 Chamberlin and Williams quickly climbed out, apparently unscathed. The right wing of the plane was crushed, the under carriage smashed and the propeller broken.
 Tells How 1t Happened.
 Chamberlin said he realized that he would be unable to take off when ground observers signalled him to lift it off the runway. He said he motioned to Williams to let out the gasoline so that the frightened ma chine might rise. but before that could be accomplished the tail skid dragged over the railroad ties and bounded the machine into the air. It lost balance and Chamberlin was unable to right it. He cut off the motor and waited for the crash.
 Chamberlin appeared crestfallen as he studied the ruins of the bis monoplane. Williams was optimistic saying: We will be able to make it next time"
 A. R. Maritime, backer of the flight when asked when another attempt would be made, said: II am not in the mood to talk about that now.' Mechanics after a cursory exam ination of the plane said the en- zine was apparently all right Lut that the rest Of the machine ap peared to be damaged beyond re- pair.
 Observers regarded the escape of the two pilots from injury as re- markable. Virtually all the glass enclosed section cf the plane was smashed into bits and the seats were filtered with it.

MARION HALEY IS EARNING BIG SUMS
Concerts Have Brought Over $SOO,O00 in Less Than 2 Years

Kansas City. Feb. R1loung stars in various fields who report their annual income in six figures face another contender for financial honors with the announcement that Marion Talley. Kansas City opera singer, earned more than $30O,OO in less than two years from concert tours alone.
 Concert Earnings 9S34,s82
 Part of the income of the young soprano, who was 21 years old De- cember 20. last, was revealed in q letter to the Kansas City Star from F. c. Coppicus. head of the Metro politan musical bureau and former manager of Miss Talley. He stated that her net earnings under his man. agement totaled $334.S92, since her concert career began in the spring of 1926.
 This amount. Mir. Coppicus said, did not include Marion's earnings from her Metropolitan opera en- engagements nor her income from her photograph record royalties. He explained that in reporting that amount he had deducted all ex- penses except hotel accounts for those of her family, who accompan- fed her.
 Retires For Study
 Mir. CoppicuS announced that when Marion recently left the mt-n- agement Of the Metropolitan busi- cal bureau, which is not a subsidiary of the Metropolitan Opera, he ad- vised her to retire for time to per init further study. "On Miss Talley's recent concert tour the music critics of many cities suggested in their re- views of the representative concerts that Miss Talley should retire for a year or two in order to study" he said. T made the same suggestion to her"
 No statement was made by Miss Talley concerning her plans for the future.
 She only said that she did not ex- pect to appear in concerts this sum- mer following the close of the Metropolitan opera season.
 Miss Talley. who studied . year abroad before her debut as Gilda in "Rigoletto" in New York in Febru- ary, 1926. when asked recently as to her plans, was quoted as saying:
 "Of courst. you see. I am fatal ist. If l 70 to Europe l will be pleased, but if I don't go I will not bs disappointed. never worry about anything because I am . fatalist."
 It was pointed out that from the time she first gained recognition while singing in a church here in 1S22. she avoided a professional career on the plea she wished to study, and that her debut in New York was postponed year for this reason.
 Marion is now represented by George Engies of New York, who succeeded MT. Coppicus as her man. AHAr

 CHALLENGING GRIT
Flight Over South Pole Fitting Test for Supdmn

The Antarctic, the Arctic and tropical seas are all familiaar to Frank w. Fritson of 32s South Main street. who was . member of Com- mander Byrd's expedition to the North Pole. Fritson, in more than IT years in the U. g. navy, rolled down to Rio" landed at Vera Cruz during the fracas, witnessed the building of the Panama canal. rode . submarine out of Ponta Del Gada in the Azores during the war and rounded the southern extremity Of South America.
 F'ritson felt the bite of the winds from the South Pole aboard the U. s. .. Delaware. which had been as- signed the task of carrying the re- mains of a Chilean minister. who had died in Washington, back to Valparaiso, Chile. Rougher and colder weather was encountered in passing through the Straits of Magellan than Fritson experienced in the Arctic.
 Queer birds called penguins that walk about on the rocks, but do not fly, are found in large numbers on the southwest coast of South Ameri- ca, according to the local sailor. but while there are many large Eulls and seals in the northern polar seas Che has the skin of one polar seal he harpooped on exhibit in the window of the Globe Clothing House) he saw few living things off the southern tip of South America, and was informed that there was ab- nearer the South Pole.
 Not willing to rest content with having circled the north pole, Conn., mander Byrd plans to fly to the south pole this year. Fritson says 1t was 660 miles from spitzbergen to the north pole and Commander Byrd made the round trip in 15 1-e hours. The nearest land to the south pole, Ross island. is 300 miles distant and Byrd must spend about e4 hours in the air because he found it too rugged to land at the north pole and the explorations of Scott, Amundsen and others have proven that the terrain at the south pole is all jagged ice offering poor accommodation for airplane landing.
 Land near the south pole is said to be q place where human beings have never lived. where 1t never rains and where the wind rages . 70 mile an hour gale at 30 degrees below zero.
 Knowing the difficulties encoun- tered in the northern polar regions Fr,tson realizes the perils Comman- der Byrd will face when he 'hops off' to the southern tip of the earth. but he sayA Commander Byrd is an ofiicer of tho navy. we'll accustomed to hardship. can get along on little and come through somehow"
 Proving his loyalty to his former skipper, Fritson volunteered his services to appear in uniform at the airplane parked on Central park for as long as ho was needed 60 that he might answer questions about the trip to tho north pole and pro- mote interest among New Britain people in Commander Byrd's Ice. ture about his proposed dash to tho antarctic which will be given to- morrow afternoon at tho Strand theater.

 HOME FROM CHINA

ton is afforded the various foreign agencies and for that reason mis- sionary activities in tho interior are directed from this point. 1t is the province in which Rev. Joseph H. Sweeney, formerly of this city, was stationed after his arrival in China. Father Sweeney and his brother, Rev. Leo Sweeney. had left KowIoon before the arrival of Sister St. Phil lippe and she hAs not seen either since taking up missionary work in the Orient.
 Plan Sclsooa foR Chinese 0iris
 Provided the two nuns now visit ing here are suecessful in obtaining sufficient funds through contribu- tions by parishioners of local churches 1t will be possible for them to play an important role in estab- lishtng a nov1tiate at Kowloon for Chinese girls who wish to become Roman Catholic nuns. There arc al- ready many Chinese girls anxious to take up religious work, 1t ts said. but the absence of . convent and funds to maintain 1t has made 1t tmpos- sible to inaugurats the work.
 The former Mia Ailafd and her companion arc also anxious to raise money with which to enlarge their Chinese hospital which now more closely resembles barn than an in- stitution for the sick and disa bled. It is now possible for them at pres- ent ts furnish medical and fint aid treatment to . total of 10 patients. Almost invariably those who have been aided have had their interest in the religion and the practices of the nuns awakened to . degree that they have taken up . study of the faith and many conversions have resulted. If it is possible to extend this work, the influence of the order will be greatly broadened, the nuns believe.
 Maintains Hossae For Aged
 4 home for the aged in which in- disent Chinese who cannot longer support themselves are given shelter, food and clothing. is also maintain- ed by the nuns with great success and has helped to make the order welcome acquisition to the cofn- munity which numbers 3oo.oo0 Chi nese and 15.ooo foreigners.
 In addition to the work personally supervised by the order. the nuns give of their revenues for the sup port of institutions through the in- terior which annually aid thousands suffering from tropical diseases, or who are made i'll through poverty and privation.
 Local pastors have endorsed the work of tho religious order and have promised their assistance.
 Sister St. Philippe and her com panion will be in the city for several days at the homo of Henry Allard of 14 Orange street. father of the local nun.
