ALTITUDE MARX IS CLAIMED BY CAPITOL PILOT Unofficial Height Record for Light Planes Set by M. C. Hack. Ascending to 18.200 feet above the city Sunday afternoon, M. C. Hack, Capitol airport instructor, today was claimant for the altitude record for light planes. Hack climbed in a Golden Eagle monoplane powered with a 90-horse power Le Blond motor, until his altimeter registered that height. The previous recond is believed to be 200 feet less. He will attempt negotiations with the National Aeronautical Association to go aloft again, with a sealed barograph, to make the mark official. Hack said. “The plane should go higher,” he declared. “I stopped because the oil line was leaking and the plane was climing very slow.” The plane is owned by the Jesse French Piano and Radio Company rs Newcastle. A crowd of more than 6 000 gathered at Capitol airport to watch the feat, which began at 3 and ended at 5:20 p. m. Prove Seville Air Base Hu I nitnl press SEVILLE, May 12.—The great advantages of Seville as an international airport—long ago theoretically recognized—now have been demonstrated practically. The Graf Zeppelin’s trip from Friedrichshafen to Seville and return, April 15-17, with an hour's stay in the Andalusian capital, during which time passengers got on and off, and mail was unloaded and loaded, proved the natural advantages of location and terrain. When the same dirigible makes its trip from Friedrichshafen to Pernambuco and Lakehurst by way of Seville, the city will be firmly established as a base for long flights. Sets New Air Record Hil f piled Press NEW YORK. May 12,-Frank Goldsborough. 19. was congratulated i by his Jackson Heights friends today | as the new holder of the junior transcontinental flying records. He arrived at the New York City airport at Flushing Sunday afternoon to complete a flight from Los Angeles. Cal., in 23 hours 18 minutes actual flying time. The old record for the west-to-east flight was 48 hours, held by Richard James, Flushing high school student, who was on hand to greet Goldsborough. Air Lines Regulated B" Serhtps-lloiraril Newspaper Alliance \ WASHINGTON, May 12.—Fcr months there have been before congress various bills for regulation of the country's air lines. Most of them ! provided for some sort of governing j body to become an “interstate air i commission.” But no action was taken on these I bills, so the aeronautics branch of : the commerce department has is- j sued its own regulations. They require that all air passen- I ger lines in interstate commerce obtain certificates of authority to operate. The regulations are effective May 15, and the operators are given two months to apply for certificates. From then on their operations will be watched closely by government inspectors, and they will be required to use every modem safety appliance. Hops for Calcutta Hu 1 nited Press ALLAHABAD, India. May 12. Miss Amy Johnson, British aviatrix, en route on a solo flight from England to Australia, halted here for two hours today and proceeded toward Calcutta after refueling. Miss Johnson wore khaki shorts and silk ; socks rolled down over her ankles, which were raw from sunburn. Congressmen Fly in Blimp - ' r u tirripps-Hoirnrd Newspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, May 12.—The greatest, parade of senators and congressmen into the air since Lindbergh acted as chauffeur for the lawmakers here two years ago just has been completed. This time they tried out the light-rr-than-air branch of aviation, flying in the little Goodyear blimp Vigilant. More than two dozen members of congress have taken lnlf-hour flights over the capital during the last week. Altogether, about three hundred persons have flown over the city in the ship. Most of them were the families of senators and congressmen, or government officials. Plane Fare Raised Increases in the Embry-Riddle air mail line passenger rates from Cincinnati to Chicago went into effect Saturday, according to Donald A McConnell. Indianapolis manager for the company. The rates were increased from $9.08 to $11.55 for Indianapolis to Chicago; from $5.78 to $7.35 for Indianapolis to Cincinnati, and from $14.85 to $16.20 for Cincinnati to Chicago. Despite increases, rates still are below the rate schedule followed when the lines were inaugurated. The original rate from here to Chicago was $22.

Passengers were being carried at a loss under the low rates, according to McConnell. Cut Price Auto Accessories Replacement Parts Tires and Batteries \Blue POINT STATIONS Corner Delaware.

Stage Poise Just Natural to Baby Rose Marie, Radio Star

Thlm is the fourth of a aerie* of stories about Baby Rose Marie, child wonder of the air, whose programs have entertained hundreds of thousands of radio fans. Watch for other stories in The Times of the leading radio artists. You'll like them all. BY PAUL HARRISON NEA Service Writer STAGE presence and stage ability “just came natural” to Baby Rose Marie. 5-year-old darling of | the radio, declares her mother. "It just came natural to Rose Marie,” her mother said. “But it ; was a long time before we ever j thought she'd be a professional | singer. She always loved to go to I the movies, and especially vaudeville. Then she'd beg me all day to play for her, and when daddy came home at night we'd ‘play show.’ She’d plant daddy across the room to be ; the audience, and she’d dress up in anything from my old clothes to my new curtains and come out and imitate the singers or movie stars she’d seen that day.” Debut in Neighborhood House j In a little neighborhood theater ! near the Curley’s apartment, Rose I Marie made her first public ap- ! pearance. Many a performer has been launched on the road to fame by an “Amateur Night,” and she was no exception. Rose Marie was 2 years old when she stood before an audience of hard-boiled east-siders and sang the first song she ever learned: “What Can I Say, Dear, After I say I'm Sorry?” The other amateurs didn’t have a chance after that. | Little Miss Curley went home with first prize. How has she learned the verses and choruses of more than seventyfive popular songs? Even her parents don’t know. Credit Due Parents But given her natural aptitude for music, and a mentality described by a Columbia university psychologist as “phenomenal,” there’s still a lot of credit due the parents who have brought her, normal and virtually unspoiled, through three 'years of such unnatural experiences. “In the first place,” explained Papa Curley, “we don’t force anything on her. A song may sound to us as though it might have been written especially for her. But if Rose Marie doesn’t like it when she hears it the first time—that’s all there is to it. “She gets a lot of her stuff right off the radio, without any help from us. Being in the sheet music business, I pick up quite a lot of numbers, and those she likes we play for her over and over. It’s no trouble to get her to practice. We have to stop her. lots of times to keep her from overwork- j ing.” Not Good for Kids “Most of this popular stuff now- j adays is liinda suggestive, you I know, and not exactly appropriate I for a kid of 5. So when we come j to these places I make up some j new lyrics, or take out some words that wouldn’t sound just right. She learns ” “Over in the park, where we play,” broke in Rose Marie, “I teach some of the kids how to sing, too. But they're not so hot. “There was a boy over there one day. and he told me it wasn’t nice to try to sing these grown-up songs. That’s what he said: it wasn’t nice. I smacked him good!” Pronounces Words Clearly Much of Rose Marie’s radio success has been due to the clarity of her enunciation. The reason is simple: her parents never spoke to her in baby-talk, nor allowed her to use it. “She hasn’t been sick a day in her life, v said Mr. Curley. “Weighs fifty-six pounds now, and is more than three and a half feet tall. “We give her very ltitle meat, plenty of vegetables and lots of milk. No, no spinach. We see that she totals twelve hours or more sleep every day, but have to leave the radio on when she goes to b^d.’ “And sometimes,” said Rose &larie, “they play some r'w pieces, and I get so hot and bothered that I want to get up again.” Shines as Swimmer “Swims like a fish,” continued her father. “Gets plenty of exercise with .the kids. too. But she keeps herself clean and will spend an hour in the tub, all the time warbling ‘Singing in Bathtub.’ ” Up the street is a parochial school where Rose Marie started to kindergarten not long ago. They tell how she came running home after the first day. “Mother,” she said, “that teacher ain’t so hot. She wanted us to sing, and I found out she didn’t know a single one of my numbers!”

NEW TARZAN STRIP AND BOOK ON WAY

Hero Loves and Fights in Strange Land at Center of Earth. Times readers who wait eagerly every day for the Tarzan strip will greet with rejoicing the news that another Tarzan picture in strip form will appear in this paper on completion of “The Son of Tarzan,” and that anotheT thrilling Tarzan book has been written by Edgar Rice Burroughs. The next strip will be “Tarzan of the Lost Empire.” The new book is “Tanar of Pellucidar,” to appear May 29. Tanar, like Tarzan, is a hero of romantic adventure, but instead of braving the perils of the African jungle, he fights and loves in the strange world of Pellucidar, at the hollow center of the earth. Instead of the apes, lions, elephants and leopards of the Tarzan stories, Tanar is confronted in Pellucidar by reptiles of gigantic size, huge mastodons, saber-toothed tigeis. ferocious cave bears and winged monsters. Peopled by Savages Pellucidar is a world of savage men and prehistoric beasts. Into it two Americans, David Innes and Abner Perry, were precipitated. Experimenting with a device of tremendous power made to bore through the earth's crust for valuable minerals, they lost control and were plunged through the darkness of the inner world. After appalling adventures they found themselves in Pellucidar. The Pellucidarians are a race of mountain-dwellers, with the heroic virtues of free, primitive people. When the Americans arrived, Pellucidar was threatened by the attacks of winged monsters of prodigious strength known as the Mahars. Through their inventive genius and knowledge, the Americans managed to manufacture gunpowder and crude firearms, and with these weapons they almost exterminated the enemy. David Innes became emperor of Pellucidar. Reach Earth by Radio In the new novel, the Americans get* into radio communication with people on the crust of the earth. They report that Tanar, son of a Pellucidarian chieftain, has been

CANDIDATE FOB SENATE IS NOT WIDELMNOWN Pennsylvania Wet Aspirant Leader in Battle of Liberal Forces. BY T. J. O’CONNELL. United Press Staff Correspondent PHILADELPHIA, May 12-Lead-i ing the fight of the liberal forces ! of the state of Pennsylvania in the present bitter Republican factional primary is Francis H. Bohlen. While Bohlen is well known to ' the people of his state, his fame beyond the borders of Pennsylvania apparently is confined mostly to lawyers and law school graduates. Francis H. Bohlen, candidate for the United States senatorial nomination on the Republican ticket, is a native Philadelphian. He was born here on July 31, 1868. He received his early education in this city and at St. Paul’s school, at Concord, N. H., where he graduated in 1884. Took Law Course '.cturning to Philadelphia, young Bohlen took a post-graduate course in chemistry at the University of Pennsylvania. Later he took a course in law at the law school of the University of Pennsylvania, graduating in 1892. Fram 1898 to 1901, Bohlen lectured at the University of Pennsylvania law school and then became an assistant professor of law. He then was promoted to a full professorship and held this post until 1925, when he joined the faculty of the Harvard law school as Langdell professor of law. In 1928 he returned to the University of Pennsylvania and on Dec. 6, 1929, the university conferred on him the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws. Professor Bohlen is the author of a comprehensive case book on torts and has been a frequent contributor to the Harvard, Columbia and the Pennslyania law schools. Served on Board Although Bohlen has spent most of his life teaching law in universities, he achieved considerable distinction when he served as secretary of the commission whie drafted the state workmen’s compensation act. After the workmen’s compensation act was passed, Professor Bohlen was appointed counsel for the board and served for a number of years in that capacity. Bohlen, as a candidate for the senatorial nomination, has the backing of the Pennsylvania division of the Association Against the Prohibition Amendment, and the Pennsylvania division of the Women’s Organization for National Prohibition Reform. Detachable collars were invented by Hannah Montague, and English housewife, in 1825.
