JAR BROS, WS NOW, WL MEET Few of Famous American Aces Are Engagerd in Aviation Today. BY the Associated Press. CHICAGO, February 18.—America’s | famous fighting falcons of the World | War have clipped their wings and settled down. - The heroes of American aviation to- | day are, with few exceptions, a younger | Post-war generation. So that, when the | Yeterans gather here next T:.:rsday for | the second annual American World War | aviators' reunion, their coming wili be ided by no drone of airplane motors | and flipflops in the sky. “Scarcely any of the well known war llots are ‘connected with aviation to- day,” saild Maj. Reed Landis, himself one of the famous war aces, with 10 enemy planes to his official credit. *Elliot White S{rfingx." he said, “Is ‘au- thorizing’ on his spacious estate down at Fort Mills, S. C. He has his own lane; both he and his wife fly; but he s in ‘no way connected with aviation. | He had 10 planes to his credit during the war. “Howard Knotts, who shot down seven, is now practicing law in Spring- fleld, TIl. “Eddie_Rickenbacker, I understand. | does little flying in connection with his | job as chief of the technical staff of the General Motors Co.’s aircraft interests. Lawrence Callaman is & broker here in Chicago. He has a ship and flies a little on occasions, as I myself do, but he’s | entirely out of the game.” ‘The reunion begins Thursday and will | end Saturday. It is sponsored by the Chicago Aviation Post of the American | Legion, which is one of three such posts in the country. The others are in Los | Angeles and New York | TURNING U. OF VA.

Worships No Supreme Deity in Its Religions. By the Associated Press. SHANGHAL February 18.—The Chinese people worship so many gods that it has taken Newton Hayes, noted theologist, many years to count them. completed the job. In a recent survey of Chinese reli- glons, published after 10 years of stud; Mr. Hayes quotes earlier cotempo- raries, who state that the Indian divin- ities_total 9, while the Greeks of ancient time had 30.000. The Chinese, he asserts, can exceed even these figures. Besides thousands of idols, Mr. Hayes has found that the Chinese worship horses, cows, snakes, while even some insects which feed on the human body have supernatural powers accorded to them by human beings living in Cathay. No Supreme Ruler. Mr. Hayes has also found that one can search in vain for a supreme creator and ruler of the universe. All other nations have a supreme deity, he points out, but China has none that occuples exactly the same place in her category of gods. “Ten years' study of the gods of the Chinese Jleads us to feel that it is safe to say that there are probably even more recognized deities in the Chinese pantheon than in those of any other race,” he declares, “There are more fmages in this coun- v than are found in the temples and homes of any other land. Indeed, the number of gods is so great that De Groot not only characterizes it as ‘in- finite.” but almost in desperation resorts to hyperbole, declaring that in the creation of new gods for their ‘unlimited | polytheism,’ the Chinese are bounded by | nothing but the circumstance that even “FLOWERS"— The “Hall Refinement Taste in We make it possible to obtain the finest Specimen Blooms at far under the Mar- ket price on our “Cash & Carry” Plan.
