1 —Aviation —y MEXICAN PLANS GOOD WILL HOP TO U. Popular Flier Arranges to Reverse Lindy’s NonStop Feat. Bv ÜBA Service . MEXICO CITY, 'June B.—The proudest possession of Capt. Emilio Caranza is a pair of field glasses, given him at Velbuena flying field last summer by Col. Charles A. Lindbergh. Captain Carranza hopes to become the “Lindy of Mexico.” He is already the most famous and popular of Mexican aviators; and he seeks further laurels by attempting to reverse Lindy’s good will hop of last year and make a non-stop flight from Mexico City to Washington. His plane is a Ryan monoplane, similar to Lindbergh’s “Spirit of St. Louis.” Opposite to Lindy Except that he is a good flier and a thoroughly likable young man, Captain Carranza is as little like Lindbergh as any man could be. Where Lindbergh is reserved and shy, Carranza is effervescent and vivacious. Where Lindbergh has typical Nordic taciturnity, Carranza has typical Latin ebullience. Lindbergh got his aerial training in time of peace; Carranza got his in time of war. Captain Carranza was just 17 when he did his first flying. He was a cadet at the Mexican military academy when the de la Hureta revolt began. Carranza learned to fly a plane and took a prominent part in helping put down the rebellion. Then he returned to the academy to complete his studies. Rain Saves Plane A little over a year ago Captain Carranza made the first nonstop flight from Mexico City to the American border, landing at Juarez, s!exico. On this flight came an incident that shows his coolness and nerve. A wing of his plane caught fire. Captain Carranza, seeing heavy rain clouds just ahead, plunged into them and let nature put the fire out, continuing his trip in good shape. A little later he flew from Mexico City to Tia Juana, near the California line. This trip he performed in a plane so old and rickety that, after he landed, he admitted he was afraid to fly it again. It still lies where he left it, an unbelievably flimsy machine. Last winter Captain Carranza conceived the idea of making a good-will flight to the United States capital. A newspaper raised $25,000 for the purchase of a plane He is a nephew of the late President Carranza. Arranges for Race Fuel Bu Times Special TERRE HAUTE, Ind., June B.

Truss Expert Coming Wp wish to announce the visit of 1 lie Collings Truss F,Xpert at the New Colonial Hotel, Indianapolis, Ind. t Monday and Tuesday, .Tune tl and_yl2. Hours 9 to 12 a. in., 2 to 5 p. m. and 7 to 9 evenings. New Broad Back Truss UVe want to demonstrate Uj you absolutely without a penny in advance our new invention for holding difficult or aggravated cases of rupture whether of Inguinal or Fmbilical character. If you are ruptured you should be interested in our ability to fit you with a truss that will <lo its work properly and give yon the greatest ease anil eomfort possible. Scientific and Practical This new Collings Truss is based on the most scientific principles for holding a rupture. It is not only representative of mechanical perfection but contains that super power for holding a rupture witftout discomfort and that lhakes for a complete recovery where this is possible. Contains No Springs There are no springs or metal parts used in this new truss other than the small necessary buckles; instead it is made of high grade elastic web with soft, pliable cloth back made wider so as to distribute the pressure over a broader surface. Prevents all cutting and chnffing, and gives the necessary uplift to the pads. It Holds the Rupture It is easily, quickly and permanently adjusted so an even and uniform pressure ean be constantly maintained at any desired tension. The patented sectional pads are adaptable and will tit any of rupture. As healing progresses the pressure ean be lessened without a change of pads. It Stays Put When placed in position, the Truss stays put and does not skid or slide. Regardless of the position of the wearer’s body; stooping. Jumping or standing erect, the Truss remains firm and set. and adjusts itself as the oeettsion demands. Comfortable Day or Night To do its maximum amount of good, a truss should be wprn continuously day and night. Upon retiring many people remove their truss, with the result that the weakened muscular tissues relax' and oftentimes allow the rupture to assume the form of the original protrusion. This new Truss can he worn at all times. THE COLLINGS TRUSS EXPERT —Gives— FREE BEMONST RATIONS Monday and Tuesday, June 11 and 12 Every ruptured person should visit our Truss Expert and learn what gen' uin truss-comfort means.
