MAYNARD STORY

<• I continental Racers
By Associated Press
- \\ nsiiiugton. Dec. IT.— Meutenn.it
. Belvin W. Maynard. the "living par
s son," in a formal statement that his
. recent statement concerning the ef
fects of alcoholic liuuors on aviators,'
" which was issued through the Anti
yaloon Beague. says it had been "jug
- I gled" until it had left a false impres- 1
; sion and had erroneously attributed ,
his remarks as applying to aviators
i participating in the trans-continental
|| reliability test.
His statement follows:
! "1 feel it is due to the memory of i
the wonderful men who gave their.
j lives in the cause of aviation de- !
, yelopment in the recent trans-eon- '
tinental air lave to clear up the lior- j
rible and miserable impression that 1
I ] lias gotten about through the jug- '
| gling of my statement to the Anti- j
[ Saloon Dengue with respect to the ef- j
feet of intoxicating lfiiuol- oil flyers
generally.
"My statement was made in good ]
faith to the Anti-Saloon Beague at
their earnest solicitation. ar\ they. I
robbing it of its opening paragraph j
and in giving it the misleading cap
tion. "Booze knocked out trans-conti
nental fliers," have, with the aid of |
. I the press, succeeded in doing me the
; j most serious injustice I have ever j
! undergone, and have done to the
l| trans-continental flyers of the race
I | and to the air service as a whole an |
i even more serious injustice.
i Thtf Wtr9 Pal>6
l i "Such statements that 'a large nuin
. her of the casualties in the race were
I caused b> flying with hang-overs and
being drunk.' are absolutely false and
I without foundation and were niant-
I ill luted to create a sensation. The
I very fact that 1 was fortunate, by in
tervention of good weather in my
favor, to he constantly a few miles
ahead of the rest of the filers, is
I • \ id- nee in itself that 1 could not
have based my opinion on the effect
of alcohol on flying from my obser
[ ration of livers in the race. Indeed.
several of those killed were total ab
l stainers.
\ "The juggling of my statement has
I transformed it into a lie against my
'.colleagues in the race, which impres
i sion 1 certainly won't allow to stand
i without an emphatic and complete
denial on my part. Let my statement
! be now clear and not twisted to meet
'the demands of those who hunger for
| scandal and sensation.
Sticks to Original Storr
"T said and I still say that many '
accidents in aviation are caused by
overuse of intoxicants. Aviation is a
game where a false move means dis
aster. and in any such vocation the
participant needs the full use of an
.active brain —not deadened and weak
ened by the effect of liquor.
"Such an affected brain and the cor- j
' responding reaction on the nervous,
system add an unnecessary fatal haz- ;
iai d t the already natural and neces- J
sal v hazard of Hying itself.
"The action of the publicity agents j
I f the Anti-Saloon League, or the J
! press, or whatever it was, in so jug-.
I : gling this true statement of fact to
meet the demands of sensation, ill
making it appear that my conclusions '
webo hosed entirely upon my observa- j
ijons during the race, has created this
' most false and unjust ' **pression of
which 1 am in no way party, and
j for which I am truly sorry.
"I onlv hope that this true state
ment of my ideas receives the same
{consideration and publicity that was
! afforded the false one."

TWO WOMEN, OF

THE NEW JURY
Counsel For the Defense Will
Base His Fight on In
sanity Plea
By Associated Press
'Los Angeles, Cal.. Dec. 17.
Eleven jurors, two of them women,
had been accepted tentatively when
Superior Court convened to-day in
the trial of Harry New, alleged son
of Senator Harry S. New, of Indiana,
charged with the murder of Miss
Freda Lesser, his sweetheart.
Lecompte Davis, leading counsel
for New, made it clear the defense
would be insanity. Thomas Leo
Woolwine, district attorney, who is
prosecuting the case, announced that
the state would not attempt to prove
New is an "intellectual giant." but
would maintain he was intelligent
enough to he held responsible for
his acts.
Many of his questions seemingly
were framed with the idea of ascer
taining whether the veniremen be
lieved a man of what lie termed
"dull mentally" should be punished
for a crime.

Sealdsweet oranges and grape
fruit are heavy with juice
The Iruc test of quality 111 eitrus fruits is the juice
content, indicated by the weight.
The soil of the citrus belt of Florida is ideal for the
production of juicy fruit and the climate gives just the
needed combination of sunshine and showers, througli
the long growing season.
Sealdsweet oranges and grapefruit come from
groves given watchful care by their owners and so
cultivated that the trees bear fruit of surpassing juici
ness, which is permitted to become fully ripe before
it is picked.
These splendid food-fruits can be bought at reason
able prices in almost every community. Your grocer
or fruit dealer can secure them from his wholesale
house and will supply you, if you insist on having
Sealdsweet oranges and grapefruit.
This is Hie third in a series of eight ad
vertisements, each emphasizing one of the
points of superiority of Sealdsweet oranges
and grapefruit—the fourth will appear in
this space one week from today.
To prepare grapefruit for eat- VJK I \\ H \
ing, first cut in half crosswise. If f A\
possible, use a sharp-pointed steel \\
Lnife. After halving the fruit, cut
out the core, removing any seeds.
Insert spoon between membrano
of rind and pulp, lifting the lat
tcr. Whenever sugar is scarce, use
a little salt to flavor grapefruit.
