One dispatch made mention
Of the Barendrecht being in the
vicinity of the Azores, but 9th
ers indicated it probably was
nearer the British islands than
to the Azores.
The dramatic ending of Miss
Elders fight brought a thrill
of joy not only to her friends
and those of Captain Halde-
man, but to most of the coun-
try.
Public Doubted Intention
When, weeks ago, Miss Ell
der and her pilot arrived in
New York in their Stinson-Dds
troiter plane, the public seemed
unwilling to believe that she ac-
tually was serious in her inten-
tion of flying to Europe.
Miss Elder, however, firmly
insisted that nothing could de-
ter her. She spent her days at
the flying field and in practice
flights, finally winning for her
self a pilots license.
Then the public almost for
got her. But last Tuesday
morning she leaned against a
door, weak with excitement, at
the Garden City Hotel, and an
nounced she and Haldeman
were leaving that afternoon.
1t still hardly seemed posi-
blbe she would go.
Hours passed and the plane
did not leave the ground. The
wind was unfavorable.
Daring in Take-0ff
Then Miss Elder and her
pilot did the daring thing
they reversed the position of
their machine on the runway,
and at 5 :04 p. m. Tuesday
rOared away into the light
breeze which was blowing-the
only natural aid they could
have in rising from the ground,
From the moment of the takeoff
until today the American Girl had
been sighted but once and that was
Tuesday night at 10:30, about $50
miles from New York, by the
freighter American Banker.
From that time until today, when
the sailors of the tanker Barren
drecht must have been amazed to
see an airplane come out of the sky
and alight on the water beside their
ship, nothing had been heard.
A hundred ships were watching,

ANNISTON, Ala, Oct. 49,
I'm here and my daughter is
safe. That's ALL" said Mrs. j.
o. Elder with tears of Joy in
her eyes, when informed by
the United Press today that
her aviatrix daughter, Ruth
Elder, was reported safe.
The atmosphere of frank ap-
prehension in the Elder house
hold changed at once to one Of
rejoicing. Mrs. Elder, in feeble
health, had been awake all last
night until a. m, waiting for
word.

BIZ United Press
OMAHA, Neb., Oct 13.-Dr. Karl
F.. Wettstone, who assumed duties
as president of Omaha University
this fall, has started a campaign
for a campus large enough for a
landing field for airplanes.
II want a campus with a landing

COTTON BEST CORD
Fisk DeaIerI Says Highest
Quality Essential.

1.-THE test of tire cord is its
wearing quality and ability to stand
constant flexing. For this use, cot
ton cord reigns supreme, after COM
parative tests against all other tex
tile materials" says o. ]. Conrad, Of
the Factory supply and Tire Com
pany, local Fisk Tire dealer.
1.-THE cords must possess the
greatest resistance to the constant
weaving and flexing that come from
inequalities in the road, which will
soon break down any but the tough
est, most flexible material; in fact,
any cord except a cotton cord. Man
ufacturers take extreme precautions
to preserve. the flexibility of the
fibre which enables the cotton cord
to lend enduring strength to the
modern balloon tires"
If you take two wires Of the same
thickness, but of different materials,
and bend them repeatedly between
the hands, one will flex many times
without apparent harm. while the
other will break after few bends.
In daily service" Conrad con-
cludes, cords in tire are sub
jected to the strains as the wire you
bend between your hands. So, cot
ton, though not renowned for ten
sile strength, possesses the only
f1bers durable and flexible enough to
give strength"

Tail Light
By sWEDE SWANSON

THOMAS r. FREEBODY, vice
l. president of the Motor Truck
Association, enumerates three kinds
of automotive pests" that to him
and many others are obnoxious and
dangerous in our streets. These are
the horn-blowing pests.
First, says Freepody, is the SHOW
off," who wants to let the world
know he's driving a f1ashy roadster
and has lost his manners in do
ing so.
Second, there's the employed dri-
yer who wants to get to his des-
tination in a hurry and has no con-
sideration for others. His horn
blowing is more 20 divert abuse to
the injured party than to himself.
Lastly, there is the nervous driver,
who Freebody believes is most dan
gerous of all. He toots his horn at
all times, whenever his imagination
gets the worst of him.
Goodness and restraint are essen
tials for good driving. Nervousness
suggests a fear complex which, if
pushed too far on the highway, may
be taken up by others, like a fast
spreading disease.
A slight touch Of the horn but
ton is enough to let the fellow ahead
know you want to pass. No end of
blowing will get you ahead, however,
if the traffic is heavy.
The best that can be done when
traffic is heavy is to ride along with
it. Horn-blowing is useless and
troublesome.
s.
A man In Southampton, England,
has equipped his walking stick with
a motor horn. Before crossing the
street he sounds his horn, attracts
the attention Of the motorists ana
crosses the street in safety.

COMEDY STARS
TO ANNOUNCE
DODGE ON AIR
Rogers, Whiteman, Fred
Stone and JoIson to
Broadcast Jan. q.

Will Rogers, Fred Stone, Paul
Whiteman and AL JolSon in four
different corners of America will be
broadcast to the entire United
States, by Dodge Brothers for one
hour. jan, 1890 to 1880 o'clock in
what is the greatest mechanical
achievement in radio telephony ever
attempted and probably the costlieSt
radio program yet given.
The program utilizing the facilities
of the National Broadcasting Com
pany, and American Telephone and
Telegraph Company will be the
initial step by Dodge Brothers in an
extensive advertising program,
heralding the Victory, a new six
cylinder car embodying new prin-
ciples of motor construction.
Will Rogers, as master of
ceremonies, will broadcast from
Hollywood, FREQ Stone from Chi
cago, Paul Whiteman and his band
from New York, and Al Jolson from
New Orleans. in a linkup of thirty
three broadcaSting stations made
possible by most intricate engineer
ing with special telephone circuits
and the use of over 10000 miles of
telephone wire.
From an engineering standpoint,
according to officials Of the Ameri-
can and Telegraph Company. the
feat entails the overcoming of
tremendous difficulties. Three trans
continental circuits will be utilized,
ole to serve the thirty-three broad
casting stations, one to transmit
the programs of the various per-
formers to New York where in turn
they will be distributed to the broad
casting station circuit, and the
third to be used for emergency pur-
poses In case weather conditions
affect the second circuit.
Hundreds Of engineers will be at
work on these three lines, both
prior to and during the broadcast
ing more than 200 men operating
broadcasting stations in the hook
up will be at work at stations
throughout the country. Running
parallel with the broadcaSting
circuits will be thousands of miles of
wire lines utilizing Geographic COM
munications in order to transmit
orders to engineers at work along
the circuit.
More than 100000 persons
scattered throughout the United
States will tune in on this program.
according to the estimate of M. H.
Anylesworth, president Of the Ma
tional Broadcasting Company.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES
z new SALES
ZONES FORMED
BY CHEVROLET
Better Arrangements Are
Made for Handling In
creased Auto Business.

Widespread changes in its field
personnel, creation of new sales
zones and regions and establishment
of better facilities for handling fleet
and commercial car business were
announced today by the Chevrolet
Motor Company.
Outstanding in the new arrange
ment are two new sales zones, one
at Detroit, Mich, and the other at
Knoxville, Tenn, and the creation
of two new regions, one with head
quarters at Atlanta, Ga, and the
other at Dallas, Texas. These
changes will bring the factory or
ganization into closer touch with
the dealers and will enable the lat
ter to provide better service, quicker
delivery and generally improved ia
cilities for the public.
The new Detroit zone was eStab-
liShed Dec. /, under the direction of
A. H. Goodman, formerly Detroit
city sales manager, while the Knox
vile zone will be established Jan. 1,
with j. E. johnson of the central
office as sales manager. These will
bring the total number of zone sales
Offices in the United States to forty
five, ten of which were established
this year.
New Office at Atlanta
In the new regional divisions ter
ritory formerly making up three re-
gions has been reapportioned into
five regions. This change resulted,
factory officials explained, because
the growth of business in the re-
gional regions exceeded the normal
volume.
Under the new plan, the former
Southeastern region. with headquar-
tiers at Norwood, Ohio, is renamed
the Mid-East region. 1t remains
under the sales managership of A.
F. Young and comprises the Nor
wood, Indianapolis, Louisville, Knox
vile and Charleston, w. Va. sales
zones.
The new region at Atlanta takes
the same Southeastern region and
will be under L. S. CoStley, former
ly assistant to Young. and embraces
the Atlanta, Birmingham, Jackson
vile, Columbia and Charlotte zones
which formerly were a part of the
region at Norwood.
In the Middle west region with
offices at st. Louis under A. w. L.
Gilpin, the Denver zone is being
transferred from the Pacific Coast
region to the Middle West region,
while the Dallas, Houston, New
Orleans and Oklahoma City zones
are transferred from the Middle
West region to form the new South
western region with headquarters at
Dallas under Felix Doran, Jr., for
merly assistant to Mr.. Gilpin. The
Southwest region also takes over the
Fl Paso zone from the Pacific coast
region.
Rapid Growth in Sales
With these changes effective, the
total number of regions is increased
from six to eight. Those unaffected
are the Great Lakes region with
