Pacific Hop lust Stunt to Richard
Grace, M0uie Flyer Formerly of Bismarck
(BY DAN THOMAS,

Los Angeles. July l.-(NEA)-
Flying alone across the Pacific from
Honolulu to San Francisco is a
dangerous, nerve-trying stunt. But
to Richard Grace. formerly of Bis
marck, N. D., it was only the latest
in long succession Of hazardous
enterprises. He has risked his neck
so often-in fact, he broke it once
that mere 2,OOO-mile flight over
the ocean couldn't daunt him.
Grace is %. Ever since :, was 16
he has earned his living by risking

Done for the Movies
Most of this has been done for the
movies. The Hollywood studios have
known Grace as the one aviator for
whom too risky q lob could not be
found. He would, literally, do any
thing.
The climax Of his long succession
Of escapades came last fall. Grace
had part in the war movie,

q height Of 1000 feet--and broke his
neck. That, at least, was the first
report. A more thorough examina-

was called on to change from one

ground.
Wrecks Automobiles
At times, demand for air stunts
being low, Grace has taken to other
forms Of daredeviltry to earn his
living. Four different times, per-
forming for the movies, he wrecked
automobiles while travelling at
high rate of speed. Each time he
escaped with whole skin, somewhat
to the surprise of the men, who
were focusing the cameras on him.

situations where it seemed like an
incredibly foolish venture. His
many escapes gave him confidence
in his own luck that could not be

a god luck charm-or else I would
have been killed long ago. Anyway,
! am confident that can make the
hop. And if the ship comes down
well, am pretty good swimmer"
Other aviators on the west coast
have long known Grace as a highly
skilled aviator, and when he left
they shared his confidence that he
would succeed. He is officially
credited with more than 5000 hours
of flying, and his planes have seldom
come down except when he wanted
them to do so.

Mrs. Peters has two pet swans at

She dared not 60 after them lest

In the rocky hills encircling the

they skunk away"
But even daybreak did not bring
the swans to shore, and for another
night she kept her vigil. without

the swans rot hungry and shuf-
fled ashore into their pens.

Jewish Flags Will Be
Same Size For Year


Manufacturers of wallets and
over the reduction in size of paper
currency, may find nights less wake
full If they wait until the national
banks fall into line with the plan be-
fore they consider altering their
products.
While treasury and federal reserve
notes will be reduced from the present
dimensions Of z 7-16 by 3 1-8 inches
to 6 1-8 by 8 Is inches, the approx
mate size of Philippine currency, the
national banks have not acted on the
proposal insofar as It affects their is
sues.
Further, year must pass before
the new treasury bills will be placed
in circulation, and another IL months
will be needed for retirement of the
old currency and such quantity of
federal reserve notes is on hand that
at least two years will be needed to
effect their withdrawal from circala-
ton.
Production Of the smaller currency
will be confined at first to the one
dollar bill It is planned to accufnu-
late stock sufficient to redeem all
old one dollar bills before the new
ones are released. No requests for
specimens of the new currency will be
considered by the treasury until it be-
comes generally available.
Counting machines and cash regis
tiers now in general use, officials de-
clare, will not be made obsolete by the
change. Although some protests
against the reduction in size have
been received by the treasury from
bankers, they have been few, the of
ficials said
They see many advantages in the is
suance of smaller bills. There will
be less need to fold them and that is
expected to lengthen their usefulness
Frequent folding breaks the fibers and
hastens deterioration. The small de-
sign will make them more difficult to
counterfeit, and reallocation of por-
traits will permit an arrangements,
when all denominations are IN circu-
lation, whereby each will be more
readily recognizable by its picture.
Gross saving of 33 per cent Of the
cost of production is expected from
the change, through the reduction in
the amount of materials required, so
per cent increase in the capacity of
the machinery used in their manufac-
ture, and reduction of the storage and
shipping space now needed.
The growth of the nation in popula-
ton and wealth has been such that
the equipment of the bureau of en-
craving and printing. would be made
quate to meet the demand for bills I'M
less the size is reduced. Thus, by
eliminating or posttoning for some
years the necessity for erecting new
buildings and purchasing new equip
ment, another saving is effected, al
though necessity for such investment
eventually is expected.
