Heinkel hydro-monoplane D-122O

1:21 this afternoon and took south
western course in the direction OF
the English channel.
Her ultimate destination was the
United States although it was an
nounced that the flight would likely
be punctuated with landings at
Amsterdam, Vigo and the Azores.
The outstanding feature Of the
equipment of the D-122O is the
American Packard 8O0-horsepower
motor upon which the supporters of
the flight pin their faith that the
expedition will end in New York by
this weekend, allowing for two or
three landings en- route.
Backed By "Air POOl'
While the plane is the product Of
the Heinkel plant and the prelimin-
aries to the flight have been con-
Quoted under the immediate scrutiny
of it's experts, aviation circles have
learned that the expedition is being
financed by the same "air pool"
which is backing the D-122O now in
Lisbon. This pool is made up Of a
group of German financial, CONNER
cial and industrial interests.
The D-1220 is a one-motor low
winged hydro -airplane Of the mono-
plane type, being equipped with
pontoons which have been subjected
to series of rigid tests. The plane
carries an 800 horsepower Packard
motor which supplanted the German
engine.
Horst Merz, the pilot, is rated as
one of the best German air naviga-
tors. Wilhelm Book is the radio
OperatOr.

PARK PLANNED
FOR EAST END
Strip of Land to Be Purchased
Near Richholt School,
Board Decides

Bismarck's east end is to have 8
park.
On motion of Father John Stag ant
unanimous decision of park boaro
members at their meeting last night
$1,000 was set aside for purchase OF
a strip of land located between St
Mary's cemetery and the Richholt
school. The money was transferred
from the fund for improvements OF
parks other than Custer to the pur.
chasing fund. The land is to be
purchased as soon as possible.
No definite plans were made as to
what would be done with the pro-
posed park, but suggestion was made
by members of the East Side Tax
payers association, who appeared
before the board, that trees be plant
ed and that playground equipment
be installed.
States Attorney F. F.. McCurdy
and Louis Benser spoke for the Tax
payers association. They pointed
out that the recreational facilities
are all located in the west end Of the
city and suggested that action be
taken to assure the east end some
facilities.
Interested in East End
Father Stag pointed out that the
park board was interested in the
east end of the city and wanted to
give it park. He said that the
park board did not want the citizens
to feel that the board was only in
terested in the west end of the city
and averred that they are just as
solicitous Of the interests Of the east
end as Of any other section.
The board decided to call for SEAL
ed bids, to be received by October
20, for the construction Of a drive
way through Riverside Park along
the Missouri near the Memorial
bridge and for building Of ap-
proaches to it from the Memorial
highway.
Work on the road, which would
encircle the park, was estimated to
include 2.O3 miles Of turnpiking, $50
cubic yards Of earth for extra turn
piking, 90 acres of clearing and
grubbing, 1850 cubic yards Of ex-
cavation, wire guard rope and guard
posts.

woman and loving" her.
But Bobbie did not know that.
Nor did she notice what he said
at the time. She simply knew
that he was asking her to marry
him, and wondering why she
wasn't happier than she was.
Surely she ought to be, she told
herself. She had been trying to
get him to say this very thing to
her for months and months!
And now that he had finally
said it, she didn't know why she
couldn't answer him. Hadn't she
been in love with him for months?
Hadn't she dreamt of going up
to the stucco house in the foot
hills, as its mistress? Hadn't
she dreamt, too, of becoming a
great movie actress with Gus for
her director.husband?
And now, when it looked as if
all Of those things were coming to
pass, why was she so down heart
ed? No, not exactly down-hearted,
but not thrilled and gloriously
happy, either. Why was she like
that, she wondered.
Perhaps it's because I've
waited so long for him to say all
this" she thought, cool and level
headed as ever she had been in
her life.
A Lovely Girl
She looked at him, and the sun
shining into her eyes made them
look positively golden, fringed
with their gorgeous lashes. She

doubt and hesitation than she

A vision Of Andy came before

He stopped her with another
hard long kiss. Don't talk to
me about Andy's bracelets now"
he said. his mouth almost on
hers. We're talking about you
and me. You're going to marry
me, aren't you?"
He knew that she would say
"yes'-and she did. But while
she was slowly nodding, she was
thinking:
What will Andy say when I
send that bracelet back to him
and tell him I'm going to be
married to Gus MacCloud?"
She hated the very thought Of
doing 1t. And 1t hurt her way
down deep inside of her to think
of Andy's face when he should
get the letter and the bracelet.
She knew just how he would
look-baffled and surprised. AS

for no good reason.
