Kuny The twin son and daughter born Sunday morning in Decatur and Macon County hospital to Mr. and Mrs. O. F. Kuny, have been named Edwin F.
and Francis Elizabeth. Mrs. Kuny is the former Marjorie Landon. The Kunys have two other children. More than 2,500 race fans Sunday afternoon saw Lester Wright of Peoria establish a new record for the Macon county fair grounds track in an exciting program of automobile races.
A record of 28 minutes, 19 and one-fifth seconds for 25 miles was hung up by Wright in the first American Automobile association racing program given on the tur track. Wright, driving a Decatur entry, Frontenac sponsored by Loeb Brothers, set a grueling pace for a field of stiff competition which included an A. A. A. driver fresh from "big time" tracks.
Wright Pushed Hard The A. A. driver, Jack Wohlfield of Detroit, driving an Apex special, the prettiest racing mount seen locally in years, pushed Wright hard. The two, running almost neck and neck in three of the afternoon's events, furnished thrills a-plenty for the crowd. W.
H. (Cotton) Bunker, wellknown Decatur driver, drove against jinx all afternoon, but in spite of motor trouble, took third place in a 15-mile race and second in a 10-mile event. Bunker's jinx transferred its attention to the phenomenal Wright in the 10-mile race. With first place in his grasp, Wright's car went out with motor trouble in the 18th lap. Wohlfield of Detroit, trailing Wright, seized the advantage and came in first, after Bunker had burned up the track in an effort to beat him.
Car Temperamental Bunker's car proved temperamental at starting time. At the beginning of the 10-mile race, the gasoline line sprang a leak. Loren Hodge of Decatur, referee, disqualified the car until the leak had been fixed. Bunker's mechanics repaired it in record time. "Cotton" got into the race late, yet copped second place.
O. D. Zook of Springfield took third place in the event despite two stops at the pits for tire replacements. Not a single accident marred the races. Car after car went out in the main event, due to the meteorlike pace set by Wright and Wohlfield, but there were no spills.
Mishaps were confined to tire blowouts and motor trouble which fortunately did not spill any of the (Continued on page 8) 14 St. Johannes Pupils to Receive Diplomas Fourteen members of the eighth grade class in St. Johannes Lutheran parochial school will be graduated Tuesday evening, in exercises at 7:30 o'clock.

Robinson of Chicago Is Millikin Baccalaureate Speaker MUST SACRIFICE "You are going out into a world of depression such as no other university class has had to face in many years," said Dr.
George L. Robinson of the Presbyterian Theological seminary in Chicago, preaching the baccalaureate sermon Sunday morning for Millikin university graduates. "You will find the ability to pray as great an aid in meeting these problems and difficulties, as anything else you can try." His subject was "Lord, Teach us to Pray," and his text was the Lord's Prayer. The baccalaureate sermon was preached in Westminster Presbyterian church, with members of the senior class and of the faculty seat- Millikin Calendar 9:15 cement meeting of board of trustees, president's office. exercises in university auditorium; address by Chancellor Ernest H.

Papperman of Westminster gave the invocation, and Rev. E. W. Clippinger of First Presbyterian church offered prayer. Miss Wilna Moffett was at the organ, and the offerotry solo was given by Mrs.

Robinson quoted the Lord's Prayer in various versions, including the Roman Catholic and the one from Bunyan's Progress," and then it sentence by sentence. Need Prayer "You, more than any other class that has gone before you in Millikin's history, and more than most classes in other years, need to pray," he told class. "You need it because of the peculiar conditions in which this country and the world now find themselves, and because of the tempo of modern life in general. I doubt if many of you really know how to pray. "You will find as you grow older that you need prayer in your daily life, as well as to help you through special difficulties.
You will learn to pray with a thankful heart, ing thanks for your blessings, rather than to ask for favors. Must Make Sacrifices "You will learn to make sacrifices. Perhaps you will learn to make them a little sooner than the average class, because of these same economic conditions. Make them gracefully. Remember that your parents made sacrifices for you in order that you might have this education.
Sacrifice is not new in the world today. It is merely part of the life of all of us. "Americans, more than any people of Europe, are concerned with luxuries rather than with necessities. Put your mind upon the simple things of life occasionally, and you will find them good." True Students Looks in Future, U. of I.
Class Told (Special to The Herald) CHAMPAIGN-URBANA, June 15 The true student is a confident and courageous man of vision and faith, the Rev. John Timothy Stone, pastor of the Fourth Presbyterian church, Chicago, told the graduating class of the University of Illinois at baccalaureate services day. "The villains of fiction and life snatch away the crowns of heroes, nor erase the halos of saints," he said. "The confidence of a true student sees beyond the present. His vision, faith, courage, poise, and confidence correct him in error; humble him in success: sustain him in defeat, and determine and define for him life's true valuations.
