PACIFIC AIRMEN PLAN TO EXTEND HOP AROUND WORLD

MAP VISIT TO CONTINENT AND BACKOVER SEA Crew of Southern Cross to Reveal Details in Australia. POISED FOR HOP TODAY Takeoff on Last Leg of Span to Isle Delayed by Fueling Ship. BY H. R. EKINS United Press Staff Correspondent (Copyright, 1928, by the United Press) HONOLULU, June 7.—The present flight of the airplane Southern Cross, from the United States to Australia, may be merely the first part of an around the world flight. Before leaving the Hawaiian Islands Capt. Charles JCingsfordSmith, chief pilot of the Southern Cross, revealed tentative plans for a continuation of his present flight back to the United States. It is expected here that the formal plans will be announced when the Southern Cross arrives in Australia. The United Press has learned that Kingsford-Smith plans the following route in circumnavigating the globe: Australia to the Dutch East Indies; thence to Calcutta, Karachi, Persia and thence to England. The Southern Cross would make a tour of Europe and then go to Seville, Spain. From Spain the plane would be flown to Senegal, Africa, and thence across the South Atlantic to Pernambuco, Brazil. From there the flight would be to Ric De Janeiro and thence down to Buenos Aires. From Buenos Aires the trail leads across the Andes and up the west coast of South America to Central America, following the same route used by the French airmen, Costes and Le Brix. The tentative route calls for a flight from Central America to Mexico City, and through interior Mexico to the United States. Thus far Kingsford-Smith has not outlined where the around-the-world flight would terminate in the United States, although it is possible he might desire to return to Oakland, Cal., from which point he started on the present flight to Australia. ✓ Plan Takeoff Tonight By l nitcd Press SUVA, Fiji Islands, June 8 (Friday.)—Delayed overnight by the tedious task of fueling its gasoline tanks, the monoplane Southern Cross waited on the -sands of Naselai Beach today ready to depart i for Brisbane, Australia. Capt. Charles Kingsford-Smith! and the three members of his crew j indicated they would attempt to get! away between 3 p. m. and 4 p. m. to- | day (7 p. m. and 8 p. m., Thursday, Pacific coast standard time.) A great crowd was gathered at the beach to watch the departure, and Captain Kingsford-Smith and his companions were keenly disappointed at the delay. Difficulties have been encountered Sn fueling the craft, which has been flown to the sands of Naselai Beach where there is a long runway. The government tender had difficulty in carrying fuel through the shallow water leading up to the beach and although Captain Kings-ford-Smith had intended leaving at 3 p. m., he could not get his machine fueled before dark. Ulm, Kingsford-Smith and the two American members of the crew, Capt. Harry Lyon and James Warner, all are at the beach with the plane.

Thumb sucking does look sweet in a baby, but it is disgustlhg in the three-year-old and sometimes ic hangs on until fifteen or sixteen! The habit may cause an ill-formed mouth-or Induce adenoids; and it always interferes with digestion. Pinning the sleeve over the hand; attaching mittens, or putting on cardboard cuffs, which prevent bending the arms at the elbows, are some of the ways to stop the habit. Another bad habit—irregularity in bowel action—is responsible for weak bowels and constipation in babies. Give the tiny bowels an opportunity to act at regular periods each day. If they don’t act at first, a little Fletcher’s Castoria will soon regulate them. Every mother should keep a bottle of it handy to use in case of colic, cholera, diarrhea, gas on stomach and bowels, constipation, loss of sleep, or when baby is cross and feverish. Its gentle influence over baby’s system enables him to get full nourishment from his food, helps him gain, strengthens his bowels. Castoria is purely vegetable and harmless—the recipe is on the wrapper. Physicians have prescribed it for over 30 years. With' each package, you get a valuable book or. Motherhood. Look for Chas. H. Fletcher's signature on the wrapper so you’ll get the genuine.—Advertisement.

STEWART CASE REOPENS TODAY Hear Closing Arguments on Contempt Charges. By United Press . WASHINGTON, June 7.—The Government planned to reopen its Senate contempt case against Robert W. Stewart today to produce evidence that a quaroum of eight Senators attended the Teapot Dome committee session last February, at which the Indiana Standard OiJ chairman refused to answer questions. Ingram Mack, committee clerk, was to clear up this point, which brought on a three-hour argument before Justice Siddons Wednesday when the defense lawyers asserted that the committee’s meeting was not legal because only three members were present. The Senate rules require one-third of the committee —five Senators in this case—to constitute a quorum. Stewart and other defense witnesses have testified that only three were present when he refused to answer. Closing arguments may be completed today, but it is likely that Justice Siddons’ charge to the jury and the verdict may not come until Friday or Monday.

DIVORCE RATE IN STATE FOR 1927 SLUMPS Early Tabulation Indicates Total Will Be Less Than 7,000. Probability that Indiana may have a decreased/ divorce rate for 1927 in comparison with the 1926 figures was indicated today, when Charles Kettleborough, director of the Legislative Reference Bureau tabulated returns from seventy-six of the ninety-two Indiana counties. Total for the seventy-six counties is 5,115, with Marion, Vigo, Allen and Howard among the counties still out. . The 1926 divorce total for the ninety-two counties was 7.685; the 1925, 7,563, and the 1924, 7,212. The Marion County report is expected to swell the total considerably but by computing an average of seventy divorces per county for the remaining fifteen counties it is expected that the total will fall below 7,000. On the same basis the nuhiber of marriage licenses issued during 1927 will fall below the 40,409 for 1926. The total for the seventy-six counties already tabulated is 31,825 licenses. Indiana has ranked high in the divorce statistics of the nation in proportion to its population, according to reports compiled by the Federal Government. In 1926 there were 180,853 divorces in the United States. This gives a percentage of 1.54 per 1,000 of the total population of 117,136,000 and of 3.78 per cent per 1,000 of the married population of 47,87.7000. Indiana's population according to the Federal Government is 3.124,000. The divorce percentage per 1,000 of total population is 2.46; and of the? 1,401,000 married persons a percentage of 5.49. Statistics show that infidelity is the cause of 35 per cent of all divorces in the United States with desertion following closely with 31.8 per cent. However, this State also ranks high in the percentage of marriages. There were 36,828 marriage licenses issued in Indiana in 1925, and 36,308 issued in 1924. Tabulations show that of 12.94 per cent of the 2,219.000 inhabitants of the State who are 15 years or over and therefore, according to the statistical bureau, of marriageable age, 18.21 per cent a thousand, are married.
