U.S. WILL TEST OCEANAIRPQRT Floating ‘Field’ Will Be Anchored in Atlantic. Bu United Press WASHINGTON, July I.—Moved by recent record-breaking oceanic flights by American airmen, the Government will shortly undertake extensive tests in the Atlantic Ocean with a floating airdrome, the United Press learned today. The tests will be held in cooperation with engineers of the Dupont works at Wilmington, Del. Work on the ocean airport has been going on for three years and it is expected to be ready for anchorage in about two months. The device is 400 feet square. A House member, influential in naval affairs, predicted the Government will build one 1,200 feet long and 800 feet wide if the tests prove successful. Dupont engineers have asked the Navy to place two mine sweepers at their disposal to haul the seadrome 500 miles out into the Atlantic for the tests. When anchored it will float ninety feet below the water and sixty feet above. It is planned to put the seadrome through a vigorous six-month test period. Navy airmen nay test its landing possibilities. Success in this new venture will increase the chances of airplane passenger service across the Ailantic. The largest shoes in the United States army are those worn by a six-foot seven-inch soldier at Ft. Sheridan. They are size 12-EE.

Snap! And all four of the ladies ! shown today are eligible for two j theater tickets each on identifying themselves to the WHOOZIT editor at the Times. Only one picture has gone unidentified since the WHOOZIT contest started. That’s a record to be proud of. Each day the WHOOZIT editor gives free theater tickets to the lucky persons whose pictures are taken by the Times photographer if identification is made. Today’s pictures are worth tickets for “Icebound,” in which McKay Morris and Ann Davis are being starred at the Stuart Walker company at Keith's, cr: For those who would rather see Colleen Mocwe in “Naughty but, Nice” and hear Vincent Lopez and his Casa Lopez orchestra at the Circle there are tickets too. Or. perhaps. “Smilin’ Through.” in which the Berlcell Puayers arc featuring Miss Jean Oliver this week at English’s interests you more. Worth watching isn’t it? And that brings to mind the fact that four men came in all believing that they might have been the man with the brief case who seemed to be walking along in deep thought. Felix F. Bryant. 410 K. of P. Building proved to be the winner. He will see the show at the Circle. Miss Margaret Rudbeck. 364 E. Morris St., said that seven people called to give her the glad tidings. “Let me go to see Ann Dav.is,” she said, “and take my picture again real soon.” J. C Matthews, 13-10 Shelby St., was the other man shown in the composite picture. He wore a straw hat when he came in tc see WHOOZIT—but the tie—the tie solved the mystery. There couldn't be a mistake. Watch for these pictures each day j—they may mean pleaure and a saving to you.

Parks Will Provide Free Guide Service for Visitors

Location of Scenic Spots, Native Formations to Be Pointed Out. Three Indiana State parks will provide free guide service tfc patrons this year, pointing out where grow the rarest flowers and shrubs, exact locations of the most beautiful cliffs and gorges, and discussing conservation work generally. These are McCormick’s Creek Canyon park in Owen County, near Spencer, Turkey Run Park in Parke County, near Marshal, and Cilfty Falls Park on the Ohio River, near Madison. It is expansion of a service adopted and tried first three years ago at McCormick’s Creek at the suggestion of C. G.

BRITISH FEAR RACE SUICIDE Birth Rate Below Death Level Last Quarter. Bu United Press LONDON, July I.—Birth control and economic depression have brought England's birth rate, which has been rapidly declining since the war, below the level of the death rate, and on the basis of current figures the race suicide that Theodore Roosevelt feared is in sight. For the third trnie since the institution of moaem registration methods in 1836, he figures for a threemonths period show an actual birth deficit. In the first three months of 1927, there were in England and Wales 167,126 births and 168,770 deaths. Male babies outnumbered females by 3,280, thus furnishing ground for hope that sometime the present surplus of 2,000.000 women may be overcome. The present size of che surplus is due to the world war, in which Great Britain lost 1,000,000 men. Economic depression is blamed for a decrease in the number of marriages. In the last three months of 1926, there were 142,224—a decrease of 25,260 compared with the preceding period. A bill- introduced into the New Hampshire legislature would have required one of each twenty-seven beds in hotels to be seven feet in length.

ber, all species of flora, and in geological formations found in these reservations may obtain first hand knowledge of most interesting subjects through contact with guides that are thoroughly familiar with botanical, geologic&l. entomological and forestry conditions. Miss Luci Pitzschler will serve at Clifty Falls Park; Brandt Steele at McCormick’s Creek, and Sydney Esten at Turkey Run. Each park typifies a distinctive and outstanding form of native beauty and architecture. At Turkey Run one finds rare primitive trees; giants of their kind that have few equals in the nation today. The great canyons there compare in miniature with those along the Colorado, and are ever of interest and charm. McCormick’s Creek is noted for its profusion of flora, great canyons, bird and insect life, while Clifty Falls is a great reservation of Southern Indiana wild life.

EARL BECOMES CROWNS ENVOY Dominion Action Gives British Direct Relations. Btl United Press CAPETOWN. South Africa, July I.—Commencing today the Earl of Athlone ceased to act as the representative of the British Government to the Government of the Union of South Africa, and henceforth act exclusively‘as a representative of the King of England. s Thus South Africa became the first of the British dominions to put into effect the decisions of the recent Imperial Conference that gov-ernors-general should in the future be considered solely as direct representatives of the King, instead of as representatives of the King and of the British Government as well. The change was made effective by the act of the South African Government in accordance with an Imperial Conference decision, and it is expected that the governments of the other dominions will follow suit in the course of the present year. Henceforth the decisions of the British parliament instead of being commun Tated to the governments of the a, minions' through the gov-emors-general will be communicated direct from the British prime minister to the prime ministers of the dominions.

4 MILLION WAM VETERANS DROfl 0. S. insurancA Saturday Is Last Day forj Reinstatement or Conversion. By ALFRED P. RECK, United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, July I.—Approximately 4,000,000 World War Veterans will forfeit Government insurance having a final value of thirty-six billion dollars, Gen. Frank T. Hines, director of the United States Veterans Bureau, told the United Press. At midnight Saturday, July 2, the final time for conversion or reinstatement of war-time policies closes. General Hines 700.000 will remain active. MjH than 4.685,000 were entitled tojgfl tmue the Government insuraiiHUS Although it costs on an JH . less than sls to reinstate vert a SIO,OOO policy, cent of the veterans have inf® their intentions of continuinlHyf' insurance: > The most expensive twenty-year endowment for SIO,oH —costs a 30-year old veteran, but* $6.90 to reinstate and $398.90 a year* to continue.

General Hines is at. a loss to explain the failure of so many veterans to take advantage of the government Insurance. "It is the most inexpensive Insurance available and In case of permanent disability no premiums are collected,” he explained. “The government bears the cost of administration and the extra hazard of military and naval service. “No greater or more advantageous privilege was ever granted by any nation to its veteran population.”
