various Peoples Drug Stores or T.
Arthur Smiths ticket emporium,
after the loudspealser product OF the
weekend perhaps the most varied
and certainly one of the most salts

atmospheric conditions.
All that need be done to further
the urge Is to think back over the
last two evenings and consider what
q boon such a program must have
been to the inmates OF more than
forty institutions in Washington
where the Radio Fund maintains re-
ceiving sets. If sound, healthy
listeners received q big kick from
listening Saturday and Sunday
what must the program have meant

aged and the bedridden who have
nothing but the Fund receiving sets
to entertain them and keep their
spirits alive?
The singing Of Mary Lewis dur.

Very little. soprano can do

Hope of Oil Strike
Aids Sale Of Land

Hope of finding oil near Robinson
is making land easy to sell in that
vicinity, according to reports to the
Bank of North Dakota.
A recent action Of the state in.
dustrial commission, however, is
making land purchases by>oil specu.
lators difficult. This ruling resulted
in the placing of all contracts for the
sale Of land by the state of clause
which reserves to the state the right
to all minerals which may be found
on or under the land.
The rule has now been revised
however, to permit repurchase By
the original owners Of land on which
the state has fofeclosed mortgages
In such cases the purchasers will
receive title to the land % good a
that which they gave the state.
Five farms, all located near Rob.
inson, have been resold to the orig.
inal owners under the new ruling.
The original ruling, restricting
mineral rights, was passed in ordel
to prevent oil spectators from max
ing flake" d purchases by pay

holding the land until oil was strucl
or the state foreclosed again, &C

MISS ELDER
ESTABLISHES
new RECORD
Longest Flight Ever Made BY
Woman and Longest Ever
Made Over Water n

New York, Oct. 14-(AP)-A new
over-water distance flying record
was established by Ruth Elder anc
Captain George Haldeman before
they were forced down in the Allan.
tic on their attempted flight te
Paris. 1t was the longest flight
ever made by woman.
The previous record for over-watel
flying, made by Lieutenants Matt
land and Hegenberger on their jump
from San Francisco to Honolulu, was
2,493 miles. Computations Of the
flight Of the American Girl make
its distance about 2,625 miles.
AS figured by Lieutenant Earle
II. Kincaid of the navy, hydro
graphic officer for the New York
Times, the American Girl flew 1928
miles. Computations by H. Armand
De Mast, telegraph editor and avia-
tion expert of the New York Daily
News. are that the distance was
1925 miles.
Charles A. Lindbergh, in his non.
stop flight from New York to Paris,
covered 3,610 miles in 33 hours and
80 minutes.
Clarence Chamberlin and Charles
A. Levine flew from New York to
Eisleben, Germany, 1906 miles, in
46 hours 80, minutes.
Commander Byrd and his crew
covered 3,477 miles in Al hours and
q minutes in their flight from New
York to Ver-Sur-Mer, France.
Those three flights, however, were
on northern course involving land
over which the American Girl did
not pass.

FLIGHT STORY
TO BES0LD TO
HIGH BIDDER
Backers of Trans0ceanic Ad
venture Hope to Make Large
Sum of Money

New York, Oct. 14.-R,-The
"cashing in" maneuvers accompany.
ing spectacular achievement today
occupied promoters of Ruth Elders
attempted flight to Paris.
Backers Of the adventure wanted
highest bidder for the girls story
of the flight, while indications were
that contracts for movie and vaude-
vile work involving thousands OF
dollars would be offered the pretty
young heroine.
Declaring that the story Of the
flight had been sold to syndicate
and anything Miss Elder might say
to any other newspapers would ruin
the commercial value of her article,
H. E. Cornell of Lakeland, Fla, de-
clined to cable Miss Elder instruct
ing her to outline the flight for
American newspapers.
Story Will BE Sold
Were going to keep this thing
bottled up until we sell it," said T.
H. McArdle another one of the pro-
moters.
"Anyone would be dumb not to
know there is money in this, and we
would be dumb if we didn't take it.
Neither Miss Elder nor Haldeman
will say a word until they get the
o. k. from US, telling them who has
bought the story"
MeArdle said he would not con-
slider anything less than $15O,OO0
for the flight story, with an immedi-
ate cash payment of $4,000, but
received only a bid Of $500. The
dickering continued with waning in
tercst until last bids which the pro-
moters were willing to consider in
volved total profit to them Of con-
siderably less than $4,000.
Reports said two of the larger
movie producing companies might
offer Miss Elder contracts, and the
Keith-Albee vaudeville officials as
serted they had promise Of Miss
Elders services if she decided to 60
into vaudeville. Vincent Lopez said
he had cableds the aviatrix an offer
of $4,000 a week for appearance
with his orchestra.

Semi-official advices reaching

Apparently there were two en-

who were said to have outnumbered
the federal troops, won the encoun-

loyal troops counted only Is killed.
The lnsurrectors were reported to

First dispatches mentioned an un-

Missing Several Days
Ileana has been missing for some
