Avia? lon WIND IS WORST FOE OF FLIERS OVERJJTLANTIC Ocean Aviator’s Fate Often Depends on Preparations Before Starting. BY J. W. YOUNG Jnlted Pr** Science Corrcsnondcnt WASHINGTON, Oct. 13.—When pilot Errol Boyd and navigator Harry Connor flew their transAtlantic monoplane Columbia out over thousands of miles of islandless ocean, in one sense they were not as handicapped as a blindfolded man trying to walk across a football gridiron in a straight line. Yet, to miss a target more than two thousand miles away by only 150 miles does not Indicate a bad shot. When intelligently used, the common instruments of air navigation are excellent direction finders and readily keep a pilot from falling into the blindfold habit of traveling in circles. Even when closed in by a thick fog, a good aviator can hold to his original direction with a variation of only 2 per cent to the side, and on a long flight these variations will average out and reduce the probable error to 1 per cent. Wind Is Worst His Instruments are a bank and turn indicator, compass, pitch indicator and air speed indicator. But such a flight can be accomplished only in still atmosphere, j and still atmosphere exists for the ] most part in theory. Winds are the cause of the transAtlantic flier’s chief worry. At flying elevations it is not unusual to encounter winds blowing at fifty miles an hour. Such a gale quickly can throw an air navigator off his course. One way of determining the effect of wind is with the smoke bomb indicator. A smoke bomb is dropped and as the plane flies away sights are taken on its smoke to measure the angular differences between the line of sight and the axis of the fuselage of the plane. Then the true course can be very closely held by applying this angle as a correction. Must Study Weather Maps Or. if it is night, observations to find a plane’s position can be taken on two fixed stars. Even one inexperienced in using a sextant can locate his position on the earth within twenty-five miles. It is more difficult to make accurate observations on the sun in the day. But suppose the weather is dark and stormy, or if at night the stars can not be seen. It is too foggy to use the drift indicator. Then the wind will sweep the flier off his course. Not what he does then, but what he has done before he hopped off will save him. He will not know where he is going unless he has studied weather maps craefully and potted his course with corrections to allow for the wind, and the weather behaves exactly as predicted. Guard Fliers Train National guard pilots began their training schedule at Stout field, Mars Hill airport, today. Nine planes of the squadron were to take part in formation flying, radio communication, instruction, bombing and photography under supervision of Major Richard F. Taylor, commander.

Had Your Drink Today? You Have One Coming!

BY CARLOS LANE DID you take a drink today? If you didn’t and postpone taking It a week, you’ll regain your complete standing as an average Indianapolis resident only by getting slightly or completely cockeyed, dependent, of course, upon your capacity for juices the eighteenth amendment forbids. For by no other estimates than those of the United States department of justice prohibition bureau, you sip an oversize two-fingers daily, or somebody in this country is getting away with your share of illict wine, beer and spirits. Tlie same figures indicate that at retail prices the allegedly extinct liquor industry in Indianapolis and throughout the country is on a par with several leading legitimate businesses, insofar as volume and value of producton is concerned. Based on that bogey of all statisticians, the general average, during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1930, Indianapolis should have consumed 2,954.000 gallons of beer, wine and hard liquor. Actual figures can not be obtained, for few drinking precincts reported notarized figures on glasses tilted during that period. Based still on the government’s national figure, the stupendous flow of booze through the Hoosier capital chiefly was beer, and doubtless most of that beer was brewed within the sanctity of the fireside, and therein consumed. However, the 2.307,694.4 gallons that should have been poured down dusty throats here, had a retail value of $4,615,388.80.

Probably little of the wine used in Indianapolis was expensive, imported stuff, and therefore, declar-

Depka, association instructor, glided to a height of 125 feet in his Cessna type craft, A glider built by Manual high school boys was on display, Warren Engle - hardt took first and Ralph Crooke second in a model airplane endurance flight. Invents Fog Device Bu YFA Service CHICAGO, Oct. 13.—Earl C. Hanson, Chicago scientist, has invented anew device to help pilots make a safe landing in a fog. It is an instrument which intercepts electrons from Neon tubes on the field. This causes a hum in the pilot’s earphones and activates an electrical altimeter that shows the height of the plane above ground. Mother of Five Sues COLUMBUS, Ind., Oct. 13.—Mrs. Clara Burton, mother of five children, has filed suit for divorce from Drury Burton. She alleges cruelty and desertion.

ing a common retail price of $5 a gallon, the wine allotted to Indianapolis on the average, amounted to 646,630.6 gallons, worth $3,233,153 on anybody’s hooch market. Hard liquors, amounting to 247,249.8 gallons, was difficult to figure in dollars and cents. It varies from s.'o-a-ga’ a alcohol and moonshine, to imported liqueurs at $lO and sl2 a quart. Probably it was worth more than $4,944,996. The total value of the liquor consumed here if Hoosiers are merely average drinkers, was near $12,793,537.90, which would have bought baby several pairs of shoes and allowed the wife anew sedan to boot. Pro-rated roughly, according to the government’s figures for the nation for one year, each individual absorbs 2.5 ounces of alcoholic drink daily, or about seven gallons yearly. The total amount produced the figure reveals was 876,310,718 gallons. In 1914, the prohibition buberau’i report discloses, taxes were paid on 2,252,272,765 gallons. The per capita consumption of alcohol for 1930 and 1914. respectively, the bureau reports, as: 1.705 gallons and .602 gallons, Indicating a decline in drinking in the last sixteen years.

.THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

WET DEMOCRAT IS LIKELY TO BE OHIOSENATOR Bulkley Seems Certain to End Dry Dynasty Set by Wheeler. BY RAY TUCKER Scripps-Howard Staff Writer CLEVELAND, Oct. 13. Ohio, birthplace of the Anti Saloon League and the W. C. T. U., seems determined to send to the United States senate a Democrat who advocates repeal of the eighteenth amendment. He is Robert J. Bulkley, wealthy lawyer, a prominent business man of this city and a figure new to national politics. Senator Roscoe McCulloch, his Republican rival, may be the last Ohio member of the dry dynasty founded at the capital and in fortyeight state legislatures by the late Wayne B. Wheeler and his AntiSaloon League allies. As the Buckeye state led the prohibition parade for ten or more years, so it may be the first to fall out with nation-wide reverbration. The shock may be heard even in the White House and the offices of the Wickersham commission. Prohibition Is Sole Issue The off-year elections in other states may be confused by side issues, such as Ruth McCormick’s detectives in Illinois and Gifford Pinchot’s progressive appeal in Pennsylvania, but prohibition is the paramount issue here. That fact has whipped the drys into desperate mood, but it has given the wets an inspiration they show nowhere else. Bulkley can not win, as all signs indicate he will, by Democratic votes, for Ohio is safely Republican. Therein lies the significance of his predicted triumph by from 100,000 to 200,000 votes. He will smash the league, if he does, through ballots of Republican wets and ex-drys disgusted with ten years of prohibition. Only unforeseen developments, such as religious coups hinted at by certain G.-O. P. strategists, can prevent such an outcome. Revolution State-Wide The revolution is more than an anti-prohibition movement. Ohioans are beginning to regard the league and its tactics much as the more solid and sensible folk of Alabama look on Tom Heflin. The business interests think the league has given the state a bad name and bad advertising. The average man abhors the Burbanking of politics and religion that flowered here two years ago in Mabel Walker Willebrandt’s “take to your pulpits’" address to Methodist parsons. Ohio seems a little bit ashamed of itself. For a decade, during the post-war deflation and the Coolidge boom, its business men were too busy gazing at the Wall Street ticker to take a good look at the United States Constitution as recently modified. Time to Think Now They were happy to turn over management of public affairs to the preachers, the prohibitionists, the propagandists and their willing servants, the cavorting politicians. But the slump afforded them time to think, besides stirring social economic and political restlessness. Even honest drys are dissatisfied,

A Dog’s Life

It isn’t such a dog’s life, after all, a four-pound pup, “Miniature,” learned today when his owner, Patricia Yager, 2, of 1804 Ludlow street, celebrated his first birthday with T-bone steak et al. Patricia and “Miniature” are shown in the above photo.

including thousands of wives and mothers. Mrs. Willebrandt’s desertion to the camp of grape growers has contributed to their disillusionment. Republicans, hearkening to suggestions that they forget the emblem and vote wet, are declaring for Bulkley in droves. They insist their party shall no longer be an anti-saloon league annex. While McCullough is conducting a listless campaign, with few speeches, poor crowds and no statewide advertising, Bulkley, about 50, is getting fun out of it. He is a man of vast interests—a lawyer, real estate operator and director in large concerns. He is a Harvard graduate, and a man of means. But he is quiet and unassuming, passing up society for his beautiful home on the lake here. Riding in an open car at sixty miles an hour is his only hobby. Mercy Shown Embezzler Bu Times Special FT. WAYNE, Ind., Oct. 13.—Admitting theft of $175 from his employer, the Ft.

FEAR BANDITS ARE CAPTORS OF CAPITALIST New Yorker Missing After Making Plane Trip to Chicago. Bu United Press CHICAGO, Oct. 13.—Fears for the safety of Charles V. Bob, New York capitalist for whom Richard E. Byrd named a range of mountains near the south pole, grew today as the mystery of his disappearance deepened. He is one of the men who helped finance Brd’s expedition. Friends of Bob both here and In New York feared the capitalist, who was carrying considerable money when last seen, might have been kidnaped by bandits, or that racketeers, knowing of his wealth, are holding him for ransom.
