mems Skill.

By skillful plotting. which showed
thorough study Of the prevailing
air currents, naval aeronauts at Lake
hurst, n. j., several days ago were
able to guide a free balloon over a
course Of approximately ESQ miles and
land 1t in virtually the same spot
from which 1t went aloft. according
to a report made public today by the
Navy Department. When the pilot
wanted the balloon to go in a par
ticular direction he allowed 1t to get
up to the air current moving in that
direction, or lowering it by "valving"
gas to reach another current.
During the flight. winds from nearly
every point of the compass were used
to enable the pilot to accomplish this
unusual feat. The course was ap-
proximately 65 miles on each side of
square.
This fight, which took about eight
hours. was made with student aviation
officers passengers. This type of
craft is used to train naval officers in
the fundamentals Of travelling in
lighter-t -than-air craft, as a prelimin-
ary to work on the two large rigid
airships, the Los Angeles and Shen-
andoah. By the use of free balloons
the officers obtain a first-hand ac
quaintance with the characteristics
of wind and temperature as affecting
lighter-than-ai craft, and become
familiar with the effect Of releasing
gas and dropping ballast. These two
methods Of ascending and descending
are employed in the large airships
with the same effects as with a free
balloon.

BREAKFAST ST|RS
GOSSIP IN SENATE
Robinson and Caraway Deny
Visit to Coolidge Related
to Warren.

An air of mystery which had been
imposed around White House
breakfast yesterday, at which the two
Democratic Senators from Arkansas
were guests of President Coolidge,
started a train of gossip and specu-
lation today in Senate cloakrooms.
Senator Robinson, Democratic floor
leader. used some vigorous language
in denying a widely circulated report
that his presence at the White House
board had to do with the nomination
of Charles B. Warren to be Attorney
General, which is held up in the ju-
dietary committee by Democratic-in-
surgent opposition. So far as the
visit was at all concerned with pub
lie affairs, he said it related to a
pending bill affecting the places in
which Federal court is held in Arkan-
sas.
His Arkansas colleague, Senator
Caraway. who is a member of the
judiciary committee, Joined him in
denying that the Warren nomination
had been mentioned directly or indf-
rectly.
So quietly was the breakfast con-
ference held that many Senators did
not hear of it until today. White
House officials, even after the story
had been passed generally about the
Capital, refused to confirm that such
breakfast had taken place.

System Is Unfair.

The House commerce committee.
beginning hearings today on the ques-

by D. K Clink of the international
Federation of Commercial Travellers
Associations that inasmuch as the
railroads pay nothing for building
and maintaining Pullman cars, they
should not charge the public for oc-
cupying them.
He contended the surcharge could
be removed and still leave millions
in excess railroad earnings subject to
recapture by the Treasury under the
transportation act.
Arthur NJ Loeb of New York.
former counsel for the National
Council of Travelling Salesmen's As
sociation, contended that the rail-
roads can haul Pullman cars cheaper
than day coaches. The imposition Of
the surcharge on Pullman travel.

Debate Draws Thronq.

RALEIGH, N. c., February 49,
Determined that the experience of
last night when the North Carolina
House was forced to adjourn because
spectators crowded the floor and pre-
vented debate on the Poole anti-evo-
luton bill should not be repeated, the
floor of the lower assembly was
cleared today 20 minutes before the
session opened.
Even with no guarantees of hearing
the debate which would have been
staged last night had it been possible
for the House to proceed, there was
large crowd of spectators on hand
at the opening hour today. hoping that
the Poole measure, which would pro-
hibit the teaching of the theory of
evolution in State schools, would
come up.
Powerless Before Stampede.
A stampede of spectators which
sergeant-at-arms was powerless to
move last night, prevented considera-
tion of the bill. There was talk of
the aisles so that members could get
in, when adjournment was carried.
Included in the mass of humanity
that packed the entrances to the House
of Representatives, were red capped
freshmen and other students of North
Carolina State College; women, ask

Central High School paused in the
midst of its educational pursuits to-
day to honor q boy with a hobby
which school officials believe some
day may link his name with that of
Stradivarius. the world-renowned maker
of violins.
1t was unique celebration among
those which have been held at Gem

ester student, held the center of the
stage, because he has successfully
developed a hobby for making violins
that experts have pronounced re-
mRrkabie in tone and quality.
Strangely enough. the boy cannot
play note on the instruments he
makes.
Eddie's hobby for making violins
was born about IS months ago. when
one of his classmates in Centraj's
woodshop doubted his ability to turn
out violin that would actually play.
Since that time the boy. working at
school and at home. has made and as
sembled four violins, two of which
experts estimate will bring $1,000
each in two years, after age and
usage enhance their value. One Is
of the shallow-bellied "Strad" type,
the other a deep-bellied Amau.
All Parts Made ny Him.
Every one Of the 73 parts which 60

made by the young violin maker, who
has not yet reached his 18th birthday.
When his inability to purchase in
Washington tools small enough to
scoop out the bellies of the frail In

Eddie made them himself in Centrars

SUPERBROADCAST

NEW YORK, February IS. - An
eventual linking into a permanent
hook-up by telephone of stations in
18 cities for simultaneous broadcast
ing of programs furnished by station
WEAF of New York is contained in
plan for a supersystem of radio
broadcasting announced by the Amer
lean Telephone and Telegraph Co.
The new project provides that the
connection be available every night
from to II o'clock.
Long distance telephone lines will
be used for the transmission of the
programs. John A. Holman, broad
casting manager of the telephone
company. said yesterday.
When this project is completed"
he said, "a speaker can project his
personality in one breath to the fire.

people"
He added that radio fans are turn
ing from jazz to better music as the
most popular feature of radio pro-
grams.
The stations now under contract to
participate in the new project, he
said. included: WCAP. Washington;
/,
WDBH, Worcester; WIFI and WOO,
Philadelphia; WCAE, Pittsburgh;
WGR, Buffalo; WWJ, Detroit; WCCO,
Minneapolis; woo, Davenport Iowa:
VITO, Hartford and WEAR, Cleve-
land.
1T is not our purpose" Mr. Holman
explained, that the Is stations should
take our whole program from to IL
every night. We do not believe that
would be good thing. because it would
tend to destroy the identity Of local sta
tons They should preserve their in
dividuality and offer features adaptable
to their own localities and perhaps no.

them.

In proportion to the number Of stations
they wish to use, and the stations broad
casting such a program will be paid a
pro rata share Of the receipts On the
other hand, stations taking portions, Of
our sustaining program will be charged
pro rata"
An official OF the telephone company
said the Western boundary for the
new service is set at Minneapolis and
st. Paul and Davenport, while farther
southwark the scheme can be worked
as far West as Dallas and Fort Worth,
Tex, where negotiations with addi-
tional stations now are underway 1t
was pointed out that the use of the
telephone lines for radio programs
during periods of slackness in tele-
phone traffic automatically limited
the broadcasting project, especially
as the peak load period in the East
is different from that of the West.
Atlanta, Ga, would be the Southern
boundary of the link-up on the East
ern coast.
Cities besides Fort Worth, Dallas
and Atlanta for which negotiations
are still underway for the hook up
are Chicago. Kansas City and st.
Louis. Fort Worth and Dallas sta
tions would operate on a split basis,
as would stations WOO and WIFI in
Philadelphia.
