BALLOONIST IS SET FOR HOP 10 MILES HIGH Flight Into Stratosphere Is Awaiting Only Ideal Weather. Bv SAM KNOTT. V nitrl l*rr*% MafF C orr*<*D*nd*nt CHICAGO. July 2! The group rs Pica rd - Con . pton - Sci le flying scientists today completed months of preparation.- for one of the shorten*, yet one of the most important, aerial flights .n history. The flight will be one of the shortest because, regardless bf how much traveling around they do getting there, the fliers' destination will be only ten miles away. It is one of the mot lmiiortant because that ten-mile destination happens to be straight up and as Lieut. Commander T G. W. Setttle pointed out, "thens a vast difference between traveling ten miles north or south from Chicago and traveling the s,im< distance up from the same location ’ If. has not tyej. ett’ed definitely, and may not be until the time of the flight, who will accompany Settle on the world fair flight into the .‘tratosphere which Prof. August Picard of Europe tw.ee has explored. Jean Picard May Fly Present tentative plans are for Picards twin brother. Jean, to be the second man in the gondola, to carry out iii- five scientific experiments which are purpose of the flight. It was indicated today, however, that at the last minute an unnamed assistant of Dr. Arthur Compton may take Jean Picards place when the fifteen-story-tall balloon takes off lrom .Soldier Field to remain aloft for twenty-four his-tory-making hours. Settle announced todav that the balloon wa. ready and all the costly equipment in place i n the gondola All he is waiting for now is perfect weather. The balloonist said there was a slight invisibility flint the take-off may be made Saturday or Sundav, but that it probably would not tie made until next week. Weather conditions, he pointed out, must be perfect. The plan is. he pointed out. to go ten miles up, not a couple of thousand miles east to the Atlantic ocean, and if the air currents are not just right, the latter is the flung that might happen. Will Seal Gondola Although the balloon is as big as a fifteen-story building, the gondola is only seven feet in diameter. When the fliers roach the stratosphere. 3GOOO feet above the earth, they will seal the gondola. At lhat height the temperature is constant at 55 degrees below 70 ro. The atmosphers is far too low to maintain life, so 1 lie balloon is* s will have to get their oxygen out of bodies. When the balloonists get ready to rotne down, they will let out gas through valves and throw' out ballast. Settle says it is not only possible. but likely that Ins companion may be used as part of the ballast. One of the most important purposes of the expedition is to learn, if possible, the history of the cosmic rays, which constantly are bombarding the earth. Two sets of equipment will be used, on perfected by Dr. Compton of Chicago and the other by Dr. Robert Millikan of the California institute of technology.

It was evident that farmers had tak-’n advantage of soaring prices at their peaks. The movement of corn from the country during recent weeks has been enormous. May Wheat Is at SI I> c pite short crops, wheat movement also was excessive. Asa result, elevators, nulls and bakers have bulging stocks.

FARM CO-OPS WINNING NEW LEASE ON LIFE Relief Chiefs Indicate They Will Work With Old Organizations. WASHINGTON. July 21.—Agricultural co-operative organizations are taking anew lease on life, following a gloomy period during which manv men predicted that the new administration would have no use for them, and that thev would have to fight for ‘heir very existence. A movement to get all farmers into co-operatives was the foundation of the Hoover farm board. When this was overturned, and. the new deal bortn its administration of a law regarding acreage production. bonuses to farmers for their co-operation, processing taxes, trade agreements, and industrial codes, the motivation for farmers joining co-operatives was declared by man to have been taken away. Some held that the law would force all farmers into one big cooperative organization. However, the situation has clarified a bit. It now is seen clearly that co-operatives w*U remain, and will resume their natural functions to collective bargaining and orderly marketing. Along these lines they have much to offer an individual farmer, and their convenience to him and the* deep roots in his social and business life will not be uprooted easily.
