BAGDAD, Irak, September 30
Lieut.. Koennecke's biplane Germania
in which he was attempting a flight
from Cologne to America by the east
ern route, crashed here today as ne
was taking off in continuation OF his
Journey. The plane was damaged, but
Lieut.. Koennecke and his compa mons
were not injured.
Started Flight September 20.
Lieut.. Koennecke left Cologne Sep
mania by Count George Cedric Solms
Laubach, his financial backer, and
Johannes Hermann, radio expert OF
the Junkers firm. Their first hop, to
Angora, the Turkish capital. was most
successful, the plane covering the
1875 miles at an average speed in eX'
cess Of 100 miles an hour.
There, however, their good fortune
seemed to end. After putting the
machine in condition for continuance
of the flight, they hoped off last Sat
urday morning.
1t had been announced that they
would attempt to make Basra, at the
head of the Persian Gulf, a distance
Of 1850 miles, and their non-arrival
there for four days caused consider
able uneasiness in German and other
continental aerial circles.
Original Plan Abandoned.
Wednesday, however, they turned
up at Bagdad and it developed that
they had abandoned the nonstop
flight to Basra because of the made
uuate space at Angora for a takeOff
with sufficient gasoline for the trip
and for the further reason that a
heavily loaded plane would have diff
ficulty in getting over the Taurus
Mountains.
Instead, they flew from Angora to
Aleppo, Syria, and stayed there two
days for needed adjustments to the
plane before proceeding. A forced
landing because of motor trouble In
the neighborhood of Moslemiyer, not
far from Aleppo. interrupted their trip
to Bagdad and they did not arrive
there until Wednesday.

To meet this situation, the mer

preparations months ago and are now
offering their complete Christmas sup

~ the practice.

surances that complete lines o. Christ
mas merchandise were ready and
would be shown by the stores.
This action" Mr.. Shaw added

AUTO POLICY
AMOUNTS CROW

One of the outstanding features
OF the development of the business
of the State Auto Insurance Asso-
citation, I'll Occidental Bldg, in re-
cent months has been the trend OF
policy buyers to increase the
amounts of coverage, according to
w. E. Mckee, treasurer of the asso-
citation.
Mckee pointed out that the ordi-
nary policy of $1,000 of few years
ago was now being supplanted in
large numbers by $4,000 to $4,000
policies, particularly in regard to
liability insurance.
1.-THE courts are becoming more
liberal in matters of judgments and
the average damage suit results in
awarding damages in excess OF
$4,000, SO the policy holders are pro-
tecting themselves by increasing the
amount of liability insurance with
US" he explained.
The association now has approx
mately 100000 policy holders on its
books.
Operating in Ohio and Pennsyl-
vania, the association has estab-
lished units of territory to give in
creased service to policy holders. In
each district, the association has
named adjusters in order to take
care Of all claims promptly.
The association writes full cover
age on all types of automobiles.

AUTO EXPERTS

In bygone days of stage coaches
thhere were wayside inns at which
beast or man" were given food and

Today such inns are only mem
DRY, but in their stead have come
such modern innovations as the
Service Motor Inn, operated by j.
B. King, 100 S. Capitol Ave.
Travellers still make their way to
annd fro through the State, and as
indianapolis is located on several
State highways, as we'll as the Ma
tional highway, it is the crossroads
for thousands.
King has provided an i'm for the
attention Of skilled mechanics and
workmen on motor cars. Instead
of old Dobbin being put at the old
time inn, the new motor car may be
washed, creased, oiled, brakes re-
lined or adjusted, and other motor
troubles corrected at Kings Service
Motor Inn:
This modern motor service inn
has stood the test of the most criti-
cal and cranky of motor car owners.
1t is open day and night, ready to
give prompt attention to the many

Located just off the National
highway in the downtown district,
the place is convenient for motor
lists, especially those who put up at
the downtown hotels or come down
to shop. King has adopted a scale
of prices that are commensurate
with the high-grade service given
motorists.
