From here the planes will fly to Wichita, Kan., where passengers will be transferred for a night train trip, resuming the air flight the next morning. The fliers were guests at the Columbia Club of Norman A. Perry. They were accompanied on their airport- tour by Clifford L. Harrod, Chamber of Commerce industrial commissioner; Paul H. Moore, avia- ! tion secretary, and Capt. H. Weir I Cook, regular army instrutor of the | 113th Observation Squadron, Indi- : ana National Guard.

Asa result, jazz music will be a feature at every “strand” this summer.

Fish on Trial ft tt u Resigned to Fate, Dead Perch Figure in Suit Contesting Law.

ON two cakes of ice, two poor fish will ride into municipal court Four this afternoon. They will lie there dead, heedless of the legal battle waged over and about them. Earl Cox and Frark Symmes, attorneys for the Willis and Booth fish companies, will argue a motion to quash an affidavit charging the Anns with selling yellow perch during the closed season. The State conservation department charges these companies had perch on sale in violation of the State law. The perch were seized, wrapped and placed in cold storage pending the trial. It will be the first appearance of the fish since their “capture” by State authorities. No effort has been made to get them out on bond and as far as known, they have not communicated with relatives. According to attorney's statements to Judge Paul C. Wetter, the fish were shipped into Indiana from another State. They will contend that the Legislature in passing the closed season law could not rule on fish involved in interstate traffic.

INFLUENCE OF HEALTH ON PROGRESS STUDIED By United Press WASHINGTON, June 29.—The history of health, and how health conditions influenced the progress of Americans for the last 300 years, is being studied for the first time this summer. The American Historical Association has commissioned Dr. Richard H. Shryock, research scholar appointed under the $50,000 memorial fund established in honor of Former United States Senator Albert J. Beveridge by his widow, to do this job. Historians often mention spectacular epidemics of strange medical practices, and medical men record the technical progress of their science, but none heretofore has made an attempt to relate the status of the nation's health with its social background. Dr. Shryock will work this summer among scholars of Washington and Philadelphia.
