Aviation SPEEDY PLANES LINING UP FOR CONTINENT HOP Four Classes in National Air Races; First Ones Off Wednesday. By Times Special NEW YORK, Sept. 4.—One of the greatest concentrations of commercial airplanes ever assembled on the East coast was gathering at Roosevelt Field today to participate in the four classes of the national air races that will leave for Los Angeles Wednesday, Thursday and Sept. 12. in division, two of which are classified solely by cubic inch displacement of the motors used on the flights. The exceptions are the non-stop and Class C races, open to all types of engines and planes. Hangar facilities of Roosevelt, Curtiss and Mitchel Fields are taxed to capacity to provide protection and service for the huge array of planes being prepared for the 3,000-mile flights across the continent. Large quantities of oil and fuel have been provided at the field to assure all pilots that there will be no unnecessary delay in getting away. Experts Service Motors The Pioneer Instrument Company is keeping a corps of experts at the field to calibrate and orient navigational equipment for the entrants and engine manufacurers are providing mechanics for servicing the motors before the takeoffs. More than 75 planes will leave in three days to compete for the prizes totaling nearly $60,000, according to Stephen D. Day, chairman of the starting committee. Eight of the planes, guided by nationally known pilots, including Col. Arthur Goebel, Olivier C. Le Bou_r tillier, and William Thav; 11, are entered in the non-stop race starting Sept. 12, between 9 a. m. and 5 p. m., at the option of the entrants. The remainder will leave the same airport in three divisions, the first taking off at 5 a. m. Wednesday, for a flight punctuated by sixteen thirty-minute stops, including five overnight relays. Nearly half the planes entered qualify for this class. The Class B division will take off at 5 a. m. Thursday to compete for $16,000 in prizes. Every plane, except two, is powered by Wright "Whirlwind” motors, which qualify for admission by merit of this low cubic-inch displacement in proportion to the horsepower developed. Three Classes of Planes Single, bi-and tri-motored planes are eligible for competition in Class C, a division designed to provide prizes for aircraft developing the highest speed and efficiency over a 3,000-mile flight. Planes of the same type are admitted to the non-stop class, although this division is said to be more of a test for speed and pilots’ skill. Consequently, the seven entrants are using single-motored craft, five powered by Wright, engines, one by a "Hornet,” and one by a “Wasp.” Pilots in Classes A. B and C are scheduled to make the same stops for fuel and rest during the transcontinental flight, according to Day. Following is a list of cities where stops will be made after leaving Roosevelt Field. . Harrisburg, Pa.. McKeesport, Pa., Columbus, Ohio (overnight), Terre Haute, St. Louis, Kansas City (overnight), Wichita, Oklahoma City, Ft. Worth (overnight), Abilene, Texas; Pecos, Texas; Pacos. Texas; El Paso.

Helium is shipped in the special railroad tank car shown above and the smaller drums piled along the tracks. One of the big military dirigibles is shown “coming up for a drink.”

Move Plant to Amarillo When Ft. Worth Supply Gives Out. BY RODNEY DUTCHER NEA Service Writer WASHINGTON, Sept. 4. The American helium center remains in Texas, but it has been removed from Ft. Wowth to Amarilo. The Government’s new helium production plant is now being constructed just outside Amarillo and will soon be completed. The plant side covers more than eighteen acres. Here the helium will be separated from the natural helium-bearing gas piped down from the Amarillo company to be used in the lighter than air ships of the Army and Navy, all of which arfe now lifted by helium. Exhausted One Supply Helium, it may be well to recall, is one of those rare inert gases which do not burn. It has no affinity with anything else and though some chemists believe they have

Former Hoosier Killed By Times Special EVANSVILE, Ind., Sept. 4. James B. Duncan of this city, has received word that his son, Clyde Duncan, 40, formerly of this city, was killed when he fell from an airplane to Casper, Wyo. He was a balloonist and stunt flier. Burial will be made at Oakland City. Fliers Forced Down Bn United Press BERLIN, Sept. 4.—Johann Risticz and Hans Zimmerman, German aviators who started on a flight to China, have been forced down in Moscow, it was learned today. The two, piloting the same Junkers plane in which they recently established a sustained flight record of 65 hours, encountered bad weather Sunday afternoon and landed. War Planes Hop Off Bv United Press AUGUSTA, Ga., Sept. 4.—The group of war planes en route from Langley field to the Pacific coast left here at 7:10 a. m. today. Officials at the Augusta airport said the fliers hoped to stop at Maxwell field, Alabama, for lunch, but if weather conditions die', not improve, they might land at Macon, Ga. It was cloudy and drizzly here. Levine Gives Up Hop Bn United, Press PARIS, Sept. 4.—Charles A. Levine has given up the idea of flying across the Atlantic just now and will return home prosaically by boat. He flew to Cherbourg today in his Junkers plane, piloted by Bert Acosta, and planned to board the Leviathan for New York. Acosta will return to Le Bourget Field to start a trans-Atlantic flight. Dirigible on Test Run WASHINGTON. Sept. 4. The dirigible Los Angeles left Lakehurst at 8:37 a. m. today on a training flight, according to word to the Navy department. The itinerary was not received here. Long Flight Planned SYDNEY, N. S. W., Sept. 4.—Capt. Frank Hurley will attempt a flight from Australia to England and return, it was announced today. Hurley said $75,000 had been subscribed by citizens for his expenses. He will use a Ryan monoplane similar to

made it combine with other things —such as platinum and bismuth— Government scientists will not be convinced until after further investigation. Helium has only 92 per cent of the lifting power of hydrogen, but the Government long ago decided that this sacrifice in lifting power was more than compensated by the fact that hydrogen was dangerously inflammable. The helium plant at Ft. Worth is being abandoned only because the old Petrolia pool a hundred miles away, which has heretofore supplied it with helium, has begun to peter out. The pool was seven years old when the Government first began to take helium from it. Started Project in 1917 The Government helium project was begun ?n 1917 and two plants were opened in Ft. Worth, with a pipe-line carrying the gas all the way. The new structures at Amarillo wi" be substantial and adapted for future expansion at lowest possible cost, according to the Bureau of Mines. The more important parts of the equipment will be housed in steel framed buildings.

Thirsty! x * * # Drink Concession Men Do Big Business at State Fair.

Three thousand thirsts quenched every day! That’s the average output of one refreshment stand at the Indiana State Fair. Other concessionaires report that from 7,000 to 4,000 drinks are passed over their respective counters du 'ng fair week. A root beer ,’stablishment claims to have served more than 5,000 mugs during the heaviest day last year. A rainy or a chilly day is tough on the liquid concessions, but it's good news for the hot dog venders, who rely on a little cold weather . as the difference between average and big business. Taffy stands enjoy enormous patronage in all kinds of weather as long as there is a crowd on the grounds. Fifty thousand hard taffy barsindicate a good day’s sale, according to one confectioner. That the taffy business yields a big profit was suggested by another refreshment proprietor who Added that he figured a return of sl2 to sls on every thirty pounds of ingredients.

FATHER HOPES FLIER ALIVE IN BRAZIUUNGLE Paul Redfern Missing Year, Carried Supplies for Forced Landing. By United Prt ss ATLANTA, Ga., Sept. 4.—A young American with heavy black beard and mottled hair is alive in the jungles of tropical South America, awaiting an opportunity to journey down some great river to civilization, his father believes one year after Paul Redfern left Brunswick, Ga. on a flight to Rio de Janeiro. It was a year ago last month that Redfern left a wide stretch of beach in a gold and silver monoplane and pointed the craft southward towards the Bahamas, and the continent of South America, way beyond. But for the crew of a freighter, the Kristian Krogh/no one has reported sight of the plane since. Redfern circled the Kristian Krogh, 510 miles off the Venezuela coast, some 24 hours after he sped away from Brunswick, and then disappeared southward. Dr. Frederick Redfern, president of a Negro Baptist College at Columbia, S. C., and his wife, now national Republican committee woman from the State, continue to hope their son is alive. They think there is ample reason to believe he lives in some fastness in the interior of Brazil or far up the reaches of the Orinoco in Venezuela or Colombia. Redfern cautiously left with full equipment for a forced landing in the jungles. No single item that a man might need in the tropical fastnesses was forgotten. He knew the prevalance of terrific electric storms in the region he must pass through on the way to Rio and took precautions for such a landing and for a six months’ sojourn in the wilderness alone. He had a parachute, and planned to leap overboard should his plane give out of gas. The equipment he needed was packed in a dunnage bag hooked to the parachute cords. There were such articles as tackle for catching fish in the tropical rivers, a combination shotgun and rifle

with ammunition to kill beasts ranging from rabbits to jaguars. There was a supply of cholocate, concentrated food, sufficient to last for weeks before Redfern would be forced to live off the land. There was a first aid kit, with all modern appliances in event he was injured in a plane crash. There was an ominous little bottle of poison. Medicine for all ills was in the plane. There was even lotion against mosquito bites and yards of mosquito netting. Heavy boots, made for hikes in the underbrush; a long scythe like knife for hacking one’s way out of the “monte” that abounds In the region; long hunting knives to skin animais with—these also were in the cockpit of the plane. The flier’s father recalls that the 24-year-old flier said just before stepping into the cockpit, “Remember, don’t worry and don’t give up hope.”
