TEN AIR HOPS ACROSS OCEAN ARE PROJECTED August to Be Busy Month for Fliers Who Will Dare Atlantic. fiv Timrs Sprrio l DETROIT, July 26 —During the early part of August at least ten tr&iL-Atlantic flights will be started, mil but two attempt* being made in American-built planes. The most ambitious flight scheduled is that of John Henry Mears, millionaire theatrical producer, and his pilot, who will attempt to make anew record for circling the globe, in a Lockheed-Vega cabin plane carrying 425 gallons of gas. Mears will fly east across the Atlantic, and also will fly the Pacific from Siberia to Alaska. His plane has a high speed of 181 miles an hour, which he believes will enable him to lower the Graf Zeppelin’s record of twenty-one days. Alexander Magyar and George Endresz will hop off from Flint. Mich., during the early part of August on a nonstop flight to Hungary, In a Lockheed Sirius. Present plans call for refueling the plane in the air over Newfoundland. Paris His Goal George Hutchinson will attempt a solo Richmond, Va.-Paris flight in a Lockheed Sirius about the same time, and Art Goebel recently took delivery of the same type plane for the difficult western flight from Paris to New York, but there is some question as to whether his company will allow him to make that trip. Colonel Roberto Fierro, who recently established a non-stop record from New York to Mexico in his Lockheed Sirius, is understood to be planning an oceanic flight of some sort, but details are not available. A mysterious Englishman also Is taking delivery on a Lockheed Sirius shortly for a westward flight from London to New York. Lieutenant C. H. Schilhauer will pilot the huge DO-X motored Dormier seaplane from Germany to the United States this summer, Lewis A. Yancy plans a flight from New York to Moscow. Captain C. S. Wynne-Eyton will fly solo to Great Britain, Roger Q. Williams a flight to some point in Europe, and Diedonne Costes will make a westward attempt shortly. New plans for Harold Bromley's Tacoma-Tokio flight are pending. Actress Plans Hop One girl. Edna May Cooper, a former Hollywood movie actress, plans a spectacular oceanic flight in a Ryan monoplane similar to that used by Colonel Lindbergh in his historic crossing. Rumors still persist that Colonel Lindbergh himself will attempt another trans-Atlantic flight during, the summer in his new Lockheed Sirius. The five pilots who will use Lockheeds in their attempted crossings' will have a cruising speed of from! fifty to sixty miles an hour greater than that of Colonel Lindbergh’s Ryan the Spirit of St. Louis. This is one of the best examples of the development of airplane design in the last three years. Arrivals and Departures Mars Hills Airport—Embry passengers to Chicago included E. E.

Miniature Golf —No. 2

Just Be Comfortable Is Best Recipe in Putting

1 ATTEMPTED to stress ihe value of putting in my last article by pointing out that the best golfers almost always are the best putters. When you get into the class of the stars, the difference in their relative merits simmers down to their play on the greens. Why i3 this? Because half the strokes in a round of golf are taken on the greens. Par for your course probably is 71, 72 or 73. There are eighteen holes and par always allows two putts for each green. That makes thirty-six putts for the round and approximately half the strokes. Now you understand why putting is so important. T have no peculiar ideas concerning this part of the game. I believe in making every motion of the putting stroke as natural and as easy as possible. After all, a feeling of ease as the ball is addressed is half the matter of getting the ball down. It inspires confidence. There is no set formula for standig. placing tthe feet or holding the club. Feel comfortable. (Oonyrißht, 1930. by NEA Service. Inc.) Next: Give your putts overspin.

FESS BOOMED FOR CHAIRMAN OF REPUBLICANS Strenuous Objections May Keep Post Open for Time, Say Leaders. BY PAUL R. MALLON, United Press SUff Correspondent WASHINGTON, July 26. strenuous objections are raised by party leaders to the plan to have Senator Simeon D. Fess of Ohio succeed Claudius Huston as chairman of the Republican national committee, it is believed likely that post may be permitted to remain vacant for the present. The idea of the Hoover group is to make Fess national chairman, temporarily at least, and to make Robert H. Lucas (Kentucky) chairman of the national executive committee, a post corresponding to that held by Jouett Shouse in the Democratic organization. Feis in Advisory Capacity Under such an arrangement, Licas, now internal revenue commissioner, would be expected to perform the more arduous duties of both posts while Fess would act chiefly in an advisory capacity. Among others mentioned for the chairmanship is Senator David Baird of New Jersey, now a weekend guest ot Mr. Hoover at the President’s Rapidan (Va.) camp. Baird is retiring from the senate to make way for Dwight W. Morrow as the Republican senatorial candidate in New Jersey. He has been affiliated with the young guard movement cf new Republican senators and his candidacy for the chairmanship is being advocated by some members of this group. Nearly all the Republican leaders in congress have been or are being mentioned as possibilities in party leaders’ discussions of Huston’s successor. Moses Is Chief Objector The chief objector to the FessLucas ticket is Senator George Moses, New Hampshire. Should he or his friends decide to start controversy when the executive committee meets, the champions of the Fess-Lucas arrangement indicate they will let the post remain vacant. They do not want another fight in the ranks at this time. The congressional election campaign is in the hands of the two congressional campaign committees, and there is not much remaining to be done, except raising an appropriation of money for campaign purposes. This work could be handled by Treasurer Nut and other officials of the committee.

SITS, SITS_AND SITS Boy Says He Isn’t Coming Down Until Cold Weather. Palmer McCloskey’s boast that he isn’t coming down from his tree at 328 North Temple avenue until cold weather seemed not a whit threatened today as he continued sitting in his leafy bower. He has been aloft almost two weeks. Warren Winzenread, 3123 North Sherman drive, and David Smith, Beech Grove, continued to press the leader. A stomach ache drove Clifford Hasty from his roost at 1350 Commerce avenue, after 150 hours, and the owner of the tree in which he sat chased Howard Sanders, 1214 East St. Clair street, to earth Friday, after 197 hours. FAMILY TO CONVENE Ebcn H. Wolcott Will Be Speaker at Hartford, Conn. Eben H. Wolcott, president of Standard Securities Company, Pythian buliding, will be a speaker at the twenty-seventh annual reunion of descendants of Henry Wolcott at Hartford, Conn., Aug. 12-14. The 300th anniversary of the entrance of Henry Wolcott, Puritan immigrant, to American life will be celebrated. The Wolcott family is one of the few to have a national organization.

LUDLOW TO RESCUE

Offers ‘Light’ Summer Reading

HAVE you a problem? Have you been tossing in bed. your mind wracked with the sex life of the Catalpa sphinx and the spotted garden slug? Then look in your mailbox and write your congressman. For Representative Louis Ludlow, member of congress from the Seventh district, whose “greatest joy” as a congressman comes w-ith the opportunity the post affords “to serve my fellow citizens,” is showering his constituents with brown, franked envelopes and an offer of a “reading course” that rivals Central library! And if. unappreciative, you didn’t open the letter, you missed “List No. 3” and the chance to get any or all of some 150 government pamphlets Louts will be glad to mail you. Having succeeded in his fight to locate the new veterans' hospital in Indianapolis, and having battled for Hoosier Interests in the long tariff fight, Ludlow finds the house adjournment gives him more time

ieuu a liana w me uuie iciiow. Constituents with sporting blood in their veins probably will apply a sharp pencil to “No. 897. Fleas and Their Control,” “No. 734. Flytraps and Their Operation,” and possible, for a sortie into big game, “Bedbugs,” or “Cockroaches.’

For those who found delight in the rustic simplicity of Chic Sale's “The Specialist,” your congressman offers: “Simple Plumbing Repairs,” “Farmhome Conveniences,” “Social Aspects of Rural Planning’’ and “Rural Libraries” all mighty, mighty good reading. Women voters whose hearts burst with mother-love, will find charm and appeal, doubtless, in “Preparation of Bees for Outdoor Winter” or “Raising Guinea Pigs.” Their problem may be answer, possibly, by “No. 52. Suits for the Small Boy.” The list points the way for farm relief. For the mere scratch of a rusty pen, mortgage-burdened Hoosier farmers may obtain a treatise on “gourds for Bird Houses and Other Purposes.” Crop records indicate farmers have given woefully little attention to the propagation of the humble gourd.

Legionnaires and other champions of an adequate national defense will want “Cutwords in the Garden and Control,” “The Argentine Ant as a Pest,” and “Insect Enemies of Chrysanthemums.” Perhaps the representative’s correspondents will want to group their requirements. Thus, “Eggs at Any Meal” may find a useful adjunct in "Stain Removal From Fabrics.” With one request, Young Johnny may ask for “Food for Young Children” and “Ice Creams Frozen Without Stirring,” giving, of course, his mother’s name and address. Remembering stick knobs on jampantry doors, mother might ask in the same letter for “Care of Food in the Home.” And if the children are in that restless, adolescent stage, there’s nothing to keep them home nights like “Mushroom Culture for Amateurs.” The Ludlow menu recognizes the existence of a divided public opinion on prohibition. It may be only chance, but what might be called the “allied subjects” appear in this order on the list: “Fruit Growing for Home Use,” “Unfermented Grape Juice,” “Grape Insect and Fungus Enemies,” “Corn and Its Uses as Food,” "Blackberry Growing,” “Making Vinegar in the Home,” “Making Fermented Pickles,” “Home Baking,” “Utilizing Muscatine Grapes,” and, believe it or not, Mr. Ripley, “Protection from Lightning!” Franking to all cynical and caustic newspaper writers, copies of “Raspberry Culture,” Congress nan Ludlow, Washington tradition ias it, had read but one govern nant bulletin before taking his seat in the house. It was No. 1180, the formula of his flection: ‘'Housecleaning Made Easier.”

BANDIT TRAPPED BY BANK BOOK Cops Claim Confession in Shoe Store Holdup. Two of four men arrested in holdups Friday have confessed, police declared today. A bank book, lost by Benjamin R. Friend, 26, of 1919',2 Bellefontaine street, during his alleged unsuccessful attempt to hold up the Hanover shoe store, 14 East Washington street, Friday afternoon, caused him to surrender to arrest.

HYDE, LEGGE TO SPEAK HERE Wheat Acreage Reduction Plea to Be Made.

Hyde, secretary of agriculture, and Alexander Legge, chairman of the federal farm board, will be the speakers. Economists, agronomists and newspaper editors have been invited to attend. DELAY SHOOTING QUIZ Man Believed Wounded in Hijacking Battle in Serious Condition. Police today again delayed questioning of Douglas D. Hall, 4132 Park avenue, on circumstances leading to his serious wound with a rifle bullet Wednesday. His condition at Methodist hospital remains serious. Police believe a hijacking battle on State Road 52 near Lebanon resulted in the shooting. LOOKING FOR SWEETIE Theft of Fine Sugar Samples From Automobile Reported. Indianapolis police a'.<; looking for “sweetie." H. R. Davis, 3829 North Capitol avenue, reported to police Friday night theft of a sample case containing fine sugar samples from his automobile, parked at Riverside park. The sugar, samples from the American Sugar Refining Company, were valued at $25.

CARBOLIC ACID IS BLAMED FOR! JAKE PARALYSIS Solution of Puzzle by Government Scientists May Bring Cures. 1 By United Prr*s WASHINGTON. July 26.—Extensive research by public health service scientists into the cause of the mysterious “ginger Jake” paralysis has brought a tentative solution of the enigma, it was learned today. All samples of the Jamaica ginger beverage known to have caused paralysis revealed the presence of phenlos (carbolic acid) when tested here. Further experiments with animals indicated the concoction containned phosphoric acid in a combined form. From the evidence at hand, therefore. public health service chemists are inclined to believe an unusual combination of carbolic acid, phosphoric acid and ginger tincture strongly diluted with alcohol, and perhaps containing some other adulterants, has been responsible for the wide spread paralysis. The carbolic acid compound is held chiefly to blame. Some hope for the many persons suffering from paralysis as a result of drinking the beverage was held out by the government chemsists, although they said their efforts thus far have been devoted principally to finding the cause. Treatment probably will be easier now that the cause has been tentatively learned. Commenting on the new findings, James M. Ogden, industrial alcohol commissioner, said bootleggers might easily buy carbolic acid and use it as a “filler” to give bite and substance to their beverage. He said the government does not use carbolic acid as a denaturant, and that none of the Jamaica ginger samples analyzed showed any trace of government denaturing formulaes. SUSPECTED POOR BOX ROBBER GETS FINE Clifford Hughes Must Serve 60 Days in Lieu of Payment. An allegro attempt to rob the poor box of the Holy Rosary church two weeks ago resulted in a fine of SSO on vagrancy charges for Clifford Hughes in Judge Paul C.

He as captured in the church by Mrs. Rose Carlson, 515 Stevens street, who said he attempted to loot the collection box.
