Fifteen hundred pupils had regis- tered at Central ‘High School, but when the building opened Miss Alice Deal, the principal, found about 200 more waiting. Many were without admission cards and last year's school nd Miss Deal was forced to 'S ate each record indlvidually, thus delaying enrollment. Classes Overcrowded. Walter B. Patterson, director of special schools, received reports that the summer classes at the il V. Brown, the Henry D.

In so doing, it was sald, he will be running a risk which few of the aeronauts care to take. Without the net covering it is a most impossible to olimb out onto the side of the bag to make repairs and, in case a landing is desired, it is impossible to reach the top of the bag to pull tho rip panel which starts it to earth in parachute form. There only is one way to make a forced landing with the net gone, it wag sald, and in so doing the bag will drop to the earth hard enough to_cause injury. Pilot Upson, however, will have an advantage in that his balloon will bo several hundred pounds lighter than the other craft. The net cover- ing weighs close to 400 pounds, it waa said. Several balloons are scheduled to compete in the race. The first will be' set free at 4 o'clock in the after- noon and the others at short inter- vals thereafter.

LONACONING, Md., July 2.—The clerkship of the town of Lonaconing has been a matter of controversy, and | Charles Z.

While the council was still in session Hugh Scott, the retiring clerk, was asked why he did not put in an application.
