ACROSS NATION IN 12 HOURS IS GOAL OF FLIER Atlanta Pilot Expects to Better Hawks’ Record Next Spring. BV FOSTER EATON. tTßlted Press Staff Correspondent ATLANTA Dec. 6. Some time next spring when the elements between Los Angeles and New York return to normalcy, Doug Davis, crack Atlanta pilot, expects to fly the distance in about twelve hours. The record, now held by Captain Frank Hawks, Is close to seventeen hours. But that fact apparently offers little obstacle to the man who recently clipped three hours from the record of seven hours thirty minutes for the trip from New York to Atlanta. He used a Travelair “mystery” ship—a bullet-like monoplane which looks like a bum:le-bee upside down, but which functions with unprecedented efficiency. Won 1929 Cup Davis won the cup for America’s most meritorious flier of 1929 in the game projectile-like craft at the Cleveland air races. He was in New York early in November and wanted to enter it in an air-race in Atlanta. So he took breakfast in Gotham and lunch in Georgia, actually flying the 800 miles in four hours and thirty minutes through rain and fog. The entire trip required five hours, with two stops of fifteen jninutes each for fuel. Davis believes his “Mystery” ship has greater possibilities than any similar craft extant, believes Its highly developed maneuever-ability and excessive speed would make it an invulnerable fighting unit in time of war. Fly Straight Up He told the United Press that shortly he expects to open its throttle somewhere in the vicinity of the grqund, point its nose “absolutely straight up,” and cut swiftly heavenward for one solid mile at -an angle of 180 degrees. Already he has climbed to 3,000 feet in that manner after a 250mile an hour start. Present equipment of the plane, he said, does not permit more altitude because of gas tank adjustment, which he expects to alter. The plane can take off at an angle greater than 45 degrees and hold it “all the way to the ceiling,” Davis said. “I believe it is unquestionably the fastest climbing plane ever built.”

ICE CREAM SODAS NOW AVAILABLE IN ROME Bring Fountain and Dispenser to Majetsic Hotel for Tourists. By United Press ROME, Dec. 6 Rome has acquired anew and genuine American soda fountain. While Americans at home might complain that there is nothing stronger available legally than a glass of soda, many of them complain here that there Is not a soda fountain. This complaint has been met by the installation of a regular Chicago-made outfit in the tearoom of the Majestic hotel. This innovation was the result of studies made by the hotel to meet American tastes. They also imported a regular American soda fountain dispenser who fills the glasses in the creamy American fashion. Sundaes, sodas and other ice cream concoctions have become the regular thing of the place.

Hogston Warns Smokers to Shun Christmas Trees

Fire Marshal Issues List of ‘Don’ts’ for Advent Holidays. Don’t smoke cigarets unless you have a two-foot holder and don’t get too near the Christmas tree candles while you are wearing Santa’s whiskers. Alfred Hogston, state fire marshal, has issued a series of don’ts for the Yuletide season to minimize fire hazards. His advice follows: "Avoid all decorations that are inflammable. This includes those used for Christmas trees, banquet halls, school rooms and other places where the public congregates, as well as for the home. “Instead of cotton batting, use mineral wool, which is noninflammable; use the noninflammable variety of artificial snow. If cotton is used in Santa Claus’ costume, or for costumes for Christmas plays, fireproof it. Fireproofing may be made from two pounds sulphate of ammonia, four pounds of cholride of ammonia and three gallons of water. Apoly this with a spray. “For colored lights, get the elec-

"In using home motion picture machines, be sure that the film is of slow-burning type, commonly called “noninflamable.” "Smokers should throw away cigar or cigaret before entering a store crowded with shoppers. One careless smoker may be the cause of a holocaust. "In case inflammable decorations are used despite warnings, neverattach them to electric cords, fixtures or bulbs. The big automobile fire in St. Louis about three years ago was caused by paper ornaments attached to electric fixtures. "Also, the approach of severe weather makes this a propitious time to remind every citizen of the dangers of overheating the furnaces; that kerosene is a dangerous substance with which to start fires; and that any and all dry cleaning in the home is likely to prove expensive economy.” One estimate has set the world’s ol production for 1929 at 1,467,000000 barrels.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

PLENTY OF NIGHTCAPS NEEDED FOR EVENING Fashion Decrees Abandonment of Silk Scarfs for Opera. Bu United Press PARIS, Dec. 6.—Nightcaps have come back, but they are solid, not liquid nightcaps. All of the smart Paris shops are showing various kinds of nightcaps to be worn from 8 p. m. to morning. There are nightcaps for the opera, to replace the silk scarfs worn In re - cent winters. The theater nightcaps are made of gold, silver or colored bangles, applied to silk net. Then for bed wear, the rest of the night, there are lace nightcaps, cut along lines of those grandmother used to wear. But while grandmother used cotton, these modern nightcaps are of silk and Venetian lace. STUDENTS ARE HONORED Twenty at Butler to Be Initiated Into Phi Kappa Phi.

CENTRALIZATION OF CITY AUTOS IS ADVANCED Council Committee Reports, Naming Means to Cut Car Expenses. Centralization of all city motor equipment was recommended by the city council sub-committee as a means of eliminating needless “highpriced automobiles.” The committee headed by John F. White urged that the incoming administration take some step to centralize motor equipment, eleminating some of the expensive cars now maintained by various departments. Councilmen have contended that the machines purchased by various departments could be reassigned daily instead of being used only when a certain official desired them, thereby reducing .the total number of machines, although the present efficiency would be maintained. Motorization of the street commissioner’s department by Street Commissioner Charles A. Grossart was commended by the committee. The Report in part: "The charge of excessive increased costs for gasoline the committee believes is unfounded, and is generally accounted for by additional pieces of equipment made necessary for street cleaning and street repair work some of which are heavy users of gasoline. “It does not appear that there is any warrant to the conclusion that purchases have been made in wholesale lots or outside the regular channels, except such as are involved In this investigation.”

IRISH SALOONS CLOSED 300 Bars Are Shut by Government; Owners Compensated. DUBLIN, Dec. 6. —Government officials, prohibitionists, and antiprohibitionists, as well, are watching the effect of the Ministry ci Justice’s latest action in closing 300 smaller saloons and compensating their owners for the closure. If the experiment works satisfactorily, it is likely to be considered a start toward the gradual introduction of prohibition in the Irish Free state, and the closing of 300 or more saloons annually will become a regular feature of the administrative work of the ministry of justice.
