The fifth row will be the first open to the public and the ringside 'section extends back to the giandtand of the stadium. Getz seat committee, it was announced, will work in secret to prevent their being influenced. It was planned to allot wedge-shaped blocks of tickets to business houses and clubs applying for a large number in- steadof giving a few organizations whole rows of the better seats.

Tex Rickard told the committee the Madison Square Garden Club of at Livingston, instead of south with an unbuilt proposed road. Various reasons for the requested change follows. V. The Hew Douglas road to Livingston would serve three communities (New Douglas, Livingston and Williamson) directly and many other nearby points, giving New Douglas immediate connection with route No. 4 west of Livingston.

The road west would also give New Douglas connection with route 16, thus giving connection in particular with Staunton, Mt. Olive and Litchfield. If the road -is built west, it immediately connects New Douglas with a paved road, DPt south it only connects with a. proposed road that in all probability will not be built for BOine considerable time to come. The distance from corporate limits of New Douglas to Livingston corporate limits is miles directly west.

The distance from the paved road on south Bide of Livingston to the main fctrcet in New Douglas IB 5 miles. Main street in New Douglas in macadam road. The distance from New DouRlas to Rockwell school house is miles. The load west is not alone immediately available when complete but is also a shorter distance road to Alton, EdwardsviHe. St.

Louis, etc than the south road from New Douglas. Likewise, it connects New Douglas with the industrial and mining towns and cities west and northwest of New Douglas and permits New Douglas residents to secure employment there. New Douglas does not have a physician since the war and must depend on Livingston and Stauntoa doctors Also it must depend on the Litchfield Hospital and the west road would make them more, accessible and available. The west road to Livingston would provide New Douglas with a more and better market outlet. For example: The Highland milk outlet him.

would remain as it has been and in me she gaya addition would make the Edwards- vine and Litchfield milk condensery available for New Douglas milk. Also would provide New Douglas with a road, prospective milk market at Alton, Tri-Cities or St. Louis. This argument would also apply for other farm products, livestock, etc. Most of the New Douglas people would wish and the most of the traffic would piefer and desire the west road to Livingston, as it oters all of the advantages of the road south and considerable additional, as indicated previously.

Traffic east, southeast and northeast of New Douglas, including Sorento, Reno, Panama, and beyond, would wish and prefer the proposed paved road from New Douglas to connect with the paved road at Livingston. The traffic west to Livingston and routes 4 and 16 would be much heavier than south to Rockwell school and would be available soon as completed. It is conceded that owing to Saver Creek the construction cost of road west would be hat higher than south, but this in leality is an indirect argument foi the paved road west as the New Douglas road to Livingston and Staunton is very bad and frequently impassible on account of Silver Creek being out of bank and wet bad bottom road. Whereas the road south from New Douglas to Rockwell school is one of the best stretches of dirt road in the east part of the county and is passable most of the year and long after the roads west have become impassable. The road west to Livingston would have to cross the Illinois Central Railroad, but on the four available routes there is ample opportunity for under or overhead crossings.

While the cost per mile would perhaps be somewhat higher, still per traffic, per person server, per ton hauled, per benefit derived by all parties concerned, it would be much cheaper and more economical. Despite the finding of a coroner's jury at Streator, 111., that Harry D. Hill killed his mother and should be held for the county grand jury, Alice Sawyer-to whom the missing boy was reported engaged, remains loyal to If he had done what they say he did he never could have deceived by the proposed Alton-Gieenville ad. New Douglas is the last and only village in the county that is not on a proposed road. New Douglas has been in the raud so long and so deep that it now feels it is entitled to be considered promptly and favorably with the proposed road program now under consideiation by the road and bridge committee and the Madison County Board of Supervisors, and desires that it be given a preferred position on the program.

While New Douglas does not wish to refuse or reject the pouth road, nevertheless it prefers and desires the road west to Livingcton and Olive Township, including the cities of Livingston and Williamson join in with this request. Consequently, the most logical paved road from New Douglas would then be to the paved road at Livingston and render the greatest good to the greatest number. Mr. and Mrs. A.

Plane in Excellent Shape as it Leaves Munich for Belgrade. Munich, Germany, Aug 30--The self-stled vagabonds of the air, Wm.

brock and Edward F. Schlee, resumed their 100 mile an hour jog a i the world at 6 36 A. M. today when they left in their Monoplane. Pi We of Detioit, for Constantinople.

They left Munich with the intention ot flying to the Turkish Capital i a stop, and hoped to cover the miles in 12 hours. "Our Slogan," said Schlee before the departure, is 'Constantinople or and we may bust." If, however, something goes wrong with the plane or weather, the flyers will be able to stop enroute, for their route was to carry them over Vienna, Budapest, and Belgrade. Before starting Brock and Schlee inquired about the landing fields at Belgrade, Bucharest, Sofia and Adri- anople. However, they were deter! mined to follow the Danube from Vienna to Budapest and reach Con- HEALTH GRAMS I Why don't people have ears as big as elephants'- What makes the fingers and toes stop growing when get to be normal size for the Dody they are on? Why is.it that the arms stop growing before they get long enough to reach the ground? Answer these questions and you are etting mighty close to the secret of what cancer. The mysterious power that governs the limitations of bodily growth breaks down at times and permits- a group of cells to embark on a wild and lawless career of growth.

When this happens cancer has set in. The cells that start a cancer are very much like a group of people who fitart a riot. They influence nearby cells to Join the mad- and lawless mob that seems bent on doing all the damage possible. Thus the cancer area grows constantly larger and larger until reaches such proportions that the body can no longer survive. Long standing or chronic irritation is regarded by the best medical opinion as one of the most important things that starts cells off on their unrestrained course of growth.

The irritation may be the result of either physical or chemical action. Thus a rough tooth or a poorly fitting dental'plate might continually irritate portions of the mouth. Workers in factories where anilin dyes are made get cancer of the bladder through chemical irritation set up by, the attempt of the body to rid itself of small o.uantities of the dyes that are ingested from time to time. Research workers can produce cancer at will by applying tar to the skin of lower animals and keeping it constantly in the same place. Observers haie collected considerable evidence showing that persons like weavers who are engaged in special occupations are more frequently afflicted with some particular type of cancer than others.

Thus the weavers have cancer of the crotch. To observe them at wotk one notices that this part of the body Is frequently rubbed against a part of the machinery while the weaver mends a broken thread. Constipation, lack of exercise and improper eating very likely play part in causing cancer. Each of these things may result in irritation of one kind or another. If this irritation be continued year after year there is every reason to believe that it may ultimately result in cancer if the Individual lives long enough.

Very few people under 35 need worry about cancer. It is reasonable to believe that avoiding continued irritation will prevent a good share of cancer but to cure one that has already started Here's a message to anyone who needs a new roof--whether it is on a new home or your old one. Roofs that play out after four to eight years of service are expensive. You then duplicate the original expense. The name Etemit is the symbol of permanence.

Asbestos rock for Eternits is mined down in South Africa. It is used along with the highest grade Portland cement. The layer-built construction makes Eteraits stronger and tougher. You should see these shingles -rigid pieces of rock. The name Eternit embossed on every shingle- for your protection-your guarantee of permanence.

Everlasting because there's nothing to rot, nothing to rust. Truly a roof that will last as long as the foundations. These are a few of the reasons why you should consider is a different question. A cancer that has continued for any considerable time is a serious matter that rarely if ever is curable. There is considerable evidence that cancerous conditions may be cured if correct treatment is applied early enough.

So far as the most reliable medical experience has determined the most successful efforts at cancer cure have been with surgery and radium. If the first little group of lawless cells are removed before they incite the surrounding cells to join them on their mad career of growth the matter may be ended there. the come. seats for the fight. 1 of the 47,000 "main floor" have been applied for accord- Rickard.

Dlxon, Aug. 30--A neighborhood leud was assigned by officials today as the motive for killing Fred Russell, 21, and his sweetheart, Pauline Dearmond, 16, as preparations -were made to question a girl and five youths in connection with the crime.

The machine was located Friday night by Wind- stead and returned to Howard, who owned it, although searchers for Miss Dearmond and Russell were not informed of the discovery.

Howard, according to county authorities, told conflicting stories of loaning his car to KuaaelL 12 hours at the indicated ideal flying conditions all the way, with northwest winds favoring the flight. Today's Journey is the third leg of their flight around the world. Brock and Schlee started from Grace Harbor, Newfoundland, Saturday morning, arrived at Croydon, England, Sunday morning, left there yesterday morning and arrived at Munich yesterday at 4 p. m. Because of the difference in time, the fliers should reach shortly after noon eastern standard time, and if they do they will have completed more than one-sixth of their proposed flight in a few hours more than three days after they left America.

The distance from Grace Harbor to Croydon was 2,350 miles, to Munich 580 miles, and to Constantinople 1,100, making a total distance to date of 4,030 miles. The total estimated distance of their Sight around the world is 22,067 miles. "We are already ahead of our schedule," Sehlee said before they left Munich. He said the total cost of the flight around the world would be about $50,000. The Pride of Detroit was fueled late yesterday for today's flight, so that no time would be lost in getting away.

Brock supervised the refuell- Irrg, after which both he and Schlee studied air maps, which were none too easy for them because of their unfamillarity with meters, kilograms and other units of the metric system. The flyers were relying largely on tlteir compass and, unlike Byrd and Noville and the German fliers, are able to carry on a running conversation while flying without resorting to au exchange of notes.
