—Aviation — NOVELTY WILL MARK FLIGHT TO STOCKHOLM Bert Hassell Will Start Dash in Big Monoplane Within Week. By Times Special ROCKFORD, 111., July 20—A new and in some respects an entirely different air flight from the United States to Europe will start in the next few days from this city. Bert R. J. Hassell, Rockford aviator, accompanied by Parker D. Cramer as co-pilot, will set out in the big Stinson-Detroit monoplane Greater Rockford for Stockholm, Sweden, flying by way of Greenland. Hassell’s plane is now having its final tuning up at the airport here, while he awaits word from Greenland that preparations there to receive him are complete. Will Stop in Greenland Hassell will stop at the Mount Evans observatory, established in Greenland by Professor W. H. Hobbs of the University of Michigan, to refuel before taking off again for Stockholm. The tital distance from Rockford to Stockholm is 4,283 miles. There are three interesting aspects of Hassell’s flight. First, so far as can be learned here, this is the first major aeronautical venture financed as a community project. The flight fund of about $25,000 was raised by popular subscription under the direction of a committee appointed by the Rockford Chamber of Commerce. Many Give Money Aid It is estimated that at least 20 per cent of the city’s population of 100,000 contributed to the project. Second, its backers say, the flight is the first demonstration of practical air-mindedness as applied to the problem of flying between America and Europe without reference to existing lines of transportation, being based entirely upon the peculiar needs and abilities of an airplane. Former trans-Atlantic flights, they say, were based upon steamship routes. '..i Third, in addition to its aeronautical value, the flight will endeavor to make an important and valuable contribution to science of another classification by co-operation with Professor Hobb’s expedition in meteorological observations. Will Study Air Conditions Installation of recording instruments on the plane will allow the expedition to obtain observations of atmospheric conditions over the icecap of Greenland. The selection of Stockholm as the objective of the flight originally was based on sentiment. Hassell is of Swedish parentage and 40 per cent of Rockford’s population is of Scandinavian origin. , Then investigation revealed the astonishingly practical features of this route, the backers say, and the project was accepted and supported by Rockford purely as a practical and progressive endeavor. Ask Lindy to Aid Bit Vniicd I'rcss ST. LOUIS, July 20.—C01. Charles A. Lindbergh will be asked to assist in the campaign for the proposed $2,000,000 bond issue for a municipal airport to be considered by voters in the primary election, Thursday, August 7. v Airway Service Extended Bn United Press KEY WEST, Fla., July *2o.—The Cuba air mail and passenger service, operated by the Pan-American Airways Company, has been extended to Santiago, Cuba, a distance of 525 miles.

Mile. Bastie had as a passenger Maurice Drouhin, who will pilot Cousinet’s Rainbow in the proposed trans-Atlantic flight. He gave Mile. Bastie her first lessons in flying. During the flight she used a Caudron plane with a 40-horse-power Salmson engine.

Cripple to Dare Sea in Air By United Press ' NEiV YORK, July 20.—A man with only one arm, $1 and no legs has brought his Jenny airplane to the shores of the Atlantic Ocean, from where he hopes to take off soon on a flight to Europe. Morris R. Dougherty is the flier’s name. He had a hard time getting here from New Martinsville (W. Va.), where the townsfolk have agreed to back his flight. The flight from West Virginia to Passaic, N. J. airport required eleven days. “Dinger,” as the pilot’s friends call him, was forced down several times en route. Thursday .while trying to make Roosevelt field from Pennsylvania Dougherty landed three times—once on Staten Island,* again on Long Island and finally in New Jersey, where he gave up. Dougherty, who lost both legs and his right arm in an automobile accident, operates the controls of his plane with his left arm and artificial feet.

—Aviation — HOOSIER TESTS AIRPLANE DOOR OPENINGTHEORY South Bend Mayor Moved by Lowenstein Case. By Times Special SOUTH BEND, Ind., July 20. This city which made its debut on Tuesday ds an air mail point, has an air-minded mayor—Chester R. Montgomery. Flying in the giant Stanolind plane, Mayor Montgomery made a test of a theory raised since the disappearance of Capt. Alfred Loewenstein, Belgian capitalist, from a plane, supposedly by falling out a door of the cabin. Wind pressure, according to some persons acquainted with aviation, would have prevented opening a door wide enough for a man to fall. Mayor Montgomery tried a door on the plane and was able to get it open only four inches. Nor was this the end of the mayor’s experiments. When the plane hit air pockets and dropped like a fast elevator, Montgomery remarked, while fellow passengers clung to seats; “Stand up, and you’ll get more of a kick out of these ‘jumps.’ ” War Hsro to Fly By Times Special MARION, Ind., July 20.—Capt. E. J. Sweeney of the Hoosier Airport, Indianapolis, World War aviator with seven German planes to his credit, will fly at dedication of the Marion airport within the next few weeks, Lieut. Paul Payne and Harold Barnes, local airport directors announce. Sweeney will fly a Curtiss Falcon. Hoosiers Buy -Planes Bjf Times Special K£)KOMO, Ind., July 20.—Three Waco planes have been sold to residents of Frankfort, Monticello and Attica by Clyde Shockley, distribu tor for the machines, in charge of Shockley field here. Ray Stair flew here from Mulberry with his 8-year-old son to obtain anew propellor for his plane. Open Air-Rail Line WASHINGTON, July 20.—A combination air and rail express which is to serve practically every country in Europe has been started by the Deutsche Lufthansa, leading European aviation company. The new service, which has been extended to all European members of the International Air Traffic Association, is called the “Fleiverkehr,” or “air-rail traffic,” a combination of “F. L.” for airplane, “E. I.” foi railroad and “Verkehr” for traffic. The Fleiverkehr utilizes all the advantages of both air-freight service and express-freight service by connecting all towns and cities in Germany in an international airfreight service. By this means it is possible to employ air-freight service on all long-distance lines and expressfreight service on all railroad lines. Delay Airport Action . Chamber of Commerce directors will meet soon to plan action to obtain the proposed enlarged airport, it was reported today. A meeting scheduled Thursday was postponed. Chamber of Commerce officials are enthusiastic over possibility of Indianapolis being a principal stop on the Transcontinental Air Transport plane-train route.

Options have been obtained by a real estate agent on 282 acres of land adjoining the present Indianapolis Airport, the National Guard landing field, under a plan for enlarging the air port to 474 acres. Test Plane Machine Gun Capt. H. Weir Cook, pilot, and Lieut. Matt G. Carpenter, Indianapolis airport manager, flew to Dayton, Ohio, today in a National Guard Curtiss O II biplane to test a front Browning machine gun. On their return they were to bring anew Curtiss 0-17 plane for the guard unit here. The plane has been through a complete performance test at Wright Field, Dayton, Ohio.
