MISS EARHART IN
 SILLY ADDRESS
Tells Yale Meeting She'll Let Experts Talk Seriously

New Haven, Oct. 20 UP)-Miss Amelia Earhart has revealed the objective of her long distance flight "a flying food survey.
 Deciding to be silly" the first woman 10 cross the ocean in an airplane took delegates to the first intercollegiate aviation conference into her confidence and told them all about ham and eggs last night.
 There had been some pretty se- rious talk about flying. President Nickolaus Engelhardt of the Yale .Aeronautical society, host to the conference, had declared flying to be "a serious buslness-not just sport" Floyd Newton, president ot the New Haven chapter of the Ma tional Aeronautical association, was pretty much in earnest over the need of an airport.
 Then Porter Adams, who pre- sided, introduced Miss Earhart. The tall, blonde girl took the platform steps two at time. lean- cd far out over the speakers stand with her chin on her hands and grinned.
 T don't know if I ought to-" she reflected aloud. "Yes-I think should. I'm going to be silly. 'Ill just leave all the seriou! talking to all those experts who vii address the conference tomorrow and tell you something about foot I have met during my flights. Tha ought to interest most everybody, she said.
 The girl flier pictured for a de lighted audience the ham sand wiches of the Friendships hop iron Boston to Trepassy, the inevitable canned rabbit of that Newfoundland village, the gigantic scrambled egl sandwiches of the transatlanti flight which scarcely permitted tn Friendship to get off the bay" tn London teas and the fried eggs universal American diet-which sh encountered on her trip across tn American continent and back in he tiny Moth plane.
 And maybe after two or thre years of flying I will have enougl data to publish survey on it," sh concluded.

 Tt is an axiom of the air." he ex- plained. that our course IS always decided by weather conditions. The take-off itself will depend on Weatn- CT conditions at Lakehurst. for t would be out of the question to take the dirisible from the hangar II a cross wind is blowing. Such a wlho might break it in two. II the re- pairs have been adequately com n1eted. we hope to start Wednesday, hui it may be Thursday. Once the shin is out of the hangar. We can get away in almost any weather but our course will be guided en- tirely by conditions
 The diminutive officer. who speaks English fiuently. said many other factors were considered n crossing cities also. such as the ume of day.
 "For instance" he continued. we would not pass over city at preah- fast time. That would make many neonle get up and leave their Ia bles and we don't want 10 olsluro them at such time
 While Captain Lahmann was dls' cussing lighter than ar na~'sa'ioh in general, Dr. Hugo Eckener, ms commander, was resting late from the busy welcome which extendeo into last night. The captain sal1 that both Dr. Eckener and himself wanted to express their regret 'c the thousands of people ali over the world who had telegraphed or written congratulations on the re- cent ocean voyage.
 He said about 5000 wires and twice as many letters had been re- ceived both at I.akehurst ana here coming from such persons as tne rulers of China, Spain. Turkey acme South American republics ane private citizens everywhere.

 Captain Lehman said the Sra zennelin would carry about .5 pas senrers on its inland flight.

MRS, SMITH SORRY
 T0LEAVE MIDWEST
Wishes She Could Shy and Shake Hands With More Women

Chicago, Oct. 20 RNHomeward bound, the Smiths of New York Governor and Mrs. Smith and their three oldest children-are leaving behind their first presidential stumping tour of western and south ern states.
 Mra Smith and her two daugh- ters leave 1t regretfully, sorry that they could not shake hands of few more thousand women who came to parties arranged in their honor, sor- " that they could not do more sightseeing in each of the cities and towns where their stops were all too short.
 Lame right arms mean nothing to the feminine members of the Eov- ernor's party. ''They will get we'll, you know. explains Mrs. Smith when she is seen rubbing her elbow some- what apprehenstvely.
 In each of the three cities where the governor has given formal ad- dresses the women have been guests of honor at various special functions of tea. luncheons, receptions. and just ordinary parties.
 At every station where the special democratic campaign train made brief station stops Mrs. Smith and her daughters were out. shaking hands over the observation car rail- ing, handing out Smith buttons, and batting the heads of babies held up by hopeful mothers. In every pa rade arranged for display of the candidate the family was present. making bows, smiling. and waving.
 And yet they all say they are not tired of it.
 A change from being the whole show was offered the party last night in Chicago when a municipal fireworks demonstration was staged in Grant park, directly in front of the Smith suite in the Congress hotel.
 The mysterious black void of Lake Michigan served as a background for the elaborate and colorful out. burst, while the governor, resting comfortably in a dressing gown for a time looked out at a show that was attracting the attention Of hun dreds of persons who filled Michigan boulevard in front of the hotel.
 In an adjoining room sat Mrs Smith and her elder daughter. Mrs John A. Warner. thoroughly enjoy. ing the display. while the younger daughter, Mrs. Francis J. Quillinan farther down the hall watched witt one eye-the other was on the look, out for her young husband who ha6 promised to buy her an ice cream soda after the speech.
 The day of parading and the eve ming of speech-making had tired thu governor and he went immediatel, to his room after his party's return from the 131st armory.
