POLAR AIR TRIP ID STUDY

IRepublican A. P. Leased wirel

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-Plans for a trans-Polar flight in September, from Point Barrow, Alaska, to Spitz- bergen and the North Cape. Norway, were announced here today by Edwin Fairfax Naulty of New York. Scien- tific observation of ocean, air and ice currents will be the chief purpose of the trip, he said, with the hope of establishing the feasibility of the new route for commerce as a secondary consideration.
 As announced. the start will be made from Seattle, with a convoy of several planes, which will proceed by easy stages up the Alaskan coast to Point Barrow, stopping at Ketchikan, Anchorage and Nome. The Arctic which has already been constructed, carrying four men, including Mir. Naulty. The other three are former service men and it was said their names would be announced soon.
 Originally, it was explained. it was the intention to make the flight next year, but reports of warm weather near ths Arctic circle had led to the advancing of the date.
 We rlan to make the flight as early as possible" Mir. Naulty said, and strange as it may seem to do it
 in late September, there are good req sons for the choice of this time. Our flight speed we estimate will be about 100 miles an hour, to which might be added the speed of a follow ing air current"
 Fuel was conceded to be the chief problem of the proposed expedition. supply ample for 50 hours of con- tinuous flight will be carried. it was said, and those planning the attempt express the belief that this would furnish an excess which would permit short by-flights at the first landing place on the Polar ice and at the Pole itself. Ii no landing places are found it is the intention to make the 115C mile hop without stop.
 If the first flight is successful others will be undertaken at once, il was said, with a view to settling de finitely the location of the magnetic pole and the determination of mag netic polar verticity."

MEETING DATE UP T0 FOREIGN
 GOVERNMENTS
Republican A. P. Leased wirel

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1-Deter- imitation of the date for the dis armament conference was under stood today to rest largely in the foreign offices at London, Paris and Tokio. The diplomatic representa- tives of the invited powers have conferred at length with Secretary of State Hughes, concerning the ad- disability of beginning the confer ence November Il. or upon some other date, and have in turn re- ferred the question to their respec- tive governments. Until further in- structions are received by the am- bassadors, it is expected that no definite action will be taken.
 Representatives of foreign gov ernments have made it plain, how ever, that they regard determination of the agenda as far more important than the fixing of the date of meet ing They are understood to have reported in detail to their govern ments the desire Secretary of State Hughes to leave the main body as much work as possible. but there is increasing evidence that Japan Is not alone in her insistence that the scope of the conference be more clearly outlined before the formal sessions are begun. Although con- sideration of that phase of the plans for the conference is not expected to give rise to further delay in issuing the formal invitations, it is believed that the ambassadors expect to re- ceive from their home offices in- structions as to the parts they shal ! assume in adding to or taking from | the list of subjects that may be dis | cusssed.
 | While Japan has made it cleal | that there are subjects which shs
 would discuss with unwillingness, i at all. there appears to be a growins
 conviction that unless some limita'

 Attacks Cotton

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1-The boil weevil played havoc with the south's cotton crop during July, heavy rain- fall aided in the destruction by pro- moting,a rank growth of weeds and grass and as result a prospective production of S,e23.00e bales was forecast today by the department of agriculture, having it's estimate on conditions existing July 25. That is loss of 230, 900 bales compared with the production forecast a month ago.
 3he crop declined. 4.5 points dur ing the month, much more than the average decline, bringing the condi- tion to 64.7 per cent of a normal, the lowest July 25 condition on record with one exception, that of 1866, when it was 64.1.
 Unpromising is the present condi- tion of the crop throughout most of the belt. and there is very serious threat, the department experts says, of continued and increased damage from the boil weevil. while grass and weeds. are exhausting much of the crop that remains.

Republican A. P. Leased Wire1
 OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla, Aug. 1. More than 400 cases of peilagra in Oklahoma were today reported to Dr. A. R. Lewis. state health commits sioner.
 Tonight he said he would not mini mize the danger in Oklahoma from the disease and said he was sure there were from 500 to 600 cases in the state. He planned to attend a Washington conference on pellagra conditions in the south.
 The disease is becoming prevalent among the Indians. according to the health commissioner, especially among the women. who stay at home much of the time and live principally on corn bread and salt pork. The men spend much time in towns where they eat varied foods and thus escape pella gra, according to the commits sioner.
 Many of the afflicted persons have not been treated by physicians, Dr Dewis said, because pellagra ap- pears much as sun burn and victims are in the secondary stage before the cases are diagnosed.
 Ii is of prime importance that the appearance of sunburned spot: should be protected immediately from the sun, the commissioner said. a. only in this manner can they be kep from becoming sores that lead to th' secondary stage. It also is of tn greatest importance that the diet h. changed to nutritious food and tha the patient be well nourished.
 The three stages of the diseas were described tonight as follows:
 Primary: Appearance of sunbur on hands and face and exposed part of the body. followed by sores tha become worse gradually. Interior c mouth, gums and tongue becom tender.
 Secondary: Stomach disturbed food repulsive.
 Final: Mental trouble, melanchol. insanity or death.
