If a gin sells well in a few places, for a few
weeks, it’s generally good gin. But when ANY gin
leads ALL others for MONTHS, in the ENTIRE
Territory, then you have found the ultimate gin—
OLD MR. BOSTON DRY GIN. For such is its
proud, enviable record.
Give the credit to the gin itself. Here’s no
mere juniper-gin. Oh no! Crystal-clear Old Mr.
Boston Dry Gin is a happy, successful blend of six
teen world wide ingredients. It’s a versatile,
friendly gin, and mixes deliciously with bitters,
vermouth, lime or lemon, soda or ginger ale. It
lifts a cocktail or fizz or rickey to a veritable work
of art. Or you can drink it deliciously straight,
for it’s as smooth as old brandy. It’s suave, and
with a delightful, quietly-interesting flavor.
Ask for, and insist on, Old Mr. Boston Dry
Gin.—

Petticoat Rule
Is Adopted By
Georgia Town
MEN NOMINATE AND ELECT
WOMEN AS MAYOR AND
TOWN COUNCIL
(By The Associated F*ress)
OAK PARK, Ga., Jan.—Petticoat
rule has come to this town of 500,
for the mayor and all the council
members are women.
The town doesn’t seem so surpris
ed at the result of the recent elec
tion as did the outside world. In
fact, it was a group of men who sug
gested that the women be candi
dates after Mayor M. H. Strange,the
retiring official, declined to be a
candidate for re-election after he
had met with little success in obtain
ing reforms which he had thought
would improve the town.
Mrs. Solomon S. Youmans, wife of
the town’s only physician, is the
new mayor. The women council
members ai]e: Mrs. J.D. Tyson, Mrs
G. C. Corbin, Mrs J J Powell, Mrs.
G. C Williamson and Miss Ada Belle!
Thompson.
A majority of the women are in
favor of the female regime, which
they hope will be able to produce a
better town. But there were some
who apparently were dissenters, for
the night before the election, the
town jail was soaked with gasoline
and burned.
The women were entered in the
race by the men themselves. The
day before the election arrived and
I no candidates had filed to take the
place of Mayor Strange and his
councilmen. So some of the men
decided to pick out a group of wom
jen who were known for their execu
tive ability and ask them to run.
As the women came to town to do
j their shopping, they were asked
[whether they would be candidates.
They were amused, and consented.
One woman, however, didn’t know
she was a candidate until the day of
the election.
The new mayor is the mother of
three daughters, ranging in age
from three to 15 years. She is presi
dent of the Parent-Teachers Associ
ation and is a prominent meihber
of the Baptist Church. On occasions
she acts as office nurse for her hus
band, answers the telephone and
keeps tab on his appointments.
Mrs. Williamson was postmistress
here and her husband was her as
sistant for several years until about
18 months ago. Then she relinquish
ed her position in his favor. Miss
Thompson keeps house for_her fath
er, a widower, who has farming in
terests.
The husband of Mrs. Corbin owns
a grocery store. Mrs. Tyson, youth-1

Small Machine; Locked To Larger
One, Can Be Released Easily
—
(By The Associated Press)
LONDON, Jan. — A strange com
posite aircraft which, it is hoped,
may improve the organization of the
trans-Atlantic air mail service will
be tested shortly on behalf of the
air ministry and the Imperial Air
ways.
Now in course of construction by
Short Brothers, one of the largest
seaplane works in the world, orig- i
inators of all-metal flying boats, it!
consists of a big flying boat which
carries a high speed seaplane on its
upper wing specially so secured that
it cannot be released until flying con
ditions are such that the upper
machine will lift itself clear of the ,
lower.
The device is intended to put into|
the air a heavily loaded seaplane
which would have the greatest dif- j
ficulty in leaving the water by its
own power only.
Combination Power
... The combination will thus consist
I
of a heavily-loaded small machine
and a lightly-loaded big machine
locked together, by a patented de
vice and capable of using their pow
er jointly during the take-off. They
will climb as a composite seaplane
until the operating height of the
small machine is reached and until
sufficient speed is attained not only
to allow the mail plane to fly inde
pendently but also to generate for
ces in the wings of the different sec
tions to enable the planes to separ
ate safely.
When that condition is reached,
the pilot releases the locking lever,
and the mail plane sails upward and
away on its journey, while the “por
ter” flying boat returns to its base.
. Invented by Major R. H. Mayor,
' it should, if it proves satisfactory, be
^of great importance in the evolution
^ of trans-Atlantic air mail, since it
promises to solve the difficulty of
combining long range with a reason
able pay load.
System Believed Best
The system is said to be preferable j
to catapulting because it will put
the mail plane into the air at operat \
ing height, thereby -allowing the
pilot plenty, of time to jettison the
bulk of his fuel if a forced descent!
should be necessary. It is also said

WILL SATISFY
THE MANIA
FOR SPEED
“Speed Demon.” the Cloumbia
motor boat racing story which corses
to the Dream Theatre tonight should
more than satisfy the present day
mania for speed and still more
speed. William Collier, Jr., and
Joan Marsh are featured in the prin
cipal roles of the production.
Hollywood has given jaded pic-!
ture audiences films dealing with
aviation, automobile racing and ev
ery other form of sport but “Speed
Demon” shows one of the most sen
sational events in the world—a- race
between the frail speedboats and
their daredevil drivers. This thrill-!
ing sport has captured so many de
votees in recent years that more
than 500,000 are said to own these
boats.
“Speed Demon” has a cast includ
ing, in addition to Collier and Miss
Marsh, Robert Ellis, Wheeler Oak
man, that talented child actor, Geo
rgie Ernest, Wade Boteler and Fuzzy
Knight. It was directed by D. Ross
Lederman, who occupies front rank
among directors of dangerous swift,
moving pictures.
In making the film Lederman had
the assistance as technical adviser,
of Rodney Pantages, one of the na
tional outboard champions, who also
| drove one of the boats in the film.
Other outboard champions who ap
Ipear in the picture are Joe Banzi,
Hersshey Reynolds and Roger Swart
wood.
“Speed Demon,” filmed from the
story by Charles Condon, shows
Collier as a speedboat racer who be
comes involved with a group of sin
ister racketeers and rum runners,
but is redeemed through the mut
ual affection of the girl who loves
him, and his big brotherly affection
for a little waif. There are thrill
ing race scenes, numerous exciting
crashes and accidents in the water.
