FLIERS SPEED EASTW ARD ON 2.190 MILE FLIGHT TO CLEVELAND LOS ANGELES Sept. 3—(UP) — Seven Bendix trophy racers sped eastward on a 2.100 mile flight to Cleveland today in a half dozen types of planes ranging from compact little speedsters to a two-motored trans-
port.
Accidents last night and early today eliminated two racers before the takeoffs. Col. Roscoe Turner’s “Comet” plane was damaged in an explosion while mechanics were welding a gasoline tank on it, and Bob Perlich, of Glendale, Calif, smashed his Beechcraft cabin plane in a ground loop while leaving the starting line at Union terminal airport here. Neither flier was hurt. The first flier away was Jacqueline Cochran, the only woman entrant. She flashed away from the runway at 12:04 a m., reported by radio that she had averaged 222 miles the first hour and was over Winslow. Ariz., before 2 a. m. She also reported that trouble had developed in her plane’s carburetor heat control and asked that her mechanic meet her at the Wichita airport when she stopped there for fuel. Miss Cochran was flying alone. Her Beechcraft sportster was credited with 275 miles an hour top speed. E. C. (Sonny) Sundorph was away second, at 12.20 a. m.. in a stubbywinged Sundorph Special. Radioman Jim Yost of Cleveland accompanied him. They planned to stop for fuel at Kansas City.

■ UP' The Roosevelt administration, by appointing Mayor John W. Kern of Indianapolis to the U. S. Board of Tax Appeals, repaid Gov. M. Clifford Townsend for his ardent support of the new deal, particularly on the Supreme court reform fight. Democratic observers informed the
United Press today.
Kern’s appointment, announced yesterday, gives him a 12-year federal post at $10,000 and gives Indiana its third importan’ recognition in the last six months. Former Gov. Paul V. McNutt was named U. S. Commissioner to the Philippines and Pleas Greenlee, former secretary to McNutt and unsuccessful candidate f r governor last year, was nanwd to the National Bituminous Coal
Commission.
Politically, Kero's appointment is of vast significance. Townsend was consulted on Kern by Postmaster-General James A Farley during one or all of his visits to Indiana. He is believed to have endorsed Kern. This allowed him to repay the favor Kero did for him in the 1936 state convention when forces allied with Krrn split the Marion county delegation in favor if Townsend when it had appeared that th" delegation was going for E. Kirk McKinney. Indianapolis banker backed for Governor by U. S. Senator Frederick Van Nuys. Kern several months ago was discussed as a possible candidate to opnose the renominaticn of Van Nuys when the Townsend administration openly declared war on the state's senior senator for his indifference toward the party’s state and national
leadership.

COATKSVILLE TOMATOES (Con tinned Frmn I*ns;e One) four acres each day. The same machine applies fertilizer at the time of the planting. Each intending producer has his soil tested in advance to determine just the grade of fertilizer he should use. The fertilizer is supplied, also, by the packers, but they charge the cost of both plants and fertilizer to the producer, deducting the amount from his pay for tomatoes, later. Mr. Davis pointed out to the writer the important fact that both wheat and clover may be planted in the soil from which a tomato crq^i has been harvested, without the addition of fertilizer for the wheat or clover. Tomatoes should be planted on any certain tract of land only once in four years, because of disease which appears in the tomato fields late in the season. But these diseases do not affect any other crop. The tomato harvesting season starts about the last week in July and closes about the last week !r> October. The peak is reached about the middle of September. Possihlby the most important phas" ! of this entire matter is the intention of Mr. Davis, who is pastor of th* Methodist church at Brick Chapal to enlist a number of Putnam county farmers in the production of tomatoes for canning purposes. He started in 1933 with about 250 acres in the Coctesville area and now is handling the product of nearly three times that amount of acreage. He hopes to be able to convince Putnam county farmers that tomatoes are a well-paying crop, and that they are a reliable crop. This county has a large acreage of

“It is the same with all snakes,” he added, "when the temperature goes below 70 degrees a snake grows sluggish, at 50 it is nearly helpless and it will die in freezing weather. “However, snakes do not like excessively hot weather. When the mercury is above 90 degrees snakes will seek a damp, shaded area to
