LOOPS 1,092 TIMES IN
AIRPLANE TO SET RECORD
Minneapolis, Minn., Feb. 13.—Chat.
Holman, St. Paul, winner of the New
York-Spokane air derby last year,
set a new world record for aerial
somersaults when he turned over
1,092 times in his Laird biplane.
He carried ninety gallons of gaso-
line and was in the hour approxi-
mately six hours.
Holman’s performance broke the
record of 642 “loops” set by Lyle
Thro of Minneapolis a few minutes
before. Gene Shank of St. Paul set
a record of 616 turns a week ago.
Holman said he didn’t notice any
serious effects from the repeated som-
ersaulting. He made his loops rapid-
ly at about the same level. Shank and
Thro climbed high and made the se-
ries of turns in descending.

CHEVROLET FACTORY RUN-
NING AT GREATEST CLIP
Production at the Chevrolet Motor
Company factories throughout the
United States is running at the
greatest clip on record according to
Allen-Hoff, local Chevrolet dealers
who recently returned from Dallas
where they attended the annual south
west dealer meeting. More than 600
dealers and banker associates attend-
ed the meeting which took the form
of the most comprehensive sales pres-
entation ever staged in the automo-
bile industry. All addresses wen il-
lustrated in the form of playlets, de
picting the proper procedure to be
followed in the successful operation
of a retail automobile business.
The meeting was held under the di-
rection of D. E. Ralston, Assistant
General Sales Manager, who declared
in the coarse of the day that Chevro-
let production for the first three
months of the year would exceed 830,
000 units if the present schedule
carried through.
Assisting Mr. Ralston in the con
duct of the meeting were, Felix Do-
ran, Jr., Regional Sales Manager
Dallas; R. W. Losey, Dallas Zone
Sales Manager, and the following
officials from the Central Office in De
troit; D. G. Frazer, Service Promo-
tion Manager; W. G. Lewellen, As-
sistant Sales Promotion Manager;
Gustaf Ek, Assistant Commercial Car
Manager; D. U. Bathrick of the used
car division; and J. E. Rogers of the
dealer accounting and management
division.
Following the afternoon meeting,
the dealers and bankers were guests
of the Chevrolet Motor Company
an elaborate banquet in the Baker
Hotel.
The meeting was the twelfth of a
series of 43 similar sessions that are
being held this winter and spring
from coast to coast. c
Article appearing in New York
Evening Post, Thursday, February 3,
1927, by Clinton W. Gilbert:
“One of the House members whose
remarks it is always pleasant to read
in the Congrarisonal Record is Tom
Connally. Not Thomas, but just plain
Tom, the Congressional Directory has
lim, of Texas. He.is an active mem-
ber. He takes part in the debate often
and acquits himself well. He speaks
very simply but very incisively. He
has none of the flamboyant tricks of
the old fashioned Southern orator. He
s a product of modem Texas. He is
good humored, and it is evident that
the House likes to hear him. You can
tell by reading the Record whether a
speaker is a favorite personally or
not by the number of interruptions
that occur when he is speaking. If the
House is listening attentively, and if
the speaker has a ready tongue, ev-
erybody who has a talent for debate
breaks in and asks questions or in-
ects comments.
“A speech by Tom Connally is a
1 'ree-for-ali. He never declines to yield
the floor to any one who wishes to
interrupt him, and he always has a
ready rejoinder which draws forth
applause or laughter. His rising to his
feet puts all the best debaters in the
House on their toes. They interject
their comments and questions. The
Democrats rush to his aid with sug-
gestions. The House extends his time
over and over again, another five
minutes, and then two minutes, and
then one minute. He is almost the
deal House member, at least so far
as debate is concerned. He is never
ponderous and never dull, and yet he
does not waste time on mere fooling.
What he says is serious and apropos
and he points it up with sallies of
ramor and good-natured personali-
ties.
He is speaking on the farm prob-
lem and has alluded to Coolidge and
1928: “I observe,” he says “the
Speaker sitting here on the left. I am
glad to see him interested in this de-
bate. I have spoken now for twenty
minutes in behalf of the American
farmer. I have not hitherto, up to this
minute had the pleasure of having
the Speaker of the House in my audi-
ence, but since I got to the third-term
discussion the Speaker of the House
has emerged from his study, which
is congested with work on great Gov-
ernmental problems, and does me the
honor not to sit in the back seat, not
in tha cloakroom, peering out of the
door, but does me the honor to sit m
the front row in the Amen corner.
The House laughs at this allusion to
Mr. Longworth’s interest in 1928. Of
Mr. Dickinson of Iowa, to whom he is
replying, he remarks, “He goes over
and eats flapjacks in the White
House every time he gets a chance
and I suppose his only justification
with the fanners back in Iowa is that
by eating corn cakes and sausage he
is increasing the consumption of farm
products.”
'He is a solid, dark-haired man,
suppose in the forties. He refuses to
disclose his age in the Congressional
Directory, but he was a private in the
Spanish-American War, and that
makes him fairly young as House
members go.”

THE BOOSTER
The chap who thinks the neighbor-
hood
n Vfhich he lives is just as good
As any place beneath the skies,
And who will never criticize ■■
His fellowmen who live nearby,
Nor find their doings all awry,
lelps make that neighborhood of Ms
As good as he believes it is.
The chap who thinks his own home
town.
Deserves n laurel leaf and crown,
And brags about it far and near
To everyone who cares to hear,
And claims there is no place on earth
That has so many things of worth,
Makes any town that he may grace
A pretty good abiding place.
The chap who loves each grain of
sand
Within his own dear native land,
And is convinced no flag’s unfurled
O’er any nation in the world
That has institutions great
That may be found in his own state,
Helps any land where he may live
To merit praise superlative.
E. S. Snover, Jr. in the Kiwanian.
