Flight Not Likely

Washington, April 2S P-Major Howard Davidson, commandant of Boiling field, expressed doubt this morning that the Bremen fliers would fly back to New York after of Floyd Bennett.
 The cold, driving rain that drenched those attending the naval fiier's funeral at Arlington yestcr- day, continued today and the dubi- ous prospects for improvement led Major Davidson to believe that his distinguished guests probably would have to return to New York the way they came, by train.

Philadelphia. April 2S R,-state highway snow blows. which had been put away or the winter, were out in force today. clearing roads blocked by heavy April snow storm in some places the snow was 14 inches deep.
 Driven by high wind, the win- ter flare back piled up huge drifts retarding highway and railroad traf- fic and interfering with wire com- munication. In many parts of the state, fruit trees are in full bloom and early vegetables are peeping through the earth, but 1t is not be- lived they were seriously damaged for at no place was the temperature reported below freezing. Western and Central Pennsylvania appeared to have been hardest hit by the storm, which started early last night and continued for several hours. In most places the snow had turned to rain today, aiding the highway forces materially in open ing the roads.
 Cresson reported 14 inches of snow; Greensburg eight and Altoona six inches. Calls for help were sent out by number of tourists along the William Penn highway between Ebensburg and Altoona whose auto mobiles were stalled in deep drifts. The Lincoln highway was blocked in places between Jennerstown and Bedford.
 In the eastern part Of the state Pottsville reported nearly three inches of snow, while Stroudsburg and Bloomsburg also reported heavy falls. Paoli, 20 miles west of this city was the southeastern limit of the snow storm. That town report ed about an inch.
 Rain driven by gale that whistled with the intensity of a midwinter blizzard fell in Philadelphia through out the night. Numerous minor traffic accidents, due to the storm. were reported and some damage was recorded in several sections of the city.

 The Polish flyers, the dispatch said, planned to fly tomorrow te Villacoublay, where the motor now in their plane would be replaced by the special one they propose to use in transatlantic flight during the next full moon.
 The aviators are undecided whether to fly direct to New York or as is more probable, via the Azores
 Just Who Are They?
 Paris, April 2S Rt-"Who arc these Poles?" is a question that av. iation circles in Paris have been ask ing ever since Majors 1dzikowsk and kubala modestly landed at Le Bourget from Poland a few days ago ana 1t was noised about that they had thrown their hats into the transatlantic ring.
 About all Paris could find out was that they were both majors in the Polish army. that both achieved fame in the Polish aviation service during the Polish Russian war in 1920, that they were 35 and unmar- ried and that they were wholeheart- edly devoted to flying.
 Ever since they dropped into Le Bourget secretly and turned their heads when photographers appeared, they have done almost everything but adopt disguise to keep away from insistent queStiouers.
 A few of the military authorities at Le Bourget were taken into their confidence, but all that the ordinary mechanics at the field knew was that the two men whose names they couldn't pronounce were tuning their plane for a transatlantic flight. Even the nature of their test flight could only be guessed and the vaguest thing of all was the date they intended to depart, although early in May had been suggested.
 "They will go up one of these mornings and the next we will hear from them will be that they have passed the Azores was the general verdict.

BULGARIA BUILDING
IN RUINS Of QUAKE
Many Still Homeless and
Morale LoW-Aid
P0urS In.

SOFIA (Pl.-Leveled TO the ground
almost as the Temple of Jerusalem,
with no stone standing upon another,
wide swsthe of middle Bulgaria is
slowly shaking itself loose from the ef-
fects of one of the worst earthquakes
in Bulgarian history.
The wreckage of 1000 houses, which
were entirely demolished. is being
cleared away: 5000 houses which we're
rendered entirely uninhabitable are
being rebuilt, and fully 10000 houses
which were damaged are being repaired.
One hundred thousand persons were de-
prived of habitation by the earthquake,
and so were killed.
Many Still Homeless.
So great has been the loss of dwell
ing houses that sufficient accommoda-
lions have not vet been found for all
those who were rendered homeless.
Some persons are still sleeping out in
the public parks near Plovdiv, in Mid
die Bulgaria. The public squares and
commons are covered with tents i'm
provised from all kinds of materials,
from muslin to gingham.
Financial assistance has poured into
the stricken area not only from other
parts of Bulgaria. but from practically
every country in Europe. and also from
America. Workmen, engineers. archi-
tects. as well as doctors and nurses.
have been rushed to the middle section
to begin the work of reconstruction.
Morale at Low Ebb.
The morale of the homeless popu-
lation is on a par with their condi-
ton. For after the earthquake had
shattered their homes other tremors
continued TO be felt for several days
thereafter. The people believe that at
any moment another big quake may
come to complete whatever work the
first one has left undone.
Nevertheless they have set to work.
with the aid of workmen and engineers,
to clear away the debris. Even the fu-
nerals of the 80 victims of the earth
quake interrupted their labors for only
a moment The streets have been
cleared and traffic is again proceeding
undisturbed. Several foundations for
new houses have already been started
and plans for hundreds OF others have
been approved.

giant mastodon preserved $4,000 years

Fisher.
The astounding nature of the weird
adventure was further enhanced by the
fact, Mr. Fisher AYERS. that they used
a piece of ice as burning glass TO
obtain fire with which to cook Their
prehistoric elephant roast.
Mr.. Fisher and ranch foreman OF
his named "Wiggles" Wagner are the
two men who went through the expert
ence, as recounted by the former. They
were crossing a glacier in Alaska
having ridden up from Fishers ranch
in Alberta. when they lost their horses
and equipment. including their rifles.
After staggering about for three weeks
they saw a dark mass down in a creyice
of the glacier "Wiggles" was lowered

managed to keep with them. When
'Wiggles" realized his find, he
brought into play an ak which they had
also managed to keep with them, Fisher
said. Forty pounds Of the grand old
pachyderm was hauled up TO the
surface.
Fisher said they then chopped a
piece OF ice as a lens to start a fire.
