First Marriage Unhappy
The very pext morning Ruth
Elder appeared at the Lakeland fly
ing field with Capt. George Halde-
man, World War flyer and Cor
nell's personal pilot as her in
structor.
Haldeman taught her to fly and
the rest is well known.
Lyle Womack is Ruth's second
husband. Her first marriage, which
ended unhappily, was the result of
high school romance. While at
tending school in Birmingham, Ala,
she met Claude Moody.
Her parents didn't like Moody,
and the two eloped. A short time
later Ruth sued for divorce and got
decree on the grounds of cruelty
and violence.
A few months after that she met
Womack. Womack is something OF
an adventurer himself. He has
travelled all over the world, and is
at present on a job that keeps him
in Panama, where he and Ruth
lived for more than a year.
Now that Ruth's latest stunt has
had a happy ending, the Elder
family with all the rest of Admission,
is sitting back, breathing sigh of
relief-and wondering just what
Boots Elder will think of doing
next.
TOMORROW: Tomboy Ruth.

German Plane Hops Off

VIGO Spain, Oct. 18.-The Ger
man Heinkel hydroplane, D-1220,
took off at $3.50 a. m. and winged
toward the west in the direction of
Lisbon on its proposed trans-Atlan-

Horst MerZ, the pilot, decided to
continue on his fight this morning
after he had received reports of
favorable flying weather over the
Atlantic.
Merz refused to divulge his Amer
lean destination before taking off.
Unfavorable weather forced Merz
to land here after he had begun his

TO TEST PLANE
BEFOREFLICHT
Hopes to Take Off Again for
Copenhagen as Soon as
Weather Is Good.

PB United Press
OLD ORCHARD, Maine, Oct. 18.-
Mrs. Frances w. Grayson announced
today she would not attempt take
off for Denmark until her Sikorsky
amphibian plane The Dawn had
been given a final test flight.
eff the weather permits, we will
make the test flight this morning"
she told the United Press. "And If
the flight is successful, we will take
off for Copenhagen soon after, pro-
vided, of course, that weather re-
ports are favorable"
Mrs. Grayson said that reports
during the night indicated faYorable
weather for the take-off and for the
transatlantic flight.
Weather Looks Bad
Attired in a brown wooden flying
suit, with antelope skin topcoat and
a brown leather hat concealing her
bobbed hair, Mrs. Grayson was
busting about the Brunswick Hotel
this morning, supervising prepara-
lions of fresh sandwiches, coffee and
soup.
The possibility of a take-off this
morning began to be doubtful in
view of unfavorable weather con-
ditions. There was light wind here
and reports from along the course of
the projected flight said stiff north
east winds-unfavora to flying
were blowing.
Final decision was reserved until
additional weather reports could be
procured.
Plane Tests Well
The transatlantic attempt failed
yesterday when the plane was I'M
able to gain altitude because of i'm
proper balance of the 858 gallons
Of gasoline in its tanks.
Pilot Wilmer Stutz announced to-
day the plane is in perfect condition
for the flight, the gasoline supply
having been shifted. He said he was
more than satisfied with yesterdays
performance, and regarded the at
tempted fight as final test.
In lifting the load of approx
imately 1880 pounds, the plane
may have established a new world
record for amphibian planes. Navi-
gator Brice Goldsborough said.
