WORLD AMEN CONSIDERING NEW FLIG£_ROUTES Fliers Baffled by Ice Floes Off Coast of Greenland, By United Press REYKJAVIK. Iceland. Aug. 11 Two new courses, both dangerous, lay before the American world liiers today. While tfce cruiser Raleigh sought a possible landing place on the east coast of Grenland and made observations to see if there appeared a chance of a break in the pack ice at Angmagsalik, those In charge of the flight considered two courses. The first was an attempt to fly to the west coast of Greenland, a longer and more perilous hop than the proposed one to Angmagsalik, . rendered doubly dangerous because of fogs. The alternative called for a landing in the sea off Cape Farewell and re-fueling there. In the doubtful shelter of a cruiser. Admiral Magruder was of opinion the long flight to the west coast offered the best chance of progress, with a landing at Frederickshaval or Julianshaab, Greenland. NEW BASES PICKED Non-Stop Flight of 780 Mile* to Cape Farewell Believed Plan. By United Prsss WASHINGTON. Aug. 11.—The Danish government has consented to establishment of emergency bases of the world flight near Cape Farewell, extreme southern tip of Greenland, and Lieut.

This was taken to mean the fliers have decided the quickest way of negotiating the Iceiand-Labrador hop is by way of Cape Farewell, with „a direct non-stop hop of 780 miles. Given good weather, there is no doubt the airmen can make it.

Pictured here is Lois Sturt, sister of Baron Alington of England. Despite her titled connections and her social prominence, a London judge fined her S4O, took her license away from her for three months and rebuked her severely. She was charged with speeding In her auto late at night. Londoners are comparing this treatment with that accorded Miss Abby Rockefeller, daughter of John D. Jr., in a New York police court. New York City officials are still investigating the circumstances /under which Miss Rockefeller,--heiress to millions, escaped punishment of any kind, even though she had been brought into court for the second time.

The old covered bridge over Fall Creek on Keystone Ave. soon will be no more. It is being torn down to give way to anew steel twospan bridge ordered by county commissioners. Long an obstacle in the path of traffic to and from sections northwest of the city, the old bridge couldn't be repaired any more. It was bolstered and revamped two years ago by County Engineer John J. Griffith, but soon was in a precarious condition. The bridge has been "out" since the middle of last spring and the county engineer's office said today the new one will be in place by sometime next fall. The picture shows workmen demolishing the ancient structure.
