MINEOLA, N. Y., Oct. 18.— Lieu
tenant Maynard, the famous “sky
pilot,” won the transcontinental air
race today when he arrived here at
1:60 p. m. He had already won the
first leg of the race, reaching San
Francisco ahead of a large field of
contestants last week.
A great crowd greeted the preach
er-aviator when his plane appeared
over the field and spiraled to the
ground.
Mrs. Maynard and the two chil-
dren waited at the edge of the group
around the landing field. As the
plane came to earth the Maynards
rushed toward it. Each child car-
ried a big red apple for “daddy.”

“ If I should get out of this prison

Plan Racing for
Public Benefit
(By the United Press)
NEW YORK.— Canada is consid-
ering a plan to make horse racing,
which is conducted on a high plane
there, work to the benefit of the gen-
eral public.
The plan advanced is to lim it the
returns of prom oters' to a fair per-
centage of profit on their investment
and devote the remainder of the re
ceipts of the m eetings to a good roads
fund.
Among the owners favoring the
plan is Commander J. K. L. Ross,
owner of Sir Barton and Billy Kelly
and one of the most prominent fig
ures in Canadian and United States
racing circles.

such an edict.
“No more kissing with the advent
