(Associated Press Photos) PLYMOUTH ROCK STEPPING STONE Plymouth, Mass. (IP) Plymouth Rook, America's birthstone, Is the actual landing place of the Pil grims, according to evidence com piled by Henry W. Royal, curator of Pilgrim Hall. Sceptical tourists scoff at the suggestion that this Is true, point ing to the widespread belief that the rock is merely a symbol and that the original Immigrants did not even see It. Royal points out that the shore of Plymouth harbor was flat and sandy, and difficult to land on from a boat. It was natural, he says, for the Pilgrims to look for a rock and what is now known as Plymouth Rock was the only rock along the snore.

D. U)-From natural "cup" In the edge of the Black Hills, eleven miles south of here, the newest stratosphere bal loon ascension will start this month. Commanded by Major William . Kepner, a huge gas-bag, lifting an air-tight gondola weighted with al most a ton of scientific Instruments, will soar upward. The site for the take-off, chosen! after months of careful surveys, Is an open, level almost round plot of land some seven acres in extent. It is entirely surrounded by wooded hills, rising from 500 to 1,000 feet. These hills, it Is anticipated, will cut off vagrant air currents which might bring disaster at the take off. Not. until the great balloon has risen above the protecting hills will it become a target for the wind. By that time, Major Kepner believes, It will have achieved a sufficient alti tude to be beyond danger. ' There Is little doubt, It was said. that the winds will carry the bal loon, as it rises, east, and perhaps slightly south. The prevailing air currents are In that direction, blow ing down from the Black Hills. : When this fact is considered, the advantages of the site chosen- for the take-off are obvious. It lies at the eastern extremity of the Black Hills. Once It lifts over the sur rounding foothills of the "cup," the balloon, drifting east, will be In no danger from high peaks or hills. It wui nave before it tne rolling plains oi south Dakota.

The Capital Journal is welcomed with open door at nearly ten thousand homes in Marion and Polk counties. Over thirty thousand readers want the Capital Journal enough to pay for it hence, we would say, it is the best advertising medium, by far, .in the Willamette valley. Some merchants, the past few years, in their frantic ef forts to reduce selling costs have purchased advertising in mediums at less cost per inch than they would hav .. paid in the Capital Journal BUT, they have found that they were also getting less for what they paid. THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTION FOR GENUINESS that is why the Capital Journal carries more advertising than all other paid me 'diums in Salem combined.
