WAR AVIATOR
TO TRY WORLD
FLIGHT Alone
Florida Man to Start Long
Hop From London
Sept. |.
BY ALFRED P. RECK,
United Press staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Aug. 17.-George
H. StOrck, World War aviator, will
start a lone-handed fight around
the world from London, on Sept l,
he advised Coast Guard headquar-
ters by cable today.
Storck, whose home is in Jack
sonville, Fla, left here a month ago
after arranging for the Navy and
Coast Guard to establish gasoline
and oil bases for him in the Aleut-
ian Islands.
His cable to the Coast Guard said:
Kindly advise if gasoline and
oil arrived safely at Attu and Dutch
Harbor. Am starting flight Sept.
l."
Planned Hop for Year
The Coast Guard advised Storck
that the necessary gasoline had
been taken to Unalaska, Alaska, on
the Navy destroyer Vega and had
been distributed according to his
directions by the Coast Guard cutter
Unulga at Attu Island and Dutch
harbor. One hundred gallons of
gasoline and five gallons of oil have
been cached at both bases.
Storck has been planning his
around the-World flight for more
than year. He came here this sum-
mer without Publicity or fanfare,
secured a commerce department pi-
lots license and convinced inSpec-
tors that he knew how to handle
an airplane after one test fight.
In his license application, Storck
gave his age as ST. He said he was
born in Paris, but had spent the
past few years in Shanghai, China.
According to information, Herr
Storck is reputed to be wealthy.
Seeking No Records
He told Captain Chiswell, acting
commandant of the Coast Guard, he
would not attempt to sIatter any
records, as the fight was being made
purely as a sporting proposition and
to crafty an ambition to be the first
to circumnavigate the globe lone
handed by air.
His route will take him from
Croydon airf1eld, London, in series
of short flights to India. From India
he said he would proceed across
Asia to Japan.
From Toxic, Storck plans to fly to
the Kamchatka peninsula of Siberia,
to Attu island, on the tip of the
Aleutians, to Unalaska, Juno and
down the Pacific coast to Seattle.
After reaching Seattle, his route
will carry him across the continent
to New York and back to England
by the way of Greenland and Ice
land.

Merry Mix-Up
OF Train, Men
Horse and Autos

Two automobile accidents which
will go down in the annals as most
unique occurred at the railroad
crossing on Imperial Avenue this
morning.
In the first of these DR.. Hugh S.
Maxwell of FL Centre had the eX-
perience of being towed out of a
ditch by Il railroad train and in the
second Chevrolet touring ear
crashed into u horse, carrying two
bareback riders, the Chevrolet be-
ing wrecked while the horse escaped
uninjured.
Maxwell was on his way to I'm
perial and did not see the train un-
til he was almost upon it. He did
not have time to stop and took the
only course left open to avoid a
crash. He steered his car from the
highway and took to the ditch be
side the railroad tracks.
The car stopped when il crashed
into a barbedwire fence i'll the
ditch. The doctor was not injured
but his car was hopelessly ditched.
That is, it was hopelessly ditched
until one of the train crew cOnceiv-
ed the bright idea of using the train
to tow the ear out again. Tow ropes
were provided and soon the car was
being rescued from the ditch by the
train as it was reversed back across
the crossing.
While this was going on two men
riding horse bareback were com
ing toward FL Centre from Imperial
when L car driven by V. b. Con-
heras Of Calexico sideswiped the
horse. The machine was brought to
4 quick stop with the entire side
caved in while the horse, frighten
ed but uninjured made a dash into
the crowd which had gathered at
the accident.
Motorcycle Patrolman Van Bezel
was nearly blowed over as the horse
hurdled his motorcycle, striking the
handle bars. The riders, however,
proved real ones and succeeded in
plotting the horse through the crowd
and finally bringing it to halt.
The horse was uMnjured save for 4
scratch where it had struck the
handlebars of Van Bezel 5 cycle.

TO
ADJUST VALLEY
POWER RATES

\ compromise for the purpose of
adjusting power rates in the lmpe-
rial Valley is being arranged by j.
j. Duell, head of the legal and utili-
ties department of the California
Farm Bureau federation AMI the
Southern Sierras Power company.
Two years ago tne power company
applied to the state railroad com
mission for 80 to +3 per cent raise
in rates and a hearing was set for
May 3 in Los Angeles to give the
power company an opportunity to
show cause. At this time they fail
I'd to appear and the case could have
gone by default but Mr.. Duell. hav-
ing made detailed inventory of the
utility's holdings and investments,
believed that the power rate in tn
Imperial Valley should be lowered
rather than raised.
Accordingly he requested hear
ing before the railroad commission
on June 20. THIS hearing has been
postponed however, at the request
of the power company, which de
sircS that compromise be worked
out.
AS the result Of similar compro-
misses with San Joaquin valley pow
cr companies farmers of that region
have been saved hundreds Of thou
sands of dollars and Mr.. Duell hopes
to effect considerable economy
for Imperial Valley.

the busy hours of those years. Mrs
Hoover worked with her husband
in translating Latin work on
metallurgy which contained all that
was known of that science up to
1856. The translation required five
years, and since then the Hoovers
have been adding modern knowledge
to the volume until it has become
virtual encyclopedia on the sub
iect.
Popular at Capital
The rigorous life of an engin-
eer S wife has been relegated to the
background in recent years while
Mrs. Hoover has devoted herself to
the arduous social duties required
of the wife of Il cabinet member.
In the years since the Hoovers have
lived in Washington, Mrs. Hoover
has become very popular.
Despite the pressure of social af-
fairs, however, Mrs. Hoover budgets
her time to permit her to devote a
certain period to what is probably
her chief interest in life outside her
home-the girl scouts. At the girl
scout headquarters Mrs. Hoover is
regarded as Zone of u.s. and she
invariably takes an active part in
whatever is going ON in the organi-
zation.
Mrs. Hoover dresses quietly, has
grey hair and strongly outlined
features, and uses no makeup. Her
dress has been described as Usual

There followed many months of ex-

quest for coal and iron.
No sooner had the engineer and
his bride settled down in Tientsin

MEXICO WILL

MEXICO CITY, June 30.-Gener-
al Alvaro Obregon will be elected

As the only candidate, General OBJ

ter what the vote.
1t is generally expected that the
total announced vote for Obregon
will be somewhat in excess of the
.309.947 majority which President
Pntarco Gales obtained over Gen
eral Angel Flores in 1924.
Obregon will hold office for six
wears, the term Of president having
been changed by constitutional
amendment from four wears, and is
expected to have full support in
both the Chamber of Deputies and
the Senate.
The Obregon- Gales bloc has ruled

too-open fight against Obregon De-
cause Of its friendship for Gales.
In all respects 1t is believed that
Obregon will continue to follow the
Gales policies. Since, however, he
does not take office for five months
il is regarded as unsafe to make
predictions as to what may happen
to the religious and other problems
that the outside world is most inter
ested in by the time Obregon is in
augurated.
If the Catholic church question is
not settled by December |, one may
expect that the hopes of solution
will rise appreciably once Obregon
assumes the rcins of government.
Obregon is regarded as likely to pur-
sue a more cOnciliatory course than
Gales and, presumably, the Catho-
lies believe him more likely TO lis
