 If the big ship is aloft today, Red fern has passed big portion of the 24 hours in darkness. naval naviga- tors and photographers at Washing ton pointed out. The naval men said that if Red fern reached his objective it would | be nothing short of a miracle. They estimated he would miss his objec- tive at Rio De Janeiro by about 450 miles, as they did not believe his gasoline supply would last more 1 than 57 hours. while with favorable conditions it would take 62 hours to reach his goal. They believe when | he reaches the northeastern coast of Brazil he will turn east to Pernam- buco.
 Redfern in referring to his flight, called it the Brunswick to Brazil hop, and said that when he reached the Amazon river he would check his gasoline supply 10 determine whether he would change his course to- Pernambuco or keep on to Rio. Not Far From Land The fact that Redfern will be in contact with land during most of his flight, is in his favor, naval men point out, as he will be aided in keeping his course at night by navi- gation lights from the network of | islands over which he is flying. He will be assisted also by ship lights as his course carries him over the United States-South American ship 1 lines in which there are numerous shipping board vessels.
 Not discounting the hazards he faced, Redfern left prepared for any eventuality, but at the same time expressed confidence that he would reach Brazil.

 Wife In Collapse
 His young wife. who witnessed his take-off, collapsed in the arms of friends as the plane sailed out over the Atlantic. But she was confident he would succeed.
 Redfern's 4,6o0 mile hop is one of the most exhaustive tests of both man and machine. Alone. he must chart his course and pilot his ship for more than 50 hours, bucking un- favorable winds, crossing the torrid zone; then over almost impenetra ble jungles of the Amazon valley and over the towering coastal mountains of Brazil to reach his objective.

Prayers and Doubt


 By the United Press
 Prayers and doubt followed Paul Redfern and his green and yellow monoplane over the Caribbean Sea today as the 25-year- flier at- tempted nonstop flight from Brunswick. Ga.. to Rio De Janeiro, Brazil, 4,600 miles away.
 It was presumed that Redfern still was in the air. He left Brunswick at 12:46 P. NJ, eastern standard time. yesterday. He was due over Trinidad. British Guiana, on the South American coast at l P. M, eastern standard time today.
 At II A. M., eastern standard time, today more than 22 hours had elapsed since he left Brunswick.
 Between Brunswick and Trinidad, Redfern should have passed close to Porto Rico about dawn today.
 Headwinds were reported over the Caribbean. Shipping in the vicinity had been requested to look for the flier and to report his progress or assist him as circumstances might require.
 Experts in Washington and per sens who saw the young man get away yesterday at Brunswick were doubtful today of his ability to achieve the goal he has set for him. self.
 Weather Favorable
 Roaring away from Brunswick at noon yesterday in the face of un- usually favorable weather condi- tions, Paul Redfern, Georgia avia- tor, piloted his huge Stinson-De- troiter monoplane Seward on his proposed 4,600 mile nonstop jour ney to Rio De Janeiro. He sought to establish new endurance and dis tance marks.
 Despite head winds forecast, Red fern today should be far along on his route through the tropics. Steer ing a course east of the Bahamas, the young birdman headed for Porto Rico, which his schedule indicated he should have reached by mid night.
 Pressing on, Redfern hoped to be speeding during the day over the waters Of the Caribbean sea toward the Isle of Trinidad.
 The daring birdman had not been heard from since his plane winged its way southeasterly out over the Atlantic.
 Far out of the path of ships blow ing through southern waters during the early stages of the flight before he reaches Porto Rico Redfern was not expected to be sighted until he had swung over the Caribbean sea, the cradle of hurricanes.

Fear He Will Fall

Brunswick, Ga. Aug. 26 (UP) - Although hoping and praying for the best, the people of Brunswick doubted today if Paul Redfern would reach his goal. Rio De Ja- neiro, in his monoplane Port Of Brunswick.
 Their opinion was based on cal culations of flight experts who be- lieved that Para, Brazil, 1,6O0 miles short of the Brazilian capital, will be as far as the planes fuel supply would carry the 25 year old flier.
 Honoring the town by naming his plane the Port of Brunswick the young Georgian took off here at 1:46 p. m. yesterday to the cheers of the townspeople and others from more distant parts of the state.
 May Arrive at 7:2O F. M.
 Experts estimated he should reach Rio about 7:20 p. m. (E. & 'T) Saturday. more than an hour after darkness falls in the Brazilian capital. if he arrives at all,
 Doubt is expressed generally that Redfern will get that far, however. His 525 gallons of gasoline, used up at the rate of 10 to 12 gallons an hour. should last about 47 hours, while the head-winds will make his journey require probably 52 hours, 1t was estimated.
 Headwinds blow almost continu- ally over the Caribbean, but the weather over the southern conti- nent was expected to be fovarable for Redfern. The navy's aviation experts, Lieuts. Earle Kincaide and Eugene Burkett. estimated Redfern' s actual speed would be cut from so to II nautical miles across the Caribbean.
 Redfern has no moon to help him and last night he must have de- pended entirely upon This instru- ments and the lighthouses and navi- gation aides in the West Indies, it was said.
 At midnight the navy men calcu- lated he was flying over Turk s Island, the British owned isle which was terrifically swept by the Miami hurricane of a year ago. His first light last night should have been that of San Salvador-the Island where Christopher Columbus first landed in 1492.
 Redfern's route was estimated to have taken him between Porto Rico and the Dominican Republic just before dawn today. Many naviga- tion lights are sprinkled in the

There are two distinct methods EN-
ployed in carrying out the process of
plastering on the inside of a brick
constructed house.
BY far the better of these two meth.
DDS is TO fur the inside of the brick
wall with vertical furring strips. 1
inch by 2 inches, placed 16 inches
on centers. so as to ALLOW four points
of bearing for a 4-foot metal lath,
which would be applied thereto.
After the application of the lath in
the regular fashion, a three-coat plas-
ter job is employed. This construction
not only makes for a solid masonry
wall, which is exposed to the weather,
but also allows a one-inch air chamber
between exterior and interior finish,
which is of great assistance in stabi-
iEi1g the interior temperature of a
house.
The poor method of applying plaster
to brick. which should be very care
fully avoided, is to apply the plaster
directly onto the inside surface Of the
brick. This not only causes dampness
to come through the wall and make it.
