Harrison, San Diego Naval Air Station; Ma. chinist's Mate Kenneth Rae, San Diego Air Station, According to navy officlals, the plane, a Curtiss 2-T-4 torpedo type, Spokane with spare parts for the transcontinental air race entrants. Forced Inland, It was said that the fliers had beon ordered to proceed along the coast route, but probably had been forced inland by the low haze en- countered seaward, Palmdale is 80 miles from Los Angeles. Although all three of the men were equipped with parachutes, it appeared from examination of the wreckage that only one of the fliers attempted to save his life by leap- ing from the ship when to went into a nose dive, This man, one of the machinist's mates, sncceeded in clearing the falling ship, but was killed when his parachute failed to open because of the low altitude. y Lost, According to reports from the desert. the plane had been working perfectly when sighted before moon, but it appeared that the men were hepelessly lost when driven in from the sea. Before the crash, it was revealed by examination. Lieut. Booth and the machinists had written notes back and forth (indicating their plight, "Where are we?" asked one note. "What direction are we going " was another.

WHERE THE SHOE PINCHES (Keystone Motorist) "My wife has rim away man in my car!" "Good heavens! Not your mew oar?" | with a Whitby W. C. Reinke, Representative, Phones 227 and 848 JOY IN GHRISTIAN RELIGION TOLD BY SPEAKER IN WHITBY Rev, Frederic Glover, of Winnipeg, Preaches at St, John's Church (By =<!f Reporter) Whitby, Sept. 19.--Joy in the Christian religion and the Christian life was the Message brought to the people of St, John's Anglican Church, Port Whitby, by«Rev, Fred- erick Glover, of Winnipeg, who spoke yesterday at the Harvest Thanksgiving Service, Joy and happiness have a Breal place in life, along with laughter which is the outcome of joy, There are only two beings which ean laugh, Almighty God and infinite man, At this season of the year we offer thanks to God for his gifts to us hut how many of us stop to think of what He has glven, gifts of health, friends material things and last of all spiritual gifts, The great- est and best of all, said the speaker is the ability to laugh. It often helps us to bear our, burdens more easily along the path of life, "I don'y think we laugh enough. We are not happy enough, Let § take a full share of our heritage of joy for there are times when it is right to laugh." There are, sald Rev, Mr. Glover, three sources of honest happiness and laughter, First, there is the joy of accomplishment. There are many popular services in the Church year hut the most joyful and happy of all is the Harvest Home, when we are rejoicing over successful ef- forts,, something accomplished. That man is the hanpiest who is doing something worth while, The second source of joy is the sense of deliverance. We are grate- ful to God hecanse of what He has done for us, The children of Israel rejoiced when they had crossed the Red Sea and saw the chariots and horsemen of Egypt being over- whelmed in the waters. There was a more recent illustration in our own day, when the news was flash- ed to all parts of the Empire of de- liverance from the enemy in the world war. We do right to be thank- ful for the material gifts, for food and protection, but there are greater gifts which enrich nourish the soul. There is the gift of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Luther in answer to the question, "What is Jesus Christ?" said 'None other than laughter and melody." The gos- pel is good news to men. The New Testament opens with happiness and joy. When the proclamation was that at last the Savior was borne, the very angels rejoiced. From one view, we are in a world of war, of wounds, and blood. That is not a true picture of redemption. The true note of the Christian faith is laughter, joy, goodness, gladness. Nothing can touch the man who has taken Christ as his Savior. We can rejoice because God has redeemed us by the blood of His Son. The secret of laughter is in Him Who loved us with everlasting love. Reli- gion is not taught but caught and if we have caught it we shall have to sing. CAR HITS POLE WHEN FRONT TIRE BLOWS OUT (By Staff Reporter) Whitby, Sept. 19.--A blowout in a front tire caused a motorist pro- ceeding morth on Brock street yes- terday afternoon to lose control of his car with the result that it crash- ed into a pole on the left side of the street.

The escape appears to have heen systematically planned. Officers Are Overpowered The usnal practice is to have doors opened by two jail guards, One Is required under the regulations to enter, while the other locks the door and remaining outside the bars. To- night Last and Hall entered Ward 1 from the main corridor, and, locking the corridor door, turned to the dooe of the ward where Martron, Brown and Agnew waited, with Harlton be- hind a third door in his steel cage. As the door opened the fist of Martron shot out like a bullet, fell- ing Last. Before Hall could assist him the three prisoners launched a slashing attack. Both officers went down in the doorway unconscious, and, while lying kicked and bruised, their keys were snatched from them and used to complete the jail deliy- ery. Harlton was first released from the cage built to make the jail proof against bad men, after the escape of the Murrell brothers on the eve of their trial for murder three years ago. A 12-inch key lifted the bar back into the main corridor and gave the escaping desperadoes access to Ward 3, where McLeod was confined with a dozen others, mostly drunks and vagrants from the eity court. The ward doors were unlocked and thrown open, and, though a dozen could have followed, McLeod alone chose to make the break for liberty with the first quartet. Another key gave them access to the southwest- ern jail yard, where the hangman's scaffold is usually built and using a (Continued on Page Ten) Bowmanville Ivers Kelly, Bowmanville, representative, Telephone 800 General Clean-up Campaign Planned to Make the Town Bright and Attractive -- Post Office Was Erected During Reign of King Ed- ward VII, -- Clock Being Repainted With Bronze Dial Being Refinished in Gold Leaf (By Staff Reporter) Bowmanville, Sept. 18 Redeenrat ing of the Bowmanville pe office now well unde way, begins a genera' ampaign here in which the whole ommunity i= joining to make "Bow manville "own you Remember' the most 'spi wl=span municipality n Eastern 0) This closing seca son' tourist hrought large sum of money int: listrict, and rea'iz ing the value it traffic as neyw hefore, the to. launching an ef fective program now to make 1928'¢ tourist season even more profitable, That some $25,000 will be spent ir the effort to make Bowmanville, al eady known as Eastern Ontario's most yeautiful town, more attractive thar ver next scason is freely estimated While not a civie affair in the sense f official proclamation, citizens in gen- eral are preparing to join in the move ment with an enthusiasm that no mere by-law could evoke.

DENIES WAR GUILT OF GERMAN NATION Hindenburg Says Germany Unsheathed Sword in Self Defense Tannenbherg, East Prussia, Sept. 18.--Unveiling & monument of the famous battle of Tanpenberg, in August, 1914, President Von Hin- denbu::. who was victorious in that battle, delivered a speech this morn- ing repudiating Germany's war guilt. It was in self-defence and with a pure conscience, he declared, that the sword was unsheatbed by Ger- many, "The accusation that Ger- many was responsible for this greatest of all wars, we repudiate," he said. "All classes of German people unanimously repudiate it. It was not because of our envy or hate or d.sire for conquest that we drew swords. On the contrary, the war with all the terrible sacrifices it demanded from the whole country Was an extreme measure resorted to for the presevation of our existence against a host of enemies. "With clean hearts we marched out to defend the fatherland; with clean hands the German army wield- ed the sword. Germany ready at any moment to prove this fact before imparfial judges. "In numerous graves, the sym- bols of German heroism, rest warri- ors of every party without distinc- tion They died united in-love and loyalir to the common fatherland. At the foot of this memorial may all inner strife sink into oblivion. Let this be a spot where every Ger- man may rasp the of every fellow-coun' ryman heart is filled with love of fatherland and whose mind cherishes above every- thing else the thoughts of German honor. "Inspired by this wish, I hereby declare the portals of the Tannen. berg national memori:' open."
