Perhaps that is why it is so silent. However, in justice to women, I wish to say it also is the dreariest and loneliest place on earth.” Describes Little America He described the founding of Little America, the base camp from which his polar flight was made, an outpost 2,300 miles from the nearest human habitation. The party lived in snow rooms, many feet below the surface of the snow, in order to keep warm. In these quarters the temperature was about 20 degrees below zero, he said. Above the snow it ranged from 65 to 90 degrees below zero. Guy K. Jeffries, Indianapolis, past national president of Exchange clubs, presided at the meeting, and introduced Mayor Reginald H. Sullivan. Governor Leslie welcomed the guests, and Harold M. Harter, Toledo, national secretary, introduced J. P. Muller, president of Exchange clubs.

HAWKS STUDIES SPEED IN AIR Safety Is Assured, Says Nation’s Champion. BYgJAPTAIN FRANK M. HAWKS Transcontinental Speed Champion Written lor the United Press, CHICAGO, Aug. 26.—Aviation’s important move now must be the speeding up of pay loads in order to advance successfully and profitably. The safety of flying has been assured, leaving only the conquering of the time element for a greater public support. My sole purpose in being here and entering the Thompson-speed race next Monday is because it will give me another chance to display speed. While it is a race to me, it is the commercial practicability of speed that I am interested in. My mystery ship, Texaco 13, is no mystery to me—that is in regard to what it can do. It has done much to teach me just what can be done with speed and commercial flying.

BiU l imes Special t>T. WAYNE, Ind., Aug. 26. A Bruno Meyer, 93, who worked at his trade of moulder until he was 81 years old, thinks America is a great country except for prohibition. When he recalls the two glasses of beer he had each evening after work in the bygone, legally wet days, he speaks bitterly. “Next thing we know they'll be taking my pipe away, and when that happens, I don’t think I care to live any longer, or else I’ll have to smoke oak leaves,” Meyer asserts. “I see where thfey are trying to make a law out in Oregon to do away with tobacco. It’s a great country when you can do things like that.” Meyer doesn’t like home brew, automobiles, radio or airplanes. He is interested principally in smoking a pipe and in a garden, which he cultivates with his own hands.

BYRD FORESEES HOOSIER STATE AS AIR CENTER Indiana's Location Is Ideal for Aviation, Asserts Famed Explorer. BY CARLOS LANE To the middle west, and particularly to Indiana, commercial aviation will come for development from a lusty youngster to a giant industry. Rear Admiral Richard E. Byrd believes. By virtue of its geographical lo- j cation, distribution of the country's population, the wealth of its industry, particularly in northern sections of the state, and with terrain naturally adapted to construction of air- I ports, the Hoosier state offers unlimited possibilities to future flying, he said. “I always have believed your state has a great aviation future. I have watched its development of that industry closely, and have inspected the state as carefully as possible on several trips over it by air,” the admiral said, answering questions of newspaper men in an interview' at k the Claypool Monday afternoon. Interviewed by Student Differing from many who have achieved fame, Admiral Byrd received the reporters affably, and chatted with them, often humorously, for more than half an hour. During the early minutes he answered questions of Fletcher Humphrey, a crippled Shortridge high school student. Adamant in his refusal to sit down, Fletcher stood on his crutches, asking questions for a story he will write for the Shortridge Echo, official student publication, when school reopens next week. The admiral admitted he will make another expedition ip the future, but explained he still was too much concerned with work subsequent to his south pole trip to have made accurate plans. The expedition will be of a scientific nature, he disclosed. Likes Airport Here He lauded the municipal airport here, over which his plane circled en route from Chicago to Mars Hill Monday. ‘‘l am practically retired,” Admiral Byrd said. “After a side trip to the Syracuse (N. Y.) fair to see a friend, I shell be at home.” Shortly after a national guard flight left Stout field, Mars Hill, to csccrt the Byrd plane here from Lebanon, Monday afternoon, the new tri-motored Stinson in which the admiral made the trip to Indianapolis, circled the field above the crowd of almost 2,000 persons. They jammed against lines of national guardsmen that held open a lane for the visitor as he was greeted by M. P. Muller, Exchange Club president, Governor Harry G. ; Leslie and Mayor Reginald Sullivan. Greets Bob Shank Walking through the lane to the official auto to convey him downtow?n, Admiral Byrd halted the pro- | cession to greet an old friend whom he recognized in the crowd. It was Bob Shank, president of Hoosier airport, with whom the admiral was associated in aviation in the east eleven years ago. The caravan of autos proceeded north to Washington street, and thence east to Missouri street, where bands, color guards, a platoon of naval reserves and drum corps joined the parade. On the steps of Soldiers and Sailors’ monument, after brief ceremony, Mayor Sullivan presented Admiral Byrd with a medal voted •him by the city.

New Dance Step Intricate, Reports City Master, at Convention. BY LOUIS STOCKMAN Indianapolis Dance Master. CHICAGO, Aug. 26.—Toes will suffer this winter on the nation’s dance floors. That is, unless devotees pay strict heed to the dictum of the Chicago Association of Dancing Masters, now in annual convention here, 1,000 strong. The University Drag is sure to be the season’s most popular collection of steps, the masters agree. It’s a beautiful arrangement. It’s a kind of slow, draggy glide, the body undulating to cause drapery to float like mist in the air—if you happen to be wearing drapery. It is a winding, walking tap, two steps being executed with the feet crossed, and it is danced to the new slow four-four tempo. You’ll have to count under your breath to do it right and take great care where ou place your4eet. if you don’t, it’ll be tough on your partner’s toes. Other dances to be favored this winter will contain difficult slow dips, curves and trick stunts with the feet. All in all, it looks as though dancers of Indianapolis are in for some study, if they're going to qualify with the season’s new line. The new dances indorsed by the Dancing Masters of America in their New York session are the slow fox trot, the university drag, by Anna Keenan of Philadelphia; a fast fpx trot, the Glasgow, by Roger McEwan, Glasgow, Scotland; dream waltz, by Edna Passapae, Newark, N. J.; tango, by Roger McEwan, and novelty dance, by Oscar Duryea, New York City. Club Leader Fatally Hurt Bu Times Special SOUTH BEND, Ind., Aug. 26.

'CHUTE JUMPER FALLS IN CROWD Greatest Thrill of Career at Chicago. BY BERT WHITE World's Champion Parachute Jumper of Los Anzelcs. (Written for the United Press.l CHICAGO, Aug. 26.—After five years of paracute jumping, during which time I won the world’s record by falling 26,000 feet, it remained for me to get the biggest scare of my career by dropping into the grandstand here at the National air races. When a jumper takes an ordinary hop he doesn’t think much about ■ anything. But when I hopped out of that plane at about 2,000 feet Monday and later saw I was headed for the grandstand with all those people in it, I thought plenty fast. I dropped several hundred feet without opening my chute so the “folks would get a thrill. When I dropped within 600 feet of the ground I saw I was going to land in the stands. I had thought I could sail over ’em. I opened my second chute, but it didn’t help matters any. I unhooked both chutes and hung on to the ropes with my hands. That was so I wouldn’t be dragged over the crowd by the wind, as I would have been with the chutes strapped on. I hit pretty hard on the concrete aisle and the silk chute tangled a lot of people up, but none of us was hurt.

TRIAL JUDGE IS SURE MOONEY IS INNOCENT Belief Is Strengthened by Suprejne Court Hearing, Griffin Asserts. BY MAX STERN Times Staff Correspondent SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 26.—“ My belief in the absolute innocence of Tom Mooney and Warren Billings is not only confirmed by the recent supreme court rehearing; it is strengthened,” said Superior Judge Franklin Griffin, the man who sat in the Mooney trial fourteen years ago and who was forced to impose a hanging sentence upon the victim. Jr-dge Griffin for years has been in the forefront of'the pardon crusade, writing appeals to three governors, speaking at mass-meetings, using his influence to impress California with the enormity of the crime he oelieves it has committed against the two laborites. Last year before 2,000 citizens in the mass-meeting here he called the Mooney case “one of the dirtiest jobs ever put over.” Delay Is Regretted “I resent the fact that any court was used for such a contemptible piece of work,” he declared. “I regret that the Governor has taken such a long time to act?” Today he said he holds these sentiments more strongly, if possible, than he did before the Billings "retrial.” “The recent rehearing has develI oped nothing new except to prove the witnesses capable of telling new perjuries as they went along,” he said. “Who could believe John MacDonald after his shifting stories? I told Governor Stephens in my first letter that MacDonald’s testimony could be demonstrated as, a tissue of falsehoods by use Os simple mathematics. It was geometrically false. That he changed his testimony between the Mooney and Billings trials was not surprising, knowing that he is simply incapable of telling the truth.

Strong Alibis for Both Estelle Smith; it is inconceivable that any one should place the least credence in her stories. She was, of course, not used in the Mooney trial. “Never In my career as a judge has a case come to my attention in which' all the principal witnesses were perjurers. The only parallel in history so far as I know is the Dreyfus cases. “When, in addition to the fact that the only witnesses to have placed the men at the scene of the crime have been proven perjurers there have been introduced strong alibis for both, one simply can not see how these two men can be kept in jail any longer.” TYPHOiD WAVE FEARED Health Officer Fears Epidemic in Monroe County.

TINY PLANE IS SPEED MARVEL AT AIR RACES Motor of Only 94 HorsePower Develops 194 Miles an Hour in Events. Bu Scrippt-lloieard AlVeiwei CHICAGO. Aug. 26.—0f the more than 400 planes at the national air races, there is one that stands head and shoulders above everything else. The plane is only a tiny thing—stands only waist high, has a wing span of less than 200 feet, and has a four-cylinder motor of only ninetyfour horsepower. But it has the mazing speed of 194 miles an hour. The ship, a monoplane, was built by Benny Howard, veteran mail pilot, who now flies the mail for Universal, between St. Louis and Omaha. He has been working on it nine months in his spare time. The plane is the “cleanest” and most perfectly streamlined of any on the field. Nothing less than 300 horsepower in existence can pass it. - Fliers call it the biggest advance in speed design that has appeared in the pas' year. “I believe that if I had the money, I could put 1,100 horsepower in the same frontal area as this plane, and have a ship that would do 450 miles an hour,” says Howard. Howard is said to" have spent nearly every cent he has on the plane. But he is cleaning up on prize money here. Monday he finished second at a speed of 162 miles an hour, in a race for ships of 1,000 cubic-inch displacement, and his is only about 300. His plane has been clocked on the straightway at 194 miles an Lour. DIPLOMAS AWARDED 28 AS CONFERENCE CLOSES Disciples of Christ Church Young Tcople Hear Chicago Speaker.

THRIFTY WOMEN SEE VALUE OF CANNINS FRUIT THIS SUMMER Never Before Has Sugar Been so Low in Trice and Fruit is Plentiful. A glance at the overflowing fruifj markets and then at the low price of sugar proves conclusively that f930 is the year to put up fruit. Os course the more that is canned the bigger the financial gain, but even a few jars of preserves and glasses of jelly stored away will help cut food bills next winter. Pickles and relishes made of cucumbers, tomatoes, cabbage and watermelon rind are also economical to put up. Their spicy tart-sweet goodness is most welcome when meats and fish are served. Canned fruit has a place in the balanced diet. Most of them are rich in vitamins. For children, canned fruit is an ideal breakfast dish or a fitting dessert. Beyond a doubt, the housewife who puts up plenty of fruit thia summer will find that its consumption next winter will help keep her family well and save her money. Good food promotes good health.
