INDIA FLYERS FAIL.
Carr and Gilman Forced Down in
Persian Gulf.

IcTSldH uuhls
LONDON, May % R.--Although
great disappointment was manifest
here this evening over the news that
Lieuts. Carr and Gilman had failed
in their attempt to make a nonstop
fight to India, their performance is
considered highly creditable.
The air ministry confirmed that the
two airmen were forced to alight at
sea As miles east of Bender Abbas, in
the Persian Gulf. They were rescued
by a ship and are being taken to
Abadan. Their machine, a special
Hawker-Horsley plane. fitted with
Rolls Royce motors, is a total wreck.
341a Hours in Air.
Their total flying time was 81 hours
33 minutes and for just an hour on
Saturday they held the long distance
nonstop record until Capt. Lindbergh
breezed into LIE Bourget. They had
flown 3,400 miles and are believed to
have covered more mileage than the
two Frenchmen, Coste and Rignot,
who, by flying to Yask, Persia. last
October, were credited with the world
long-distance nonstop flight record.
Lindbergh, however, beat both these
marks with his 3.600-mile air epic.
Lieuts. Carr and Gilman were actual
ly in the one hour longer than
Lindbergh.
Performance Called Good.
Air Commodore Halahan said that
while no details were available as yet,
he considered it good performance.
He expressed the opinion that it was
possible that they met with adverse
winds or missed their way in thick
weather. This would have made 1t
necessary for them to retrace their
route in part and by doing so used
up their fuel supply.
Lieuts. Carr and Gilman, both vet.
eran air men, started from Cranley.
England, last Friday, with Harachi.
India, as their destination. They
hoped to reach their goal in 40 hours.
Carr accompanied the late Sir Err
nest Shackleton into the Antartic.
while Gilman was navigator in the
first Cape.to-Cairo flight.
Lack of Fuel Blamed.
KARACHI, Bombay, India, Nav 23
R.-The forced descent of Lieuts
Carr and Gilman, British aviators
on a nonstop flight from England to
India, was caused by the exhaustion
Of their gasoline supply.
The aviators came down in the
Straits of OrmuZ, 45 miles southeast
Of Bender Abbas, Persia. The straits
lie between the Gulf of Persia and
the Gulf Of Oman.
The sea was rough and the plane
was abandoned.

Arranging Bay Window
to Make 1t Attractive

why is bay window?
Some bay windows seem to offer no
intelligent answer to this question.
You know the sort I mean-with
starchy white curtains hanging grand
ly away from the glass, and with a
gawky rubber plant bursting from a
gaudy jardiniere, or possibly a fern
or two to give the nook an air-the
ensemble presenting about as much
charm and invitation as the front win
dow Of an undertaking establishment I
No wonder the bay window, to many,
Is a problem and a bugbear. But 1t
needn't be. Any bay window-even the
most hopeless adjunct OF the kind
can be made into nook of rare home
like appeal and decorative value by
just bringing ii into the room.
Soft net. scrim or marquisette cur
tains tinted TO match the walls, hang
ing in graceful folds next to the glass
will add 100 per cent to the attrac-
tiveneSs Of the nook. And colorful
cretonne draperies may be hung on a
pole so as to frame the enclosure
not shut it off-and add the twin dec
orative notes of color and pattern to
the effect.
Then a little grouping of furniture
planned with an eye to balance as
well as comfort viii complete the pic
ture. In small opening perhaps an
easy chair and a small sewing table
may suffice, especially IL the chair is
upholstered or slip-covered In the
cretonne Of the draperies.
A larger bay window might accom-
modate a larger grouping consisting,
for instance, sof a fair-sized reading
table in the middle, placed endwise to
the window-with a chair on either
side and a friendly well-shaded lamp
on it together with a row Of books in
book ends and maybe potted plant
to take advantage Of the light.
A spinet desk could be substituted
for the table If desired-in fact this
Is an ideal location and placement
for such a piece Of furniture.
And if one of the chairs Is an easy
chair, suggesting rest and comfort,
you'll be surprised at the Hvableness
Of the arrangement as well as its rare
decorative quality.

Impress of Old Spain
Left in South America

While Cartagena, Colombia, is a
most engrossing architectural ruin, a
legacy Of the old Spanish conquis-
tadores, and a fine example of an an
cient Spanish town, passengers en-
route to the west coast of the United
States find that it is also energetical-
ly modern.
The Spaniards, when they embarked
on their expeditions to the interior
of Colombia, had as a goad behind
their efforts, the Indian story of a
marvellous golden man, FL Dorado, and
saw him in their dreams as they
hacked their way through the almost
impossible jungles. Although the
Spaniards never located their golden
quarry and returned to the coast to
found cities, they did succeed in wrest-
ing from the bosOms Of the hills vast
amount Of golden metal which gave to
the country the name Of the man they
had been seeking. FL Dorado. And in
the cities they founded they left an

Industry VS.. Agriculture

NSs EASIlCQlIUTG
That there is growing trend in MANY
OF the important industrial centers of
the north and middle west to force
the Negro migrant back into the agri-
cultural fields which he has deserted
Tor the factory, cannot be denied. This
pernicious influence, frequently ex.
erted By INSCRIPTIONS employers. who
stu seek cheap foreign labor in detri-
ment to American workers, was re-
Gently reflected by northern chamber
ot commerce, which quietly round
robined' employers not to hire Negro
labor, but to offer each applicant Ne
gro migrant free railroad ticket back
to the farm.
The Negro farm deserter, who has
turned his back upon the improbable
hand-to-mouth agricultural life which
he has been leading for many a decade
IN county after county in the South
land, IS by no means the only agricul-
tural deserter. Compatriots, too, are
fleeing the soil to enter motor works
and steel mills. The Negro farmer,
however, has had twice as many rea-
sons to seek change as has the white
farmer.
Denied farm credit, harassed BY
mortgage-holders, being victimized BY
prohteers and facing uneven economic
competition by reason Of educational,
marketing, and other gross discrimina-
tons, the Negro farmer has long since
been facing the devil on one side and
the deep blue sea on the other.
1t is no wonder that he has felt the
urge to lay down the shovel and the
hoe to seek the pick and the wrench
of the fiery furnace Of industry at a
wage which would insure him against
gambling for bread and meat and rent
money.
What is the wonderment of the age,
however, is the fact that not few OF
the white industrial giants, who ought
to be glad to be able to hire simon,
pure American labor, have first sought
to turn the cold shoulder to the Negro
workers. If they really wish to force
the Negro out OF industry and back to
the farm. in favor OF Mexicans, Cana
dams. and 'hunkies," they ought to
take first-aid steps to capitalize Negro
farm life, just as they have capitalized
southern industrial life, which offers
but scant opportunities to the Negro

Negro engage in industrial rope-lump-
