motored Fokker plane, on its way
from New. York to Los Angeles, to
return here today after hopping off
for st. Louis, its next stop.
The plane stopped here early in

twelve passengers and started for

Haute when the pilot decided to re-
turn and wait for better weather.
The pilots hoped to be able to re-
sumo the trip this afternoon.
The four passengers who disem-
barked here flew from Dayton, Ohio.
Mark Gray, editor of the Indian
apolis Commercial, was the only 10
cal man among the four. Two of

Want Air Current Reports

Aviation enthusiasts in Indian
apolis today circulated a petition
asking Meteorologist J. H. Arming-
ton of the local United States
Weather Bureau to add upper air
current" reports for the benefit of
fiiers.
Paul H. Moore, Chamber of Com
merce aviation committee secretary,
said about forty had signed the re-
quest. A conference is scheduled
with Arlington on the possibility
of additional weather reports to
aid pilots.
MeteorologiSt Arlington said he
would transmit the request to the
Weather Bureau chief at Washing
ton.
Il am unable to say what will be
done until the chief of the weather
bureau passes on the petition. 1t
is the policy of the bureau generally
to meet the demands on the depart
ment as far as possible with the
present personnel and funds avail
able from congressional appropria-
tion," Arlington said.
Donald A. Mcconnell at Stout
field is a cooperative airWay OBJ
server for the Chicago bureau and
sends daily reports to facilitate the
mail planes.
Flying forecasts are issued by the
Government along l-established
air routes, the reports for this dis
trict being issued at twelve-ho
periods from Chicago. Pilots are
dependent on weather reports in
long flights.
The development of aviation 10
cally probably will in time lead to
extension of the bureaus reports, it
is said.
Flying forecasts which give the

by pilot balloon station, several
thousand feet in the air, observed

similar to a surveyors instrument,

SICK
HEADACHE

Be suspicious of persistent sick
headaches, dizzy spells or floating
specks before the eyes. They usu-
ally indicate a poisoned condition
of the system which leads TO high
blood pressure. Due to our abnor-
NAL habits of living we place too
great strain upon the vital organs,
especially the liver.
The liver becoming weak or slug
gish fails to cleanse the blood of the
poisons formed in food waste. The
whole system becomes toxic then,
affecting stomach, kidneys, heart,
blood pressure and blood vessels.
The liver occasionally needs a lit
tie help, and there's nothing better
+ for this, as medical men now know,
than a little OK gall. Ok gall is re-
r1arkable natural stinulant for the
e human liver, promoting its normal
active functioning, so essential to
real health. Dioxot tablets are gen.
uine OK gall in dainty and tasteless
form, each tablet representing 10
drops of pure OK gall. To be sure
of getting the genuine OK gall, be
sure of getting Dioxol. They cost
less than &c each at good druggists,
and few tell.
r0n T0cf Take this ad to the
s0V SUSS druggist named be-
low and he will give you a free
sample of Dioxol tablets. Try
them yourself. See the splendid,
quick results. One trial of Dioxol
and you will want full package!
