AUSTRALIANHOP
is PROJECTED BY
SAN FRANCISCO

SAN FRANCISCO, July 2 eP.-NoW
that an airplane flight between Cali
fornia and Hawai- ihas been accom-
yplished by Lieutenants Lester Maitland
and Albert Hegenberger, of the army,
the next feat aeronautical officials
hope for is a San Francisco to Aus
tralia hop.
Milo Kent, chairman Of the San
Francisco flight committee, has pro-
posed that the James D. Dole flight
between San Francisco and Honolulu
for $4,000 in prizes be continued from
the Islands with Australia as the goal
The distance would be 1916 land
miles and four separate hops would
be necessary. CoStestants would fly
from here to Honolulu, 2,407 miles;
then to Pago Pago, 2,614 miles; next to
Suva on the FIJI islands, 1872 miles, and
last flight would be to Sydney, Aus
tralia, distance of 1908 miles.
The San Francisco citizens commit
tee expects to raise a purse of $4,000
to encourage the flyers in the Dole
competition to Honolulu to attempt the
additional flights.
Ernest j. Smith, the air mail flyer,
who has been awaiting the end Of the
storm between his backer and man
ager, left today for Santa Cruz to spend
the holidays when it became apparent
that a legal fight over who's Who'
in the Smith camp loomed before his
hop to Honolulu would take place.
Captain William H. Royle, of Oak
land, named manager for Anthony
Parente, backer of the flight, today
legraphed orders to an eastern manu-
featuring concern for a rubbet raft
such as was used by Commander Byrd
on his New York to Paris flight.
Captain Royle said Smith plans to
hop off for Honolulu within the next
two weeks, barring unforeseen en-
tanglements.
Smiths former flight manager, Ed
mund j. Moffett, filed suit in the SUI
perior court here today asking that his
interest be legally established and
asked that Parente and Smith te re-
strained from doing anything against
Moffett'S interests.
An order was granted citing Parente
and Smith to appear on next Friday
to show cause why Moffett'S request
should not be granted.
In his suit Moffett sets forth his
claim of Is per cent interest in the
Honolulu flight venture. The remain
ing 85 per cent is allocated as follows
As per cent to Parente, and the b'ance
of As per cent to be divided between
the pilot and navigator of the plane.

RAPID CITY, S. D., July tH)-
Representative Timberlake, republi-

visit at the summer White House
that President Coolidge will be

"Of course he didn't tell me he
was going to be a candidate" the
Coloradoan said, because / did most

mosphere indicated that he will be"
Timberlake gave out several inl
teryiews before he came from Wash
ington predicting Mr.. Coolidge's re-
nomination and reelection In spite
of hs veto OF the McNary- -Haugen
farm relief bill and he showed clip
pings of these TO the president after
state game lodge dinner last night.
"He wasn't angry" Timberlake re-
ported. "On the contracy, he SEEM

them"
The dinner guest declared that
the president was las dead set
against the McNary- -Haugen bill as

of bumper crops prospect for this

"He believes it to be perfect illus

pened under the equalization had
the bill been signed" Timberlake
explained. "The talk OF the west
being incensed over the veto is hot

The summer season has curtailed
somewhat the number of parties given
by the ladies of Douglas. The con-
tributing factors of heat, or rather
expected heat and number of the
entertainers and entertained out of
town, has caused slump in social
gayety.
Picnic parties in the hills and four
somes of bridge on the lawn act as a
means of social expression. The
larger dances and card parties are
missing during the summer months in
more southern points.
Organizations have either postponed
all gatherings until the coming of
cooler weather or invented other
forms of accomplishing their purposes
with the rise of the mercury.
The Country club season which is
built around golf and bridge in the
winter season experiences a decided
setback by lack of interest in these
two amuSementS.
A little entertaining is going on
here and there, but the majority of
hosteSSes have put off social func-
lions until everyone snail nave re-
turned in the fall.
The winter season will have the
added impetus of new ideas in the
way of entertainment from those
members who have utilized the sum-
mer months in travel.
June has flown and a number of
new brides will await their introduc-
ton into the social circles of the city
with the coming of fall.
Like a sleepy Spanish village during
the hours of afternoon siesta, Douglas
is enjoying the summer browse until
the magic month of September, when
homes will be opened to the cool eve
ningS of Indian summer and music
shall be heard welcoming the So
cially inclined to activity again.

Atlanta, Ca, June 23.--(NEA)-
Center your attention, if you're a
track fan. on Ed Hamm of Georgia
Tech, whose broad jump in the recent
Southern Conference track meet was
the big noise of the affair down in
Dixie.
Hamm didn't break any worlds
record, but he did sail through the
air for "a feet II ga inches. which
ranks him as one of the outstanding
field performers Of the year.
DcHart Hubbard holds the world
record with leap Of Is feet 10 7-8
inches.
If A. G. Cuttcrson's record is taken
rs the best ever made in the Olympic
games. discarding Bob Legendre's
mark while taking part in the death
lon. it is seen that Hamm shattered
the Olympic mark Of "a feet IL IA
inches.
Broad jumpers who hit clost to Is
feet consistently arc few and far be-
tween. That's why young Ed Hamm
is going to be watched closely in his
future jumps. He may get close to
