Many Distant Inquiries These announcements were made at a meeting of the Aero Club last night by President Delos Woods, who has been keeping the telegraph wires between Wichita and half a dozen Eastern cities singing for more than a week with information about the Wichita balloon races. "This balloon race is going to be one of the biggest things Wichita has pulled off in a good many years," said President Woods. "There is a tremendous interest in cities that have held races and I expect to see at least twenty outside newspapers represented."

a charming personality, an unusually attractive magnetism and to be a most modest celebrity. For one of his great fame he is re markably frank and unassuming, and his head has not been turned in the least. His extraordinary modesty approaches diffidence. And it is sup-prising to onlookers the manner in which he Mushes like a debutante and tries to slip out of the calcium when he is made the unwilling center of attraction and discussion at any gathering. Hearne is a college graduate, and is of a refined, cultured appearance.

He wears his clothes exceedingly well, so wolfc that his natty sartorial make-up has caused him to be dubbed the "Merry Wall of Racing Drivers," and admittedly he deserves this nom de plume. Instead of a daredevil of the racing whose fast and fierce driving evinces his contumely for death, one would take him for just what he is member of the ultraset, a habitue of the most proper places, one expected to be seen at the most exclusive functions. And when he doffs bis driving clothes and stables his steel steed for the winter, he drops into his place, rides the social swell, in his home town Cincinnati. Hearne has always been the, cynosure of pulchritudinous femininity at all the big races in the country, and has been the honor guest of many fashion- aide affairs, ones to which only our set" is invited. He does not.

seek these attentions, but is always taken up by ho best people. Girls always root for his good-looking driver, anil his many victories lie attributes to the fact that he does not wish them to think little of his ability as a racer and drives better than he knows how in order not to disappoint ihetn. He thinks, be says in a letter to Tim Hurst, Speedway Park manager, that lie will win the "Sunflower Derby" at the christening of the new track.

Content. "That can be readily understood from the fact that It costs tile pirates about three and one-half cents a fool to duplicate the reels, whereas it costs the legitimate companies several thousand dollars a film because of the big salary and royalties paid to Chaplin." The federal authorities charge that the method used by Mevi to get hold of the original of the films was to call at a film exchange and ask that, one of the latest Chaplin films be sent to a certain moving picture theater on a I -day rental basis. As sor.n as the messenger disappeared, it is said, Mevi would rush off with the film to a photographic printing establishment, where he would have a duplicate negative made. HERMAN BECOMES THE HUPMOBILE AGENT Wichita is to have a Motor Show. It will be held in the Forum Annex October 4-14, but those who merely attend this much of the motor Industry of Wichita won't see all there Is to see.

It might be said that the second show is Motor Row, for here, up and down the avenue, are the spacious salesrooms of most of the exhibitors. Also many salesrooms of well known' cars and accessories who because they applied too late, or feared they might not get cars to exhibit, are holding open house right at home, (in the north end of the Row, at 13s North Mawrence, can be found the Hup-mobile agency. This is Wichita's Motor Row's newest member. M. M.

Herman is In charge He a young man who has lived all his years in and around Wichita and for th past ten years, excepting a late absence of a year, has been a resident of this city. He was in business successfully at Mils North Mawrence Avenue for sev eral years. The Hupmobile is one car that has had an uninterrupted success. It has many friends too many. Mr.

Herman declarer, since it is only vithin the very last p-w days that he has been even abb- to obtain an opening stock. Hut at last they have arrivd and Mr. Herman insists that to piss up Motor Row, espcially th" northern part, will be ffSnn, but a part what Wichita has to show. SE DC Wick REVIVAL t. 2.

Sunday is expected to be a great day at the revival meeting which Is being conducted here by Rev. C. A. Three great services are planned. "The Personality of Christ'' is the morning subject.

A iss meeting for men will bo held at o'clo' p. the subject heing, "Mon, Where Is Your Influence?" The evening subject will be. "Found Out." Reverend Miles is a pleasing speaker, and has a happy faculty of presenting old truths In a new dress. Meetings ail next week. EDDIF, I''ame not finances is all little "Eddie" Hearne, the millionaire- society driver, who will be one of the participants in the "Sunflower Derby," the 100-mile race between a dozen driveis for in prizes on October 14 on the new Wichita speedway, wants here below.

Fame, not in dainty morsels but in great chunks, has already been his portion, but his appetite for it seems insatiable. "Fame is what I want and wall get before my avidity for it gets me," declares the social favorite. "I think that is a good way to figure even if you need money," he continued, "as I have found if you have fame why fortune comes also they' both tango together." If you held a great many records for automobile racing before you were :0, you would think you had done pretty well and were entitled to a niche in the hall id lame, wouldn't And wouldn't you be content to go after the dollars and let fame be chased by someone else If you were the ladder of numerous records? Wclf, "Eddie" has the records and quite a nice bale of "kale," too. His money as not all garnered in on the track, but came via, an inheritance. And that is the reason he refuses to barnstorm aroend the country, but will only appear at the big speedway races, and his hope of getting a stronger stranglehold on tame is inducing him to risk death in the century race on the final day of the opening program of the speedway.

"Eddie" is popular with his feljow drivers and racing enthusiasts. Reason: Ho Is a great spender. His prodigulitv is almost, as widely known as bis reputation as a demon He is probably the wealthiest professional speed merchants. This' handsome oung race like anything but a daredevil. driver, of the looks lie is tall and straight, and bis smiling face does not begin to express the nerve thai must be behind his recklessness on the track.

All who have met him vote this demon of the track to have John W. I terry; capacity 40,000 feet; piloted by Captain Merry. Kansas City No. 1. owned by Cap-iin John Watts: capacity S0.0O0 feet; piloted by Captain Watts.

A cabaret performance was staged at noon today in City Judge Hogan's Court to decide if the singing of Earl Hubricb, Cass Avenue, and Nat Ill 1 St. Vincent Avenue, who vocalized through megaphones at the F. W. Woolworth Store, 010 Washington Avenue, could be classed 'as peace disturbance. The singing so pleased Judge Ho-gan that, he freed Collins Holcomb, manager of Woolworth's, who has employed the singers, of a charge of peace disturbance on complaint of Harry It.

Collar, manager of Wolff's Clothing Company, and six clerks at the clothing store, which is across the street from Woolworth's. Aft' listening to evidence in the Judge Hosan decided to have the sing. Hubricb sang first and lloj-an decided the singing was case men Juri.L good. Minns was next placed on tne stand to sing. He sang Everyone I Know M-nves You," looking straight into the eyes of the Judge.

"That is not a bad noise," said the Judge. Associate City Counselor Sei-del declared that the noise would disturb the court if it was marie across the hall from the court. "1 would adjourn court and go and listen to it." said Hogan. Hogan insisted the singing was music and found the manager of Wool-worth's not guilty.
