Hovers High.

Smoke and fame signals sent out
by an army airplane lowering over
the northeastern part of the city
yesterday afternoon to the home
hangers at Boiling Field caused
CONSERVATION among residents Of
that section who believed that an
accident had occurred in midair.
Inquiries at Boiling Field, how
ever. disclosed the fact that no &C.
cident had happened yesterday to a
plane or aviator of the local army
field. 1t was stated that very little
flying had been done since Christ
mas. This was accounted for by
the muddy condition of the take
off, field, which prevented easy
ascension.
1t is believed that Boiling Field
has established record for no
casualties among the flying fields of
the country. Since the station was
taken over by the army approx
mately two years ago. only one Sc
rious accident has occurred.
A Handley-Page machine from the
factory at Elizabeth. n. j., arrived
at the field late yesterday after
noon. Maj. Kenly, director of the
Department of Military Aeronautics,
and his party of flyers is expected to
reach the field from Mineola, N. Y,
