HONEYWELL THE
FAVORITE PILOT
BALLOON RACE

Geneva, Switzerland. Aug. S.-Thun
derstorms and snow squalls nearly
spoiled the international balloon race
for the James Gordon Bennett cup
and gloom descended upon the en-
thusiasts here when news was receiv-
ed of several early landings on ac-
count OF bad weather, some inside
Swi! zerland and others only a small
distance over the frontier in Ger
many.
Later however, as reports continued
lacking from one French, one Swiss,
the three Americans, two. Belgians
and one Italian, hopes, arose that some
of the pilots had been able to rise
above the storm zone and make good
distances.
The American pilots remained the
favorites even after Lieut.. Walter
Reed had reported landing near Pap.
penheim, Germany. He apparently
was out-distanced by Lieut.. Armbrus
ter, Swiss, who reported from Ker-
Stag, Lower Austria, but later Major
Oscar Westover. the American pilot
was heard from in Hungary The race
now appears to lie between Captain
H. E. Honeywell, American, unheard
from, Major Westover and an Italian
Guglieilmetti, who was the latest to
report. having landed at Salorn, in
Czecho-Slovakia.
The general opinion in aeronautical
circles here is that Capt Honeywell
will win. Those to be heard from
yet today besides Capt. Honeywell

French "Anjou," an Italian. Triomph-

ported
The "City of Brussels" Belgian en-
try, Lieut.. La Broussie, pilot, has
landed at Steinmanger, Western Hun
gary, leaving five ballons yet to be
heard from.
1t is supposed that these travelled
northward with better chances of max
ing distance than the group that was
driven eastward and encountered bad
weather.
Verification of the distances shows
that Mourice Bieaine, pilot of the
Frenc ballon Picardie, which came
down four miles west of Nor. Hun.

HIGH COST OF LIVING PUTS
BRAKES ON WEDDING MARCH
FOR LOVELORN GERMANS

Berlin, Aug. S.-"Feathering ones
nest" is a formidable proposition for
the young German of today who con-
templates matrimony. Furniture and
building costs have sunk to such an
extent that the strains of wedding
marches fail to have much of an ap.
peal for either Hans" or Gretchen"
Tradition has long decreed that the
young man in Germany is expected
to provide a house for his bride to
be before marriage. The latter for
her part, should approach the altar
with a dowry sufficient to furnish her
new home with everything from broom
to bedstead. Silverware and special
comforts for the household ordinarily
are contributed by relatives or by
guests attending the wedding.
However, there is little prospect of
German girl in the middle or low
, er classes living up to this custom
today. Depending on earnings of a
few hundred marks week she finds
little to save up for her dowry. On
the other hand, the man of her choice
despairing in his search of a place
to rent is forced to consider breach
of promise when confronted with pres
ent building expenses.
After deciding to erect a new home
for his bride, he finds the prices of
building materials are more than 81
times what they were before the war.

GREAT PLANT IN MELBOURNE
Australian City Is Building Radio Sta
tion fer Direct Communication
With Great Britain.

The work Of establishing the mann
moth Australian radio station in Mel
bourne for direct communication with
Great Britain has been begun.
The subStations for overseas traffic
will be about three times as powerful
as any European station today. II Will
take two years before the central and
feeder stations are completed. AS a
normal performance the chief station
will be able TO speak direct over l2,'
600 miles for the greater part of any
working day.
Receiving and Sending stations to
correspond VIII be built In Canada dur
Ing the same period The plant for
the main station will be imported
from England, but the plant for the
feeder stations viii be manufactured
in Australia, one for each Of the
states.
The combined cost Of all these sta
tions will be about S5,O00,OO0, The
main station viii consist of a trans
mitter and receiver terminal thirty
miles apart. the latter including twen-
ty-four towers each SEQ feet high
spread over q square mile.
The wireless rates will be onethird
less than the present cable rates to
Europe.
