FLIER LEAVES ROME ON HOP TO AUSTRALIA Kingsford-Smith Seeks to Break Record Set by Bert Hinkler. Bu United Press ROME, Oct. 10. Charles E. Kingsford-Smith hopped off for Athens, en route to Australia in his airplane Southern Cross Jr., at 8:41 a. m., central standard time, today. The record-seeking flight of Kingsford-Smith will follow the route of famous English and Australian aviators from the empire’s capital to Australia. Along that route, which calls for courageous flying over water, mountains, jungle and desert, the noted woman flier, Miss Amy Johnson, was the most recent traveler by air. She made a remarkable record despite her failure to break the record of fifteen days and twelve hours. Bert Hinkler, who won the International Aviation league prize, set the record which has stood since the summer of 1928 in the face of repeated challenges by English and Australian fliers. Hinkler, an Australian with a notable record in aviation, flew from Croydon to Port Darwin. Kingsford-Smith is attempting to cover the route in several days less than required by Hinkler. The famous ocean flier also has more than a record as an incentive, for his fiancee, Miss Mary Powell, is waiting for him at Melbourne. One-Way Air Lanes Bu NEA Service LONDON, Oct. 10.—London did not look for air congestion so soon, but the airways above this city have become so crowded that it has become necessary to plan a one-way system of traffic for airplanes. Planes coming into the city must come in from one side, and planes going out must leave by the other side. This necessitates a trip of about thirty-five miles for the pilot approaching the city from the wrong side. Because of traffic and bad weather, the air ministry believes that it will be an excellent safeguard against planes crashing into one another head-on. Air Mail Rate Cut BuVEA Service ROME, Oct. 10.—In an effort to popularize the use of airmail, Italy has cut the cost. It now is delivering without extra postal charges, going for the same rate as firstclass mail. Mussolini says that the speeding up of delivery of letters, without extra cost, must prove beneficial to the nation at large. Novel Plane Tested BERLIN. Oct. 10.—The FokkerWulf airplane works at Bremen have perfected the “Ente” (duck) plane which is said to be fool-proof. This plane can fly, but it can not fall, it is said. Its landing ability is due to the fact that it is equipped with a special device which allows the plane to glide slowly to earth in an everwidening circle without a hand on the controls and with the engine dead. Wings of the plane are wooden and the body is metal.

World's Tiniest Train

|& , y_. , ;>; - X* R

Here we have the world’s tiniest train—and, for its size, one of the world’s costliest—made by J. Martin, a watchmaker of Walthamstow, England, who is shown here. It is constructed entirely of gold and silver, the engine is one and three-eighths inches long, the whole train is only eight inches long and it runs by clockwork four feet six inches in length, taking two and one-half hours to cover the distance and traveling at a speed of about three miles a year.

BUILDING DELAY AT AIRPORT PROBABLE

Administration Building at City Field Is Behind Schedule. Possibility that the administration building at the municipal airport, near Ben Davis, will not be completed before December, loomed today. Board of works members ordered Paul H. Moore, airport superintendent, to check expenditures on construction of the airport with Francis Coleman, deputy city controller, in an effort to determine how much of the $693,000 construction bond issue remains. It has been learned that with contracts now signed, all but $552 of the fund has been exhausted. Another $75,000 bond issue will be sold to install lights, water and furniture in the structure. It became known today that

members of the previous administration’s city council, when the original issue was floated, didn’t know how they were going to spend all the money.” Charles T. Caldwell, engineer at the airport, gave the board permission to withhold more than $4,000 due him so the board can pay for the large doors to be installed at each end of the hangar. The company supplying the doors, which are not to be completed for a month, demanded the payment of $4,500 for the doors within thirty days. With the transcontinental and Western Air, Inc., ready to use the completed field, Oct. 15, seriousness of the administration building delay has been increased. The company was formed by recent union of the Western Air Express and the T. A. T. Maddux lines. Mail and passengers will be brought to the city airport daily after the service opens.

BLAMES GAS IN R-101JISASTER Purdue Chemist Would Lift Helium Export Ban. BY DR. R. B. MOORE Dean, school of science, Pvrdne University, and formerly chief chemist. United States Burean of Mines. (Written Especially for Science Service) LAFAYETTE, Ind., Oct. 10.—The disaster of the R-101 simply emphasizes the value of helium to the United States as an airship gas. Whatever the initial cause of the disaster, the result would have been very different if the ship had been inflated with helium. As one of the original board that recommended to the President that he put an export ban on helium, I am willing to agree with Admiral William A. Moffett that such a ban should be removed in peace time, provided our own airship program is pushed ahead and not restricted, and provided that helium sent abroad to any country should be limited to their immediate peace time needs, and shall not be stored in large quantities for possible use in war. The original object of the ban was, in case of war, to prevent foreign airships filled with American helium from dropping bombs on New York and Washington, and other important American cities. This disaster does not shake any confidence in the ultimate usefulness of airships filled with helium for commercial transportation as well as for national defense. We still have railroad disasters and lots of airplane disasters, but no one suggests that we stop making railroad engines or airplanes.

CLARA COMING EAST, BUT NOT TO MARRY Shell See Harry Richman, That’s All; New Picture on Gambling. Bu United Press HOLLYWOOD, Oct 10.—Clara Bow is to visit New York, but only to make scenes for her new picture, and not to marry Harry Richman, she said here today. “I probably will see Harry .when I am here,” she admitted in denying that a wedding was in the offing. “But the thought of marriage is farthest from my mind right now. I will return about Nov. 1— single, just as I ma now.” Miss Bow’s new picture will be “No Limit,” and have a gambling plot. While the story will not concern her recent loss of $13,900 at Calneva (Nev.) tables, which she refused to pay, Paramount-Publix is cashing in on the publicity she gained thereby.
