Couple Are Lost
In dense Forest
OF Rock Creek

1t was into the forest primeval
(of Rock Creek Park) that James
Ryan and Miss Hazel French, SOL
dier and nurse attached to Walter
Reed Hospital. strolled last night,
arm in arm and leaving the cares
of the world behind them. I'm
aware of the density of the woods
in the District of Columbia, the
couple moved on. and when time
passed by, necessitating their re-
turn to civilization, they found
themselves confronted with the
word lost" A futile search for
the road or path that would take
them to the bright lights and con-
crete streets resulted in the broad
casting of distress signals.
August Croissant, a park police
man, heard the cries for help and.
wading Rock creek. penetrated
the area of trees and brush to the
uneasy members of the United
States Army and piloted them to

FLYER HERE TO AID
WORLD AIR FLIGHT
Lieut.. Crumrine Awaits Per-
mission of Foreign Nations
to Map Route.

Lieut.. Clarence L. Crumrine OF Nc
Cook Field. Dayton, Ohio. one of the
two officers selected by the air strv-
Ice to map IL course around the world,
preparatory to a circumnavigation of
Washington today for a conference
with air service officials, before he
leaves on his path finding trip some
time next week. Permission for
Lieut.. Crumrine to visit Iceland has
been received by the United States
government. and authority for his
trip into Greenland, Farce Islands
England, France and Italy is expect
ed momentarily. Pending. the ar
rival of that, however, Lieut.. Crum-
rine will remain in Washington.
He plans to sail from New York and
go direct to England. From there he
will go to Denmark and up into Ice
land and Greenland. and also will
give much consideration to the Farce
Islands. Upon his return to Denmark
Lieut.. Crumrine will select route of
travel for the American planes through
-trancel land Italy and then will re-
turn home. 1t is planned at present,
10 have the American planes fly to
Europe by way of Greenland and Ice
land. but if it is found that average
weather conditions are unsuitable, a
direct hop across the Atlantic ocean will
be made.
Liout Clifford c. Mutt now in the
Philippines, the other officer chosen, to
map out the orient will not begin his
work for a few weeks II was learned
today. His duties are to decide on a
route or airway from China to Japan,
the Kurile Islands and to the Aleutian
Islands. Permission for him to visi,
these countries also must be received.
Upon the conclusion of their trips
the officers will make formal report
and recommendations, and should
their route be chosen. other officers
will establish temporary airdromeS
along the route and arrange for dis
tribution of supplies, parts, motors
and other equipment. The object of
the air service in attempting the
globular flight is not to establish a
speed record. but to accomplish what
two other European countries have
failed to do. Hence, every detail is
being slowly worked out. and no ex-
peditious methods are followed.
The type of plane to he used on the
route is still being considered, and no
definite conclusion has been reached
1t was stated today that this decision
probably will not be made until Oc-
tober or later.

NUMBER PRISONERS
In COUNTY JAIL is
LOWEST In MONTHS

Only SO prisoners are now confined
in the county Jail. the lowest number
since the present administration went
into office The low mark is attribut-
cd largely to the fact that nearly all

have been withdrawn. and practically
all now in Jail are county prisoners.
Prior To this week. the jail popuia-
tion has long been above the normal
capacity of the institution, which Is %
men. but since the removal Of ~ imm'-
grafton prisoners last month, the mum
ber confined has been steadily on the
decline.
During last week the number OF OF
tenders has decreased perceptihly, pos
sibIv due "a the fact that most Of the
oilers who are constantly causing
trouble are now at work in the cotton
fields.
