WILLS HEIRS A STILL Federal Agents Take It Over, “Forget” About the Charges. Federal agents had confiscated a seventy-gallon capacity liquor still today, but, for once, had no thought of bringing charges against its owner. William Martin, Negro, the owner, was found dead several weeks ago. Checking his personal property Thursday, his heirs found the still. The still, with six gallons of whisky, was hidden in the dingy basement of Martin's home at 2197 Dexter street. Heirs decided they could not legally list it as property in making out probate papers, so they called federal agents. TROOPi KEEP HORSES State Field Artillery' Not to Be Motorized for Time Being.

FLIERS SEE DOUBLE SUNRISE

Nature Plays Queer Pranks for Benefit of Tourists

Propellers that pass Momotombo Volcano in Nicaragua— This is the last of six articles bv C B. Allen on his round South America flight via Pan American Airways. Today he tells of his trip from Canal Zone to New York. BY C. B. ALLEN Times Special Writer NATURE plays a startling trick when the sky is clear down here in the Canal Zone. It’s called the Disappearing Sunrise. George Kraigher, chief polit on the western division of Pan-Amer-ican Airways, shows me the stunt as we fly from Cristobal to Panama City. The sun, like a flaming plum pudding, has risen from the blue Pacific up ahead. That’s surprising enough to begin with. ‘'But,” Kraigher says with a grin, ‘‘now I’ll make her go down for you.” And, pulling back the throttles, he coasts quickly to a landing on the Panama City field a thousand feet below. The lost, altitude causes the sun to slip back into the sea. Gray envelops us. Well, we take on mail and passengers, and climbing the cool air again I soon have the thrill of witnessing my second sunrise in a day. it’s a sunrise that sees fifteen flying days behind me and two and a half days before again touching United States soil—at Brownsville, Tex. A Wasp-motored Ford, instead of the slower Sikorsky, carries me over jumbled mountains and thickly wooded hills of the Isthmus. I see the Atlantic on one side, the Pacific on the other. Clouds form a wall and at 10*000 feet we skip them. Intermittent fog and sunshine are our road to Casta Rica. I turn to watch from 11,000 feet the smoking volcano peak— Irazu, with Cartago, ancient capital destroyed by quakes in 1923 and 1910, at its foot. Kraigher drags us so close to the next volcano, Poas, that we see the gray-white lava bubbling in its rocky cauldron, while sulphur fumes rise from one edge and mingle with the lazy plume of smoke. tt n n WHEN we land at Managua. Nicaragua, I look vainly for United States marines, recalling the warfare that was in progress here not many months ago. But even their hangars have been torn down and shipped back to the states. Well, one volcano after another swims past us after we leave Nicaragua and nose on toward San Salvador City. Momotombo, Momotombito, Viejo—great, hot peaks that breathe out hideous fumes from their nigged nostrils. We’ve covered 918 miles today. Have flown over five countries. And yet are ready for tea and nap before dinner at the “finca.” Now. the "finca” is an old coffee plantation house that is run as a de luxe boarding house by Miss Leona J. Clarke, an American nurse who just happened to

CLARKES MOVE AROUND Son Takes Father’s Place in Michigan City Prison Post. A three-cornered shift of state prison employes named Clarke and Clark, was announced today at the Governor's office.

The younger Clarke's place was filled by Roy Clark, East Chicago, no relation. Three new' guards also were named, making the _ tptal of old guards displaced at twenty-nine.

be in San Salvador when the air line was organized. She’s “mother” to all the Pan American pilots. Feeds them, houses them, is their good counseler. As our plane wheels away the next morning, we hear by radio that Guatemala City, our next stop, is covered by fog. We’re not surprised, then, to find the field shrouded in a cat's fur gray when we reach the sky ramp beneath which the city should lie. For more than an hour we mill about it while the pilot exchanges messages with the ground. He flies low in an attempt to blow the field clear with a blast from our three motors, but the fog closes in immediately from both sides. So there is nothing to do but wait till the blue breaks through and the sun drinks up the suspended moisture. tt $t n IT Is not long now—as we skim other volcanoes and sweep over Amatitlan lake before we slice the Mexican border. We land at Tapachula. Gentlemen of the customs give us the onceover before they permit us to take the diagonal cross continent hop over crags to Minatitlan on the Bay of Campeche, in the Gulf of Mexico. It takes two hours. In an hour and a quarter we are in Vera Cruz. Well, the airport manager at Vera Cruz told me a tale that’s typical of the country, as we chatted over a hot lunch and a cold bottle. “This is where the line branches ' off to Yucatan and Cuba,” he begins. “You’ve heard, of course, of the Mayan ruins at Merida. But I wonder whether you’ve heard of Cozumel Island, off Yucatan coast. It’s got the only airport in the world with a temple on it. “Yes, it’s got a temple on it, all right. . . And he plunges into the story. It seems that Pan-American Airways early in the development of its network decided that it must have a landing field on Cozumel. So Indians were hired to clear the jungle. But it was found that because of the rainy season the field must

have surfaced runways, and as far as the airport engineer knew there wasn’t a stone on the island. He flew to Miami to consult with the chief engineer, leaving Cozumel in charge of a native supervisor. nun TWO weeks later, while he and the chief engineer still were trying to work out a solution, the radio department handed him a report from the Indian foreman to the effect that the clearing was done and “surfacing of the runways is progressing.” The next plane was not too soon for him as he sped back to Cozumel. Yes, the Indian told him proudly, they had found lots of lovely stones in the vegetation-matted “mounds” and they broke up splendidly in the stone crusher. In the “mounds?” The airport engineer, horrified, hastened to the Maya temple he had uncovered. Sure enough, blocks of stone with hieroglyphics on the sides, broken columns fashioned by skilled artisans of a vanished civilization, grinning images of Mayan gods—all were being ground in a stone crusher for an airplane runway. He put a stop to that immediately. But, anyhow’, it didn’t take much imported stone to finish the job. The story told, lunch a few scraps, we climb the clouds for Mexico City.

There are the famous floating gardens, laid out by the Aztecs, and here Valbuena field, Mexican military base, and Central airport, the commercial field adjoining it. My hop from Mexico City to Tampico the next morning was by no means dull. It’s Pilot Harold E. Gray who takes me over PanAmerican’s famous “blind flying” run. The sky is clear as a pool till we reach the edge of a mountainrimmed plateau. Then, as if by some signal, a blanket of clouds is thrown over the mountains below’. We sail ever their tops for thirty-five minutes without a glimpse of the land below’. I say to myself, w r e are beginning to have to drop into this blinding sea w’ith nothing but the pilot’s instruments, skill and a radio direction finder ahead. And no sooner do I say this than holes begin to appear in the “floor.” We glide through one to Tampico field. It’s practically the only real thrill on the entire trip.

EAST AND WEST JOIN HANDS ON MOUNTAIN TOP U. S. Scientists Work Near Monks at Egyptian Observatory. BY DAVID DIETZ. Sfripps-Howard Science Editor Fifteen centuries have joined hands upon the slopes of Mt. St. Katherine, the peak near Mt. Sinai, j believed by many Biblical scholars to be the mountain indicated in the Biblical story of Moses, rather than the mountain known today at Mt. Sinai. The Smithsonian institution has just established a solar observatory j on Mt. St. Katherine, at which daily observations will be made of the amount of heat radiated by the sun. At present, the institution has two other similar mountain observatories. It hopes, by their work, to solve the riddle of the connection between variations in the solar energy and changes in terrestrial weather. The new observatories’ nearest neighbor and closest friends, according to a report from A. F. Moore, Smithsonian scientist now at Mt. St. j Katherine are the monks of the St.! Katherine monastery. This is the i oldest of all Christian monasteries. It was established in the Fifth century and has had an unbroken tra-; dition ever since. Drive Out Brigands “The presence and hospitality of | these monks,” Moore reports, “alone j made possible the establishment and operation of the observatory, j It is entirely due to them that the j desolate region is free from Bedouin j brigands. Moreover, they control I all the native labor in the vicinity.! “They have constructed a trail up Mt. St. Katherine which is truly a marvel, well constructed and equal to our best mountain trails. On it camels can proceed to a poiht only 150 feet below the summit. Excellent stone steps complete the trail to the top.” The main monastery is located near the base of Mt. Sinai, which, is not far from Mt. St. Katherine. But the shrine is located upon the summit of Mt. St. Katherine. Show Deep Interest Moore reports that the Smithsonian scientists were welcomed with open arms by the monks and that the archbishop of the Greek Orthodox church at Cairo also took a deep interest in the plans for the observatory. Mt. St. Katherine is near the center of the triangular mountainous region forming the southern end of the Sinai Peninsula. The mountain, according to Moore, towers above varicolored mountains and chasms which surround it on all sides. On a clear day the Smithsonian observers can see the ships in the Gulf of Suez, thirty miles away. Location Is Ideal To the south is the Red Sea, and to the east the Gulf of Abaka, which separate the Sinai peninsula from Egypt. The mountain towers 8,600 feet above sea level. Moore reports that there is little cloudiness on the mountain top and that the observers ought to get satisfactory measurements on about 89 per cent of the days of the year. The only difficulty is the formation of haze in the spring months, due to fine dust particles carried to high altitudes from the sand storms on the Sahara.

CONTMCT BRIDGE BY \VM. E. McKEXXEY. Secretary, American Bridge League 'V.f'OST no trump contracts are made up of aces, kings and queens. However, game seldom can be made with high cards alone and a successful game contract requires intermediate or supporting cards. Here is a hand in which the declarer had neither a predominance of high cards, nor a long suit to run, and the success of his contract hinged upon the proper use of eight and nine spots. North and South were vulnerable. East and West were not. South and West passed, but North opened the bidding in third position with one club. He did not have sufficient Strength to bid one no trump, and preferred to bid clubs rather than spades in order to give his partner a better opportunity to make a one-over-one bid. East overcalled with one heart, and South bid one no trump. West passed and North showed his second four-card suit by bidding two spades. South bid two no trump and North carried the contract to three no trump. a a tt VITEST opened the nine of ’ ’ hearts, on which East played the queen, and declarer won the trick with the ace. He next led the three of clubs, finessing the eight

spot in dummy which drove out East's queen. East realized that another heart lead would establish two heart tricks for the declarer, and a spade or diamond lead might also cost a trick. The club suit was apparently established in any event, so East returned a club. * n tt "TXECLARER cashed the ace and Jack of clubs in dummy, but purposely refrained from leading the last club. He next led a spade to the jack in his own hand, and West refused to win the trick. Declarer then led the eight of spades, and when West still refused to cover, he. finessed the nine in dummy. He led the queen of spades, discarding a diamond from his own hand, and this time West played the ace and returned another spade, fearing to be left in for a forced diamond lead. East was beginning to squirm at the continued discards and finally discarded down to the king, ten and five of hearts and the ace and seven of diamonds. Declarer kept three hearts and the queen-ten of diamonds. The last club was now led from the North hand, and whatever East discarded, his position was hopeless. Tire only trick East could make was the king of hearts, and declarer succeeded in making four no trump. (Copyright. 1933. bv NBA Service. Inc.)
