weather reports. He had taken off
in face of storms and he had died

field near here.

daring pilot dead.

lonely spot in New Jersey.

his death, two were outstanding in
their grief. One, was his mother,
Sonora Maria Rodriguez de Car
rama, and the other his flancee.
Early in the evening Sonora Car
rama had stopped at the Office Of
the newspaper Excelsior for word of
her son. When told there was none,
she replied, mo news is good news. F"
Hardly had she left the building
when notice Of the disaster arrived.
None present had the heart to run
after her and tell her Of her sons

Both President Gales and Amer
lean Ambassador Dwight Morrow
were. moved deeply by the news.
Though Carranza died in his noble
attempt, said Gales, Col. Roberto
Fierro will carry on the glory of
Mexico's aviators in his proposed
flight from here to Havana.

GRAND CANYON, Ariz., July IL.
The discovery of some Interest,"
ing cliff dweller ruins in the Grand
Canyon National Park has just
been reported by Park Naturalist
Sturdevant, who, with Chief Ranger
Brooks and Ranger A. L. Brown,
recently made a trip up Clear Greek
Canyon, a tributary of Bright Angel
Canyon, high up on the north wall
of the Grand Canyon.
These ruins are probably some of
the best preserved in the park. The
outlines of at least eight dwellings
distinctly show walls and in some
places the walls are nearly four
feet high. The rooms in the ruin
vary in size from six to eight feet
up to sixteen by forty feet, accord
ing to the depth Of the overhang Of
the cliff.
Stone steps lead up to the largest
Of the rooms. According to Sturde-
want, this is probably the only place
in the park where stone steps are
found around an Indian ruin. The
large room had a commanding view
of a fine meadow below, which prob
ably was cultivated by the prehis-
toric residents Of the cliff dwelling.

"Rallying tendencies which de-

NEW YORK, July 14.-In this
as in every other market, the down
ward course of prices is halted from
time to time by short upswings. This
happened Friday and was induced
by an easier money market, due to
an inflow of European funds which
were attracted by the high rate. The
experienced realize however that
fundamentals are required to Sus-
tain an upward price movement
and as we know the credit situation
to be in a deplorable state, these
periods of strength are seized upon
as opportunities to liquidate. This
is the logical course to pursue for
there is a real fight on between two
great but opposing forces. Money
always wins and money demands
that brokers loans be rduced. The
only way that this can be accom-
plished is by substantial liquidation.
