, —Aviation— WINDS DELAY HASSELL’S HOP TO GREENLAND Takeoff at Rockford, 111., Set for ThursdayMorning. By United Press ROCKFORD, 111., July 25.—The take-off of the monoplane Greater Rockford on its flight to Stockholm, Sweden, scheduled for 5 o’clock this morning, was postponed today. Bert Hassell, pilot of the blue and yelllow Stinson-Detroiter, announced he had received word that head winds in Canada would make the take-off unfeasible today. The plane will leave at dawn on Thursday, weather permiting, Hassell said. A small crowd of Rockford people had foregone sleep last night to see the scheduled start. Word was received yesterday that the landing field at Mt. Evans, Greenland, only scheduled stop between here and Stockholm, was in condition. All equipment, including a short-wave ardio transmitter, were tested and in order. Hassell, accompanied by Parker D. Cramer, former Government aviation inspector, as navigator, plans to fly over the barren wastes of northern Canada to avoid long water jumps. The plane will be routed to Madison, Wis., after its take-off to avoid flying over Lake Michigan under a heavy load. The fliers will follow the Soo Line to Saulte Ste. Marie, Mich., where they will leave the United States. They propose to leave the continent at Cape Sidney, 1,500 miles from the start, and cross 5 miles of water to Greenland. If a take-off from the runway at Jit. Evans is impossible under a load, a second stop may be made for refueling at Reykjavik, Iceland, it was laid. Byrd Plane in Mexico Capt. G. E. Haynes of the Fokker Aircraft Corporation is in Mexico City with one of the airplanes chosen by Commander R. E. Byrd for his use on his forthcoming Antarctic expedition. It is a typical super “universal” with a capacity of four passengers and a crew of two. This type of plane is noted for its quick takeoff, slow landing, and great maneuverability. Captain Haynes is on a 10,000-mile demonstration flight and upon his return to Teterboro Airport the plane, will be flown to Commander Byrd’s headquarters. AMUSEMENTS

—Aviation— FRENCH OCEAN PLANE ORDERED BACKTOJIREST Cancel Atlantic Attempt When Motor Stops Hop in Azorefc. By United Press PARIS, July 25.—The ambitious French program for a westward crossing of the Atlantic, backed by the Ministry of the Marine, has been cancelled, at least for the moment, by disaster and mechanical difficulties. Several months ago France announced two seaplanes, bi-pianes of anew construction, would make a crossing between Brest and the United States with the Azores as the first stop. Commandant Rene Guilbaud was chosen as pilot of one of the seaplanes and Lieut. Paulin Louis Jerome Paris was chosen as the pilot of the second. Guilbaud Lost Then came the Italia disaster In the Arctic. Nations rushed aid to the Italians of that expedition. France contributed two war vessels and sent Commandant Rene Guilbaud north. Guilbaud flew away from Tromsoe, Norway, June 18, with Roald Amundsen and four aids. Since then Guilbaud and his party have not been heard from. Sunday Lieutenant Paris and two aids started on the trans-Atlantic flight. Their venture even was greater than that planned by the ministry at first. They would make the flight to the United States in relays to the Azores, Bermuda and thence the United States and then make a non-stop return flight—giving France credit for the first round trip flight across the Atlantic. Cancel Flight The white seaplane La Fregate left Brest Sunday evening and a little more than fourteen hours later put down in the port of Horta. It developed that the forward motor of the twin-motored craft had gone dead 200 kilometers off Horta and the flight had been completed with one motor. Paris hoped to make repairs on his craft immediately and proceed to the United States. There was a possibility, he advised the ministry, that he might have to await anew engine from France, then as it became apparent his craft could not be repaired the ministry of the marine canceled the flight and ordered the La Fregate returned to Brest for repairs. Refuels Plane Here Pilot O. L. Crabill with Miss Dorothy Buggs, of Huntington, Ind., as passenger, flying an Alexander Eaglerock bi-plane, stopped for fuel at Indianapolis Airport Tuesday en route to Evansville on a business trip.

Delivery of the first three is scheduled for October and the remaining three in November. Travel Air Sells 18 Sales of eighteen Travel Air biplanes since July 1, of which eight were sold in the last two weeks, were reported today by Bob Shank, president of Hoosier airport, distributors of the Travel Air In several States.

Such amazing results have been obtained from the use of this celebrated compound by the people of Indianapolis and surrounding cities that it has long since been acclaimed the most effective medicine of its kind, Thousariuo ox men and women In all walks of life, including nurses, Dublic officials, ministers and business men, have indorsed Konjola, but to the people of Indianapolis territory, and especially the radio fans, there is probably no one better known than Mr. Herman Hall, living at 12 E. Minnesota St., this city, “Konjola completely ended the neuritis pains I had in my arms and shoulders,” said Mr. Hall. “A little more than six months ago. I suffered dreadfully from these terrific pains and it was often impossible for me to play my banjo. This was really a handicap and I realized the necessity of a good medicine to drive these aches and pains out of my system. I -had heard so much about Konjola that I decided to give this medicine a trial. In a week’s time I noticed an improvement and by the end of the third week every ache and pain had gone and my whole system was invigorated with anew feeling of life energy. That was six months ago and none of the pain ever returned, so I feel -sure Konjola has given* me lasting relief. “This medicine certainly proved its worth in my case and I strongly indorse it to others.” The Konjola man is at Hook’s drug store, Illino’s and Washington Sts., Indianapolis, where he is daily meeting the public and introducing and explaining the merits of this remedy. Konjola is sold in every Hook drug store in this section and by all the leading druggists throughout this vicinity.—Advertisement.
