M. Davidson, from the Caucasus. "Many of them, alas, un derfed and undernourished, have not enough clothes to keep them warm when working out-of-doors in freez ing weather of this altitude." "In spite of a recent gift of 224 pail's flf new stocl'ings, and 376 pair ofshoes, not new, but reconstructed, many feet are still bare, or little bet ter, in stockings only in mud and snow," writes Miss Mabelle Phillips, orphanage superintendent in Djalal Oghli district. . Frozen feet, which often lead to gangrene and amputations, are de scribed by Fred P. Margerum, a wor ker in the field. The clothing cast aside as worth less by our people here in America would provide comfortable covering for every unclad person in the Near East, and would be an untold bless ing to thousands who have been strip ped of all their possessions. This clothing can be transferred to them through the agency of the Near East Relief, incorporated by Act of Con gress to relieve the suffering in that country. In a previous clothing campaign Philadelphia adopted the slogan "the Plea that Touched the Heart of Phil adelphia." Fourteen carloads of old clothing was the answer. Such a plea should touch the heart of every city and country, and bring its answer clear and strong. It is such a little thing for an Am erican to dig those cast-off garments out of the clothes box and send them down to the Bundle Station, but to at least one, and perhaps several hu man beings in that far-off land, it may mean the difiV'ence between life, hope, strength and almost cer tain death. June 1' is "Bundle Day." Give all your old clothes you do not need. . 3. B. Slaugter, County Chrm. IRWINTOWN, Ga., May 23.

I 4 S S OF 0 100 TO MUCH TO M M SWARMS JAIL AND GET PHI SONER SSAN DEVELOP LARGE TRADE WITH OF MOSCOW, MAY 19 Detailed re ports of development of trade be tween Russia and the outside world since the beginning of 1920 have been published in Soviet press, cover ing the period since Russia's first peace treaty was concluded with Es thonia when the blockade against Russia was brought to an end. Chief ly due to lack of eyslem and the chaotic conditions which exsisted. dur -ing 1920, Russia exports but little in that time, the imports, however, being valued at 50,000,000 gold rub les. But as soon as trade agencies and representations had gained a firm footing in London, Berlin, Stockholm and other industrial centers, an act ual system became apparent in the the foregin trade of Soviet Russia all business being carried on under sup ervision of the People's Commissar for Foreign Trade, L. B. Krassin. In 1921 Russia imported goods val ued at 248,000,000 gold rubles equi valent to $124,000,000., chiefly coal, chemical and metal goods Valued at 20,000,000 gold rubles, chiefly flax, and other raw materials. England took the lead in supplying Russia with its needs last year with Germany second. The deliveries con sisted chiefly of agricultural requis ites. America took third place, having supplied 16 percent of the import goods, exclusive of relief supplies. The Soict press concludes that, owing to the" exhausted condition of the country, it is scarcely considered possible to increase the export busi ness during the next few years, al though, says one paper, an improve ment in the quality of the goods may well be expected.

BATUM, Armenia, May 20. The unrest which followed the annexation of Georgia, Azerbaijan and Armenia to Russia has subsided and the Red army of Soviet Russia has the situa tion well at hand. The principal event of importance in Batum, at the momant, is the mobilization of all the male population between the ages of 16 arid 21 without distinction of race or religion. The Cheka has not been suppress ed at Batum. On the contrary, its activities have increased. There is a vast ispionage organization in the town. Especially notorious are all the women members, nearly all of whom are of good family speaking French and, English. They are all demi-mon-daines and their methods are to dress well and spend money with both hands. The espionage institutions pay mem extremely wen ana iney have orders to scrape acquaintance with all kinds of person. whose sym pathy with Bolshevism is doubted, to whom they pose as innocent victims of the Bolshevik regime.
