Thirty-five guests responded to clever invitations of a carnival nature on which the Psi lota crest was used as a stump, the hostesses being Mrs. Clara Rayl, Mrs. Merle Krick, Miss Helen Shioll and Miss Virginia Hite. To gain entrance to the carnival, the guests were forced to carry water to the elephants. They were then given tickets, with which they could gain admission to all the features and refreshments stands within. The hall was attractively decorated in sorority and carnival colors. Booths were arranged to form a midway. The different stands, which were marked by large and comic I, posters, contained hot coffee, chicken sandwiches, lettuce and brown bread sandwiches, leomade, eskimo pies, and crackerjack. In one corner of the hall, a fortune telling tent was cleverly arranged and each guest had her palm read by a I gypsy. Attention was called to the side show, when the “spieler" rang a large bell to announce the opening of the different acts, which consisted of a doll dance, modern movie, world’s greatest wire walker, and Apache dance. The concluding act was a melody of comical songs. A balloon man apepared in the crowd and presented each guest with a brilliantly colored balloon and large traffic whistles. Victorias and pianos together with whistles and noise makers of all kinds, kept up the carnival blare during the entire evening. The hostesses were assisted in the various . stands by Helena Rayl, Phyllis, Jane, I and Barbara Krick, Edwinna Shrull, and Virginia Dolch.

RUMOR REPORTS SIX MORE ITALIA FLIERS RESCUED ICONTINVED FHUH PAUN ONE) 'an Kongen, his dog sleigh driver. ’lhese two were rescued late yesterday by the Swedish airplane Uppland the giant plane sent to the north by the Swedish government — and the l innish airplane piloted by Captain Sarko. 1 here was no indication from these 'ast reports of the fate of Ludvig 'arming, noted northern explorer who had been with the Sora party. * aptain Sora, upon arrival here in the rescue planes, said he never had received a message that Captain H. Wiser Larsen and Lt. Luetzow-Holm tossed them. The message had warned the Sora group against advancing into the territory where the ice floes were breaking up. Sora said that continual shifting of the Viglieri encampment position was the only thing 'hat prevented his going to the ice floe. J hug far the men rescued include; 'dalberto* Mariano. h Hippo Zappi. Alfredo Viglieri. F- Behounek. fatale Ceccioni. Uluseppe Biagi. i 1 ellce Troiani, (.aptain Sora. k®jf Vart Dongen. Ihe Russian i ce cutter had proceed--2* to the rescue of the first seven Aviator Chukhnovsky whirled

over the north, in a reconnoitering flight. He saw two men on an ice floe off Foyn Island. Chukhnovsky circled overhead, indicating aid was near, then flew back to the Krassin with his radio sending out news of the discoveries. Twice again he attempted to reach the men and on the second attempt was forced Into a landing on a dangerous ice bed, where he and his four companions now wait for rescue. But Chukhnovsky had started the work. The Krassin was proceeding slowly towards its goal—making from four miles upwards a day as she blocked out ice pieces of the north. First the dull prow of the big ice 1 cutter forced away to the spot where the Mariano and Zappi group awaited. The ci aft could only approach , within 200 meters of the two and boards had to be laid, in pontoon ‘ fashion, across the dangerous ice so the two might be rescued. Botii were tremendously weak. Then the Krassin whipped forward. Finally the Viglieri encampment, . which General Nobile had established , after the Italia crashed May 25 was reached. The Krassin crew hopped over the side and went to the aid the five men, who threw their arms about the shipmen. Ceccioni had been injured. Otherwise the Vlllieri group was in good condition save for the hardships after the weeks of isloation. Enroute to the Viglieri encampment the Krassin had sighted a group of men on the ice floe, waving cveitedly. The Krassin did not stop but messaged she would return after the Viglieri group had been saved. The Russian ship broadcast the news and likewise broadcast the information she did nt know what party the two were from. The two planes, the Uppland and the Finnish plane, received word of the two men and immediately started in search yesterday morning. They leceived the position during the day and the pilots looking down over the desolate, frozen territory — saw two men waiving flags. A landing was made and Captain Sora and Van Dongen, the young Dutch dog team driver, were taken aboard after being lost for weeks as they started out after Mariano, Zappi and Finn Malmgreu — the explorer whose fate has not been learned definitely. Sora and Van Dongen had suffered the greatest of hardships—just as had all men who have been engaged in the Polar flight or the rescue efforts for the Polar fliers. Their food gave out days ago. They were famished. One by one they killed tjje dogs of their sleigh team until five of the nine had been used for food. Both men were well, however, when they were brought to Kink’s Bay, today by the airplanes but Captain Sora was far weaker than his companion. Meanwhile the Krassin steamed on. There are many men still lost in the Arctice and commanders of the ice breaker are determined that the Krassin will continue its relief work until it has established definitely that there are no more living servivers of the Italia disaster.

PLANE FALLS AT WABASH: 2 KILLED Wabash, Ind., July H.—(lNS)—Coroner Carl Steincman today opened his inquest here into the deaths of two men killed in a spectacular 1,000 foot airplane dive north of here late yesterday. Their deaths raised the Friday, the 13th total of airplane deaths to eleven. The local victims were: Charles Wendrlck, 28, formerly of Sidney, Ind., pilot. Lloyd Keister, 25, of North Manchester, Ind., auto salesman. The double tragedy was enacted on the William Custer farm, a short distance north of Wabash Milo Meredith who witnessed the crash said that it looked to him as though the pilot was making a bank to turn and never came out of It, the plane nose diving to the ground. So terrific was the impact that the nose of the airship was buried two feet in the ground, the two airmen were crushed almost beyond recognition Keister who was a Pontiac automobile salesman came here Doni North Manchester to sell Wendrick a car. After the two men completed their deal Wendrlck climbed into his small, red monocoupc and started the motor. “Why don’t you take me up with you?" asked Keister, little dreamng he was pronouncing his own death warrant. Although Keister weighed 225 pounds, Wendrick replied, “hop in." Meredith was driving slowly by and saw the two men take off in their plane. A few moments later he was horrified to see Hie plane plunge for a thousand feet to destruction. The funerals of both men probably will be held Sunday afternoon. Both men were married.
